Chapter 1810

Spirit Sword Sect.

Ming Jianzi glared at the person before him, his whole body Technique bursting forth; behind him stood many disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, Ming Wuzi among them, sword in hand, ready to act at any moment; many disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect recognized the person before them, the Sect Master, who had returned once again.

The deceased person had returned; they felt resentment toward the person before them, also a more complex expression; Ming Jianzi and Ming Wuzi had the most complex expressions, and Ming Jianzi coldly said: "You aren't dead, are you? Why have you come back?"

Lingjian Zhenren felt no embarrassment at all, and he said lightly: "Ming Jianzi, upon seeing your master, don't you greet him?"

"What kind of attitude is this? Your master has returned, and you don't welcome him inside?"

Familiar Spirit Sword Sect, Lingjian Zhenren stood outside; these people before him blocked his path, not letting him enter; the sect's grand Formation isolated him, that layer of Formation had been upgraded, no longer the original grand Formation, its power increased manyfold compared to the original; it was clear a Formation master had set it up, and that Formation master's attainment was very high.

The cultivation of these people before him was all strong; among them, the strongest was Ming Wuzi, at the fifth layer of the True Destiny Realm, his whole body Technique restrained, appearing not like a swordsman; to have cultivated to the True Person Realm in this place already makes him a dragon among men, and to take a second step within the True Realm is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

However, this world now is not the same as the world back then; the spiritual qi of heaven and earth has become dense, at least twice as dense as when he was there; moreover, this place has become more complete and more vast, the whole world is changing, a scene of flourishing prosperity.

The people of the Spirit Sword Sect are strong in cultivation; compared to when he left, they have improved at least two grades; these years the Spirit Sword Sect has improved greatly, and he has seen many fine prospects, these fine seedlings are all the future of the Heaven Sword Sect; it seems his return this time was correct.

Ming Jianzi's cultivation is slightly weaker than Ming Wuzi's, having reached the first layer of the True Destiny Realm, fully exerting his talent; it must be said, both Ming Jianzi and Ming Wuzi are outstanding, truly his two most proud disciples; if not for that incident back then, these two disciples would not have this attitude.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense; you are not our master, please don't arbitrarily accept disciples." Ming Jianzi gave a cold snort, directly refuting Lingjian Zhenren's words, refusing to acknowledge him as master; Lingjian Zhenren had already betrayed the sect, becoming a traitor.

He is no longer a person of the Spirit Sword Sect, nor the sect master of former years; the Spirit Sword Sect does not welcome his return.

"Moreover, the Spirit Sword Sect does not welcome you; please leave the Spirit Sword Sect immediately." Ming Jianzi directly ordered him to depart, refusing to let him stay in the Spirit Sword Sect; the entire Spirit Sword Sect does not welcome him.

Lingjian Zhenren pretended not to hear, glanced at the crowd behind Ming Jianzi, and smiled: "You are all not bad; your strength and cultivation have improved, better than when I oversaw the Spirit Sword Sect; Ming Jianzi, these years you have done well."

Seeing that he wanted to enter the Spirit Sword Sect, Ming Jianzi drew his sword.

The disciples behind him all drew their swords; they did not want Lingjian Zhenren to enter the Spirit Sword Sect again and bring disaster upon it.

Lingjian Zhenren glanced at them and said: "There's no need for this; this time I have returned not to cause you trouble, you need not be nervous or on guard against me, Ming Jianzi, you are still the same as before."

"And you, Ming Wuzi, upon seeing your master, don't you call out?"

Ming Wuzi coldly stared at Lingjian Zhenren, thinking how to deal with him; Lingjian Zhenren's true form had descended, his strength not weak, not something they could defeat; that aura, that Technique, invisibly exuding pressure, made Ming Wuzi feel immense pressure.

Ming Wuzi stepped forward; this step directly blocked Lingjian Zhenren.

"Lingjian Zhenren, you are no longer the master of my Spirit Sword Sect, nor a person of my Spirit Sword Sect; you have no right to be my master; if you wish to retake the Spirit Sword Sect, you must ask my sword."

"I will not let you succeed."

Clang!

The sword blades were drawn, and behind them a flurry of sword-drawing sounds rose; the group of disciples all drew their swords, following Ming Jianzi's command—once he gave the order, they would immediately rush forward to fight, and even if Lingjian Zhenren were formidable, they would not retreat nor fear.

Such unity among the disciples stirred Lingjian Zhenren's feelings; most of these disciples were those he had recruited back then, many were his own disciples; now, disciples facing each other with drawn swords, Lingjian Zhenren naturally would feel distressed, but this distress soon faded.

He clapped in front of them and said: "Clap-clap-clap, good, good, you all are very united, letting this seat feel deeply moved; you remain as you were, unchanged, this is best—disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect should be like this, united as one."

"Ming Jianzi, you have taught very well."

Lingjian Zhenren took two steps forward, causing Ming Jianzi and the others to hastily circulate their Technique, ready to act at any moment.

Ming Jianzi and Ming Wuzi drew their swords together; behind them, Chen Churan coldly stared at Lingjian Zhenren, having already informed her elder brother of this; upon seeing Lingjian Zhenren, she immediately sought out Chen Chuyang, hoping he would come quickly.

However, for some unknown reason, Chen Chuyang did not come; normally he should have appeared soon, and moreover, without his elder brother's permission, Lingjian Zhenren's entry into this world would be unlikely.

Then there is only one possibility: Lingjian Zhenren obtained permission from the second elder brother, allowing him to enter this place and return to the Spirit Sword Sect; thinking this, Chen Churan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this Lingjian Zhenren before them was not here to cause trouble, nor to seek vengeance.

"You need not be nervous; this time I have returned with a great opportunity for you." Lingjian Zhenren glanced at the crowd and continued: "This time I come representing the Cangzhou Heaven Sword Sect to recruit disciples, preparing to bring a batch of disciples back to the Cangzhou Heaven Sword Sect; you all have the chance, and once you become formal disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect, you will receive the sect's full cultivation."

"What do you think?"

The ones he truly fancied were only a few; they are the elite of the Spirit Sword Sect, among them Ming Jianzi and Ming Wuzi are the persons he values most; these two are certain to be obtained.

As for the others, if they agree, they will naturally be taken along.

This batch of disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect is outstanding; with sufficient resources, their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Regarding this, he felt that this visit was correct; the world has changed so much that he can hardly recognize it.

These disciples before him are not inferior to those of the Heaven Sword Sect; moreover, their minds are exceptionally strong, something the Heaven Sword Sect's disciples cannot match; this is what Lingjian Zhenren values most—as a sword cultivator, mind surpasses anything else.
