If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 399 Even Emperor Yu is afraid of Tianxu Tower
The fact that Cheng Yuejie was the reincarnation of a great swordsman was soon known to the Dayu court through Mo Changzai, and a subtle atmosphere continued to spread in the court.

They all knew that they should discuss the affairs of the ten sects now, but everyone was still more concerned about Cheng Yuejie, the invincible swordsman of the Sword-Asking Ceremony.

Even though they were in control of the situation, they still didn't understand how the invincible sword intent came about.

Li Yanmo's words pushed the matter of Cheng Yuejie, the invincible swordsman, to a new height.

"Sword Dao...powerful? Reincarnated and cultivated again?" Leng Shanhe had a strange expression on his face. "Master Li, what are you doing..."

They really didn't know whether Li Yanmo was pretending to be confused or had other deeper meanings.

Minister of Revenue Ye Shen expressed his opinion, "This is probably another plot by Lord Li. This time, Cheng Yuejie swept the entire Sword Ceremony with her invincible sword intent, leaving even those sword prodigies of the late Great Wilderness feeling ashamed. This move has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Immortal Palace."

"Cheng Yuejie's identity isn't difficult to investigate. The Immortal Palace must already know that Cheng Yuejie is a disciple of the Qingshan Sect. Naturally, they can follow the clue of the Qingshan Sect to Tianxu Tower and Lord Li himself—"

Ye Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Master Li is probably planning to intervene in the game himself, lure the Immortal Palace into action, and then exploit their weakness!"

Leng Shanhe touched his chin and nodded, but did not agree out loud. Instead, he turned to look at the other ministers and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Leng Shanhe paused and added, "Master Li is a master strategist. Every move he makes carries a profound meaning. You should know that with just a few moves nine years ago, Master Li was able to advance the sect registration system that Dayu had been pondering for tens of thousands of years without implementing to this point."

"So please use your brains and don't overlook any details."

After hearing what Leng Shanhe said, the ministers in the court frowned and began to think seriously.

"At this time, someone spoke up. Could it be... that this is to cover up for Xiao Yun?"

Everyone in the court knew that Xiao Yun was planning to drain the Immortal Palace as much as possible.

If the Immortal Palace is asked to take out things all the time to test its strength, it will inevitably become suspicious. However, if there are other more serious things to attract their attention, the Immortal Palace's attention to Xiao Yun will definitely decrease, which will make it easier to get the Immortal Palace's gold coins.

Leng Shanhe nodded, "That's definitely a consideration, but it's definitely more than that. There must be other reasons."

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Master Li...could it be that he is setting a trap for His Majesty the Immortal?"

Leng Shanhe and other ministers rolled their eyes in unison.

It seemed as if everyone knew that Li was setting a trap.

"I mean... Sword Gate."

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment and then lowered his voice, as if he was talking about something taboo.

“…Louder.”

"Jianmen! I mean Jianmen!" The Minister of Rites shouted, "I suspect Lord Li intends to use the reconstruction of Jianmen as a way to trick the Immortal Palace into revealing its true intentions."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought.

There are only four pillars in the world, so there are only four doors.

The sword pillar was originally abandoned and no longer used, but because the sword sect tried to establish the Sword Gate with the sword pillar as its center, Dayu had to smash the sword pillar with his own hands.

They have always suspected that the Immortal Palace was behind the Jianmen incident, but the Immortal Palace was too good at hiding and being evasive.

Everyone was discussing the Minister of Rites's inference.

There were many other considerations when destroying the sword pillar besides the iron rule of the four pillars and four gates.

Political needs are one of them.

Dayu rose to prominence in the wilderness, so he understood the chaos that would arise when each sect ruled independently. Without a framework to constrain them, sects could easily clash, leading to a bitter feud. For the sake of countless ordinary people in the world, the Dao Sect was essential. Even though he knew it was straying from Dayu's original vision, Dayu could only endure it.

But if a Sword Sect emerged, wouldn't that mean the sect's overall voice would become two? From two comes three, and from three comes everything. This wasn't a matter of one pillar or two, but rather the beginning of a split.

Today we have the Sword Sect headed by the Kendo Sect, and tomorrow we may have the Fist Sect, the Spear Sect, and the Knife Sect headed by the Fist Sect.

This is the kind of development that the Immortal Palace, headed by the reincarnated immortals from the Great Wilderness period, wants to see.

Leng Shanhe pondered for a moment and then said, "You mean, Master Li intends to let the Immortal Palace think that Tianxu Tower intends to use this Sword-Asking Ceremony to attract sword cultivators from all over the place, so as to uh—"

Leng Shanhe hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"The Invincible Sword Intent calls on the Sword Cultivators to rebuild the Sword Sect?"

The Minister of Rites nodded and added, "That might be one of the reasons. Lord Li's plan can't be that simple."

At this time, another person interrupted and said, "This Sword-asking Ceremony came too suddenly. It was most likely the work of the Immortal Palace. This was probably not part of Lord Li's plan. Lord Li may have just gone with the flow."

Leng Shanhe frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "Impossible. Why do you think the Frost Realm was broken at that time? Could it be that the Sword Immortal accidentally lost control of his emotions and unleashed that supreme and ruthless sword intent?"

The man immediately slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Leng Shanhe taught him, "Lord Li is not a god who can predict the future, but he is a mastermind who makes plans and makes the Immortal Palace act according to his ideas."

The Minister of Rites nodded, "Perhaps the reason why he entrusted our Dayu to take care of Xiao Yun was to lure the Immortal Palace into the trap today."

The other ministers nodded.

At this time, Emperor Yu, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, suddenly said, "Call Xiao Yun."

The ministers in the court were all shocked, standing side by side on both sides and bowing respectfully.

A moment later, Xiao Yun appeared wearing half armor.

"See Your Majesty——"

Yan Xian in Xiao Yun's ring immediately clasped his hands together and prayed.

Now is the moment of life and death.

This is the most powerful Emperor Yu in history, with all-powerful means. Only by hiding the truth from the Emperor Yu in front of him can he feel at ease.

At this moment, Yan Xian suddenly felt that he might have been impulsive.

"Xiao Yun, do you admit your guilt?"

The light words were like a mountain crashing down. Xiao Yun, who had the bones of a saint, was forced to kneel on the spot. His blood vessels burst one after another, but Xiao Yun still maintained his posture of saluting.

Yan Xian in the ring covered his face and dared not look.

"I am aware of my guilt."

"You... shouldn't have touched the ancient cave of Tianxu Tower."

When these words were spoken, Yan Xian's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

Even the most powerful Emperor Yu throughout history was afraid of the Tianxu Tower?!
"I know the crime!"

"Your mistake is that you think you are right to be afraid of the Sky Void Tower," Emperor Yu sighed, "although I am afraid too."

I am also afraid that once these three words are spoken, Yan Xian will suddenly feel that his previous self was really not afraid of death.

Even the self-centered Emperor Yu was afraid of Tianxu Tower, but he wasn't afraid!?
