Chapter 0299 – Identity Revealed – Absolute Return

Instead of being shocked, Zhong Yue laughed out loud.

He was calm and collected in the face of the accusations, without the slightest panic.

“Could it be, that you are impersonating the Young Sect Master?”

Even Protector King, who had been keeping a stern face, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But he clearly remembered what Zhu Yang had said before:

“Chilao bribed Zhong Yue to kill you.”

If what Zhu Yang said was true, then he had to protect Zhu Yang.

Protector King looked at Zhong Yue and asked:

“Captain Zhong, why are you here?”

“I was worried that you guys wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I came here for backup.”

Of course Protector King wouldn’t believe Zhong Yue’s bullshit. If he really wanted to provide support, he would have already brought the Demon Sword Squad and rushed here in great numbers.

He clearly appeared out of nowhere just as Zhu Yang was about to say his name, with the purpose of stopping Zhu Yang from telling the truth.

“Captain Zhong, as you’ve already heard, he’s accusing you of accepting bribes, so it’s better for you to recuse yourself.”

“Servant Master, you can’t really believe his words, can you?”

“Of course I believe it, he testified against you in front of so many people, I had to investigate.”

“He’s just a loan shark.”

Protector King turned his head to look at Zhu Yang and asked:

“Is he telling the truth?”

Facing the icy gaze of the Protector King, Zhu Yang was a little timid in his heart.

“True, but I’m telling the truth.”

Nursing King has always looked down on loan sharks, so naturally he will not easily believe Zhu Yang’s words.

Seeing that Protector King’s face was becoming more and more ugly, Zhu Yang couldn’t help but admire Jian Wuji even more in his heart. Everyone looked down on him and laughed at him, yet no one dared to make a move against him.

At this time, Jian Wuji suddenly spoke:

“When one cannot refute the facts, one chooses to attack the other person’s character.”

Zhong Yue sniffed and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Nursing Scenery hastened to appease:

“Captain Zhong, if he is falsely accusing you, I will definitely punish him severely, don’t worry.”

Zhong Yue did not move on the surface, but his heart was anxious.

He had to get rid of Zhu Yang as soon as possible. If he was really brought back to the rudder for interrogation, then the matter of him accepting bribes would be exposed. At that time, not only would the captaincy be lost, but he might even be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

Zhong Yue’s gaze landed on Jian Wuji.

“Servant Master, what do you intend to do with this person impersonating the Young Sect Master?”

“He, too, I will deal with personally.”

“Are you plotting a rebellion?”

Zhong Yue’s tone carried a hint of mockery, but no one laughed out loud.

Zhu Yang looked at Jian Wuji with worry in his eyes. Although everyone mocked Jian Wuji, he always believed that Jian Wuji was not an ordinary person.

“Young Sect Master, what should we do now?”

That’s right. Now that we’ve started, let’s play it out to the end!

Zhong Yue was waiting for this moment, he fiercely drew his long sword, pointed at Zhu Yang and roared:

“Daring! How dare you impersonate the Young Sect Master!”

He was about to rush up and cut Zhu Yang down, but he was stopped by Protector King.

“Stop!”

“Branch Ruler, please step aside! I can never tolerate that someone dares to impersonate the Young Sect Master!”

“No!”

The two of them were at swords drawn, tit for tat, and the conflict that had been hidden for a long time, finally erupted. In fact, Zhong Yue had long anticipated that Protector King would stop him.

“Kill him!”

He secretly sent a message to his beloved Che Huai. Now that Protector King was being held back by himself, it was the perfect time to get rid of Zhu Yang.

Che Huai understood, and suddenly shot out, a powerful sword qi, shooting towards Zhu Yang. That sword qi, was powerful enough to kill Zhu Yang and Jian Wu Ji, together.

“Boom!”

There was a loud bang, and Zhu Yang was so scared that he sat on his butt.

He saw that Jian Wuji’s back was still erect like a pine. He stood in place, and with a casual wave of his hand, he dissolved that sword Qi, into nothing.

