Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw them. He knew this was bad and quickly hid in the crowd.
Huangfu Song's attention was not on Li Chengfeng and the rest. He stared straight at Grand Senior Brother, and with a light tap of his body, he slipped through the crowd like a ghost. Everyone felt a gust of wind blow past them, followed by a slight chill. Before they could react, Huangfu Song had already passed through the crowd. Everyone was so close to each other that the distance between them was less than a fist's length. Yet, Huangfu Song was able to slip through the crowd so quickly. This level of cultivation shocked everyone present.
Grand Senior Brother glared at Huangfu Song, his face ashen. "Huangfu Song, what are you doing here?!
Did you plan this all on your own? "
Huangfu Song said, "Aiya, Grand Senior Brother, you've wronged me!
I was just accompanying Senior Sister Ji for a stroll today, but I heard that it's so crowded here, that's why I came to take a look. "
Huangfu Song clasped his hands behind his back as he strolled brazenly in front of the crowd, sizing them up. His back was facing Grand Senior Brother, as if he did not care about him at all.
Ouyang Nan was furious. He wanted to step forward but Qin Mieqin pulled him back. Mieqin glared at him, and Ouyang Nan suppressed his anger and huffed.
"I didn't expect this, Grand Senior Brother. You're the Grand Senior Brother of Hidden Sword Court, yet you can't control this situation?"
Huangfu Song paced back and forth in front, then turned to Grand Senior Brother and smiled. "Or … Hidden Sword Court disciples want to leave this place?"
Sun Yongcai yelled, "Yes, we don't want to stay here for another day!"
Only a few voices in the crowd agreed. Most of them did not agree loudly. After all, publicly betraying the court was a very serious matter. If they had nowhere to go, they would be kicked out of the sect from being a privileged cultivator and become a commoner. Moreover, they, who had fallen from such a high position, would end up worse than commoners. They would not be able to become rich even if they wanted to.
Although Huangfu Song had agreed to it just now, who knew if he had said it casually to spite his Eldest Senior Brother?
After all, everyone in the Spiritual Mountain Sect knew about the grudge between these two.
Huangfu Song smiled, "Alright, those who want to leave, I can guarantee you right now that you can't enter Hidden Brocade Court or Hidden Beauty Court, but you can enter Hidden Modesty Court."
Everyone became excited. "Is Senior Brother Huangfu speaking the truth?"
"Absolutely?"
"He's from Hidden Brocade Court, how could he represent Hidden Modesty Court to boast like this? He must be lying to us!"
"Make him swear!"
Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Even if Hidden Modesty Court doesn't want you, Hidden Brocade Court can still take you in as servants.
What do you think? We are the Hidden Brocade Court. Do you believe us now? "
Grand Senior Brother was enraged, "Bastard, how can we, the disciples of Hidden Sword Court, become Hidden Brocade Court's slaves!"
He turned to the disciples of Hidden Sword Court and shouted, "Disciples of Hidden Sword Court, straighten your spines! You'd rather be a ghost under the sword than a servant!"
Ouyang Nan, Qin Mieqin, Qiu Chuqiu, An Tong and the rest all held their swords and glared at the disciples of Hidden Sword Court. Ouyang Nan even laughed sinisterly, "Who dares to leave!
Ask my sword first! "
Ji Chunhua glanced at Ouyang Nan and sneered disdainfully. With a flick of her wrist, a spinning snowflake appeared in her palm. The snowflake spun rapidly, growing larger with each spin. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to the size of a thumb.
Ji Chunhua gently blew on the snowflake in her palm, and a gust of cold air suddenly rushed towards Ouyang Nan. Ouyang Nan was stunned, he did not expect Ji Chunhua to use a spell on him in front of everyone. In a moment of carelessness, his entire body was immediately enveloped by the cold air, and his entire body began to crack and freeze.
In the blink of an eye, Ouyang Nan and his sword had been frozen into an ice sculpture, unable to move.
