Chapter 348: Chapter 242: The Truth of Origin! Boundless Imperial Will!_2
"Sword Emperor’s legacy? A thief?"
Su Changqing heard this and laughed angrily, saying, "Is your Celestial Sword worthy of coveting the Sword Emperor?"
Ximen Qingjun heard this, sneered, and once again activated that ancient jade slip.
"The Sword Emperor, the emperor amongst swords, commands all directions, dominating the universe..."
"..."
"Back then, my Celestial Sword predecessors, by a stroke of luck, claimed the title of Emperor, one sword strike..."
A scene from not long ago resurfaced, the inscribed Dao patterns lingered in the void, refusing to dissipate.
The sword cultivators observing shook their heads at the sight.
The Celestial Sword has evidence; this matter leaves no room for reversal.
Su Changqing brought up the topic again, merely adding salt to the wound.
Indeed.
At this moment, the Su family and the people of Sword Pavilion, looking at the Dao symbols in the void, all had somber expressions and remained silent.
They wanted to explain, but in the face of ironclad evidence, felt utterly powerless.
However.
Su Changqing saw this and chuckled, "Is this your evidence?"
"What? Not enough?" Ximen Qingjun sneered.
"Of course, it’s not enough!"
Su Changqing pointed at the Dao symbols in the void and sternly said, "If there’s a record, why not reveal it all?"
"That involves the secrets of my Celestial Sword, of course, it can’t..."
Ximen Qingjun’s expression turned unnatural, ready to explain.
But Su Changqing interrupted loudly, "Can’t or don’t dare?"
"The Sword Emperor’s intent is your Celestial Sword’s legacy, did your Celestial Sword’s ancestor ever feel ashamed?"
He pointed to the floating Dao symbols and shouted:
"In ancient times, indeed the lineage of the Sword Emperor had some connections with your Celestial Sword."
"But those connections were life-and-death enemies! Mortal foes!"
This statement caused an uproar among everyone present.
Nobody expected such matters to exist in this.
"You’re talking nonsense!"
Ximen Qingjun was visibly flustered, "How could my Celestial Sword..."
"Nonsense?"
Su Changqing’s momentum was fierce, and he shouted, "Dare you release the complete record!"
"Why is ’One sword strike...’ cut off at this point?"
"Whom did it strike, and who wielded it? Do you dare to say!"
Before Ximen Qingjun could speak, Su Changqing laughed in anger and said:
"Because the one who struck that sword was the newly ascended Great Emperor from the Celestial Sword! And the target was the Sword Emperor’s sect!"
"The Celestial Sword coveted the Sword Emperor’s legacy, demanded it upon ascending to the throne, but was verbally rejected!"
"Denied, the Celestial Sword eradicated countless lives of the Sword Emperor’s sect with one sword strike! Annihilated the lineage of the Sword Emperor!"
"Only after endless ages did it reemerge with this generation!"
With a pause in his speech, Su Changqing looked at the people of the Celestial Sword and shook his head with a mocking smile:
"Destroy sects, terminate legacies, obliterate bloodlines!"
"This is what you call connections!"
Having fused with the Sword Emperor’s entire legacy, Su Changqing naturally understood the inherited hatred that spanned countless years!
The Celestial Sword and the Sword Emperor had always been mortal enemies.
Su Changqing’s voice, filled with anger, echoed through the heavens and earth, causing everyone present to clamor.
"It... it was like this? The Sword Emperor is not the Celestial Sword’s legacy, but its enemy?"
"This... I can’t understand it either, ancient matters are too distant."
"Unless the Celestial Sword puts all records on display, any lie would be obvious..."
The once loud crowd was now hesitant.
After all, Su Changqing spoke with reason and evidence.
Moreover, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Celestial Sword, they just needed to release the rest of the records.
But does the Celestial Sword dare?
Of course, they don’t dare!
"Second brother..."
Ximen Qingjun was utterly panicked, seeking help from Ximen Langge.
"It’s just your one-sided story."
Ximen Langge’s face turned slightly cold, "How could our clan’s records be viewed on your whim?"
"If you have evidence, feel free to present it, there’s no need for verbal jabs!"
Su Changqing smiled at this, calmly saying, "You will see the evidence."
He pointed to Er Niu, "Release this person, and I will go with you, how about it?"
If not for Er Niu’s life being in others’ hands, Su Changqing would have drawn his sword straightaway.
Now he was acting with caution, only by ensuring Er Niu’s safety could he act without hesitation!
"You seem to have no choice."
Ximen Langge squinted and said.
"Then go ahead and kill."
Su Changqing’s face turned icy, "Except for a corpse, you won’t gain anything."
Su Changqing’s firmness made Ximen Langge frown slightly.
"Second brother, how about a duel?"
At this moment, Ximen Qingjun excitedly said, "A duel with Su Changqing; if he wins, we release Su Mingyu."
He gave Ximen Langge a meaningful glance.
This was the best course of action now.
They could forcibly capture Su Changqing during the duel, while also providing the opponent an opportunity.
Ximen Langge nodded, indeed, this was a good plan.
But deciding who to send was a tricky matter.
Su Changqing’s cultivation wasn’t high, but his Sword Dao achievements weren’t weak, clearly not a match for Qingjun.
Sending a King-level sword cultivator, when Su Changqing is only at the Divine Spirit level, how could he participate?
"Don’t even think about it."
Su Changqing glanced at the two and said, "Both of you, come at me together."
With this, before Ximen Langge and others could react, Ye Zhu became anxious.
Ximen Qingjun, temporarily aside, was only at the Divine Spirit level.
But Ximen Langge was at the peak of four realms, with extremely strong accomplishments in Sword Dao.
On Sword God Mountain, though cultivation wasn’t prioritized, profound Sword Dao was.
But clearly, the higher the realm, the deeper the understanding of Sword Dao.
Moreover, Ximen Langge was a top prodigy in Sword Dao, his achievements in it far surpassed his own realm.
Even a King-level sword cultivator might not be his opponent.
Only a mere Divine Spirit level like Chang Qing, even with high Sword Dao realm, could he surpass the King realm?
"Chang Qing, you..."
With this thought, Ye Zhu wanted to step forward and pull Chang Qing back.
