The Ironbone Sectâs first sect rule was originally âto be an unyielding person, to behave unyieldinglyâ, then it became âto be unafraid of life and death, eliminate whatever you cannot acceptâ, and now there was also âwhatever tries to kill me, I killâ.
Although this maxim seemed to have changed many times, the underlying meaning was all the same â do not provoke me!
Spirit Spring Sect had provoked them, therefore they had been completely destroyed.
âHmph.â The Long Sabre Sect Master snorted, âWhether or not the Spirit Spring Sect provoked you, you cannot just exterminate them!â
Jun Changxiao glanced at him, lightly saying, âIf your honorable sect annoys my Ironbone Sect, it will face the same fate as the Spirit Spring Sect.â
Very crazy, very arrogant!
The Long Sabre Sectâs master felt fury bubbling up.
The Tiger Roar Sect Master huffed, âSect Head Jun, donât burn your bridges. That is Jianghuâs custom, is it not?â [1]
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his seat, kicking his feet onto the table. âIf I destroy those that provoke me, we will not meet again.â
This guy!
The sect leaders were infuriated.
In the past, Sect Head Wang ahad also attended a Hundred Sect Alliance conference, but he quietly sat to the side. This second-generation sect leader was so domineering, making it hard for them to endure!
Another sect leader righteously said, âDisregards alliance regulations and arbitrarily destroys another alliance member, an unforgivable sin! I ask Alliance Chief Qin to punish him and warn others against following a bad example!â
These various sect leaders went up to battle one after another â this was trying to use the strongest spittle to drown the pompous Sect Head Jun.
âAn unforgivable sin?â Jun Changxiao coldly said, âThis frog-eyed sect leader, this Lord wants to ask you: a sect first bribes bandits, hires assassins, and performs underhanded tricks. According to the Alliance, what crime is this?â
ââŠâ
That sect leader had nothing to say.
Another sect leader helped him out. âSect Head Jun, if that is true, produce evidence and the Alliance Headquarters will uphold justice! Without evidence, acting is contrary to nature and humanity!â
âUphold justice?â Jun Changxiao calmly said, âThis Lord will speak frankly: your hearts do not uphold justice, they uphold hypocrisy.â
âYouâŠ!â
That sect leader was also angered.
Jun Changxiao indifferently said, âThe Spirit Spring Sect colluded with bandits, hired assassins⊠This Lord has famously exterminated them, what crime did I do?â
He continued, âBut you group of white-haired idiots who fear the Holy Spring Sect, you keep talking about morality and justice all day, yet are here not to uproot evil but to ensure you keep your food and clothing. With what audacity do you lecture me?â
âYou⊠youâŠâ
That sect leader was trembling with resentment.
Jun Changxiao continued to reprimand: âYour excellencies are all leaders of a sect, yet have never rendered meritorious services for the people, only engaging in loose talk. Now that I exterminated the Spring Spring Sect, who colluded with bandits, you quibble. Just like dogs with broken spines, you yap about this and that. I have never seen people so impudent or shameless!â
Puhâ
The sect leader he was mostly speaking to was so angry he vomited blood.
Jun Changxiao took a puff of the cigar.
Jesus Christ, these peopleâs words are forceful. [2]
Want to bicker?
Come, come, letâs hurt each other!
If this Lord doesnât punch you black and blue, Iâll write the words âkeyboard warriorâ backward!
The various sect leaders felt their foreheads breaking out into cold sweat.
How fortunate that this motherfucker was attacking Sect Leader Situ Wang! If he had been targeting themselves, perhaps they would have already vomited blood at least three times by now.
Alliance Lord Qinâs expression was dark. He obviously had not expected that this 20-year-old fellow had such high-level aggravation skills. Did he have to act himself?
Jun Changxiao added, âEveryone, please speak freely.â
ââŠâ
The various sect leaders felt their mouths twitching.
They wanted to speak freely, wanting to say the lines they had prepared to ruthlessly condemn Jun Changxiao. However, compared to Sect Head Junâs harsh rebuke moments ago, they felt like their words were much weaker.
