Chapter 430: Chapter 9 Gathering Swords [Ask for Monthly Tickets!]_1
Jiang Yuebai left in a hurry.
After she parted ways with Chu Liang, she led the lady to the temporary sanctuary provided by the Tang Family. Because she later learned that Chu Liang had barged into the City Warden Office and been arrested, she immediately rushed back to Shu Mountain that very night.
With some thought, she could guess Chu Liang’s intention.
Now that they had ironclad evidence, what they needed to guard against was the city lord’s attempts to suppress this matter with autocratic might. As long as they had the support of their Elders from the Sect, even if the city lord was immensely powerful, he could not interfere with the matters of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, albeit merely a sect, were capable of sitting down and negotiating terms with the Xia Clan’s Royal Family. For these imperial court officials to attempt to intimidate a cult was sheer wishful thinking.
In a certain sense, these cultivators who transcended worldly affairs were overseers operating outside the constraints of law and order, like a hanging sword over the heads of court officials.
Although the Yu Dynasty had been striving to regulate the behavior of the cultivators for many years, the greatest call from the Imperial Court regarding such acts of righteous vigilantism was to communicate more with the Regent Residence and manage affairs through the Imperial Court and not bypass legal channels to punish the wicked and promote the good.
An outright ban was impossible.
After rushing back to Shu Mountain all the way, she first stopped at the Silver Sword Peak, discovering that Empress Feng had yet to return.
There were not many people in Shu Mountain who had a good relationship with Empress Feng. The first was her own master, who was also in seclusion at the moment, and the second... was difficult to find. Thankfully, Jiang Yuebai had once heard her master mention someone.
Law Enforcement Elder Tian Lingxin.
Not many youngsters in Shu Mountain knew about the fact that Empress Feng had grown up with the Law Enforcement Elder. Counting, she could be considered as the grandmother of Chu Liang... and thus the great-grandmother of Xu Hongqiu. One shouldn’t think too deeply about this.
When Jiang Yuebai went to the Law Enforcement Hall, Law Enforcement Elder Tian Lingxin was disciplining someone... even though it was just dawn.
This was her daily routine.
Any disciple from any peak who did not comply with Shu Mountain rules would face her wrath. Instead of personally disciplining the disciples, she would call the respective Peak Masters for a lecture; if any deacon or disciple in the Law Enforcement Hall wasn’t doing well, she would call them over for a talking-to. Even if Master Wen Yuan broke the rules somewhere, she would not hesitate to chastise him.
Because of her temper, even Master Wen Yuan refrained from talking back to her.
She always dressed entirely in black, her gray hair was meticulously styled behind her, and her eyes possessed the sharp edge of a sword. Wherever her gaze fell, everyone on Shu Mountain trembled a little.
But Jiang Yuebao wasn’t afraid. She was the kind of girl that all the elders loved, having been spoiled by them since she was a child... Of course, not only the elders loved her.
"What’s the matter?" Seeing Jiang Yuebai suddenly coming over, the Law Enforcement Elder quickly put aside her tasks and immediately turned her attention to her.
"Disciple has urgent news." Jiang Yuebai said.
Then she spoke of what they discovered in Wu’an City and how Chu Liang was now detained in City Warden Office.
After listening, the Law Enforcement Elder gave a calm nod: "Don’t worry."
With that, she stood up, leading Jiang Yuebai out of the Law Enforcement Hall.
They arrived at the vast plaza of Tontian Peak, where she raised her hand and shot out a Jade Talisman. With a swoosh, a light shaped like a flying sword shot up into the sky!
Jiang Yuebai was slightly stunned.
That was the Sword Assembly Token!
After the disciples of Shu Mountain reached a bottleneck in their cultivation advancement, many would choose to leave the sect to seek their own development. On one hand, the resources of Shu Mountain were not enough to sustain so many high-ranking cultivators. On the other hand, staying too long within the comfort of the Immortal Sect would also limit their opportunities for significant breakthroughs.
However, these departed disciples were ultimately still part of Shu Mountain, and they would each be given a Sword Assembly Token when they left.
Only the Sect Leader and the four Zhenshan Elders have the right to initiate the Sword Assembly Token.
If the Sect needed to muster its forces, they only needed to issue a corresponding Sword Assembly Token, and the Shu Mountain disciples scattered all over would gather in response.
But the Sword Assembly Token would not be easily issued. Ordinary missions only required young disciples to gain experience. The older generation could handle more complex matters. Only during large scale battles would so many Fifth Realm and Sixth Realm cultivators be mobilized.
