The Strongest Sect of All Times

Yesterday, the more than 50 sect leaders thought that they could demonstrate the meaning of authority to Jun Changxiao using power and influence. But they were disrupted by the rhythm of <Iron Blood and Loyal Heart>.

When they recovered, Sect Head Jun was already wearing his sunglasses and smoking his cigar in the training field, the eight disciples lined up behind him. 

Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji stood with their hands behind their backs, looking valiant. 

Su Xiaomo, Li Fei, and Tian Qi had their arms crossed and heads held high. 

Lu Qianqian and Zhou Hong, one had a hand on the sword hilt and the other carried his sword. 

Ye Xingchen had set down the humiliating speaker, putting one foot on it as the corners of his mouth raised into an evil smile. 

Opposite to them were dozens of sect leaders and experts, but their arrogance and unyielding spirit did not diminish one bit!

The martial artists watching the fun felt surprise in their hearts. 

Although the Ironbone Sect’s grade was not high, the disciples had such an imposing manner!

However.

Sect Head Jun said that his Ironbone Unyielding Sect was here to wreck the place… wasn’t that a little arrogant?

Far more than a little. 

It was simply rampant!

Sitting before the main hall, Qin Haoran’s expression had gradually become dark, almost like he was about to curse. 

Everyone present was a person of Jianghu. Challenges were usually taken under the name of a martial exchange or a comparison of notes and theory, yet this guy had just said he was here to wreck the place. Even if he didn’t care about Jianghu customs, couldn’t he understand Jianghu’s morality and justice?

Jun Changxiao understood, but considering that he no longer cared about the Hundred Sects Alliance’s reputation — and how he had not been received at the gates — he was just going to run rampant. 

“Ignorant brat!”

One sect leader from the Alliance angrily said, “In—”

Jun Changxiao raised a hand, partially turning his head to point at him, indifferently saying, “I refuse to be suppressed!”

That sect leader remembered how Situ Wang had spat blood from resentment in Star Moon Pavilion, and so forcefully swallowed the words he wanted to blurt out. 

A few words and one movement made an Alliance expert to dare not speak. 

The martial artists here only for the show could only praise: “Expert!”

“Haha.”

Suddenly, laughter could be heard.

The people turned their heads to look and saw Ai Shangni walk through the crowd, a happy expression on his face. 

Was Patriarch Ai unable to watch this guy run rampant any longer and was here to stop him on behalf of Alliance Chief Qin?

This was what many people thought. 

It was also what Qin Haoran thought. He humbly said, “Patriarch Ai’s good intentions, this Qin has remembered. This child’s tongue is sharp, please do not waste time arguing with him.”

Ai Shangni did not pay any attention to him and walked towards Jun Changxiao. 

This made many of the martial artists decide that Patriarch Ai was dead set on helping Alliance Chief Qin, even wanting to verbally spar from a close distance. 

This friendship was truly deep, how enviable!

Although Alliance Chief Qin felt a little sorry, the corners of his mouth lifted into a complacent smile. 

A great number of experts had gathered here, far more than the Great Sect Competition held not long ago. Under such a circumstance, the Ai Family was here to support him, it was truly a Heaven-sent blessing!

Brat. 

That is the Ai Family patriarch. 

Not only does he have broad connections, he sells high-grade alchemical pills.

He is here to help this alliance chief look good today. If you dare offend him today, you will be offending more than just Qingyang Commandery.

At that moment, Qin Haoran was hoping to see Jun Changxiao offend Ai Shangni; like that, the number of his enemies would rise and the boy would have a miserable fate.

“Sect Head Jun.”

Ai Shangni, who had walked over, opened his mouth, a smile like spring breeze on his face. 

The audience decided, this was mockery!

However!

The following movement and words made them collectively dumbfounded.

The movement was a bow and the words were: “Have you been well?”

— This…

— I got it, I got it!

After all, the Ai Family has been in the business world for many years, they are always rational and respectful. They do not think of directly antagonizing their opponents, but will first go through the required pleasantries. 

Worthy of being an elite soldier!

Before offending a person, they would first politely give their regards!

If that Jun Changxiao opened his mouth to spout insults now, not only would he appear uneducated, he would appear frivolous!

— Note it down, this is a textbook example of how you should go about offending people!

The sect leader that had swallowed his words a moment ago felt extreme admiration. He felt like he had been too angry a moment ago, forgetting his demeanor. Otherwise, how would he have wanted to heatedly argue with a brat?

“Patriarch Ai.”

Jun Changxiao smiled and greeted, “How come you are also here?”

