“Since it is Young Hero Ye who spoke, there must be no mistake.” After a big laugh, Yan Shijiu looked at Han Li and shouted, “You’re embarrassing yourself, hurry back.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
Han Li's face turned red, filled with resentment towards Qin Chen, but he did not dare to disobey Yan Shijiu's orders, turning back to the front of the square.
“And you, encouraging my Demon Sword Sect disciples to do evil, considering your status in Sword Valley, I will not kill you, but roll out of here and strip you of your qualifications to inherit the Demon Sword.”
With a wave of his hand, Yan Shijiu directly grabbed Xu Wang and threw him out of the Demon Sword Square like a chick.
Xu Wang fell to the ground outside the Demon Sword Square, landing in a pitiful manner, but he did not dare to utter a word, getting up with a dirty face and running away in a dejected manner.
Yan Shijiu scanned the crowd, speaking loudly, “Everyone, my Demon Sword Sect always upholds fairness in our actions, even when opening the Demon Sword inheritance. The reason we do not restrict powers or cultivation levels is to allow the sword cultivators from the Northern Sky Domain to have opportunities for improvement, walking further on the path of the sword.”
“You may compete among yourselves, but if you encourage my Demon Sword Sect disciples to do evil, do not blame me for being ruthless.”
Yan Shijiu's loud voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, drawing discussions from those around, all filled with admiration for the Demon Sword Sect.
Indeed, as a sect, apart from the Demon Sword Sect, there were few others that would open opportunities for training, inheritance, and assessment to disciples from other forces; other forces would cherish their own.
“Master Yan speaks well.”
“Truly worthy of the Demon Sword Sect, we admire you.”
Everyone shouted in unison.
Yan Shijiu smiled slightly, pressing his hands down, and said loudly, “Now, there is still some time before the true opening of the Demon Sword inheritance. I have a secret technique from ancient times, which is an inheritance obtained from the Demon Sword.”
At this point, Yan Shijiu sighed and said, “Unfortunately, the secret technique is incomplete and cannot show its full scope. Today, since many talented sword cultivators are gathered here, I will throw out a brick to attract jade. If you can decipher these few incomplete phrases, my Demon Sword Sect will treat you with the courtesy of a distinguished guest and grant you the title of honorary elder. In the future, the sword techniques in my Demon Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion will be available for you to practice.”
“Haha, great!”
“Master Yan is generous!”
“What secret technique is it? Please let Master Yan show us.”
Everyone became interested. A broken secret technique obtained from the Demon Sword inheritance? How significant could it be that it led Yan Shijiu to make such a grand promise?
A sect's sword pavilion open for practice? That was essentially the entire sect opening itself up to them.
Everyone began to feel tempted.
Yan Shijiu seemed to be well-prepared, taking out a thick stack of paper and distributing it to the many talented sword cultivators present.
Ye Wuming and Ye Wudao each took a sheet and examined it carefully.
Naturally, You Qianxue was no exception, filled with curiosity. What could be such a precious secret technique that the sect master of the Demon Sword Sect held in such high regard?
However, Qin Chen did not go to take one.
“Brother Qin, aren’t you interested in the ancient secret technique?” Ye Wuming asked in confusion.
“Hehe.” Qin Chen smiled slightly, “Since Master Yan speaks so solemnly, this secret technique must be extraordinary. How could I not be interested? However, since even the full strength of the Demon Sword Sect couldn't decipher it, how could we possibly do so?”
He had already seen Yan Shijiu's profound swordsmanship; in the realm of sword intent, he had reached an incredibly high level. If even he could not decipher the sword technique, how could they?
