Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 234 Sword Intent Amber

"Don't..."

The shock on the face of Red Blood Sword Sect's Saint Heir was palpable. He never expected Qinchuan to be so unrestrained, completely disregarding his status as the Saint Heir of the Red Blood Sword Sect, as if crushing him was no different from stepping on an ant on the ground.

This sent shivers down his spine and chilled his heart. In all his years since stepping onto the path, he had never encountered someone so bold and unscrupulous.

At this moment, he felt death closer to him than ever before, and a hint of fear started to take root in his heart.

"Stop! Hold on, hold on..."

Just then, the grey-eyed old man, who had previously been swept away by Ye Xuanji's sleeve, rushed forward, shouting. He bowed deeply to Qinchuan and Ye Xuanji and then spoke, "Young Master, indeed, our Sect's Saint Heir was at fault earlier, offending you. I ask the Young Master to be magnanimous and to spare our Sect's Saint Heir from his earlier offense. Our Red Blood Sword Sect will be eternally grateful."

The grey-eyed elder lowered his posture greatly, apologizing and asking for forgiveness.

Bowing his head in such a manner under the public eye was undoubtedly damaging to the face of the Red Blood Sword Sect.

However, in the current situation, they were at a disadvantage and had no choice but to bow their heads.

It was essential to save the life of the Red Blood Sword Sect's Saint Heir first.

As the saying goes, "So long as the green mountains remain, there will always be wood to burn."

Hearing the grey-eyed elder's words and seeing how he was humbling himself, apologizing publicly, Qinchuan glanced at the Red Blood Sword Sect's Saint Heir and said to the grey-eyed elder, "Making mistakes requires paying a price. If a simple acknowledgment of fault sufficed, wouldn't that make me, the Young Master, seem kind and easy to bully?"

The grey-eyed elder hastily added, "As long as the Young Master is willing to forgive, our Red Blood Sword Sect is willing to owe the Young Master a favor."

However, Qinchuan shook his head with a smile and said, "How much is your Red Blood Sword Sect's favor worth? Can it possibly fend off the Jiuli Ghost Sect?"

The grey-eyed elder's face turned awkward upon hearing this. Although the Red Blood Sword Sect was a top-tier force, how could it possibly confront the Jiuli Ghost Sect?

"How about this, I have heard that your Red Blood Sword Sect possesses a Mysterious Stone imbued with Sword Intent. Let's take that as compensation," Qinchuan said indifferently.

The color drained from the grey-eyed old man's face upon hearing this.

Sword Intent Amber, a precious treasure of their Red Blood Sword Sect.

Within the Red Blood Sword Sect, there lies a Sword Abyss.

In that Abyss, there is a constant surge of Sword Qi, and deep within, a violent Sword Intent churns, contained within the Sword Qi.

Over long years of accumulation, a Mysterious Stone was born within the Sword Abyss, absorbing the essence of its Sword Intent.

That Mysterious Stone is the Sword Intent Amber.

The pure essence of Sword Intent within Sword Intent Amber can help sword cultivators comprehend Sword Intent. This type of Sword Intent Amber might not form even once in ten thousand years and is a rare treasure in the world.

Qinchuan, mentioning Sword Intent Amber right away, naturally made the grey-eyed elder reluctant to agree easily.

"Sword Intent Amber is indeed precious, but your Red Blood Sword Sect has been established for over a hundred thousand years, right? You must have gathered more than one Sword Intent Amber. Are you telling me you can't even part with one?" Qinchuan said methodically.

With his expression changing, the grey-eyed elder finally spoke after a long pause, "I agree to your terms."

"You can't make that decision alone; he must agree to it," Qinchuan said with a hint of a smile on his face, signaling Ye Xuanji to release the Red Blood Sword Sect's Saint Heir.

"I agree to give you a piece of Sword Intent Amber," the Red Blood Sword Sect's Saint Heir hastily coughed a few times, then with a flicker in his eyes, he spoke to Qinchuan. In his gaze towards Qinchuan, there was a mixture of fear and apprehension.

