Sword Spirit

Chapter 163: Matters Disclosed

When the blade faction great elder said this, the sword faction’s three great elders and Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and Lin Tian all widened their eyes in shock!

They hadn’t thought that Lu Xuan would actually be so wild!

Publicly killing people in the blade faction territory, and not just only killing one or two, but five in one go!

Previously when Lu Xuan had killed those five blade faction disciples, it just so happened another disciple saw it. He originally had also wanted to block Lu Xuan, but seeing Lu Xuan’s power, he didn’t dare to poke his head out and could only hide to the side without daring to make a sound.

And because Lu Xuan was anxious to save Lin Xin Yi, he didn’t notice there was a fish that slipped through the net. Once he had left, this disciple had hurriedly informed the blade faction elders.

“Killing same sect disciples is the sect’s taboo, an unforgivable sin! I know your sword faction is jealous of my blade faction. I hadn’t thought you would actually be so unscrupulous, publicly coming to my blade faction to kill people. This matter, my blade faction absolutely will not let go of. That Lu Xuan must die!” The blade faction great elder’s tone of voice was very natural. With evidence in hand, he could confidently die without a burial place!

Speaking truthfully, when he heard the disciple’s report, saying that Lu Xuan had killed five blade faction disciples, the blade faction great elder had not immediately felt shock but instead joy.

Lu Xuan’s talent had long since been recognized by the masses. If he were allowed to develop, then in the next great sect competition, the blade faction wouldn’t be to even think about sitting in first place. He was just pondering over how to find an opportunity to get rid of Lu Xuan. Who would have thought that he would proactively send himself up to his door. If Lu Xuan’s life could be traded at the cost of five disciples, he was entirely happy to do so. Compared to the blade faction’s prosperity, what did the lives of five disciples count as.

Facing the blade faction great elder’s overbearingness, Xia Ye and the others all looked to Elder Cheng, wanting to see how Elder Cheng would respond.

When he had just heard the news of Lu Xuan killing five people in a row, Elder Cheng indeed was beyond shocked, but then his mind began turning to think of how to absolve Lu Xuan. As the sword faction’s hope, no matter what, he had to protect Lu Xuan.

Seeing everyone’s eyes resting on him, Elder Cheng slowly spoke: “Lu Xuan’s killings all must have reasons. If it wasn’t for Xu Wen Yang having kidnapped my sword faction’s disciple, why would he be so crazy. Thus, in the end, the responsibility still lies on your blade faction. Could it be that your blade faction’s people can move against my sword faction, but my sword faction can’t retaliate? If I haven’t guessed wrong, your five disciples must have wanted to stop Lu Xuan from saving lives so he was forced to accidentally kill them!”

When Elder Cheng said this, Xia Ye and the others’ faces brightened. Elder Cheng indeed wanted to protect Lu Xuan, and his words also let Xia Ye and the others admire him. Clearly Lu Xuan had taken the initiative to kill. From Elder Cheng’s mouth, it had changed into a matter of Lu Xuan saving lives and was counter-attacking in self defense, accidentally killing them.

Elder Cheng’s words undoubtedly enraged the blade faction’s four elders. The great elder angrily shouted: “Perverting logic, shameless! No matter what, since Lu Xuan killed my blade faction’s people, it’s not going to be easy for him to escape death!”

“The public will judge. The sect has law enforcement elders to judge. Right now I will go find Lu Xuan as well as that disciple kidnapped by Xu Wen Yang. Get out of my way.” Facing the blade faction great elder, Elder Cheng had no fear.

Hearing this, the blade faction great elder showed surprise and asked: “Lu Xuan’s still in the blade faction? Where is he?”

“Since that Xu Wen Yang is the kidnapper, he should be at Xu Wen Yang’s place. If you still don’t get out of my way, if I see my sword faction disciple has any harm come to her, don’t blame me for bringing this matter to the sect master!”

Hearing that Lu Xuan was currently at Xu Wen Yang’s place, the blade faction elder was happy rather than mad, thoughts flying through his mind.

He was naturally clear about Xu Wen Yang’s strength level. Although Lu Xuan was strong, he hadn’t been in the sect for very long. He definitely wouldn’t be Xu Wen Yang’s opponent. Also, Lu Xuan had killed people outside. Once he arrived at Xu Wen Yang’s place, how could he be in good shape.

(TN: He’s assuming that Lu Xuan really exhausted himself killing those cannon fodder earlier, and maybe they’re also factoring in the Lin Tian fight, but I’m pretty sure they barely know about it and they definitely didn’t watch it)

Once Lu Xuan took action, Xu Wen Yang absolutely wouldn’t submit without resisting. Also, with his understanding of Xu Wen Yang, after they started fighting, there was a very real possibility of him “accidentally” killing!

Thinking that Lu Xuan very likely was already dead by Xu Wen Yang’s hands, the blade faction great elder’s mood immediately improved. Although Lu Xuan had killed first and he was extremely confident in guaranteeing Lu Xuan’s death, but Elder Cheng’s words weren’t without logic. Once a ruckus made it to the law enforcement elders, perhaps that matter would have changed. Since it was like that, it would be better for Lu Xuan to simply die and everything would be finished. If the person was already dead, then even if the sword faction investigated, so what?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the blade faction great elder’s face. Uncharacteristically cooperative, he said: “Since Lu Xuan is currently at Xu Wen Yang’s place, and both are involved parties, I’ll send someone to bring them over. Everyone does not have to make this trip. You sword faction three great elders have already not come to my blade faction for a long time. It would be better if you all rested a bit and drank some tea so that no one can say that my blade faction doesn’t understand how to entertain guests.”

