Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1755 – Pinnacle of Swordsmen

“Jiang Yunshan!”

“Elder of the East Sword Sect. Ruler realm swordsman!”

“It seems like things are going to blow up today!”

There were exclamations in the crowd. 

Jiang Rong’s expression changed as she stepped forward to greet, “Greetings Elder, there seems to be something fishy going on today. Please investigate carefully.”

“Something fishy?” Jiang Yunshan sneered, “Jiang Rong, you colluded with others to hurt our own disciples. How dare you say that when the evidence is clear!”

Jiang De bowed respectfully, “Elder, you are right. We can verify it!”

Delight shone in his eyes. 

Did they really think what happened today was his own decision? How childish!

After all, Jiang Rong was a blood descendant of the Jiang Family and not someone he could easily deal with. 

Jiang Rong’s heart sank as she realized the position the elder was taking. She looked angry. 

“Fellow companion, hurry and run. This is targetted at me; don’t get yourself implicated.”

Jiang Yunshan waved his sleeve, “He cannot run. You are asking for it! How dare you injure our East Sword Sect’s disciples!”

Sss –

A sword aura appeared.

Pfft –

Before it could land on Qin Yu, the sword aura dissipated like bubbles. 

Silence filled the air!

Qin Yu was expressionless, “You want to kill me?”

Jiang Yunshan paled and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as Qin Yu stared at him. He could not suppress the fear that rose from within him. 

He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Where is this rogue cultivator from? Just because you are slightly powerful, you dare to create trouble in East Sword City! Let me warn you that our East Sword Sect are the subordinates of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. You better consider the consequences of behaving rashly!”

Qin Yu was expressionless, “I really want to know what the consequences are.”

He lifted his hand and pressed down. ‘Bom’, There was a loud sound and Jiang Yunshan was smashed into the ground, unable to move. 

Jiang De was stunned. There was a spark in his wide eyes as he looked fearful, “What happened today has nothing to do with me…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu waved his sleeve and flung him away.

A small thing that is not even a Ruler. Qin Yu could not be bothered. 

Pak –

Jiang De fell onto the ground like a pile of mud. No one knew if he was alive. 

The entire street was silent. 

Numerous people were staring and their faces were filled with disbelief. 

How did things progress till here?

They were from the East Sword Sect!

Moreover, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Sect Master, an immensely powerful swordsman, was supporting the East Sword Sect. 

Jiang Rong paled, “You killed Jiang De? Fellow companion, you are in trouble! He was a disciple of an important person in the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. They will not let this go.”

An important person in the Opening Heavens Sword Sect?

Qin Yu had a strange look as he waved his hand, “Nevermind.”

He looked at Jiang Rong and could not find anything strange on her. 

What did White Feifei want to do with her?

But without a doubt, Jiang Rong must be linked to the hidden thing in East Sword City like White Feifei mentioned. This thing must be extremely precious for White Feifei to be interested and willing to risk incurring Rourou’s wrath. 

And Qin Yu…would not let her get it!

That’s right. White Feifei’s vow had paralyzed her from the start.

Qin Yu had no intentions of compromising.

Now, White Feifei could only scare him with threats. But once he got Jiang Rong and the hidden thing, the situation might change. 

Qin Yu was not stupid enough that he would dig himself a hole. 

As for White Feifei’s vow, Qin Yu did not believe a single word. Why would Longevity Species from the Eternal Realm easily swear on their Great Dao? Was she making fun of him?!

East Sword Sect.

Sect Master Jiang Qing was currently hosting a few guests from major swords sects. 

Although the alliance between the sword sects had been formed and everyone was eating from the same bowl, things were not so simple. 

The distance between the sects still existed. 

With the status as the surbordinates of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, it was enough for several major sword sects to put aside their usual pride and personally visit the East Sword Sect.

The Opening Heavens Sword Sect was now the sky of Swallow Mountain. Who dared to disrespect them?

“Sect Master Jiang, with the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s support, the East Sword Sect will flourish once more! In the future, we will have to count on each other more.”

“That’s right, if my sect has offended your sect in any way in the past, please do not hold it against us.”

“From now on, we are allies of the East Sword Sect. Sect Master Jiang, if you have any instructions, please just let us know!”

Several swordsmen elders spoke and smiled. 

Jiang Qing smiled without saying anything. He was feeling good. In his mind, he thought: I bet you guys never expected that this day would come.

Back then, the East Sword Sect had been bullied by them. 

But from now on, things were going to change!

Sending someone to reestablish their status as subordinates of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was the best decision he made. 

At this moment, a disciple of the East Sword Sect suddenly rushed over looking flustered. 

The proud Jiang Qing’s face fell instantly, “Can’t you see that I am attending to guests? What are you doing so flustered?”

