NOVPUBUpon seeing the True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword, Ye Xuanji’s gaze couldn’t help but sharpen.
This True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword was a Supreme Saint, peak powerhouse of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and it was said to be infinitely close to the Emperor Realm, very likely to become another Quasi-Emperor of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The strength of this True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword was evident.
However, the Heavenly Sword in front of him was only a thread of consciousness incarnated within Ye Wei’s ancient sword, so naturally, its strength couldn’t possibly match that of the original body.
Even so, it could still launch an attack with the strength of a Supreme Saint.
Yet, after the appearance of the True Incarnation of Heavenly Sword’s consciousness, it did not immediately make a move; instead, it gave Ye Xuanji a courteous bow.
Obviously, the Heavenly Sword also perceived that Ye Xuanji was no ordinary person. Although Ye Xuanji was only at the peak of the Saint Realm, the threat he posed was not negligible, and the Heavenly Sword had no absolute certainty that it could strike him dead in one blow.
If he couldn’t kill Ye Xuanji with one fatal strike, then Ye Wei would still die.
Even a severely wounded Ye Xuanji could easily kill a younger member of the Spirit Martial Realm.
Ye Xuanji also didn’t immediately act, facing the incarnation of a Supreme Saint peak powerhouse, he likewise had no absolute certainty that he could withstand a strike from the opponent.
Furthermore, the opponent was being so polite.
"A thread of consciousness incarnated, I see. You must really treasure this disciple of yours to leave behind a projection to protect him," Qinchuan looked at the True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword and said indifferently, "However, your eye for selecting disciples is lacking. A cultivator shouldn’t just look at aptitude; temperament is also of utmost importance. Your disciple, being a sword cultivator, insists on learning to scheme and plot, has many tricks up his sleeve; even trying to gain something for nothing, and yet he bullies others by flaunting your sect’s power, threatening even me. Although the Heavenly Sword Sect has not produced a Great Emperor, it still has a long-standing tradition and is considered a great sect. How could it have chosen such a poor disciple? It truly is a case of a generation worse than the one before!"
"Impudent youth, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of a True Incarnation!"
One of Ye Xuanji’s protectors, previously sent flying by him, shouted in anger upon hearing this.
"Silence!"
However, the True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword turned back and shouted lowly at that protector.
Then, its gaze fell on Qinchuan.
Having lived for so many years, his confidence was naturally strong.
This could be seen when he did not immediately show off upon appearing, or attack Qinchuan and the rest.
Now, seeing Ye Xuanji take half a step back after Qinchuan spoke, this small gesture immediately made the True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword understand that this young man was the true decision-maker. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Ye Xuanji, a grave and dignified Saint, stood to one side as if he were a subordinate.
This sent a chill through the Heavenly Sword’s heart, and it carefully scrutinized Qinchuan, noticing the Congyun Sect identity token hanging at his waist, its brows slightly furrowed, but then its expression smoothed over without a trace.
He chuckled and said to Qinchuan, "So it turns out you are the decision-maker. Your words just now were a bit extreme. Although Ye Wei is unworthy, he passed the Saint Heir selection of our Heavenly Sword Sect and ascended to the position of Saint Heir, so naturally, he has his extraordinary aspects."

"However, what you just said also has merit. A cultivator should not only value aptitude but also temperament. Ye Wei did offend you just now, and indeed, he was at fault. But I ask you to spare him this time for the sake of this old man and the Heavenly Sword Sect."
The True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword spoke.
"Forgive him for your and the Heavenly Sword Sect’s sake?"
Qinchuan smiled and said, "Your and the Heavenly Sword Sect’s face doesn’t hold much weight in my eyes."
"Whoosh!"
As Qinchuan’s words fell, the surroundings immediately erupted into turmoil.
"This kid, does he know what he is saying? To dare to speak such words in front of the True Incarnation of the Heavenly Sword, isn’t he being a bit too audacious?"
"This kid must be crazy, spouting such bold words, not afraid that the wind might twist his tongue."
Many people discussed, feeling that Qinchuan had spoken too big a boast, saying such things to someone’s face. In their view, this was clearly seeking death.
Ye Wei and his Protectors grew even more furious upon hearing this.
Qinchuan’s words were clearly a contempt for the true man of Heavenly Sword, as well as his Heavenly Sword Sect!
Since when had the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the four great forces of Tianyuan Nation, suffered such contempt?
Even the true man of Heavenly Sword couldn’t help but frown and said, looking at Qinchuan, "You may contempt me if you wish, but to disrespect my Heavenly Sword Sect is going too far!"
Qinchuan couldn’t help but laugh without words, shaking his head and saying, "You need not be provoked, I didn’t take the Jiuli Ghost Sect seriously either, before this."
The people of the Jiuli Ghost Sect beside him twitched their faces all at once and cast unfriendly glances.
Especially Han Jiuming, who was speechless in his heart.
Why drag us into your quarrels with others?
They were sitting here quietly, not getting involved in anything, and yet they were still implicated?
"..."
Hearing Qinchuan’s words, the true man of Heavenly Sword’s mouth also twitched.
How could the other party be so disrespectful to him and the Heavenly Sword Sect behind him and still tell him not to be provoked?
At the same time, he was secretly astonished. How could this guy, who didn’t even care about the Jiuli Ghost Sect, be so arrogant—what was he relying on?
A fallen disciple from the Congyun Sect... where did he get the audacity to look down upon the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jiuli Ghost Sect?
With just one stomp, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jiuli Ghost Sect could cause the now fallen Congyun Sect to vanish in smoke and ash.
Was this guy really not a disciple from the Congyun Sect?
"You... are not a disciple from the Congyun Sect, are you?"
the true man of Heavenly Sword asked, frowning.
"What makes you say that?"
Qinchuan asked, surprised.
"The Congyun Sect has long since fallen, desolate and weak, rumored to be no longer significant. An insignificant sect wouldn’t have a Protector in the Saint Realm, but that’s not the most important point,"
the true man of Heavenly Sword said.
"Oh? And what is the most important point?"
Qinchuan asked, clearly interested.
The true man of Heavenly Sword looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "Even if the Congyun Sect truly had a Saint Realm powerhouse, they would never dare to provoke the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jiuli Ghost Sect so openly!"
He spoke calmly, "You carry the token of a Congyun Sect disciple, displaying such disdain for my Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jiuli Ghost Sect, so recklessly, with no worry of causing trouble for the Congyun Sect. Do you have a grudge with the Congyun Sect?"
Qinchuan was taken aback and looked at the true man of Heavenly Sword with a face full of surprise.
"Shh..."
The rest of the people around, upon hearing this, were also shocked and couldn’t help but stir again.
"Could this guy really be an enemy of the Congyun Sect? Behaving so arrogantly and deliberately making enemies for the Congyun Sect?"
Seeing Qinchuan’s expression, the true man of Heavenly Sword said indifferently, "What do you say? Did I hit the mark?"
"Your imagination is indeed rich, but as you said yourself, the Congyun Sect wouldn’t have a Saint sitting in power. I have a Saint as a Protector, if I really were an enemy of the Congyun Sect and wanted to eradicate it, would I need to go to such great lengths?"
Qinchuan said with a strange expression.
