Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5456 Factionalism

Suppress for 100,000 years?

Throwing him into purgatory?!

Jian Wushuang was thoroughly enraged. Though he wasnʼt clear about the connection between the opponent and Si Tian, it was evident that their relationship was extraordinary. They were causing him trouble on purpose.

As the Master of Longevity Hall finished speaking, a dry cough sounded from below.

”Brother Tie San, youʼve got quite a temper!”

The speaker was none other than Wu Zuo, who had just walked out of the main hall.

Seeing Wu Zuo, the Hall Master of Longevity Hallʼs expression darkened, and he sneered, ”Since Lord Wu Zuo is here, itʼs even better. This kid violated the rules at Yuanyang Lake. According to the rules of the Enforcement Hall, spending 10,000 years in purgatory isnʼt excessive, right?”

”The rules were set by several Palace Masters, naturally not excessive!” Wu Zuo rose into the air, arriving in front of the group, but his figure stood next to Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Zuo, whispering, ”Hall Master!”

Wu Zuo waved his hand, interrupting him, and continued, ”Old Tie San, donʼt think that with your big brother backing you, I wonʼt dare touch you!”

As he spoke, the temperature in the surrounding space dropped.

Wu Zuoʼs expression was even colder, as if he could kill at any moment.

Having just failed to reach an agreement with Emperor Lu Hua in the main hall, he was filled with anger. Now, a Hall Master from Longevity Hall dared to ride on his head. If it werenʼt for the rules, he could have slapped the guy to death.

What a ridiculous situation!

This guy ordered him to arrest his own people!

Tie San also refused to show weakness. This was Yuanyang Lake, and he bet that Wu Zuo wouldnʼt dare to act here.

Although Wu Zuo was the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, the faction he belonged to had always been at odds with Wu Zuo. They had offended each other long ago, and this time was no different.

”The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, openly defying the law?” Tie San sneered, rising with a similar momentum, secretly competing with Wu Zuo.

However, this time, he made the wrong bet.

Wu Zuo didnʼt make a move, but he condensed a violent aura into an extreme point, directly rushing into Tie Sanʼs body and exploding.

”Ah!” Tie San grunted, then angrily pointed at Wu Zuo, ”You dare to make a move?”

”Make a move?” Wu Zuo chuckled, ”If I really make a move, even your big brother coming wonʼt save you from dying a hundred times!”

Hum!

In the distant sky, a change occurred, and a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared in the air, sternly saying, ”Enough, Tie San!”

”Big brother!” Tie San was a bit unwilling, losing face in front of the younger generation, and for a moment, he couldnʼt step down.

But as Wu Zuo said, if they really fought, even with his big brother here, Tie San wouldnʼt be a match.

In the end, he could only brush shoulders with Wu Zuo, leaving, and joining the black-robed man.

The man in the black robe stared at Wu Zuo, saying calmly, ”Brother Wu Zuo, donʼt you think your words were a bit too harsh just now?”

As soon as the words fell, an invisible giant hand stretched out, secretly competing with Wu Zuo for a moment.

But it seemed that neither of them suffered.

”Just this little trick, if we really fight, youʼll be the first one lying down!” Wu Zuoʼs face darkened.

The opponentʼs aura was strong and overbearing, but in terms of real strength, it only touched the top supreme-peak level, still some distance away from him.

Among the three Palace Masters of the Elder Palace, the strongest was Qingniu, followed by Emperor Lu Hua. Wu Zuo was most familiar with Emperor Lu Huaʼs strength; they used to be brothers.

Tie Sanʼs big brother, Tie Jian, also known as Changfeng Sword God, had the weakest strength. Back then, it was Emperor Lu Hua who asked Wu Zuo to support Changfeng Sword God. With Wu Zuoʼs support, only then did he qualify to be a Palace Master.

Now, he appeared pretending to be a powerhouse.

Originally, this time he had a chance to vie for the position of Palace Master, but secretly, he was squeezed and suppressed by Qingniu and Changfeng working together.

Now, seeing the other party, he was filled with anger.

Although the Elder Palace appeared solid from the outside, internal conflicts were escalating rapidly.

Qingniuʼs methods were cunning. This time, he provoked a confrontation between Lu Hua and Changfeng, sitting on the sidelines to reap the benefits.

In terms of strength, Qingniu was among the top experts in the supreme-peak level, almost reaching the pinnacle, not much different from Wu Zuo.

In terms of methods, he was unparalleled. The previous alliance between Lu Hua and Changfeng had now been resolved.

Compared to Qingniu, Lu Hua hated Changfeng even more than Wu Zuo. This was the sophistication of his methods.

”Tsk tsk, Wu Zuo, now you are the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Remember your identity!” Changfeng, sneered, leaving with Tie San and Si Tian.

Wu Zuo was infuriated but could only seethe with helpless rage!

In ancient times, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Sighing, Jian Wushuang remained silent on the side, feeling a bit sorry for Wu Zuo. ”Hall Master Wu Zuo, Iʼve caused you trouble.”

”It has nothing to do with you. I brought trouble upon you. I have some grievances with Changfeng, or else he wouldnʼt have provoked you for no reason.” Wu Zuo shook his head.

Then he continued, ”By the way, you donʼt need to bother with these people. You are the Inheritor valued by Lord Zhen Ling. They dare not harm you. This is my communication token. If you need anything, find me. If Iʼm not around, go find Situ; he can also help you.”

”Thank you!” Jian Wushuang accepted the token.

Wu Zuo didnʼt say much and left directly. How could he be someone content with such circumstances? This time, upon returning, he would probably be plotting for the position of the Palace Master.

Watching his figure depart, Jian Wushuang surprisingly felt a sense of pity for Wu Zuo.

Expelled and marginalized, after finally finding solace in the Elder Palace, he was the one sent to the frontlines to kill enemies. However, his path to promotion and wealth was abruptly cut off by others.

The past glory was like fleeting clouds, and one had to become stronger!

If Wu Zuo were at the pinnacle of the supreme-peak, perhaps Changfeng wouldnʼt dare to be so arrogant.

However, at that level, advancing was not easy. Resources, treasures, potential, and insight were all indispensable.

Jian Wushuang shook his head, pushing these thoughts aside. He followed the Heavenly Dao, and other miscellaneous paths were not suitable for him.

Thinking more about it was futile; what he needed to do now was to elevate himself, establish a solid foundation, and prepare for the Dao Merge.

As the saying goes, you only regret not using the book when you need it.

With the vast amount of treasures spent on cultivation, without support, where would he get more?

Especially for these supreme-peak powerhouses like Wu Zuo, ordinary treasures were useless to them. To obtain more powerful resources, they had to take a higher position.

A Hall Master in the Elder Palace was clearly insufficient.

After becoming the Palace Master, the resources obtained would be much more. However, the resources were limited, divided into three parts, and no one wanted to give up a share for Wu Zuo.

Fortunately, Jian Wushuang had not reached that point yet.

He currently possessed many treasures, enough to support him until he reached perfection.

The problem lay in the numerous treasures required for the integration of the Dao, some of which were incredibly expensive and difficult to find even in the Four Great Secret Realms.

If he were on Grave God Mountain, he wouldnʼt need to worry. Zhen Ling would prepare everything for him. However, the issue now was that he couldnʼt go to Grave God Mountain.

He had considered finding a few strong individuals to escort him to Grave God Mountain, but the cost would be considerable. It was better to wait for the successful Dao Merge and rely on his own strength.
