Chapter 233 Handling (Please Subscribe)
Taiyi Sword Sect, Fifth Peak.
Zhao Chengzhen waited anxiously in a courtyard halfway up the mountain, silently drinking tea.
Since receiving the letter from the Sword Academy yesterday, he had considered it carefully before finally choosing the Fifth Peak.
There were two reasons for this. First, unlike the Sixth Peak, where disciples came from two different Sword Academies, the Fifth Peak, from elders to disciples, consisted entirely of members from the Shouyi Sword Academy. This meant the elders of the Fifth Peak could make decisions without much hesitation.
But this alone wasn't enough. There were twelve Sword Academies and nine peaks, and many of them occupied their own peaks, such as the Zhengyi Sword Academy and the Mingyi Sword Academy.
The other reason Zhao Chengzhen came to the Fifth Peak was that the Shouyi Sword Academy had practically gotten a spot for free in this Academy Competition. Even if the Shouyi Sword Academy didn't acknowledge Lin Yan's favor, they probably didn't have a bad impression of him.
A quarter of an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate. Qu Xunzhen's expression returned to calm, but his gaze immediately turned towards the courtyard gate.
"Senior Brother Zhao, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
The middle-aged man who entered immediately reassured Zhao Chengzhen after saying this: "I just reported the situation to Elder Yu, and Elder Yu and the others have agreed."
"Really?"
Zhao Chengzhen immediately stood up, but after asking, he felt a little embarrassed. The other party would not joke about such a thing.
"Haha, I understand Senior Brother Zhao's feelings. Elder Yu said that our Shouyi Sword Academy was able to obtain a recommendation spot this time thanks to Chengyi Sword Academy. Since the Sixth Peak doesn't want it, then our Fifth Peak will take it."
Cao Jingnian chuckled as he relayed Elder Yu's words. After his report, Elder Yu made the decision.
The Fifth Peak has three elders. The other two elders are in seclusion, but even if they come out of seclusion and know about this, they will not object to Elder Yu's decision.
"Thank you."
Zhao Chengzhen clasped his hands in thanks. Cao Jingnian smiled and said, "Lin Yan from your academy is the top student in this academy competition. Every peak would want him. But this means that Senior Brother Zhao and your fellow academy members might have a tough time on the Sixth Peak."
"The newest of us from Chengyi Sword Academy have been in the Taiyi Sword Sect for ten years. We don't have many resources to begin with, so it doesn't matter."
Zhao Chengzhen didn't care at all. According to the rules of the Taiyi Sword Sect, those of them who have been in the Taiyi Sword Sect for ten years receive a fixed amount of resources each year. The Sixth Peak wouldn't dare to cut back on that.
As for the additional martial arts resources being abolished, it doesn't matter much. Having more or less of these resources won't guarantee a breakthrough to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
"Senior Brother Zhao's dedication to Cheng Yi Sword Academy is truly admirable."
...
...
Sixth Peak.
At this moment, two elders inside the main hall are playing chess.
"Junior Brother, in your opinion, what will Cheng Yi Sword Academy ultimately decide?" the elder on the left asked.
"Cheng Yi Sword Academy will ultimately have to back down." The white-browed elder on the right smiled slightly, a confident look on his face. "This is the Taiyi Sword Sect. Those six from Cheng Yi Sword Academy can't interfere. If things escalate, the only ones who will suffer are the disciples of Cheng Yi Sword Academy. Those six should understand this."
"Speaking of which, Lin Yan from Cheng Yi Sword Academy is indeed quite talented."
"Senior brother, no matter how talented Lin Yan is, he is still a disciple of Cheng Yi Sword Academy. We still need to keep him in check. This boy shows no mercy to the disciples of our Zhenyi Sword Academy. If we don't show him any respect, he'll probably become even more unruly after entering the Sixth Peak."
"Junior brother's words make sense. If Cheng Yi Sword Academy backs down this time and gives the spot to Xiang Wen, this matter will be over."
"Cheng Yi Sword Academy has no other choice. Today is the last day. I think it won't be long before Cheng Yi Sword Academy sends over the list." The elder on the right put down the white chess piece. "Senior brother, it's your turn to make a move."
"Junior Brother's move has ruined Senior Brother's previous strategy. It seems Junior Brother's chess skills have improved again."
