Chapter 368: The Prodigy List Appears! A Scheme! Knowing Shame and Then Courage (Part 2)

"

"..."

"What's your choice?"

Threeleaf remained silent.

"In my opinion, there are no great masters in the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace."

It only cultivated the Sword Dao, so if she wanted to choose a master to learn from, she could only pick someone from the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace.

But the Sword Dao in the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace...

Was just so-so.

In the past year or two, San Ye might have still thought highly of the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace, but now, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace was just that.

She even took a wrong turn.

To teach myself...

Teach myself what?

Walk the wrong way?

"So, I choose the Imperial Scripture."

Her thoughts were simple; she just wanted to bring it back to enrich the Moon Holding Sect's Scripture Repository.

This is all about 'foundation'!

The Moon Holding Sect currently has more than five Imperial Scriptures, but ultimately, it's still not enough. At least compared to the various Sacred Lands, it's not even close.

And this is just a part of the foundation.

Any sect that wants to develop cannot rely solely on one person.

Perhaps, if there's an unparalleled Heavenly Pride, they can carry the sect forward, or even sprint ahead, but alone, they will inevitably be unable to manage everything.

Therefore, this requires the joint effort of all sect members.

Together, they will complete this puzzle.

And each piece of this puzzle, in a few years, will become the 'foundation' of this sect.

It is the cornerstone of the sect's development.

It is also the sect's most important asset!

However...

San Ye felt she had no issues, and her words were all true, without a hint of falsehood.

But when the people of the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace heard this, they instantly became furious, their noses even crooked with anger.

"How dare you!"

"Absolutely how dare you!"

"Are you saying our Sword Palace has no one?!"

"Your talent is indeed exceptional, and no contemporary Sword Cultivator can match you, but what about my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace?"

"How dare you shame us so!"

"You say my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace has no one?!"

"Fine, if you have the guts, come to my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace for a battle, and let's see if my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace truly has no one!"

"Rest assured, we will suppress our cultivation and fight at the same level as you, and let's see if you are truly invincible!"

"Sorry, if I offended you..." San Ye calmly responded, "But what I said is the truth, and it's from the bottom of my heart."

"If you want to say we have no one, I'm not specifically targeting your Vast Wilderness Sword Palace..."

"But in my eyes, and under my sword, there is indeed no one."

"Hmm, except for the Sect Master."

The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace Elder was so angry that he nearly choked on his own blood.

The audience below was also stunned, and at this moment, they all became excited spectators, thrilled beyond measure.

Everyone had thought that the Heavenly Pride Gathering had ended and the Heavenly Pride List had temporarily concluded, with nothing more to see, but then, there was this exciting spectacle?

The Uncrowned King, San Ye, was arguing with the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace!

She even said that the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace had no one!

Furthermore, she didn't even consider the Sword Cultivators of the entire Immortal Martial Continent!

"There's no way this will end well!"

"The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace is the Sword Dao Sacred Land, and generation after generation, who knows how many exceptional Sword Cultivators have emerged from it? How can you tolerate this insult?"

"San Ye is too arrogant. I thought Long Ao Jiao's arrogance was unmatched in the world, but I never imagined someone could be even more arrogant than her. Whose subordinate is this?"

"Sigh, I'm a Sword Cultivator too, and I can't just stay silent, can I?"

"Shh, don't argue, let's see what the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace has to say!"

"..."

...

"Well said, there'so you claim that no one can match your sword skills." The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace Elder laughed in anger, "You think that winning against a few young ones makes you the best, and that you've reached the peak of the Sword Dao?"

"Come to my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace for a battle!"

"If you win, we'll acknowledge your invincibility."

"But if you lose..."

"Stay in my Vast Wilderness Sword Palace for ten years as a menial apprentice, sweeping leaves and tending to flowers for my Sword Palace, dare you?!"

"Don't agree to his terms!" Jian Zi's face turned grim, "This old fellow is provoking us. You are strong, but you're still too young. The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace's foundation is astonishing. If you go there recklessly, you'll surely suffer a great loss."

