After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 298 - Seven Luminaries Cheap Pavilion

Chapter 298: Seven Luminaries Cheap Pavilion

Half a month later, at the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion is located on a towering and perilous peak, surrounded by seven giant mysterious swords forged from high-grade mysterious iron.

The seven swords stand between heaven and earth, forming a grand protective formation for the sect.

Inside, the sword intent permeates, and the sound of swords ringing endlessly throughout the day.

At the foot of the mountain, a one-armed man walked on the ancient path.

His eyes were dull, his expression blank, and occasionally, a surge of malevolence would flash through his eyes.

He is Su Shan.

He had rejected Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s proposal that day.

After all, faced with an old man suddenly appearing, offering an opportunity, and then laughing sinisterly, no matter who it was would instinctively refuse and be on high alert.

But it was useless.

Su Shan’s refusal did nothing as Jiuyan Old Ancestor knocked him out and dragged him away.

When he woke up from his stupor, not only could he not move, but a screen about several zhang wide appeared before him...

“Nine lifetimes... a full nine lifetimes...?”

Remembering the scenes from the nine cycles of reincarnation, the malevolence in Su Shan’s eyes intensified.

He stood on the ancient path, glaring at the heavens with bloodshot eyes.

He wanted to roar and question the heavens.

But he couldn’t...

Jiuyan Old Ancestor had placed a silencing restriction in his mind, preventing him from speaking about anything related to the ‘nine cycles of reincarnation’.

Therefore, all his grief and anger could only be expressed in one sentence:

“Heavens is unjust!!”

Su Shan had gone mad, yet he was unaware.

In the nine cycles of reincarnation, he saw Jiang Chen living righteously for nine lifetimes, only to be met with disdain and misunderstanding.

He also saw how he and the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, influenced by the heavens, were enemies of Jiang Chen in every lifetime, step by step turning a person who was once so upright into one disheartened and completely giving up.

Suddenly, Su Shan remembered Sword Two.

Su Shan despised Sword Two’s actions in the Mysterious Ice Realm, considering it a hypocritical righteousness, a true hypocrite in name.

But after understanding everything, now he realized.

Was he not the same?

Based on rumors and likes and dislikes, he regarded Jiang Chen as a scourge and a disaster on the righteous path for nine full lifetimes!

The real disaster was them, those who claimed to be righteous but were used by the heavens like fools!

Su Shan shed tears while lost in thought.

He walked slowly until finally reaching the gate of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.

The gate of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion resembled a pavilion, with smooth walls on both sides marked with deep sword scars exuding strong sword intent.

At the top of the pavilion, there was a gilded plaque that read:

【Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion】

Once, Su Shan took pride in being a disciple of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.

Although the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion seldom appeared in the world, it was a truly righteous major sect.

In every battle between good and evil, the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion was like the last barrier, firmly guarding the righteousness of the Central Domain.

“The Seven Luminaries are eternal, and the righteous path has no night.” Su Shan murmured softly.

This phrase was personally told to him by the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor when he became a disciple.

At that time, hearing these words, he couldn’t suppress the passion in his body.

But now... this phrase seemed so ridiculous, so ironic!

Righteous path?

With an unjust heaven and ignorant humanity, where is the righteous path?

If the so-called righteous path is manipulated by the heavens, if it does not distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong... then how is this righteous path different from the demonic path?!

If there is no difference, then where is the distinction between good and evil!

“The Seven Luminaries are eternal, and the righteous path has no night”?

It’s all just putting gold on your own face! (inflating yourself)

“Haha!!”

Su Shan suddenly burst into laughter.

His laughter was wild, his demeanor mad, and the malevolence in his eyes had engulfed his entire field of vision.

At this moment, he had an epiphany.

His ‘state of mind’ had ‘elevated’ further!

At the same time, a vast sea of spiritual energy gathered from all around, rushing into his body like crazy.

Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, his Core Formation began to crack and eventually transformed into a Nascent Soul.

He became an upper four realms cultivator!

Without excitement or joy, Su Shan just sneered.

He summoned a spare spiritual sword from his spirit ring, then with a tap of his toes, he floated up to the plaque that bore the words 【Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion】.

First, he used the spiritual sword to draw an ‘x’ over the character for ‘sword’

Then, perhaps feeling that this was still not enough, he added another character—Cheap!

Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion became the Seven Luminaries Cheap Pavilion!

(TLN: Cheap here means low value / quality.)

“If the Way of the Sword is not upright, it is self-degradation! If the Seven Luminaries are not upright, then they are the Seven Cheaps! Haha, how fitting! Truly fitting!” Su Shan laughed again, his wild laughter echoing around.

Hearing the noise, the disciples guarding the pavilion rushed over.

Seeing what Su Shan was doing, they were stunned, shouting incessantly, “Eldest Senior Brother, why are you doing this?!”

“Scoundrels, shut up!”

The guarding disciples were dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes.

They wondered if they were hallucinating.

Otherwise, how could their Eldest Senior Brother, who was usually kind and upheld the righteous path, have become like this?

Could it be that having his arm cut off and being defeated by Jiang Chen had twisted his nature?

“Eldest Senior Brother, we have heard about what happened in the secret realm! Calm down! Do not let someone like Jiang Chen disturb your Dao Heart!” one of the guarding disciples advised.

This, undoubtedly, had the opposite effect.

In the next instant, the malevolence in Su Shan’s eyes became even more apparent, and he slashed out several sword qi at his former fellow disciples.

Most of the guarding disciples were Core Formation realm cultivators. How could they withstand a sword from an upper four realms sword cultivator?

Just as they were in utter despair, an aged figure appeared out of nowhere.

With a mere sweep of his sleeve, he dispersed the several sword qi strikes that Su Shan had unleashed.

“Kneel.” the newcomer bellowed.

At the sound of his voice, Su Shan felt dizzy and staggered, falling from the sky, then uncontrollably dropped to his knees.

The newcomer was none other than the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.

After losing the Seven Luminaries Ancient Sword and self-destructing Seven Killing Star Swords in Azure Cloud City, and being infuriated by Jiang Chen to the point of near death, the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor returned to his sect at the fastest speed and shut himself away to reflect on life.

He was pleased when he sensed Su Shan returning to the Sword Pavilion.

After all, Su Shan was the most talented swordsman of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion!

When he realized that Su Shan had advanced to the upper four realms, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was ecstatic!

For Su Shan to advance to the upper four realms at such a young age as a sword cultivator, his talent was almost on par with Jiang Chen’s, but...

“Su Shan? Have you lost your mind?! Destroying the pavilion’s plaque and fighting amongst ourselves!? These are all grave sins of betraying the sect!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor could hardly believe it.

Su Shan remained silent, not uttering a word.

Though he was mad, he still retained some sense of reason.

Knowing that he was no match for the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor, there was no point in talking back at this moment.

The Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor frowned and immediately used his divine sense to inspect Su Shan’s condition.

Upon inspection, he was instantly certain that Su Shan’s aura was unstable, and he was indeed enveloped in malevolence and madness.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor let out a wry smile.

The rumors were indeed true.

Wherever Jiang Chen went, madness followed!

That man was not just a demonic path... he was a calamity of this world!

And this grudge! He had noted it once again!

“Lock him up,” the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor ordered reluctantly, glancing at the furious Su Shan.
