Chapter 557: The Penetration of the Sword Qi Great Wall and the Talents from the Savage Wilderness

Listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Hu couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly.

After all, it was every parent’s wish to see their child excel.

“My daughter is simple-minded. In the future, please guide her more.”

“Rather than worrying about your daughter, you should worry about yourself. Your daughter has at least done her part, whereas you have not.”

“I ask you, as the general guarding the Sword Qi Great Wall, what is your duty?”

“To resist the Savage Wilderness!”

“Wrong!”

Chen Changsheng turned to look at Ma Hu and said, “Your greatest duty is not to resist the Savage Wilderness, but to control it.”

“If we wanted to eliminate the Savage Wilderness, it wouldn’t have waited until now; I could have had it eradicated back then.”

“We stayed here to provide a place for young people to hone their skills.”

“Look at those talented prodigies. None of them who can shoulder great responsibilities have not been tempered in the Sword Qi Great Wall.”

“Let’s not go too far. Take your daughter as an example.”

“Although she is now an Immortal King, in terms of courage, ambition, methods, and even strength, your daughter surpasses what you were capable of in the past.”

“This is because you were in the Nine Domains at that time. The Nine Domains were like a huge greenhouse, and you were flowers in that greenhouse.”

“The future achievements of these children depend on themselves and their fate, their opportunities.”

“Although the future is uncertain, their starting point is excellent.”

“Thanks to the effect of [the context-specific term], the Sword Qi Great Wall played an indispensable role.”

“Therefore, your duty is not to eliminate or resist the Savage Wilderness, but to control its development.”

“Only by keeping the Savage Wilderness within a suitable limit can the young people of the Eight Desolates and the Nine Domains receive continuous tempering.”

After listening, Ma Hu lowered his head and said, “Madam’s words have enlightened me. Reflecting on my previous decisions, I am ashamed.”

“It’s good to know shame; one must be brave after knowing shame.”

“The two Immortal Sovereigns came through the path of the Netherworld. The Netherworld has existed for a long time in the Eight Desolates, and there are some secrets known only to them, which is understandable.”

“The real problem lies in the recent battle.”

“Although the battle here was shielded, I leaked a hint of my aura.”

“It’s hard to say for lower-level cultivators, but cultivators above the Immortal Sovereign Realm would definitely feel it.”

“A vast Sword Qi Great Wall, yet only you, Ma Hu, came forward. Don’t you find this a bit suspicious?”

Hearing this, cold sweat instantly flowed down Ma Hu’s forehead.

“Madam, do you mean that the Sword Qi Great Wall has already been thoroughly penetrated?”

“Not entirely,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “The Sword Qi Great Wall cannot be fully penetrated by the Savage Wilderness.”

“Moreover, you’re not an idiot. If you couldn’t detect such thorough penetration, you really deserve to d*e.”

“Based on the current situation, the high-ranking officials of the Sword Qi Great Wall should have been partially infiltrated, otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

After hearing Chen Changsheng’s speculation, Ma Hu thought for a moment and said, “Madam, could it be the Reincarnation sect?”

“After all, the secrets of the Netherworld are known only to them.”

“It’s not them. They might cause some minor disturbances, such as revealing a few secrets to the Savage Wilderness.”

“Fu Yao left, and with no one from the Reincarnation sect in charge, they might cause some trouble. But they don’t have the guts to confront the Heavenly Court, let alone scheme something major.”

“If I’m not mistaken, all the schemes are the means of the Savage Wilderness themselves.”

In the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Without Chen Changsheng and Ma Hu, the atmosphere between Xu Yao and the others became awkward again.

With Xu Yao’s intelligence, she had long noticed that Jian Fei and Ma Ling’er knew each other, and from Jian Fei’s state, it seemed they had some unpleasant experiences.

But the current issue was that Jian Fei had come to their aid, and she couldn’t refuse this favor.

On one side was her close friend, on the other side was the knight in shining armor who saved them, leaving Xu Yao caught in the middle, feeling the pressure from both sides.

Just as Xu Yao was thinking about how to ease the awkwardness, the lazy and lethargic voice rang out again.

“Sorry, General Ma sent me off course a little. My sense of direction is poor, so I got lost.”

“Please don’t laugh at me.”

Seeing Chen Changsheng arrive, Xu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “No problem, we just arrived as well.”

“Brother Chen and company, I assume you’re here for the Sword Cultivator Conference?”

“Yes, but we are from small places and haven’t seen much of the world.”

“We are truly unfamiliar with the Sword Qi Great Wall. Perhaps Miss Xu could show us around?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao nodded, “No problem, I spent ten years in the Sword Qi Great Wall.”

“While I may not know it inside out, I know most of it.”

“Indeed, then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Xu.”

Xu Yao led Chen Changsheng and the others to tour the Sword Qi Great Wall, but before they had gone very far, a group suddenly blocked their path.

Seeing this group, Xu Yao nervously hid behind Ma Ling’er.
