Chapter 153: Diary, I came as quietly as I left!
Purple Origin Celestial Mansion, Nine Heavens Sword Sect.
In the main hall.
The sect leader, Qin Jian, with a cold expression and a voice full of killing intent, said in the hall:
“Once you finish reading the diary, go and exterminate the Xuanqing Sect!”
As soon as he spoke, the elders of the sword sect all had some hesitation in their expressions, looking as if they wanted to speak but held back.
Ultimately, their eyes turned towards Grand Elder Xue Tang.
Xue Tang, with white hair and beard, looked like an immortal, and he bowed his hand and said, “Sect Leader, the Xuanqing Sect holds a special status; after all, it was once the sect where the Desolate Heaven Emperor resided…”
“Isn’t it too conspicuous for us to act now?”
Qin Jian’s face darkened, and he snorted coldly, thinking to himself, “The Desolate Heaven Emperor left fake secret techniques, and now I’m the one suffering, and I can’t even retaliate?”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He shouted at everyone, “Desolate Heaven Emperor? I’m going to beat him to a pulp!”
“Eliminating the Xuanqing Sect is just like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!”
Qin Jian had already made up his mind to vent his anger, and it wasn’t purely out of a sense of honor.
Shen Tu Lie from the bl**d Lotus Celestial Mansion had approached him a few days ago.
He hinted that if he could take action against either the Nine States Immortal Alliance or the Xuanqing Sect, he would support him becoming the ruler of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion.
The Purple Origin Celestial Mansion was the most power-distributed realm, with six mansion lords.
This situation had been established over tens of thousands of years and had never changed.
No one had the strength to alter the status quo.
Qin Jian was also an ambitious person, feeling this might be an opportunity.
“If it works!”
“I’ll be the Immortal Lord of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion. Who would dare to gossip behind my back?”
Qin Jian thought fiercely to himself.
The hall fell silent.
Grand Elder Xue Tang lowered his gaze, sighing inwardly. Since the sect leader had decided, there was nothing left to say.
In their eyes, the Xuanqing Sect could be destroyed with a snap of their fingers.
It was merely a small sect in the Nine States, and the sword sect could easily send some people to eliminate them.
Grand Elder Xue Tang began to think secretly about how to find an excuse to destroy the Xuanqing Sect.
“If the Desolate Heaven Emperor intervenes, we can find another reason to stop. Conversely, if he doesn’t intervene, it means he isn’t concerned about this sect.”
“In any case, he shouldn’t blame the entire Nine Heavens Sword Sect for this.”
Grand Elder Xue Tang thought to himself, no longer insisting.
Regardless of the outcome, the sword sect wouldn’t suffer much. Let the sect leader vent his anger.
At this moment, the projection screen in the hall flickered.
The diary was about to update.
Now, various celestial mansions and forces had set up projection arrays to make reading the diary more convenient.
Qin Jian took a deep breath, looking at the screen, and the anger that had just subsided flared up again.
Last time, it was because of this diary that he felt so humiliated.
On the screen, lines of text slowly appeared…
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 57:
[With the secret technique from the Ancestral Palace’s Sea of Qi, staying in the Nine Heavens Sword Sect has lost its meaning.]
[I plan to k*ll directly.]
[After all, I am only an outer disciple sent to the Sword Mountain. Even if I disappear, the sect will only think I’ve left, and no one will care.]
[Unfortunately, I have carefully studied it, and the secret technique of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect has significant flaws and cannot be cultivated.]
[However, it made me realize that opening the ancestral palace’s hidden treasures is indeed powerful, capable of unlocking the infinite potential of the body.]
[After some time passed.]
[I came to k*ll directly, but just before doing so, I suddenly felt a bit guilty.]
[I’ve been undercover for so long and haven’t gained anything!]
[If I just k*ll, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?]
[Since infiltrating the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, I’ve discovered many secrets about this sect, not insignificant matters.]
[For example, they colluded with the Seven Stars Tower to heavily exploit another of the six mansion lords, the Xiao family, by taking their gains in the ancient secret realm for themselves.]
[Later, they colluded with the Seven Stars Tower again, ambushing the Purple Garment Sect and framing the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, leading to several intense battles.]