âSecond Senior Brother.â Su Xiaomo stood at the back and whispered, âSect Head angered that old man so much he spat blood, this is simply terrifying!â
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji agreed; worship for their sect head had crossed yet another threshold.
Ye Xingchen secretly disdained, In this world, only the weak refute with their mouths. The true powerhouses speak with their fists.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission {Passionately Argue with Scholars}, obtaining 50 contribution points.]
[Ding! Sect Contribution: 127/500.]
Sure enough, most of the hidden missions had something to do with four-character idioms.
âŠ
The Star Moon Pavilion was silent, as all the sect leaders were silent.
From the beginning, they had set their hearts upon denouncing and accusing Jun Changxiao. The result was that this fellowâs scolding was too ruthless, making them afraid to say their lines.
âNo one is speaking?â
Jun Changxiao stood up and walked to the table in the center, placing a piece of paper on the table with one hand.
âThen this Lord shall speak. Starting today, the Ironbone Unyielding Sect is leaving the Hundred Sects Alliance.â
On the paper was written âhenceforth, the Ironbone Unyielding Sect leaves the Hundred Sects Allianceâ â it was even stamped with the sect leaderâs seal.
Alliance Chief Qin angrily said, âJun Changxiao, the Alliance is not an inn; you cannot enter when you want and then leave when you want.â
Jun Changxiao shrugged. âThis type of organization that fears the Holy Spring Sect and so unites the various sects to oppress its own members⊠My Ironbone Sect disdains being associated with it.â
Pah!
Alliance Chief Qin pounded the table, standing up.
Clang! Clang!
Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo, and Xiao Zuiji simultaneously drew their swords. They stepped in front of their sect head, forming a protective line.
âWhatâs wrong?â Jun Changxiao sneered, âAlliance Chief Qin is making a move?â
Qin Haoran naturally did not dare act. After all, this was Qingyang City, Xie Guangkunâs domain. He forcefully restrained his anger. âStarting today, the Ironbone Sect shall be removed from the Hundred Sects Alliance!â
A member choosing to withdraw was disgraceful, so he kicked them from the alliance on his own initiative. At least that way, he could save face.
Jun Changxiao did not care, saying, âI just donât want to have any connections to you group of white-haired idiots. Withdrawing or being kicked out, Alliance Chief Qin can make the decision.â
Saying that, he turned around and left.
The Ironbone Sect disciples sheathed their swords and followed their sect head.
Alliance Chief Qin and the more than 30 big shots could only watch his figure walking down the stairs.
Pah.
The boombox turned on and sang:
Donât think Iâm only a goat~
Because of me, the green grass if more fragrant~
Because of me, the blue sky is more brilliant~
âŠ
After Jun Changxiao left, the Long Sabre Sect Master pounded a fist on the table. âThis guy is too arrogant!â
âEver since the Alliance was established, his Ironbone Sect is the first to dare withdraw!â
âWithdrawing is fine too, at least the Holy Spring Sect will not involve us.â
âReasonable, reasonable.â
Originally they were all very indignant, but their anger cooled off.
The Long Sabre Sect Master said, âAlliance Chief Qin, since the Ironbone Sect is no longer part of our alliance, they also donât have any more privileges, right?â
Alliance Chief Qin got up to leave, but as he walked down the stairs, he said, âNot my alliance member, does not have any privileges.â
The Long Sabre Sect Master understood and immediately went to the broken window, shouting at Jun Changxiao. âSect Head Jun, please hold your steps!â
âWhat is the matter?â Jun Changxiao turned around and asked.
The Long Sabre Sect Master coldly smiled, humbly saying, âYour honorable sect disciples assumed full responsibility of the Top 4, meaning that Sect Head Jun is extraordinary. This Shen wishes to ask for advice but does not know whether you have time today?â
Canât out-argue me, so youâre changing tactics?
Jun Changxiao turned around, smoking his cigar. With a smile, he said, âI have time.â
