Chapter 530: The Overbearing Demon Sect Leader
Chapter 530: The Overbearing Demon Sect Leader
Tie Kaicheng looked at the middle-aged man, his gaze also drifting to the five figures standing at a distance behind him.
Perhaps due to their location in the heart of the Central Plains, or perhaps they didn't want to attract too much attention, they had forgone their distinctive attire and instead wore black, each with a border of gold, silver, copper, or gray.
The Golden Lion, Silver Dragon, Copper Camel, and the Iron Swallow couple.
The Demon Sect Leader had indeed ventured into the Central Plains and made his way to Mount Tai, but it wasn't for the alliance of the seven factions.
No, he was here to witness the duel between Xie Xiaofeng and Yan ShiSan!
In the original story, the duel between Xie Xiaofeng and Yan ShiSan took place in an uninhabited maple forest, and before the duel, very few people in the world knew of their whereabouts.
But now, the news of Yan ShiSan challenging Xie Xiaofeng had spread far and wide. The Demon Sect Leader, himself an unparalleled swordsman, was curious and had come to Mount Tai to witness the duel. This was a reasonable explanation for his presence.
"The Demon Sect Leader?" Tie Kaicheng asked.
The Demon Sect Leader smiled indifferently. "The common folk are ignorant and fear the divine and demonic, not understanding that god and demon are two sides of the same coin, a mere dichotomy presented to the foolish."
Tie Kaicheng nodded as if it were only natural. "So, it's still the Demon Sect Leader."
The Demon Sect Leader was unbothered and unangered by this. He nodded slightly. "That's fine too."
The Copper Camel looked at the Demon Sect Leader with reverence in his eyes, while the Golden Lion, Silver Dragon, and Iron Swallow couple glanced at Tie Kaicheng with flickering, strange, and apprehensive eyes before resuming their expressionless faces.
At that time, the Silver Dragon's address to Tie Kaicheng had made him angry, but the Demon Sect Leader seemed to have a broad mind, befitting the leader of a sect.
"I'm the chief escort of the Red Flag Escort Agency, and I have no interest in joining the Demon Sect." Tie Kaicheng shook his head, his tone calm and peaceful.
The Demon Sect Leader said indifferently, "The entire Red Flag Escort Agency can join my sect as long as they sincerely believe in the true god, vow to purify their hearts, and strive to purify the world. They will then become brothers and sisters of my sect."
Tie Kaicheng smiled. "Your ambition is too grand. The Red Flag Escort Agency doesn't have such beliefs or abilities. It's enough for us to sustain ourselves."
The Demon Sect Leader looked at Tie Kaicheng and commented indifferently, "Your martial arts skills are decent, but your heart is not broad enough. Without a heart that embraces the world, how can you cultivate martial arts that rival the world?"
"There are many kinds of martial arts realms," Tie Kaicheng shook his head, implying, "If you want to embrace the world, you should go to the capital to take the imperial exam and realize your ambitions."
The Demon Sect Leader said, "Alliance and contention are not the strong suits of martial artists."
"Then what are you good at?" asked Tie Kaicheng.
"Using the blade to break free from shackles, using the divine to purify the heart, establishing rules for all under heaven to follow," replied the Demon Sect Leader.
"Are you from the Central Plains?" Tie Kaicheng asked.
The Demon Sect Leader frowned. "Does it matter?"
"If you're from the Central Plains and have some historical knowledge, you shouldn't be so naive," Tie Kaicheng smiled. "Those who act arrogantly will meet their end, and their lamp will be snuffed out."
The Copper Camel's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "You're asking for death!"
This rebuke attracted the attention of many people around them.
While the ordinary martial artists didn't react, the disciples and elders of the seven major sword sects, Shaolin, and the Beggar's Sect, as well as some of the more experienced old hands in the martial arts world, narrowed their eyes, their gazes fixed on the Demon Sect Leader and his group, their faces filled with shock.
Facing hundreds of gazes filled with surprise, anger, hidden resentment, fear, and sharpness, the Demon Sect Leader remained unmoved. He said to Tie Kaicheng, "As long as people fear the blade's intent and the divine resides in people's hearts, the rules will last forever."