[More importantly!]
[Old Qin Jian, to cultivate a bl**d Spirit Flower, secretly killed countless cultivators to offer their bl**d and qi, allowing the flower to grow rapidly.]
[I became angrier…]
[As a righteous and justice-driven cultivator, I can’t stand idly by in such situations!]
[I decide to punish him, confiscating the bl**d Spirit Flower, and also seizing the medicinal herbs in the spirit garden.]
[Anyway, I’ve crafted a few masks. Ha ha ha, put on a mask, and act, after each job, change identities, so I don’t need to worry about being found out.]
[I prepared the plan…]
[On the day of the operation, I wore the rat mask from the Twelve Zodiac Set, left the Sword Mountain, and sneaked into the spirit garden.]
[The spirit garden is not like the Sword Mountain, with strict defenses, not less than three elders guarding!]
[But I’m not afraid because I represent justice!]
[Who dares to intrude into the Nine Heavens Sword Sect? Such audacity, risking your life…]
[These were the words of the elder who jumped out when I entered the spirit garden, very cliché, with no innovation!]
[I didn’t hesitate, attacked immediately, and within a few breaths, I dispatched this elder. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t even see what he looked like before killing him.]
[Not a trace left.]
[Without stopping, I knew any slight movement would attract the powerful forces of the sword sect. After taking the bl**d Spirit Flower, I casually picked many other medicinal herbs.]
[Destroyed those I couldn’t carry away.]
[Soon after, Qin Jian led a group of sword sect elders, seeing their painstakingly cultivated bl**d Spirit Flower and ruined garden…]
[Ah!]
[Another round of clichéd dialogue, saying things like, no matter who you are, today you’ll be skinned alive, souls extracted, and torn to pieces.]
[A dull battle, details omitted.]
[Result…]
[The result is I left, and they don’t even know who I am.]
[In reality, fierce talk during combat changes nothing. The villain dies from talking too much; it makes sense.]
[I slipped back to the Sword Mountain. The next day, I left after having breakfast at the sect.]
[I left as quietly as I came.]
[That day, the sect was in chaos, with all the elders and peak masters mobilized, searching for someone called ‘Emperor Rat’.]
[Haha, even if they rack their brains, they won’t figure out I was right under their noses.]
[Alright, I’ll write here for today!]
This diary entry ends here. It’s quite long and rich in content.
Whether they were Nine States cultivators or cultivators from various celestial mansions, they were all stunned after reading.
If the contents of this diary were true, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect was in trouble!
“Haha, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is doomed!”
“Their collusion with the Seven Stars Tower, exploiting the Xiao family, and ambushing the Purple Garment Sect, these two points alone are enough to bring them down.”
“Yes! I remember now, about three thousand years ago, the Purple Garment Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect did indeed engage in several major battles, causing great unrest!”
“It seems it’s true!”
“It’s likely genuine. This is a personal diary of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, which was never meant for others to read. It was accidentally exposed, how could it be a trap for the Nine Heavens Sword Sect?”
“Hmph! This treacherous sect, I’ve always said the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is not a good thing…”
“Hehe, the Desolate Heaven Emperor severely punished them, it’s truly satisfying, representing justice!”
“The Desolate Heaven Emperor’s tactic of hiding in the shadows is indeed very cunning.”
In an instant, the Nine States and various celestial mansions were in an uproar.
Among them, the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion was the most affected. The content of this diary involved several factions within the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion.
Including the Xiao family, the Purple Garment Sect, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, all of which were among the six mansion lords, with vast power.
Adding to the mix were the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Seven Stars Tower.
It could be said that the entire Purple Origin Celestial Mansion was about to experience a massive earthquake.
Nine Heavens Sword Sect.
In the main hall.
After finishing reading the diary, Qin Jian and the various elders remained motionless, still in their original positions.
Their eyes, red with rage, stared at the diary’s content.
A chilling atmosphere silently enveloped everyone.
It then swept across the entire Nine Heavens Sword Sect.
After a long while.
Sect Leader Qin Jian was the first to regain his senses. His breathing was rapid, and his whole body trembled slightly.
He struggled to utter two words:
“It’s over!”
