The First Volume of Divine Land: Chapter 165 - The Ancestral Master's Fury (Part 1)

  Since the two characters 'Wan Chuan' were not recently engraved, but have been engraved for many years, then this sword cannot be fake.

  Proving what Xuan Tian said is true, every word is indeed so.

  Wu Zhenkun's face turned icy, his sleeves fluttering as a powerful aura burst forth. His voice was laced with killing intent: "The one who slaughtered our fellow disciples is Deng Fei! He knew that Huang Tian was the genius disciple of our sect, the future pillar of our sect, yet he still dared to lay this poisonous hand, severing the future of our sect and digging its grave. Deng Fei's death will be a just punishment!"

  As he spoke, Wu Zhenkun's gaze fell on Xuan Tian, saying: "Huang Tian killed Deng Fei, it was a matter of cause and effect, a natural consequence. Although he didn't ask for permission from the sect, it was an emergency situation, so it can be excused. Moreover, Huang Tian retrieved the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' for our sect, achieving great merit. As a reward, he will receive 5 million points of contribution value, and his name will be recorded in the Merit Board of the Wuji Pavilion, to be passed down forever."

  Not just the inner door disciples, but even the elder of the inner door, were shocked on their faces, looking at Xuantian with an envious expression.

  A reward of 5 million merit points, for the value of 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method', is not considered high, and can even be said to be very low. However, having one's name recorded on the Meritorious Deeds Board in the Martial Techniques Pavilion, to be passed down through the ages, is a truly rare honor.

  Those who can be ranked on the Merit List of the Wuji Pavilion are all the ancestors of the Tianjian Sect at the time of its founding. Later generations, only by bringing back extremely important martial arts secrets to the sect, can they be honored on the Merit List of the Wuji Pavilion.

  But later generations are all learning from the kung fu techniques left behind by their predecessors, and some important martial arts secrets are not so easily obtained. Those who can get their names on the Merit List in a hundred years, it's hard to come up with two or three.

  Being able to put one's name on the Merit List of the Martial Arts Hall is the wish of every inner sect elder, and looking at Xuan Tian, it's only natural to feel envious.

  Xuantian heard this and immediately pulled out a book from his bosom. This was the "Jueying Heart Method" that he had written down according to his memory on his way back to his sect. He handed it over to Wu Zhongkun: "The 'Jueying Heart Method' that my disciple saw was engraved on the stone wall and couldn't be brought back, so I had to copy it down. Elder Wu, please take a look."

  Jueying Swordsmanship is a special sword technique, Jueying Heart Method, which is not a cultivation method. It differs from ordinary sword techniques and is not restricted by physical attributes, but its speed is extremely fast and it's very deadly. Even after a hundred years, the reputation of 'One Sword to End Life' Zhu Wuying still circulates in the Divine Knife Dynasty.

  It was for this reason that Xuan Tian obtained the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method', which was even more important than obtaining other top-grade Xuan-level cultivation methods, and he could be listed on the Merit Board of the Wuji Pavilion.

  According to the Tianjian Sect's rules, only those who have obtained two or more Xuanjie superior martial skills and techniques for the sect can be listed on the Merit List of the Martial Skills Pavilion.

  "'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' has no physical attribute restrictions, anyone can cultivate it, only the height of enlightenment and achievement are related. The Tianjian Sect obtained the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Method', everyone can cultivate it, and the overall strength will have a major boost."

  No one dares to underestimate the power of 'Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship'.

  Wu Zhenkun took over the "Jueying Heart Method", flipped through a few pages, nodded and said: "Hmm, indeed true. Huang Tian, I represent Wuji Pavilion to thank you."

  Xuantian Dao said: "Elder Wu's words are weighty, I dare not accept them."

  In an instant, the hearts of all disciples and elders changed, Xuan Tian transformed from a murderer who killed his fellow disciple to a meritorious hero who made great contributions to the sect, his image underwent a one hundred and eighty degree turn.

  All the disciples looked at Xuan Tian's gaze, and they couldn't help but admire him, even worship him.

  The eyes of the elders in the inner courtyard also revealed a hint of envy.

  Wu Zhenkun put away the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' and walked to Deng Fei's side, saying loudly: "Deng Fei is guilty of death, I will personally judge him, thoroughly investigate his accomplices, his family, and I will also personally visit their doorstep. If anyone dares to move against our sect's talented disciple, they will suffer extremely severe consequences. Take Deng Fei away, Huang Tian, you come too."

  "Wait a minute......!"

  Chu Zhanfan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke out in a loud voice: "As for Huang Tian's killing of Deng Fei, since there was a reason for it beforehand, that's one thing. But he injured my son Chu Feng, and must follow me back to the Punishment Hall to receive punishment."

  "Wu Zhenkun said: 'The younger generation of disciples are competing, winning and losing is a common thing. If they can't control their hands for a moment, it's hard to avoid injury. Chu Shidi, even if he hurt Chu Feng, there is some fault, but Huang Tian brought back the "Absolute Shadow Heart Method" for our sect, which is a great merit. Can't this great merit make up for these small faults?'"

  "A minor mistake? Maple is covered in scars all over her body and has fainted, and this is still a minor mistake? It's clear that you intentionally hurt her."

  "Chu War's voice grew colder as he spoke: 'Wu Shixiong, don't be too biased. I don't care what merits he has, if he broke the sect rules, he must accept punishment. As the head of the Punishment Hall, I uphold justice and fairness, with punishment comes penalty. Huang Tian, will you surrender willingly and go to the Punishment Hall to confess, or do I need to take action and bring you there myself?'"

  As they spoke, Chu Zhanfan's gaze shot towards Xuan Tian, like a sharp blade cutting through the air, its edge gleaming with menace.

