Chapter 1847 - 1847 The Storm Came Unexpectedly Fast!

“Seniors…”

Putting away the Sword Sect’s token from Elder Qu, Fang Qiu gave the hold fist salute to the three elders and said, “Goodbye, then.”

After that…

He turned around and went down the mountain.

Led by Wei Jian, he left Sword Sect.

…

“I hope Qingyun can hold the enemy back.”

After John Doe left, Elder Yuan sighed with emotion, “With his superior strength, Qingyun is indeed very suitable to replace John Doe and be the target. When Nirvana Saint Lord and First Guardian come, they should be attracted by his supernormal strength and potential.”

“Mm.”

Elder Qian nodded and said, “From now on, our principal task is to protect Qingyun instead of John Doe. We must do it well and not reveal any flaws.”

“What about John Doe?”

Elder Qu asked.

“He can only rely on himself.”

Elder Qian sighed softly and said, ” Nirvana members are all over the world. They will notice our unusual movements whether we protect John Doe on the surface or in the dark. Therefore, no matter what happens to John Doe in the future, we can only stand aloof and look on. No matter what, we can’t intervene in it. Otherwise, it will arouse Nirvana’s suspicion.”

“Okay.”

Elder Yuan nodded in agreement and said, “But John Doe has earned a considerable reputation in Wulin, so Nirvana must have noticed him long ago. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to divert Nirvana’s attention from John Doe. After all, they have inveterate hatred toward each other.”

“Well, we can only take one step and look around before taking another.”

Elder Qian nodded and said, “Send out the Wulin gathering order immediately. Gather all the Wulin talents in our Sword Sect and harden them. Nirvana won’t leave us much time, so let’s hurry up!”

Elder Yuan and Elder Qu nodded in agreement.

They would have to put in a huge cost.

Under the three elders’ command…

The Sword Sect issued the official call-up notice to take in the talents in Wulin!

“Protecting Huaxia Wulin has been the Sword Sect’s first priority for a hundred years. Although Wulin has been in peace for a hundred years, it has always been on the verge of crisis. Since we are responsible for keeping Huaxia Wulin in peace, we officially release this notice in Huaxia Wulin. All talented and intelligent Wulin talents can apply to enter the Sword Sect for intensive training!”

This notice…

The Sword Sect chose to post it on the Wulin online forum.

Soon, under the forum’s arrangement, this notice was placed on its front page in the most striking way. This way, every visitor to the Wulin online forum could see it.

Meanwhile…

As the present location of Wulin…

The Laozi Relic also formally published a talent-gathering announcement at the same time.

Through these two channels…

The called-up notice for the Sword Sect quickly spread throughout Wulin.

“Sword Sect?”

“Which kind of force is it? Why haven’t I ever heard of it?”

“Guarding Wulin for a hundred years? In that case, the Sword Sect has existed for a long time, but I haven’t heard any news about it. How is it possible?”

“Is it the top-level force protecting Huaxia Wulin in secret?”

“The Four Great Families and Pear Garden are the most powerful ones in Wulin Huaxia. How could the Sword Sect suddenly emerge?”

On the Wulin online forum…

Many middle-level and low-level people did not know about the existence of the Sword Sect.

Even in Laozi Relic, only those forces above the clouds and the heads of the eight factions and sixteen sects knew a little about the Sword Sect.

Those rogue cultivators didn’t know much about Wulin. That was why they were confused by the sudden emergence of the Sword Sect.

In Laozi Relic…

On the square under the clouds…

Many people gathered together and began to discuss it.

“Where does the Sword Sect come from?”

“Perhaps, it is the mysterious force above with an unknown name?”

“Do you mean the force with the guards of those relics?”

“They seem to have something to do with the Huaxia military.”

“The force has concealed itself for a hundred years. I’ve never heard of it. This force seems extraordinary.”

“They established a force above the clouds and kept its existence from all the others. How can such a force be fake?”

Unlike users of the Wulin online forum…

Those rogue cultivators in Laozi Relic had seen the unknown large-scale force above the clouds in these relics long ago. As such, they naturally connected the mysterious Sword Sect with this mysterious force.

Soon…

Before those men of insight stood out to explain…

The Wulin online forum released the Sword Sect’s introduction.

“Sword Sect: the number one force in Huaxia Wulin.”

“As the largest force in Huaxia Wulin, the Sword Sect has guarded Huaxia Wulin for hundreds of years. During the period, it keeps the peace of Huaxia Wulin.”

“Sword Sect was founded in the Pre-Qinn Dynasty. It still exists. In every dynasty, it was the most powerful force in Huaxia. Besides, it is the strongest force protecting Huaxia Wulin at present.”

“Even the Four Great Families and Pear Garden, top-notch forces in Wulin, can’t be compared with the Sword Sect!”

