The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1603 - 1600 The Furious Sword Venerable!

Chapter 1603: Chapter 1600 The Furious Sword Venerable!

Qi Xuan heard that he was being stripped of his title as Junior Sword Venerate, and Elder Chen heard that his status as the Peak Elder was being abolished, both were immediately dumbstruck, their faces a picture of shock and fear as they looked up at Gui Jing!

Abolishing the title of Junior Sword Venerate was equivalent to cutting off Qi Xuan’s future!

All the thoughts and efforts Qi Xuan had invested, the hardships he had endured to reach the position of Junior Sword Venerate, and now, with just one command from the Sword Master, Qi Xuan’s prospects were utterly destroyed!

And for Elder Chen, it was even more tragic. Abolishing the status of Peak Elder essentially stripped Elder Chen of all glory and position within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, reducing him to an Inner Gate Elder with no power or influence!

"Qi Xuan, the Junior Sword Venerate, has been deprived of his title!"

"Good heavens... Is the Sword Master really that ruthless?"

"That was the position of Junior Sword Venerate, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, on par with the Crown Prince of the Seventy-two Dynasties, he was an unrivalled dragon among men on the Lingnan Continent! To be stripped of his title just like that!"

Not only Qi Xuan and Elder Chen were astonished.

The two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators present were also exclaiming in shock!

When Sui An heard this, he did not show much emotion and remained silent.

Above the clouds, the more than fifty Peak Elders furrowed their brows, their expressions showing a hint of introspection!

"As for you... Lin Bai!" After announcing the punishment for Qi Xuan and Elder Chen, Gui Jing’s gaze turned toward Lin Bai, with an especially sinister look, his voice nearly roaring:

"You! Lin Bai! Repeatedly defying the commands of the Sword Master, this time even openly attacking a fellow disciple on Martial God Mountain, committing a heinous crime!"

Gui Jing’s expression turned ferocious as he glared at Lin Bai, his Eyes blazing with rage.

This demeanor seemed to imply that Lin Bai’s punishment was even heavier than that of Qi Xuan and Elder Chen.

"It’s over, looking at how Elder Gui Jing is behaving, Lin Bai’s crime seems even greater."

"Could it be? In a single day, is the Sword Master going to strip the titles of two Junior Sword Venerates?"

"However, Brothers, come to think of it, if two Junior Sword Venerate positions are vacated, maybe our chances will be greater."

"Exactly, with two Junior Sword Venerate positions open, if we could step up to become Junior Sword Venerates, then we would become the elite of the Lingnan Continent!"

At this moment, the expressions of the two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators present varied, with surprise, glee, confusion, and some showing smug smiles!

As Gui Jing announced the punishments for Qi Xuan and Elder Chen, Sui An’s expression was calm.

And now, as the punishment for Lin Bai was announced, Sui An remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

The Sword Cultivators from Fairy Cave Mountain, like Nie Xiong and Luo Xuan, also had a sudden change in expression and hurriedly said, "Elder Gui Jing, even if Senior Brother Dongfang is wrong, he was also forced into it!"

Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask the Sect to show leniency in the punishment!"

All the Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect knew how difficult and arduous it was to reach the position of Junior Sword Venerate.

At this moment, the Sword Cultivators from Fairy Cave Mountain did not want Lin Bai to be stripped of his title as Junior Sword Venerate over this incident!

"Do you acknowledge your guilt?" Gui Jing asked coldly.

Lin Bai solemnly clasped his hands together: "Disciple acknowledges his mistakes."

"Good that you know your wrongdoing. Come with me to Sword Master Peak, the Sword Master wants to see you!" Gui Jing said coldly.

"Yes!" Lin Bai responded.

Gui Jing withdrew his gaze from Lin Bai and smilingly turned to Sui An, saying, "Elder Sui An, the Sword Master heard that you have come out of seclusion and is overjoyed, he invites you to Sword Master Peak."

Sui An nodded slightly: "Once I am done here, I shall indeed return to Sword Master Peak to see him."

Gui Jing laughed lightly: "In that case, I will take Dongfang Bai with me first."

Sui An nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Gui Jing and Lin Bai both soared into the sky, leaving Martial God Mountain.

