Faced with Shen Hui's question, the elder did not dare to speak again. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would provoke Shen Hui's anger.
Seeing that the elder had fallen silent, Shen Hui did not show any signs of getting angry. After asking three questions in a row, Shen Hui continued.
"Although the Shrines do not fear the Sword Sect, we cannot create a strong enemy for ourselves for no reason. If you think that Wu Qinfeng's motley crew can contend with the Sword Sect, I can tell you right now that it is merely a daydream.
"Even if 20 or 30 sects joined forces, they would be nothing more than a motley crew to the Sword Sect, let alone a dozen sects joining forces.
"You think that by doing this, you can create some trouble for the Sword Sect. However, let me tell you this. Not only will your actions not cause any trouble for the Sword Sect, but you will also create a strong enemy for the Shrines.
"If you want to contend with the Sword Sect, even the Shrines will have to go all out. As such, do you still think that Wu Qinfeng's motley crew can contend with the Sword Sect?"
Upon hearing Shen Hui's words, the elder nodded respectfully and replied, "I know my mistake."
"Alright, on account of your unwavering loyalty to the Shrines, I will forgive you this time. Go to the Valley of the Gods and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to leave for a year," Shen Hui said with a wave of his hand.
He did not punish the elder severely. After all, Shen Hui could feel his loyalty to the Shrines. Even if such a person had made some mistakes, as long as they were not too serious, Shen Hui would not be too harsh on him.
Furthermore, this time, the matter had not caused any losses to the Shrines because the white-robed elder had stopped it in time. As such, there was naturally no need to be too harsh on him.
After ordering the elder to leave, Shen Hui turned to look at the white-robed elder beside him. The smile on his face did not disappear.
"There are always some people in this world who are willing to daydream. Haha."
In Shen Hui's opinion, the actions of Wu Qinfeng and the rest were undoubtedly courting death. They thought that by joining forces, they would be able to contend with the Sword Sect.
Did they not look at the current situation in the Great Thousand World? Apart from the Sword Mansion, the chaos in the other Prefectures was quickly suppressed with the help of the Ten Lingtian Sects.
In the face of the ten great Ling Tian Sects, even if the ordinary forces were to join forces, they would not be able to contend against them. What a joke, Wu Qinfeng and the others actually did not realize this point. Or did they think that just because Swords Sect was not one of the ten great Ling Tian Sects, they would be able to contend against them?
However, although the Sword Sect was not yet one of the Ten Lingtian Sects, it already had the strength of one of the Ten Lingtian Sects.
This was because all of the Ling Tian Sects had to be cautious when facing the Sword Sect. This was also the reason why the Sword Sect was able to split the Heavenly Mansion into two and form an independent Sword Mansion in the hands of the Heavenly Sect. However, the Heavenly Sect still remained silent.
Wu Qinfeng and the rest had thought too simply of the Sword Sect and Xiao Chen.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Hui stood up with his hands behind his back. He walked unhurriedly toward the periphery of the sea of flowers. As he walked, he muttered to himself.
"How could someone who could pull the Sword Sect back from the edge of the cliff and even bring it to its current height be simple? Xiao Chen, it seems like it's time for you to draw your sword."
Shen Hui was certain that there would not be any changes in the Sword Mansion. Unless the Ten Lingtian Sects made a move, no one would be able to change the current situation of the Sword Mansion. They would not even be able to cause a ripple.
Since Shen Hui had stopped the Shrines, this meant that Wu Qinfeng and the rest would no longer be able to get any help from the Shrines. Unfortunately, Wu Qinfeng and the rest were still in the dark and did not know about this at all.
At this moment, outside Tong City, Wu Qinfeng and the rest were still dreaming. They had even decided to hold the grand ceremony for the establishment of the alliance two days later. At the same time, Wu Qinfeng would become the Alliance Leader of the alliance.
What was even more ridiculous was that Wu Qinfeng and the rest had even given their alliance a name — the Sword Reverse Alliance.
The meaning of the Sword Reverse Alliance was obvious. They were going against the Sword Sect. They had no intention of hiding the news at all. Therefore, the establishment of the Sword Reverse Alliance quickly spread around Tong City.
In the back garden of the City Governor's Estate, Xiao Chen, Nangong Guan, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan were sitting together. At this moment, Xiao Chen was rocking back and forth with laughter.
"Haha, the Sword Reverse Alliance. Interesting, interesting …"
After hearing about the Sword Reverse Alliance, Xiao Chen's first reaction was not anger, but amusement. This was because in Xiao Chen's opinion, this so-called Sword Reverse Alliance was like a child's play.
Xiao Chen did not get angry at the establishment of the Sword Reverse Alliance. Nangong Guan, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan, who were beside him, also could not help but laugh.
Thinking about it, if a mere Sword Reverse Alliance was enough to contend against the Sword Sect, then the Sword Sect would have been annihilated hundreds of times already.
After laughing, Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Guan and the others and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, isn't this what people always say? If you want to destroy something, you must first make it crazy."
Wu Qinfeng and the rest were indeed crazy. It could even be said that they were openly challenging the authority of the Sword Sect.
The establishment of the Sword Reverse Alliance was not concealed in the slightest. In fact, Wu Qinfeng and the rest had even spread the news with great fanfare and invited everyone to attend the Sword Reverse Alliance's establishment ceremony.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Nangong Guan took a sip of wine and said indifferently, "Perhaps we were too easy-going before, so these guys overlooked something."
In the past, when the Sword Sect had dealt with these foreign forces and cultivators, they had indeed been very peaceful and had never suppressed them.
It was because of this that Wu Qinfeng and the rest had overlooked the Sword Sect's strength. It could even be said that they felt that the Sword Sect was too cowardly.
Hearing Nangong Guan's words, Xiao Chen's smile didn't fade, but a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Then let's have Cang Xing remind them and wake them up."
Xiao Chen had already handed over the matter of Wu Qinfeng and the others to Cang Xing, so Xiao Chen had no intention of interfering. Hearing this, Zhou Song spoke up.
"Junior Apprentice Brother, are you leaving everything to Cang Xing? We don't need to do anything? "
"No need. If we had to send out four Vice Sect Masters to deal with a bunch of mobs, wouldn't that make us a laughingstock? Cang Xing alone is enough. In fact, I think that Cang Xing might not even personally appear because Wu Qinfeng and the others aren't qualified enough for the Sword Sect's Vice Sect Masters to take action," Xiao Chen replied with a relaxed expression.
