Chapter 453: Chapter 449: If He Weren’t a Star Tower Disciple, I’d Really Want to Recruit Him
Not far away, Jiang Ling’Er’s gaze was fixed on Su Jinyu.
Su Jinyu’s reactions seemed to validate Shen Han’s earlier claims.
She and Shen Han must have known each other long before.
Shen Han was determined to meet Su Jinyu in person this time and ask her some questions directly.
To Jiang Ling’Er, it must be something private between a man and a woman.
Otherwise, why couldn’t she relay the message?
Thinking about this, Jiang Ling’Er became increasingly displeased.
She had once been fond of Fu Tianqi, only to see Su Jinyu getting close to him.
When she finally found Shen Han, Su Jinyu was somehow involved with him too.
She truly seemed to be her nemesis.
In the contest arena, the battle between Yi Xingshan and Tian Fen grew increasingly intense.
Yi Xingshan’s strength was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.
However, Tian Fen’s prowess among the Inner Sect Disciples was always at the forefront.
By any measure, he was considered a master.
When he gathered his wits, Yi Xingshan began to struggle to defend.
The contest between the two had already proven Yi Xingshan’s talent and potential.
Regardless of whether his father is the Vice Sect Leader, his abilities qualified him for those resources.
Shen Han watched the scene, pondering for a moment.
To perceptive observers, Yi Xingshan’s displayed strength was sufficient.
But those who questioned him, if Yi Xingshan lost, would surely make an issue of it.
This plan, then, needed to be flawless.
With that thought, Shen Han slightly focused his mind.
His gaze shifted to the giant sword in Tian Fen’s hand.
During the contest, observing the opponent’s Magical Artifact attributes isn’t convenient.
But watching from the sidelines makes it easy.
After a while, a small purple text appeared: [Sturdy, Heavy Giant Sword].
Eyes condensated, Extract!
The purple text immediately fell, and the giant sword that originally gleamed suddenly exhibited a somewhat aged feeling.
Tian Fen, who was still fighting with Yi Xingshan, naturally didn’t notice these changes.
Within seconds, Shen Han picked up a [Inferior] gray text and threw it onto his weapon.
One advantage of the giant sword is that it can be used as a shield to fend off attacks.
Sword Might and Sword Qi, when the giant sword stands sideways, can all be blocked.
But this time, Yi Xingshan only wanted to force Tian Fen to retreat by swinging his sword twice.
When Sword Qi touched the body of the giant sword, it unexpectedly cut the giant sword in half.
Sword Qi slashed onto Tian Fen, fortunately, he wore armor and was unharmed.
Upon seeing this, Celestial Sword Sect’s Fourth Elder leaped out and stood between the two.
“The outcome is decided, no need to compete further.”
The moment Yi Xingshan cut off Tian Fen’s giant sword, many high-ranking officials already made up their minds about choosing sides.
At this moment, it seemed to them, all this was Yi Qi’s scheme.
Including Yi Xingshan’s supposed hysteria and his lack of strength.
All set up for the Grand Elder.
Grand Elder inadvertently fell into the trap, resulting in a miserable defeat.
The strategic abilities of the two greatly differ.
Now, who would be willing to stand with the Grand Elder?
In the contest arena, Tian Fen looked discontent: “Fourth Elder, I haven’t lost yet!
Even without a weapon, I can still win!”
“Enough!
Being able to cut your giant sword in half with Sword Qi is enough to prove Xingshan’s strength.
Your previous doubts now seem to be baseless!”
After the Fourth Elder finished speaking, the Third Elder also stepped out.
“In my opinion, Xingshan should not only get those resources.
He actually should receive more with his strength.
It seems the Vice Sect Leader considered other disciples and instead let his descendant suffer grievances…”
Upon hearing the Third Elder’s words, the disciples who previously harbored resentment towards the Vice Sect Leader felt a twinge of guilt.
They thought it was favoritism, unexpectedly, it turned out to be reverse favoritism.
Victorious in the contest, Yi Xingshan took a while to collect his thoughts.
Turning to Shen Han, he now finally understood the meaning of Shen Han’s King’s Way Technique.
His revealed strength made those previous accusations crumbled without any rebuttal possible.
No room for arguments.
With strength clearly showcased, what could be said?
Witnessing this, Shen Han mixed into the crowd, subtly prompting everyone.
“Those who smeared Yi Xingshan were definitely Celestial Sword Sect’s enemies sent as spies, the Elders should investigate thoroughly.”
With one sentence, waves were stirred.
The disciples, feeling guilt, suddenly had an outlet for expression.
They all believed it must be the spy intentionally misleading them, causing their misunderstanding of the Vice Sect Leader.
In a flash, emotions ran high.
Shen Han timely retreated, backing away from the crowd, watching the scene unfold.
In a hidden corner, Celestial Sword Sect’s Vice Sect Leader wore a faint smile.
“The Grand Elder didn’t expect to be outplayed by a young kid.
After this affair, most of the sect’s Elders will probably choose to stand with us.”
Beside him, Elder Yin likewise smiled.
“Young Master and Shen Han’s coordination is truly impressive, even I couldn’t help but praise.”
Yi Qi heard this and chuckled: “Elder Yin’s words are somewhat overestimating Xingshan.
Today’s accomplishment is likely all due to Shen Han’s plan.
Xingshan is immersed in cultivation, how could he have the mind for such strategies?
If Shen Han weren’t already a disciple of Star Tower, I’d love to bring him to our Celestial Sword Sect.”
Yi Qi could see Shen Han’s extraordinariness, he didn’t believe Star Tower’s Sect Leader couldn’t see it.
The relationship between Celestial Sword Sect and Star Tower is close, poaching a disciple would be improper.
Additionally, the atmosphere at Star Tower is vastly different from Celestial Sword Sect.
Yi Qi worried even if he extended an invitation, Shen Han might not be willing to come.
“Let’s head out; tomorrow we’ll personally meet that boy Shen Han.”
Inviting Shen Han to the manor as a guest had turned into personally meeting him.
At this moment, many Elders already made their choice.
Other high-ranking and middle-level authorities in the sect could only follow the trend.
Today’s affair greatly enhanced the Vice Sect Leader’s momentum.
Originally a perfect scheme, unexpectedly, the Grand Elder was utterly defeated.
In the eyes of the sect’s middle and high-level officials, they likely all considered the Vice Sect Leader’s tactics far superior.
On the other side, many Inner Sect Disciples witnessing this scene understood clearly.
The future leader of Celestial Sword Sect was decided.
“Junior Sister Su, are you feeling unwell today?
Your complexion doesn’t look quite right.”
Seeing Su Jinyu’s not-so-good state, Fu Tianqi quickly expressed concern.
“Is it because of the contest?
No worries, Junior Master Sun might be on the Grand Elder’s side, but he doesn’t actually affect the sect disciples.
It’s the sect rules, no matter the struggle, it cannot affect the sect’s disciples.”