"I understand."

San Ye's heart was unwavering as she responded, "Whether I'm invincible or not, the world will have its own judgment. There's no need for your acknowledgment."

"Scared?" The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace Elder took a step forward, pressing her.

"Unafraid."

"Then why are you backing out?"

"Backing out?"

San Ye refuted, "If I win, all I get is an unmeaningful acknowledgment. Do you think this 'prize' is fair?"

He was taken aback.

Then, he realized that it did seem unfair.

After all, the acknowledgment of the entire Vast Wilderness Sword Palace was indeed more valuable than a mere prize.

But at this moment, he couldn't say that, and could only frown in response, "Then what do you want?"

"It's simple."

San Ye smiled lightly, "The Sword Dao Imperial Scripture, all three volumes. Open the Scripture Repository, and I'll choose."

"And send another Elder to come to my Moon Holding Sect to teach our Sword Cultivators."

"Oh? Hmph."

The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace Elder sneered, "You say we have no one, yet you want our Elders to teach you? That's contradictory. If you're so capable, why don't you go yourself?"

"I..."

San Ye fell silent.

At this moment, countless people were whispering.

After all, it was indeed a bit contradictory.

After a moment, San Ye sighed, "I'm leaving now."

"Our sect is currently in a period of vigorous development. Although it has been in decline for many years, and its foundation is lacking, I'll teach this Elder before I leave, and he'll be barely sufficient."

"Furthermore, I'll also find two more Ninth Level Sword Cultivators, and with three of us, it should be enough for the short term to ensure the normal growth of the Moon Holding Sect's Sword Cultivators."

"As for ten years later..."

"Jian Zi, Jiang Ni, and the others have already grown, so there's no need for your intervention."

"The Vast Wilderness Sword Palace Elder was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is this possible?!"

"It's simply outrageous!"

This elder's surname was Chen, and his given name was An.

At this moment, he couldn't find any peace or stability.

"How dare you! You're truly arrogant, even daring to instruct our sect's elders?"

"Fine, I'll grant your request!"

"I'll see how you instruct our sect's elders, and how you surpass our entire Sword Palace!"

"No one beneath the sword? Later on, you'll open my eyes!"

"..."

"Of course."

Threeleaf calmly responded, almost causing Chen An to explode with anger.

But Xiao Ling'er and the others were anxious.

"You're leaving?"

"Where are you going?"

"You're not coming back, are you?"

"Speak up, let's think of a solution together."

Threeleaf remained silent.

After a moment, he sighed, "I can't explain it clearly, but I have a hunch. I'm leaving, and it won't be for too long."

"After that..."

"!!!"

Xiao Ling'er and the others wanted to ask further, but Threeleaf kept his mouth shut, leaving them with no choice but to anxiously wait.

...

"Threeleaf is leaving?"

Lin Fan was astonished, but he soon calmed down.

"It's as I thought. It's probably a Great Power's rebirth, and after such a rebirth, there are usually two states."

"One is retaining their memories, and the other is losing them, but they gradually recover their memories as time passes and their cultivation increases."

"Obviously, Threeleaf is the latter."

"Perhaps now, he's recovered a portion of his memories. And for such a Great Power's rebirth, it's unlikely to be a 'normal rebirth'. It's either being killed by enemies or betrayed and framed by their own people."

"So... the first major goal of a Great Power's rebirth is revenge."

"Maybe Threeleaf has recovered this part of his memory. So, when he says he's leaving, he's probably returning to where he originally belonged, to seek revenge and reclaim everything that was once his."

"And if that's the case, then his departure, his destination..."

Lin Fan looked up at the sky and murmured, "The Upper Realm?"

"It's a bit troublesome."

"But... we shouldn't be gone for too long."

"Hopefully, we can help out when the time comes."

"When he returns, we should have a good chat."

"..."

...

The subsequent 'Award Ceremony' was relatively calm.

There wasn't much of a commotion, and it lacked any real highlights.