Jiang Yuebai recognized it because a Sword Assembly Token was also issued during the Shu Mountain Peak Conference. However, due to the abrupt commencement and conclusion of the great battle, many elder disciples only arrived towards the end when they heeded the call.
There are different ranks for the Sword Assembly Token. The one issued during the great battle of Shu Mountain was naturally the highest rank, where all disciples of Shu Mountain under the heavens and earth were called for swift support.
The Sword Assembly Token issued at this time was only of the third rank, summoning idle disciples within a thousand miles to return to the mountain.
However, for a young disciple like Chu Liang, this level of mobilization was already extremely high!
If he was just an ordinary disciple, he would never receive such treatment. But he is also the Sword Master of Shu Mountain’s Purple Green Double Swords, whose well-being was crucial.
Therefore, the Law Enforcement Elder had to take a stance like this, probably also to intimidate.
A Flying Sword!
Shortly after, more than a dozen sword lights fell onto Tontian Peak, each one of them was an elder disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, all excited: "Is it Law Enforcement Elder? Is it time for a battle again?"
The talents of these elder disciples may not necessarily surpass the younger generation, but they prevailed by having reached the peak of cultivation, where the fifth realm cultivation was considered weak amongst them.
Waited for less than an hour, and about eighty or ninety people have arrived.
Although the number of people is not a lot, but these were nearly hundreds of mainstream cultivators from the Fifth and Sixth Realms! Any one of them was enough to be a powerhouse on their own.
"We won’t wait any longer." The Law Enforcement Elder saw that it was almost time, and he suddenly rose into the sky, announcing loudly: "A fellow Shu Mountain Sect member requires aid in Wu’an City, let’s go save him!"
The disciples responded in unison.
With this lineup, it was more than enough to not only save people, but even take over Wu’an City.
At that moment, nearly a hundred brilliant sword auras rose into the sky like a colorful cloud, heading southeast in a grand manner!
Jiang Yuebai followed closely by the side of the Law Enforcement Elder. Although there was no expression on his face, he was worried in his heart: "Chu Liang, you must be careful."
...
"Be careful, be careful." The bald giant leaned against the corner, quietly scolding the henchmen, "Don’t wake that Sha Star up."
Everyone in the prison was resting on their straw mats, including Chu Liang, who was lying alone on one side. The bald giant didn’t dare to sleep. He only dared to relax a bit when Chu Liang was asleep.
If Chu Liang slightly turned over, he would immediately have to kneel again.
This kind of bully who always tyrannizes people naturally has rich experience when being bullied.
He had been using the vitality all over his body to heal, and after a long night, the wound on his severed arm was finally quelled. But with his insignificant cultivation ability, regeneration in a short time was impossible, he could only wait for it to heal slowly over time.
Just as he was catching his breath, and about to take a small nap, an explosion suddenly came from his side!
Boom——
The source of the explosion whizzed past his eyes. It was a giant fist that was bigger than his head!
Everyone in the cell was suddenly awakened, and then a fighting noise was heard outside, but it soon disappeared. It seemed that the City Warden Prison Guards were quickly subdued.
This punch has already shattered the array runes on the wall, and a massive body crashed in, it was a giant taller than the cell itself.
His skin was greyish-green, as if it was made of rock, and his muscles resembled rugged landscapes. His appearance was not different from that of a human, and his facial features all resembled those of a rude man, just enlarged proportionately.
The giant lowered his face, stared with big eyes at the "small" prisoners on the ground, and grunted: "Think tank?"
The prisoners should have taken the opportunity to escape, but no one dared to move under the giant’s stare, they were all trembling silently.
But the slender middle-aged man who had greeted Chu Liang earlier stood up and quickly said, "I’m here".
"Hey." The giant grinned, lifted the middle-aged man with one hand, "Let’s go, the City Warden’s reinforcements should be here soon."
"Wait..." the middle-aged man was unable to resist being held by the giant. He stretched out his two hands as best he could, pointing to the bald...giant, "Break his limbs."
"Ah?" The bald giant was immediately startled.
Who could have thought that the middle-aged man, who was always respectful and never resisted when he was bullied, had such great power?
It was too late for him to beg for mercy. In front of the giant, his proud physique and divine power were worthless. The giant didn’t ask why. He put down the middle-aged man, one hand grabbed the fleeing bald giant, and his other large hand casually tore off the bald giant’s limbs, blood splattered everywhere!
And the giant, like a child tormenting insects, was indifferent.
Only then did the skinny middle-aged man show satisfaction. As the giant was about to leave with him, he pointed to Chu Liang who was watching the excitement: "Take this brother with us."
Chu Liang: "Hmm?"
