Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1624: Chapter 1623: The Fate of Ye Sword Saint

Qi Yongchuan sat in the innermost corner, one of his arms completely gone.

Although the severed arm was brought back after it was cut off by Ye Sword Saint, the Medicine Sect did everything they could, but they couldn’t reattach it. The wound of the severed arm was filled with chilling Sword Qi; no medicine could alleviate it.

Moreover, the Sword Qi continued to tear at Qi Yongchuan’s wound, causing unbearable pain. In desperation, his father had to cut off the remaining half of his arm from the shoulder to relieve him from the torment of the entangling Sword Qi. Nevertheless, his arm was no longer possible to be reattached.

After this incident, Qi Yongchuan became much more sullen, his face full of a cold and dark expression, he said coldly, ”Rest assured, I will make Ye Wantong pay a hundred times, a thousand times for what her father did!”

Everyone laughed. Last time Qi Yongchuan lost an arm to Ye Sword Saint, and now he intended to vent all his hatred on Ye Sword Saint’s daughter.

”It all works out just right. Ye Wantong is already engaged to Su Yang. If you take her, Su Yang would likely be livid,” a person beside him laughed.

The crowd burst into laughter again, Qi Yongchuan’s face filled with a cold smile, as he decided internally to never let Ye Wantong off.

At this moment, a man sitting in the corner suddenly spoke, ”Do you think Ye Sword Saint would obediently go to the Heavenly Court to become a Law Enforcer? His current strength is probably not much different than that of the previous assassin. If he insists on resisting, wouldn’t it be like before, leaving the Heavenly Court helpless?”

This statement brought the laughter to an abrupt halt, and many in the room changed their expressions. This was indeed a crucial point.

The only one still smiling was the Second Elder, who appeared full of confidence, laughingly said, ”Ye Sword Saint may not want to comply, but he has no choice.”

”Why?” The crowd was astonished.

The Second Elder leisurely explained, ”The selection of Law Enforcers is a rule set by the Heavenly Court and Qinghe Academy long ago. You all know the Headmaster of Qinghe Academy; he is a stubborn old fool, always sticking to the rules. This means that as long as the Heavenly Court acts according to the rules, selecting Law Enforcers by the rules, Qinghe Academy cannot interfere. If Qinghe Academy cannot get involved, then who could help Ye Sword Saint? Although there are many Cultivators in the Human World, they are inherently not united, and if only one or two sects jump out to support Ye Sword Saint, wouldn’t that be tantamount to courting death? If only Ye Sword Saint was alone, how could he resist the Heavenly Court? His strength is a bit inferior to the assassin after all. Furthermore, it’s not that the Heavenly Court is truly afraid of the assassin; the assassin has other matters to attend to, which is why the Heavenly Court didn’t want to act against him.”

The crowd was stunned, ”What other matters does the assassin have?”

The Second Elder shrugged, ”I don’t know about that, but the assassin’s matters are relatively important. If the Heavenly Court were to deal with him, then the responsibility could likely fall on the Heavenly Court, which is not the outcome they desire.”

The crowd was even more astonished. They wouldn’t have known these things if the Second Elder hadn’t said so.

”If that’s the case, why not select Ye Sword Saint as a Law Enforcer sooner?” another man curiously asked.

”This is intentional on the part of the Heavenly Court,” the Second Elder chuckled, ”Do you know what the Heavenly Court will do with Ye Sword Saint once they have him?”

The crowd exchanged glances and shook their heads.

The Second Elder smiled and said softly, ”Ye Sword Saint will be sent to the Heavenly Realm!”

”Ah?” The group gasped; they thought Ye Sword Saint would become a Law Enforcer or simply be imprisoned by the Heavenly Court. Who could have imagined that the Heavenly Court would send Ye Sword Saint to the Heavenly Realm? What is going on here?

”Why?” the Sky Blade Peak Master couldn’t help but ask, ”The Heavenly Realm is a place all Land Immortals dream of. To send him straight to the Heavenly Realm, after so many years of defying the Heavenly Court, he still receives such treatment?”

”Not necessarily!” the Second Elder chuckled, shaking his head, ”It’s already been hinted that sending Ye Sword Saint to the Heavenly Realm this time is a punishment. As for how exactly he will be punished, we don’t know. In any case, you all don’t need to worry. Once Ye Sword Saint is selected as a Law Enforcer, he will definitely be sent to the Heavenly Realm. Once he’s in the Heavenly Realm, even if he had heaven-defying strength, he wouldn’t be able to meddle in our Human World affairs anymore!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Indeed, this was fantastic news for them. As long as Ye Sword Saint was sent to the Heavenly Realm for punishment, there was truly nothing for them to worry about.

”Come, let’s all have a drink!” The Sect Leader of Tianya Haijiao raised his glass from the table and laughed, ”Once Ye Sword Saint is gone, we will continue to deal with Qinghe Academy. Haha, I’d like to see how long Qinghe Academy can last after this!”

Everyone was full of joy and picked up their glasses in preparation to toast and celebrate.

At that moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountains outside. Even the people sitting inside the council hall could clearly feel a tremor, as if it were an earthquake.

Everyone’s expressions changed. It was known that the mountain of the Medicine Sect was protected by the Mountain Defense Array, so even if it were a real earthquake, it shouldn’t affect the Medicine Sect. What in the world was happening now?

Everyone looked towards the Second Elder, whose face was also filled with shock. He shouted, ”Someone is attacking the Mountain Defense Array!?”

The crowd cried out in shock, wondering who could be attacking the Mountain Defense Array and causing such a commotion; how powerful was this intruder’s strength?

It must be understood that a sect’s Mountain Defense Array is an extremely formidable presence. The Mountain Defense Array of the previous Major Sect was broken only after a combined effort from many experts of the four Major Sects, who deployed the Hundred Battle Blades, putting in quite an effort to shatter it.

And now, right at the initial sensation of an attack, the mountains of the Medicine Sect were already trembling, showcasing the immense power of this assault!

Everyone rushed out of the council hall, but before they had time to see who was striking, they saw a Longsword descending swiftly from the sky.

A dim light rose outside the Medicine Sect mountains, representing the Mountain Defense Array. But now, even this light had cracks in it, seemingly ready to shatter at any moment, showcasing the terrible power of the previous blow. The Mountain Defense Array was nearly broken.

And now, as the Longsword struck down again, the light curtain shattered directly, without any suspense!

Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the Mountain Defense Array of the Medicine Sect, and it was shattered by just two strikes? Who was this person, with such incredible strength?
