Originally, the saintess of a sect was the belief of the entire sect.

The selected people are all pure and pure female disciples who have been trained by the sect since childhood and are well versed in the discipline of the sect.

The reason why the conditions for becoming a saint are so demanding is because they are responsible for guarding the altar for the sect on a daily basis, and taking care of all important matters related to etiquette in the sect's ancestor worship and festival celebrations.

Here in Jian Zong, they have to manage the sword tomb where they are now and the ancestral hall where the founder of the sect is.

It can be said that the status of the Saint of the Sword Sect in the minds of her disciples is no less than that of the two guardians on the left and right.

When facing the ancestors, he is even more holy than the patriarch.

But now, Chu Chunfeng, the protector on the left, kept saying that the sect leader and the protector on the right actually wanted to personally send the saint daughter of their Sword Sect to the palace of the Great Xia court.

This is really unacceptable to them as disciples.

What was even more shocking was of course Ye Ziling herself, who was a saint.

After hearing what the master had just said, her beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide, and she stood there for a while, unable to believe her ears.

"This is impossible. Master must have made a mistake. How could the lord agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

Her first reaction was that there must be some misunderstanding between the teacher and the master of the Sword Sect.

If this is the case, he insists on defecting to the Sword Sect just to save herself. If the misunderstanding is resolved, maybe the sect leader will give his teacher a lighter punishment.

However, before Ye Ziling could take action on her idea, Elder You's words completely shattered her illusions.

"Haha, so what can this do? Originally, it is the duty of the Sword Sect's disciples to contribute to the Sword Sect. Even if they are saints, what can they do?"

With a "buzz" sound, Ye Ziling felt that his head suddenly went blank after hearing this.

Not only her, but also the other disciples in the cave were stunned on the spot when they learned that what Elder Zuo was accusing was actually true.

Let the saint of their Sword Sect become the concubine of the Dog Emperor?

Where does this put their long-held belief in Sword Sect?!

"Absurd! It's simply ridiculous! How can the lord be so confused!"

"If you want to send the saint away, I will be the first to disagree!"

"Yes! We have to go to the sect leader to ask for orders! The saint can't leave!"

...

Soon, the disciples who reacted first started to explode, inciting the surrounding fellow disciples who were still in ignorance to rush out of the Sword Tomb and seek an explanation from the sect leader.

Even those who had previously held swords and tried to block the disciples in the cave from leaving the cave on behalf of the Right Protector began to waver.

"You are all so presumptuous! Have you forgotten that you are all disciples of the Sword Sect!"

"Sister Master's decision is not something that ordinary disciples like you can arbitrarily discuss. Go back to the cave. Otherwise, don't blame me, Shen Haonan, for not showing kindness to fellow disciples!"

After that, he took off the sword from his waist, held the hilt in his hand and used his other hand to push the sword out of the scabbard just a little bit.

A powerful sword energy spurted out from his sword box, rushing towards the disciples who wanted to forcefully break through.

Sensing the murderous intent brought about by Elder Right's drawing of the sword, these disciples took a few steps back, suddenly losing the arrogance of wanting to seek justice for their master.

After all, in their sword sect, they have always relied on swordsmanship to make sense.

The sword is justice. If there is a dispute that cannot be arbitrated, resorting to the sword is the best way to resolve it.

"Shen Haonan, do you think that you are the only one who knows how to use a sword, and I, Chu Chunfeng, can't?"

"Quickly make way for me and ask me to take my disciples out. Otherwise, even if I force my way in, I won't ask you to take my disciples away!"

Let’s start hardening each other directly!

Chu Chunfeng also showed off his sword Honglu and looked at Shen Haonan with a resolute look, as if he would kill him at any time if he dared to act rashly.

After spending so many years with her master, Ye Ziling has never seen her master be so decisive and show no mercy to his colleagues.

"It turns out that Master wanted to break up with Jian Zong because of me. Before that, I actually mistakenly thought that Master was bewitched by Dou Zong..."

After thinking clearly about her master's intentions, Ye Ziling did not want her teacher to put herself at risk again.

"Master, everything happened because of my disciple. Since the master has made up his mind, my disciple is willing to fulfill his will."

"Please stop taking action on behalf of my disciple. I will follow Elder You to see the sect leader and follow his arrangements..."

Speaking of the end, this beautiful girl no longer had any confidence in herself, and she lowered her head sadly, as if she had accepted her fate.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, a warm big hand gently patted her shoulder.

"Ling'er, what's happening now is not that you can save our Sword Sect just by agreeing to be sent to the palace."

"The sect master is so blinded by power that he insists on uniting with the royal family to put Douzong to death."

"Whether our sect can survive in the future depends entirely on your own efforts!"

"Don't worry, you have been practicing with my master for so many years. I have long regarded you as my own flesh and blood. Even if I risk my life today, I will send you out of this Sword Sect. No.

You will live in grievance for the rest of your life!"

Although Chu Chunfeng had explained all the causes and consequences to his apprentice, Chu Chunfeng did not have time to explain some key details to her.

But these heartfelt words, just the last sentence, were enough to warm the already cold heart of his beloved disciple.

"Yes! Master, I understand! I will fight side by side with you. Even if I really want to die in battle, I will not let you down. I will be taken alive by this man named Shen!"

After saying that, the saint of the sword sect wiped away the tears that came from her eyes with her white sleeves, and her expression once again became as resolute as her master.

The Tingfeng sword she was holding in her arms was also held in her hand, and she glared at the arrogant Right Protector, as if she was going to draw the sword against him if he dared to harm her master.

Seeing that his sword was completely unsheathed, but he still hadn't asked Chu Chunfeng and his disciples to surrender, Shen could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart.

"Okay! If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a penalty!"

"Mr. Chu, do you know that the instructions given to me by the sect master were just to bring your female disciple back to him in full shadow?"

"As for whether you live or die, I have no control over it."

"Since you don't listen to my advice, there's no need for us to waste any more time! Just listen to the Long Yuan Sword in my hand tell you the truth!"

Before he finished speaking, the Longyuan sword he was holding tightly in his hand, which had a blade of more than an inch, was pulled out of its sheath with a "green clang".

Shen Haonan's figure suddenly disappeared from the entrance of the cave and rushed straight in the direction of Chu Chunfeng and Ye Ziling.

"Humph, just in time!"

Chu Chunfeng faced the opponent's urgent and fierce attack, neither moving nor dodging.

The Honglu Sword in his hand made a "choking" sound as he completely pulled it out of its scabbard, facing the direction where Shen Haonan's sword was stabbing, and slashed it casually.

"Boom!"

The two sword energies met between the two of them, immediately triggering a massive explosion.

The entire cave where the Sword Tomb was located trembled, and the remaining swords stuck in the rock wall or on the ground were vibrated by the blast of air, and they also let out bursts of mournful screams.