Just as the elder on the left was about to place his piece, a figure rushed in from outside the hall. Upon entering, he immediately bowed and said,
"Elders, a message has arrived from Qijian Hall, requesting that the elders of each peak gather."
"Now?"
The two elders exchanged glances, their eyes showing surprise. After a long pause, the elder on the left pondered, "Junior Brother, you go."
"Alright."
...
Qijian Hall.
When Tian Guangyi arrived at the main hall of Qijian Hall, he found that elders from the other eight peaks had also arrived, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Normally, except for some major events, Qijian Hall would not summon the elders of all nine peaks at once. The biggest event recently was the confirmation of the list of disciples from each academy who would enter the Taiyi Sword Sect after the academy competition.
However, according to past practice, Qijian Hall should have summoned them tomorrow. Why were they summoned a day early today?
"Senior Brother He, do you know why Qijian Hall summoned us today?"
Tian Guangyi asked the elder of the Third Peak, with whom he had a good relationship.
"It should be about the list of disciples entering the sect this year. It doesn't matter if it's a day or a day later. The list has already been confirmed. Perhaps Elder Li has something to do tomorrow and decided to summon everyone today to confirm the list in advance." The
old man beside him spoke slowly. A day or a day later, such a small matter, none of the peaks would refuse Elder Li's face.
Hearing the old man's words, Tian Guangyi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank. The other peaks had all confirmed their quotas, but their Sixth Peak had not yet confirmed.
Although he had previously assured his senior brother that Chengyi Sword Academy would back down, he had not received the final list from Chengyi Sword Academy. If Elder Li asked later, how should he answer?
Should he tell Elder Li that the final list from the Sixth Peak was Lin Yan and Xiang Wen?
But what if Cheng Yi Sword Academy is determined? Even if the possibility is small, if it happens, the list he submitted now would be considered falsified. Even if he's a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, he'll face severe punishment from Qi Jian Hall.
Just as Tian Guangyi's thoughts were racing, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the top of the hall.
The middle-aged man's appearance instantly silenced the elders of each peak.
Although they were all Dharma Aspect Realm experts and called elders, the elders of the nine peaks present knew very well that their Dharma Aspect Realm was different from the other's, and their elder status was also different.
Without special opportunities, the nine of them would only be at the first stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm in their lifetime, while this Elder Li was not yet sixty years old and was already at the second stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Moreover, given Elder Li's age, it was highly likely that he would step into the third stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, which was beyond their reach.
"Everyone, please sit."
Li Mubai raised his hand, and Tian Guangyi and the other nine people took their seats on both sides.
"The academy competition is over. According to the rules, there are twelve disciple slots. I have business to attend to tomorrow, so I'd appreciate it if you could all submit your disciple lists."
Li Mubai skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point, explaining the purpose of the gathering.
Upon hearing this, the other elders from various peaks remained expressionless, except for Tian Guangyi, whose old eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered how to resolve this predicament.
Soon, Tian Guangyi also came up with a solution.
The Taiyi Sword Sect stipulated that the list should be submitted by tomorrow, so he could easily claim that the Chengyi Sword Academy hadn't finalized its list yet.
Given Elder Li's personality, he was unlikely to actually go to the Taiyi Sword Sect to inquire.
With a solution in mind, Tian Guangyi felt more confident, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Elder Li, this is the list of disciples from my First Peak who entered the peak this time."
An elder from the First Peak's Zhengyi Sword Academy took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which slowly floated upwards. Li Mubai reached out and caught it.
"Elder Li, this is the list for my second peak."
"Elder Li, this is the list for my third peak."
...
Elder Yu Xuange of the fifth peak stood up and took the list out.
Li Mubai took the paper, this time looking at it for a longer time than before, giving Yu Xuange a meaningful look, and then turning his gaze to Tian Guangyi of the sixth peak.
Tian Guangyi stood up with a smile: "Elder Li, the sixth peak hasn't submitted its list yet."
"Oh, the Cheng Yi Sword Academy won first place in this year's academy competition, and they still haven't released their list?"
Hearing Li Mubai's words, Tian Guangyi's old eyes narrowed, but he wasn't too surprised. Elder Li was on duty and responsible for handling the entry of this year's academy competition disciples into the Taiyi Sword Sect, so he would definitely know something about the competition and it was normal for him to know that the Cheng Yi Sword Academy had won first place.
