Chapter 205 Dead or Alive (2/2)

Zuo Shaoqing stayed silent. Shen Lian did not come up with pretty words, but it was the cruel reality.

Jiang Shuijie could only look at Zuo Shaoqing making an oath under his Daoist heart, and when Meng Xunzhen wanted to say something, he was restrained.

When it was settled between Zuo Shaoqing and Shen Lian, Shen Lian then said, ”Meng Swordsman, when did we Qing Xuan ever offend you?”

Meng Xunzhen did not answer. Shen Lian laughed and he relaxed his restraint.

Meng Xunzhen could now speak, he said, ”Zhenren's technique is indeed powerful. I am very much impressed.”

While he said that, he did not feel impressed in his heart.

Shen Lian sneered, ”Do you think I am Huanzhen? I have to beat you the first time, the second time and the third time to make you satisfy?”

Meng Xunzhen looked like he was in a foul mood and replied, ”Shen Zhenren indeed speaks your mind.”

Shen Lian replied, ”You should have something to say now.”

Meng Xunzhen did not seem to understand. He was alright as a cultivator, but he was used to being a lone wolf and hence he did not really understand social cues. Jiang Shuijie was more thoughtful, whereby he cupped his hands and said, ”Shen Zhenren, our sect has a small request. We Qingjiang Sword Sect respect Qing Xuan for a long time. We are willing to be an affiliate and to listen to your order.”

Meng Xunzhen was angry, ”What are you doing, Jiang? How dare you?”

Jiang Shuijie saw how angry Meng Xunzhen was, and hence he transmitted some messages to him with the mind. Given Shen Lian had created a way to completely keep the technique of Qingjiang Sword Sect under control, if the news spread out, they would no longer have a footing in Nanjiang.

There were a lot of enemies out there who were looking to cannibalize the sect.

They could not rely on Guangqing Celestial Sect anymore, as they never did send their own students to test the waters of Qing Xuan. It was because they treated their own students as treasure and the cultivators from other sects as weed.

The attitude of Guangqing was great due to the focus, but it was not great to gain favors from the others.

It was indeed impressive to have 5 Dixian in one sect, and hence nobody really dared to say much.

Meng Xunzhen previously was blinded by anger, but now as he was aware of the situation, he grasped that Shen Lian had all their weaknesses. Qingjiang Sword Sect was now merely waiting to be slaughtered.

They could not expect that Shen Lian could come up with something to restrain others' techniques in such a short period of time.

While Meng Xunzhen successfully attained Milky Way Swordsmanship which was better than the swordscraft of his own sect, but something critical was missing from it. If not because of that, Huanzhen would not have given it to him.

The critical point was that the main chapter was missing – Milky Way: Meaning of Dharma. Even if one were to find a successor and start all over again, it was impossible. He could only learn some of the parts to allow for breakthroughs.

As a result, the fundamental of Qingjiang Sword Sect was still Cloud and Water Sword. Even if one could improve, its fundamentals would not change. What Shen Lian had created was pinpointing at the fundamentals. Every improvement would be futile unless the fundamentals could be changed.

Shen Lian said nothing and he was waiting for Meng Xunzhen to come to his senses. This was the reason why he demanded someone from Qingjiang Sword Sect to have some moral nature. If a fool were to be here, it would only ruin his plans.