A sword instantly appeared in Grand Senior Brother's hand. He stared at Ji Chunhua and sneered, "Ji Chunhua, are you trying to start a personal fight?"
Ji Chunhua patted her chest and giggled, "Aiyo, I'm not worthy of your words, Grand Senior Brother. Who would dare to start a personal fight between two sects?
That's a great sin, and they'll be expelled from the sect.
I'm just asking Junior Brother Ouyang Nan to calm down, so that the other Junior Brothers have a chance to choose for themselves. "
Huangfu Song smiled and continued, "Now, all the Junior Brothers of Hidden Sword Court are free to choose. If you want to stay in Hidden Sword Court, you can stand with your beloved Grand Senior Brother.
If you want to leave this place and fight for a new future, you can stand behind me. "
Finally, the dagger was revealed!
Grand Senior Brother stared closely at Huangfu Song. He did not know why Huangfu Song chose this moment to suddenly attack them, but he knew that this was the biggest crisis of Hidden Sword Court!
The Hidden Sword Court disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncertainty and struggle.
Grand Senior Brother tried his best to persuade them, "Junior Brothers, look around you. Do you really want to leave this place that you've lived in for so many years?
Do you really want to leave the brothers that have gone through thick and thin with you? "
Everyone had feelings, and Grand Senior Brother's words made everyone look guilty, and they all lowered their heads.
Sun Yongcai stood up and said loudly, "Yes, of course we can't!
But if this goes on, it's not just Hidden Sword Court that's going to die, it's us and our families too!
We came here to be the best of the best, not to be cannon fodder for Hidden Sword Court! "
Grand Senior Brother said angrily, "Are you saying that being a slave is also the best of the best?!"
Sun Yongcai laughed coldly, "Even being a slave for Hidden Brocade Court is better than waiting for death in Hidden Sword Court!"
His words were like a heavy hammer, smashing heavily into the hearts of the disciples. They were shocked, 'Yes, why did we come here to cultivate?
Is it for the so-called honor and loyalty?
Isn't it to become stronger, to change the fate of ourselves and our families?
If we continue to stay here, other than sinking with Hidden Sword Court, what else can we get?
Loyalty?
Honor?
What does that have to do with us?!
Only by staying alive could we have everything!
Instantly, more than fifty disciples stood behind Huangfu Song. Grand Senior Brother's face was pale. He opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He did not know how to persuade these hopeless Hidden Sword Court disciples to stay.
Huangfu Song smiled at the remaining disciples who were still hesitating and struggling, "Hidden Brocade Court took you in as slaves, but it was only a temporary measure. When the time comes, we will still make proper arrangements for you. We will not actually order you around like slaves, so you can all rest assured."
At this moment, the last line of defense in the hearts of the disciples collapsed. One by one, they stood behind Huangfu Song.
Grand Senior Brother, Mieqin and the rest all had red eyes, their eyes filled with anger and blood vessels. They gripped their swords so tightly that their hands were shaking so hard that they turned white, but they did not have the courage to draw their swords!
They could only watch as Huangfu Song and Ji Chunhua arrogantly drew the blood of Hidden Sword Court in front of them, until the last drop of blood was sucked dry!
The crowd dwindled until there were only about ten people left. Huangfu Song could not help but laugh out loud, "Grand Senior Brother, from now on, you're a bachelor!
Hidden Sword Court will no longer exist!
Not a single disciple will stay, you're such a failure as the Grand Senior Brother! "
Speaking of which, the reason why the disciples were swayed so quickly was closely related to Eldest Senior Brother's usual strict requirements.
The more they trained, the more they did, the more they fought, but the less they received. It would be strange if the resentment in their hearts did not grow.
Grand Senior Brother's face was ashen, he was now in complete despair. Hidden Sword Court … was destroyed in his hands!
He did not even have time to carry out his plan, and it was all over!
Suddenly, a clear and loud voice rang out, "Cleansing Moon Li Chengfeng is willing to stay in Hidden Sword Court!"