"The Cheng Yi Sword Academy has two spots. The first spot is undoubtedly for Lin Yan, so the second spot should be undecided." Tian Guangyi explained with a smile.
"Is that so? But why did I see the name of a disciple from Cheng Yi Sword Academy on the disciple list of the Fifth Peak just now?"
Li Mubai's tone remained unchanged, but his words caused Tian Guangyi's old eyes to narrow sharply, and his gaze immediately turned to Yu Xuange.
"Junior Brother Tian, if the Sixth Peak doesn't want a genius disciple like Lin Yan, then the Fifth Peak won't be polite. Besides, this is Lin Yan's own choice."
Yu Xuange didn't care about the coldness in Tian Guangyi's eyes at all, and the elders of the other peaks present were also looking at Tian Guangyi and Yu Xuange.
As Dharma Aspect Realm experts, their minds were naturally quick, and they immediately understood what was going on.
The Sixth Peak rejected Lin Yan for some reason, and the Cheng Yi Sword Academy was also firm, directly sending Lin Yan to the Fifth Peak.
The expressions of the other elders present became playful. The Sixth Peak really dared to refuse even Lin Yan?
The first place in the academy competition cannot enter the Taiyi Sword Sect. Isn't this a slap in the face to the Taiyi Sword Sect?
"Elder Li, our Sixth Peak did not reject Lin Yan. We allowed Lin Yan to join the Sixth Peak from beginning to end. However, regarding the other disciple reported by Cheng Yi Sword Academy, our Sixth Peak assessed his potential and felt it might be somewhat lacking. We suggested that Cheng Yi Sword Academy consider it. But if Cheng Yi Sword Academy insists, our Sixth Peak will accept him."
Ignoring Yu Xuange's gaze, Tian Guangyi immediately explained to Li Mubai.
Li Mubai stared coldly at Tian Guangyi, an invisible pressure enveloping him. Even though they were both at the Dharma Aspect Realm, Tian Guangyi's face gradually paled.
The difference between each of the six Dharma Aspect Realms was enormous.
"The quotas for the academy competition are given by the Taiyi Sword Sect to each academy, not for your peaks to use for personal gain. This is the Taiyi Sword Sect, not the academies. Put away your petty thoughts. If you violate this rule again, I will have to enforce the rules of the Qijian Hall."
A few breaths later, the oppressive aura disappeared, and Li Mubai spoke calmly. Hearing this, the eyes of the other elders present became solemn, while Tian Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The two elders of the Sixth Peak are hereby banned from receiving martial arts resources for three years."
However, Li Mubai's next sentence made Tian Guangyi's expression instantly turn ugly again.

Chapter 234 Justice (Please Subscribe)
Outside the Qijian Hall.
Tian Guangyi stood there with a cold expression, his gaze fixed on Yu Xuange as he walked out. Since entering the Dharma
Aspect Realm
, when had he ever been reprimanded like this?
Even though Li Mubai hadn't explicitly stated his intentions, for a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, this was an utter humiliation.
"Junior Brother Yu!"
"What is it, Senior Brother Tian?"
Yu Xuange's expression was indifferent; he had anticipated this scene.
"You, Shouyi Sword Academy, have overstepped your bounds."
"Overstepped your bounds?"
Yu Xuange suddenly laughed. "Senior Brother Tian seems to have forgotten something. Our respective academies' founders made an agreement with the Taiyi Sword Sect, allowing disciples to enter the sect. This was meant to give promising disciples a chance, not to use this quota as a means of eliminating dissidents."
"Chengyi Sword Academy doesn't have a Dharma Aspect Realm expert in the Taiyi Sword Sect, so your Zhenyi Sword Academy can act so recklessly? What if, in the future, other academies' Dharma Aspect Realm experts in the Taiyi Sword Sect are harmed? Does that mean that future disciples of other academies wanting to enter the Taiyi Sword Sect will also have to endure what Chengyi Sword Academy is going through today, swallowing their anger and being manipulated by other academies?"
For Yu Xuange, his willingness to accept Lin Yan and Qi Yu stemmed not only from Lin Yan's undeniable potential and his relationship with Elder Sun, but also from his disapproval of Tian Guangyi and Qi Yu's actions.
