All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Chapter 775 404: Husband... They Scared the Disciple..._2

"You must think I am being unreasonable, causing several of my disciples to make a senseless commotion. So overbearing and aggressive—what is my purpose? Is it merely to declare the Eastern Country's sovereignty?"

"In fact, before this, I had no intention of causing trouble. Even coming to the Jinzu Court was just a casual stroll with Li Er. After my awakening this time, I have changed a lot. I treat people with sincerity, and naturally, others will reciprocate."

"Along the way, Li Er showed me too many displaced people within the Eastern Country. I cannot fathom how an Eastern Country, so prosperous after Nan Ji left, could transform into this war-torn land with its people suffering so terribly."

"Therefore, I came this time intending to reason with all of you, and with the North King. However, it seems those present do not wish to be on good terms with the Sword Sect. Even if Li Er's words were somewhat harsh, there wasn't a single lie in them, was there?"

"What's with this display of force? Are you planning to keep the three of us—master and disciples—here permanently? To bury us in the Jinzu Court?"

Silence filled the air. No one spoke.

Su Bei sighed, extending his hand to catch a few snowflakes, watching them melt in his palm.

"To put it bluntly, we are all cut from the same cloth. In the Cultivation World, strength determines everything, doesn't it...?"

THUMP—

Mo Fan couldn't withstand the pressure of the Tribulation-Crossing Stage. He spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground, gasping for air like a drowning man pulled ashore.

Su Bei glanced at him and said coolly, "Kneeling is the right choice. Stubbornly holding on will only injure your body."

THUMP, THUMP—

One after another, cultivators knelt. Soon, only the North King, Ling Xu, and a few others remained standing in the courtyard.

Suddenly, Su Bei stepped forward and snorted coldly. "Not even the South Emperor could kill me! Who do you think you are?!"

"Since we've resorted to arms today, let's speak plainly. I, Su Bei, am here today to demand an explanation!"

"The principle is simple: a life for a life, a debt for a debt. So, Ling Xu, Wu Ya'zi, how did Nan Ji's Eastern Country become such a corrupt mess under your watch?!"

Only then did Wu Ji realize that Su Bei hadn't come to the Jinzu Court merely to grandstand or pick a fight with him.

Have I unintentionally boarded the Wuhua Palace's pirate ship?

Disciples from the Blade Sect and Dao Sect were already casting unfriendly glances at Ling Xu.

But since matters had reached this point, Buddhist light surged around Wu Ji. He looked at Su Bei, his tone grave, "I don't care what grievances you have, but here in the Jinzu Court, if you dare insult the Buddha Gate, don't blame the Buddha Gate for being merciless!"

Su Bei chuckled. "What? A moment ago you were clamoring to capture me, and now the Buddha Gate is being 'merciless'?"

"If you have the skill, you're welcome to take my head. But if you don't, what can you do even if I dismantle your Buddha Gate to raise pigs?!"

Wu Ji's expression changed instantly; his Buddhist conviction wavered for a moment.

Su Bei seized this fleeting opportunity, and his sword light flared!

Sword Eleven—Nowhere to Be Found!

The sword left its sheath.

A thunderous BOOM echoed through the heavens and the earth.

A brilliant golden Sword Qi, linking heaven and earth, filled the flame-strewn sky.

Instantly, the entire world was enveloped by endless golden lotuses. Wherever one looked, this magnificent and formidable scene dominated the view.

Amidst the sea of golden clouds, a colossal cloud vortex, one hundred zhang high, appeared. Within this swirling vortex, a green sword slowly rotated, emanating boundless Sword Intent. Wild Sword Qi swept out, blanketing every corner!

The tip of the Qingping Sword instantly pressed against the hundred-zhang Golden Form, its chilling Sword Qi carving a long, slender mark.

It was a magnificent sight. The entire world had become Su Bei's domain, golden lotuses blooming everywhere.

BOOM—

Seeing this, Ling Xu and Wu Ya'zi fiercely charged towards Su Bei.

A blizzard swept through, instantly engulfing the entire Jinzu Court.

Buddhist light shimmered, the heavens seemed to invert, and a boundless aura reverberated for a thousand li around.

