The Way of the Sword

Zhong Liang coolly watched these young cultivators who mocked Zemin Yan, he didn't realize that the words of a 10-year-old could reveal what is so bad about people. Already Lan Ruan was getting mad, how could people blow a simple comment on something so big and malicious?

"Is life not important? Course is! So why is little Yan being persecuted as a great sinner against the sect because of this ?! "Lan Ruan thought a little bleakly. In real combat, if the cultivator fails to win, that cultivator must try to survive and flee so that he has a future to even formulate revenge or become stronger! 

It was so silly what people preached "The martial cultivator has to be brave and fearless even in the face of death!" So why don't you go and kill yourself soon ?! For death does not scare these people! What Zemin Yan said, if it were Lan Ruan in a similar situation, he would say the same thing as little Yan!

This surprised these two people because of the time they spent as central disciples of the Celestial Sword sect, they were like noble lords and untouched by human filth, with only a few annoyances. When did these two people mock their colleagues or was there anyone who openly mocked them?

So there is no way for them to understand how the human heart works when they are jealous or under so much pressure that they would rather discount other people than stand it all on their own. Sure, there were some people who were only there to cause chaos, but most of the mocking cultivators were cultivators of the small and medium sects who were jealous of Zemin Yan's position as the new disciple of the Celestial Sword sect. This was a position these people crave in their sweetest dreams, but they would never succeed.

Clearly, it is mainly Jun Lin's fault that incited the others, even Bohai Xiulan would cause such a commotion, after all he and Zemin Yan were the same age and could be viewed as rivalry or quarrel between children, but when an internal disciple with some status to talk and she said those malicious words, it was like giving an invitation to all the unhappy people in that place.

"I'm better than this 10-year-old, so why is he a disciple of the great sect and not me?" The thoughts of those who mocked were similar to this one. 

There were still many who remained silent watching, especially those of the high-ranking sects, who did not know that even the inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword sect were better than the disciples of any other sects and than the wandering cultivators? The title of humanity's first sect was for nothing!

Tigers and dragons hide inside a large sect, who knows if this child will not be a dragon in the future? So the mockery caused some commotion, but only the fools jumped in front to make a pathetic show, most watched and waiting for the great sect to beat the clowns.

Zemin Yan's friends were furious and wanted to react, but the boy stopped his friends and simply ignored them all. Although he looked very serious and calm, his face was still pale and his eyes looked like they were going to shed tears because it was so bright! What caused their friends' hearts to ache, they wanted to be strong enough to shut them all up, but now they were small fish in the face of this large malicious school.

"Master, you should stop singing happily! Don't you mind people being mocking you? Aren't you angry? "Sying asked through soul contract. He was the only one who knew how Zemin Yan truly felt. He could hear Zemin Yan singing happily as if he were walking in a beautiful forest and not being mocked.

"Are you angry will help me get stronger? Will I be able to cross the skies and become emperor if I get angry at these ferocious people? I don't care what they say, if I cared what people talk about, I'd be a little orphan killed by magic beasts for a long time! "Replied Zemin Yan quietly. 

Jun Lin took Zemin Yan's silence as guilt or as if his silence claimed she was right, so things got worse and she began to wonder how a "coward" could have become a disciple of the great sect! Of course, those dissatisfied with the big sects and the losers who failed the big test also added heavier words, trying to undermine the confidence of the 10-year-old. 

The Elders of the Five Families and General Yan stared in horror at these stupid martial cultivators, it was one thing to offend a child, it was another thing to stalk a 10-year-old boy and humiliate a great sect! 

However, these foolish martial cultivators did not realize that even the representatives of the silent sect did not mean that they did not care, on the contrary, even if these powerful people acted more cruelly the sect would be in their punishment. 

For these idiotic cultivators, the silence of the sect is as if it were some kind of approval, plus Jun Lin who is an inner disciple is leading the crowd, so these cultivators of other sects were not afraid, if anything went wrong, just put the blame on the head of this malicious tongue disciple.

Jun Lin, who had not realized that she was already being used as a shield, which was still too humiliating for the Celestial Sword sect, continued to question Zemin Yan who seemed to ignore her completely, while Bohai Xiulan had been silenced by his friend and great brother Zhie Quan

Zemin Yan was not really listening at all, as he was practicing his mantra for spiritual elevation.

This was a mantra that only worked if he had suffered great humiliation, it is called the "Black Dragon and the Proud Eagle" mantra. This is a mantra-based on a popular story hundreds of years ago, said to have been around since the Emperor's Age.