The twelve sword academies were originally of one mind; even if there were some frictions between them, those were personal grudges and shouldn't affect the overall situation. "
Blocking disciples from other sword academies from entering the Taiyi Sword Sect is already a breach of the bottom line.
Yu Xuange, you're simply being unreasonable! When has my Sixth Peak ever refused Lin Yan entry?"
Tian Guangyi's face flushed red, especially since the elders from the other peaks hadn't left yet, and Yu Xuange's words made him lose face.
"You, the Sixth Peak, know the inside story. Chengyi Sword Academy won first place and obtained two spots, which they earned through their true abilities. Your Sixth Peak, relying on Chengyi Sword Academy's reluctance to openly confront you for the sake of some of your disciples, wants to take one of the spots. What kind of logic is that?"
Yu Xuange snorted coldly, and seeing that Tian Guangyi was about to speak again, he directly added, "If Senior Brother Tian is not satisfied, then let's go to Elder Li and clarify in front of him whether it was my Fifth Peak or your Sixth Peak that was wrong."
"Yu Xuange, you...you..."
Tian Guangyi's face trembled with anger. He naturally wouldn't argue with Elder Li, but he hadn't expected Yu Xuange to be so ruthless, essentially breaking ties with their Sixth Peak.
What did the Cheng Yi Sword Academy have to do with your Fifth Peak's Shou Yi Sword Academy?
Yu Xuange withdrew his gaze, ignoring Tian Guangyi, and was about to leave, but his steps faltered, his gaze fixed ahead.
Not only Yu Xuange stopped, but several elders from the other peaks who hadn't yet left also halted, looking at the figure approaching.
Xu Zhao, the head of the Sixth Academy of the Cheng Yi Sword Academy.
"Why is this person here?"
"It seems this matter...isn't over yet."
"I knew things wouldn't end so easily. The Cheng Yi Sword Academy letting Lin Yan join the Fifth Peak is tantamount to breaking ties with Tian Guangyi and his fellow disciples and the Zhen Yi Sword Academy. How could it end so easily?"
The elders from the various peaks present immediately communicated telepathically, recognizing Xu Zhao's identity.
Joining the Taiyi Sword Sect doesn't mean you're stuck there forever. Everyone present was quite familiar with the Dharma Aspect Realm experts from each of the sword academies.
Tian Guangyi's expression changed instantly upon seeing the newcomer. He ignored Yu Xuange and flashed to appear before the newcomer.
"Senior Brother Xu, what brings you here?"
"I've come to seek justice for Chengyi Sword Academy."
Xu Zhao spoke slowly, his voice trailing off as he passed Tian Guangyi without pausing.
"Senior Brother Xu, this matter is over."
Tian Guangyi, seeing Xu Zhao pass him, flashed again, blocking Xu Zhao's path, his expression extremely grim. "Chengyi Sword Academy and my Zhenyi Sword Academy have been one for many years. There's no need to let such a small matter cause a complete rift between us."
"Junior Brother Tian, are you trying to stop me?"
Xu Zhao looked at Tian Guangyi calmly.
Tian Guangyi remained silent. Xu Zhao didn't speak again, but simply took a step forward.
The moment he took that step, a sword wheel slowly appeared behind him. The outline of the sword wheel was blurry, but the moment it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be compressed from all directions by an invisible force, producing a slight, low humming sound.
Seeing the sword wheel behind Xu Zhao, Tian Guangyi's pupils contracted. He didn't follow, but a similar phantom appeared behind him.
The difference was that Xu Zhao's sword wheel phantom glowed white, while Tian Guangyi's phantom glowed blue.
The two were only about ten feet apart.
The phantoms floated silently behind each other, without colliding, spreading, or making a sound. Yet, simply standing opposite each other caused the airflow within a radius of several dozen feet to stop, even the wind ceased to pass through the area, as if something had severed it in the middle.
The elders, including Yu Xuange, not far away, also stared intently at the two phantoms behind them, awaiting a result.
A clash of Dharma Aspects—this was a unique technique of Dharma Aspect Realm experts.
Time slowly passed.
Three breaths later, Tian Guangyi's expression was even more somber than before, and the edges of the phantom behind him subtly contracted inwards by two points.
In contrast, the phantom behind Xu Zhao remained motionless.
In that instant, the outcome was clear.
Xu Zhao stepped down, directly straddling Tian Guangyi's side, causing Tian Guangyi to sway slightly.
