"Let's not bother about him for now. I'll think of a way to get rid of him in the future!"
Luo Zheng thought about it and decided not to get involved with Ye Zhijian.
A sword fanatic like him would not be able to understand the mind of an ordinary person.
Otherwise, he would not have become a disciple of the Severing Sword Sect just to get his hands on the sword principle.
In Luo Zheng's opinion, although Ye Zhijian's sword principle was not as good as the Sky Sword Emperor's, it was not far off.
His sword principle was many times more powerful than the Severing Sword Sect's. He did not need to learn from the Severing Sword Sect's sword principle.
With his cultivation level, the Severing Sword Sect would not have been able to reject him if he had asked for it directly.
However, he had joined the Severing Sword Sect and had even helped the Severing Sword Sect win the Thousand Year Sword Meet.
"The Great Elder is here!"
At that moment, there was a commotion. Many disciples of the Severing Sword Sect looked in the same direction.
A figure with a sword light flashed in front of the crowd. It was the Great Elder of the Severing Sword Sect, Chen Linong! "Swordsman Li Sheng!"
Chen Linong's gaze fell on Luo Zheng as soon as he arrived.
Ever since Luo Zheng had joined the Dao Sword Heaven Sect, the Severing Sword Sect had suffered a lot because of him.
Chen Linong had suffered a great loss at the hands of Luo Zheng after the Dragon God Ceremony. Naturally, he hated Luo Zheng to the core.
However, he was not in the mood to bicker with Luo Zheng. He immediately turned to look at Ye Zhijian.
"Zhijian, you …" Chen Linong looked at his proud disciple with a complicated expression.
He didn't expect that Ye Zhijian would hide his cultivation level and enter the Interception Sword Way with evil intentions. It was all for the sake of obtaining swordsmanship.
No one in the Realms of Gods would be able to tolerate such a thing.
Moreover, now that the matter had been exposed, there was no way to cover it up.
The best way was to kill Ye Zhijian on the spot. Not only would the sword principle not be leaked, but it would also serve as a warning to others.
However, Ye Zhijian was a peerless genius that might not appear even once in a million years. How could Chen Linong bear to part with him?
If they killed Ye Zhijian, how could they suppress the Dao Sword Heavenly Sect? "I lied to the sect. From today onwards, I will leave the Interception Sword Path. I will not make things difficult for you!"
Ye Zhijian smiled faintly and said nonchalantly.
"This … this isn't your fault. Since you've joined the Intercepting Sword Path, it means that you're fated to join our sect.
Therefore, you don't have to leave. You just have to atone for your crimes in the future! "
Chen Linong squeezed out a smile and said, "Moreover, with your swordsmanship and cultivation, it's a waste for you to only be a disciple. I'll immediately report to the Sect Leader and grant you the position of Elder."
Instantly, Chen Linong made up his mind. Even if he had to risk being mocked, he had to make Ye Zhijian stay.
Even though he had just arrived, he had already seen the battle between Luo Zheng and Ye Zhijian from afar.
In the past, Luo Zheng's swordsmanship was already shocking. Now, it had reached a level that made Chen Linong feel hopeless.
Chen Linong decided that no matter the price, he had to make Ye Zhijian stay in the Interception Sword Path.
Otherwise, no one in the Interception Sword Path would be able to compete with Luo Zheng in the future.
Therefore, not only did Chen Linong not punish Ye Zhijian, he even gave him the position of Elder.
Even though he couldn't tell what cultivation level Ye Zhijian had reached, from what he could tell, Ye Zhijian's cultivation level couldn't be higher than the Profound Transformation Realm.
Even though the Interception Sword Path wasn't a top force, it was still a first-rate Sect. The position of Elder was enough to make Ye Zhijian shed tears of gratitude.
"No need. I'm not interested in the position of Elder. Even if you give me the position of Great Elder, I won't stay in the Interception Sword Path."
However, Ye Zhijian was unmoved and said coldly.
It was as if he didn't care about anything in this world other than swordsmanship.
"Ye Zhijian is probably close to being a Divine King. Chen Linong wants to keep him by giving him the position of Elder?"
Luo Zheng snickered inwardly.
For someone like him, even if he gave him the position of Sect Master, he wouldn't be moved, let alone the position of Elder.
"Ye Zhijian, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Chen Linong's expression was ferocious as he said coldly, "Those who join the Interception Sword Path live as Interception Sword Path's Taoist and die as Interception Sword Path's Ghost.
If you don't agree today, you can only be buried in the Interception Sword Path! "
"Chen Linong is courting death!"
Luo Zheng was shocked. Ye Zhijian was obsessed with swordsmanship, but he wasn't a fool who would be bullied.
In order to cultivate his swordsmanship, he traveled to various planes and stole countless swordsmanship manuals from various sword sects. His hands were stained with blood. Even the rivers might not be able to contain it.
If Chen Linong angered him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to turn the Interception Sword Path into a bloodbath.
Moreover, Qing Xun, the daughter of the Sacred Leader of Mount Mang, was in the Interception Sword Path.
"Brother Ye, if you want to follow me, you can follow me for now. However, I see that you and Great Elder Chen have unfinished business. I'll wait for you outside the mountain gate of the Interception Sword Path!"
Luo Zheng said to Ye Zhijian with cupped fists.
Without waiting for Ye Zhijian's reply, he turned and left, leaving the Interception Sword Path immediately.
Indeed, not long after leaving the Interception Sword Path, the Defense Array of the Interception Sword Path suddenly opened. A gray light covered the entire Interception Sword Path, making it impossible for others to see what was inside.
Luo Zheng could only occasionally feel huge tremors coming from the ground.
Two hours later, a door opened in the great formation of the Interception Sword Path, and two figures walked out.
It was a man and a woman. They were Ye Zhijian and Qing Xun.
"Brother Ye, are you all alright?"
Luo Zheng looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.
Ye Zhijian and Qing Xun were both unstained. It was obvious that the Interception Sword Path had suffered a great loss this time.
"I'm fine. The Interception Sword Path is quite hospitable. Before leaving, they even gave me the Sword Discourse Arena as a souvenir."
Ye Zhijian said, "Qing Xun said that if I follow you from now on, I will definitely cause you a lot of trouble. Thus, I will use this as a gift to thank you!"
With that, he flicked his finger and the Sword Discourse Arena, which had shrunk to a size of a foot, flew towards Luo Zheng.
"Ye Zhijian actually stole the Sword Discourse Arena. This time, the Interception Sword Path is probably going to vomit blood!"
Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The Sword Discourse Arena was a treasure left behind by the Heavenly Sword Divine Lord, although it was slightly inferior to the Sword Tower, Sword Pagoda and so on.
However, this item was also a treasure to those who cultivated the way of the sword. Luo Zheng was unable to reject it.
However, if he were to accept this item, it would be difficult to get rid of Ye Zhijian in the future.
"Thank you, Brother Ye!"
With that thought, Luo Zheng still accepted the Sword Discourse Arena.
In any case, even if he did not accept the Sword Discourse Arena, Ye Zhijian would still follow him. He might as well get some benefits first and talk about the rest later.
"Is this the Bright Mountain Pavilion Master, Miss Qing Xun?
Brother Chongtian was originally waiting for you here, but he had some matters to attend to and left first. You only need to give me the Great Destruction Thunder Bead! "
After keeping the Sword Discourse Arena, Luo Zheng looked at Qing Xun and took out the Message Ancient Talisman from the Bright Mountain Pavilion. "This is a keepsake!"
