Qin Chu said nothing, knowing that with Qian Qing and Liu Nan’s status, coupled with the collaboration of Su Shanhe, Zhang Ji, and others, they could indeed dismiss a Main Peak Elder without the Sect Master’s intervention.
This also showed that the current Main Peak had no regard for reason, and everything was under the sway of power.
Qin Chu returned to the cliff and began to Cultivate again.
The news of Qian Qing and Liu Nan coming to Azure Bamboo Peak to cause trouble spread throughout Azure Bamboo Peak, making many people extremely angry.
Qian Qing and Liu Nan were bullying people without following the rules, completely disregarding Azure Bamboo Peak, and were too arrogant.
Luo Zhen also learned about this matter, and his expression turned grim.
He immediately arranged for an Elder to watch outside the Labor Hall.
His attitude was clear: Qin Chu could die in a fair and open fight, but he absolutely could not be framed or schemed against.
After making the arrangements, Luo Zhen brewed a pot of tea.
He felt that he had been silent for too long, causing many people to forget about his fiery temper.
“Master, do you need Disciple to do anything?” Yan Yi arrived at the great hall of Azure Bamboo Peak.
“You know about the matter?” Luo Zhen looked at Yan Yi.
Yan Yi nodded; how could he not know about such a big matter?
Liu Nan had returned to the Core Disciple Cultivation area and boasted about it, which almost led to a fight between him and Liu Nan.
“How confident are you if you were to fight Liu Nan?” Luo Zhen asked after sizing up Yan Yi.
“Disciple is seventy percent confident in fighting Liu Nan, but Disciple does not know Qian Qing’s strength,” Yan Yi said.
Luo Zhen was silent for a moment, then took out a classic and handed it to Yan Yi, “In the past, I always emphasized to you the importance of basic Cultivation.
Now it’s almost time; you can Cultivate this Seven Kill Sword Art.”
Yan Yi bowed and took the Seven Kill Sword Art.
He knew it was Luo Zhen’s famous skill, much stronger than Su Shanhe’s Blood Fiend Sword Art, and equally difficult to Master.
“The Core Disciple circle is currently a place of trouble.
For now, do not go there.
Stay on Azure Bamboo Peak.
If any Core Disciple comes to trouble Qin Chu, directly kill them!” Luo Zhen instructed Yan Yi, then left the Azure Bamboo Peak hall.
For a considerable period in the past, he had been in seclusion Cultivating, which led to a decline in Azure Bamboo Peak’s status.
He felt it was time to let others know his temper.
After Cultivating for two days, Qin Chu’s cultivation successfully Breakthrough, reaching the second stage of Condensing Origin Realm.
With the Origin Qi of the second stage Condensing Origin Realm as a foundation, coupled with the strength within his body, Qin Chu’s sword technique power increased by a level.
Qin Chu felt it was enough.
He had encountered Liu Ze once and knew Liu Ze’s strength.
Through Liu Ze’s strength, he could confirm that he could fight the Main Peak’s Inner Sect Disciple.
Although he had Breakthrough, Qin Chu still steadily stayed by the cliff Cultivating, solidifying his Origin Qi and practicing basic sword techniques.
In front of the Main Peak’s scripture pavilion, Lu Yuan reported some recent events in Azure Cloud Sect to Mo Daozi and Ling Yunzi.
“Su Shanhe and Zhang Ji have forgotten Luo Zhen’s fiery temper!” Mo Daozi sighed.
“Qian Qing, Liu Nan, those two fellows want to die!” Ling Yunzi cursed.
Mo Daozi looked at Lu Yuan, “Now I instruct you: in Azure Cloud Sect, Qin Chu can be killed openly, but he cannot be schemed against.
Remember, no matter who it is.”
Lu Yuan bowed and left the scripture pavilion.
He understood the seriousness of the matter; for countless years, Mo Daozi had not interfered in Sect affairs, let alone issued such an order.
“The Sect is a bit chaotic; all sorts of disgraceful things have appeared.