“Sect Master, there is trouble!” The disciple looked flustered. 

Jiang Qing frowned, “Tell me, what is going on?”

“There is someone creating trouble in East Sword City and our elder went to suppress him but ended up getting suppressed!”

The hall fell silent.

Jiang Qing’s expression sank. There were people creating trouble in their area and their elder went to deal with it but ended up getting suppressed?

Embarrassing, utterly embarrassing!

As he glanced at the various elders from the other major sects, Jiang Qing got even more annoyed. 

He slammed the table and stood up, “Ridiculous! Where is this bastard from! How dare he create trouble in East Sword City!

“Everyone, please wait. I will go and deal with this.”

The various elders exchanged looks as they all stood up, “Sect Master Jiang, we will go with you.”

“If anything else happens, we can help.”

“If they create trouble in East Sword City, they are also against us!”

Sensing that they were trying to butter him up, Jiang Qing’s face softened. As the sect master, Jiang Qing was definitely stronger than any of the elders, but there was also a limit to his power. 

If he was defeated…then he would be really embarrassed!

Woosh – 

Woosh – 

Woosh – 

Jiang Qing and the elders flew off and very soon reached East Sword City. They found where the commotion was. 

With several Ruler realm swordsmen appearing, their auras were frightening. The intense sword aura cut through the air with a piercing sound. 

“It is Sect Master Jiang Qing!”

“Who are the people with him? Their auras are immense!”

“I know the one on the left is the elder from the Hidden Ground Sword Sect.”

“The one on the right is the elder from the Sea King Sword Sect!”

“I heard that recently, many elders from various major sword sects have been trying to build good relations with the East Sword Sect and get closer.”

“No wonder there are so many people. This person is going to be in huge trouble!”

Woosh –

Jiang Qing’s gaze landed on the defeated elder before looking at Jiang De, who was lying on the floor. No one knew if he was alive. His face turned ashen. 

“Arrogance! Whoever you are, I am going to make you pay!”

Qin Yu looked at him expressionlessly, “Do you not recognize me?”

Jiang Qing sneered at him, “Don’t try to bring up your background. In Swallow Mountain, there is no one with a stronger backing than us, the East Sword Sect!” His gaze was icy, “Whoever you are, brat, let me tell you that you are finished. No one can save you!”

Qin Yu lifted his hand and rubbed his forehead. Hu Zhiming, this lad, has been drifting. 

All the affairs of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect had been left for him to deal with. 

They could have a subordinate sect? But what kind of choice was this!

Jiang Rong kneeled on the floor, “Sect Master, Elder and Jiang De colluded to frame me. Please seek justice for me!”

Jiang Qing’s eyes were cold, “Even if Elder did not handle this appropriately, does that mean you can collude with others to injure our elder? Jiang Rong, I always thought you were a smart girl. It seems like I was wrong about you!”

“Men! Bring Jiang Rong back to the sect. I will first deal with this arrogant brat!”

Qin Yu could not be bothered to talk to him as he waved his sleeve. 

Boom –

With a loud sound, the arrogant and solemn-looking Jiang Qing was thrown backwards. 

He fell on the ground tumbling, blood spurting out of his nose and mouth. 

He looked miserable!

The elders that saw this immediately looked apprehensive and hesitant. 

Since when did such a strong person appear on Swallow Mountain?

Though East Sword Sect’s Sect Master Jiang Qing was not considered extremely strong, he was still a peak Ruler. He just had not entered the three realms of ‘heaven, earth and humans’.

Yet, he had been easily beaten with a wave of a sleeve. 

Moreover, his opponent did not look like he was putting in much effort. 

The few that had wanted to stand up for the East Sword Sect started to hesitate. There were even a few that silently backed off. 

It may not be good for them to interfere. 

And this man in front of them…hmm, he somehow seemed familiar. As if they had met before. 

Pfft – 

Jiang Qing spat out a mouthful of blood as his face twisted, “How dare you attack me! How dare you!” He looked at the elders and shouted, “Are you all just going to watch? Whoever is able to kill this person, I will refer you to become a subordinate of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect!”

The faces of the elders changed as they looked serious. 

Subordinate of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. As long as they could become such, their own sects’ statuses would rise and they would have many benefits in the future. 

“Sect Master Jiang Qing, I will help you!”

The elder from the Hidden Ground Sword Sect growled as he did not hesitate to attack. 

When a Ruler realm swordsman attacked, the commotion was huge and the Opening Heavens Sword Sect would soon realize that something was going on here. 

In other words, after Sect Master Qin Yu noticed, he would definitely descend to help the subordinate sect. If not, who would be willing to obey and do things for the Opening Heavens Sword Sect?

Though there was a risk in taking action now, the potential benefits were worth it!

