My Master Knows It All

408: Chapter 165 I Wasn’t Boasting, Right?_1 408: Chapter 165 I Wasn’t Boasting, Right?_1 In the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, every once in a while, people from various Immortal Sects would send out Disciples to engage in philosophical debates with other Sects.

Essentially, it was a chance to showcase their abilities, to let others know the depth of their heritage.

Normally, there would still be some time before the next debate, but due to the upcoming Qiankun small epoch, it had been moved up.

Among the Disciples universally acknowledged as unbeatable in debates, there was Wu Jianzi from the Sword Sect.

“The Swordsmanship of the World emanates from the Sword Sect,” is more than just an empty phrase.

“Cao Zhen says he once defeated Wu Jianzi?

That’s laughable,”

“Have you ever heard of a Disciple from the Sword Sect losing a debate when they descend the mountain?”

“No, I haven’t.

But I haven’t been in the Sect for long, so maybe I just haven’t heard.”

“You don’t need to have been here long.

I’ve read records, and in the last ten thousand years, Disciples from the Sword Sect have never lost a single debate when they went out!”

“So Cao Zhen can win against Wu Jianzi and even make him admit defeat?

I can’t believe he’d say such a thing.”

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, a figure approached from a distance.

“Wu Jianzi!”

“Strange, why do I feel Wu Jianzi seems a bit different than before?”

“His aura, his momentum, it seems to have undergone some changes.”

Cao Zhen watched from afar as Wu Jianzi came closer and closer, feeling that compared to the last time, Wu Jianzi had become even more restrained.

The Wu Jianzi of the past, even when showing the style of the Sword Sect’s Disciples externally, though he had also been quite contained, one could still sense the sharp aura that exuded from him.

Even those who did not recognize him could tell he was an expert at using the sword.

But now, looking at Wu Jianzi again, it seemed as if the sharp sword’s edge had been fully withdrawn.

If one did not know him, it would be impossible to discern from his aura that he was a master swordsman.

So, did he improve further after an Enlightenment?

Many Disciples from the Thousand Caves Door, some of whom had debated with Wu Jianzi before, saw him coming and, as Disciples of the Thousand Caves Door, naturally hurried to greet him.

“Dao Companion Wu Jianzi, why have you suddenly come to our Thousand Caves Door?”

One Disciple asked this while also glancing in the direction of Cao Zhen, weren’t you just saying that you defeated Wu Jianzi?

You didn’t expect that, now, Wu Jianzi would come again.

Let’s see how you deal with this!

Wu Jianzi looked up at the person before him, unrecognizable to him, leaving no impression.

However, as a successor of the Sword Sect, he maintained polite decorum and replied, “I have come this time to find Senior Cao.”

“Senior Cao?”

Beside them, a few others were slightly stunned.

Could that Senior Cao be Cao Zhen?

And Wu Jianzi calling him “Senior”…

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wu Jianzi quickly approached Cao Zhen, raised his hand, and performed a salute, “Senior Cao, the Disciple’s debate has concluded.

I went to the Hundred Peaks Sect after hearing that you had left, and since you are now at the Thousand Caves Door, the Disciple hurried over.”

Surrounding members of the Thousand Caves Door listened to Wu Jianzi’s words, all standing dumbfounded in place.

Wu Jianzi came to find Cao Zhen?

Moreover, he had first gone to the Hundred Peaks Sect, and upon not finding Cao Zhen there, he specifically hurried to the Thousand Caves Door.

What is Cao Zhen’s relationship with him that would make him travel so urgently?

The distance from the Hundred Peaks Sect to the Thousand Caves Door is no short journey!

And what did Wu Jianzi call Cao Zhen?

He kept addressing Cao Zhen as “you”!

Cao Zhen, could what you said before actually be true?

Cao Zhen himself was momentarily stunned by Wu Jianzi’s words, as he had simply been polite before, and yet Wu Jianzi truly went to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

He went to the Hundred Peaks Sect, and even ran over here to find him.

After a brief moment of surprise, he suddenly came to a realization.

Wu Jianzi also hailed from a prominent and righteous Sect.

If this was before he left the Hundred Peaks Sect, he might not understand.

But after leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect, after meeting Elder Shadowless, seeing three from the Dharma Apex Sect, and after witnessing the perseverance of the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect and their sacrifices for the sake of their Sect.

He had come to realize that the noble and righteous Sects here truly lived up to their name.

They might all have their own pride and sometimes exhibit inadequacies, such as believing themselves to be above ordinary people.

But as noble and righteous Sects, they must honor their promises.

If he had promised to go to Four Treasures Peak to find him, he would certainly go; even if he wasn’t on Four Treasures Peak, he would find his way to the Thousand Caves Door!

Lan Pili, listening to the conversation between the two, was completely stunned.

He knew that Cao Zhen had won over Wu Jianzi, but he didn’t know that Wu Jianzi took Cao Zhen so seriously.

After Wu Jianzi finished speaking, he looked at the many surrounding Disciples of the Thousand Caves Door with some curiosity and asked, “Senior Cao, what are you doing here…?”

Lan Pili, hearing this, was immediately delighted within.

He had just been about to say that the people of the Thousand Caves Door did not believe Cao Zhen had won against Wu Jianzi, but after all, Wu Jianzi had lost to Cao Zhen, and it would not be proper for him to directly address it.

Now that Wu Jianzi had brought it up, it was easier to discuss.

He didn’t wait for Cao Zhen to answer, but interjected, “Peak Master Cao is currently discussing Sword Dao with the people of the Thousand Caves Door.

Moreover, they don’t think Peak Master Cao’s Sword Dao is up to par.”

“Senior Cao’s Sword Dao is lacking?

Who dares say such a thing!” Wu Jianzi’s entire demeanor changed dramatically in an instant.

Previously restrained and hardly revealing any edge, his sharp aura suddenly burst forth!

Just in that moment, a cutting energy emanated from his body, the sharp aura stirring the heavens and the earth.
