Ask the heavens, ask the earth, ask the people!
Ask you, ask me!
Ask the boundless heavens and earth, ask the ethereal mortal world, ask all living things!
Ask the nothingness of this world!
What was his heart?
What was his intention?
The Third Prince's expression kept changing as he struggled in his heart. He kept asking himself, "Why did I fight for power? Why did I suppress my brothers time and time again? Is power really that important? "
The faint sword light pierced through the sky and silently tore apart the Third Prince's protective yellow light.
Kill!
The sword pierced through his heart.
The moment the sword pierced through his heart, the Third Prince suddenly understood why he fought for power. It was because he could get what he wanted.
His heart was firm and his spirit was sublimated. Unfortunately, his heart was already shattered. The terrifying sword Qi spread like lightning and covered the Third Prince's body, destroying all signs of life.
The Town King's eyes widened. He could see that the Third Prince had been killed. For a moment, he felt as if the sky had darkened. His killing intent burned like a ten-thousand-year-old volcano that was about to erupt. However, it was suppressed by a terrifying aura. It was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
The Red Jade Sword returned to its scabbard. Chen Zong looked at the Third Prince's lifeless face with confusion and relief. He stood there silently.
Back then, the Third Prince had targeted him time and time again. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive. Now, the Conqueror Martial Sect was dead, and the Third Prince was also dead.
Silently, Chen Zong felt his heart become clearer.
All the illusions disappeared with the sword strike just now.
A sword to the heart!
A sword to the heart!
Since then, the first basic move of the Heart Sword Way was created. It incorporated the sword intent and wind intent.
The wind was indefinite, like the human heart.
"Town King, this was a grudge between me and the Third Prince. Now that the grudge has been settled, what is the Dragon Diagram Imperial Family's intention?" Chen Zong glanced at the Town King's face and asked word by word.
"No grudge." The Town King felt that the aura suppressing him had weakened a lot and said in a low voice.
He was not stupid. Chen Zong was a peerless genius. All he lacked was time.
If they were invincible, they would have to get rid of them by the roots. They would do their best to kill them, even if they had to pay a price.
But now, Chen Zong was accompanied by an expert who was at least at the third level of the Sky Profound Realm. They had no chance to kill Chen Zong. Moreover, they had to bear the wrath of a terrifying expert, which was enough to bring disaster to the Dragon Diagram Royal Family.
On second thought, Chen Zong might have joined a powerful force that had been hidden from the world, and there might be countless masters in that force.
The Third Prince might be good, but the Guardian King wasn't that stupid to bear the wrath of a terrifying expert for the Third Prince.
No gratitude or resentment, this was the best way to deal with it.
"In the future, the Reigning Sword Sect can develop in peace. If you have any requests, you can raise them now. As long as they don't affect the stability of the Longtu Empire, I will agree to them." The Town Guardian King added.
"Earth Spirit Mountain shall be returned to the Unhindered Sword Sect." Chen Zong changed his mind and said, "In addition, the Zonghu Sword Sect has been suppressed by the Third Prince for many years and has suffered heavy losses. How would you like to compensate us?"
"Don't worry, when I return to the imperial city, I will immediately arrange it. You will be satisfied." The Town Guardian King said.
The conversation seemed to be very pleasant, but the Town Guardian King was very sullen and helpless in his heart.
For the Dragon Diagram Royal Family to prosper, some compromises that didn't harm the foundation were necessary.
Chen Zong didn't have to worry about the Town Guardian King's attitude.
"Town Guardian King, please." Chen Zong said without any trace of politeness.
Elder Cang Xuan released his pressure on the Town Guardian King.
"Goodbye." As his voice faded, the Town Guardian King's figure had already rushed out of the Zonghu Sword Hall like a bird that had just escaped from its cage.
"You two, it seems that your memory isn't very good." Chen Zong appeared in front of the sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect and said with a faint smile, but a trace of chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Under elder Cang Xuan's pressure, the sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect couldn't move at all. They couldn't even open their mouths to speak. They could only look at Chen Zong with pleading eyes, hoping that Chen Zong would let them go.
"Elder, do you have any methods to control them?" Chen Zong looked towards elder Cang Xuan and asked, "I want them to atone for their sins and become protectors of the Zonghu Sword Sect, protecting and protecting the sect's development."
In the beginning, Chen Zong did indeed want to kill the two of them, but on second thought, instead of killing them, he might as well make use of them and let them work for the Sword Sect. After all, the two of them were experts at the seventh layer of the Extreme Mortal stage and cultivated mid grade Spirit arts. They weren't weak.
Of course, if he didn't have any effective methods to guarantee it, Chen Zong would rather kill them.
"In my early years, I obtained a secret technique called the Lesser Spirit Manipulation Art. It can plant a Spirit Seed in another person's Knowledge Sea, and their life and death can be decided with a single thought." Elder Cang Xuan did not avoid the topic and directly said, "This secret technique is most suitable for you because your Spiritual Sense is stronger than theirs. If they want to remove this secret technique, their Spiritual Sense must be twice as strong as yours."
Chen Zong could not help but nod. Compared to ordinary Extreme Mortal stage experts, his Spiritual Sense was indeed very strong, comparable to those at the ninth layer of the Extreme Mortal stage. In fact, it was even slightly purer.
The sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect were both at the seventh layer of the Extreme Mortal stage, and their Spiritual Senses were completely inferior to Chen Zong's.
