1201: 839 Xu 1201: 839 Xu As soon as Jiang Chen spoke, a hint of unnatural expression flashed across Xuan’s face, but it quickly disappeared.
To leave seclusion, one had to obtain the approval of Fire Cloud Cave, which clearly indicated a problem.
Normal people didn’t receive this kind of treatnt — they could leave seclusion whenever they wanted.
Normal people didn’t receive this kind of treatnt, but Xuan was not a normal person, ah.
He was soone very special, so he naturally attracted special attention from Fire Cloud Cave.
He was commanded by the Human Race to seclude himself and remain isolated, disregarding the facts.
Yes, Xuan’s seclusion was compulsory.
Although he was the master of the Martial Hall, in reality, he had no power left in the Martial Hall.
In a sense, Xuan’s seclusion was the High-level Human Race’s form of house arrest on him.
Why was this so?
Naturally, because this fellow was not only keen on becoming the dog of the Mystic Sect, but he also wanted to lead the entire Human Race to beco the dogs of the Mystic Sect.
Such an act of betrayal undoubtedly angered the Human Race’s top echelons, so they forcefully commanded him to go into seclusion, which was essentially placing him under house arrest.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Xuan’s extraordinary identity, he would have t with an accident a long ti ago.
As for why Xuan was determined to serve the Mystic Sect, even willing to give up his noble position among the Human Race for that, Jiang Chen still understood him.
The reason was simple, ah.
Everything he had today was given to him by the Mystic Sect.
That he could beco an Innate Dao Sovereign within one hundred thousand years, and a Quasi-Saint within one million years, was all due to the Mystic Sect’s covert support.
Otherwise, how could Xuan, a re ordinary Human Race being, rise so quickly?
No matter how good one’s talent is, there is a limit.
The Human Race’s upper limit is set; one’s talent can’t surpass that of Innate Divine Demons, much less compare to Innate Saints.
To rise rapidly, without a huge accumulation of resources, it’s simply impossible.
All of Xuan’s achievents were given by the Mystic Sect.
How could he not give his life for them?
He had no choice.
Many people understood his choice, but understanding is understanding — when it cos to stance, one cannot be swayed.
Since he hard the interests of the Human Race, they couldn’t be blad for being ruthless with him.
It’s a matter of stance; there is no right or wrong.
A hero to , an enemy to another, that’s how it is.
As for why, unlike other figures supported by the Mystic Sect, the master of the Law Hall could hold high authority and live a carefree life, while Xuan, the master of the Martial Hall, ended up under a form of house arrest by the Human Race — it’s simply because the master of the Martial Hall was too impatient, and the Human Race’s top echelons caught him by his Achilles’ heel.
The master of the Law Hall, under the guise of keeping a low profile and gathering strength, secretly undermined the power of the Human Race, which was hard to take hold of, because his banner was indeed proper; keeping a low profile and gathering strength was indeed a good strategy.
Xuan, on the other hand, was different.
He perford well initially and didn’t show any flaws, truly becoming a pillar of strength for the Human Race.
However, after he beca the master of the Martial Hall, due to his overly eager actions, he exposed his true intentions.
Xuan was elected as the master of the Martial Hall by the collective martial artists of the Human Race; his prestige was quite high.
At that ti, one could say that the Martial Hall was under his sole command.
Thus, he gradually beca arrogant.
Not long after becoming the master of the Martial Hall, he began to secretly cultivate his confidants, passing on to them the path of the Human Immortal, in an attempt to transform martial practice into the path of the Immortal.
All I can say is that Xuan truly got carried away.
The ancestor of Martial Dao wasn’t dead yet; you began to undermine the foundation of Martial Dao, treating Jiang Xuan as deaf and blind, thinking he would sense nothing, right?
Xuan’s plan to transform martial practice into the path of the Immortal hadn’t been going for long before Jiang Xuan beca aware of it.
And then, there was no turning back.
The Human Race’s Quasi-Saints all ca to the Martial Hall, and with several treasures of the Human Race, they forcefully commanded the Martial Hall master Xuan to seclude himself and not leave, effectively placing him under house arrest.
Afterward, they launched a thorough purge of the Martial Hall, and all martial artists practicing the path of the Human Immortal were cleaned out.
“My affairs need not trouble the Human King; after this matter is resolved, I will explain the reasons to Fire Cloud Cave myself.
