Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1623: Chapter 1622: Ye Sword Saint’s Sword Heart

”Furthermore, it’s Ye Sword Saint’s own situation!” Xue Nu said, ”Previously, the master had mentioned that Ye Sword Saint cultivates the King’s Sword, holding a sword heart that pushes forward without retreat, undefeated and unyielding. Ye Sword Saint, since his debut, has never lost a battle, ensuring that his strength gradually improves. If he were to lose, it would affect his sword heart, having a significant impact on his future cultivation. Thus, he cannot afford to deliberately seek out defeats!”

Su Yang was utterly shocked; he hadn’t expected Ye Sword Saint’s cultivation to be like this. If that’s the case, then Ye Sword Saint’s cultivation is truly arduous. After all, who can go undefeated forever in a lifetime?

”Cultivating like this, if he ever loses, wouldn’t it be that his future cultivation would be affected?” Lv Donglin said, bewildered, ”When he was just an ordinary Land Immortal, wouldn’t the Heavenly Court be able to send an enforcer to defeat him?”

”Not necessarily!” Xue Nu shook his head, ”Ye Sword Saint reaches Great Perfection in every realm, and he only fights those in the same realm or just one level above, never challenging those overwhelmingly stronger. This maintains his sword heart. The Heavenly Court wants to defeat him, but how easy is that? Don’t forget, Ye Sword Saint, Su Zhan, and the assassin are friends. These two are also protective guardians guiding Ye Sword Saint in his cultivation. Without them, Ye Sword Saint wouldn’t be where he is today!”

Su Yang and Lv Donglin suddenly realized that it was Su Zhan and the assassin who had been guarding Ye Sword Saint, allowing him to achieve what he has today. Otherwise, Ye Sword Saint likely wouldn’t have grown, given his extremely difficult cultivation method!

”That being the case, Ye Sword Saint indeed can’t avoid this matter now.” Lv Donglin sighed, ”But it’s for the best; sooner or later, he has to rupture ties with the Heavenly Court. Acting early is no problem—deal with their lackeys first and see what the Heavenly Court does. Will they choose to protect these henchmen and instigate an early conflict, or let Ye Sword Saint into the Heavenly Court without protecting these followers?”

Su Yang nodded; Ye Sword Saint was indeed making the Heavenly Court make a decision. If the Heavenly Court chooses to protect these henchmen, then there would be a premature conflict, preventing the selection of Ye Sword Saint as an enforcer and halting his entry into the Heavenly Court.

If the Heavenly Court doesn’t protect people from the four major sects, even if they select Ye Sword Saint as an enforcer, the result would be the Heavenly Court losing its dignity, causing the forces from the Human World allied with them to lose faith and potentially rebel against the Heavenly Court in the end.

Ye Sword Saint’s approach is indeed fitting for the current Heavenly Court.

”I must inform the master to prepare in advance!” Xue Nu stood up and said, ”Young Master, it seems like we’ll have to put our grievances with the Zhang Family aside for now.”

Lv Donglin, though helpless, could only sigh and nod. Recently, Lv Donglin and the others had been targeting Martial Champion Zhang Family, engaging in conflicts overtly and covertly with their subordinates. Lv Donglin came to the Capital City this time upon hearing that the Zhang Family’s third son was returning; he intended to seek revenge for his mother.

Given the current situation, it indeed isn’t suitable for him to continue troubling the Zhang Family.

...

The first place Ye Sword Saint attacked was Tianya Haijiao. After all, last time Qi Yongchuan insulted Ye Wantong, and Ye Sword Saint had long wanted to kill him.

However, upon reaching Tianya Haijiao, Ye Sword Saint realized that there were actually not many people left there.

After the previous incident, all those imprisoned at Tianya Haijiao were released, leading to great damage there. Nowadays, the sect at Tianya Haijiao doesn’t have its former prosperity.

Many experts were released from the Tianya Haijiao dungeon, and though Tianya Haijiao suffered heavily last time, its current strength is merely six-tenths of what it used to be.

If those experts released from the dungeon were to attack Tianya Haijiao again, although Tianya Haijiao could indeed defeat them, the problem is that Tianya Haijiao would suffer enormous losses itself.

Thus, under such circumstances, the Sect Leader at Tianya Haijiao decisively abandoned the place, temporarily taking most of the people to Medicine Sect to live together.

With Medicine Sect lacking strength, and Tianya Haijiao not being strong enough either, they are the places most afraid of being ambushed. Now, united, the two become the strongest, naturally no longer fearing attacks.

Ye Sword Saint didn’t find the people from Tianya Haijiao there, so he captured those remaining ones to force out the location of the others, then headed straight for Medicine Sect.

At Medicine Sect, festivities were still ongoing.

The people from the four major sects received news of Qi Bachi defeating Wang Pu, and Ye Sword Saint’s impending entry into the Heavenly Court, which delighted them greatly, prompting celebrations.

Previously in Pingnan Province, the four major sects had been utterly powerless before Ye Sword Saint, feeling very humiliated and extremely fearful of him. Honestly, if the Cloud Emperor hadn’t intervened last time, they didn’t know how many would have died. This was their first time truly experiencing the terror of Ye Sword Saint!

Due to this incident, the four major sects have held back significantly, staying within their sects, fearing to offend Ye Sword Saint.

Now, with Ye Sword Saint entering the Heavenly Court to become an enforcer, it’s incredibly good news for them. Without Ye Sword Saint, what is there to fear?

In fact, people from the four major sects have now gathered at Medicine Sect, discussing how to tackle the alliance from Qinghe Academy.

Medicine Sect was the first to make contact with the Heavenly Court, thus the four sects’ alliance is primarily headed by Medicine Sect.

The Second Elder of Medicine Sect, who first liaised with the Heavenly Court, now holds a position even above the Sect Master and First Elder, personally handling the reception of the other three major sects.

In the assembly hall of Medicine Sect, a group was lively discussing Ye Sword Saint’s imminent role as an enforcer.

”This time, Ye Sword Saint is truly finished. Once in the Heavenly Court, many things will be beyond his control. Let’s see if he still dares to be so arrogant!”

”The Heavenly Court has ignored him before, and he’s getting full of himself. This time, does he dare to make a fuss? What is he before the Heavenly Court?”

”Hahaha, without Ye Sword Saint, Ye Wantong will lack protection. Qi Shao, you mustn’t let Ye Wantong go!”