It was not a suspicious rumor from others but the authentic news on the Wulin online forum. Therefore, no one would doubt it.

Since even the Wulin online forum said so…

The Sword Sect was undoubtedly powerful.

When everyone was shocked by the mighty force, another piece of news stunned them all.

“Qingyun, the world’s top super expert at the SSS level, comes from the Sword Sect!”

When the news came out…

All the people in Huaxia Wulin were struck dumb.

In the past…

Everyone only heard of Qingyun in Huaxia Wulin. He ranked first on the World’s Individual Strength Ranking List and was known as Huaxia’s guardian angel.

To their astonishment…

Qingyun was from the Sword Sect!

All the masters in Wulin were deeply shocked as the news spread to them.

Well…

People might still doubt the Sword Sect’s strength before hearing the news. But when they knew Qingyun was from the Sword Sect, they sincerely admitted its superiority.

The Sword Sect could even train a super expert like Qingyun! Its stunning power was self-evident.

No wonder that over the years…

Huaxia Wulin had been at peace.

Under the protection of such a powerful force, how could it not stay in peace?

Everyone in Wulin was still in shock after Sword Sect’s sudden appearance.

Their attention in Wulin was immediately diverted to the Wulin talent-gathering notice issued by the Sword Sect.

To be honest…

In the beginning…

Masters in Wulin didn’t take the notice seriously.

After all, there was the Laozi Relic.

The Laozi Relic was the most beneficial place for martial arts practitioners to cultivate. Since they had the Laozi Relic, why should they go to the Sword Sect, an unknown cultivating location?”

These people in the Laozi Relic thought so. As for those who were not there, they didn’t need such a place at all.

There was such a group of people in the world.

They were martial arts practitioners with no high expectations of improving their strength. They practiced martial arts only to defend themselves against violence. Even the free and open Laozi Relic was not attractive to them. Compared with their normal lives and families, cultivation was not worth mentioning.

It was even more unlikely for these people to give attention to the Sword Sect’s call-up notice in Wulin.

However…

As everyone learned more about the Sword Sect…

This call-up notice finally became the focus of these people in Wulin.

They couldn’t help getting excited when hearing the news: Qingyun, the first on the World’s Individual Strength Ranking List, was trained by the Sword Sect.

This force fostered the world’s No. 1 expert. For most people in Wulin, such a force was a fatal attraction!

In this world…

Who didn’t want to be No. 2 in the world?

Who didn’t want to become as matchless as Qingyun?

Everyone would like to obtain such achievements.

Therefore, both talented and slow-witted ones began to strive for a way to sign up. They all wanted to get the opportunity to temper themselves in the Sword Sect.

There was the Laozi Relic and the speed-up technique John Doe left in it. Even so, everyone was still very enthusiastic about the news.

As many questions about application methods emerged, they caused quite a stir on the Wulin online forum.

As for the Sword Sect…

They immediately added some information.

“The Sword Sect can only take in a limited number of people. This time, we want to gather talents in Wulin. The Sword Sect, therefore, will collect those of outstanding abilities in the Laozi Relic’s central square.”

“Anyone interested in this can sign up in the Laozi Relic’s central square!”

The statement was released.

The Sword Sect acted fast.

A message was sent to the Laozi Relic.

Immediately, its people above the clouds in the Laozi Relic were sent to the square under the clouds. They were responsible for the registration and selection process.

Beyond all this…

As the Sword Sect sent out the message…

For a time, the whole Wulin was in turmoil.

All the major families felt a storm coming.

In the Laozi Relic…

The four patriarchs, Master Numinous and Meng Lingyun, the deputy chief of the Pear Garden were sitting under a pear tree in the new pear garden.

The six people looked at each other while drinking Heaven Dew.

“Sure enough.”

Patriarch Qian took a gentle breath, saying, “Since the day John Doe rose to power, I’ve had a feeling that a storm is coming. Now this storm is on the way.”

“According to the Sword Sect’s talent-gathering order, everything should be done for Huaxia Wulin’s stability.”

Diwu Mingchuan took a deep breath and said, “As the leading forces and role models in Wulin over the years, we should fulfill our missions and responsibilities. It’s time for the world to let the world truly understand our value.”

“It’s our duty to protect Wulin.”

Xi Fengling echoed.

“Wulin is our home.”

Elder Zhan took a big sip and said, “We have been stable for many years. It’s time to stand up.”

“I didn’t expect the violent storm to come so soon.”

Meng Lingyun shook his head and said with a sigh, “Disasters always come as a surprise.”

“It has come. Since we can’t escape, we should face up to it.”

Master Numinous smiled, “Everyone, from today on, let’s prepare for the war. It’s still unknown when the war will come. But I hope that after the time of troubles, every one of us can still talk about world affairs here in the fragrance of Heaven Dew!”