“Get together and kill him!”

At Che Huai’s command, the members of the Demon Sword Team, all of them drew their longswords and rushed towards Jian Wuji.

At the same time, Protector King shouted out:

“Protect the Young Preceptor!”

The disciples of the Jiangnan Branch Rudder also drew their swords to meet the Devil Sword Team. The two teams, swords drawn, a great battle was about to start. Although the disciples of Jiangnan Branch were numerous, their strength was far inferior to that of the Devil Sword Team.

It was at that moment that a sudden change occurred.

Sword Wuji suddenly took a step forward, and a powerful aura erupted from him.

“Boom!”

That aura was like a shocking wave that swept through the entire temple.

Everyone was overwhelmed by this aura, and they couldn’t breathe. They felt as if they, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, being pulled downwards by an invisible force.

They struggled desperately, but to no avail. That force, which was incredibly powerful, made them unable to resist.

“Ah!”

They tried to call for help but couldn’t make any sound.

At the end of the abyss, they saw a figure, standing proudly, radiating a dazzling light.

That’s Sword Wuji.

The next moment, that aura, suddenly disappeared.

Jian Wuji returned to the real world and stood in front of them.

They were stunned and gasped for air with fear in their eyes. They finally realized that Jian Wuji’s martial arts were far beyond their imagination, and that they were not his match at all. Moreover, they also realized that the force that oppressed them just now, was demonic Qi.

Sword Wuji looked at Protecting Scenery and said:

“It’s been a long time, sub-commander. Do you remember what you said when you took office? You said that you would pay attention to every detail to prevent any accidents.”

Nursing King remembered, of course, that those were the words he had said at the celebration banquet when he had first assumed the position of sub-leader. He would never forget that day.

“You were at that party?”

Jian Wu Jie nodded.

“This young warrior, what kind of god is he?”

At that moment, a figure, suddenly appeared in front of the crowd.

Nursing King was shocked when he saw the visitor.

“Helmsman Lin!”

The person who came was none other than the Jiangnan Branch Rudder Master of the Tongtian Pavilion, Lin Qing.

Lin Qing had always been a god, but he didn’t expect that he would actually appear here today.

“Helmsman Lin, what brings you here?”

Before coming here, Jian Wuji had already met the person from the Tongtian Pavilion and, through him, contacted Lin Qing to ask for his help.

“I’ve come to announce that from today, everyone in the Jiangnan Branch Rudder will follow the orders of the Young Sect Master.”

Hearing the words “Young Sect Master”, everyone froze. Just now, they were laughing at Jian Wuji for being an impostor, but now, they were suddenly told that he was really the Young Sect Master?

“How is this …… possible?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Jian Wuji. Lin Qing said loudly:

“That’s right, he’s the Young Sect Master!”

The scene was silent, and everyone was so shocked by the news, that they couldn’t speak.

The first person to react was Protector King. He hurriedly fell to his knees and said respectfully:

“See you, Young Preceptor!”

Immediately afterward, the disciples of the Jiangnan Branch Rudder, as well as Zhong Yue and the members of the Devil Sword Team, all fell to their knees as well. In the Heavenly Demon God Sect, the authority of the Sect Master and the Young Sect Master was supreme.

“See you, Young Preceptor!”

The voices of the crowd resounded throughout the temple.

In fact, even without Lin Qing’s confirmation, they could tell who Jian Wuji was from the powerful strength he had just displayed.

Right now, only Zhu Yang, was still standing there stupidly.

Jian Wuji looked at him and smiled faintly.

“Now, you believe it, don’t you? Even if there’s no demonic father to testify, you should still believe it, right?”

Only then did Zhu Yang react, and he was so scared that he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.

“I have eyes but I don’t recognize Mt. Tai, I have offended the Young Sect Master, please forgive me!”

“What is your offense? You’re the only one, who believes I’m the lesser godfather.”

Zhu Yang burst into tears, he couldn’t believe his ears. He had actually spent so much time with the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, for so long? And even gave him interest? And even called him crazy?
