Imperial God Emperor Chapter 575 – Don’st let the past affect today

Chapter 575, Don’t let the past affect today

At this time, everyone finally knew of the inside story to the destruction of the White Lotus Sword Sect.

If it really was as Liu Shaji had said, then Feng Wuhen was indeed a treacherous lowly person.

Although the fact that in this world the strong survived and the weak were destroyed is publicly acknowledged, but if the Greater One Sect and the White Lotus Sword Sect fought head-on and the White Lotus Sword Sect was defeated, then no one can blame them. But if Feng Wuhen really did take advantage his brother’s trust, used crafty plots, and poisoned his drink, then that behaviour really was despicable and contemptible.

“It is hard to imagine that the Greater One Spiritual Master was just posing as a person of high morals!”

“So this is the truth of the downfall of the White Lotus Sword Sect!”

“A hundred years ago the White Lotus Sword Sect was one of the most powerful forces in Clear River Domain. Although their number was not as many as the Greater One Sect, but their foundation was definitely comparable.”

“Yes, back then the Greater One Sect and the White Lotus Sword Sect were considered the two major sects of the correct path, they were well-regarded!”

“Unfortunately the White Lotus Sword Sect was too prideful, their strength was extraordinary, but was unwilling to follow the poor example of the Greater One Sect, and blocked the way of the Greater One Sect.”

“A hundred years ago I had also heard that Ji Lingshan was known as the peerless pair with Feng Wuhen. It is said that his cultivation and talent were above those of Feng Wuhen.”

“It is regrettable that such a talented person, because of becoming friends with the wrong person, ended like that, it really is a pity!”

“Greater One Spiritual Master has not admitted it yet. Besides he was a successor of the Greater One Sect back then, was there a need for him to do that, perhaps there is a misunderstanding?”

“Haha, the White Lotus Sword Sect have come for revenge, one person to fight against the entire Greater One Sect. If there is no conclusive evidence, who would have such courage!”

“All the people of the Greater One Sect pose as persons of high morals, the self-proclaimed noble and upright sect, over the years, have fabricated excuses, how many sects have been annexed or destroyed by them!”

“Hmph, the way of this world is to use one’s strength to mistreat people, the one with the bigger fist has the right of speech!”

Everyone sighed with sorrow and regret

Some people despised the Greater One Sect.

Some felt sorry for the White Lotus Sword Sect.

Some lamented the fickleness of the world.

On the Greater One Sect’s floating peak.

There was a faint ashamed look on the Greater One Spiritual Master’s face as he slightly shook his head, sighing, “Changfa, back then I had no other choice…”

Before his words faded away..

There was an immediate uproar.

Some that looked forward to the Greater One Spiritual Master solving the misunderstanding had completely exploded, and the image that the Greater One Spiritual Master had created all these years also momentarily crumbled.

Because his words were tantamount to admitting all the accusations made by Liu Shaji!

“Hmph!”

Liu Shaji snorted, long hair fluttering in the air, expression turning wild.

His right hand shook, pointing the White Lotus Immortal sword directly at Greater One Spiritual Master.

“Had no other choice? What a ‘had no other choice’! Did anyone force you to be the master of Greater One Sect? You were just blinded by greed and wanted to fight for the position of the master of Greater One Sect. In order to achieve merit, you betrayed my father and the entire White Lotus Sword Sect! You two-faced scum, for your own benefit, you even schemed against your brother. My father thought of you as a close friend, a real brother, do you know what is shame! These hundred years have you slept well, have the ghosts of White Lotus Sword Sect who died unjustly under your sword come to demand your life?”

Liu Shaji repeatedly denounced Greater One Spiritual Master, hardly able to restrain his rage.

Greater One Spiritual Master quietly watched Liu Shaji, without saying a word, his complexion sad.

The breeze rippled, Greater One Spiritual Master clenched the horsetail whisk in his hand, the silver hair powerlessly drifting along with the breeze.

The rebuke from Liu Shaji rang in his ears, and looking at Liu Shaji, he seemed to see his good brother, Ji Liingshan, who he once drank wine and chatted merrily with.

Back then they became friends and made their way in Clear River Domain, they had been through ups and downs together, but were still happy.

How many times had they fought off the enemy together and survived.

How many times had they shared good wine and enjoyed the beautiful scenery together, lying among the flowers.

How many times had they practiced martial arts together, giving guidance to one another.

As Greater One Spiritual Master recalled the past, he subconsciously revealed a faint smile.

But, after all, he was a formidable person of a generation, a martial arts overlord. How strong was his state of mind, how would he really fall into guilt and regret and other negative emotions. After three or four seconds of immersion, he immediately snapped out of the trance. He cannot chase after the past, Ji Lingshan had died under his sword, the White Lotus Sword Sect had been destroyed, and all this, was brought about by his own choice.

If he was given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

Although he was the successor of the Greater One Sect, but competition was fierce. The other seven successors of the seven peaks were all eyeing the position of Greater One Sect Master. With the slightest mistake, there would be countless disciples waiting to step on him!

The White Lotus Sword Sect was not only powerful, but also prideful, they were very particular in justice and fairness in everything they did, and were extremely stubborn about it.

The Greater One Sect was ambitious, and had long ago had the ambition of reaching the top of Clear River Domain, but never knew how to deal with the White Lotus Sword Sect.

Back then, he coincidentally met the successor of the White Lotus Sword Sect Ji Lingshan, and his master had countless times hinted that he must try to befriend Ji Lingshan.

Unaware of the situation, Greater One Spiritual Master only thought that his master encouraged him to befriend Ji Lingshan was for the purpose of the Greater One Sect and the White Lotus Sword Sect forming an alliance!