Wu Ya'zi extended his hand. In the next moment, a scroll painting unfurled, obscuring the sky and enveloping the entire area beneath it.

An area of one hundred li was completely engulfed by this scroll—the Mountain and River Painting! It monopolized mountains and rivers!

"The Tianji Sect's ultimate treasure, the Mountain and River Painting!"

Ling Xu took a step forward, his cultivation at the Mid Stage Tribulation Passing unmistakably revealed.

A thunderous bang echoed between heaven and earth. Ripples spread across Ling Xu's Daoist Robe, and a massive shockwave of energy expanded outwards from his feet.

Ling Xu gently waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, and suddenly, countless vines sprouted throughout this domain!

Su Bei's eyes coldly regarded the figures before him.

The surging Immortal Sword Qi spread across the entire firmament, threatening to tear apart the Mountain and River Painting from within!

"You go first."

"Go to the ferry at Rosy Water Pass. If your master doesn't arrive in time, take a boat to Northern Border Pass and find Lin Jinyu!"

"Li Er, it won't be too late for me to go with you to the West State!"

Su Bei waved his hand, sending forth Spiritual Energy to dispatch Xiao Ruoching and Mo Li. He gripped the sword at his side, his three thousand strands of black hair dancing wildly. His white robe, embroidered with begonias, billowed and whistled in the air.

"The Mountain and River Painting is a fine artifact, but its power depends on who wields it!"

"Break for me!"

Su Bei roared! With a fierce fling of his wide white sleeve, a golden Sword Qi, dozens of li long, erupted around him, streaking across the sky and obscuring the heavens!

The Sword Qi was immense and majestic. Golden lotuses wreathed Su Bei, making him appear like the Nine Heavens Emperor looking down upon all mortals. Within the Mountain and River Painting, the air was saturated with Sword Qi. This formidable Sword Qi surged forward, instantly shattering the already trembling painting!

Sword Thirteen—No Regrets!

With a deafening CRASH, dust and debris flew everywhere!

Wu Ya'zi was sent flying by this surge of Sword Qi. He crashed heavily to the ground and violently spat out a mouthful of blood!

On the official road to Rosy Water Pass, a white horse galloped at breakneck speed.

Her disheveled white hair streamed in the wind as she lifted her head, gazing at the distant golden light in the sky. She clutched a knotted cord tightly, her heart in turmoil.

Upon learning his whereabouts, she had rushed from the Southern Barbarians back to the Twenty-One Provinces. She first returned to the Sword Sect, and after discovering his trail, she had pursued him relentlessly.

Dan Wulan bit her lip, her thoughts chaotic. In her view, Su Bei's journey to the Jinzu Court was simply asking for trouble. What did the affairs of the Eastern Country have to do with him? Does he love Ji Nanjue that much?

Has he never once thought of me?

He just woke up; his lifespan must be perilously short. Even with the Concentric Knot I obtained from Wilderness, I can't guarantee his life. Yet, in such a critical situation, he still has to meddle in the tangled affairs of the Eastern Country.

That damned Mo Li! I've never liked her.

Doesn't she know the state of Su Bei's body right now?

Why does she care about the world? What business is it of hers?

Regarding Su Bei's actions, Dan Wulan was torn between feeling moved and worried.

She even felt a hint of annoyance. The situation in the Eastern Country is already so convoluted, yet he insists on adding fuel to the fire. Isn't he afraid of getting burned? If something were to happen to him, how could I ever be at peace?

The situation in the Eastern Country was becoming simultaneously more complex and yet, in some ways, clearer.

It was complex because more and more Sects were beginning to enter the fray and choose sides; it was clearer because few Sects remained indecisive.

Dan Wulan's greatest fear was that, given Su Bei's status, his involvement would inevitably trigger a chain reaction. It wouldn't just affect him but the entire Sword Sect... It might even draw out the South Emperor again.

She had met Saintess Key Smoke, who said she had delivered the letter to Dan Wuque. Key Smoke had repeatedly emphasized that Su Bei must not reveal himself... And now, after all this commotion, the entire world knows!

Su Bei, you mustn't get into any more trouble.

If you die, I absolutely will not remain a widow for you!

Definitely not!
