#272 - Reactions
The events in the Ancient City of the Eastern Wilderness quickly spread throughout the world.
Major overlord-level forces had established strongholds here, and the city had ancient teleportation arrays leading to several other continents. In less than half a day, everyone knew.
In an instant, high-level forces, quasi-overlord level forces, and overlord-level forces from all continents urgently recalled their management personnel stationed elsewhere and convened emergency meetings.
They were all discussing the same event, and the topics of discussion invariably revolved around the Woman Soldier Saint and Jun Wu Xie.
Inside the main hall of the Kaitian Sword Sect, the management was fully assembled.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
The Sect Master of the Kaitian Sword Sect said in a deep voice.
"With such a Soldier Saint backing him, we should choose to befriend Jun Wu Xie, but I fear we have already missed the opportunity. Given Jun Wu Xie's personality, even if we show goodwill, he will only think we are being hypocritical."
"That's right! He is still in the growth stage. If we show goodwill now, he probably won't turn against us, but when he becomes a Saint Overlord in the future, he will definitely turn against us!"
"The feud has already been formed, and besides, several Saint Overlord experts from our sect died because of him. We are destined to be mortal enemies!"
"Didn't that Soldier Saint say that no martial artist over the age of forty is allowed to attack him within three years? This means that martial artists under the age of forty are allowed. Within this range, we have two to three generations of true disciples!"
"Hmph! We are an overlord-level force, with a heritage of ten thousand years and a profound foundation. So many powerful experts have died. How can we show goodwill in this situation?"
...
The Sect Master of the Kaitian Sword Sect and several Saint Overlord-level foundation experts listened to everyone's opinions, remained silent for a moment, looked at each other, and finally nodded, reaching a tacit understanding.
"Well said, how can my Kaitian Sword Sect show weakness?" The Sect Master of the Kaitian Sword Sect revealed a cold glint in his eyes and said, "Currently, we cannot deal with that Soldier Saint, so let's follow her rules and let the disciples under the age of forty deal with Jun Wu Xie!"
Speaking of this, a cruel look appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Now should be the arrival of the third golden age of this era. In the future, we may have the opportunity to communicate with the higher realms and invite an envoy to descend! At that time, what can the Soldier Saint do? All the blood debts must be settled!"
Speaking of communicating with the higher realms, everyone in the hall showed excitement.
In every golden age, anyone who can communicate with the higher realms and have an envoy descend will have a group of people selected to follow the envoy to that wider world. This is something that everyone in the overlord-level forces dreams of.
...
At the same time, other overlord-level and quasi-overlord level forces were also discussing what attitude to take towards the Soldier Saint's disciple, Jun Wu Xie.
The Xiao Clan made the same choice as the Kaitian Sword Sect.
They knew very well that what their young master had done to Jun Wu Xie destined their clan to be mortal enemies with him, leaving them no other choice.
In the Yunling Nan Family, the family head had a gloomy face and also made this choice.
Since the Soldier Saint had set the rules, then they would kill Jun Wu Xie within those rules!
His son, who was only eleven years old, had his head cut off by Jun Wu Xie. This was a deep blood feud!
It had been so long since his son died, and only today, when Qin Yuan was captured, did someone secretly pass the message to his Nan Family.
The forces that had formed deep feuds with Jun Wu Xie all made their choices, all wanting to kill him and be done with it.
They knew very well that they could not let him grow up. The longer they delayed, the harder it would be to suppress him.
...
Inside the main hall of the Great River Sword Sect, more than a dozen elders gathered together.
Among these people were members of the Great River Sword Sect, the Qingshan Sword Sect, and the Kaitian Sword Sect.
"According to the news from the Ancient City of the Southern Region, Jun Wu Xie's strength has been advancing by leaps and bounds. For the sake of prudence, I'm afraid we'll have to let the top ten true disciples of your Kaitian Sword Sect take action."
"No!" The expert from the Kaitian Sword Sect said: "The top ten true disciples of my sect are all famous. Once they appear in your Great River Sword Sect, their identities will inevitably be exposed. If word gets out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?"
"Then what should we do?"
He Jianyun and the Vice Sect Master of the Qingshan Sword Sect both looked unhappy.
Jun Wu Xie's growth rate was too fast, making them feel a great threat.
This son must be eliminated, otherwise he will become a nightmare for both of their sects in the future.
"There's no need for the top ten true disciples. Although he is strong, he is only at the Star Realm. If I send two more king-level talents, true disciples who have just entered the Grandmaster Realm, they should be able to kill him!"
"I don't think that's stable enough..." He Jianyun's eyes were cold, and a cruel look appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said: "Why don't we capture Mu Qianshan from the Sect King Academy, or that old drunkard? Then, during the duel..."
When the others heard this suggestion, their faces all showed signs of interest.
"This plan is excellent! That Soldier Saint doesn't allow the older generation of martial artists to deal with Jun Wu Xie, but we can deal with his sect, and the sect is one of his weaknesses. Hmm, and there's that little girl, but the little girl is always by his side, so we can't find a way to attack."
"Capture who? Mu Qianshan, or Chu Jingtian?" The expert from the Kaitian Sword Sect said lightly: "The Sect King Academy only has two high-level figures in total, so we can only choose one. If we capture both of them, there might be changes in this duel."
"If we capture both of them, the Sect King Academy will have no high-level figures left. That kid Jun Wu Xie might give up the duel and look for other ways to rescue the two of them, which would disrupt our plans."
He Jianyun said coldly: "Then let's capture Mu Qianshan. That old drunkard has been missing for some time, and we don't know where he went, so we're too lazy to look for him. I can lure Mu Qianshan out at any time, and with everyone's help, capturing him will be as easy as flipping a hand!"
"Hmph! The small Sect King Academy is declining and不堪, yet dares to oppose our Qingshan Sword Sect, and even oppose the Kaitian Sword Sect! This time, we will let it be destroyed forever! As long as that kid Jun Wu Xie dies on the life-and-death stage, we can kill Mu Qianshan and Chu Jingtian without any worries, cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and destroy their sect!"
The Vice Sect Master of the Qingshan Sword Sect gritted his teeth, his words were森寒.
That day, the events in the capital city were a great humiliation to their people!
If it weren't for the damn Sect King Academy, how could his Qingshan Sword Sect have come to this?
Even the Sect Master had his head cut off, and a group of high-level figures knelt on the stage, being slapped in the face by Jun Wu Xie in turn.
Such humiliation, such hatred, could not be washed away even with all the river water.
"It's settled then. Come, let's plan carefully. The duel is imminent, and we should seize the time to act. I estimate that that kid Jun is coming back soon, so we have to capture Mu Qianshan before he comes back!"