Elder Cang Xuan quickly passed the Lesser Spirit Manipulation Art to Chen Zong. Chen Zong's comprehension was astonishing, and it didn't take long for him to comprehend it. With his powerful Spiritual Sense, it took him less than half a day to master the Lesser Spirit Manipulation Art.
"Open up your Knowledge Sea and don't resist. Otherwise, I will kill you." Chen Zong's gaze was indifferent as he stared at the sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect, unhurriedly stating the facts that could happen.
The sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect were extremely unwilling to be enslaved like this. From now on, they would become the protectors of the Unhindered Sword Sect, protecting and protecting the development of the Unhindered Sword Sect. This made them, who were used to giving orders from above, extremely unhappy.
However, the two of them cherished their lives very much.
Between the two, they ultimately chose their own lives. They opened up their Knowledge Sea and did not dare to resist in the slightest, because the terrifying Profound Heaven stage expert was staring at them from the side.
With his powerful Spiritual Sense, Chen Zong successfully planted a Spirit Seed with the two's obedient cooperation. The Spirit Seed was entrenched in the two's minds. With a thought, the Spirit Seed began to wildly beat like a heart. As it contracted and expanded, it caused the sect master and first elder of the Wanluo Sect to have a splitting headache, as if their heads were about to explode.
Wave after wave of explosive pain struck them, making them wish they were dead. The two of them rolled on the ground, holding their heads with both hands, constantly struggling and wailing. Seeing this, the faces of the people around them turned pale and cold sweat dripped down their backs.
After a full thirty breaths of time, Chen Zong finally stopped. His eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "Looks like the effect is not bad. Protect the Unhindered Sword Sect well. If you have second thoughts, you will suffer ten times more."
The two of them had not completely recovered from the pain. They felt their brains twitching, as if countless voices were buzzing in their heads, making them unable to concentrate.
They finally understood what it meant to wish they were dead. At that moment, they really wanted to smash their own heads open.
Seeing the fear and obedience in the two's eyes, Chen Zong could not help but secretly smile. This Lesser Spirit Control Art was indeed good. Of course, it was only good for him. If it was used on other warriors, it might not be so good. After all, it could only enslave people whose Spiritual Senses were weaker than his own.
Not every warrior's Spiritual Senses were stronger than others. After all, they were the minority.
Of course, Chen Zong did not like to walk the path of controlling others. That was not his Dao. However, for the development of the Unhindered Sword Sect, sometimes he had to do it. It was also according to his own wishes.
There was only one way to remove the effects of the Lesser Spirit Control Art. That was for the Wanluo Sect leader and grand elder to have Spiritual Senses twice as strong as Chen Zong's. That was impossible.
The two of them had reached the Seventh Tier of the Extreme Mortal Stage, which was basically the limit. However, Chen Zong could still continue to improve, and his Spiritual Senses would continue to strengthen.
As for killing Chen Zong, if Chen Zong died, the Spiritual Seeds in their heads would also explode. At that time, they would also die.
Earth Spirit Mountain returned to the Unhindered Sword Sect. The guardian king had also sent over a batch of rich cultivation resources.
"Chen Zong, this matter is over. It's time to leave." Grand elder Cang Xuan urged once again.
"Wait a moment, grand elder. I will leave after seeing a friend." Chen Zong smiled.
The friend he was referring to was the ninth prince.
Yu Wuya left the Unhindered Sword Sect as fast as he could, returning to the Dragon Reflection Imperial City to see the ninth prince and report the matter in detail. The ninth prince was shocked beyond words.
Soon after, he personally rushed to the Unhindered Sword Sect to see Chen Zong.
"Back then, I already felt that brother Chen was an extraordinary person. Sure enough, you have already soared through the nine heavens." The ninth prince raised his cup as he smiled.
"It's just that my luck was good and I obtained some opportunities." Chen Zong smiled modestly. "But ninth prince, now that you no longer have the third prince as your opponent, the position of crown prince should be in the bag."
As a prince, the biggest competition was the position of crown prince. The third prince and the ninth prince were the strongest competitors. However, the ninth prince was later suppressed by the third prince, and the situation was almost settled.
Now that the third prince was dead, the ninth prince took advantage of the situation to rise up.
"Third brother was wrong from the beginning." The ninth prince's expression was somewhat gloomy as he shook his head and sighed softly.
The two chatted for a long night, before the ninth prince left with Yu Wuya and returned to the imperial city.
The sky gradually brightened as a golden red sun rose from the eastern horizon, bringing with it life and hope as it sprinkled over the Unhindered Mountain, bathing and awakening all living things.
"Grand elder, sect master and elders, I have to leave." Chen Zong said.
"Your path is vast and boundless. Go." Although Yuan Lingzi was reluctant, he knew that he could not keep Chen Zong here. He was like a true dragon of the nine heavens, soaring in the sky and only occasionally landing to rest.
"Farewell, grand elder Yuan Jianzi." Under the lead of sect master Lin Zhonghan and the elders, the Unhindered Sword Sect disciples bowed and sent Chen Zong off with their gazes.
Elder Cang Xuan swept up Chen Zong and soared into the sky under everyone's gazes. In an instant, they turned into a stream of light and disappeared before everyone's eyes, leaving behind countless exclamations and a legend that the disciples took delight in talking about.