"Senior Brother Dongfang!" Nie Xiong, Luo Xuan and others looked at Lin Bai with some worry. From Gui Jing’s recent words, it seemed they had discerned that the Sect Leader was furiously incensed and would probably not let Dongfang Bai off easily.

In mid-air, Lin Bai turned back to look at Nie Xiong and the others, smiling lightly, "Go back to Little Spirit Stream. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me."

"Meng Chunrui, return Li Chou’s sword to him. If you don’t return it, once I come down from Sword Master Peak, I will come looking for you!"

Lin Bai glared fiercely at a stunned Meng Chunrui. Hearing Lin Bai’s icy voice, Meng Chunrui dared not retort and hurriedly retrieved Li Chou’s great sword from his Storage Bag, apologizing repeatedly!

Afterward, Lin Bai went to Sword Master Peak with Gui Jing.

As Lin Bai departed, Sui An and the other Peak Elders also left in turn.

Meanwhile, Qi Xuan was helped up by Meng Chunrui and returned to Qimen’s base of operations!

Atop Sword Master Peak.

Lin Bai and Gui Jing landed in the plaza.

Lin Bai raised his head to look at the imposing Sword Master Hall. At this moment, Lin Bai distinctly felt an intense Sword Intention lingering between the hall, which conferred an even greater majestic aura to an already imposing building, almost commanding one not to look directly!

"Let’s go," Gui Jing said coldly, leading the way into the Sword Master Hall.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and silently followed.

Entering the Sword Master Hall, Lin Bai looked up and saw the Sect Leader, clad in a black robe, sitting in a high position, glaring at Lin Bai with fire in his eyes. An aura of terrifying Sword Intention was gathering around him, as if he had transformed into an unsheathed Sharp Sword about to shatter the heavens!

"Such powerful Sword Intention! He must have cultivated it to the Realm of Comprehension, at least to a minor completion," Lin Bai thought to himself, following behind Gui Jing, feeling perturbed by the Sword Venerable’s Sword Intention, his gaze somewhat astonished.

Minor completion of the Realm of Comprehension refers to a state after the early, middle, and late stages of cultivation, an extraordinary realm where every move follows the great momentum of the Earth and sky!

A warrior who has cultivated to the minor completion Realm of Comprehension can be considered a grandmaster of their generation!

"Sect Leader Sword Master, Dongfang Bai has been brought here!" announced Gui Jing in a soft voice.

"Disciple Dongfang Bai, greets Sect Leader Sword Master!"

Lin Bai clasped his hands, bent forward in a respectful bow!

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader stood up from his chair immediately, and a burst of Sword Intention erupted, pressing down on Lin Bai like a heavy mountain, causing Lin Bai’s complexion to instantly pale, and his expression to turn to shock!

This Sword Intention even burst forth from the Sword Master Hall, spreading throughout the entire Jianyun Mountain Range.

All the Sword Cultivators in Jianyun Mountain Range felt an overpowering Sword Intention at this moment, shivering uncontrollably, their gazes looking towards the direction of Sword Master Peak with reverence.

Sui An and the other Peak Elders, too, were standing atop their own Mountain Peaks with furrowed brows, looking towards Sword Master Peak with concern.

But there was one Elder, who stood on his peak with a hint of a smile on his lips: "This is the Sword Intention of the Sword Venerable... truly formidable!"

"No wonder the Sword Venerable is acclaimed as the man who can change the landscape of Lingnan. Compared to the Demon Lord of the Valley of Demons, probably even more powerful!"

"Dongfang Bai has repeatedly transgressed the Sword Master’s orders; this time Gui Jing brings him to Sword Master Peak, it’s unlikely that the Sword Master will easily forgive him."

"But after all, Dongfang Bai is one of the nine Monster-level Geniuses of the Lingnan Continent, and also the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate. Even in a rage, the Sword Master would at most strip Dongfang Bai of his position as Junior Sword Venerate, and won’t kill him!"

"It seems if Dongfang Bai is to die, I must take action myself..." muttered the Elder coldly, "However, it appears that Qi Xuan may be a useful pawn right now!"

Having said that, the Elder left his residence and headed straight for the location of Qimen.
