This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 434: Chapter 51: The Strongest Realm 7

Sword Sect.

Atop Stabilizing Heart Peak, several cultivators wore solemn expressions, seemingly faced with a vexing issue.

The peak master of Stabilizing Heart Peak, Kong Shan of the Divinity Transformation Realm, furrowed his brows slightly and asked the other cultivators for their opinions, “How do you all view the complaint of the Origin Demon King?”

The most prestigious identities within the Sword Sect naturally belonged to the seven peak masters of the seven main peaks.

Moreover, these seven peak masters, elevated high above, usually did not involve themselves in the multitude of minor matters within the sect, such as sect missions, the distribution of sect benefits, and diplomatic relations with the outside world.

These trivial matters were overseen by cultivators of the fifth and sixth realms.

And Stabilizing Heart Peak was responsible for these diplomatic relations.

“The Origin Demon King is quite bold, actually claiming that our Sword Sect disciples intend to kill his only offspring and demanding an explanation from us.

Hey, even if we didn’t kill, even if we did, since when does the Sword Sect need to give face to a demon beast?” Daoist Xinyu said sharply, his words revealing his disdain for the Origin Demon King and his pride in the Sword Sect.

“It’s not that simple. The Origin Demon King’s cultivation is of the Eighth Grade, not to mention, he possesses a Netherworld Magical Artifact, treats the Netherworld as his own backyard, and can freely enter and exit the Netherworld.

Additionally, with the Netherworld Death Qi, he’s nearly immortal and indestructible, which makes him quite troublesome.”

After some contemplation, Daoist Late Autumn spoke carefully, “The so-called explanation demanded by the Origin Demon King is actually just a bluff.

His real intent is merely to gain some benefits from the Sword Sect and extend his influence by publicizing this—claiming to hold the Sword Sect accountable for his offspring, he wants to ensure that no one dares to offend his offspring in the future.”

Kong Shan rubbed his temples, his only thought being extremely worried about his position as the peak master of Stabilizing Heart Peak.

The Sword Sect, a sect of murderers, incompetent in both alchemy and artifact refining. Whenever they go out, they excel at causing trouble and killing.

This kind of issue where disciples wander outside, kill the lesser, and attract complaints from the greater, are common occurrences to him, and he no longer finds them strange.

Considering the status and power of the Sword Sect, most would not dare to directly blame them, but making complaints and demanding explanations were still unavoidable.

After all, even as steadfast as the Sword Sect is, there’s a limit to how many enemies it can make without reason.

Because if unjust actions become too frequent, they will eventually provoke a collective response.

“You can neither beat nor scold those precious sword cultivators of our sect.

Mainly, if you kill, kill directly and clean up thoroughly afterward.

Instead now, they have not killed and have given others a handle to criticize, forcing us to clean up their mess,” Kong Shan sighed and lamented, “And this Origin Demon King is not someone weak and easily bullied. If we are not in the right, it’s not easy to outright reject his demands.”

“Under normal circumstances, the method suggested by the Origin Demon King is viable, after all, the face of an Eighth Grade Great Demon King is usually considered, and what he asks does no great harm—most cultivators would agree,” Daoist Qingquan stated sternly.

The fact was, the explanations demanded by the Origin Demon King weren’t harsh—there were two points:

First, he demanded that the Sword Sect confine the two disciples who acted against his offspring as a form of discipline.

Second, he asked the Sword Sect to compensate for the medicinal expenses incurred by his offspring as an apology.

Both requests were not excessive; more so, they were about claiming a justified vigor. Should he really wish to trouble the Sword Sect, the Origin Demon King would not dare to be so overbearing.

“We are still not clear about the specific details. Why did our Sword Sect disciples attempt to kill the Origin Demon’s offspring? Whether we really are at fault is yet unknown, so we certainly cannot agree to this,”

Kong Shan thought for a moment and then slowly said, “For ten thousand years, the Sword Sect has never done anything without knowing where justice lies, nor have we simply capitulated.”

“Why not summon those two Sword Sect disciples and ask them for the details?” Daoist Xinyue suggested.

“The main issue is that these two disciples have not yet returned to the sect,” Kong Shan spread his hands and continued, “Moreover, these two, one is our Sword Sect’s top disciple Ji Chuan, and the other is Lu Qingshan, who joined the sect with the prestige of being the champion of the Seven Domains.”

A shocking statement caused everyone present to take a deep breath.

These two disciples carried significant weight.

“Setting aside the status of Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan for the moment, you all should also be aware of something,” Daoist Xinyu suddenly spoke sharply: “The Origin Demon King is also pushing urgently from his side, demanding an early response. @@novelbin@@

This aside, he even subtly revealed threats in his words, seemingly suggesting that if we don’t give an explanation, he might take matters into his own hands against our Sword Sect disciples?”

“Threatening the Sword Sect?” Daoist Qingquan, who was usually the most mild-tempered, immediately raised his eyebrows with concealed anger, “Has this Origin Demon King borrowed courage from some old dog? How dare he?”

“Peak Master Kong Shan, I feel this matter is not for us to decide. Let’s report it to the Peak Master of Sword Coming Peak and the Peak Master of Vastness Peak for handling,” Daoist Late Autumn suggested.

“Report it to the Peak Master of Sword Coming Peak and the Peak Master of Vastness Peak? Well… in our sect, these great sword cultivators have a very straightforward way of solving problems, as all of you surely know…” Daoist Qingquan muttered.

“What to do then? One is the most distinguished disciple of the Vastness Peak Master, and the other is the only disciple of the Sword Coming Peak Master. Neither is within our jurisdiction.

And the Origin Demon King, being an Eighth Grade Great Demon, is also not someone whose response we can easily decide,” Kong Shan spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
