This time, Elder Shi of the Canglan Sect and his fellow disciples are also accompanying us. Elder Shi is a Second Realm, and the other experts of the Canglan Sect are also Third Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangshan Sword Sect Master Wu Jianchen didn't know why he was restless at this time, and he didn't have much mood to entertain the other party. Hearing this, he said casually, \"Then why did Elder Zhou come to find me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time we will form a situation of overwhelming momentum to force the Profound Heaven Sword Sect to give up their interests.\" Elder Zhou said, \"In essence, the last sect-founding ceremony of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect was a similar pattern. Under that situation, Shen Tang could only claim to make a small amount of high-grade flying swords and dared not compete directly with your sect. Now that their wings are hard, they want to compete directly. Can’t we suppress them again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen sighed. \"I am only Fourth Realm. At that time, I was on par with Shen Tang, but now Shen Tang is in the mid-stage of the Third Realm. What can I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your sect is not without a backer.\" Elder Zhou lowered his voice. \"The Profound Heaven Sword Sect offended the capital... That sect-founding ceremony was handled beautifully on the surface, but in reality, it can be seen that they are a force that has no external friendly forces to congratulate them. Discussing Shen Tang alone, they might be very strong, but this kind of lonely person is not to be feared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen had a headache. \"My superiors are extremely perfunctory about this matter, wasting so many filial piety offerings every year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found out that it is because Lu Xingzhou has a favor with the Huanhua Sword Sect. At that time, Ye Wufeng killed Chu Qingchen, a direct disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect, and Lu Xingzhou killed Ye Wufeng, which was considered avenging Chu Qingchen. Although this favor is not very direct, and it is even considered to have destroyed the Huanhua Sword Sect’s own path of revenge, if the Huanhua Sword Sect is unfavorable to Lu Xingzhou, they will also be pointed at by the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of roundabout relationship...\" Elder Zhou said halfway, feeling disdain in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You actually have to inquire about this news now; we already knew it, and we guessed that maybe you are unreliable and need to be dragged into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking this, a disciple rushed in from outside. \"Sect Master, Sect Master! Someone from the Demon Suppression Division came, saying that our sect’s people were caught robbing the road in Xiazhou, and asked the Sect Master to go and pick them up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen was baffled. \"Our sect’s people? Robbing the road? Whose road are they robbing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said, they said they were robbing the goods of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, and were caught on the spot by the Demon Suppression Division.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense! How is that possible! What good would it do us to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as there was chaos, Shen Tang’s voice came from the air: \"Shen Tang of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, accompanied by Guest Elder Lu Xingzhou, pays a visit to the mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was not loud, but it echoed in everyone’s ears, making their eardrums buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen was horrified. \"With this strength, is she really in the mid-stage of the Third Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do, Sect Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do? Invite people in, including the Demon Suppression Division.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen was much calmer than the disciple. He knew that Shen Tang couldn't possibly run over to fight without declaring war in broad daylight, but he admired the courage of this pair of dogs and men. Running to a hostile sect, closing the mountain-guarding array was like catching a turtle in a jar, and they were really not afraid of anything going wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that it would be fine if the Demon Suppression Division was there; who could be sure whether the opponent would go crazy, unless they had absolute confidence that they could leave safely even if the opponent went crazy. Anyway, he, Wu Jianchen, didn't dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Lu Xingzhou pushed Shen Tang into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including that Elder Zhou, everyone in the hall had the thought of \"a talented man and a beautiful woman.\" The man was handsome and outstanding, and the woman was elegant and beautiful, with inherent majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the few people from the Demon Suppression Division who followed behind seemed to be automatically turned into passersby, and everyone’s eyes were tightly attracted by this pair of men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to be selected as the strongest sect in the commandery based on \"good-looking,\" they seemed to have secured the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen finally spoke to break the silence: \"I don't know what brings Sect Master Shen here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang said lightly: \"Your sect sent people to rob our goods, and I have come to ask for an explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible.\" Wu Jianchen said immediately: \"We didn't do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Suppression Division constable, who seemed like a passerby, said coldly: \"Does Sect Master Wu want to say that our Demon Suppression Division wronged you? Isn't Lu Wei your sect’s hall master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen was horrified. \"Lu Wei is indeed a member of our sect, but we never sent them to rob goods. What good would it do us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s enough to admit that they are your people.\" The Demon Suppression Division constable said coldly: \"Sect Master Wu is also suspected of sending people to do evil. At present, their confession admits that it was a private act and has nothing to do with your sect; otherwise, even Sect Master Wu would have to be tried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did the Demon Suppression Division become so strict? If a disciple commits a crime, the Sect Master is tried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen broke out in a cold sweat. \"Then where are Lu Wei and the others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This group of people is being detained by the Demon Suppression Division. Considering it is a first offense and has not caused serious consequences, Commander Wan’s meaning is that Sect Master Wu can bail them out and deal with them according to your own sect laws. If Sect Master Wu thinks we should handle it according to the law, then we will question them another day. The message has been delivered; Sect Master Wu can decide for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-level officials of the Cangshan Sword Sect looked at each other, and the couple Zhou and Tang looked at each other with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else does Sect Master Wu have to say now?