The Stubborn Sword Sect Master, the "Calm" Ying Xuanzi

Chapter 98 The Stubborn Sword Sect Master, the "Calm" Ying Xuanzi

"Did you ultimately choose to join the Sword Sect?"

Lan He came to his senses and looked at the nine-tailed fox Lan He in front of him, whose appearance was so handsome that it was almost otherworldly, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips: "That's right, I did choose the Sword Sect in the end."

Why?

Lan He frowned slightly and pressed on, "Given your terms, the other major sects shouldn't refuse either."

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe smiled, his gaze deepening: "Among the four major sects, the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace has a past grudge against our fathers, so naturally we cannot join. You should be aware of this."

""

Lan He nodded: "I understand."

"As for the Divine Sect—"

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe before she explained, "The Divine Sect's heritage is good, but you must know that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan to which my mother belongs was a race renowned throughout the world for its spiritual power in ancient times. Back then, our Nine-Tailed Ancestor followed the Devouring Lord into the Demon Lord's stronghold, and his safe return was inseparable from the spiritual power of our Nine-Tailed Fox Ancestor."

Lan He pondered, "So the Divine Sect's legacy isn't actually that useful to us?"

"almost.

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe nodded and continued, "The inheritance of the Divine Sect is, in the end, nothing more than a direct path to the Lesser Talisman Sect level. But the spiritual power inheritance of the Nine-Tailed Clan can be cultivated directly to the peak of the Great Talisman Sect, which is comparable to a Reincarnation Realm expert."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "Across the entire Tianxuan Continent, these are the most top-tier spiritual power inheritances. Why should I waste my time seeking something inferior to what's within my own borders?"

Lan He nodded thoughtfully: "What about the remaining Dao Sect and Sword Sect?"

A hint of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox Lanhe, and her tone became somewhat sentimental: "These two families are actually two extremes."

Lan He raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked, "What do you mean?"

The nine-tailed fox Lanhe hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering her words, before slowly speaking: "The Dao Sect's heritage is not bad; in fact, it could be said to be even slightly stronger than the Sword Sect, which is also one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region. After all, among the eight sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, apart from the Yuan Sect, which has three experts at the Reincarnation Realm with the help of the alien demons—"

He paused, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Only the Dao Sect can barely contend with it, possessing two Reincarnation Realm experts: Sect Leader Ying Xuanzi and that Supreme Elder who is in seclusion. The other major super sects only have one Reincarnation Realm expert each, which shows the gap between their lineages."

Lan He nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

"But the leader of the Dao Sect, Ying Xuanzi, has always been cautious and steady, and never takes risks in his actions."

The nine-tailed fox Lanhe's lips curled into a half-smile, his tone laced with sarcasm as he said disdainfully, "To put it nicely, that's being cautious and prudent, planning before acting. To put it bluntly, it's being cowardly and weak, hesitant and timid."

"Although the Daoist tradition is excellent, in Ying Xuanzi's hands it has lost some of its sharpness and gained more of its smoothness."

He shook his head and continued, "Like when Lin Dong participated in the sect war, Ying Xuanzi told Lin Dong to do whatever he wanted, which eventually angered Yuan Zi, the third leader of the Yuan Sect. Although Ying Xuanzi intervened to protect him, that was all. Out of respect for the Dao Sect, the Yuan Sect let Lin Dong go, but they didn't let the young patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan go."

Lan He frowned: "What are you trying to say?"

"You should know that the Eastern Xuan Domain and the Demon Domain have always been at odds, and they have clashed many times. In fact, many core members of some of the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Domain have been killed by powerful figures from the Demon Domain. And the one with the most blood on their hands is the most ferocious Heavenly Demon Sable Clan—"

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe's tone grew colder, "Therefore, in order not to offend the Yuan Sect and the major sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, Ying Xuanzi ultimately chose to stand by and watch, allowing Lin Dong and the other two to flee the Eastern Xuan Region in defeat."