It was just...

Even the reward for the tenth rank was enough to make ordinary Heaven's Pride envious and jealous, but unfortunately, it wasn't their turn.

Finally!

This event, which shook the entire Immortal Martial Continent, with Heaven's Pride participants accounting for eight or nine out of ten, came to a close, drawing the curtain and ending it all.

The spectators gradually left.

But...

The heat didn't dissipate.

Instead, as they departed, they took the news back to their homelands, causing a huge stir throughout the Immortal Martial Continent, with countless people discussing it.

"What? Almost all the Sacred Lands were annihilated?"

"Moon Holding Sect took seven out of the top eight spots? Eleven Sacred Lands participated, and only one Holy Son managed to secure the seventh spot?"

"Is this true? How is this possible?"

"It must be fake!"

"I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible for something like this to happen!"

"It's definitely fake, you're lying!"

"Where did this idiot come from? If you're going to lie, at least make it more believable. Everyone knows Sacred Lands are invincible, especially with so many Heaven's Pride, Holy Sons, and Holy Daughters participating. I don't believe a word you say!"

"Hmph!"

"..."

Initially, those who heard this news didn't believe it.

But as more and more people with accurate information spread the news, they had no choice but to believe it.

"It's actually true?!"

"Oh my god!"

"This is a bit too shocking and unbelievable, isn't it?"

"Moon Holding Sect, what a sect! What kind of sect is this? How strong is their foundation? They can actually nurture such Heaven's Pride, and even a group of them?!"

"They must be defying the heavens!"

"From this perspective, Moon Holding Sect's methods and abilities in nurturing disciples are probably even above the major Sacred Lands!"

"..."

In Zhongzhou, the Lei family was in an uproar.

"Someone, investigate this!"

"Investigate thoroughly, I want to know everything about Moon Holding Sect!"

"Family Head, Young Master..."

"That little bastard, he's gone crazy! How many enemies has he made for us this time?"

"Make him come back immediately, I'll skin him alive!"

The Lei family members were speechless, all rolling their eyes.

If you put it that way... who dares to come back?

Are you kidding?

"Family Head, calm down. It's not as serious as you imagine, at least not in the short term. As long as we handle it properly during this period..."

"It's easy to say, but not so easy to handle properly. What if..."

Just as he was about to explode with anger, a carefree voice sounded, "Dad, I'm back!"

"Oh? Are all the uncles, aunts, and cousins here?"

Lei Zhen held a long string of storage bags, patting his chest, still feeling a bit scared.

"You scared me!"

"Quickly close the door, we can't let her rush in!"

Just thinking about that eight-foot-tall 'sister' with an eight-foot waistline and her constant pestering, Lei Zhen's face turned green.

"You little brat, how dare you come back?"

The Lei family head was about to explode with anger, spitting everywhere.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"I won big this time, and you still want to beat me up?"

"I'm beating up this little brat."

The Lei family head was furious, roaring and spitting, almost drowning everyone out.

Title: The Betrayal of Lei Zhen

Chapter: The Dispute

"You're from the Central Plains!"

"Even if you don't care, we do!"

"So, what about the Moon Holding Sect?"

"How will others view you, and how will they view us, the Lei family?"

"Not only that, but you keep boasting, and even go as far as mocking and insulting others from the Central Plains, and their factions too!"

"After it's all over, you'll make sure they win, and even take their pants off, leaving them with nothing!"

"How will that make them think of you?"

"How will that make them view us, the Lei family?"

"Now, even though they haven't come knocking on our door, the doubts and accusations are piling up. Our Lei family is on the verge of being turned upside down."

"Are you trying to bring our Lei family to ruin?"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Lei Zhen's eyes narrowed.

"We've sworn a fair oath under the Heavens. If they lose, how can they go back on their word?"

"That's not how it works!"

Lei Zhen was furious.

"Who the hell snitched?"

"If you can't take the loss, don't play the game!"

"After losing everything, you're trying to pressure me with your family's influence, wanting me to go back? Well, well, well, this is how you play the game, huh?"