Qin Yu frowned before snorting heavily. The elder from the Hidden Ground Sword Sect groaned and paled in an instant. There was a whining sound from the immortal sword in his hand and it flew out of his grasp. The sword did not dare to attack Qin Yu. 

A Half-King swordsman was now the best swordsman in the world!

All swordsmen were naturally subdued by him, and when they met him, they couldn’t even attack. 

This was also why Emperor Qin was apprehensive of Qin Yu. It was because he knew how terrifying someone who was the apex of their cultivation could be. 

The elder from the Hidden Ground Sword Sect widened his eyes in fear. He stared at Qin Yu before falling to the ground with a ‘plop’. He kowtowed repeatedly. 

He was trembling and could not say anything. 

The street was already silent, but after this even the breathing sounds disappeared. Everyone was subconsciously holding their breaths as they looked at Qin Yu in shock. 

No one was stupid. The elder from the Hidden Ground Sword Sect was definitely powerful yet he had been scared by just a snort and even suffered the backlash of his own sword aura. Even his own immortal sword was rebelling. 

Could just anyone do this?

Jiang Qing, who had been clamoring to kill Qin Yu, was speechless as if he was a duck and someone was grabbing him by the neck. He stared at Qin Yu. 

“Greetings Leader, I am Liu Wuyi from the Sea King Sword Sect!” The elder from the Sea King Sword Sect fell to the ground in a kneel. 

The other elders also started to react as they fell to a kneel. 

They were kneeling because they were afraid of getting implicated and ending up like this bunch of fools from the East Sword Sect.

As the subordinate sect, they could not even recognize the Sect Master of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect? They were pig heads. A bunch of fools!

He even said that he would refer them as long as they could kill this man…this was essentially harming them. They were going down and even tried to drag others down with them. Despicable. 

Flop flop –

In a blink of an eye, everyone on the street was kneeling. 

Whether they were swordsmen or not. 

Anyone who lived on Swallow Mountain relied on the Opening Heavens Sword Sect.

And this person in front of them was the rumored sole King realm swordsman in the world, Opening Heavens Sword Sect, Sect Master Qin Yu!

Everyone was filled with shock and disbelief. 

Even Jiang Rong was stunned as she kneeled on the floor as well. Her mind went blank. 

Qin Yu snorted, “This is my first time in East Sword City and I have really seen something new. Are you all worthy of being the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s subordinates? From now on, do not mention this anymore. If I hear about you using the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s name, I will not forgive you easily!”

Jiang Qing’s eyes rolled backwards and he fainted.

Today, it looked like Qin Yu was not punishing them, but everyone knew that the East Sword Sect had offended the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. It was obvious what was going to happen on Swallow Mountain now. 

Finished!

The East Sword Sect…was finished!

“Little Qin, you are showing off pretty well. But what I wanted was for you to get that brat, not for you to play around.” White Feifei’s voice was as alluring as before but she was displeased, “Hurry and get going, stop delaying!”

There was a glimmer in Qin Yu’s eyes as he lifted his hand and pointed, “From now on, Jiang Rong will be the Sect Master of the East Sword Sect.”

He turned and looked over, “Sect Master Jiang Rong, are you not going to invite me to the East Sword Sect?”

Jiang Rong regained her senses as she rushed to nod, “Ah…of course. Please, Sect Master Qin!”

She was now the Sect Master of the East Sword Sect? She felt like she was dreaming!

She pinched herself. Ouch!

She was not dreaming. 

Jiang Rong looked excited. She never thought that her moment of compassion outside the mountain gate would lead to this today. 

The elders from the other sword sects rushed to congratulate her. 

Now, anything Qin Yu said was law in Swallow Mountain. If he said that Jiang Rong was the new Sect Master of the East Sword Sect, then it was confirmed. 

Without disturbing them further, they bowed to Qin Yu before leaving. 

Jiang Rong looked good and had a good figure…mmhm, it seemed like they had to treat the East Sword Sect with more respect from now on. 

Whether they were right or not, it was better to be careful. 

As for Jiang Qing, no one cared about him now. He would not have a good ending.

Woosh –

Number 327’s figure appeared beside Qin Yu. 

“You are just in time. Sect Master Jiang Rong has invited us to go to the East Sword Sect.”

Number 327 nodded. 

A moment after the huge change in the East Sword Sect, everyone’s apprehensiveness turned to happiness. 

The reason was simple. Though the East Sword Sect was no longer the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s subordinate, it was obvious that both sects had a closer relationship. No one had issues with Jiang Rong being the Sect Master.

After sending off everyone who came to greet them, including the elders from the East Sword Sect and protectors, Qin Yu took a sip of tea, “Jiang Rong, today I helped you because you have good character, and also…there are other reasons.”
