Chapter 738: Chapter 735: Hold Steady

Boom—

In an instant, Wu Yue, the Taiji Sword Master, was sent flying backward, bleeding from seven orifices and severely injured on the spot!

"Master!"

Duan Canghai, who looked like a peasant, quickly flew towards Wu Yue, stabilizing his injuries. He glared angrily at the Black Robe elder who had suddenly appeared, with a hint of killing intent emerging.

"Canghai, don’t be impulsive!" Wu Yue suppressed the chaotic Qi within his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "He is Ancestor Ji."

Yuan Kong and Feng Qingyun clearly hadn’t expected such a thing to happen, both looking pale.

This suddenly appearing Black Robe elder, with his terrifying strength, had even injured Wu Yue, the strongest among them, with a mere raise of his hand.

This indicated that this person’s level of terror was utterly beyond their imaginations.

And this world...

Clearly, it had been conjured in an instant by this Black Robe elder.

A world created in a thought.

What kind of being was this?

"Is he that most ancient Ancestor Ji from our Sword Tomb?" Yuan Kong and Feng Qingyun looked at each other, their eyes filled with a shock.

However, this Ancestor Ji’s temperament seemed quite peculiar, wounding the Taiji Sword Master severely without a word.

"What does Ancestor Ji mean by this?" Duan Canghai felt angry, unable to help but ask sternly.

The Black Robe elder glanced at Duan Canghai dismissively and said slowly, "The River Soldier is the treasure of our Sword Tomb. You either have sat in the position of the Supreme Sect Leader or you are now the Sect Leader. Don’t you even know this? And you let someone take away the River Soldier so easily?"

"If this old man hadn’t happened to awaken today, you few little rascals would have probably sent the River Soldier away!"

The Black Robe elder snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Canghai narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Does not Ancestor Ji know about the decree from our great ancestor?"

The Black Robe elder glanced at Duan Canghai and replied unhurriedly, "This old man has said, it’s not up to you few little rascals to teach me how to handle matters."

These words, however, made Duan Canghai and his companions feel disgusted.

How could they not know what Ancestor Ji was thinking?

It was nothing more than seeing the power of the River Soldier and having other designs, thus coming forward, wanting to take back the River Soldier from Ye Xuan!

They knew that the decree of the great ancestor stated that if someone came to take the River Soldier, they should not stop them.

Now that Ye Xuan had obtained the River Soldier, it was rightfully his.

This also showed that the River Soldier had been waiting for Ye Xuan.

Yet this Ancestor Ji, openly defying the decree of the great ancestor and harboring malicious intentions, was truly disgusting!

"Young friend, I wonder if you might leave the River Soldier behind."

The Black Robe elder once again looked at Ye Xuan, speaking softly.

Ye Xuan, one hand on his sword and the other in his pocket, looked at the Black Robe elder with a half-smile and said lightly, "Your actions represent the Sword Tomb. Today’s actions are an insult to the Sword Tomb and even more to your great ancestor Huang Chunqiu."

When Ye Xuan saw this Black Robe elder, he wasn’t surprised.

He had anticipated this before he took the River Soldier.

The bigger the Sect, the more likely it is to have a few bad elements. Although the Sword Tomb had integrity, it was not exempt from this commonality.

With Ye Xuan’s words, Yuan Kong and the others felt deeply ashamed.

Frankly, they too despised this Ancestor Ji’s actions.

"Hahaha, little boy, this old man spoke nicely to you because of the River Soldier. Do you really think you’re qualified to converse with me?" the Black Robe elder said with a sneer that did not reach his eyes.

"If you’re wise, leave the River Soldier here, and I can let you leave."

"If you’re not wise, I wouldn’t mind crushing you to death."

A moment ago, this most ancient ancestor of the Sword Tomb still put on a pretense, but now he was openly threatening.

"Is he the highest in rank in your Sword Tomb now?" Ye Xuan ignored this Ancestor Ji and instead looked towards Yuan Kong and the others, speaking unhurriedly.

"You’ve seen our embarrassment..." Yuan Kong said ashamedly, indirectly affirming that this Ancestor Ji was indeed the highest-ranked old monster in the Sword Tomb now.

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on the Black Robe elder, and he said slowly, "Truly, after outliving everyone from your own era, you become the most formidable old ancestor, then do whatever you want. I suppose a being like you, within the people of your era, was mostly a waste."