Tian Guangyi stood rooted to the spot, his hands clenched tightly beneath his sleeves, his face ashen. He couldn't accept that after so many years of cultivation on the Sixth Peak, he was inferior to Xu Zhao, who had always stayed outside.
"Xu Zhao, are you really going to go this far?"
But in the end, Tian Guangyi still spoke again, unwilling to give up.
This time, Xu Zhao didn't even turn his head, but his voice lacked its previous calmness.
"Qi Yu is a disciple of the Cheng Yi Sword Academy, and also a disciple of the Sixth Academy. I am the head of the Sixth Academy. If I don't seek justice for Qi Yu, what face do I have to remain the head of the Sixth Academy?"
His rhetorical question was filled with undisguised anger.
"Tian Guangyi, you should be glad you didn't refuse Lin Yan, otherwise, it would be six members of my Cheng Yi Sword Academy coming right now."
Upon hearing this, not only did Tian Guangyi's expression change, but the expressions of the elders beside him, including Yu Xuange, also shifted slightly.
The Taiyi Sword Sect does not allow non-sword sect disciples to enter, not even Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Sword Academy. However, this time, the Chengyi Sword Academy has ample reason to seek justice for the injustices suffered by the Academy and its disciples.
If all six academy leaders of the Taiyi Sword Sect were to arrive, it would likely alarm the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master.
Tian Guangyi watched Xu Zhao walk towards the main hall, his face ashen, but he remained silent.
At this moment, he knew that the Chengyi Sword Academy would not let this go.
At the entrance of the Qijian Hall, Xu Zhao stood still: "Xu Zhao, the sixth academy leader of the Chengyi Sword Academy, has come to the Qijian Hall to seek justice for my Chengyi Sword Academy disciple, Qi Yu."
His voice was not loud, but it clearly carried throughout the surroundings and into the hall.
Accompanying his voice into the hall was a letter that Xu Zhao produced—the very letter from the Sixth Peak that had rejected Qi Yu three times.
Ten breaths later, Li Mubai's voice echoed from within the main hall: "Elder Tian Guangyi of the Sixth Peak, withdraw from the Sixth Peak and leave the Taiyi Sword Sect before tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Tian Guangyi's expression changed drastically. Li Mubai was essentially expelling him from the Taiyi Sword Sect.
He was an elder of the Sixth Peak; even Li Mubai, as the duty elder of the Qijian Hall, did not possess such authority. Only the Hall Master and the two Deputy Hall Masters held this power.
"This is the decision of Deputy Hall Master Shen; I am merely conveying it."
Li Mubai, seemingly knowing Tian Guangyi's thoughts, uttered his next sentence, shattering Tian Guangyi's last hope.
"Cheng Yi Sword Academy won first place in this academy competition, but also suffered unfair treatment. Therefore, Cheng Yi Sword Academy is granted special permission to open an eleventh peak. All disciples from Cheng Yi Sword Academy can transfer to the eleventh peak. Xu Zhao… will serve as the elder of the eleventh peak."
While the first sentence surprised Yu Xuange and the others somewhat—surprised by the excessive punishment of Vice Hall Master Shen for Tian Guangyi—the second sentence truly shocked them.
The ten-peak structure of Qi Jian Hall had remained unchanged for over a thousand years, and now, because of this matter, an additional peak had been opened.
Was Vice Hall Master Zuo biased towards Cheng Yi Sword Academy?
If Vice Hall Master Zuo were biased towards Cheng Yi Sword Academy, Cheng Yi Sword Academy wouldn't have been suppressed by Zhen Yi Sword Academy for so many years.
Those present wore thoughtful expressions; Vice Hall Master Zuo's move must have a deeper meaning.
"The difference between Cheng Yi Sword Academy and previous years is that they won first place in this year's academy competition. But winning first place in the academy competition alone wouldn't be enough to alarm Vice Hall Master Shen and make him look at Cheng Yi
Sword Academy differently. The only possibility is..." Yu Xuange suddenly thought of a possibility. Vice Hall Master Zuo had never shown favoritism towards Cheng Yi Sword Academy before, and he wouldn't now either. The only explanation was that Vice Hall Master Shen valued the people from Cheng Yi Sword Academy.
Xu Zhao?
He's quite old; even if he's strong, that's about it.