How could Elder Cheng not know what the blade faction great elder was thinking. Without a doubt, he was stalling for time to let Xu Wen Yang and Lu Xuan fight, hoping that Xu Wen Yang would “accidentally” kill Lu Xuan.

This was also what Elder Cheng and the others were most afraid of. Although Lu Xuan could beat Lin Tian, that didn’t mean that he was Xu Wen Yang’s opponent. As long as Lu Xuan didn’t die, everything would be fine. If he was really killed by Xu Wen Yang, then it would all be meaningless. To waste words with the blade faction people here was already reaching Elder Cheng’s limits.

“Elder Xu, Elder Lin, let’s go. I want to see who dares to block our path!” Elder Cheng coldly glared at blade faction’s great elder, his eyes filled with warning intentions.

Sword faction’s decline referred to the sword faction’s next generation lacking people. It didn’t mean that Elder Cheng’s trio’s strength would lose to the blade faction elders. If they really began fighting, the winner and loser would not be clear.

No longer paying attention to the blade faction elders, Elder Cheng’s trio lifted Xia Ye and company and continued to fly towards the blade faction residence extremely quickly!

Watching Elder Cheng’s people charging forward, the blade faction great elder’s face had a mixed expression, but in the end he gave up the idea of forcefully blocking and fighting. To the elders behind him, he said: “Walk. We’re also going. After such a long time, I’m guessing that Lu Xuan should already be totally dead. Them going over is only to pick up the body. I want to see their faces when they see Lu Xuan’s corpse.”

Finished speaking, the blade faction great elder was the first to move and urgently chased. He was worried that after seeing Lu Xuan’s corpse that Elder Cheng and the others would become so angry that they would attack Xu Wen Yang. That wouldn’t be good.

All the elders strength’s were spirit refining realm and could tread through the air. Their speed was from something that a body refining realm martial artist like Lu Xuan could compare to. Very soon, the blade faction residence was in sight.

“There’s the smell of blood!”

In the air there was the stench of blood. Elder Cheng’s expression changed.

“I’m afraid that Lu Xuan has already fought with Xu Wen Yang. Could it be…” Elder Xu’s face was a bit ugly. He really worried that the scene he imagined had occurred.

“Don’t worry. Lu Xuan absolutely won’t die to Xu Wen Yang. His strength is much stronger than we think.” Lin Tian spoke words of comfort. Among the people present, the one who understood Lu Xuan’s strength the most and had the most right to speak was undoubtedly Lin Tian because he had just finished a duel with Lu Xuan just a while ago.

“I also know Lu Xuan will not easily be defeated by Xu Wen Yang, but this is the blade faction’s territory. If that Xu Wen Yang has helpers by his side, then it’ll be hard to say.” Elder Cheng’s face sank.

The blade faction elders were following Elder Cheng and company from not too far behind. The stench of blood in the air was naturally also smelt by them.

“Hahaha, it seems like that it most likely bodes ill for that Lu. That kid Xu Wen Yang likes to have fun here and normally won’t have anyone close by. It definitely won’t be someone else’s blood.” Blood faction’s great elder loudly laughed.

As he spoke, the two groups had arrived in front of the blade faction residence. Elder Cheng’s was the strongest and had the best vision. In a moment, after arriving in front of the blade faction residence, he noticed a corpse. His face changed. Someone had died. Who was this person?

The two groups landed at the same time and went straight to the corpse. Elder Cheng was the first to arrive with the blade faction following tightly behind. Seeing the corpse, Elder Cheng and company let out a sigh of relief. Although this corpse had been beheaded by someone, from the uniform, it was obvious that it wasn’t Lu Xuan’s corpse.

The blade faction great elder and them furrowed their brows. It wasn’t Lu Xuan?

But afterwards, their brows relaxed. Looking at Elder Cheng, he revealed a ghastly smile: “This uniform is a fist faction disciple’s clothing. I hadn’t thought that Lu Xuan wouldn’t limit himself to only killing my blade faction disciple and even moved against fist factions disciples. Also, he even beheaded him. Such an evil and vicious disciple must be killed as soon as possible!”

“This person is the fist faction’s Long Tian. It was him who tricked Xin Yi away from the sword faction and then kidnapped her. His crimes deserved more than death!” Xia Ye suddenly shouted. Yao Lei had told them the story. He naturally was clear about it.

“Originally it was jackals from the same lair, deserving to die! Moreover, there’s no evidence. How do you know it was Lu Xuan who killed. Maybe it was that Lu Xuan worried about revealing his loss so he killed the witness.” Elder Cheng still spoke excuses for Lu Xuan.

“There still the stench of blood inside. Fighting didn’t only occur in here.” Elder Xu suddenly said.

With Lu Xuan on the mind, Elder Cheng didn’t waste any more words with the blade faction people. The group hurriedly went inside. Without needing to take time searching, they followed the stench of blood

Quickly, including the four blade faction great elders, a group of ten people came to the master bedroom of the blade faction residence and only saw that the master bedroom door had been smashed. The powerful stench of blood was coming from here!

It was silent inside without the sound of any fighting. Obviously it was already settled. Elder Cheng and the others became increasingly uneasy and the blade faction elders revealed happy expressions. The powerful stench of blood definitely meant someone died. It was extremely likely that Lu Xuan was already successfully killed by Xu Wen Yang!
