In the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there was a strong sense of solemnity. The duel between Jiu Jian and the Soul Hunting Sect would not end because of Jiu Jian's breakthrough.
Everyone thought that after Jiu Jian broke through to the deity transformational stage, the duel would be without suspense.
However, they received confirmation today that the leader from the Soul Hunting Sect had reached the deity transformational stage a few years ago. Now, he had reached the third level of the deity transformational stage.
This news made the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect feel like they were on a roller coaster. One was Jiu Jian, who had just reached the deity transformational stage.
Although he had drunk Su Yang's wine, he had a solid foundation in this stage. However, the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect was at the third level of the deity transformational stage.
In the deity transformational stage, there was a huge gap between each level. Hence, the first and third levels of the deity transformational stage were not on the same level. It was obvious who was stronger.
Judy, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, looked at the crowd and said in a low voice, "Let's put our heads together and think of something."
The hall was silent. In front of absolute strength, all schemes were illusory. Was the Heavenly Sword Sect really going to end up like this?
At this moment, a green-robed young man walked out. He was the disciple of the third elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was also the man who appeared with Wang Nan earlier.
"Yu Shijie, what do you want to say?" Jiu Jian asked.
"Elder, since we can't fight the Soul Hunting Sect, why can't we avoid this battle?" Yu Shijie asked doubtfully.
Hearing this... Everyone in the hall laughed bitterly. If they could avoid the battle, why would they still think about it?
The feud between Jiu Jian and the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect could be traced back to decades ago. The two of them cultivated together in the outside world. They were good friends, but because of a treasure, they fell apart. It was on that day that the two swore an oath with their blood and the heavenly dao.
Thirty years later, the battle would be decided. This oath with the heavenly dao could not be reversed. If they did not fulfill their promise, they would suffer a backlash from the heavenly dao.
Jiu Jian looked at the people in the great hall with dejected expressions. He sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Sigh, I can't count on you guys anymore." As he spoke, Jiu Jian stood up and walked toward the Great Hall.
Earlier, he had already thought of a countermeasure. If he could borrow senior Su Yang's broken sword, at a glance, he had the confidence to defeat the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect.
Although the sword was broken, he could tell that it was a truly sacred weapon. Even the Soul Hunting Sect's mountain-splitting ax contained only immortal qi.
As long as Jiu Jian could take the sacred weapon and use the two earth rank martial skills he learned from Su Yang, it would be much easier to defeat the Soul Hunting Sect. After all, it was a sacred weapon.
"All of you can leave now!" Jiu Jian waved his hand.
"Elder!"
"Elder, what are you...?"
Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Jiu Jian had ordered everyone to leave. Could it be that they really did not have the strength to fight now? If that was the case, then the Heavenly Sword Sect...
Everyone's faces were filled with heavy solemnity and despair. Looking at the dejected faces of everyone, Jiu Jian looked at them with a look of disappointment.
"Don't worry. I have a plan." Seeing this, Jiu Jian knew he had to reassure them. "As long as I can borrow that sword... Soul Hunting Sect, hehe, you'll be just a pretty clown."
"Sword?"
"What sword?"
Everyone looked puzzled. What kind of sword could make him so confident? How could he defeat the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect, a third level deity transformation warrior?
Jiu Jian did not want to explain too much to them.
"You'll know when I borrow the sword."
Then, Jiu Jian left with Judy impatiently. Only the people in the hall were left with doubt and unease.
Judy was also confused. Why did the elder call her? She asked, "Where's the elder going to borrow the sword?"
The reason why Jiu Jian wanted to call Judy to go with him was because he felt that he should let the sect leader know of the existence of that senior.
'Those little brats of the Heavenly Sword Sect don't know what they are talking about. They don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. One day, if they don't open their eyes, they'll offend the senior. Then, the Heavenly Sword Sect would really come to the end of their lives.'
Jiu Jian did not explain much to her. With a wave of his hand, he pulled her up and flew straight to Qingyang Town.
After arriving at Qingyang Town, Jiu Jian decisively chose to walk down the street. Judy was very puzzled by Jiu Jian's action.
"Uncle, you are..." Judy was also Jiu Jian's niece.
"Why don't we fly straight there?"
"What do you know?" Jiu Jian reprimanded coldly, "I advise you to put away your arrogance as the sect leader. This is the territory of that senior. Put away your arrogance and be respectful."
Seeing the serious look on her uncle's face, Judy was even more confused. This small Qingyang Town was worthy of her uncle's fear? Moreover, how could this mortal city have the sword that her uncle needed?
Although she was extremely puzzled, she still restrained her aura. After all, she knew that her uncle would definitely not let go of something for no reason.
"Uncle, how could this small Qingyang Town have the things that you need?"
"Let me tell you, there are too many experts in this world. Even a beggar on the street can be an existence that you can't afford to offend. Therefore, when you go out, you must restrain your arrogance. You must be humble and courteous to others to live a long life."
Judy knew that Jiu Jian was warning her so she listened to him patiently. However, she did not think that there would be any experts in Qingyang Town.
After all, she had lived in this area for decades. She had been to Qingyang Town many times and she did not encounter any so-called experts.
The two of them walked along. Soon, they arrived at the tavern.
"This is the place!"
Looking at the tavern, Jiu Jian's eyes were full of endless respect. Judy, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on her face. Was this not just an ordinary little tavern?
Jiu Jian turned around and warned Judy, "Remember to be humble after you enter. You must be humble. You must be humble. You must be humble."
"All right!" She did not know why Jiu Jian was so cautious and that he had warned her three times. In the past, Jiu Jian had never repeated anything twice.
What exactly was the reason that could make Jiu Jian so careful? With an exploratory heart, she and Jiu Jian walked in.
