Chapter 589 Verbal sparring is not my intention (Part 2)
“We, the Shenxiao Dao, are not like some petty people. We shoulder the responsibility of upholding justice and are wholeheartedly devoted to our ancestors.” Ji Boyuan chuckled. “We, the righteous people, believe in not seeking fame or fortune, but in serving the common people and the great Dao.”

"Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? The arrangements made by our Celestial Masters' predecessors are naturally based on profound principles. No matter how many of you uncouth people come, you will only cause trouble."

“Junior brother, it doesn’t matter if you’re not tall, but if you’re narrow-minded, you won’t go far.”

"If we're talking about being vengeful, who can compare to your Shenxiao Sect?"

"To eradicate evil completely is indeed the consistent style of our sect."

Mingwei and Ji Boyuan of the Celestial Masters Sect were arguing fiercely, and Su Che didn't know what to do.

Although Senior Brother Ji's lines were quite good, his extremely arrogant attitude affected the persuasiveness of his words. Given the consistently good relationship between the Divine Firmament Dao and the Yellow Heaven Dao, should I now step in and take sides?

Just as Su Che was about to speak, he heard the front door creak open.

"Wow, it's so lively here."

A swordsman in a blue robe, carrying a long sword on his back, pushed open the door and then quickly and carefully closed it.

"Young Master Yun, it's been a long time since I last greeted you. Brother Ji, you've gotten into another argument? I think it's better to fight than to argue. This must be Junior Brother Ming Weiming from the Celestial Masters Sect. He's truly a young hero, quite extraordinary indeed. Brother, you look somewhat familiar; I wonder where I've seen you before."

The bearded swordsman chuckled and looked around before pulling over a futon and sitting down next to Su Che.

"Oh, I remember now. A couple of years ago, I went to the Qingdi Temple to burn incense and prayed to the gods to help me find a good wife. The statue there looked just like my brother. Could you be Su Che, the reincarnation of the Qingdi? Ah, Senior Yu Lizi is truly a great teacher who has taken on such a magnificent disciple as my brother."

"I am Su Che. May I ask who you are, esteemed brother...?"

Before Su Che could finish speaking, this person immediately gave a loud "yes".

"I am Xiao Feiyu, the Left Assistant of the East Sea Sword Palace, the Chief Clerk of the Sikong Pavilion, in charge of confidential documents, known as the Divine Sword of Shock, and ranked twenty-eighth on the East Sea Void Sword Cultivator Ranking."

Su Che couldn't help but think of a joke: how could so many people sit on a single futon?

"Brother Xiao is indeed remarkable. I've heard that the East Sea is full of hidden talents, and for you to rank twenty-eighth on the Void Stepping Ranking is truly extraordinary. You can be said to have overshadowed your peers in the cultivation world..."

"Sigh, they just randomly ranked them back then. There were only about a hundred people who signed up for the Bu Xu class, but it's still a result."

Xiao Feiyu laughed heartily: "When you're traveling the martial world, the longer your name, the more intimidating it is."

Su Che and Xue Baizhi looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

However, Xiao Feiyu was clearly the kind of ruthless person who wouldn't let his words fall to the ground, and he continued.

"Young Master Yun, oh dear, I've heard that Lord Dongting is recruiting heroes from all directions and is plotting something big. I wonder what he's preparing? The East Sea isn't exactly blessed with good weather these days. I wonder if Lord Dongting is pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"We don't have that much free time."

Yunlu continued playing with the folding fan in her hand: "I've heard that there are remnants of a demon god causing trouble in the East Sea. The Sword Palace is having a hard time defending itself. If you want to find someone to help, Brother Xiao, just let me know."

"Sigh, our swords are for slaying demons and monsters. Sooner or later, we'll wipe out the East Sea completely. Young Master Yun, don't be nervous. You are all righteous gods of heaven and earth, not demons. On this trip, we even killed two boar dragons out of boredom. Haha, we almost let them transform into powerful dragons..."

"Then Brother Xiao, you must be careful, lest you be defeated and disgrace the sword at your waist."

These people spoke with veiled barbs, and Su Che sensed that the relationship between the Sword Palace and the Dragon Clan was not exactly harmonious.

It seems that before even encountering the extraterrestrial demons, our own people will have to fight to the death and prove who is superior right here in this small building.

Finally, the door creaked open, easing the awkwardness. The person who entered was an acquaintance of Su Che's.

Baichi Tianya of Bailudong pushed open the door and entered. This Elder Zhongjia was dressed in black, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at him. He glanced at the people who were talking, but remained silent and quietly found a far away futon to sit down.

"Who am I? It turns out to be Baichi Tianya from Bailudong."

This time it was Su Che's turn to get revenge.

"So it was Marquis Changxin."

Bai Chi Tianya sat down at a distance and asked, "What advice do you have for me?"

"It's nothing, I'm just overjoyed to see everyone at White Deer Cave looking so energetic."

"Thank you for your concern, my lord."

"You must take good care of yourselves. I will visit you later to offer incense to your ancestral masters."

That's right, I chopped up the memorial tablets into firewood and burned them for you.

"If Your Excellency is willing, the entire White Deer Cave will await your arrival."

This person clearly possesses the foundation of Confucian self-cultivation skills, remaining neither arrogant nor humble, and speaking with composure.

"Unfortunately, Yu Chen doesn't have such good fortune. Some people are just hypocritical and pretentious, but they shouldn't back down when it comes to actually sacrificing themselves for righteousness."

Bai Chi Tianya remained silent, pretending not to have heard a word.

The group was arguing fiercely, and it seemed that the grand meeting at Xuandu Palace was about to turn into a life-or-death struggle between enemies.

Finally, the Venerable Puxiang, who had made a bet with the Buddha Amoghavajra, reappeared here.

"Gentlemen, why don't you listen to what I have to say?"

Puxiang appeared in the air, sitting on a moon-white lotus platform, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable."

When a powerful earth immortal appears, everyone rushes forward to pay their respects, but no one knows where the Buddha Amoghavajra is.

"This void rift is connected to the Blood River Realm, affecting the peace of our realm. Therefore, our sect has distributed invitations to all fellow cultivators. In addition to fellow cultivators from the Xuanmen Celestial Master, Huangtian, and Shenxiao sects, we also invite cultivators from the Buddhist and Demonic sects, the Sword Palace and Dragon Clan of the East Sea, as well as Yuyang Mountain and Bailu Cave in the Central Plains."

"Of course, the Buddhist master Chang Le Bu Kong has come in an avatar; our friends from the demonic sect seem to lack courage..."

"However, these are minor matters. As you may already know, our sect had originally decided on eight tokens for entering the ancient underworld, which had already been completed. Later, the sect leader thought it was necessary to open the door to convenience, so he added five more tokens according to the number of the five elements, making a total of thirteen."

"If anyone can seal this void rift and restore peace to the world, our sect will offer a token as a reward."

"Heaven and earth are impartial, and my Xuandu Palace, which temporarily governs this world, is equally impartial. Therefore, regardless of which side or faction you are from, you can enter the void rift. As long as you can complete the seal, you will obtain this token, no matter what your background is."

"That is precisely why this time it is a case of a dragon crossing the river, and everyone should be extra careful."

"However, there are a few things I must clarify. When the Nine Yuan Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect opened this void passage, it had already been isolated and modified by the predecessors of the Celestial Masters Sect, so it has many special characteristics."
