C265 Sword forest (1/2)

After he had finished refining these five souls, Ye Xingchen's eyes swept across his surroundings. Many ordinary disciples on the plaza looked in their direction.

These ordinary disciples simply didn't know the truth of the matter. They were stunned by the sudden change in events.

”Thank you, Elder Brother Ye.” Shen Juetian cupped his hands towards Ye Xingchen and then said softly. The other six great elders also expressed good will towards Ye Xingchen.

In order to not affect the lives of ordinary disciples, Shen Juetian directly announced that Shen Hongyu wanted to betray his Heavenly Sword Sect. Even the five great elders had already been faked, so they all had to disperse.

Shen Juetian was on the other hand, leading the elders, as well as Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi entered the Conference Room.

Within the Conference Room, Shen Juetian sat at the position of the Sect Leader, and beside him were Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi. The thirteen elders stood at the two sides of the hall.

At this moment, the seven elders of the Shen Hongyu camp were all regretting their decision, while the six elders of the Shen Juetian camp had joyous looks on their faces.

”We already know the truth of the matter. Shen Hongyu allied with the people of the Heavenly Devil, and wants to control my Heavenly Sword Sect. Now that the Heavenly Devil has been removed from the Heavenly Sword Sect, I hope that the seven elders can be loyal to my Heavenly Sword Sect forever.” Shen Juetian looked around at everyone, and then said coldly.

The reason why these seven elders were not punished, was because these seven elders were Elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and also the backbone of the Heavenly Sword Sect. If they were killed, the power of the Heavenly Sword Sect would truly plummet.

When the seven elders heard this, they all swore martial oaths.

”I, Shen Yunyu, swear on the path of martial arts, and will always be loyal to the Heavenly Sword Sect and will never have another heart. If I break this oath, thunder will strike the sky.”

”If I break this oath, lightning will strike the sky …”

The seven Elders all swore martial arts oaths to prove their loyalty.

After seeing the performance of the seven elders, a smile emerged on Shen Juetian's face.

A vow between practitioners was called a martial dao oath, and a martial dao oath was governed by rules. Once a practitioner made a martial dao oath, they had to abide by that oath. If they broke that oath, they would be punished by the martial dao oath.

On the path of martial dao, practitioners placed great importance on a martial dao oath, and they normally wouldn't swear a martial dao oath.

This was because once one made a martial dao vow, if one broke it, it was already a foregone conclusion that lightning would strike the skies, and one's soul might dissipate.

Because of their previous muddled decisions, these seven people were currently being looked at in a peculiar manner within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He could only swear a martial arts oath to prove himself, and only the martial arts oath could prove himself.

Hearing the seven clan elders swear oaths, the six clan elders of Shen Juetian's side looked at these people with different eyes.

”Hahaha, since everyone has taken the oath on the martial way, from now on, we are family, and will forever be people of Heavenly Sword Sect.” Shen Juetian was overjoyed, and laughed out loud.

Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi watched on quietly from the side without saying a word.

”We are willing to follow Heavenly Sword Sect to the death.” The seven Elders said loudly.

Shen Juetian however, waved his hand, and then said in a low voice: ”Elders, I want to tell everyone some unfortunate news.”

Everyone turned to look at Shen Juetian, only the six clan elders knew what Shen Juetian wanted to say.

”Shen Hongyu joined up with the Heavenly Devil to control my Heavenly Sword Sect. According to Shen Hongyu, when they left the Sect Leader, they had already set up an ambush on the Sect Leader. If nothing unexpected happened, the Sect Leader would probably already …” Shen Juetian's face was gloomy, his heart was filled with sorrow, as he replied in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, the elders already knew what he wanted to say.

Especially the seven elders, their faces were all filled with disbelief and they all looked towards Shen Juetian.

”However, we do not believe that the Sect Leader will die, so we have to wait for his return.” Shen Juetian said loudly, ”But before that, as the acting Sect Leader, what I want to say is, I need to completely twist my Heavenly Sword Sect into a rope, and before Sect Leader returns, I need to lead the Heavenly Sword Sect forward.”

All the elders nodded their heads, and Ye Xingchen nodded his head in satisfaction as well.

Although Shentu Xue did not know whether he was dead or alive, Ye Xingchen was very satisfied with his performance. At least Shen Juetian did not immerse himself in the grief of Sect Leader's death.

”We will take revenge for the Sect Leader, and kill all the Heavenly Devil.” One of the elders said angrily.

”That's right, take revenge for the Sect Leader. We must kill all the Heavenly Devil.”

”Our Heavenly Sword Sect is definitely not that of a coward. If we cannot avenge the Sect Leader, what meaning is there in us living?”

After the elders heard the news, they became furious and wanted to take revenge for the Sect Leader.

After all, Shentu Xue had been with these elders for a very long time.
