"It's my decision to head to Guide Ancient City. It's also an order. I'm not discussing it with you," Honn Shinsakura said calmly.
His tone was extremely calm, but it was as if a barrel of gasoline had been ignited. It wasn't just the elder who had argued with Honn Shinsakura. The other Elders also revealed looks of indignation. All of them spoke up. Some cursed, some persuaded, and some gave Honn Shinsakura pointers as a senior. The meaning behind their words was to tell Honn Shinsakura not to be stubborn. Otherwise, it would definitely harm the tens of thousands of disciples of the Niten Flying Immortal Palace. It might even destroy the foundation that Sei Gasakai had painstakingly established.
Looking at the Elders who were spitting saliva, Honn Shinsakura was just about to say something when he suddenly saw a female swordsman in white walk in. Hence, he shut his mouth and looked at the female swordsman.
"Elders, can you listen to me?" the female swordsman said to the Elders.
"Shiraishi Satomi, you came just in time. Quickly persuade your senior brother. He's going to ruin the foundation that Lord Sword Sage has painstakingly established …" When the Elders saw the female swordsman, their eyes immediately lit up. They invited her to join their camp and persuade Honn Shinsakura.
Sei Gasakai had many disciples, but only Honn Shinsakura and Shiraishi Satomi could truly obtain his teachings. Although Honn Shinsakura had inherited the position of Palatial Lord, Shiraishi Satomi's status in the Niten Flying Immortal Palace was still very high. She had a good relationship with Honn Shinsakura, so Honn Shinsakura would likely consider her words more seriously.
"Elders, Palatial Lord's decision is right. We should head to Guide Ancient City and not the six families." Shiraishi Satomi's words left all the Elders dumbfounded.
"Shiraishi Satomi, why are you going crazy with Palatial Lord?" The Elders looked at Shiraishi Satomi in puzzlement.
"I'm not crazy. Palatial Lord isn't crazy either. Guide Ancient City is our best choice, not the six families," Shiraishi Satomi said firmly.
"Why?" The Elders were even more puzzled. They really couldn't think of any reason not to choose the six families and instead choose a tiny Guide Ancient City that was under the An family.
"Because Zhou Wen is there." When she said this, Shiraishi Satomi's eyes seemed to shimmer.
The Elders were stunned. This was the second time they had heard that sentence today. First, Honn Shinsakura had given such an answer, and now, Shiraishi Satomi had given the same answer. The two mainstays of the Niten Flying Immortal Palace had given such an answer. It was truly unbelievable.
"Zhou Wen is indeed a figure. There are rumors in the outside world that he's the Thief King. Ignoring the fact that he might not be the Thief King, even if he really is the Thief King, not being chosen by the dimension only proves that his potential is limited. It's not worth it for us to bet the Niten Flying Immortal Palace's foundation on him …" an Elder persuaded.
"Third Elder is right. Besides, what sort of place is Guide Ancient City? The strange dimensional zones were everywhere, and the environment was no better than at sea. In fact, it was even more terrifying. In the future, the dimensional zones would be breached on a large scale, and the situation would be even more difficult than at sea. Isn't it the same as entering the tiger's den after leaving the wolf's den? "
"Absolutely not. Even if we are considering going to Guide Ancient City, we should directly contact the An family in Luoyang. Wouldn't we be lowering ourselves to Guide Ancient City just like that?"
"Guide Ancient City is definitely not a good place …"
The Elders began to persuade Shiraishi Satomi again. No matter how good the relationship between Shiraishi Satomi, Honn Shinsakura, and Zhou Wen was, they didn't believe that it was a place worth betting the Niten Flying Immortal Palace's foundation.
"What if Zhou Wen is Human Emperor?" Shiraishi Satomi suddenly said.
The Elders who were spitting saliva fell silent as they stared at Shiraishi Satomi as though they were frozen. They even forgot to close their mouths.
"What did you just say?" An Elder felt that he must have heard wrongly as he asked Shiraishi Satomi.
"If Zhou Wen is Human Emperor, is it worth entrusting him to us?" Shiraishi Satomi asked.
"Shiraishi Satomi, don't spout nonsense just to convince us. When Human Emperor killed Di Tian, Zhou Wen wasn't even twenty. He wasn't even fully grown. How can he be Human Emperor?"
"That's right, that's right. Zhou Wen can't be Human Emperor. Don't think that you can fool us and make us agree to go to Guide Ancient City."
"Even if Zhou Wen is really Human Emperor, he hasn't been chosen by the dimension. It's still unknown if he can fight the spokesperson. Furthermore, it's difficult for two fists to fight four hands …"
Shiraishi Satomi was taken aback. She originally imagined that as long as she told the Elders the secret that Zhou Wen was Human Emperor, she would definitely obtain their support, but she never expected such an outcome.
Shiraishi Satomi was momentarily at a loss for words as she looked at Honn Shinsakura with a bitter smile.
Honn Shinsakura had long guessed that this would happen, so he hadn't revealed the secret that Zhou Wen was Human Emperor. Firstly, it was useless, and secondly, it could easily cause trouble for Zhou Wen.
"Elders, do you know why the Sword Dao created by my master is called the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū and why our place is called the Niten Flying Immortal Palace?" Honn Shinsakura said slowly when he saw Shiraishi Satomi's pleading gaze.
"Sword Sage once said that he received guidance from an expert, which is why he was able to create the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. As for why it's called the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū, he didn't say …" an elder said after some thought.
The Niten Flying Immortal Palace didn't discriminate in education. Most of its disciples were actually recruited from other factions. There weren't many disciples who were truly taught by Sei Gasakai.
Especially in recent years, as the living environment overseas was getting worse, many small factions had joined the Niten Flying Immortal Palace in hopes of obtaining Sei Gasakai's protection.
Most of these Elders were lords of a faction in the past, not Sei Gasakai's fellow disciples.
"You're right. Master did receive guidance from an expert to create the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. Back then, I was only a teenager. I followed Master to the mainland to cultivate and met a peerless expert in Luoyang's Peony Garden, "Honn Shinsakura said.
"I know about this. It was before the Niten Flying Immortal Palace was established. Lord Sword Sage had traveled to the mainland. At that time, Lord Sword Sage had already reached a bottleneck in his Sword Dao. He was only half a step away from creating the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū Sword Dao. As he encountered that expert and was defeated, he gained some insight. After returning, he created the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. Palace Lord, you should be talking about that time, right?" the yellow-faced Elder recalled.
Honn Shinsakura nodded slightly. "That's right. Do you know who the person Master and I met was?"
"Naturally, it's a highly respected senior," the yellow-faced Elder said.
"What if I say that the person we met was only a fifteen or sixteen year old youth who was about the same age as me?" Honn Shinsakura's gaze swept across everyone's faces as he enunciated each word.
"Impossible!" the Elders shouted in unison. They naturally refused to believe such a thing.
A fifteen-year-old youth had defeated Sei Gasakai, who was already a half-step Sword Sage back then. This was simply a fantasy.
"Why is it impossible?" A voice sounded from outside. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the voice. They looked out the door and saw Sei Gasakai slowly walking in.
