"Whose swordsmanship were the two of you taught by?"
Suddenly, a voice arose from the side, and then an elder clad in a gray robe strolled out.
"Greetings, Sword Elder!"
In an instant, a disciple recognized the identity of the gray-robed elder, hurried to step aside, and bowed respectfully.
As the Sword Elder, he was specifically tasked with teaching sect disciples the Sword Techniques as a Dharma Transmission Elder.
Of course, in recent years, the Sword Elder rarely personally taught anymore. Instead, he had some of his disciples substitute for him, and in fact, quite a few of his disciples had already smoothly advanced to elder status themselves, which indeed hinted at his high standing.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even Zhou Dongfei has to show some respect to the Sword Elder.
Yet, what was unexpected was that the Sword Elder, who had not dealt with sect affairs for a long time, was now suddenly interested in these two juniors.
"Disciples Miao Yu, Miao Jie, greet the Sword Elder!"
Faced with the Sword Elder, the two couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, hurriedly paying their respects.
"I ask you again, who taught you this swordsmanship?"
With a wave of his hand, the Sword Elder asked again.
"It is... Brother Wang Junze who taught us." Miao Yu quickly replied.
"Wang Junze?" Slightly dumbfounded, the Sword Elder found the name unfamiliar and couldn’t immediately recall who that was.
Called by name, Wang Junze naturally couldn’t continue to hide. He stepped forward and said loudly, "True Disciple Wang Junze greets the Sword Elder!"
"I remember now; it was you who ascended the Sword Tier previously."
Upon seeing Wang Junze, the Sword Elder recalled who he was and nodded slightly, "Was it you who taught them this swordsmanship?"
"I wouldn’t say taught, more like offering guidance during their sword practice." Wang Junze shook his head, "If there are any mistakes, I ask for the Sword Elder’s forgiveness."
Even in front of the Sword Elder, Wang Junze maintained a low profile.
"Mistakes? This isn’t just any mistake!"
Laughing coldly, the Sword Elder spoke indifferently, "You’re trying to decipher the Profound Moon Sword Technique!"
This statement immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.
Decipher the Profound Moon Sword Technique, isn’t that too outrageous?
The Profound Moon Sword Technique was created by the ancestor of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and is considered the foundation for all disciples’ training. Just mastering it is incredibly difficult, and as for deciphering it... such a feat is something no one has dared to imagine.
If these words had come from someone else’s mouth, people would have dismissed it as madness, but coming from the Sword Elder, they had no choice but to believe.
Even Wang Junze’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat at this moment!
Indeed, he was attempting to deconstruct the Profound Moon Sword Technique. Just from these few techniques he guided Miao Yu and Miao Jie on, the Sword Elder saw through it. His comprehension of the Sword Dao is truly astonishing!
After a brief silence, Wang Junze chose not to hide the truth.
Slightly bowing, he earnestly explained, "It’s not deciphering, it’s deconstructing!"
"By deconstructing each sword technique, the essence becomes easier to comprehend. Of course... I’m merely attempting..."
Not letting Wang Junze finish, the Sword Elder coldly interrupted, reprimanding him, "You’ve just stepped into Refining Spirit and instead of focusing properly on practice, you’re indulging in unorthodox methods. Utterly arrogant!"
At this moment, the Sword Elder’s eyes held an undisguised look of disdain.
This wasn’t just mere admonishment anymore but labeling Wang Junze as arrogant and self-important!
However, this was not the end. The Sword Elder continued reproaching, "It’s one thing to take these misguided paths yourself, but to teach others, misleading your juniors—what are you trying to do?! Transmission? Are you even qualified?"
Not to mention Wang Junze, upon hearing these words, Miao Yu and Miao Jie were already terrified beyond belief.
Though the Sword Elder was scolding Wang Junze, his words implicated them as well.
After all, Wang Junze was a True Disciple, but if they were marked as having taken a misguided path, they would be in real trouble.
The Sword Elder’s words were too harsh, and if allowed to continue, Wang Junze’s reputation could truly be ruined. More importantly, it might severely impact his confidence, potentially breaking a young talent’s spirit. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Geng Changfeng couldn’t help but softly remind.
Yet facing the Sword Elder, even the Sect Elders dared not intervene easily. Only Zhou Dongfei could directly step in to quiet things down.
"No rush, let’s see how he responds first."
Keeping a composed demeanor, Zhou Dongfei had no intention of stepping in immediately, calmly replying.
He understood that the Sword Elder’s words brought tremendous pressure on Wang Junze, yet he wanted to see how Wang Junze would handle such stress.
Would he admit fault and yield, or would he stand firm?!
In fact, now everyone on Profound Moon Mountain had their eyes glued to Wang Junze.
Not only the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but also the members of other sects and families felt the pressure brought on by the Sword Elder, while those close to Wang Junze couldn’t help but sweat for him!
Why not just admit a mistake?!
Many couldn’t help but think this in their hearts.
After all, when faced with an elder like the Sword Elder, lowering one’s head and conceding wasn’t seen as disgraceful.
Even Luo Qingxuan, at this moment, looked at Wang Junze with a trace of worry in her eyes.
The more familiar one was with the Sword Elder, the more they understood how significant his presence was within the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
Wang Junze naturally felt these gazes upon him.
Standing before the Sword Elder, he bore an even greater pressure than what others could perceive.
Yet... at this moment, Wang Junze felt no fear in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Wang Junze suddenly lifted his head, his face showing a hint of mockery.
Admit fault? Lower his head?!
"May I ask, Sword Elder, are you a Sword Saint, or a Sword God? Have you seen the pinnacle of the Sword Dao?"
Wang Junze’s voice was light, but it carried a sharpness that seemed to pierce through heavens and earth.
This sentence alone was like a sword, striking back at the Sword Elder!
Upon hearing this, the Sword Elder was instantly enraged, his aura surged violently as he sternly rebuked.
Yet this threatening aura couldn’t intimidate Wang Junze.
In the face of the Sword Elder’s wrath, Wang Junze’s expression remained unchanged, calmly continuing, "So it seems you haven’t? Then, may I ask again, Sword Elder, was it you who created the Profound Moon Sword Technique?"
