“I, Qing Xuan, declare that from today onward, the Ninth Peak will leave the Sword Sect, and the disciples of the Ninth Peak will no longer be disciples of the Sword Sect!”
After Elder Qing Xuan finished speaking, a terrifying sword qi erupted from his body and shot into the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Sword Sect’s First Peak fell silent. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as deathly silent.
At that moment, countless people widened their eyes and looked at the old figure in the arena in disbelief.
Shock, stun, disbelief…
What did they hear?
Elder Qing Xuan was actually leaving the Sword Sect with the Ninth Peak?!
How dare he say such disgraceful words?
At that moment, even the numerous powerful figures in the seats of the ten high sects revealed shocked expressions, and they thought they had misheard!
Leave the Sword Sect?
What difference was this from betraying the sect?!
When they thought up to this point, many people instinctively looked at Ling Xuanzi and the rest with ridiculing gazes.
It was as if they were saying, “Your underlings are rebelling!
“Let’s see how you, the sect master of the Sword Sect, still have any dignity left. Let’s see how your Sword Sect, a supreme sect, can still maintain its foothold in the Kunlun Ruins.”
In the arena, the pale-faced white-clothed figure who could barely stand still remained silent. He only quietly watched the old man who was protecting him.
It was the second time!
Last time, when he was suppressed by Su Qilin on the First Peak and countless people laughed at him, it was this person who charged into the First Peak and even fought against Old Man Mysterious Sword to protect him.
And this time, he had killed Su Qilin in front of everyone and was doomed to eternal damnation. It was this person who had stood up to protect him.
He had even betrayed the sect!
This favor caused the usually indifferent him to feel warmth slowly flowing within his heart at this moment.
“B*stard!”
A cold shout came from Old Man Mysterious Sword and broke the silence first, “Qing Xuan? What do you mean by that? Could it be that you intend to betray my Sword Sect?!”
“That’s right, Qing Xuan, you’re too impudent!”
A victorious arc flashed across Old Man Heaven Sword’s eyes, and he said furiously, “The sect master is here, yet you still dare to say such disgraceful words!”
“Sect master, the Ninth Peak is about to rebel. I suggest we suppress them now and punish them for their crimes of rebellion!” The peak master of the Second Peak shouted like thunder.
“Third Peak seconded!”
“Fourth Peak seconded!”
“Fifth Peak seconded!”
“…”
In an instant, all the peak masters of the Sword Sect stood forward, and all of them suggested that Ling Xuanzi suppress Elder Qing Xuan along with everyone from the Ninth Peak.
Sword Sect claimed to have a total of nine peaks, but in reality, there were two factions. The First Peak was powerful, which was why the Second peak to the Eighth Peak followed the First Peak’s lead.
The Ninth Peak, on the other hand, had always been a thorn among the eight peaks because of its antisocial nature. Coupled with the fact that the previous peak master of the Ninth Peak had offended many people, it had always been a thorn in the flesh.
As these powerful figures stepped forward to express their stance, the temperature of the world began to drop at an extremely terrifying rate.
In the end, countless spectators felt a bone-piercing chill penetrate their bones.
The Sword Sect was in chaos!
At practically the exact same instant, numerous gazes shot simultaneously towards the largest lotus platform in the sky.
The reason being the person sitting on the lotus platform was the sect master of the Sword Sect, Ling Xuanzi, a supreme overlord that controlled a supreme sect!
Under the gaze of countless people, Ling Xuanzi’s expression turned grim to a terrifying degree, “What’s your reason for doing that?”
“A sword practitioner does not lower his eyes and bend his back. His bones can rule mountains. A heavy sword has no sharp edge, it comes naturally!”
Elder Qing Xuan said coldly, “And all of you, for the sake of a reincarnator, are at his mercy. You have long deviated from your original intentions!”
Ling Xuanzi’s eyes erupted with brilliant light, “Su Qilin is a disciple of the Sword Sect, so what’s wrong with us focusing on his cultivation?”
“Focusing on his cultivation, my a*s!”
Elder Qing Xuan’s gaze was as sharp as a sword, “Su Qilin’s talent is so high that even I have to admit it. However, Ye Wushuang from the Ninth Peak is also extraordinary. Why are you so unfair?”
“Who else is willing to leave the Sword Sect with him?”
Ling Xuanzi’s calm gaze slowly swept across the entire First Peak before focusing on Gu Quan and the rest.
His tone seemed calm, but everyone present could feel the coldness in it.
Old Man Mysterious Sword and the rest secretly smirked inside of them. They were waiting to see Qing Xuan make a fool of himself. Only a fool would stand out now.
“I, Gu Quan, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
With a determined voice, Gu Quan took a deep breath in and took a step forward.
Ling Xuanzi’s expression remained unchanged, “Anyone else?”
Another figure took a step forward, “I, Li Kang, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
“I, Meng Qingshan, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
“I, Su He, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
“I, Yuan Tiantian, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
“…”
Even amongst the nine disciples of the Ninth Peak, Hua Ling who was ranked at the eighth bit her red lips and said resolutely, “I, Hua Ling, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Sword Sect!”
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
After Gu Quan, seven figures stood out one after another. With each person standing out, Old Man Mysterious Sword’s expression turned even more horrible.
The Sword Sect had lost a lot of dignity today.
At this moment, the world was extremely silent.
There were a total of nine disciples from the Ninth Peak. At that moment, all of them stood out to support Elder Qing Xuan, indicating that they wanted to leave the Sword Sect together with him.
None of them stayed!
“Impudent!
“You’ve received countless favors from the sect. How dare you do such a disgraceful thing?”
Under his pressure, the eight of them felt an extremely terrifying pressure. They almost lost their footing.
Blech!
Gu Quan spat a mouthful of blood and forcefully maintained his standing position as he sneered, “Elder Mysterious Sword, you’re wrong. Ever since we joined the Sword Sect, all we’ve learned is the inheritance of the Ninth Peak. We’ve used all the resources of the Ninth Peak, so how can we receive the favor of the sect?”
“That’s right!”
Second Senior Brother Li Kang’s entire body was drenched in blood, yet he still roared with laughter, “Since the previous peak master of our Ninth Peak died, our Ninth Peak has never received any resources from the sect!”
“Great, that’s great. You guys are rebelling!” Elder Mysterious Sword’s face turned green and pale from their words. He could not refute them.
Gu Quan said, “Such a sect is inhumane and unjust. What right do they have to be worthy of our respect? What longing do they have for us to miss?”
“The nine siblings of the Ninth Peak might not be biological siblings, but we’re closer than biological siblings. Since you want to kill our Youngest Junior Brother, you should step over our dead bodies first!” Li Kang shouted loudly.
Third Senior Brother Meng Qingshan’s eyebrows lifted as he roared, “The nine of us will live and die together! Whoever dares to bully any one of us, we’ll fight them to death!”
At this moment, the eight of them roared at the same time. Their voices shook the sky, and their expressions changed, “Live and die together! Fight to the end! Those who insult my siblings will die!”
