Chapter 197: Chapter 131: Supreme Elder, Pressing with Great Momentum_2

As he spoke, a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

Everyone was overjoyed. ”Congratulations to the Supreme Elder!”

Tang Qiu said with a smile: ”Then I’ll have someone send a reply.”

Gu Changhe nodded slightly, his gaze turned towards the direction of Qing State, a sense of battle rising within him.

Having been in secluded cultivation for so many years without making a move, he was somewhat itching for action. If that True Man Tianjian is dissatisfied, let him come. ...

Several days later.

True Martial Mountain.

Inside the Bright Martial Pavilion.

Luo Wentian spread out the letter, his face suppressing his anger.

Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi read it.

Ning Qi’s gaze flickered, but he remained calm.

However, Taoist Longshan snorted: ”It seems the Inquiring Sword Pavilion believes they are too big to admit anything?”

The content of the letter was simple, the words were also very polite, essentially expressing regret that the True Martial Sect’s assessment had so many spies mixed in, but the Inquiring Sword Pavilion never sent any spies, wondering if the True Martial Sect had mistakenly identified someone. If there is any need for help, the Inquiring Sword Pavilion is ready to assist at any time.

The surface of the words was well-crafted, but there was no mention of any apologies or compensations.

Deep down, the words seemed to carry a condescending tone.

Compared to the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, the True Martial Sect indeed seemed like a child just taking its first steps. ”It seems the Heart Inquiry Sword Gu Changhe on the Celestial Being List at number fourteen has given them great confidence.” Luo Wentian frowned.

He had considered this point before, but never thought the Inquiring Sword Pavilion would be so domineering and shameless. ”What should be done now?”

Thoughts raced through his mind.

Charging at their doors over this matter, though justified by the sect, would seem somewhat rash, not very elegant.

But if no counterattack is made.

They would be ridiculed instead.

Voices were already saying the True Martial Sect only picks easy targets, ignoring the Demon Sect and Southern Border, but harshly squeezing the Formless Sect and the Inquiring Sword Pavilion. If this matter ended abruptly, it would be detrimental to the True Martial Sect.

Ning Qi was also contemplating.

To resolve it, it must be resolved thoroughly and smoothly.

The Demon Sect and Southern Border were just hard to locate their headquarters, rather than being too afraid to act. If an opportunity arose, Ning Qi would strike thunderously.

But now, the Inquiring Sword Pavilion might serve as a target to establish power.

Recently, he worried that if the Demon Sect and Southern Border combined forces, they might target the True Martial disciples due to suspicions about the previous Southern Border Qing State outpost’s demise. If so, even with Heaven-Reaching abilities, he would be at a loss to handle everything.

The best solution is to make an example out of one to warn others and establish authority.

Demonstrate strong enough power to make the Demon Sect and Southern Border wary.

Ideally, effortlessly.

Currently, this is not sufficient; the Inquiring Sword Pavilion must be made to come forward on their own.

If originally the Inquiring Sword Pavilion had been willing to honestly apologize, Ning Qi might think of other ways, but now that they refuse to act humanely, they shouldn’t blame him for treating the Inquiring Sword Pavilion as the ’chicken’.

Ning Qi slowly spoke: ”Perhaps... we can use overwhelming force.”

Luo Wentian and Taoist Longshan both looked over.

Ning Qi continued: ”The True Martial Sword Monument has been established for some time now. What if we suddenly don’t open it to the public?”

Luo Wentian’s eyes lit up, he reacted quickly: ”During this time, many swordsmen have benefited from our True Martial Sect. They have tasted the sweetness of the True Martial Sword Monument, if suddenly not opened, they will surely go mad.”

Taoist Longshan also smiled.

Luo Wentian continued: ”Jiu, you mean... use the True Martial Sword Monument to force the Inquiring Sword Pavilion to submit?”

Ideas began to flow in his mind. ”Great idea!” ”The Inquiring Sword Pavilion said we misidentified people, so we can justifiably seal the mountain and carefully interrogate spies to prevent them from being rescued. In the meantime, the True Martial Sword Monument won’t be open to the public, and swordsmen will surely become anxious, but that’s not enough, those swordsmen won’t focus on the Inquiring Sword Pavilion.” ”Then we need to manage this operation well, quietly leaking part of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion’s letter back to them. This way, they will know we’re sealing the mountain to interrogate their spies, and the pressure will naturally shift to the Inquiring Sword Pavilion.”

The more he spoke, the more ideas flowed, his eyes filled with gleam. ”These swordsmen’s cultivation is not low. Among them, there are some Celestial Human Realm swordsmen, even one or two from the Celestial Being List have appeared, and many more are Primordial Core Realm swordsmen. Such an uncontrollable force is also something the Inquiring Sword Pavilion must dread.” ”But we must handle it well, making sure these swordsmen don’t feel like we’re using them as pawns, or it might backfire. However, this possibility is small; we only need to guide them well. Many swordsmen around the world have benefited from your True Martial Sword Monument, Jiu, and they know it well. As long as it’s not excessive, most will stand by our side.” ”At that time, swordsmen around the world will form a great force, and the Inquiring Sword Pavilion will have to respond!” ”Either they bow their heads and submit, or they come to True Martial Mountain.”

Luo Wentian’s expression gradually grew serious. ”If we look at the current behavior of the Inquiring Sword Pavilion, it seems unlikely they’ll bow their heads. Most likely, they would come to True Martial Mountain, perhaps even that Heart Inquiry Sword might come...”

He paused, looking at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi merely smiled softly, sipping tea. ”Even better.”

The simple three words brought a spark to Luo Wentian’s spirit. He suddenly understood Ning Qi’s intent; perhaps from the beginning, he never intended to make the Inquiring Sword Pavilion submit, but rather intended to force them to come to True Martial Mountain.

An incredible thought rose in his heart, unable to resist speaking: ”Jiu, are you trying to avoid the hassle of going to the Inquiring Sword Pavilion and that’s why you thought of this method?”
