I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 332 - 332 307 The Terrifying Jiang He

Chapter 332: Chapter 307: The Terrifying Jiang He! Chapter 332: Chapter 307: The Terrifying Jiang He! “This is not about damaging the rules of Jianghu, Gu Chun has violated the laws of the Great Jin. His offspring attempted to assassinate a court official, which is a crime of negligence. He himself does not cultivate virtue,

and yet he dares to disregard the court and brazenly attack a court official. If nothing is done, how can Jiang He convince the masses?”

Jiang He replied indifferently.

Gu Chun took a deep breath, “Golden Envoy Jiang must know that it was Chen Yuan who killed my son without cause. As for his claim that my son attempted to kill him first, who can bear witness to this?”

“Such a ruthless official who is not dealt with is the true damage to the court’s authority.”

“Is it your place to speak?”

Jiang He glanced at him coldly, causing Gu Chun’s heart to jump, and he involuntarily sensed an ominous killing intent brewing, prompting him to look at Xiao Yusheng.

What met his gaze was Xiao Yusheng’s tranquil countenance.

Just as he was about to say something in a fit of anger, he suddenly saw Jiang He looking towards the southeast:

“Could it be that I need to personally extend an invitation?”

Someone else was there?!

Apart from Xiao Yusheng, who had an indifferent look, Chen Yuan and Gu Chun were once more startled. For Chen Yuan, it wasn’t too unusual, given the vast gap between him and several others present.

It was normal for him to not notice.

Of course, he had previously used the Heavenly Eye Technique to scout the area, and had not discovered anything.

But for Gu Chun, this was somewhat of a defeat. Being of the same Core Realm Cultivation, he hadn’t sensed even the slightest movement that others had detected, which was quite an affront to his status.

He had thought that only he knew, and had put on a facade of being superior and indifferent; however, in reality, those who were hidden earlier probably saw him as a fool.

And Jiang He was simply waiting for him to show himself!

Frustration!

He felt extremely frustrated.

“Amitabha, why must Golden Envoy Jiang be so insistent? I, the poor monk, was merely passing by and happened to see Gu Chun seem to plan something against Chen Chun,

and I intended to stop him.”

With the chant of Buddha’s name, the identity of the newcomer was revealed—it was a corpulent monk with nine ring scars on his head and a mole near the corner of his mouth, his facial features forming an image of the character ‘囧’.

A string of gold Buddha Beads hung around his neck, with his hands pressed together in prayer.

“So it’s Master Guang Liang.”

Xiao Yusheng nodded slightly in greeting.

“I have seen the Master.” An earnest expression flickered across Gu Chun’s face.

With the arrival of this individual, his confidence sored. Guang Liang hailed from Bright Temple and, by seniority, was the teacher of Monk Jingxin. It seemed he too was prepared to suppress Chen Yuan.

“I have seen everyone.”

Guang Liang Monk returned the greetings with one hand clasped, and when his gaze shifted to Chen Yuan, he added, “Master Chen, I come from Bright Temple, and Jingxin is my nephew in the Dharma.”

“How fortuitous.”

Chen Yuan replied, his mind pondering over Jiang He’s intentions, for calling out everyone involved in his capture—three Dan Realm Masters! Did he have other supporters?

Was he confident…

Moreover, the opposition seemed to overestimate him. A dispute in the Reach Profound Realm had drawn out four Dan Realm Masters, two of whom were figures on the Fengyun List.

This was nothing like the cliched novels he’d read in his previous life, where normally such pursuits involved enemies lining up to be decapitated one by one.

Now how…

Perhaps noticing the fleeting concern in Chen Yuan’s eyes, Guang Liang Monk smiled faintly and explained:

“Master Chen need not worry. My purpose here is not to avenge my nephew Jingxin. Conflicts and life-or-death struggles within the same realm are common occurrences—we can only say Master Chen was simply more skilled.”

“I am here en route to recite sutras for the repose of my nephew Jingxin’s soul, and it just so happened that I saw Master Gu Chun preparing to seek vengeance for his son.”

Chen Yuan responded with a smile, “The high monks of Bright Temple are indeed magnanimous, and not all rumors from the outside should be believed.”

But inside, he chuckled coldly, “I trust you not at all, you crafty old monk. You think I’m a child of three? That you can fool me with just a few words?

A coincidence, how many coincidences can there be in the world? It’s all a long-standing plot.”

While both maintained composure on the surface, Gu Chun on the side was a bit dumbfounded—he’d thought Guang Liang Monk’s intentions were the same as his own!

How could this be?

No, it must be that the Monk, upon seeing Jiang He, had decided to back off.

This was normal. If not for the subsequent appearances of Xiao Yusheng and Guang Liang, he would definitely have retreated earlier as well. Revenge could wait, but he only had one life to live.

Jiang He was too strong; Gu Chun did not stand a chance.

This must also apply to Guang Liang Monk, who was stronger than Gu Chun, yet likely still weaker compared to Jiang He.

But…

It wasn’t like they were facing Jiang He on their own now. Three Dan Realm Masters united, and he didn’t believe Jiang He truly wanted to risk everything for Chen Yuan!

There was no deep connection between them; if Jiang He showed up, it was probably because the matter had caused an uproar, and he had to intervene to settle the situation.

Yes, that must be it!

Gu Hao consoled himself with these thoughts.

Then, after some contemplation, he stood out and said to Guang Liang Monk:

“Master Guang Liang is compassionate, and I admire that, but compassion in the Buddhist teachings should also consider the target. It might be acceptable for one with kind intentions, but Chen Yuan is venomous by nature,

having slaughtered countless forces in Nanling Prefecture and even earned the nickname ‘God of Killing.’ And yes, Gold Mountain Monastery fell by his hand.

