Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 862 - Senior Brother Ding Was Back

Chapter 862 Senior Brother Ding Was Back

“Who dares to smear the River Palace?” Li Lan sneered and waved her hand.
A middle-aged man wearing the sect uniform of the River Palace was brought up. He was handcuffed and his strength was sealed. The man got close to them under the escort of Li Yunqi and Lyu Kuang. He was caught on the spot when he attacked a disciple of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect ten days ago.
The outer elder of River Palace Luo Tong’s expression changed instantly.
“Isn’t this villain named Luo Xuan a disciple of the River Palace?” Lyu Kuang suppressed his anger and asked.
The elder Luo Tong’s face darkened, and he finally said, “Luo Xuan is indeed a disciple of our River Palace, but he betrayed us a month ago and left the River Palace, so we are looking for him everywhere now. However, I don’t expect that he would fall into the hands of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Thank you very much. Send him to me, and I’ll take him back and punish him myself.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, trying to pull Luo Xuan over by pulling out his strength.
Li Lan took a step forward and waved her hand. The jade color flowed in her palm and silently dissolved the force. She said, “But Luo Xuan confessed that it was you who directed him to attack the disciples of our sect. Our core disciple, Zhao Xingcheng, was missing when he went out for training, and it was you who caught him...”
“Nonsense.” Luo Tong’s expression changed drastically and became furious. He said, “This beast not only betrayed the sect but also slandered me. You deserve death!”
Before he could finish his words, with Qi surging, he hit the forehead of Luo Hou with his palm. In an instant, Luo Xuan’s brain burst out and died directly with disbelief in his eyes.
Li Lan and the others did not expect Luo Tong would be so ruthless and didn’t have any preparations.
“Now that this evil creature has been killed, Sect Leader Li, you should believe me, right?” Luo Tong swung his sleeves, smiled slightly, and said, “But back then, so many disciples of your sect have disappeared and been killed because of the Six Immortal Gates and the Divine Herb Garden. I think both of them are ominous things. Sect Leader Li, you must make plans in advance to resolve this disaster.”
Li Lan sneered and said, “In your opinion, what should I do?”
Luo Tong said calmly, “The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has become a treacherous place. If Sect Leader Li has great courage and wisdom, why don’t you leave with the sect and find a new place for your sect? With Sect Leader Li’s ability and Ding Hao’s strength, it won’t be difficult for you to rise again.”
Li Lan laughed out loud. Suddenly, she stopped laughing and said word by word, “The mountain gate was obscured by the flesh of the ancestors of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Why should we move it? If someone covets the treasure in our sect, then come and try. Let’s see if the sword in my disciples is sharp.”
“Well said! Well said! Your words are really enlightening.” A sharp light flashed in Luo Tong’s eyes. He said, “Since Sect Leader Li doesn’t understand my good intentions but insists on staying in this treacherous place. If the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect suffers a disaster in the future, don’t regret it.”
“Old man, are you threatening us?” Lyu Kuang was almost furious.
Luo Tong sneered and said nothing.
Li Lan waved her hand to stop the furious Lyu Kuang and Li Yunqi and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, she said, “Zhao Xingcheng is Senior Brother Ding Hao’s close friend. He and Senior Brother Ding Hao were born in the slums of the back mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect at the same time. If he is killed, I’m afraid that Senior Brother Ding Hao will take revenge by all means.”
After that, she left with the disciples of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
Luo Tong’s expression changed slightly when he heard this and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, his figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.
Outside the hall.
“Leader, are we just going to let it go? That old man is obviously covering the fact up. The River Palace has evil intentions and it is not a good sect...” Lyu Kuang said hatefully.
Li Lan shook her head and said, “We can do nothing since there isn’t enough evidence. I was careless this time and let Luo Tong kill Luo Xuan. Without Luo Xuan’s testimony, we can’t do anything to them even if we go to the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost.”
Li Lan felt annoyed.
These people who secretly harbored evil intentions were really hateful. Facing such a behemoth as the River Palace, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was still too weak to do anything to it with its current strength. Even if Li Lan was resourceful, she could do nothing for a while.
“According to Luo Xuan, Junior Brother Xingcheng is indeed in the hands of River Palace. Did you say those last words to save Junior Brother Xingcheng, leader?” Li Yunqi said thoughtfully.
Li Lan nodded and said, “It is hard to get him out but we can probably save his life. Nowadays only Ding Hao could make River Palace this giant sect frightened.”
Li Yunqi sighed secretly.
He knew that Li Lan was right.
However, Senior Brother Ding Hao was alone and couldn’t split, so it was hard for him to care about everything. Although the trap he set half a year ago killed countless superiors of the Demon Clan and created the illusion that Ding Hao had not left, after all, half a year had passed. If Senior Brother Ding did not show up, every side would definitely suspect and have different judgments about this.