A name surfaced in Yu Xuange's mind: Lin Yan.
Vice Hall Master Zuo made this decision because of Lin Yan.
Although this guess was a bit too far-fetched, Yu Xuange couldn't think of any other possibility.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Yu Xuange's figure appeared directly beside Xu Zhao.
"Senior Brother Xu."
"Junior Brother Yu, thank you."
Xu Zhao himself was also shocked, but the moment Yu Xuange's figure appeared beside him, he regained his senses and immediately expressed his gratitude to Yu Xuange.
"If anyone should be thanking someone, it's me, Junior Brother, thanking Senior Brother Xu and Chengyi Sword Academy for sending two promising talents to my Fifth Peak."
Hearing Yu Xuange's words, Xu Zhao frowned and said seriously, "Since Qijian Hall allows my Chengyi Sword Academy to operate its own peak, Lin Yan and Qi Yu naturally have to return to the Eleventh Peak. However, Junior Brother Yu and the Fifth Peak will forever remember this kindness."
"No way."
Yu Xuange refused directly.
If his guess was true, and the Left Vice Hall Master really valued Lin Yan, then he absolutely could not let Lin Yan return to the Eleventh Peak.
"Senior Brother Xu, we already agreed on this. I've already submitted the list; it would be inappropriate to change it now." Yu Xuange explained with a smile.
"Junior Brother Yu, there's no need to worry. The Left Vice Hall Master also said that disciples from Cheng Yi Sword Academy can go to the Eleventh Peak instead. Lin Yan and Qi Yu's return won't violate the Qi Jian Hall's rules."
Xu Zhao had already guessed Yu Xuange's thoughts, but his attitude remained good. In any case, he and Cheng Yi Sword Academy had to acknowledge the favor shown by the Fifth Peak.
"How about this, since my Fifth Peak has already accepted two disciples from Cheng Yi Sword Academy, if Senior Brother Xu is worried that the Eleventh Peak won't have enough disciples, then I'll return Qi Yu to the Eleventh Peak."
Seeing the pained and reluctant expression on Yu Xuange's face, Xu Zhao fell silent.
He was skilled with a sword, not with words.
Unfortunately, Yu Xuange, who had done Cheng Yi Sword Academy a favor, couldn't draw his sword.
"Junior Brother Yu, let's discuss this later, shall we?"
Xu Zhao decided to postpone the matter and have the other senior brothers from the Sword Academy discuss it.
"Elder Xu, there's no need to rush to decide on the arrangements for Lin Yan joining the Sword Sect.
Qi Jian Hall has other plans." Just as Xu Zhao was changing the subject, a voice transmission came through his ear. Hearing Elder Li's voice transmission, Xu Zhao's eyes lit up, and his gaze immediately turned to Yu Xuange. As he expected, Yu Xuange looked disappointed.
It seemed that he wasn't the only one who received Elder Li's voice transmission; Yu Xuange did too.
...
...
Qi Jian Hall established the eleventh peak, under the jurisdiction of Cheng Yi Sword Academy.
This news spread rapidly among the ten peaks. If the disciples of the other peaks were only shocked by Qi Jian Hall's decision, the disciples of the sixth peak were now experiencing two extremes.
"Haha, Senior Brother Zeng doesn't need to worry this time, right?"
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Chengzhen burst into laughter at his residence.
"Junior Brother Zhao, what am I worried about? I'm older than you. If you're not afraid of being bullied by those two from the Sixth Peak, I won't care either,"
Zeng Muyang replied irritably, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
From the moment Junior Brother Zhao went to contact the Fifth Peak, he had prepared himself for suppression from the Sixth Peak. Just as Junior Brother Zhao said, at his age, it didn't matter.
It was impossible not to feel a sense of loss, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the situation changed drastically.
Uncle-Master Xu joined the Taiyi Sword Sect as an elder of the Eleventh Peak.
From now on, they, the disciples of the Chengyi Sword Academy within the Taiyi Sword Sect, would no longer have to live under someone else's roof.
"Alas, what a pity for Junior Brother Song,"
Zeng Muyang sighed, thinking of Song Baiqing amidst his joy.
"Him?"
Zhao Chengzhen's face showed disdain. "If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened. The current situation is entirely self-inflicted."
...
"How could this be?"
On his own mountain peak, Song Baiqing's expression was extremely grim.
