Chapter 189 - The Tiangang Sword Sect Will Not Interfere in This Matter!

“Good, Xie Mingze! What’s there to be arrogant about? I think it’s because you don’t dare to fight Gu Xi, that’s why you’re acting like this. Saying that you still want to chase after him is simply a fool’s dream!”

The Sect Master of the Ancient Sect was so angry that he did not know what to say. However, the moment his words landed on the ground.

A flying sword descended from the sky and a sharp sword intent burst forth. Coincidentally, it landed right in front of him. A strand of hair fluttered in the wind as if it was silently intimidating.

The entire place instantly became extremely quiet. No one dared to even breathe loudly.

Although Xie Mingze was defeated in one move, don’t forget that he was the number one person in the path of the sword before this. He had never lost in his entire life and was the pride of the entire Tiangang Sword Sect.

He had never suffered defeat in his entire life and had even single-handedly challenged a few super powers of the Demon Region, causing people to tremble in fear.

After his Sword Heart was shattered, he reforged his Sword Heart. Who would have thought that he would benefit from this misfortune? In the end, he broke through a bottleneck and advanced in one go. His strength was even more unfathomable.

Looking at his hair that had been cut off, the Sect Master of the Ancient Sect’s face turned ashen. He almost lifted his magic weapon to look for Xie Mingze to settle the score, but he was stopped by everyone.

“Forget it, why are you bickering with him? You don’t know that Xie Mingze has a strange temper. Maybe he’s unhappy after losing, that’s why he’s like this.”

The Ancient Sect’s Sect Master’s expression changed again and again. Seeing that the Tiangang Sword Sect’s people had gone far away, he opened his mouth to speak. “Who does he think he is? So what if the Tiangang Sword Sect doesn’t stand by our side? I don’t believe that when the Demon Region really attacks, they will still be able to stand idly by!”

The Sect Masters had some complaints about the people from the Tiangang Sword Sect leaving without permission.

“Then again, this Xie Mingze values oaths the most. Previously, he vowed to protect Gu Xi to kill his way out of the encirclement, but later, his attitude suddenly changed. Isn’t that a little strange?”

The people from the Star Viewing Pavilion looked at the Sect Master of the Ancient Sect and said hesitantly, “You mean, Xie Mingze and the others retreated in order to advance?”

“Let’s not be overly suspicious. Gu Xi is colluding with the Demon Region. Although Xie Mingze has a strange temper, there’s no need to doubt that he abhors evil. Don’t forget that he almost caused the Demon Region to suffer a huge blow previously.”

“Alright, let’s not bother about the Tiangang Sword Sect for now. Don’t fall into the Demon Region’s trap. Right now, they might be laughing at us in the dark. If our internal affairs fall into chaos first, wouldn’t we really fall into their trap?”

The Tiangang Sword Sect’s matter could be put aside. After all, they could not force others to take action. As long as they did not cause any more trouble, it would be fine. Although the Tiangang Sword Sect was powerful, there were so many sects. It would not be a big deal to lose one of them.

“From now on, let’s properly discuss how to deal with Gu Xi and the people from the Demon Region.”

…

It was not just these people who were puzzled. Even Xie Mingyu had some doubts in his heart. After all, Xie Mingze was not an arbitrary person. He would not believe it with just a few words from Mei Qianmeng and change his attitude so quickly.

“Do you really believe that Gu Xi is colluding with the people from the Demon Region?”

Xie Mingze shook his head and said without any hesitation, “Of course not.”

Hearing his affirmative tone, Xie Mingyu was also a little curious. “Why do you dare to be so sure?”

He seemed to be immersed in some memories. After a moment of silence, he said, “A person can lie, but his sword will not lie.”

“Fellow Daoist Gu defeated me in one move. I can feel from his Sword Intent that he has such a righteous and awe-inspiring sword aura. It seems to be able to wash away all filth in the world and sweep away all injustice. Such a person would definitely not collude with the Demon Region.”

Xie Mingyu was stunned on the spot. He had never thought that it would be for such a reason. However, it was in line with Xie Mingze’s personality as a sword addict.

He might be wrong about people, but he would never be wrong about the sword.

“If fellow Daoist Gu has a secret, he definitely can’t use such a sword or use such a move, so I believe him.”

If Gu Xi heard this, he would definitely be extremely emotional.

Xie Mingze had really integrated the Dao of the sword into his bones.

Hearing this, Xie Mingyu was even more puzzled. “If that’s the case, why did you have such an attitude earlier? Why didn’t you explain the situation in public?”

Xie Mingze revealed an extremely sarcastic smile. “So what if I explained it? Do you think those people will listen to me?”

Xie Mingyu recalled the attitude of everyone earlier and fell into silence.

“You also know that they are determined to obtain the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. The appearance of that witch just gave them a fair and aboveboard excuse.”

Xie Mingze said word by word, “Gu Xi colluded with the Demon Region and is a spy who sneaked into the Righteous Path. Everyone has to kill him. From now on, I’m afraid that the entire world will not be able to tolerate him.”

As for the truth, no one cared about it anymore. With a few crimes added together, it was enough to send Gu Xi to eternal damnation.

He did not expect that even though he did not care about the affairs of the world, he could see it so clearly.

“If I had stood by Gu Xi’s side stubbornly at that time, I’m afraid that I would have pushed the entire Tiangang Sword Sect to the cusp of the storm.”

Although Xie Mingze was stubborn, he was not stupid. Previously, he could have acted from a moral standpoint and sworn to protect Gu Xi to the death to break out of the encirclement. Even if news of this got out, they would not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

The appearance of Mei Qianmeng changed everything. Furthermore, there were so many people present. Even if they had a thousand mouths, they would not be able to explain it clearly. The people outside would not believe it at all.

After all, it was these people who wanted to snatch the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Now that a piece of evidence had fallen into their hands, how could they not publicize it.

“I can not disregard the Tiangang Sword Sect’s thousands of years of reputation and let outsiders poke at our spine and scold us.”

Xie Mingyu could not help but sigh faintly. “Sigh, it’s fortunate that you didn’t act on impulse. Otherwise, even if we believed him, it wouldn’t have changed the situation.”

Xie Mingze’s tone changed. “However — I really had an impulse at that time. Even if I risked the world, I still had to fulfill my promise.”
