Chapter 120 Divine Sword Sect, the Second Strongest in the World
After a long while, Lin Hanzhou, who was sitting cross-legged, exhaled a long breath and slowly regained his composure.
"Alright."
"If everything went smoothly, it would be far too boring."
His eyes showed no fear whatsoever, but rather a fierce fighting spirit unlike anything he had ever felt before.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.
All he can do is keep getting stronger.
Ultimately, he was still not strong enough, which is why he was wary of the mastermind behind it all.
He closed his eyes again, completely entering the deepest level of cultivation.
……...............
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
If this were in the United States in my previous life, it would have been enough for them to have two presidents.
These days, Lin Hanzhou has been in seclusion within the forbidden area of the Ice Soul Sword Sect.
He didn't even leave the main hall.
For him, time is life itself.
He needs to seize every minute and every second to cultivate and improve himself.
Every slight improvement in his cultivation level, and indeed in any technique he mastered,
He will have a better chance of dealing with the subsequent series of terrifying crises.
……..............
Sword Soul Continent, a rich and vast eastern continent.
Divine Sword Sect.
This is the Sword Soul Continent, one of the four major sects, with a history spanning tens of thousands of years and an extremely profound foundation.
Because of the formidable strength of its sect's patriarch, the Divine Sword Sect is also the leader of the four major sects.
The entire Divine Sword Sect is situated atop the continuous Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range.
Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, in the ancient times, there was a supreme divine sword powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth, which fell from the sky and landed here.
The divine sword shattered, transforming into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles.
As a result, this mountain range is permeated with an invisible, sharp sword aura all year round.
Ordinary creatures that dare to approach this place will be shredded into a cloud of blood mist by the omnipresent sword energy.
The main hall of the Divine Sword Sect was built on the summit of the highest peak of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range—Heavenly Sword Peak.
Inside the main hall.
A middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe with golden dragon patterns, possessing a face as if sculpted by a knife and axe, exuding majesty and domineering presence.
He was glaring angrily at the Sword Master Aoki below, who had a bitter smile on his face.
This middle-aged man is the current leader of the "Sword Master Alliance," and also the patriarch of the Divine Sword Sect.
He was also recognized as the second strongest person in the world during this era, second only to "Silver Sword Master" Luo Ande.
Qin Zhe, a terrifying being at the sixth level of the Sword Master realm.
"ten years!"
Qin Zhe's voice was like two divine swords rubbing against each other, full of piercing killing intent.
"It's been a full ten years. Do you know how I've spent these ten years?"
"That newly promoted sword master, Zhou He, not only didn't join our sword master alliance, but he also dared to refuse my personal invitation time and time again."
"Does he even respect me, Qin Zhe?"
"Do they even respect us, the entire Sword Master Alliance?!"
Faced with Qin Zhe's overwhelming rage, which seemed to threaten to overturn the entire hall, the Green Wood Sword Master had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to calm the other's anger.
"Calm down, Alliance Leader, calm down."
"That fellow Daoist Zhou He might indeed be in seclusion, consolidating his cultivation level..."
"Seclusion? Hah!"
Qin Zhe let out a cold laugh.
"What kind of seclusion could someone who just broke through to the first level of Sword Master possibly have?"
"It's nothing more than a lame excuse. They think they're invincible just because they've broken through to the Sword Master level. They're really ignorant of their own limitations."
Sword Master Qingmu sighed deeply in his heart, feeling somewhat helpless.
He knew that if he returned and reported this news, the leader would be furious.
Ugh……
The Sword Master of Green Wood silently mourned for three seconds in his heart for Zhou He, whom he had only met a few times.
Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Zhou...
Why are you so stubborn?
I've already given you that hint.
The leader of the Sword Master Alliance, Qin Zhe, is a sixth-level Sword Master and the second strongest person in the world.
You dare to refuse a personal invitation from the second strongest person in the world?
Isn't this like an old man hanging himself—wanting to die?
Just as the Sword Master of Green Wood sighed in despair.
Qin Zhe above seemed to have vented his anger.
He reverted to his dignified and domineering demeanor, and impatiently waved his hand at the Sword Master of Green Wood.
"You can leave now."
"I will deal with this arrogant fool in the same way I have always done."
Hearing the phrase "the usual way"...
A barely perceptible hint of fear flashed in the cloudy old eyes of the Sword Master of Green Wood.
He seemed to realize something.
But in the end, he didn't say another word; he simply turned and left silently.
……......
After the Sword Master Aoki left.
Qin Zhe took out a golden communication token from his pocket, which shimmered with a strange light.
He infused his soul power into it, connecting with the other two sword masters in the Sword Master Alliance.
"Enchanting Soul, Shadowless Blade".
"Alliance Leader, what are your orders?"
From the other end of the token came two voices, one male and one female.
"You've all heard of Zhou He, the newly crowned Sword Master from the Northern Region, right?"
"I've heard a bit about it. It's said that the other party refused the Sword Master Alliance's offer of recruitment and also refused your invitation, Alliance Leader. He's simply an arrogant fool who doesn't know his own limitations."
"That's right, it's him."
A cold killing intent flashed in Qin Zhe's eyes.
"I now order the two of you to proceed to the Northern Region immediately."
"Soul Charm".
He gave the order to the alluring female voice among them.
"Your soul manipulation techniques are the most bizarre and powerful. I need you to completely control Zhou He."
"Then, let him fuse with that self-destructing crystal we obtained from the ancient ruins."
"This can be considered as letting him make the last bit of value he has left."
"Yes, Alliance Leader."
"Shadowless".
He then spoke to another male voice.
"Your speed is exceptional even among sword masters. Your task is to prevent that guy from escaping."
"I need you to step in and stop it at the crucial moment."
"clear."
The two agreed almost without thinking.
For them, controlling a newly promoted sword master was practically an easy achievement.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhe transmitted some general information about Lin Hanzhou to the two of them via a token.
After doing all this, Qin Zhe's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cruel and disdainful smile.
He seemed to have already foreseen the miserable end that the newly promoted sword master, who dared to disrespect him, would ultimately meet.
As the second strongest person in the world on the Sword Soul Continent, no sword master dares to disrespect him.
This newly promoted sword master is undoubtedly the best candidate to establish his authority.
