If soone had said earlier that people from the Forbidden Forest dared to attend the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference, Gong Jiu and the others would definitely not have believed it. To say that the Forbidden Forest is now the enemy of the Martial Arts World wouldn’t be an exaggeration. It makes no sense for them to deliver themselves right to the doorstep for signing.
But they really ca.
Walking up from behind the disciples.
In fact, it’s necessary first to clarify who these disciples are. It’s the middle-aged man they t briefly at Qing University earlier, accompanied by Cao Ling—just two people, one B-level, one S-level. Looking not so strong a combination, but even feared to be C-level, as long as they are disciples, they carry a certain background threat.
But now, they’ve all lost their luster.
Cao Ling looked at his superior, Gao Jin, and thought quietly. With the strength of The Gate, recent tasks repeatedly dispatched with specifications not so sharp—is it actively showing weakness, or deliberately staying out of it, letting others fight amongst themselves?
As those two wearing black robes with the Forbidden Forest’s unique masks slowly ascended the steps.
Both were tall and thin, yet one was cold and the other sinister, with distinct temperants.
Jin, Lin!
Countless people were so scared that they dropped their wine glasses to the ground.
And many held tight to their weapons.
Natasha narrowed her eyes. Lin, this person...
The Forbidden Forest’s three major heads dispatched two at once?
Wondering if the Imperial Guards and The Gate inwardly regret not sending more people here...
Ye Zixu, Yi, and others had confronted the two leaders of the Forbidden Forest before, so they reacted quickly. It was Yi who cast a sidelong glance, discovering Sui Yi’s attention focused not on those two, but thoughtfully on the Mount Hua Mountain Chief.
Hmm. Is there sothing wrong with this Mountain Chief?
"I think, in this world, there is always a kind of esteed visitor who arrives, yet doesn’t have the honor of illumination," the Mount Hua Mountain Chief presented a noble deanor, though his stance was clear, "The two from the Forbidden Forest, may I ask what official business brings you here?"
Jin by nature was icy and disliked speaking, so Lin acted as spokesperson. He smiled, eyes narrowing into slits: "What I said before, I’ve already ntioned. The path doesn’t distinguish between right and wrong."
"So it seems you are aware that it’s evil." The Mount Hua Mountain Chief slowly surveyed these two, faintly said,"In martial arts, we can clearly discern between right and wrong."
"What the Forbidden Forest does is not permissible within our martial arts."
"Is that so?" Lin sauntered as he spoke, quite leisurely, his black robe trailing along the ground, scanning the faces of these people as he walked...
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. When it cos to matters stained with blood...you all know inside that those killed by us in the Forbidden Forest, whether in their identity, reason, or thod, don’t vary greatly from what you usually apply."
"And from a purpose standpoint, sacrificing a few to achieve such a situation—wouldn’t that be good?"
He turned, finger pointing at the Mount Hua Mountain Chief: "Mountain Chief, maintaining such independence for Mount Hua requires a significant cost. You know that, right? Who knows how much longer you can persist against such an expense?"
These words made all Mount Hua People change their expressions, looking uniformly at the Mountain Hua Chief, with many guests also showing significant surprise and curiosity.
Cost?
Chu Ziyu’s expression remained detached, seemingly understanding long ago, yet keeping it pent up inside.
Natasha stroked her eyeliner. Hmm, this old classmate is unsurprisingly as deep-minded as always~~
"Ti, always difficult to define, but I dare say that Mount Hua’s resilience will be enough to support us until the day Forbidden Forest’s sches are shattered,"
The Mount Hua Mountain Chief was calm and composed, seemingly unphased by the threat of two S-level masters.
And with this statent.
Swish!
All Mount Hua disciples unsheathed their swords, and many martial artists, too, revealed their weapons.
Killing intent was evident.
Ming Lanyuan, Cao Ling, and several other juniors said nothing because ng Fang and Gao Jin hadn’t spoken up.
"Coming with drawn blades without another word, such impatient Mount Hua isn’t what I rember. Is this not Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference? How’s this, where neither Jin nor I are allowed rely to have a look?"
"You approved Ghost Teeth’s presence," Lin’s finger pointed at Wei Feng and several others, drawing a line but uncertain on whom it landed: "You approved ID’s presence as well, ah~ Indeed, The Gate, a world-renowned gang, you haven’t refused either, and if you alone refuse our Forbidden Forest, I can only regard it not as refusal, but fear."
"Is it due to the difference in competence?"
Goodness, this statent sure feels brazen.
Wei Feng and the others were still pondering who the ID person was when suddenly they heard this, ah~
Cao Ling’s eye twitched, and Gao Jin finally spoke: "It does sound sowhat reasonable, Mountain Chief, perhaps be slightly rciful, and allow these two from the Forbidden Forest...After all, who knows where that Third one is hiding?"