Upon hearing this, Lan He nodded and then said, "I am naturally aware of this matter. Ying Xuanzi's actions are somewhat understandable, after all, it is indeed not appropriate for the Dao Sect to interfere in the affairs of the Demon Realm and the Eastern Xuan Realm."

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Excusable? You can see this guy's style. If it were my Sword Sect, I wouldn't care about the Demon Realm or anything like that. If anyone touches someone from my Sword Sect, we'll fight them first."

"Back then, when Zhou Tong attacked the Yuanmen for the sake of the Dao Sect disciples, Ying Xuanzi chose to stand by and watch, saying that he was doing it for the sake of the Dao Sect, but in reality, he didn't dare to confront the Yuanmen head-on."

His eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "If you ask me, we should have confronted the Yuan Sect head-on back then and protected Zhou Tong. With Ying Xuanzi's cultivation level, how could he not see that Zhou Tong possessed the Space Ancestral Symbol? Protecting Zhou Tong would have been enough to destroy the Yuan Sect once he reached the Reincarnation Realm. The Dao Sect could still flourish under his leadership. Why be so timid?"

He looked at Lan He, his seven golden tails swaying gently behind him, radiating a chilling aura. His tone carried the unique sharpness of a sword cultivator: "We sword cultivators have no fear of death! At worst, we'll sink this Eastern Xuan Region and show those short-sighted fools what true sharpness is!"

Looking at the handsome, almost otherworldly, nine-tailed fox Lan He before him, Lan He was momentarily lost in thought.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you become the last sect master of the Sword Sect—"

, 7

Before he could finish speaking, a hint of embarrassment flashed across the handsome face of the Nine-Tailed Fox Lan He.

He coughed lightly, and the seven golden tails behind him stiffened.

"Well—" He scratched his head, unusually unsure of himself, "It's a long story."

Lan He raised an eyebrow and waited quietly.

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe sighed and explained, "After I joined the Sword Sect, I began to practice the Sword Sect's Heavenly Martial Arts, the Sword Yuan Gang Technique. Later, I participated in the Sect Competition, and because of Qin Tian, ​​I fought several matches against the Yuan Sect—"

He paused, then looked at Lan He: "You know the nature of our Sword Sect; we've always been fierce and unyielding."

Lan He nodded upon hearing this; he was aware of that.

As far as he knew, originally, the Western Xuan Domain invaded the world, wanting to seize the ancient battlefield. Other high-level experts were restrained, leaving only a group of juniors.

Before the other dynasties could make a move, Chen Nan of the Sword Dynasty was the first to attack, charging towards the people of the Western Xuan Region, only to be slapped away.

Even later, when Lin Dong and his two companions returned to the Eastern Xuan Region and rallied the remaining forces of other super sects to form the Zhuyuan Alliance to fight against the Yuan Sect, it was Mo Jian, the leader of the Sword Sect, who led the Sword Sect disciples to be the first to respond.

It can be said that among the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, only the Sword Sect is the most headstrong and has an especially fierce temperament.

Seeing Lan He nod, the nine-tailed fox Lan He continued, "But we went too far and accidentally—wiped them all out."

O

Lan He's lips twitched slightly.

"Then I provoked the elders of the Yuan Sect to take action," the Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe's voice grew lower and lower, "and I wiped them all out."

""

Lanhe fell silent.

"Later, it forced Yuan Zi, the third leader of the Yuan Sect, to personally take action —"

Nine-Tailed Fox Lanhe sighed and continued, "To stand up for me, Sect Leader Mo chased after Yuanzi and chopped off his arm. As a result, the Sword Sect completely offended the Yuan Sect."

Lan He frowned deeply: "And then?"

"Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi both appeared, and although other super sect leaders intervened to persuade them to temporarily drop the matter."

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox Lanhe, her tone tinged with guilt, "But the Yuan Sect still didn't give up. After the sect competition, the Yuan Sect declared war on the Sword Sect."

He looked at Lan He, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes: "Now you know why I'm the last sect master of the Sword Sect, right?"
