Supreme Demon God

Chapter 145: Making Things Difficult

The person who took the lead in the opposition was named Xiao Chen, who had a mentor-disciple relationship with Ji Xuan, who died in Mo Xiu's hands.

Although he already knew about what happened to Mo Xiu on his way to Eastern Woods City, and he knew that it was Ji Xuan who was looking for her death, but no matter what, he and Ji Xuan had a master-apprentice relationship. Even if he would not bother to trouble Mo Xiu regardless of his status, it was certain that he did not like Mo Xiu.

Therefore, at this time, even if he offended the Sect Master, he had to stand up against this fellow and disagree to let Mo Xiu become a core disciple.

Sect Master glanced at Xiao Chen and frowned slightly.

To call Mo Xiu over, it must have been discussed and decided internally, and the reason for asking who had an opinion was to go through the scene and complete the form. He didn't expect this group of people to stand up and oppose him.

Although the situation had changed a little, the things that had been decided would not change because of the opinions of several people, so he was not worried about the development of things out of his own control.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Elder Xiao, you are the first to say that you have an opinion, can you tell me more specifically?"

Feeling the gaze of the Sect Master, Xiao Chen was not afraid, and stood up before he said, "I have a few questions to ask Wu Jue."

"Say," the Sect Master agreed.

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Mo Xiu and immediately said, "Wu Jue, I have heard about what happened when you went out. There are a few doubts here that you need to answer."

Mo Xiu glanced at Xiao Chen and said nothing.

Xiao Chen continued, "You keep saying that Ji Xuan and Hong Yuzhang colluded with the Inferno Martial Sect people to murder your life, but the fact is that both of them are dead, and even the others are dead, but you alone survived. How do we believe this? Is it possible that you colluded with Inferno Martial Sect to murder their lives?"

"That's impossible," Mo Xiu replied lightly.

"..."

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and soon asked, "Why is it impossible? You just tell me."

Mo Xiu: "The person responsible for leading the way is Ji Xuan, and the place where the incident occurred is the Inferno Martial Sect's site. It is impossible for me to lead them to the Inferno Martial Sect's site and then murder them. Also, I don't really know this sect's territory at all. I don't think Elder Xiao's apprentice was that foolish."

Xiao Chen nodded, and said, "Even so, your cultivation is only in the Early-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm, but you could kill the peak-stage Essence Converging Realm powerhouses. It can't be justified. If you did not collude with the Inferno Martial Sect, I don't believe you could kill Ji Xuan and Xian Dongyang."

"Believe it or not is your business," Mo Xiu was too lazy to explain.

Xiao Chen: "Even if it is Ji Xuan who did the wrong thing, you shouldn't collude with Inferno Martial Sect to kill her. This is a heinous thing. Besides, if you can kill her, you should have the ability to escape. In that case, escape back to the sect, tell the sect of what happened, and let the sect deal with Ji Xuan, is the correct behavior."

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Mo Xiu asked back.

"So you deliberately killed Ji Xuan and the others?" Xiao Chen's face became cold.

"They colluded with Inferno Martial Sect to harm me, so I naturally had to kill them all," Mo Xiu said boldly.

"Even if they harmed you, they should be handed over to the sect instead. But you killed them all at every turn, do you have a consciousness that you are a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, "I think you are not a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect at all, but a disciple of an evil sect. Only the disciple of the evil sect will act so perversely and without restraint like that, which one of the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect is like you?"

Mo Xiu didn't care, and asked, "If it is Elder Xiao instead, is it possible that you will escape back to the sect and let the sect take care of it?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, his voice became a little quieter, and he said with a lack of confidence, "Of course it can."

At this time, an elder said, "Elder Xiao, what we are discussing now is whether Wu Jue had colluded with the Inferno Martial Sect disciple to kill his fellow sect or not, not whether he should flee in the face of the situation at the time."

Xiao Chen immediately reacted upon hearing this, looked at Mo Xiu, and questioned, "How do you prove that you did not collude with the Inferno Martial Sect disciple to kill the same school?"

"Did I really need to collude with them?" Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.

"Even if you say that, there is no evidence, how can we believe it?" Xiao Chen frowned and said.

"You don't need to believe it," Mo Xiu said nonchalantly.

"You...!" Xiao Chen was very angry and did not know what to say for a while.

Soon, an elder said, "It is very simple to prove whether he lied or not. Find a disciple in the peak-stage of the Essence Converging Realm. If he can really defeat the disciple of that realm, he should have not lied, but if he can't defeat the other party, it means that he must have lied."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Xiao Chen also felt that this method was good, so he looked at the Sect Master and asked, "What does the Sect Master think?"

The Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect knew more about Mo Xiu, but he couldn't guarantee whether Mo Xiu could defeat a Great Perfection-stage Essence Converging Realm or not, so he could only say, "If Wu Jue is fine with it, this method can be used."