However, gradually, he finally came to realize the real intention of Greater One Sect towards the White Lotus Sword Sect. At that time, it was already too late to turn back.

Either he schemed against the White Lotus Sword Sect and take this credit to become the master of the Greater One Sect…

Or he will be silenced by the Greater One Sect.

The road of the strong was destined to be bumpy.

To become the strongest, one had to give up on many things, everything except oneself.

Therefore, he volunteered to scheme against the White Lotus Sword Sect, and used the credit of destroying the White Lotus Sword Sect to justifiably rise to the position of Greater One Sect Master.

On the floating peak.

The Greater One Spiritual Master flicked his horsetail whisk, seemingly sweeping away the past like dust.

A faint, indifferent smile emerged on his face as he calmly said, “In this great wide world, the weak are prey to the strong. In order to achieve one’s goal, they will stop at nothing. So what if I schemed to destroy your White Lotus Sword Sect, a man is not bothered by trifles; the winner is king, the loser an outlaw. The matter is in the past, why mention it again… However, I am very curious,” The Greater One spiritual master’s gaze looked up and down at Liu Shaji, before he continued, “back then the White Lotus Sword Sect became a place of death. Almost all were killed by Greater One Sect, I swept a glance over the thousands of miserable corpses, everyone was dead, how did you survive?”

Liu Shaji noticed the change in expression within the Greater One Spiritual Master’s eyes, saying disdainfully, “You thought everything was within calculation? My mother was already suspicious of you. Although at the time of the incident, she was poisoned, but she took advantage of the chaos and disregarded her own life to seal me into the Sword-Jade god-level Origin crystal of the White Lotus Sword Sect and hid me in the underground of the White Lotus Sword Sect. I escaped the calamity, and my body was within the Origin crystal, but I saw everything with my own eyes! A hundred years past by like one day going by. Although I am preserved in my young state, but the flames of vengeance was not extinguished. All these years, in the Origin crystal, I have been absorbing the divine power, cultivating non-stop, just for today, to stand here and demand vengeance for the ghosts of White Lotus Sword Sect!”

Liu Shaji spoke with a stern countenance and a fierce voice, unable to calm his emotions, his left hand hanging at the side of his body tightly clenched into a fist. His knuckles were turning white, and the right hand holding the White Lotus Immortal sword was also trembling.

When Greater One Spiritual Master heard this, he lowered his head and sighed: “I see, although your mother was born from a humble family, she was known as the first beauty of Clear River Domain. Possessing grace and talent, she was called a celestial maiden of a generation, there were many people that admired her, including your father and I, but she in the end chose your father. On the day of the battle, I didn’t want to kill her, but when I found her, she had already killed herself before the corpse of your father.”

Here, Greater One Spiritual Master suddenly raised his head, abruptly changed the topic, and his face became serious, “You came to avenge them? Haha, well, come on, I’ll give you a chance, let’s see if you have the ability!”

With that, the Greater One Spiritual Master swung his arms behind, the mysterious silver sleeves rolled up. Under the silver robe, his feet were slightly moving, about to mount the Storm Platform.

Behind him, the several peak masters responded with shock.

“Master don’t!”

“Master please think again!”

“Master please consider it carefully!”

“Master, a junior is not worthy of you personally battling!”

Upon seeing this the several headmasters turned pale with fright, and at once persuaded against it.

They had already consecutively lost two headmasters, Liu Xuezong and He Ju, the Greater One Sect had suffered a disastrous loss already, yet they still could not see through the White Lotus sword technique!

Since Liu Shaji dared challenge the Greater One Spiritual Master, it was likely that he had a card up his sleeve!

The fact that the Greater One Spiritual Master had accepted the battle under such conditions made them extremely worry.

What if a mishap happened to the Greater One Spiritual Master, the consequences were something the Greater One Sect could not bear!

At that time, without a leader, what they would face was a devastating blow!

The Greater One Spiritual Master looked at the junior and senior brothers, laughed heartily, and with a wide sweeping motion with his sleeve said, “Haha, I, Feng Wuhen am the Master of Greater One Sect, do you think I would be afraid of a junior!?”

Sunlight pierced through the layers of clouds onto the Greater One Spiritual Master. His white robe that was untainted by a speck of dust, under the sun rays, glowed with a golden light.

Greater One Spiritual Master stood with hands clasped behind his back, projecting a natural dignity and power.

The next moment, there was a circle of misty yuan qi rippling around the Greater One Spiritual Master’s body, and at his feet was a golden halo of light gradually appearing, increasingly brighter, and finally as dazzling the sun. In a flash, Greater One Spiritual Master turned into a blazing golden meteor, piercing the sky.

In a twinkling, the golden glow was on the Storm Platform.

The golden halo of light gradually dispersed, as the figure of the Greater One Spiritual Master appeared on the Storm Platform.

The Greater One Spiritual Master stood straight, like a powerful pine tree standing proud on a cliff, and as stable as a mountain.

From the mysterious silver sleeves were wisps of wind slowly coming out.

“Come on, Changfa. Whether you can avenge your parents depends on your ability, I will not be lenient on you,” the Greater One Spiritual Master said calmly.

Liu Shaji, upon hearing these words, took a deep breath, quelling the sadness and anger.

In the battle between experts, one must not let emotions affect their fighting skills.

Withdrawing the sword that was pointing at the Greater One Spiritual Master, the tip of the White Lotus Immortal sword pointed skywards as he clapped his hands together, like he was burning incense, closed his eyes and prayed.

A moment later, Liu Shaji put two fingers close together, lightly wiping the sword blade, and the White Lotus Immortal sword emitted an impatient hum.

“Old friend, this is the final battle. We shall avenge the White Lotus Sword Sect together.”

This battle… would perhaps change the whole Clear River Domain——