I have co here today only to discuss the matter of oppression against our people.”
“It’s just killing when it cos to beings of other races, but how could you go so far as to strike ruthlessly against your own people?”
“Is the Human King aware, at the whim of your thought, how many of our Human Race’s masters died tragically, how many of our people lost their loved ones, how many families lost their mainstays?”
Xuan said to Jiang Chen impassively, his tone filled with sorrow and anger.
Sneaking out during house arrest was no small matter, especially given his sensitive status.
Most likely, after this affair, his “seclusion place” would move from his own dwelling to Fire Cloud Cave.
That is to say, once he entered Fire Cloud Cave, he might never co out again, turning his house arrest into actual imprisonnt.
Therefore, he had emphatically stressed that it was Jiang Chen who had first committed an unjust act so intolerable that even he, who was under house arrest, could not sit by without intervening to put a stop to Jiang Chen’s cruel actions.
Xu tried to make his actions appear more just, so as to weaken the culpability attached to him.
After all, he was technically under house arrest, but officially, he was said to be in secluded cultivation.
Since it was a seclusion, wouldn’t his ergence be seen as normal?
“Enough, hall master!”
“Am I the Human King, or are you the Human King?
I don’t need you to teach how to govern the Human Race.
If you think I’m mistreating our people, that’s also an easy matter to resolve.
Fire Cloud Cave is beyond the heavens, and all the emperors are in there, in seclusion.
You can completely take this matter before them to accuse !”
“As long as you can bring forth a Three Emperors’ Decree or a Five Emperors’ Decree, then you can deal with however you please.”
Jiang Chen had anticipated this scene and rebutted without any courtesy.
At the ti of the killings, he knew that there would certainly be so within the Human Race who would use this event to accuse him, but Jiang Chen did not expect that this person would be the Hall Master of the Martial Dao, Xu.
However, it didn’t matter who it was; they would not affect the overall situation.
In the grand sche of things, he was in the right.
For a Human King to kill a few disobedient mbers to establish authority was justifiable—even if the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were to co, they could only praise Jiang Chen’s actions, not criticize him.
Thus, Jiang Chen displayed extre arrogance.
If you do not agree, go to Fire Cloud Cave and report .
If you can win, then you are indeed formidable.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot.
With your current status, hall master, you’re probably too afraid to go to Fire Cloud Cave.”
Not waiting for the Martial Hall Master to respond, Jiang Chen suddenly acted as if he had realized sothing, and added another sentence with a smile.
This statent was highly interesting.
As a high-ranking mber of the Human Race with nothing to hide, why would there be any fear of going to Fire Cloud Cave?
Jiang Chen’s words were practically an accusation that Xu’s stance was problematic.
“You…”
In an instant, Xu’s face changed color, and he pointed at Jiang Chen and scolded, “In ancient tis, I saw many Human Kings, but I’ve never seen one as presumptuous as you.
Do you really think that just because you’re the Human King, I can’t do anything to you?”
“A Human King governs the world with virtue.
A tyrannical ruler like you is destined not to last long.
To prevent you from causing chaos among the Human Race, I should apprehend you and bring you back to Fire Cloud Cave to await the judgent of the emperors.”
Xu knew that his status was problematic, and that many of his words didn’t stand on solid footing against Jiang Chen, so he decided not to waste more words and prepared to take direct action instead.
Although his cultivation was at the later stages of a Quasi-Saint, he was endowed with the Fate of the Martial Dao and a portion of the Human Race’s Fate.
His combat strength couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards, and it was not certain that he would lose to Jiang Chen.
“Right, what Xu Dao-Friend has said is not wrong.
Jiang Chen, you are a tyrant.
Now, many of our clansn have already arrived at the Ancestral Land to denounce you…”
The Hall Master of the Law Sect appeared tily, intending to join hands with the Hall Master of the Martial Dao to first apprehend Jiang Chen.
As long as they captured Jiang Chen, they could turn their passive situation into an active one, and with control regained, the rest would be much easier to handle.
“Hmm?”
“There are still people who dare to accuse ?”
“I let them off without punishnt, and that was already showing rcy.
They not only fail to appreciate that, they even dare to accuse ?
It’s truly seeking death.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised by the arrival of the Law Hall Master, but the news he brought was a shock.
He really hadn’t expected those noble families to be bold enough to accuse him?
What defines committing treason or seeking death?
This was it!