Everyone looked at Mo Xiu, waiting for Mo Xiu's reply.

If Mo Xiu refused, it meant that Mo Xiu's words were likely to be problematic, but if Mo Xiu did not refuse, then he must fight against a disciple with the cultivation base in the peak-stage of the Essence Converging Realm. But most people didn't think Mo Xiu could win. 

Mo Xiu didn't reply immediately, but glanced at the proposer.

Normal inner disciples might not be able to do this, but Mo Xiu could already recognize most of the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect. He knew that this person was named Liao Sixian and was the master of Xian Dongyang. Like Xiao Chen, he wanted to make things difficult for him.

There were many elders in the hall. Like Xiao Chen and Liao Sixian, they all wanted to make things difficult for Mo Xiu, but the others didn't speak, and they all waited for a good show instead. Mo Xiu saw this very thoroughly.

He wrote down everyone's reactions one by one, and then he said, "I'm fine with it."

Seeing this, the Sect Master secretly sighed, "In this case, choose a core disciple in the Great Perfection-stage of the Essence Converging Realm to fight against Wu Jue. If he loses, it means that he has lied before, and the sect will deal with him seriously. If he wins, it means that he has not lied. By then, no one will have any more opinions on the matter of him becoming a core disciple, and you must not make things difficult for him."

With such a condition, everyone would naturally have no opinion.

Next was the question of the time and place of the competition.

Originally, Mo Xiu planned to go back first, and wait for his cultivation to break through to the Middle-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm. However, Xiao Chen and others seemed to have seen through his thoughts and did not make him wish. They asked Mo Chong to take him to the combat field on the Divine Sword Peak directly.

After all, Mo Chong was an elder in charge of this aspect of affairs. This kind of thing should have been handled by him, so it was nothing strange.

After taking Mo Xiu to the combat field on Divine Sword Peak, Mo Chong said, "Good luck to you."

Mo Xiu understood what Mo Chong meant. Although only the core disciple in the Great Perfection-stage of the Essence Converging Realm about to fight with him, everyone's strength would be different under the same realm.

Like Mo Xiu, his cultivation base was only in the Early-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm, but his combat power was already comparable to many warriors in the higher realm.

There were not many disciples in the Great Perfection-stage of the Essence Converging Realm, but not too little either. If the other party was just an ordinary Essence Converging Realm experts, it was fine, but if he was far more powerful than the same level and could compete with the Abstruse Form Realm master, then it was very tricky to deal with.

Mo Xiu knew that this kind of thing was not determined by luck, but by Xiao Chen, but Mo Chong was not in the queue of people who wanted to make things difficult for him, so he didn't say much, he just nodded, walked to the ring, and waited silently.

Divine Sword Peak was the main peak of the Seraphic Sword Mountain Range and the core of the Seraphic Sword Sect. Outer disciples and inner disciples were generally not allowed to step into the boundary of Divine Sword Peak unless they were summoned.

But the core disciples could. They could practice their battle techniques in the combat field at this peak. They could also read the scriptures at the bottom of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. They could also consult the many elders on the Divine Sword Peak for problems encountered in their practice.

The arrival of Mo Xiu and Mo Chong drew the attention of the core disciples who were training in the combat field. When everyone turned their eyes to Mo Xiu, they began to guess.

Some even paused their practice and ran to the ring, waiting for a good show, or talking with Mo Chong who was also waiting.

After waiting for a while, a core disciple in the Great Perfection-stage of the Essence Converging Realm appeared and took his sword into the ring.

"You are the one who is going to fight me?" the visitor glanced at Mo Xiu, looking very arrogant.

Under the ring, the onlookers were a little surprised and soon began to discuss.

"It turned out to be Cen Danqiu, that Wu Jue is going to die."

"He is only in the peak-stage of the Essence Converging Realm, but his strength is comparable to that of the cultivators in the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm, right?"

"I heard that Senior Brother Cen's Peerless Extinguishing Sword Art has broken through to the fifth level. But it's a pity as it seems that Senior Brother Cen has no chance to use it today."

"It's just a weakling in the Early-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm, is it worth it to use that sword technique?"

...

Mo Xiu naturally knew Cen Danqiu, this was a famous genius among the core disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Cen Danqiu could compete with the warriors in the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm. This person did have such strength, and he had indeed fought with the people in the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm.

It seemed that Cen Danqiu was unwilling to fight Mo Xiu, but was forcibly called by Xiao Chen.

This was also understandable because Mo Xiu's cultivation base was only in the weak Profound Spirit Realm. For Cen Danqiu, he could only be interested when challenging the strong, and bullying the weak was meaningless.

Mo Xiu naturally wouldn't be afraid of Cen Danqiu. He took out the sword that Yuan Rou possessed and nodded, "Yes, it's me. But since you don't really want to fight, I will end the battle in the shortest time."