"Very well, I have recorded everything the two of you have said this time, and I hope you will not go back on your words, otherwise..."

Qinchuan raised the memory crystal in his hand and said with a light laugh.

The Saint Heir of the Red Blood Sword Sect and the gray-eyed elder's expressions changed slightly, "Of course, we will not go back on our words."

Suddenly, the crowd around the lake burst into an uproar.

"That young man actually forced the Red Blood Sword Sect to bow down, using the Sword Intent Amber as the price for this provocation..."

"I didn't expect the Congyun Sect, after so many years of decline, to still be so domineering, truly worthy of the reputation of the once Imperial Dao Sect."

"The Red Blood Sword Sect has really bled this time, just because of a few provocations, they've lost a treasure like the Sword Intent Amber..."

"Do you really think the Red Blood Sword Sect will hand over the Sword Intent Amber willingly? This is just a temporary measure by the two Saint Heirs of the Red Blood, or rather, it's to give that Congyun Sect kid a way out for agreeing. Do you really think the Congyun Sect kid would dare to go to the Red Blood Sword Sect to demand the Sword Intent Amber?"

"..."

Around the lakeside, many people were discussing animatedly.

Even the people from the Jiuli Ghost Sect near Qinchuan and the others couldn't help but show varied expressions. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Han Jiuming glanced at Qinchuan, his eyes containing a trace of chill.

After the conflict with Qinchuan, he had immediately sent people to investigate Qinchuan's background and had already figured it out, with murderous intent forming in his heart.

If it weren't for his concern about Ye Xuanji, Han Jiuming would have acted long ago.

However, he was still somewhat doubtful and didn't understand why Ye Xuanji, the founder of the Taixuan Sect, would become a protector of a declining sect like the Congyun Sect.

But this was not important.

What was important was that he had already applied to the sect for a strong character.

The strong character dispatched by the Jiuli Ghost Sect was now racing towards Tianqing City.

The Saint Heir of the Jiuli Ghost Sect traveled the world and represented the face of the Jiuli Ghost Sect.

And previously, Qinchuan had directly confronted the Saint Heirs, and even his words contained a hint of scorn for the Jiuli Ghost Sect.

To defend the sect's reputation and deter all parties, the Jiuli Ghost Sect would naturally not let the matter rest easily, so they approved the Saint Heir's request and dispatched a strong character to Tianqing City at once.

However, before the strong character sent by the sect arrived, Han Jiuming did not plan to confront Qinchuan.

Therefore, regarding Qinchuan taking a seat beside him, he remained silent from beginning to end as if he hadn't seen him.

He didn't utter a single provocative word either.

"Sword Intent Amber, heh, your Excellency truly asks for the moon; the moment you opened your mouth, it's for such a priceless treasure like the Sword Intent Amber."

Just then, from behind the crowd by the lake, suddenly came a light chuckle, followed by the sound of a sword's hum, as a streak of sword light flew over the heads of the people and fell into Green Blood Lake.

This was a long-haired young man in his thirties, wearing a moon-white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes that gave him a somewhat heroic look. Locks of hair lightly hung at his temples, and a longsword was carried on his back, his aura quite sharp.

Moreover, as soon as this person appeared, the cultivation aura he exhibited was also very remarkable; he had already reached the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm and wasn't far from stepping into the Dao Palace Realm.

"It's Ye Wei, the descendant of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Around the lakeside, the crowd exploded, looking at the newcomer with eyes full of shock, "The Heavenly Sword Sect is located in the western region of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, far from Tianqing City, and it takes over half a year to get here even by flying on clouds!"

Someone exclaimed, surprised that the descendant of the Heavenly Sword Sect would cross such a distance to attend the meeting.

"Making a fuss over nothing. For an ancient and powerful sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, which has control over Ancient Teleportation Formations, such a distance is negligible."
