Chapter 329: 329, [Demon Sect’s Rage]

At the base of the Boundary Monument, the crowd from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain was arguing fiercely.

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi didn’t express many opinions because they had certain speculations in their hearts, and they hoped to confirm them through Lu Xun.

The two of them were also very curious as to whether the Boundary Monument was truly as they had guessed, and whether it contained some residual divine spirit of their ancestor.

It turns out that the art of arguing requires a lot of practice.

As long as you practice diligently, even if you are naturally poor at speaking, you will make some progress.

And the Sword Cultivators from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, right from joining their sects, started their practice through arguments. And after they grew to higher ranks, they argued in a more cultivated and stylish way, truly mastering the art of arguing with a variety of techniques.

They didn’t know who first brought up the term “Ancestor”, then from above the Boundary Monument, a beam of green light shone down!

Everybody dumbfounded in an instant.

What’s going on?

The Boundary Monument is actually responding!

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes—that is, “just as expected”!

The Boundary Monument does indeed contain the residual divine spirit of the ancestor!

Ping Shanhai decisively took a step forward, went straight to the point, firmly adhered to his core thought, and tried to probe in a simple and direct manner: “Ancestor?”

As soon as his words fell, the Boundary Monument immediately shone another beam of green light.

At that moment, everyone from the two Sword Sects was boiling with excitement.

The ancestor is showing his spirit! This is the ancestor showing his spirit!

Although they didn’t know what kind of methods the ancestor had left in the Boundary Monument, it was clear that this incident was related to the ancestor.

Under the leadership of Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi, the crowd respectfully bowed to the Boundary Monument, saying, “Greetings to you, Ancestor!”

This sudden turn of events scared Dida.

Such… loud voices!

Lu Xun said that they should shine a light when they said the word ‘ancestor’ for the third time, and then the green light should slowly fade until disappearing.

But when so many people were chanting together, it was hard to tell which time it was!

Dida’s simple mind was a bit overwhelmed, and all it saw was Lu Xun nodding at it from a distance. It immediately shined a green light again.

This time, the green light shone directly on everyone who was bowing. The light reached everyone alike, as if it was Sword Mountain’s ancestor responding to them!

Some of the high rank members even had their faces turning red from excitement.

Although they were all Great Cultivators who had experienced ups and downs in their lives, this after all, was their ancestor, the person they looked up to in their entire lives!

Unfortunately, this beam of green light was slowly dimming, and then it quickly disappeared.

Since then, the Boundary Monument had not given any more responses.

Looking at this situation, either the method left by the ancestor had completely disappeared, or it had temporarily weakening.

But no matter how you look at it, this matter definitely has something to do with the ancestor!

It’s not that Lu Xun stole our Boundary Monument, the ancestor must have had some deeper intentions.

They got it!

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi dismissed the sound barrier domain, and briskly led the crowd towards Lu Xun.

Watching them, Lu Xun tightened his robe and covered the ears of the little black cat with his right hand. He called out to them in a very gentle voice:

“Leave your questions for later and please lower your voices. Lu Xun appeals to everyone.”

Given his status and generation, when he says something like this the members of the Two Great Sword Sects had to take it to heart.

Ping Shanhai lowered his voice and asked, “Young friend Lu, can you tell us why the Boundary Monument is here?”

Lu Xun shook his head and calmly said, “I don’t know.”

If he had said this at the beginning, no one would have believed him.

But after everything that happened, him saying he didn’t know was more believable.

After all, this was orchestrated by Sword Mountain Ancestor, it must have a deeper meaning.

Such a profound implication, a young cultivator at The Third Realm wouldn’t know; that’s natural.

After all… we have not even figured it out, and can only guess.

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi glanced at the corpse of the foreign beast on the ground, and then recalled the mysterious man who had fled, they felt strange everywhere.

This foreign beast, they’ve never seen, and never seen it in the ancient books, it seemed to appear out of nowhere.

And that mysterious man was also strange, there was an indescribable feeling about him.

