Chapter 123: There’s Credence Behind His Title

Young master, we need to rush to the Profound Saber Sect, or else Yuan Zhuang anxiously told Fang Chen with a suppressed voice.

What are you worried about? Fang Chen chuckled. Are you worried they would stomp the Profound Sword Sect?

Yuan Zhuang nodded.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The Profound Saber Sect had been encircled by many sects, and his cousin, Yuan Yu, was trapped in there. Even Jue Panshi, a Valiant Defenders chiliarc, couldnt intimidate them. If they really stomped the Profound Saber Sect, all of them would be goners.

Their encirclement of the Profound Saber Sect merely symbolizes their stance. Why else do you think youre able to escape and deliver the message to me? Even Huangfu Jie wouldnt have been able to flee from the mountain alive if the Greatsword Gate really intended to raid the Profound Saber Sect, let alone you. Fang Chen pointed out with a smile.

Are you saying Yuan Zhuang gasped. Fang Chens words had enlightened him to the reality of the situation. Shit! I thought the pugilistic world is supposed to be more straightforward, but it turns out to be just as scheming as the imperial court!

The Greatsword Gates sudden move was likely related to the South Immortal Commanderys purging of the minor sect. That move might have threatened the interests of some, so they went ahead with this encirclement.

Their goal was not to have a fall out with the imperial court but to make a clear stance.

Having thought things through, Yuan Zhuang wasnt that anxious anymore.

Hours later, the crowd arrived at a bustling town. Beyond this town was a towering mountain, and that was where the Profound Saber Sect was located.

This town was not usually this crowded, but the martial artists from the Nine Commanderies had rushed here after receiving the Greatsword Sects invitation. As a result, armed martial artists could be spotted strutting around the town here and there.

Most of these martial artists were at Ki Refinement, making them small fry in the pugilistic world. There were also some reputable Ki Explosion martial artists among them, and they were clearly treated with respect.

Oh? Those people appear to be from distinguished backgrounds.

Thats the Bear Mountain Sword Sects Zhong Ying. She reached Ki Explosion at a young age. Her Bear Mountain Sword can easily curb the two of us together.

Ah, its a disciple of the Bear Mountain Sword Sect! Now that the Heavensword Mountain Villa has fallen, the Bear Mountain Sword Sect is likely to join the ranks of the Four Great Sects

Heh I dont think the Profound Saber Sect will last long either. The Bear Mountain Sword Sect will take one of the slots, but I wonder who will claim the other seat.

Such discussions could be heard from the crowd. There were occasional fearful glances directed at Zhong Ying.

Junior Zhong Ying, youre finally here!

A group of white-robed people carrying massive swords on their backs suddenly approached them. The person leading the group was a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties.

They were disciples of the Greatsword Gate!

Come, Ill take you up the mountain, Xian Kun said.

With Greatsword Gates disciples opening up the path, the group was able to pass through the crowded street with greater ease.

Young master Li, its best for you not to scale the mountain now. Why dont you take a stroll in the town instead? Zhong Ying turned around and suggested.

Theres no reason for my young master to stay at the foot of the mountain when hes already here. Its rare for something this huge to happen in the southern regions pugilistic world. The least we should do is to take a look, Yuan Zhuang replied on Fang Chens behalf.

Xian Kun turned around and sneered, Youre here to watch our commotion? Do you really think that you northerners are superior to us?

Im also a Ki Explosion martial artist. Do you have a problem with that? Yuan Zhuang replied with a deeper, more menacing voice.

Ki Explosion martial artist?

Xian Kun was surprised. He carefully assessed Yuan Zhuang once more before softly chuckling. He didnt say anything else afterward.

Zhong Ying thought about it, and it didnt seem inappropriate for her to bring Fang Chen up the mountain. The latter had a Ki Explosion martial artist as a guard, after all. They had the means to protect themselves. Thus, she decided not to bother dissuading them anymore.

The road up the mountain was filled with martial artists.

It took the group an hour before they arrived before the entrance of the Profound Saber Sect.

There was already a large crowd gathered there by the time they arrived. There were many tents in the surroundings, a sign that they were determined to hold the encirclement and trap the Profound Saber Sects members.

Of them, the Greatsword Sects martial artists stood out the most. They had a few hundred disciples gathered in the area, and they strutted around with an air of loftiness.

Accompanying them were the other first-rate sects, such as the Bear Mountain Sword Sect.

The other second-rate, third-rate sects, and unaffiliated martial artists lingered at the outer perimeter.

All in all, there were at least 7000 to 8000 people gathered here. Despite not being a trained army, their martial art prowess was more than enough to threaten an elite army of 10,000 men. The Profound Saber Sect wouldnt stand a chance if they chose to slaughter their way in!

Huangfu Jie was crossing blows with a Ki Control martial artist at the Profound Saber Sects entrance. Seven sharp sabers could be seen revolving around him through the manipulation of his inner ki. These sharp sabers wielded terrifying might, and they could unleash attacks from challenging trajectories.

His opponent was a Ki Control martial artist who appeared to be in his sixties. This martial artists aura paled in comparison to Huangfu Jie, but he was one of the more outstanding martial artists in the southern region. Yet, he was being suppressed, unable to fight back at all.

Zhong Ying and her group rushed to the Bear Mountain Sword Sects camp.

Their sect masters face was pale. He massaged his chest while observing the ongoing battle and murmuring, Huangfu Jie has grasped the powerful Seven Profound Sabers despite only being in his twenties. As expected of the number one expert of our southern region. He lives up to his reputation
