Chapter 912: If They’re Not One of Us, They’re Enemies!
Only the seven ancient clans and the Witchcraft Sect came to congratulate the Sword Sect during their reformation ceremony.
Not only was the outside world shocked by this outcome, even the members of the Sword Sect did not expect that.
Within the Sword Sect, Luo Tianya ordered his men to hand over a generous gift. Then, he cupped his fists and said to Elder Qing Xuan, Ye Wushuang, and the rest, “The Luo clan presents ten stalks of thousand-year-old herbs. We wish the Ninth Peak to last forever in Kunlun Ruins!”
Elder Qing Xuan and the rest were all shocked by those words.
The thousand-year-old herb was considered a rare item even in the Kunlun Ruins. Who would have thought that the Luo clan would give out ten stalks at once!
Tang Yiming from the Tang clan said, “The Tang clan has offered 1,000 catties of Golden Crystals and 500 catties of Mysterious Yin Sand. We wish the Ninth Peak a long and prosperous future!”
“The Xiang clan offered a piece of thousand-year-old Frost Metal…”
“The Ying clan…”
In an instant, the seven ancient clans and the Witchcraft Sect offered congratulatory gifts one after another. Elder Qing Xuan and the rest expressed their gratitude.
As if sensing that there were not many people coming to congratulate them, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Luo Shuiyao, who was behind Luo Tianya, took two steps forward and stood before Ye Wushuang. Her beautiful eyes sized him up, “Are you Ye Wushuang?”
Ye Wushuang nodded slightly.
Luo Shuiyao sized him up and chattered non-stop, “Tsk tsk, you’re really handsome. You’re just like the rumors say!”
Ye Wushuang was already used to this.
Only the junior sister, Hua Ling, went up to stop her with great caution. She said with an unfriendly gaze, “Speak properly. Don’t look at junior brother in a lecherous manner.”
“I’m lecherous?”
Luo Shuiyao was instantly speechless. After looking at her slyly for a few seconds, she immediately reacted, “Someone is jealous!”
Hua Ling blushed, “Who’s jealous?”
“Don’t worry!”
Luo Shuiyao patted her shoulder, “I won’t fight with you over your Youngest Junior Brother. He’s not my type!”
The lady was so angry that her body was shaking.
“Yaoyao!”
Luo Tianya immediately berated him before he stepped forward and cupped his fists at Ye Wushuang, “Luo Tianya greets you, Brother Wushuang. I’ve long heard of you. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation.”
His words were not flattery, but came from the bottom of his heart. In close contact with Ye Wushuang, the energy in his body could not help but vibrate.
It meant that Ye Wushuang was probably more powerful than him.
Luo Tianya asked once more, “Why don’t I see Brother Ye?”
“Yeah, where’s Ye Chen?”
Luo Shuiyao came to her senses as well, “I’ve been here for half a day. Why haven’t I seen him? Could he have hidden himself?”
“The peak master is in closed-door cultivation…”
Elder Qing Xuan smiled. Before he could finish speaking, the Ninth Peak suddenly shook violently.
At the next moment, in the sky all around, there was a thunderous boom. The elemental energy within heaven and earth surged violently.
A colorful glow shot out from the Ninth Peak.
In the end, Ye Chen appeared.
The Witchcraft Sect’s sect master and the other leaders knelt on one knee, “Greetings, master!”
At the same time, they were shocked.
Their instincts told them that Ye Chen seemed to have become powerful again!
“Greetings, peak master!”
Elder Qing Xuan and the others took the lead and cupped their fists. In an instant, all the disciples in the Sword Sect knelt on one knee.
“Everyone, please rise!”
Ye Chen looked at Luo Tianya and the rest and said with a smile, “Thank you all for coming to celebrate my Sword Sect’s name change.”
“Peak Master Ye is too polite. I wouldn’t dare…”
Luo Tianya and the others shook their heads.
Ye Chen smiled lightly as he scanned the crowd. He took a deep breath and said, “From today onwards, the Sword Sect will officially be renamed as the Ninth Peak. I’ll be the temporary peak master…”
“Wait!”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted. Then, an old man walked out from the crowd.
The old man said hesitantly, “Immortal Ye, I’m an elder of the First Peak. I hope you’ll allow me to withdraw from the Sword Sect today!”
The crowd fell silent.
No one had imagined that someone would actually choose to withdraw on the day the Sword Sect changed its name.
“Elder Chen, how dare you?!” Elder Qing Xuan was furious.
Ye Chen looked at Elder Chen calmly and smiled lightly, “Give me a reason!”
Elder Chen was clearly a little scared of his might, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “Immortal Ye offended the seven high sects, which is equivalent to making Kunlun Ruins your enemy. I don’t want to die with you!”
The moment that was said, killing intent gradually emerged from Ye Wushuang’s body.
Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him. He scanned the crowd, “Anyone else wants to leave the Ninth Peak?”
“Me too!”
Another old man took a step forward and forced himself to say, “I am an elder from the Eighth Peak, and I also wish to leave the Ninth Peak!”
“Me too!”
“…”
With the two of them leading the way, over 20 Pseudo Emperor Stage elders stepped forward successively. All of them wanted to leave the Sword Sect.
Seeing that there were so many people supporting him, Elder Chen’s confidence soared, “Immortal Ye, we don’t want to be your enemy, nor do we dare. We just want to seek a way out. You won’t forbid us, right?”
“No, of course not!”
Ye Chen’s expression remained the same. He shook his head lightly and said, “You guys can leave now. I’ve approved it!”
“Peak master…” Elder Qing Xuan’s expression changed.
There were more than 20 pseudo emperors. If they leave, the Ninth Peak would definitely suffer great losses in the future and become a real joke.
Not only him, even Luo Tianya and the rest did not expect Ye Chen to agree. Only Ye Wushuang looked at the 20 over people as if he was looking at dead people.
Ye Chen shouted, “Let them go!”
Elder Chen took a good look at Ye Chen. When he saw that Ye Chen did not look like he was faking it, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the Ninth Peak. With him leading the way, the rest of the people hesitated for a while before following him.
They would turn their heads every few steps as they were afraid that Ye Chen would go back on his word and attack them.
However, Ye Chen did not move at all. He merely glanced at Ye Wushuang coldly and said softly, “Kill them all!”
Only when these people walked out of the Ninth Peak did they heave a sigh of relief.
Elder Chen, who was leading the group, scoffed, “I thought Mad Southern Ye was a formidable person. I didn’t expect him to be so indecisive and soft-hearted.”
“What are you talking about? Let’s go. If he goes back on his word, we won’t be able to escape even if we wanted to!” An elder said before rushing into the distance.
When the other sects that had been stationed outside the Ninth Peak saw that, confusion appeared on their faces.
Elder Chen immediately shouted, “Everyone, we’ve already left the Ninth Peak. From now on, we have nothing to do with the Ninth Peak. I hope you will not attack us!”
As he finished his sentence, the other forces outside the Ninth Peak could not help but burst into an uproar, followed by loud laughter that shook the sky.
“Hahaha, so many people are willing to leave the Ninth Peak. The Ninth Peak is done for!”
“Foolish Mad Southern Ye. Does he really think that so many people are willing to go against the seven high sects and the Kunlun Ruins with him?”
At this moment, a sharp sword intent suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
At the next moment, a white-robed figure shot out from the Ninth Peak, and a sword gleam slashed at Elder Chen.
“Since he’s not from the Ninth Peak, then he’s our enemy. Death will be his fate!”
In an instant, screams rang out…