Uncle Xu had directly entered the Taiyi Sword Sect and become a peak elder. It was obvious that Zhao Chengzhen and Zeng Muyang would definitely transfer to the eleventh peak.
And what about him?
He couldn't go to the eleventh peak.
It was he who revealed Lin Yan's studies at the Taiyi Sword Sect to Xu Weizheng.
This led to Xu Weizheng threatening Lin Yan, including the subsequent cooperation between Zhenyi Sword Academy and Guanyi Sword Academy, which caused this series of upheavals.
Others might not know these things, but Zhao Chengzhen certainly did, and given Zhao Chengzhen's personality, he would never hide anything for him. This also meant that Uncle Xu must have known about it too.
The eleventh peak—he couldn't go.
Continuing to stay on the Sixth Peak…
Cheng Yi Sword Academy and Zhen Yi Sword Academy had completely fallen out, and even Elder Tian had been expelled from the Taiyi Sword Sect. The Sixth Peak would never accept him again, even though he had chosen to side with them.
Staying on the Sixth Peak would only mean being ostracized by Xu Weizheng and others, and Elder Gu would likely also harbor resentment towards him.
The Sixth Peak was also no longer an option.
Song Baiqing suddenly realized with despair that he only had one path left: leave the Taiyi Sword Sect voluntarily, at least he could retain some dignity.
But leaving the Taiyi Sword Sect meant that his path to the Dharma Aspect Realm would be forever blocked. Although
staying in the Taiyi Sword Sect also offered little hope of reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm, at least there was a sliver of possibility; leaving meant absolute certainty.
The Dharma Aspect Realm experts from other sword academies, although they all entered the Dharma Aspect Realm after leaving the Taiyi Sword Sect, at least had entered the Three Aspects Secret Realm before leaving, possessing the opportunity to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
A deep sense of regret welled up in Song Baiqing's heart at this moment.
Only at this moment did Song Baiqing realize that he had already felt remorse.
When the news of Chengyi Sword Academy winning first place in the academy competition reached him, he had already regretted it.
If he had gone to Chengyi Sword Academy at that time to apologize to his master and uncles, perhaps there would still be a chance.
But now… there was no chance at all.
Heaven truly plays tricks on people.
A self-deprecating look appeared on Song Baiqing's face.
For the sake of reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm, he had disregarded Chengyi Sword Academy's kindness in passing on martial arts, bearing the name of ingratitude, but in the end, he had gained nothing.
…
…
On this day, at Chengyi Sword Academy.
A small farewell party was held, with all the academy's stewards present, the atmosphere filled with joy.
Qu Xunzhen had already relayed the events of yesterday at the Qijian Hall of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
Upon learning that Headmaster Xu had taken over the eleventh peak, except for the steward of the sixth academy who was slightly bewildered, the stewards of the other academies all wore smiles.
With Headmaster Xu in charge, disciples joining the Taiyi Sword Sect won't have to worry about being suppressed or treated unfairly.
"Lin Yan, Qi Yu, once you two go to the Taiyi Sword Sect, don't waste your time… Never mind, with Uncle-Master Xu here, I don't need to tell you these things."
Sikong Shen chuckled halfway through his sentence.
If it weren't for Uncle-Master Xu, he would have reminded Lin Yan and Qi Yu to keep a low profile at the Taiyi Sword Sect, but with Uncle-Master Xu around, he naturally didn't need to worry about that.
Qi Yu stood there with a smile, showing no dissatisfaction that Uncle-Master Sikong had put Lin Yan's name before his own.
This spot was secured for him by Lin Yan.
Moreover, he already knew from his uncle that Lin Yan had refused to compromise and proactively offered to switch peaks for his sake.
After joining the Taiyi Sword Sect, he had already made up his mind.
He only needed to do two things: first, cultivate relentlessly, and let the disciples of the other peaks of the Taiyi Sword Sect know that he was qualified to join.
We can't let the Sword Academy down and give the Sixth Peak a pretext for criticism.
The second thing is to follow Junior Brother Lin's lead completely; anyone who wants to harm him will have to step over our dead bodies first.
Even if, with Junior Brother Lin's strength, he doesn't need us at all.
Lin Yan, who was saying goodbye to Lu Changfeng at this moment, also felt Senior Brother Qi's burning gaze and looked at him with some confusion.
