Chapter 314: Elder Seven’s Dominance
"Two Divine Talismans? How utterly disappointing!"
No one expected Su Hao to utter such words. Divine Talismans were incredibly rare treasures, cherished even by the Jin Kingdom’s royal family. For the Heavenly Sword Sect to possess two was astonishing—yet Su Hao dismissed them with contempt.
Elder Shi’s revelation of the two talismans shocked everyone. Even Du Chuntian’s calm facade cracked momentarily, his pupils contracting before he regained composure.
Su Hao stood motionless, a mocking smile on his lips. "Come then. Let’s see what your precious talismans can do." His azure sword hummed sharply.
Ouyang Wentian materialized before him, voice seething. "Su Hao! Your arrogance ends now!"
"We were once friends," Su Hao sighed, shaking his head. "Yet you let the Sect Leader position corrupt your cultivation path. Power fades—only true strength endures."
"Spare me your lectures!" Ouyang Wentian spat. "If you cared so much about the Dao, why cling to power? Why refuse to sacrifice your daughter?"
Su Hao’s laughter rang cold. "You’ve truly lost your way. Let me show you the gap between us."
Chen Tianyun slithered forward, venom dripping from his words. "Your daughter’s Demon Race Bloodline proves your wife’s tainted heritage! Two humans can’t spawn a demon!"
"Your death warrant is signed, Chen Tianyun," Su Hao growled, murderous aura swirling.
Elder Shi’s talismans glowed ominously above him. "Shui Qingxuan’s ability to see through Golden Core stage warriors’ secrets—unnatural for someone with blocked meridians."
Du Chuntian yawned theatrically. "At least some in Heavenly Sword Sect possess sense."
The crowd surged like hungry wolves. "Explain the Demon Race Bloodline!" Duan Yunsha demanded. Sun Yidao’s grating voice added, "Your wife’s suspicious nature can’t be ignored!"
Elder Yin’s cane thumped. "We need answers, Shadowless Peak Leader!"
Su Hao stood isolated, the mob’s chants echoing—until cracking laughter shattered the tension.
"Answers? From who? You maggots?"
All turned as Elder Seven shuffled in, trailing Ye Yun and the others. His patched robe fluttered comically, belying the storm in his eyes.
"Mom!" Su Ling hurtled into Shui Qingxuan’s arms, tears soaking her mother’s sleeve. "They say we’re monsters!"
Shui Qingxuan smoothed her daughter’s hair. "Words only wound if you let them."
Elder Seven cackled. "Well said! Humans often out-monster actual demons!"
Su Hao bowed slightly. "Elder Seven."
The old man waved him off, rounding on the assembly. "Listen well, you pompous turds! The real plague here? Your self-righteousness! Scram now or taste my wrath!"
Elder Shi’s face purpled. "You overstep, Old Seven!"
"Silence, Shi Zhengrong!" The elder jabbed a bony finger at Yan Changchun. "And you! Letting ‘a sword comes from the west’ panic you? Pathetic! Resign today—Su Hao’s more fit to lead!"
Chaos erupted. Yan Changchun’s voice cut through the din. "You dare question my leadership?"
"I’d beat sense into you if I didn’t know your game." Elder Seven’s gaze locked on Du Chuntian. "Well? Has the western sword arrived?"
