Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Today was the Profound Sword Sect’s triennial Sword Worship Assembly. The sect would invite all the important figures of the top 100 sects of the southern domain to come and watch.

The so-called Sword Worship Assembly was, on one hand, to display the Profound Sword Sect’s strength, so as to better recruit outstanding disciples into the sect.

On the other hand, it was a method to select outstanding disciples inside the sect and let the Law Enforcement Elders give tips to these disciples.

For these disciples, this was a grand occasion.

Every time it was held, basically all the inner and outer disciples of the sect would attend.

Apart from the chance to get the elders’ tips, there was also a chance to gain the elders’ favor and become their personal disciples.

One had to know that the lowest level that the elders in the sect had was the Law Enforcement Realm.

And it was the Law Enforcement Realm for sword cultivators.

In the cultivation world, everyone knew that among the cultivators with the same level of cultivation strength, sword cultivators’ attacking techniques were unparalleled!

If they could become the personal disciples of the sect elders, they would achieve much higher levels in the future.

After all, who didn’t want to ride a sword and fly all over the world?

Therefore, every Sword Worship Assembly would attract many disciples, especially the outer sect disciples since this was the only chance they could change their fate.

They hoped that the elders would take a liking to them and change their lives.

Of course, most of the time, the elders would select from the inner sect disciples.

But even so, for the outer sect disciples, even if there was only a sliver of a chance, it was enough to make these people extremely excited.

And at this moment, the outer sect disciples were all waiting in excitement for the Sword Worship Assembly.

However, there was a quarrel coming from a corner.

“Hey, you trash, what are you looking at?” A rough man with a long face shouted.

Judging from the yellow sackcloth they were wearing, one could see they were outer sect disciples.

“Isn’t this Ma Liang? Why is he always bullying this girl?” An outer sect disciple asked.

“Don’t you know? That girl is called Bai Weiwei. She comes from the Bai Clan of New Moon City, which is under the control of the Profound Sword Sect.”

“So what?”

“Have you forgotten where Ma Liang comes from? The Earth Rock Sect.”

“The Earth Rock Sect and the Bai Clan are two of the three major forces in New Moon City. These two forces are enemies. It would be a miracle if these two people could get along.”

…

People began to whisper. Many of them looked as if they were enjoying a show.

However, their words did not cause the slightest ripple in Bai Weiwei’s eyes.

Meanwhile, her friends began to worry.

“Weiwei, let’s go, okay? If we can’t afford to offend him, we can go,” the round-faced girl grabbed her hand and said.

Bai Weiwei stroked the girl’s small hand and smiled at her. She gave the latter a reassuring smile, but a trace of worry flashed through her eyes.

She had been a genius. When she entered the Profound Sword Sect five years ago, she was already at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Although she was still half a step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm, she was already an inner sect disciple.

However, three years ago, an Elder Ma appeared out of thin air in the sect and assigned a mission to her. He promised to give her a Foundation Establishment Pill after the mission ended, allowing her to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After the mission ended, Elder Ma did give her a pill, but it wasn’t a real Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was because ever since Bai Weiwei took the pill, her cultivation progress had stopped, and her level began to drop.

This made her extremely anxious, but because there was no evidence to prove that it was Elder Ma’s doing, she could only swallow this bitter fruit.

Thus, right now, her cultivation strength was only at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

The decline in her strength also reduced her from an inner sect disciple to an outer sect disciple.

She knew that if the problem of her cultivation dropping was not solved, she would not be able to cultivate.

Bai Weiwei glanced at Ma Liang, who had joined the sect at the same time as she did, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart because she could no longer read Ma Liang’s cultivation level.

And she had also received a letter from her family recently.

The Earth Rock Sect and the White Bones Sect had joined forces to suppress the Bai Clan. Now, the pressure on her family was immense. She hoped that she could find a strong backer for her family in the Profound Sword Sect.

Thinking of this, Bai Weiwei felt extremely upset.

That was because even if she could cultivate, she would still be ridiculed and suppressed by Ma Liang in the outer sect. How could she find an elder to be her master?

She wasn’t as calm as she looked.

However, Bai Weiwei’s eyes lit up as she saw the four big words in front of her — the Sword Worship Assembly.

That’s right, this assembly was her life-saving straw.

As long as she could obtain the approval of an elder, all her problems would be solved.

Thus, she only said, “Scram!”

Ma Liang was stunned with disbelief. Then, the look in his eyes turned into mocking.

Ever since his cultivation strength had reached the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, no outer sect disciples had ever dared to question him. But now Bai Weiwei actually dared to contradict him.

Ma Liang released his aura of the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm without holding back.

The invisible aura suppressed Bai Weiwei until she couldn’t breathe.

“Ha, you piece of trash. Even the weakest elder of the sect wouldn’t spare you a look. You even f*cking dare to put on airs in front of me. Do you still think you’re a genius?”

The outer sect disciples felt Ma Liang’s aura and were shocked.

“Oh my God, this is the aura of the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm… could it be that the rumors about senior brother Ma are all true?”

“What rumors?”

“It says that Ma Liang is half a step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and he is now learning from Elder Ma. He has just been appointed as his personal disciple by the elder.”

“I’m really envious that he can learn from an elder. I’d be happy if I could be a servant disciple of an elder.”

…

Bai Weiwei felt strangled, but she had a strong will and wouldn’t show it.

Her gaze was firm as she gritted her teeth and moved forward.

When Ma Liang saw this, he knew that she was a stubborn woman. No matter how he suppressed her, she just wouldn’t give in.

He withdrew his aura and said indifferently, “Forget it. After I become the elder’s disciple, the Earth Rock Sect’s status in New Moon City will rise. Your Bai Clan will submit to us. When that time comes, let’s see how arrogant you are.”

Bai Weiwei was upset.

She had come out to study for years, but her strength had declined instead of rising. She had let her family down.

Instead of accompanying her parents as a good daughter, she had brought enemies to her family.

Her eyes were red, and her body was trembling. However, she controlled herself and held back her tears.

At this moment, several white-robed elders arrived following the sect master.

The once-in-a-decade Sword Worship Assembly of the Profound Sword Sect officially began!
