Zhang Ge was like a machine, numbly retelling the events. "We listened to Elder Zhang Ge's orders. Once we entered, we attacked the Pillheart Sect disciples... As we picked them off one at a time, we threatened the disciples of the other sects to join us and attack the Pillheart Sect together. Otherwise, they would end up dead. This group of people joined us in persecuting the Pillheart Sect disciples.
"A total of twenty-eight Pillheart Sect disciples were forced into various arrays and the Demon Beasts' mouths. Then, we saw Su Ze. Su Ze was cultivating on the rockery, so I gave the order to watch Su Ze together. I didn't expect Su Ze to kill us all in a single move!"
After Zhang Ge finished speaking, the scene fell silent. All the elders looked at each other in dismay, and they saw the incredulous expressions in each other's eyes.
"I thought Su Ze would have a helper or something, but it seems like he really did it alone!"
"He took the lives of 200 disciples in one move. Oh my god! What move was it! Could it be a Heaven Rank cultivation technique?"
"A Grandmaster would easily take on two Martial Masters. A fifth or sixth-level Grandmaster Realm might not be able to do it easily! What kind of monster is this Su Ze?"
These elder were discussed animatedly among themselves. At that moment, they couldn't help but want to discuss.
"Elder Zhang Da, is there anything else you want to say?" Su Ze asked in a bright voice. His eyes were filled with awe and fearlessness.
"Zhang Da, you owe me an explanation," Sword Ancestor Lin said coldly.
"Humph! Su Ze really surprised me this time. He killed more than 200 of my disciples! But so what? There are only two people left in your Pillheart Sect." Zhang Da snorted coldly.
"Since you've shed all pretense of cordiality. Don't even think about living anymore." Sword Ancestor Lin no longer maintained his usual amiable appearance. At this moment, a terrifying smile hung on his face.
"Humph, you old fool, why would I be afraid of you?" Even though Zhang Da's realm was lower than Sword Ancestor Lin's, he did not show any fear. He took a step forward abruptly, as if he wanted to stand against him.
Sword Ancestor Lin didn't hold back any longer. He raised his hand, and suddenly, a huge door appeared in the sky. When the door appeared, the sound of zither and drums could be heard, as well as the sound of a flute.
"Reveal your secrets!"
Patriarch Lin roared, and the huge door instantly opened. Seemingly corporeal sword Qi flowed down.
This scene scared the other sect elders around Zhang Da so much that they immediately fled.
When Zhang Da saw that Sword Ancestor Lin was serious, he instantly panicked. He was a mere elder! His opponent was an old monster that had lived in the Pillheart Sect for centuries! There was a huge gap between their powers.
He wasn't a match at all. At the moment of life and death, he took out a huge flag and wrapped it around his body. This was his Emperor-level life-saving divine weapon..,
The slanted waterfall of sword Qi from Sword Ancestor Lin instantly flattened a mountain.
"Ah!" Zhang Da let out a shrill scream. His body was gradually reduced to dust under the barrage.
Sword Ancestor Lin's sudden attack frightened everyone around him.
"Has the old monster finally lost it? He just attacked without warning! With such decisiveness, could it be that he wants to start a war between the two sects?"
"The Pillheart Sect's strength on the surface is fifth in the central region, while the Golden Light Sect is sixth. However, the Golden Light Sect's greatest reliance is not on the sect's strength, but their ties to the number one sect!"
"Now that the old monster has made his move, the two sects are bound to be embroiled in another bloodbath. I'm afraid the Pillheart Sect won't have a good day."
While everyone was discussing, the spatial rift suddenly rippled, and a mountain of books suddenly ran out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Senior brother Su Ze, why didn't you wait for me! Your martial arts are still with me!" Chen Ruoruo shouted loudly, her line of sight covered by a small mountain of martial arts. Not long after she stepped out of the spatial door, she didn't notice a small rock protruding out from under her feet. She tripped over it and lost her center of gravity, falling to the ground. The martial arts cultivation techniques in her hands were also scattered all over the sky.
When those elders saw the mountain of martial arts cultivation techniques, their eyes were also wide open.
"This... so many cultivation techniques! I'm afraid that this Su Ze has cleansed all of the martial arts storehouses by himself?"
"Su Ze has actually gained so much. Even our Profound Serene Sect might not be able to gather so many cultivation techniques in ten years!"
"From the looks of it now, Su Ze is the biggest winner!"
The eyes of all the elders turned red. They knew that rich martial arts cultivation techniques were extremely important resources to a sect. Hence, how could they not be envious when they saw so many cultivation techniques?
Zhang Da saw that everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Ruoruo. His eyeballs rolled a few times before he stealthily moved his body and left the scene as if he was fleeing.
Su Ze held his forehead and looked at the clumsy Chen Ruoruo. He first helped her up and then picked up the cultivation techniques on the ground.
"You are Chen Lin's granddaughter, right?" Sword Ancestor Lin asked.
Chen Ruoruo was grabbing a foot in pain. When she heard Sword Ancestor Lin's words, she nodded. "The heavenly Elder Chen Lin is my great-grandfather."
"No wonder. Her rash personality is somewhat similar to Chen Lin's." The chill in Sword Ancestor Lin's face disappeared and turned into a kind smile.
Su Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at where Zhang Da once stood. He said in a low voice, "Sword Ancestor, will this cause trouble?"
"Naturally. Leave this to me. I'll have a talk with all the Sect Masters. Don't worry about it." Sword Ancestor Lin said in a low voice.
"Okay." Su Ze nodded with a solemn expression.
If Zhang Da died here, war between the two sects would be inevitable.
Even if the Golden Light Sect had the stronger backer, some things couldn't be tolerated. This was the law of this world. If Sword Ancestor Lin had not made a move today, then the people from the other sects... would probably label the Pillheart Sect as spineless trash.
"Alright, let's go back."
Sword Ancestor Lin smiled and stored all the martial arts that Chen Ruoruo was holding into his interspatial ring.
He summoned a huge sword and took Su Ze and Chen Ruoruo back to the sect.
...
When they returned to the sect's square and were about to part ways, Su Ze thought for a moment and asked the Sword Ancestor in a low voice, "Sword Ancestor! I have some useless resources here. Sword Ancestor, do you think you can help me exchange for some that I can use?"
"Hahaha, it seems like your trip to the world of your mansion was quite fruitful!" Sword Ancestor Lin laughed heartily. "You can go to the sect's points exchange office and exchange these resources for points. Then, you can exchange them for the resources you want."
"Sword Ancestor... I might have a little too many resources here. I'm afraid that the exchange office won't accept them," Su Ze continued to probe.
"Yes, just exchange them for points no matter how much they are! A portion of the Pillheart Sect's hundreds of years of accumulated wealth comes from disciples' contributions. Therefore, you can exchange them with the sect if you don't need them," Sword Ancestor Lin said with a smile.
"That's good. Then I'll show you a portion first," Su Ze said with a smile.
Sword Ancestor Lin nodded and watched Su Ze's actions quietly.
On the square, many disciples gathered around Su Ze when they saw him return.
Su Ze smiled and took out ten interspatial rings. He picked out the one that was full of spiritual artifacts and poured everything inside onto the ground with his mind.
All the disciples were dumbfounded.