At the moment, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, like sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any time because of the Six Immortals Sect and the Dragon Qi in the Great Abyss, faced great danger.
But to move the sect was a humiliation for the entire sect.
Moreover, the place with picturesque scenery in Snow Province and even the Northern Region had long been occupied by the major forces of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, so it was difficult to find a base for the sect. To say the least, even if there was a suitable place, it took time and energy to move the whole sect, which would definitely cause a great loss to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
That was what caused Li Lan pain.
The Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship-seeking Sect stood on the side of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. But false friends are worse than open enemies. Even the giant sect like River Palace was secretly making trouble, so it was harder to guard against others.
Looking at Li Lan’s lean back, Li Yunqi felt a little sorry for this stubborn and strong Sect Leader.
Over the past few years, as a woman, she had supported such a huge sect and had been faced with countless enemies and unpredictable situations. If it weren’t for the help of Ding Hao, Zhang Fan, and other geniuses, she would have been mentally and physically exhausted.
If there were more peerless geniuses like Senior Brother Ding in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, leader Li Lan might not have been so toilsome.
Li Yunqi secretly blamed himself for not being talented enough to share the sect’s burdens.
On the street, the towns around Mirror Lake were crowded at this time and it was as busy and prosperous as before.
Li Yunqi looked around at the smiling people and then thought about the hypocritical faces of people like Luo Tong. Such peach came at a price of the flesh and blood of Ding Hao and other disciples from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but how did these people treat the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect now?
Suddenly, there were two disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect walking quickly away from him.
Li Yunqi was shocked and wondered if something happened.
“Could it be that another disciple of the sect was in trouble?” Li Yunqi thought.
The two men hurriedly came to Li Lan, bowed, and whispered something in her ear.
Li Yunqi clearly saw that Li Lan, who had always been calm, shook slightly and showed a strange look. Then she waved her hand and quickened her pace to the direction of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa.
Li Lan and Lyu Kuang looked at each other and didn’t know what had happened, but they had a bad feeling and followed Li Lan closely.
After a while, they arrived at Swordsmanship-seeking Villa.
The villa was heavily guarded, with hundreds of experts over Primordial realm guarding every inch of the land as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This made Li Yunqi and Lyu Kuang even more uneasy.
After entering the inner part of the villa and walking through the familiar corridors and pavilions to the back hall, Li Yunqi, who was anxious, heard a burst of laughter from afar and saw the core disciples of the sect outside the main hall smiling as if there was something happy.
“What is going on?” Li Yunqi wondered
Li Yunqi felt a little relieved since it seemed nothing bad happened.
He followed Li Lan into the back hall and heard jubilant laughter from inside. Then Li Yunqi saw the figure sitting deep in the hall talking to Wang Juefeng, Zhang Fan, and the others. At this moment, he and Lyu Kuang was astonished and opened their eyes wide.
“Is he… Senior Brother Ding?
It is Senior Brother Ding?!”
He is back?” Li Yunqi thought.
After being shocked for a while, Li Yunqi was so thrilled that he trembled all over.
He had never expected that he would see such a scene.
“Ding Hao had entered the immortal land through the chessboard transmission formation half a year ago, but now he was in front of me. Didn’t that mean... Senior Brother Ding had returned from the immortal land?
Could it be that...he has already become an immortal?”
“Huh huh, Junior Brother Yun Qi, you seemingly don’t want to see me.” Ding Hao laughed and walked toward him with a teasing smile.
“No... I was just too excited...” Li Yunqi hurriedly wiped his eyes to make sure that everything he saw was not an illusion. He said ecstatically, “Senior Brother Ding, you are really back... Have you become an immortal?”
Ding Hao laughed and said, “It’s still early to become an immortal. It’s an accident that I came back this time.”
After greeting everyone in the hall and seeing everyone sitting down in sequence, Ding Hao said with a smile, “I have an important thing to discuss with you this time. However, no matter what the final result is, Sect Leader Li Lan has a final say over this matter.”
Everyone looked at Ding Hao.
Li Lan also looked at him in confusion.
Ding Hao smiled and said, “I want to move the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to the immortal land. What do you think of it?”
It was dead silent in the hall.
Everyone looked at Ding Hao in a daze.
Li Lan opened her mouth wide and looked at Ding Hao in disbelief.
“You... you mean...” Wang Juefeng, the cynical man, pulled his beard to make himself soberer by the pain. He looked at Ding Hao blankly and subconsciously confirmed what he understood literally, “You mean that you want to take the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to the immortal land? Is that what you mean?”