The Demon Sect Leader said indifferently, "Even if I die, the blade will remain.
Iron Kaicheng shook his head, "When our paths differ, we shall part ways."
The Demon Sect Leader also shook his head in disappointment, then waved at Sun Xingyu, "Come back."
Sun Xingyu's expression changed as she looked at Iron Kaicheng.
The Demon Sect Leader turned to Iron Kaicheng, "My sect's saint will not marry an outsider."
Seeing the Demon Sect Leader's lofty and matter-of-fact attitude, Iron Kaicheng clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow as he smiled, "Aren't you someone who embraces the world? How come there's a distinction between insider and outsider now?"
The Demon Sect Leader was taken aback, pondering for a moment before replying, "As long as people do not believe in the true god, there will naturally be a distinction."
Iron Kaicheng nodded in understanding, "What you say makes sense, but I never intended to marry her."
A trace of disdain flashed in the Demon Sect Leader's eyes, then he heard Iron Kaicheng continue indifferently, "I have many women, and she is just one of them."
A sharp glint flashed in the Demon Sect Leader's eyes.
"Well now, isn't that a broad mind you have there? How can you get angry over such a trivial matter. As the leader of a sect, your demeanor should remain unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses before you, or deer spring up to your left. That's the basic attitude, right?" Iron Kaicheng smiled.
The Demon Sect Leader looked at the nonchalant Iron Kaicheng and fell silent once more, then spoke, "The number of socalled experts from the seven major sword sects, the three great sects, and Shaolin who have died under my blade has already exceeded twenty."
With these words, the surrounding crowd, who had been dazed, all turned pale and couldn't help but take a step back together.
"Amita Buddha!"
Zen Master Tianming chanted the Buddha's name, his eyes rolling up as the light in them dimmed, "We have failed to welcome you properly, Demon Sect Leader, upon your arrival in the Central Plains."
The Demon Sect Leader smiled faintly, "Hypocrites."
The Demon Sect Leader looked around, his gaze sweeping over them, "I know you dare not make a move, and I did not come here to cause you trouble. Now that you have chosen your alliance leader, you may all disperse."
The disciples and elders of the several major sects had their complexions turn red, then green, feeling extremely ashamed.
Wu Tao from the Diancang Sect stepped forward, pointing his finger and cursing, "You venomous Demon Sect! It's fine if you wreak havoc outside the pass, but now that you've entered the Central Plains, you're still so arrogant. Others may fear you, but I do not. Come, let me experience this magic blade of yours!"
After Wu Tao finished speaking, the Six Swords of Diancang all stepped forward, drew their swords, and prepared to form the Seven Absolute Sword Formation.
However, before they could take another step forward, they were blocked by the Flying Eagle Swordsman from the Diancang Sect, who had also come to the Central Plains.
"The seven orthodox sects formed an alliance at Mount Tai to deal with the Heavenly Emperor, not the Demon Sect. You have no say in front of the Demon Sect Leader, get back!" The Flying Eagle Swordsman said in a deep voice.
Jade Bamboo from the Wudang Sect stood with his sword, in front of the Four Spirits and Three Jade.
Kunlun's Twin Swords, Canging Zi and Cangsinx Zi, protected the Kunlun disciples behind them.
Master Pinxin from Emei lowered her head, her hands folded in front of her, but the long sword at her back trembled slightly.
Lin, the Elder of Kongtong, stood on the side, his right hand appearing to grasp something, ready to draw his sword at the fastest speed.
At that time, Wan Ningzi from the Hainan Sword Sect had been killed by Iron Kaicheng, and Li Yunzi was in an awkward position, but he could only grit his teeth and stand in front of his fellow disciples, indicating that he would advance and retreat together with the other six major sword sects.
Qiu, the master from Mount Hua, had red eyes. His eldest brother had died under the Demon Sect Leader's magic blade, and his chest rose and fell as he struggled with his anger, but he dared not step forward to fight to the death.
Hua Yukun carefully examined the Demon Sect Leader, then tightened the yellow cloth bundle in his hand and slowly walked out.
"Husband..." Xie Fenghuang reached out her hand.
Hua Yukun casually waved his hand and said indifferently, "I am a disciple of Mount Hua."