\" Lu Xingzhou asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen said awkwardly: \"Lu Wei’s personal behavior does not represent the sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"So Sect Master Wu means that your sect has no intention of being our enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question was asked quite wickedly. If the answer was no, then does Wu Jianchen still have the face to appear in the so-called joint pressure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the answer was yes, does it mean that this time it was not a \"private act\"? The Demon Suppression Division constable was still watching from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen never thought that a mere constable could make him feel caught in a dilemma. The words were stuck in his mouth for a long time, and he couldn't answer for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his silent appearance, Shen Tang said lightly: \"I know what Sect Master Wu means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of the words, the flying sword came out of its sheath. The purple light was flourishing, and the terrifying pressure pressed on everyone’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Tang! You...\" Wu Jianchen didn't finish his words, and the vast purple energy crushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master!\" The surrounding high-level officials quickly stepped forward to rescue, and everyone worked together to block the purple energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"bang,\" everyone was thrown away. Wu Jianchen, who bore the brunt, spat out a mouthful of blood, but was horrified to find that this sword was not aimed at him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light turned when it reached them, and after crushing everyone’s defense, it rushed straight to the main beam in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang,\" the beam, which had been reinforced to be extremely strong, broke. The aftermath did not stop, and the terrifying energy overflowed and spread, causing the entire hall to be shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone else was near Shen Tang, and when Shen Tang drew her sword, they attacked Shen Tang’s back, bullying her for being lame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou turned around and kicked, kicking the person out of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen finally understood that this pair of men and women visiting alone was not courage, but that they were not on the same level at all. Some people on the rookie list were abused in turns, and how many others of the same Fourth Realm could play with them? Similarly, with some people’s Third Realm, you cannot treat them as ordinary Third Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Tang said she would destroy the Cangshan Sword Sect alone, she might not be able to do it, but leaving was like playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Elder of the Cangshan Sword Sect shouted angrily: \"Shen Tang, are you going to start a war with us alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\" The sword light returned to its sheath, and Shen Tang sat quietly in the wheelchair, saying lightly: \"I only know that if people don't offend me, I don't offend people; if people offend me, I will repay them a hundredfold. The Profound Heaven Sword Sect is not the Demon Suppression Division, and we don't care if there is evidence of Sect Master Wu sending disciples. You robbed our goods, so I destroyed your hall. If there is a next time, this flying sword will not be aimed at the roof beam. Take care of yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen calmed his chaotic blood and looked at the Demon Suppression Division constable: \"The Demon Suppression Division just watches others break into the door like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Suppression Division constable rolled his eyes: \"There is no injury, I can't control it. If you rob other people’s goods first, you should be prepared to be retaliated against.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is how the Demon Suppression Division constable is used? She can break into the mountain and destroy the hall, but we can't kill her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen spat out blood again, wanting to say something but only had a stomach full of grass mud horses, and couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou opened his mouth with a smile at this time: \"Sect Master Wu, from a reasonable point of view, I also think it is strange that you robbed our goods. Who is it that hopes our goods will be robbed, and who is it that hopes we will clash with your sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen’s heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked at Elder Zhou on the side of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou immediately flashed and grabbed Elder Zhou’s shoulder: \"Sect Master Wu, is this person not from your sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen said: \"This is a guest of the East River Gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou was also Fourth Realm. Seeing Lu Xingzhou grabbing him, he was about to dodge, but a whip kick had already kicked his lower abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood, horrified in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can the gap be so big?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou picked up Elder Zhou and threw him into the middle of the hall: \"Sect Master Wu, you and I still have the origin of the Huanhua Sword Sect. I advise you not to be used as a gun by others. This person will be handed over to Sect Master Wu for good interrogation. As for other things, we can talk about it privately. Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple of dogs and men turned and left with the Demon Suppression Division constable. Countless people from the Cangshan Sword Sect were surrounded outside, but no one dared to stop them, watching Lu Xingzhou push the wheelchair and split the crowd like breaking waves, and then go away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after they left, the hall collapsed, and the ground was full of smoke and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jianchen and others walked out of the ruins with gray faces, grabbing Elder Zhou’s neck: \"Say, did Lu Wei and others believe your instigation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou’s eyes bulged, struggling to say: \"No, it’s not me... it’s, it’s the Gang Leader...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" Wu Jianchen threw him to the ground, his chest heaving with anger: \"Whether I want to confront Shen Tang or not, I have my own considerations! What do you mean by designing to drag me into the water! The friendship between my Cangshan Sword Sect and your East River Gang is over from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou touched his throat with lingering fear, thinking to himself that you are clearly afraid of Shen Tang, but you only dare to vent your anger on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s actions are already very different from when they founded the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, establishing prestige was just for self-protection, indicating that they were not easy to pinch, but this time they had strong aggressiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clearly knew that the Cangshan Sword Sect was just pitted, and the robbery was not instigated by Wu Jianchen, but they still broke into the door and destroyed the hall. The meaning of warning the world was very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you rob her goods, and even didn't succeed, you have to suffer such retaliation. Then what if you offend her more severely? Who else would dare to act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Cangshan Sword Sect seems to have lost face, but it is possible that it will be the one with the least injury in this battle. As long as you don't get involved in it later, you can probably live in peace. This is actually Lu Xingzhou giving face to the Huanhua Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beating people, but giving face... This is the spirit that only exists in top-tier sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sword Sect wants to do this time, not just simple prestige, but to suppress thousands of miles and achieve local hegemony... like what those First Realm sects do...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Continue to ask for monthly tickets~\u003C\u002Fp>",2432,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7bea7f30412e9eb1c5e8ebb97eeb32b232a0f215516d621a4496eb2e543224f2","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-188","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-186",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
