Chapter 182: Tiangang Sword Sect Swears to Protect Him to the Death to Break Out of the Encirclement!
“What does this mean?”
Not only Gu Xi, but the others were also stunned on the spot.
The Sect Masters looked at each other and had a bad premonition in their hearts.
One had to know that Xie Mingze was obsessed with swords, and his style of doing things depended entirely on his own will. He could give up everything for the way of the sword. From the fact that he wanted to commit suicide just now, it could be seen that this person had a temperament.
The Sect Master of the Ancient Sect said sternly, “Don’t be rash and do anything stupid.”
Xie Mingze’s gaze was cold, and the tip of his sword was actually aimed at the various sects.
“Where is my disciple?!”
Several powerful auras burst out, as if they could shake the sky. “Here!”
One had to know that although Xie Mingze was focused on practicing the sword and did not care about the secular affairs of the sect. His prestige in the sword sect was so high that even Xie Mingyu couldn ot compare to him.
After all, he was the pride of the Tiangang Sword Sect and the legend of the entire sect. For thousands of years, he had been the goal and aspiration of all the disciples. Even though he had just lost to Gu Xi, he could still shake the position in the hearts of all the disciples.
“Protect him, and help him kill his way out of this place if need be!”
Those disciples didn’t hesitate at all, “Yes!”
Huh?
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change.
One had to know how powerful the Tiangang Sword Sect was. It could be said to be one of the most powerful sects, yet they had now turned against each other.
The Sect Master of the Ethereal Illusion Mansion was even more furious. He said, “Xie Mingze, have you gone crazy from practicing the sword? ! Now you can’t even distinguish right from wrong. Do you really want to be enemies with all of us?”
Xie Mingze was expressionless. “I don’t want to be enemies with all of you. I only insist on the sword principle in my heart. Whoever destroys my sword principle and blocks my path will be my enemy.”
“Then go and deal with Gu Xi! He is your greatest enemy, yet you still want to protect him!”
Xie Mingze was very calm, in stark contrast to the flustered and exasperated Sect Masters. “I’ve tried. I lost just now, and I still can’t beat him now.”
Hearing these words, he could not help but sigh at Xie Mingze’s character. For such a sword cultivator, even if he lost, he would still lose calmly. He was worthy of the world, worthy of his own sword principle, and could only face his own defeat head-on, could he walk further in the path of the sword.
After what had happened just now, Xie Mingze’s situation had completely opened up. It was just that it was a little shocking.
“So before I can beat him, he is not allowed to die.”
What kind of logic was this?!
The Sect Master of Ethereal Illusion Mansion wanted to laugh when he heard this. He really wanted to see what was in Xie Mingze’s head. The others were so angry that they could not even speak.
“You!”
However, a small number of people actually felt that these words made sense. However, seeing that the Sect Masters were all very angry, they did not dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that they could not reason with the one-track-minded Xie Mingze, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu was not like Xie Mingze. He still knew the stakes involved. The Sect Master of the Pure Lotus Sect spoke kindly
“Sect Master Xie, please persuade him. Xie Mingze is the future of the way of the sword. He can’t let his temper lead him astray.”
“So what if he lost? That kid must have used some despicable means to win by a fluke. Wait for us to take him down together and avenge your Tiangang Sword Sect!”
At this moment, everyone could not care less about their morals. They only wanted to take care of Gu Xi together. If they did what they did just now a few more times, who knew who would be the next to defect?
Who would have thought that Xie Mingyu would take a few steps in Gu Xi’s direction?
The eyelids of the Sect Masters twitched, and an ominous premonition rose in their hearts once again.
Xie Mingyu knew his brother’s character. He would not turn back even if he were to break through the southern wall, even if he were to become the enemy of the entire world.
Now that Xie Mingze’s words had been made clear, he would not change his mind no matter what.
He sighed and said, “I’m sorry, everyone. Since Mingze has already made his decision, there’s nothing I can do to change it.”
Victory and defeat were common occurrences in war. If he died in a duel, he could only blame himself for being inferior. Neither Xie Mingze nor Xie Mingyu had any complaints.
Otherwise, he would be letting down the Dao he cultivated and the sword.
Moreover, when Xie Mingze wanted to commit suicide earlier, it was Gu Xi who had put the past behind him and even helped Xie Mingze rebuild his Sword Heart and cultivate the Dao of the sword. Xie Mingyu was extremely grateful for this.
“All disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect, listen up!”
“You must protect fellow Daoist Gu!”
“Yes!”
His voice was deafening, and everyone was stunned for a long time.
One second ago, Xie Mingze and Gu Xi had drawn their swords at each other, but in the next second, the entire Tiangang Sword Sect had turned against the other sects.
Mei Qianmeng and the people from the Demon Region hiding in the dark were also extremely surprised. Things had actually developed to such an extent, which was really beyond their expectations.
The people of the Demon Region were well aware of Xie Mingze’s strength. He had annihilated several major powers in the Demon Region with a single sword strike. There was even a period of time when the people of the Demon Region changed their expressions when they heard the name Xie Mingze.
They did not expect that he would be defeated by Gu Xi in just a single move. From this, one could see Gu Xi’s strength.
Mei Qianmeng’s eyes shone with a bright light, “I told you that he had more tricks up his sleeve. If this guy joins the Demon Region, the Demon Venerable would definitely be extremely happy.”
“This Gu Xi has some ability. He can actually make the Tiangang Sword Sect turn against the other sects. Who knows, they might really be able to protect Gu Xi and fight their way out of the encirclement. Wouldn’t that affect our plan?”
Mei Qianmeng was confident. “Even the Tiangang Sword Sect can’t face so many people. Moreover, Xie Mingze abhors evil. If he knows that Gu Xi is related to the Demon Region…”
“At that time, I want to see if he will still stand by Gu Xi’s side!”
Not to mention Xie Mingze, even the entire Righteous path would see Gu Xi as a thorn in their side. At that time, Gu Xi would have nowhere to go.
All of this was under Mei Qianmeng’s control.