What if he is a prince of the Qian Dynasty?
He thinks too highly of himself.” Mo Daozi closed his eyes after speaking.
Qin Chu stayed in the wooden house by the cliff Cultivating.
On the appointed day, he arrived at the Labor Great Courtyard.
When Qin Chu arrived, Bai Yu, Er Pang, and others had already gathered and were waiting.
“Let’s go, depart!” Qin Chu said, then left the Labor Great Courtyard.
Outside the Labor Great Courtyard, Qin Chu saw many people from Azure Bamboo Peak waiting, not only Outer Sect Disciple but also Inner Sect Disciple.
Qin Chu even saw Yan Yi.
Qin Chu had some impression of Yan Yi; he was the one who had stopped Liu Ze’s arrogance in the Labor Hall back then.
Without saying anything, Qin Chu led the way, followed by the members of the Labor Hall, and then by a dense crowd of Azure Bamboo Peak Disciple, who arrived at the Main Peak.
Originally, Qin Chu intended to fight in the area where the Main Peak’s Inner Sect Disciple resided, but he could not advance; the Main Peak’s gate was blocked.
“I, Qin Chu, have come to fulfill the agreement between me and your Main Peak,” Qin Chu said, looking at the Main Peak’s people.
The Main Peak Disciple looked at Qin Chu as if they wanted to kill him.
A saying was circulating in Azure Cloud Sect that the Main Peak’s Outer Sect Disciple were not even as good as the Azure Bamboo Peak’s laborers, which caused the Main Peak to lose much Face, and all of this was caused by Qin Chu’s challenge.
“You damned fellow, today I will first chop off your limbs, then cut off your dog’s head,” Liu Ze appeared.
“Still so cruel, but cruelty isn’t spoken; it requires strength!” Qin Chu felt that Liu Ze was incorrigible; not only was he arrogant and overbearing, but he was also ruthless.
Looking at Qin Chu, Liu Ze sneered, “Do I still need strength to kill you?”
“I heard that the Elders who agreed to the life-and-death arena battle on the Main Peak were dismissed by some people using shameless means.
I want to ask, does today’s life-and-death battle still count?” Qin Chu looked at some of the Main Peak’s high-ranking officials.
“It counts! Why wouldn’t it count?
If you’re scared and kneel to apologize, we can spare you,” Zhang Ji said.
Today, his Disciple Liu Ze was fighting, so he had no reason not to come.
Looking at Zhang Ji, Qin Chu smiled, “I’ll believe your words for now, but I must add that your character is indeed not very good.”
Zhang Ji’s expression changed, and he was about to burst out, but seeing Luo Zhen standing behind Azure Bamboo Peak, and several Azure Bamboo Peak Elders, he said nothing.
Because if he said anything harsh, Luo Zhen would definitely not give him Face.
The Disciple from Azure Cloud Sect’s Seven Peaks who were watching all retreated a distance, clearing the Main Peak’s gate plaza.
Qin Chu took a few steps forward, his right hand gripping his sword hilt, looking directly at Liu Ze, “First you arranged people to kill me, and when that failed, you sent people to poison me.
Let’s settle it today!”
“Go to hell!” Hearing Qin Chu speak of his crimes, Liu Ze leaped up, his long sword unsheathed, bringing with it a half-foot of cold gleam, and slashed towards Qin Chu!
Fourth-grade weapon!
Whispers spread among the onlookers because Liu Ze’s long sword was of extremely high quality and could already amplify Sword Qi attacks.
Cultivators of the third stage True Origin Realm could project Origin Qi outwards, but it was usually a sword aura of about three inches.
However, Liu Ze’s Sword Qi now reached half a foot, and combined with the light emanating from the long sword, some onlookers had already determined that Liu Ze’s long sword was not simple.
Qin Chu moved a step, his long sword unsheathed, a direct thrust, striking the least stressed part of Liu Ze’s long sword’s spine, deflecting Liu Ze’s strike; it was a basic sword technique!
