C931 Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect was currently developing and rising, so it was not suitable for them to confront the other sects head on.
Otherwise, it would be very easy for the Heavenly Sword Sect's vitality to be greatly damaged, and the foundation of the Heavenly Sword Sect that had lasted for more than a thousand years would be destroyed.
Moreover, the most important thing was that even if a sect war really started, it shouldn't be started by him, the Great Elder!
However, forbearance would only bring more bullying. The Dark Heaven Sect's Sect Master, Lin Xu, had perfectly verified this statement.
As the Sect Master of the Dark Heaven Sect, Lin Xu really wanted to obtain the Dragon Vein Heavenly Dragon Peak, which would allow the entire sect to prosper. Therefore, out of all the sects, the Dark Heaven Sect that he led was the one who provoked the Heavenly Sword Sect the most.
In just half a year, he had used all kinds of unreasonable excuses to provoke the Heavenly Sword Sect ten times. Unfortunately, every time, he was cleverly resolved by Guu Yuan, so he could only retreat with hatred.
However, the opportunity would always come as long as he waited!
One day, the experts of the Dark Heaven Sect started a fight with a female disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. They even planned to force their way into the fight. Coincidentally, the son of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Great Elder, Guu Yuan, Guu Ling, bumped into them.
In the past six months, there had been many incidents that happened in the Dark Heaven Sect. Guu Ling had been holding in his anger for a long time. When he saw the disciples of the Dark Heaven Sect, he was surprised that they dared to do such a thing.
In a moment of impulse and anger, he killed the disciple of the Dark Heaven Sect and vented his anger.
When he found out that an expert of the Dark Heaven Sect had been killed, the Sect Master of the Dark Heaven Sect, Lin Xu, was not angry. Instead, he was happy.
Because he had finally found an excuse for the Dark Heaven Sect to launch a large-scale attack, he immediately led all the experts of the Dark Heaven Sect and rushed towards the Heavenly Sword Sect with a great momentum.
In the Heavenly Sword Great Hall, a few Core Experts and a few elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were present. Only one of them was kneeling on the ground.
It was Guu Yuan.
"Ling'er!" The one who shouted angrily was the Great Elder, Guu Yuan, who was also Guu Ling's father.
"How many times have I told you? No matter how anxious you are, no matter how angry you are, you must never do anything to the people of other sects. But what did you do? How did you kill them with just one sword strike?"
Guu Ling admitted that he was right and said, "Dad, it's the Dark Heaven Sect who went too far. In the past, it was just a casual provocation.
But this time, that bastard has already decided to rape the female disciples of our Heavenly Sword Sect. How can I tolerate that? How can I let that bastard go? "
"You are making a big loss out of a small matter!" Guu Yuan said anxiously.
"Our Heavenly Sword Sect is currently developing. During this period of time, it is not suitable for us to fight with other big sects. Only by temporarily enduring the humiliation and continuing to increase our strength will we be able to soar into the sky.
Let our Heavenly Sword Sect rise once again in this Heavenly Dome Continent. However, you have killed an expert of the Dark Heaven Sect with a single sword strike. Right now, the Sect Master of the Dark Heaven Sect has brought a large group of men and horses here. It's very likely that we won't be able to settle this easily!"
" So what if this matter can't be resolved?! " Guu Ling said in high spirits, "Dad, back then, our Heavenly Sword Sect was the number one sect in the continent..."
"You know that it was in the past, but now, it is no longer in the past. We need time to recover to our former strength, and we can't allow large-scale sects to kill each other!"
"Dad, you are wrong about that." Guu Ling continued.
"I think that it is precisely because we want to return to our former strength and regain the glory of a thousand years ago that we must go through a large-scale sect massacre!"
"Dad, in terms of strength, could it be that the Dark Heaven Sect is really stronger than our Heavenly Sword Sect? I don't think so!"
Guu Ling continued after seeing the others nodding their heads.
"Our Heavenly Sword Sect is obviously stronger than the Dark Heaven Sect, but we have to swallow our anger in front of them and compromise. I'm afraid that if this continues, more and more Dark Heaven Sect will appear.
At that time, I'm afraid that all the sects will come and bully us. It will be the Heavenly Sword Sect's weakness. Originally, we only need to pay a price to win this battle, and our status will become the life-and-death battle of our Heavenly Sword Sect. At that time, it would be good enough for our Heavenly Sword Sect to survive. How can we talk about the rise of Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Just as the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Guu Yuan, was about to say something, a firm voice sounded from outside the Heavenly Sword Great Hall.
"That's right. If our Heavenly Sword Sect wants to rise, we will be recognized by the continent. We must use a big sect that provoked us to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!"
He heard this voice that he had been separated from for three years, but was still very familiar with. A few Core Experts and elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked out of the hall and saw their backbone. At the same time, they prostrated on the ground and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Guu Feng walked into the main hall and sat on the seat of Sect Master. He glanced at everyone and said.
"All of you, get up."
After everyone got up, Great Elder Guu Yuan said, "Congratulations to Sect Master for coming out of seclusion."
Guu Feng nodded his head. He turned to Guu Ling and said, "Guu Ling, what happened just now? Tell me."
Seeing Guu Feng asking this question, Guu Ling didn't exaggerate it, nor did he narrate it in a small way.
After listening to what Guu Ling said, Guu Feng understood the conflict between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Dark Heaven Sect. However, he didn't express his stance immediately. Instead, he looked at the three elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect and asked.
"Elders, what do you think about this matter?"
"Sect Master, this matter can be big or small, but it can be fought and peaceful. Everything needs to be decided by you, Sect Master..."
Great Elder Guu Yuan continued to express his stance, "No matter what decision the Sect Master makes, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect will follow it with our lives."
After Guu Yuan, the rest of the people in the Heavenly Sword Great Hall also expressed their stance.
"Yes, we will follow it with our lives on the line!"
"Then I will tell you my decision, I want a big battle!" Guu Feng continued, "The strong are respected in Heavenly Dome Continent. It is impossible for Heavenly Sword Sect to rise to become one of the top ten sects in the continent in peace.
Now, since the Dark Heaven Sect has bullied us, we have no choice but to step on them and use them as a stepping stone for the Heavenly Sword Sect to rise to power! "
Glancing around and seeing that no one had any objections, Guu Feng asked.
"Great Elder, the strength of the Dark Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, who is stronger and who is weaker?"
"Reporting to Sect Master, according to my investigation during this period of time, the strength of our Heavenly Sword Sect is stronger..."
In fact, Great Elder Guu Yuan already had the intention to deal with the Dark Heaven Sect a long time ago, but right now, the Heavenly Sword Sect was no longer the Great Elder who was in charge of the Sect Master, but the real Sect Master.
If he were to act the same way he did on the island, it would be detrimental to the Heavenly Sword Sect's loyalty to Guu Feng.
Therefore, even though he was ready to fight the Dark Heaven Sect, he could only wait for Guu Feng to make the decision.
When he heard that the opponent was weaker than him, Guu Feng only had one worry left.
"This is not easy to deal with. If the Dark Heaven Sect is too weak, it won't be able to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys."
