Chapter 404: The Formal Founding of the Holy Sword Society

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing no more members coming, Lin Jingyu came to realize what had happened, so he questioned the current president of the Sword Association.

“Apprentice Brother Lin, it’s not my fault.” Pointing at Jiang Chen, Mo Jianfei said in anger, “It’s his fault!”

It turned out that it hadn’t been Mo Jianfei who had started the Sword Association. It had been handed on to him from his predecessor.

But by then, it had nearly fallen apart in Mo Jianfei’s hands.

“Him?” Lin Jingyu looked towards Jiang Chen. The disciples standing between them hurried to scatter, afraid they would get involved in the trouble as well.

The fact that he had been assigned to such an important job with Li Nanxing meant he was something, too, but Li Nanxing was so brilliant that he had been outshone.

Currently, due to the affairs of the Sword Association, he had attracted attention. He was also handsome.

Compared to Li Nanxing, he was more masculine, tall and majestic. His look was sharp, and even sharper when he frowned. No one even dared to look into his eyes.

“All right. It’s too trivial to handle now. Settle it later in private.” The grand elder didn’t give him the chance to pick a fight, but rebuked him.

“All disciples, you must arrive at the Flying Dragon City before sunrise tomorrow to wait for the opening of the secret treasure. No killing will be allowed in the secret treasure. You should help and support each other. And watch out for the Evil Cloud Palace,” the grand elder announced.

Then the disciples of the Hero Palace left in groups. They weren’t heading for the Flying Dragon City, but the Sacred City.

It was out of the question that the competition in the secret treasure would be very cruel. They had to prepare themselves thoroughly. Great amounts of recovery panaceas were indispensable. A spiritual armor that could keep them alive was absolutely necessary.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chen had a Golden Dragon Card. He intended to buy some useful things, but before leaving, Nan Gong came up to him and gave him something. He said, “Jiang Chen, this is the emblem of your guild, the Holy Sword Society. Anyone who wants to join the Holy Sword Society will have this emblem on their tokens.”

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, “If only I could have had it earlier.”

At that time, everyone was busy with the secret treasure. No one had extra time to join a guild.

“It’s even better timing now.”

Nan Gong looked at him confusedly. He pointed at the disciples who were still there and said, “All of those who haven’t left have the intention to join a guild, so that they can be part of a team.”

Jiang Chen looked over and found it was true. Most of them were former members of the Sword Association.

However, Jiang Chen found them looking at Lin Jingyu.

“Members of the Sword Association, I’m giving you a second chance to rejoin the association,” Lin Jingyu shouted.

He had learned from Mo Jianfei what had happened. His face was especially sullen. As the former president of the Sword Association, he wouldn’t allow such things to happen.

“Welcome to Holy Sword Society, too.”

Ying Wushuang pressed the emblem of the Holy Sword Society on her disciple token. It was like a seal that symbolized she had joined the Holy Sword Society formally.

It was undoubtedly a challenge to the Sword Association.

Jiang Chen wanted to say something, but seeing Ying Wushuang’s firm look and thinking of the pain she had suffered in the Sword Association, he decided to let it go.

Lin Jingyu strode over, his expression terrifying.

Since it was Ying Wushuang that had spoken, he aimed his aggressive energy directly at her.

Ying Wushuang almost stepped back in fear, but Jiang Chen stood in front of her before that.

Lin Jingyu’s sharp look met his.

“You’re Jiang Chen?” His voice was very low, and with the questioning tone, it sounded very fearsome.

“Yeah.”

“Did you know that your state is the lowest among the starters of the Hero Palace’s guilds? Aren’t you ashamed?” asked Lin Jingyu.

“With your strength, you don’t have to be hooked by your own lies. You know that state isn’t the only thing that matters.” Jiang Chen looked toward Mo Jianfei disdainfully, who was standing behind Lin Jingyu, and said, “If the presidents of the Sword Association are so crappy, why would I be ashamed?”

He wasn’t frightened by Lin Jingyu’s aggression. Instead, he fought back toughly. It was quite surprising.

Lin Jingyu hadn’t anticipated that. He squinted, giving off a strong energy.

“A foreigner, how ignorant.”

Lin Jingyu suddenly shook his head and said, “You’d better listen to me, you won’t be able to survive with dirty moves in the secret treasure.”

“Think about the difference between a team led by Apprentice Brother Lin Jingyu and one led by Jiang Chen. You should know what to choose.”

Mo Jianfei, who had defeated by Jiang Chen, took the role of henchman.

But he made sense. The reason others were still hesitant was because they were afraid if they rejoined the Sword Association, they wouldn’t be able to use Jiang Chen’s spiritual practice tools anymore.

“A treasure from the secret treasure could save you three years of hard practice. Besides, if you die there, what’s the point of the so-called restriction?” said Lin Jingyu.

What he had said helped those who had been hovering between the two make a final decision. Ninety percent of them rejoined the Sword Association.

But around ten of them joined the Holy Sword Society.

These ten-odd people might not have had the highest states, but their judgement and ambition were beyond compare.

They saw potential in Jiang Chen. They believed he would be much stronger than Lin Jingyu one day.

By then, as members of the Holy Sword Society, they would be quite honorable.

Lin Jingyu was unhappy to see those people join the Holy Sword Society. Among them were former members of the Sword Association.

“I can’t believe the Sword Association recruited a bunch of fools like you,” he cursed.

“The current Sword Association isn’t the previous Sword Association anymore. Mo Jianfei has ruined it!” someone mustered up the courage to say.

“Cheng Kang, what did you say?!” Mo Jianfei said, pointing at the guy.

Cheng Kang was hot-tempered, too. He answered, “Your fiancée Murong Yuan doesn’t know how to use a sword at all, but you recruited her to the Sword Association. She ran amuck in the name of her fiancée, the president of the Sword Association. The whole Hero Palace knows that!”

Lin Jingyu hadn’t known that until then, so Mo Jianfei was quite nervous when he heard.

“Whatever, don’t regret your decision later in the secret treasure.” Lin Jingyu waved his hand impatiently. He wasn’t going to waste anymore of his precious time on this.

He gave Jiang Chen a long stare before leaving.

“Jiang Chen.”

Ying Wushuang was a little nervous.

She had dragged Jiang Chen through the mud in order to vent her anger for the humiliation the Sword Association had brought her.

Although Jiang Chen had dealt with others for her multiple times, he had done it of his own free will.

It was the first time she had behaved like this. It meant she had formed a strong attachment to him.

Jiang Chen said, “It’s all right. It’s not your fault.”

He looked towards the other members of the Holy Sword Society and memorized their names. Then he hurried to head for the Sacred City to purchase some necessary things with others.

It suddenly occurred to him the Golden Dragon Card actually belonged to Master Chu Yun, rather than Jiang Chen.

This put him in a difficult situation. Did he have to tell Yin Shuang who he was?