The Sword Tomb had seen many legendary figures who had enjoyed renowned legacies.

As for this Ancestor Ji, Ye Xuan had genuinely never heard of him.

Logically speaking, given this guy’s old age and how long he had lived, he should have made a name for himself before Ye Xuan had even started creating his plans.

And Ye Xuan, who often paid attention to the Sword Tomb, would definitely be aware of such a character.

But Ye Xuan had never heard of this guy.

Upon a casual guess, Ye Xuan understood.

This man was mostly someone who became the highest in rank after everyone from his era had perished, then started to act high and mighty, bullying the young and doing as he pleased.

Even boasting of his highest seniority, he directly ignored the verbal teachings of their ancestral master.

To put it mildly, this is called bullying by power.

To put it harshly, this is called violating the ancestral teachings, betraying and destroying one’s lineage.

"No matter what you say, Guo Hezu must stay, and you must stay as well," the Black Robe elder’s expression did not change, but his tone had grown considerably colder.

Ye Xuan’s words seemed to have stepped on his sore spot.

In fact, he really outlived those of his own era.

When those fellows were around, his say in the Sword Tomb was frighteningly low.

It was only after those fellows had successively passed away that his status began to rise.

But as the years faded, no one knew about this anymore.

He was the Elder with the highest seniority in the Sword Tomb.

This resulted in even him getting deeply entrenched in it.

It was only now, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, that he remembered those years, which also aroused his killing intent.

He hated being told these kinds of things the most!

"Guo Hezu should stay?" Ye Xuan laughed, his eyes calm, he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Hasn’t Guo Hezu always been in the Sword Tomb?"

"You think a weasel like you that only got ahead by skulking can take Guo Hezu?"

"Nonsense, ignorant of life and death!" The Black Robe elder’s eyes squinted slightly, a clear killing intent revealed.

Ye Xuan’s right hand slowly gripped Guo Hezu, he casually twirled a sword flower and looked at the Black Robe elder, smiling faintly, "Since you so desire Guo Hezu, try and take it."

While speaking, Ye Xuan made a throwing motion.

The Black Robe elder’s expression turned serious, he calmly said, "Alright!"

He dared to come forward to claim Guo Hezu, naturally, he was prepared.

He had always heard the legend of Guo Hezu but in his view, it was all nonsense.

It was clearly the prohibition of Emperor Night Peak that resulted in no one being able to take Guo Hezu.

Now that Guo Hezu had been taken out from Emperor Night Peak, he didn’t believe he couldn’t handle it!

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan threw Guo Hezu toward the Black Robe elder.

The Black Robe elder revealed a trace of joy, but being cautious and timid, he did not reach out to catch it directly, but instead used his mana to conjure a spectral giant hand that grasped at Guo Hezu.

Thud, thud, thud----------

However, in an instant, the hand formed by mana was directly chopped to bits, not even lasting a moment.

The Black Robe elder’s expression darkened slightly, as expected, it wasn’t so easy to retrieve!

Guo Hezu steadily flew towards him.

The Black Robe elder hesitated a bit, to take or not to take...

On Guo Hezu, there clearly existed a terrifying power, and taking it could likely result in injury.

However, feeling the mocking gaze of that young lad, the Black Robe elder hummed coldly in his heart.

Does he really think I am afraid?

With this thought, the Black Robe elder finally took a bold move, but still circulated his cultivation technique, covering his right hand with layers of refined mana and powerful laws, before he reached out to catch Guo Hezu.

All eyes were fixed on this moment.

Hum----------

The Black Robe elder reached out and grasped Guo Hezu.

A layer of black light shone upon Guo Hezu.

"I got it!" The Black Robe elder was overjoyed, he looked at Ye Xuan, breaking into a wild laugh, "Boy, now Guo Hezu belongs to me!"

"Is that so? Then you better hold on tight," Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, his face nonchalant.

"Sigh..."

Seeing this scene, the four Sword Masters of Taiji all sighed deeply.

Although Guo Hezu was a legendary Divine Sword, no matter what, the Daoist Ancestor had said that this sword did not belong to the Sword Tomb.

For Ji Ancestor to have obtained Guo Hezu, to them, was rather a humiliation.

This was a humiliation to the Daoist Ancestor!

"Is this the legendary Guo Hezu?" At this moment the Black Robe elder was immersed in endless joy, carefully examining the sword in his hands, unable to let go.

Hiss----------

A flash of black Sword Qi flashed by.
