Sword Pavilion's Corruption
Lu Xing led more than eight hundred people and left the plaza with large strides. However, that ear-piercing voice was still echoing in Shi Hao's mind, making his entire face become incomparably sinister.
"Sword Master Yangchen, Lu Xing is only a law enforcement disciple. Why do you and I have to fear him?" Shi Hao finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. With Qi Yangchen's strength and status, he could easily crush Lu Xing. He didn't understand why Qi Yangchen was enduring so much.
"Idiot!"
When Qi Yangchen heard Shi Hao's words, his face was full of ridicule. With a mocking tone, he said, "Lu Xing is Fan Wuchen's personal disciple and the leader of the Blood Clad Guards. Ever since he entered the sect, he has been selfless and ruthless. He symbolizes the word 'law'.
"Right now, Wanjian Pavilion is in a weakened state. All of the sword masters are searching for cultivation resources and organizing internal affairs. The law enforcement faction is the same. Because of this, all matters of law enforcement have been handed over to Lu Xing to handle.
"This is an order personally passed down by the pavilion master. All of the sword masters and inner disciples have no objections. Someone as laughable as you actually dares to say that Lu Xing is only a law enforcement disciple?"
Qi Yangchen's words made Shi Hao feel a bit embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but Qi Yangchen continued to berate, "Moreover, escorting Ning Lefan's group of seven out of Myriad Peak Cliff doesn't seem to be the pavilion master's order, right?"
When these words were spoken, Shi Hao's entire face became pale, and his body continuously trembled. He lowered his head and replied, "The pavilion master wanted me to force out the sword scripture's method. For the sake of completing the mission, I had no choice but to escort those seven out of Myriad Peak Cliff.
"Moreover, by doing this, I could better incite the three thousand disciples and have more people become my disciples and work for the pavilion master. As for violating the law, I didn't notice it at all."
Shi Hao's eyes were full of panic. When he raised his head, he saw Qi Yangchen's cold face full of ridicule.
Towards this, Shi Hao lowered his head again, not daring to directly look at it.
"It's a good thing that you remember the Pavilion Master's order, but I hope that you can understand your own identity. You're just a substitute. Your purpose is to fill the vacancy left by Luo Yun."
Qi Yang shot a glance at Shi Hao and immediately withdrew his gaze. With a smile, he said, "You definitely cannot act recklessly. Otherwise, you might not even know how you died."
After saying that, Qi Yang's body slowly floated in the air. With a commanding tone, he said, "Now, immediately arrange for these people to deal with the matters of the outer sect. Let the entire outer sect run again. If they dare to slack off in the slightest …"
Qi Yangchen did not say the last sentence for a long time, but the coldness in his eyes said it all.
Looking at Qi Yangchen's departing figure, Shi Hao's face twitched fiercely. His fists involuntarily clenched tightly as he said hatefully in his heart, "Luo Yun, it's Luo Yun again. As long as this person doesn't die, I, Shi Hao, will never be able to show my face."
"If there is a chance, I will definitely kill this person myself. Only then will the world know that I, Shi Hao, am also a sword dao genius that only appears once in a thousand years. I am definitely not Luo Yun's substitute!"
Shi Hao silently swore in his heart. He raised his gaze and coldly stared at the rolling dark clouds in the sky. His heart was filled with killing intent.
At this moment, under Lu Xing's personal escort, Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others had already returned to Myriad Peak Cliff.
Whistling sounds rang through the air and fierce winds swept past, blowing on everyone's bodies. Quite a few disciples released muffled groans, but there was not a trace of regret in their eyes.
It was just as they said. If not for Chu Xingyun, right now, they might still be one of the boundless outer sect disciples. They did not have any cultivation resources and no one to guide them. They lived in a muddle-headed state.
Since they made their choice and were not willing to submit to Shi Hao's tyranny, they would not regret it. They would not let down the kindness Chu Xingyun showed them.
The disciples' unswerving determination was something that Lu Qingxuan, Ning Lefan, and the others personally experienced. They all revealed smiles on their faces. Of the three thousand disciples, only eight hundred remained. Even though the number was small, these eight hundred people were not cowards. They were absolutely loyal.
"Thank you for what you did just now." Lu Qingxuan also had a smile on her face. After releasing a slight breath of relief, she looked towards Lu Xing with gratitude. Just now, if not for Lu Xing, even more people would have died. The scene would have been even more bloody and cruel.
"Don't misunderstand. Everything I did just now was according to the law." There was no expression on Lu Xing's face. He did not look towards Lu Qingxuan and instead looked at the eight hundred disciples. He sighed inwardly.
Of the three thousand disciples, only eight hundred remained. The others, for the sake of not suffering the torment of the astral winds, chose to pay their respects to Shi Hao and continue to live. They even became Shi Hao's claws and teeth.
This type of result truly made one sigh.
In reality, ever since he returned to Wanjian Pavilion, Lu Xing had seen many things like this. The great sword masters, for the sake of reestablishing their own powers, all ignored the sect rules and plundered resources from all sides, seizing them by force.
Even his master, the one in charge of the law enforcement faction, Fan Wuchen, was like this.
At this very moment, Wanjian Pavilion was already in a foul atmosphere. There was no order like before. When Lu Xing faced Shi Hao, he could still display the might of the law, but when faced with the sword masters and even Fan Wujie, he was powerless.
"You have already done your best. You don't have to feel guilty." Lu Qingxuan understood Lu Xing's upright nature. When she saw the latter's face full of helplessness, she couldn't help but comfort him.
"If not for you abiding by the law, the current Wanjian Pavilion might be even more unbearable and chaotic. You did nothing wrong. The ones who are wrong are those who are greedy for benefits. You don't have to blame yourself for this." Shui Qianyue also spoke out and nodded heavily towards Lu Xing.
"Perhaps." Lu Xing didn't completely feel relieved because of the two women's comfort. His figure flashed and stood in front of Myriad Peak Cliff. He looked at the sky and said to himself, "The law is unshakable. It's a pity that with my current strength, I can't clean up the chaotic situation in Wanjian Pavilion at all."
"If I can clean up everything and start all over again, it might not be a bad thing …"
The last sentence was very weak. Other than Lu Xing himself, no one else could hear it clearly. However, they could feel the deep helplessness in Lu Xing's sigh.
Indeed, although Wanjian Pavilion still existed, it already existed in name only. Everyone only cared about their own interests.
Although they were now at Myriad Peak Cliff and had to suffer the pain of the astral winds day and night, at the same time, they were also lucky. They didn't have to personally see Wanjian Pavilion decline and become rotten.
What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
