Chapter 1623: Chapter 1507-1508 – Expecting to See a River of Blood_2

To know that even though the Sword Sect does not have many rules, as long as one’s strength is sufficient, one can do almost anything without prohibition, it doesn’t mean that they can act recklessly and irresponsibly, at least respecting one’s masters and valuing the Taoist way is of utmost importance.

Moreover, if this happened within the Sect, many of the Sect Elders wouldn’t mind, at most they would just laugh it off; but now everyone knows this trial in the Myriad Laws Realm is being broadcasted live, uttering such disrespectful words would cause the Sword Sect to lose face, so how could those old fellows let them off?

Spit spit spit, having spent too much time with the senior sister has started to rub off on me, could those Elders possibly let them off?

And unlike the renowned senior sister who is famous for doing as she pleases without inhibition, couldn’t those Elder uncles deal with her, let alone us juniors?

Even the rationale he could find for himself, following beside the senior sister, knowing full well our sister speaks without restraint and without taboo, if we, her junior brothers and sisters, do not advise her in time, it is our fault.

This reasoning sounds absurd, but it is a fact, and there have been people who were dealt with by those Elder uncles and cousins; as for reasoning, I’m sorry, but within the Sword Sect, strength takes precedence.

Several of the Sword Sect’s Supreme Strong had their gazes meet, their interest waning, hearts filled with endless resentment, but intimidated by the senior sister’s authority, they dared not say any unnecessary words.

After all, immediate supervision trumps distant authority, those Elders, even if they handle us, that would be in the future, but if the senior sister were to deal with us, it would be immediate.

“Who cares about them! Are they even qualified to control this lady?” Jian Wu said, dismissively, or rather, she didn’t even see the gazes of her junior brothers and sisters, and mentioned casually.

Ironically, what disciples of the Sword Sect enjoy most in cultivation is such a pure and unadorned heart, and the entire Taoist School favors disciples with such a spirit the most.

However, the Sword Sect has produced such an anomaly; Jian Wu’s talent is unquestionably outstanding. As a True Immortal Seed of the Sword Sect, she cultivated to the realm of Sword Path Clarity in just over a thousand years, virtually sweeping all junior True Immortals of the Sword Sect, acclaimed as the most talented disciple of the Sword Sect in ten thousand years, and even the Sword Emperor personally tested her, concluding she was not inferior to his past self.

Yet such a disciple, with an unparalleled natural talent in the Sword Path, unfortunately, really does as she pleases without inhibition, speaking without a filter. If she were simply bad-natured, the Sword Sect would have given up on this genius disciple and couldn’t tolerate nurturing a prodigal disciple.

The fact that she only speaks without a filter and acts unpredictably in her dealings, while her acknowledgment and commitment to the Sword Sect are beyond reproach, is undoubtedly worrying for the Elders of the Sword Sect.

But she is their own disciple, and one of such extraordinary talent at that, what can they do but indulge her? Thus, Jian Wu becomes the most unique existence in the Sword Sect, having many privileges that other disciples do not possess, and even True Immortals hold her in high regard.

But with her uniqueness, the other disciples have suffered. Unable to fight back, they can only yield to the senior sister’s whims.

However, following the senior sister’s whims may stir up those Elder uncles, and if they can’t take down the senior sister, what about them?

These disciples are truly between laughter and tears, caught between two fires.

Yet this senior sister is also truly generous; although they have received quite a few punishments because of her, she never forgets to share any benefits with them, her junior brothers and sisters, entangling them in a complex web of love and hate.

“How can you guys be so cowardly?” Jian Wu looked at her junior brothers and sisters with some disappointment.

Looking at this group of junior brothers and sisters shrinking back timidly like quails, she pouted her lips and asked, “Where has the senior brother gone?”

“Senior brother is about to reach Thousand Divine Mountain, leading the other senior brothers and sisters and waiting for us there,” one of the junior sisters said.

Thousand Divine Mountain is not a mountain where a thousand gods reside; here, ‘god’ refers to Divine Abilities. Thousand Divine Mountain is said to contain a thousand kinds of Divine Abilities; you can learn anything you want, for there is no skill that cannot be found.