  Xuān Tiān met Chu Zhàn Fán's gaze, like a needle tip against a wheat awn, his momentum was not weak in the slightest. He said: "Elder Chu, who broke the sect rules? Don't spout nonsense."

  Xuān Tiān won't intentionally go looking for trouble, but if trouble comes knocking on his door, he's not afraid either. With Líng Yì Chén as his backing, he has the confidence to take it on.

  Not to mention Chu Wu Fan in front of him, even if it was the Sect Master of Tianjian Sect, Xuan Tian would not have shown any signs of weakness.

  Xuan Tian was not affected by his majesty and aura, not intimidated at all. Chu Zhan's anger in his heart grew stronger, shouting: "You scoundrel, how dare you shout loudly in front of me!"

  Xuantian's voice was not small, but it was absolutely not as loud as Chu Zhanfan's. He said calmly: "There are so many inner door elders and disciples present, who is shouting loudly? They all see clearly and hear clearly. Wu Changlao, are you treating everyone as blind and deaf? I fought with Chufeng, and everyone saw it clearly. It was Chufeng who took the initiative to provoke me and attack me. I was attacked by him for dozens of moves before I was forced to counterattack. However, Chufeng's strength was too weak, and I didn't expect that after I counterattacked, he would become like this in just three punches and two kicks. At that time, the battle was intense, and for a moment, I couldn't hold back my hands. If Chufeng wasn't so weak, he could have supported two more moves under my hands and wouldn't have lost so quickly and miserably."

  In the mouth of Xuan Tian, Chu Feng was simply too weak, like a soft persimmon, you can squeeze it into any shape you want. Chu Wu Fan's anger grew as he listened, his chest heaving constantly, he was about to explode in rage. "You dare to quibble, you scoundrel!"

  Xuan Tian's gaze swept across the inner disciples, his voice loud and clear: "Fellow junior brothers, you all just witnessed it with your own eyes, didn't Chu Feng take the initiative to attack me?"

  The crows and sparrows around were silent, all the inner door disciples felt a huge mountain pressing on their hearts at this moment, who dared to speak?

  "Is it?" Wu Zhenkun shouted loudly.

  As the first elder of the Wuji Pavilion, Wu Zhenkun ranked second only to the Grand Elder and above Chu Zhanfan. As soon as he spoke, the inner disciples felt the pressure of Chu Zhanfan's aura and relaxed a lot, not daring to disobey. At least two-thirds of the inner disciples responded in unison: "Yes!"

  Xuantian continued to ask: "When Chufeng made a move against me, wasn't I always on the defensive until Chufeng stabbed at me with dozens of swords before I had no choice but to counterattack?"

  You Wu Zhen Kun's words just now still have a powerful momentum, and most of the inner door disciples replied: "Yes!"

  Xuantian Dao: "Wasn't it just one or two moves before Chu Feng fell and suffered serious injuries?"

  "Yes!" More inner disciples shouted.

  Xuantian looked at Chu Zhanfan and shrugged, saying: "Elder Chu, did you hear that clearly this time? If it weren't for Chu Feng thinking he's a genius and wanting to fight me, I wouldn't have even considered him. How could I possibly take him seriously? If it weren't for Chu Feng constantly attacking me with the 'Night Falling Star River Sword' technique, using the powerful move 'Shooting Star Speed', striking at me dozens of times in a row, I would've had no choice but to counterattack. If Chu Feng wasn't so weak and fragile, how could he have been severely injured by just one or two moves from me? Unfortunately, Chu Feng is too useless. If only he were a bit stronger, he could've held on until you arrived to enforce the sect's rules. As the head of the Punishment Hall, you wouldn't have let personal feelings cloud your judgment and would've taken Chu Feng back to face punishment. That would've been much better than him suffering at my hands like this. Even with strict sect rules, it's impossible for Chu Feng to be punished in such a way."

  Looking at Xuan Tian, all the inner door elders thought: What a sharp tongue.

  Although Xuan Tian spoke reasonably, Chu Zhan Fan became angrier the more he listened, his heart stifling a mouthful of air that was about to burst out. Finally, in a fit of rage, he let out a loud roar: "This seat will kill this glib-tongued little brat."

  Chu War Fan's anger erupted like a raging male lion, charging towards Xuan Tian.

  A condensed and substantial sword aura suddenly shot out from the midst of the journey, swiftly slashing down towards Xuan Tian.

  Plop!

  The air on top of Xuanyuan's head split in two, and with just a burst of sword energy, the air was cut in half.

  Just as Wu Zhenkun was about to intervene, a voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Chu, calm down."

  A white figure flashed over, appearing instantly beside Xuan Tian. With a wave of his hand, a sword aura burst forth from his palm and shot upwards, slashing towards the sky.

  Clang!

  A loud crash, Chu Wu's sword edge suddenly collapsed, his body instantly retreated, and he took eight or nine steps back before stabilizing himself.

  Xuantian looked over and saw an old man in white standing beside him, nearly seventy years old. The sword's edge was retracted, it was a soft sword, shot into his sleeve.

  "Great Elder." All of the inner sect elders simultaneously saluted the white-robed elder with a cupped fist.

  It turned out that this white-robed old man was actually White Sword Snow, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, whose status was even higher than Wu Zhenkun and Chu Zhanfan. No wonder he could retreat Chu Zhanfan eight or nine steps with just one sword, his cultivation had probably reached the tenth level of the Pre-Heavenly realm.

  Bai Jianxue's aura was like a midnight snowfall, and as he stood there, an atmosphere of quiet coldness emerged.

  Bai Jianxue's gaze fell on Chu Zhanfan, saying: "Ling Shixiong has an order, today's matter will be settled here."