The martial artists who had been admiring Ai Shangni’s secretive viciousness saw that Jun Changxiao had such a happy expression on his face — saw his politeness — and blanked out for a moment. 

— Fuck me!

— Perfect imitation, the move was countered!

At that moment, everyone seemed to notice the aura of two opposing gangs appearing around Ai Shangni and Jun Changxiao’s bodies. 

Although they had happy expressions on their faces, acting like they were old friends who had met by chance, they were actually engaging in a silent and intense battle of wit. 

— Expert, expert!

While the various audience members were creating excessive explanations in their heads, Patriarch Ai said, “Hearing that your honorable sect would come to the Vast Spirit Gate for a martial exchange, as a good friend, I naturally had to come here and cheer.”

— First stating his own standpoint then beginning to antagonize, how artful!

The people watched as Jun Changxiao’s expression twitched, guessing that the guy had finally released the opponent was too strong — was he going to concede?

He did not retreat.

Instead, he humbly smiled. “The Ai Family is here to cheer, this Jun is deeply grateful.”

Gah.

The people were dumbfounded. 

This guy thought the Ai Family was here to cheer for him?

“Hmph.”

Qin Haoran coldly sneered, “Sect Head Jun, you really flatter yourself.”

“Flatter myself?” Jun Changxiao looked over at Ai Shangni, stunned. “Is Patriarch Ai not here to cheer for this Jun?”

“Puhaha!”

“This guy still can’t tell?”

“Can’t he use his brain a little? Patriarch Ai is from a noble and alchemical family, why would he be here to support an eighth-grade sect?”

The sect leaders of the Hundred Sects Alliance seized a good opportunity and unscrupulously ridiculed him. 

“Correct.”

Patriarch Ai quickly responded with a smile, “The reason this Ai rushed over from Huyang City was to make a special trip and cheer for Sect Head Jun!”

Gah. 

The experts of the Alliance suddenly stopped, some even seemed to choke. 

The vehicle’s speed was too fast, the turn too sharp. 

The martial artists here to see the show were all wide-eyed in shock, even suspecting they had misunderstood. 

“Many thanks,” Jun Changxiao said. 

Alliance Chief Qin’s expression had solidified, saying in disbelief, “Patriarch Ai, you… you just said you are here to cheer for this boy?”

Patriarch Ai moved to stand behind Jun Changxiao, stopping at the edge of the training field to say, “Correct.”

“Hahaha!”

Xie Guangkun, who had been enduring for a long time, finally laughed out loud. “Who was it that was flattering himself? I feel embarrassed for him.”

Qin Haoran’s complexion immediately seemed to turn green, a green that made people nervous!

City Lord Xie brought the patriarchs of Qingyang City towards Jun Changxiao and greeted, “Sect Head Jun, do not fear, the 3.6 million people of my Qingyang City will support you in your fight today!”

Saying so, he walked towards Patriarch Ai. 

When Patriarch Li brushed past Li Qingyang, he patted the boy on his shoulder. “Son, Father is standing behind you. Do not lose the face of my Li Family, do not lose the face of the Ironbone Unyielding Sect!”

After hearing how his son had defeated an inner disciple of the Holy Spring Sect on Spirit Spring Mountain, Patriarch Li had sat crying in his study for a long time. At that time, he also realized that his son had truly made the correct decision back then!

Arriving at Vast Spirit Gate, he was not here as a representative of the 3.6 million citizens, but here as a father!

“Mhm.”

Li Qingyang hummed with a firm gaze. Supporting him were Ai Shangke, Xie Guangkun, and all the 3.6 million citizens of Qingyang City. 

“Sect Head Jun.”

Suddenly, there was a deep voice saying, “In the sect, this old man heard Ma Yunteng say that you were not a simple beansprout. Today, I will see if he is correct.”

By Patriarch Ai, there appeared an old man with long white hair and sharp eyes. 

“Senior is…?” Jun Changxiao asked. 

The old man responded, “Azure Mountain Sect, Wang Donglin.”

This sentence shocked the audience. 

Was Wang Donglin not one of the Azure Mountain Sect’s Four Great Elders, with a cultivation of Peak Martial Ancestor?

“Sect Head Jun.” Ai Shangni whispered, “This Ai invited him.”

So that’s how it was. 

Jun Changxiao stood with his hands behind his back and turned to Qin Haoran. In his most Jianghu, most normal and respectful voice, he announced, “Ironbone Unyielding Sect Head Jun Changxiao, leads disciples to challenge the Vast Spirit Gate!”