Within the entire Myriad Laws Realm, Thousand Divine Mountain is also considered one of the few Holy Lands for comprehending the law, where an unknown number of powerful Divine Abilities have been born, including those that have dominated an era.

This time, when the Myriad Laws faction spread the news that there were clues to the Great Law Decree Technique on Thousand Divine Mountain, it also received the belief of many.

Indeed, the location where the Jade Emperor and the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder dueled was far apart, but let’s not forget that the two who fought are True Immortals; distance is not an issue for them. If they wish, they can easily hide this thing anywhere in the Myriad Laws Realm.

Thus, in a situation where everyone is clueless, there are deep ties to the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, and some even say that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s actions were orchestrated by the Shenxiao Lineage behind the scenes. Now, with a strong figure from the Shenxiao Sect stepping forward claiming they have news of the Great Law Decree Technique, if you were in their shoes, would you believe it or not?

“I definitely don’t believe that the Shenxiao Sect has news of the Great Law Decree Technique,” Jian Wu confidently shook her head, not believing the rumors spread outside at all.

Seeing the puzzled expressions brought by her junior brothers and sisters, she smiled and said: “Are you all being silly? Remember, the one who originally prevented the Jade Emperor from seizing the Great Law Decree Technique was the Shenxiao Lineage…”

“Sister, be careful with your words!” a junior brother’s face changed greatly, who, regardless of the authority of the senior sister, hurriedly interrupted.

You can eat indiscriminately, but you can’t talk recklessly; it was the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder who originally prevented the Jade Emperor from seizing the Great Law Decree Technique. Even if everyone knows that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was backed by the Shenxiao Lineage.

But as long as the Jade Emperor does not mention it and the Shenxiao Lineage does not come forward, then this person will only be the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, no one else, no other force.

Many things may only weigh four taels off the scale, but once put on the scale, they may be too heavy to withstand even a thousand pounds.

Since everyone now says it was the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder who stopped the Jade Emperor, even the Jade Emperor himself is so certain, then who dares to deny it, who dares to expose it, it would be like slapping the Jade Emperor’s face and pinning a dark mark on the Shenxiao Lineage.

If offending the Jade Emperor is one thing, with the presence of the Sword Emperor, even unsatisfied, the Jade Emperor can only act against it in private. But making the Shenxiao Lineage unhappy could become a big problem.

Moreover, it’s not just about the Jade Emperor and Shenxiao Lineage, but it also concerns the entire celestial order. If this matter isn’t exposed, it’s one thing, but if it is, even the superficial balance cannot be maintained.

The implications of this matter are too vast. Not to mention that Jian Wu is a True Immortal Seed favored by the Sword Emperor from the Sword Sect, even a True Immortal of the Sword Sect might not be able to shoulder it.

A straightforward heart may be candid, but it is not foolish.

Stopped by her fellow Sect disciple and reminded, Jian Wu also realized that she had almost misspoken, and she quickly shook her head explaining: “What I mean is, if you’re going to seize the Great Law Decree Technique and have accurate information, just seize it directly, why make it so widely known?”

Logically speaking, if they truly wanted to prevent the Jade Emperor from seizing the Great Law Decree Technique and according to the original method, if they did not want to confront the Jade Emperor directly and wished to maintain a stable situation, all they had to do was take away the Great Law Decree Technique in advance, there was no need for such grandstanding.

On the contrary, such grandstanding, in Jian Wu’s view, was a mere bluff, a deliberate ploy to attract the Jade Emperor Lineage.

“It is better to believe it and not need it than to not believe it and need it. If it’s false then so be it, but if it’s true, it would be a huge mistake for those people,” a junior brother said with a wry smile shaking his head.

Each family has its own difficulties, and the structure of the Jade Emperor Lineage means they are responsible upward, without much freedom. Once they make a mistake, the responsibility they bear far exceeds that of ordinary Sect disciples.

Therefore, this scheme by Myriad Laws faction has seized the Achilles’ heel of the Jade Emperor Lineage, forcing them to comply, even knowing it’s a trap, they still have to probe.