Could it be… that the problem does not lie with Lu Xun, but with that foreign beast and the mysterious man!

Something is definitely off about that mysterious man and the foreign beast!

They attacked Lu Xun and others, even directly activated the Boundary Monument, something must be fishy!

So, under Lu Xun’s intentional guidance, the Two Great Sword Sects of the West State turned their attention to the foreign race for the first time.

This has happened much earlier than the original historical trajectory.

Lu Xun said in his heart: “Senior, it is indeed offensive to use the name of the Sword Mountain Elder. I apologize.”

But as he looked at the four large characters of ‘Eternal Glory of Swordsmanship’ written on the Boundary Monument, he felt surprisingly calm inside.

Although he might have caused some offence, it benefited all the Sword Cultivators in the West State.

“If there truly are spirits in the heaven, I wonder if this senior would forgive my actions,” Lu Xun pondered.

Eastern Region, Demon Sect.

Ping Shanhai’s flying sword letter travelled extremely fast and in no time it was delivered to the Demon Sect Main Hall.

In the Demon Sect Main Hall, Shen Yan was discussing with several Peak Masters about the Sect’s internal advancement exams. Receiving the flying sword message, he touched his bald head, wondering what One Sword Mountain could possibly want.

He took the small flying sword and after understanding the situation he stood abruptly from his seat.

As I mentioned before, Shen Yan was extremely ugly and fierce-looking.

His was the kind of face that could easily make people believe he was evil.

People possessing such hideous features, even when doing good deeds, might still leave others feeling suspicious.

At this moment, his face was solemn and ferocious.

“What happened, Sect Master?” asked Luo Wanqiu, who was as beautiful as a young woman.

Without replying, Shen Yan displayed the content of the flying sword message for everyone to see.

Instantly, all the Peak Masters in the hall stood up, not a single one remained sitting.

The junior uncle and the fourth uncle were in danger and injured, they almost lost their lives!

One wave of terrifying aura after another emanated from Shen Yan and the Peak Masters, enveloping the entire Demon Sect.

The force of these combined pressures was suffocating for the ordinary disciples.

All the Demon Sect’s disciples and sand sculpture players were confused and did not know the reason.

“What’s going on? Has something big happened?”

In the main hall, Shen Yan spoke, “I’m going to consult the Master.”

Then, he disappeared.

Not long afterward, Shen Yan reappeared in the main hall.

“Sect Master, what did the Master say?” everyone asked.

Shen Yan looked at them, “Master said, just do as the junior uncle instructed, send someone at Elder Level or above, full authority is granted to his command.”

As soon as his voice fell, Gongshu Pan, with the very dark face, said in a deep voice, “I’ll go.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan nodded.

Gongshu Pan made significant progress in recent years, just like Shen Yan, they both are Great Cultivators at the Eighth Realm.

There would be no problem with his skills.

Secondly, it was most suitable for him to handle these matters given his character.

It’s well known that Gongshu Gong also holds the position of the Law Enforcement Elder of the Demon Sect, and he is a defender and enforcer of the Sect’s rules.

The person that Demon Sect’s disciples fear the most is him. His face isn’t just dark, he’s also impartial and incorruptible.

Only the real senior members of the Demon Sect know why Gongshu holds this position.

The reason is simple, do you remember when you were in school, did the headteacher ever appoint the naughtiest kid in the class as class representative or discipline committee member?

It’s ridiculous to say, but that’s why Gongshu assumed this position.

Under normal circumstances, he is the most rule-abiding person.

But under certain circumstances, he is the one to disregard rules!

This time the Demon Sect is leaving the mountain…

They’re not ready to uphold the rules!

Therefore, Gongshu Pan is indeed the most suitable candidate, and none of the other Peak Masters had any objections.

“Enough talking, I will go!” Gongshu Pan turned into a streak of light, heading swiftly towards the direction of the Lost Forest.

This time he left the mountain, he didn’t bother to take anything special.

The one thing he did bring…

…was the fury of the Demon Sect.
