Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Ye Fan's lips.
Since witnessing the past of the Emperor, it seemed as though the Emperor was about to be redeemed. The impression everyone had of him improved significantly.
Especially Chu Nannan, who had now turned against the tide and expressed her stance with a very firm attitude.
She chose to stand by the Emperor's side.
The Emperor's display of tenacious will, selflessness, and strong sense of loyalty and righteousness made even Ye Fan, who was known as the child of destiny, feel somewhat overshadowed.
At this moment, if the Emperor were to truly commit the act of betraying his master and ancestors, and if this were confirmed, just the mere accusation would deepen the hatred everyone had for the Emperor.
Even the changed perceptions from before would vanish completely.
Moreover, even Chu Nannan, who had decided to rebel and vowed to save the Emperor at all costs, would likely turn against him again.
The thought of the Emperor's subsequent actions being exposed brought immense excitement to Ye Fan's heart. He eagerly awaited that moment.
"Emperor, you probably never thought that such a humiliating history, which you tried so hard to hide, would be exposed to everyone just as you are about to be vanquished, right?!"
Ye Fan was thrilled, already imagining the scene where everyone united with him once more to fight against the Emperor, this great demon.
And all these Empresses, once the Emperor was dealt with, he, as the child of destiny, would have to bring all these Empresses into his harem.
Nie Fengyun, at this moment, also felt some emotion on his face. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "Did your mentality begin to distort completely from the moment your sword heart was destroyed? Did you finally become the demon everyone wants to exterminate?"
To Nie Fengyun, during these years in the mortal world, while spending time with Chu Yang, he could clearly feel Chu Yang's genuine sincerity towards him.
When seeing him humiliated, he would risk his life to save him.
Even though at that time, Chu Yang himself was in a very poor state, his body was full of wounds, on the verge of collapse.
However, what happened afterward was vastly different from the affectionate and righteous brother from the beginning, to the point where he could hardly believe they were the same person.
...
The elder led Chu Yang to the immortal mountain of the Sword Dao Sect. Above the gate was a large plaque.
Engraved on it were the three characters for "Heavenly Sword Sect."
Seeing the sharp sword aura emanating from these three characters, Chu Yang's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He could tell that these three characters were carved stroke by stroke by a powerful sword cultivator.
They contained profound sword intent, deeply captivating anyone who gazed upon them.
Seeing Chu Yang's amazed expression, the elder smiled faintly without speaking. He directly led Chu Yang into a spatial array.
After passing through the array, a scene of stunning beauty, like a paradise, came into view.
Here, countless enchanting rays of light shimmered, and from the life-filled forests, the rare spectacle of dragon roars and tiger howls could be heard occasionally.
Chu Yang had never seen such a scene before, and he was deeply drawn to this fairyland-like place.
Continuing forward, they reached a spacious square made of extremely rare jade stones. On the square, hundreds of white-clad figures practiced their swordsmanship.
Sharp sword auras emanated from them, attracting attention.
The sight of thousands of sword cultivators practicing in unison was extraordinarily magnificent.
Gazing at the white-clad sword cultivators, Chu Yang was deeply moved.
Such a scene was almost too dreamlike for Chu Yang, who had struggled alone from childhood, clawing his way up step by step.
He had never imagined that one day he could join such a powerful sect and receive the guidance of a master to aid his cultivation.
An unusual feeling surged in Chu Yang's heart.
The elder walking in front glanced at the many disciples practicing their swords, then turned his gaze to Chu Yang and slowly said, "This is the area for inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I am the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Because I attained the Dao through the sword and gained great fame in the outside world, people refer to me as the Sword Sovereign. Over time, the title Sword Sovereign gradually replaced my name."
Hearing this, Chu Yang was slightly taken aback. His time practicing the Dao was not long, and he had little knowledge about the famous powerful figures in the outside world.
Therefore, even after the Sword Sovereign introduced himself, Chu Yang only had a vague understanding.
The elder saw the glimmer in Chu Yang's eyes and said calmly, "What you see before you are all disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but they are merely inner disciples."
"You, however, are different. You are my only direct disciple, your status far surpasses that of even the core disciples. I have practiced swordsmanship for hundreds of years, and you are the only sword talent in this mortal world that has caught my eye."
"After you join the Sword Sect, you don't need to worry about anything else. From now on, both I and the Heavenly Sword Sect will be your strongest support. You only need to practice your swordsmanship and fully unleash your potential."
Chu Yang bowed deeply and responded solemnly, "Thank you, Master."
The elder nodded, then summoned the disciples who were practicing their swords.
These white-clad disciples knelt on one knee before the elder, showing utmost respect. "Greetings, Sect Master!"
The elder nodded, pointing to Chu Yang beside him, and said, "This person is my direct disciple and your senior brother. Why haven't you paid your respects?"
Upon hearing this, the white-clad sword cultivators below revealed expressions of astonishment.
They couldn't believe that the Sect Master had taken a direct disciple. What virtue or ability did this beggar-like guy have to be chosen by the Sect Master?
It was well known that the Sect Master had extremely high standards.
He had spent his entire life searching for a disciple to inherit his legacy, but no one had ever met his criteria.
Unexpectedly, he had now chosen this person as his direct disciple.
"This person doesn't look very old, but his attire is quite shabby. Did the Sect Master pick up a little beggar?"
"With his frail appearance, I feel like I could crush him with just one finger. How could this guy be our senior brother?"
"Indeed, look at him. He's filthy and lacks the grace and commanding presence of a sword cultivator."
These disciples harbored great hostility toward Chu Yang.
They had dreamed of becoming the Sect Master's disciples but had always been rejected due to their inadequate qualifications.
Now, what made this guy superior to them?
