Chapter 329 (2/2)
“Don’t worry, you’ll just have to appear.” Gao Tu laughed and handed Sasa a letter.”This is Supreme Chief’s assessment of the Rebirth Sword Technique. You’ll need to bring it out during the arbitration.
“When the time comes, the people from the Myriad Stars Palace will also take action. Fang Xingjian has no hope.
“On the government’s side, the First Prince has already done the necessary preparations.”
Myriad Stars Palace? When Sasa heard these three words, his heart leaped. If ‘The School of Sword Arts’ was the peak in the sword arts domain, then Myriad Stars Palace was an even scarier influence with the existence of the Divine level expert, Astral Ancestor.
With The School of Sword Arts, Myriad Stars Palace, and the First Prince wanting to suppress Fang Xingjian, then even Devitt, James, and Hoppes would be unable to do anything.
Gao Tu continued,”You’re still hesitating? Hehe, after we’ve banned the Rebirth Sword Technique, the Myriad Stars Palace, The School of Sword Arts and the Ancient Path of Hell (Royal Sect) will work together to invent a new sword technique, specially provided for the three sects to cultivate. Do you wish to be one of the creators of this sword technique and to leave your name behind in history?”
When Sasa heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He felt disappointed in the plan the three major sects were plotting.
‘They are planning to first attack Fang Xingjian and the Rebirth Sword Technique, banning everyone from cultivating it, and then change the appearance of the Rebirth Sword Technique to be disseminated within their sects?
‘With that, not only would their businesses in imparting martial techniques not be affected, their sects would also be greatly powered up.
‘The gap in strength between those in the upper echelon and those in the lower echelon would increase, and the Royal family’s control over the lower echelon would be more stable as well.
‘As expected… They are more than ten times more cunning than me. They are truly very vicious.’
However, Sasa then immediately thought of how each sect would definitely send a representative to be one of those who had invented this ‘new sword technique’. If he could be included, with the effect of the Rebirth Sword Technique, he would be able to make a name for himself in history.
‘They are really keeping all the benefits for themselves. But… I like their way of doing things.’
Gao Tu impatiently asked,”So how is it? You can agree to it now, right?”
Sasa shrugged,”I don’t seem to have a choice, do I?” With the three great factions joining forces, Sasa really had no option to reject.
After handing the letter to Sasa and watching as the Sword Saint left, a thin man next to Gao Tu spoke up,”Boss Gao, this guy won’t try to go back on his word and give us the slip, right?”
“Do you think he would dare to do so?” Gao Tu laughed coldly and said,”The School of Sword Arts, Myriad Stars Palace, and the First Prince. If any of these influential people wished to crush him, it wouldn’t be any harder than killing a dog.
“With him taking the lead, if anything were to happen in the future, there’ll be someone who can act as the scapegoat.”
Not long after their discussion, the female assassin dashed into the cave, covered in blood, collapsing to the ground.
“What’s wrong, Rakshasi? Why have you been inflicted with such serious injuries?”
The female assassin called Rakshasi still had her mind filled by Fang Xingjian’s last sword attack on replay.”It’s impossible to fend off… There’s no way to fend off at all.”