"How can you be so shameless?"

"Father, please calm down."

Lei Zhen chuckled bitterly, "Don't bother with those idiots. I see them as paper tigers, they don't dare do anything."

"Actually, I came back today to discuss something with you."

Lei Zhen was a bit hesitant and nervous.

Although the old man had said it was important, he believed his own matters were more crucial.

But...

They probably wouldn't agree.

However, no matter what, he had to try his best to fight for it.

What if...?

If he agreed...

"Go fuck yourself!"

Lei Zhen's face darkened as he scolded.

Actually...

Although he was angry, deep down, he was also quite happy.

It was true that others had come to cause trouble, but the premise was what? The premise was that his son had successfully put on a show and made a name for himself.

"My son has made a name for himself! He's finally accomplished something!"

But...

This was a difficult situation.

Even though he wasn't truly going to do anything to Lei Zhen, this was something that had to be done. Otherwise, how could he give an explanation to his clan?

"That's how it is, Father."

Lei Zhen shrunk his neck, "As for me... cough, cough, you see, Father, I..."

"What is it?"

"It's just that I..."

"Are you going to speak or not?!"

The Lei family head casually threw a teacup towards him, and Lei Zhen didn't dare to dodge. With a loud bang, the teacup shattered, and Lei Zhen fell to his knees with a loud thud, and even knocked his head on the ground twice, "Father!"

"Uncles, aunts, I, your unfilial son, wish to... join the Moon Holding Sect."

"You!!!"

The Lei family head had already picked up another teacup and was about to throw it, but upon hearing these words, he froze, "What did you say?"

It was over.

Lei Zhen sighed in his heart, knowing that they wouldn't agree.

What could be done now?

Sigh, if death was to come, then so be it!

"Father, I wish to join the Moon Holding Sect!"

Everyone: "..."

Silence.

Deadly silence.

Lei Zhen was stunned.

What's going on?

Why the silence?

This kind of silence was the most frightening.

He was helpless.

Quietly raising his head...

Before he could see clearly, his vision blurred.

A figure approached and directly helped him up, and even clapped his knees twice to get rid of the invisible dust, "Oh dear!"

"Let's talk things out, why are you kneeling?"

Lei Zhen: "???"

He blinked, his face full of confusion.

"You're talking nonsense!"

The Lei family head's face was filled with righteousness and indignation, "Who said that?"

"Who's spreading rumors about me?"

"Who's slandering me?"

"He's slandering me!"

The Lei family head's spittle flew as he wildly waved his hand, denying it to the end, "My dear son, what were you saying?"

Lei Zhen blinked, reaching out to touch the Lei family head's forehead.

"..."

Their eyes met, one glaring and the other shrinking back.

"What are you doing?"

"Father, I just want to see if you have a fever."

"???"

"You little brat, do I have a fever?"

"You don't have a fever?" Lei Zhen was shocked, "From small to big, you've never spoken to me in this tone."

"I've always been useless, a piece of trash, the most unworthy one in the Lei family, even if I make a name for myself, it's all because of the Shadowless Sword..."

"Moreover, I want to join another sect, if you don't kill me, that's already a blessing, and you're still talking so nicely?"

"This isn't because you have a fever?"

"Father!"

Lei Zhen's face turned serious, "Honestly, I..."

The Lei family head's face darkened, "I'm not having a fever!"

"That's right, Father, you've scared me to death."

Lei Zhen patted his chest, "I thought you'd lost your mind."

"I haven't!"

"Then why?"

"You should just speak the truth, otherwise, I'm afraid. Is it that you want to trick me and then stab me in the back?" Lei Zhen gritted his teeth, "I'm here, you can take action."

"Whether I stick my neck out or hide, it's still a stab."

"But I'll say this upfront, as long as you don't kill me, I will definitely join the Moon Holding Sect."

"That's the only sacred land in my heart!"

Mentioning the Moon Holding Sect, Lei Zhen's eyes lit up, and it was even visible to the naked eye, almost like laser eyes.