Such a person, if not removed, will only bring suffering to the common people in the future.”

“Master Gu overstated,”

Guang Liang Monk remained unperturbed, merely smiling.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yusheng sensed something was amiss. Jiang He seemed too calm, mentioning both of them one by one without any change of expression,

Clearly, there were other preparations in place.

Monk Guang Liang perhaps had seen this, which was why he changed his tone with Chen Yuan. Did they really think he, a Dan Realm Master, had nothing better to do than to chant sutras for his junior apprentice-nephew?

It was nothing but a farce.

He then said to Gu Hao, “Elder Gu, your words are somewhat biased. How could we intervene in a dispute at the Reach Profound Realm? How will the Qingyun Sword Sect fend for itself in the future?

If you are dissatisfied with Chen Yuan, you should find a disciple from the sect to challenge him. What kind of example are you setting now as a grandmaster? As the sect leader of Qingyun Sword Sect, it is absolutely impossible for me to lend a hand. You should handle your own affairs.”

Gu Chun turned his head to look at the serious Xiao Yusheng, then glanced at Monk Guang Liang, who was indifferent and not prepared to take action, realizing he had overthought the situation.

Because of Jiang He, they simply didn’t dare to make a move!

And him?

To make a move… would be suicidal, right?

*Sigh…*

Gu Chun let out a long sigh, knowing the situation was beyond recovery. Now was not a good opportunity to kill Chen Yuan, he could only wait until Jiang He let his guard down before he would make his move.

He didn’t believe Jiang He could always stick by Chen Yuan’s side.

When the moment came that Chen Yuan was alone, he had ways to deal with him! Once the deed was done, he could simply hide in the sect for a while if necessary. It was just a subordinate, he truly didn’t believe the other party would dare to attack a top-ranking sect like they had done before.

Watching Gu Chun’s expression, Xiao Yusheng also let out a sigh of relief internally, glad that Gu Chun had at least some sense. He then looked at Jiang He and said,

“Golden Envoy Jiang, I apologize for the offense caused this time, but since it did not lead to a serious disaster, I will make sure Elder Gu cultivates in the mountains for half a year without descending.

With that, are you satisfied, Golden Envoy Jiang?”

There was silence all around as everyone listened for Jiang He’s response. Chen Yuan, who was not far away, was a bit displeased with this outcome but could do nothing about it.

He couldn’t blame Jiang He—the pressure from the three Dan Realm Masters was too great. The fact that he had managed to get this far was already extremely generous. The rest was up to him,

and as long as he had time, he would surely kill Gu Chun!

Hearing his sect master’s somewhat yielding tone, Gu Chun could barely contain his anger. He gave Chen Yuan a deep look, preparing to turn and leave, but just as he was about to move, Jiang He, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke.

His gaze, calm and detached, swept over Gu Chun, Xiao Yusheng, and Monk Guang Liang as he said softly,

“Is that everything?”

Xiao Yusheng instinctively felt a twinge of danger and hastily asked,

“Golden Envoy Jiang, are you not satisfied?”

Gu Chun’s gaze was fixed on Jiang He, but he didn’t speak. It seemed he expected Jiang He to put forward some severe conditions, and he grew even more irritable inside.

Three Dan Realm Masters were actually wary of Jiang He – what a loss of face if this was to be known in Jianghu!

Jiang He looked at Gu Chun with an expression that was serene yet imposing, “Who said you could leave?”

“What more do you want to do, Golden Envoy Jiang?”

Gu Chun snorted coldly.

“To assassinate a court-appointed official is a crime punishable by death. Today, you shall leave your life here.”

His words were light, yet they carried an undeniable authority.

“What did you say?”

Gu Chun looked at him in disbelief, as if he had misheard.

Jiang He was actually going to kill him?

Jiang He actually dared to kill him!

Does the Qingyun Sword Sect not exist in his eyes?

As a powerful elder, if he were to die because of this, the Qingyun Sword Sect would become a laughingstock in Jianghu. With this thought, he looked towards Sect Master Xiao Yusheng.

It was apparent that their side was unwilling to let go. As the sect master, could he still retreat?

As expected, upon hearing Jiang He’s words, Xiao Yusheng’s expression darkened as he said in a low voice,

“Golden Envoy Jiang, there’s no need to be so harsh, is there?”

Monk Guang Liang, with his round eyes, chimed in,

“Buddhists embrace compassion. Although Gu Shi Master intended to assassinate Chen Shi Master and is at fault, he has yet to act, and that is forgivable. Why must Jiang Shi Master be so angry over this?”

“Fighting will only bring harm to the innocent…”

“Why not retract your wrath for now, and let Chen Shi Master and Gu Shi Master turn their weapons into gifts of jade and silk? Wouldn’t that be better?”

Chen Yuan held his breath and fixed his gaze on Jiang He, wanting to see how he would respond and what his backup plan was, showing no regard for the faces of the three Dan Realm Masters.

Or was it perhaps merely tough talk in the end?

However, Chen Yuan soon realized he was mistaken. Jiang He did not continue to bicker with them, but with a single gesture, the heavens within ten miles changed color, the primordial energy trembled, and the earth churned…

Sword Qi of terrifying nihility engulfed everyone in an instant, as if harbouring an ancient ferocious beast.

Sword Array!

Jiang He was setting up a Sword Array!

A long sword, with rust marks and an ancient style, descended from the sky into Jiang He’s hand.

“Harm to the innocents? You overestimate yourselves. Come at me, all of you!”
