Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

"Indeed!"

Ximen Langge nodded and said loudly:

"Our Celestial Sword Immortal Sect houses a core inheritance, but it's been lost for many years."

"Some time ago, after observing your exhibition at Sword God Mountain, I returned to investigate."

"I discovered that it is indeed the supreme Sword Dao inheritance our sect lost, the Sword Emperor's Intent!"

After finishing, he looked at Su Mingyu with a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth,

"I've secretly invited you to Sword God Mountain several times, yet you always evaded and refused to come."

"I had no choice but to resort to this tactic and lure you here."

This statement made the Sword Cultivators present show expressions of understanding and realization.

Inheritance is the most crucial asset for a force.

If leaked, it would be akin to a catastrophic disaster.

If compelled out of necessity, such measures are understandable.

"I was wondering why the dignified Celestial Sword Immortal Sect would act so improperly, turns out it's for such a grand cause."

"Indeed, the leakage of an inheritance is no small matter, using extreme methods can be understood."

"But... could this be just the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect's claims? What if the inheritance..."

"How can it be, Su family's Sword Dao could never surpass the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect? It must have been acquired by luck from somewhere..."

The crowd debated intensely, mostly in favor of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect.

Even if some hesitated to speak, they were quickly interrupted.

In terms of strength, it was hard to say whether Su family or Celestial Sword Immortal Sect was stronger.

But for Sword Dao alone, the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect clearly held more weight.

...

Hearing whispers around him, Er Niu's expression changed slightly, while Ximen Langge's smile grew wider.

He looked at Er Niu and spoke with a tone of lamentation:

"Normally, stealing another sect's inheritance would mean abolishing one's cultivation and severing their foundation."

"But considering your challenging path and your contribution to our lost inheritance, "

"I can offer you an opportunity..."

He paused before his mysterious tone continued:

"Surrender the Sword Emperor inheritance, join our Celestial Sword Immortal Sect, and I will spare your life!"

"Of course, Su Changqing, who taught you the inheritance, must perform three kneels and nine kowtows at our sect to atone!"

This statement caused no reaction from the Sword Cultivators present, as such was the norm for stealing an inheritance.

But Er Niu laughed angrily, "You claim this inheritance belongs to your sect, is that so?"

"Where is the evidence!"

"Is there anyone practicing this Dao in your sect?"

"If you produce evidence today, my Su family will not disregard reason!"

Buzz!

Er Niu stabbed a sharp sword into the ground before him and shouted sternly, "Abolish cultivation, sever foundation, I will comply!"

"But if there's no evidence..."

His eyes turned icy cold, "Then my Su family demands an explanation for this matter!"

"Evidence?"

Ximen Langge responded with a chuckle, "Our Celestial Sword Immortal Sect's reputation is the greatest evidence!"

"Do you think I would risk ruining Celestial Sword's name to falsely accuse you regarding a Sword Dao inheritance?"

"Moreover, I've stated clearly that this inheritance has been lost for a long time."

"Yet you ask me for evidence; isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"

As he spoke, he looked at Er Niu with disdain and mocked,

"You claim the Sword Emperor inheritance doesn't belong to Celestial Sword Immortal Sect; where does this Sword Dao originate from?"

"Such a powerful inheritance would not be without a sect or disciples, would it?"

"If you can reveal the origin of this Sword Dao, my father will personally go to the Su family to apologize, how about that?"

Ximen Langge spoke with great confidence.

After all, even when searching through Celestial Sword Immortal Sect's historical records, it took ages to find traces of Sword Emperor Sect.

So much time has passed, forget about a sect, there's likely no trace of this Sword Dao's existence at all.

In other words, Er Niu can't possibly prove the origin of this Sword Dao!

"You..."

Wronged, Er Niu was already furious and pointed at Ximen Langge, unable to speak.

"What... can't prove it?"

Ximen Langge sneered,

"You seize our Celestial Sword Immortal Sect's inheritance, yet play the innocent."

"Is it that you don't want to surrender the inheritance and wish to establish your own sect?"

Many Sword Cultivators present whispered among themselves.

"What's with the Su family, they're being spared their lives, what more do they want?"

"Reluctant to part with it, I reckon. I've seen that inheritance before; it's pretty strong, maybe the Su family wants to keep it."

"Truly shameless, isn't the Su family known for being reasonable? How could they act like this..."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, pointing at Er Niu.

"You..."

Seeing this, Er Niu's face alternated between blue and red, his anger reaching its peak.

Especially with Ximen Langge's blatant mockery, framing him without any proof, which made him tremble with rage.

But the problem is... there's no way to prove it.

In the sword Dao sphere, the prestige of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect was too great.

And the Sword Emperor Sect had just emerged and hadn't had time to develop, with only him and Chang Qing.

Could it be said that Chang Qing, of the divine spirit realm, is the current Sect Leader of the Sword Emperor Sect?

Compared to the vast Celestial Sword Immortal Sect, the Sword Emperor Sect with merely a single Sect Leader and one disciple had no persuasive power at all.

Er Niu mulled it over for a long time but couldn't find a way to break the stalemate.

"I give you three breaths to consider."

Having the upper hand, Ximen Langge finally revealed his fangs and said coldly:

"If you don't hand over the inheritance, send a message for Su Changqing to come here."

"Then today, Sword God Mountain will be your burial ground!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Si turned pale and immediately blocked in front of Er Niu.

Er Niu gently pushed Ling Si aside, his gaze full of fury as he looked at Ximen Langge, "You think you have me cornered?"

"I'll see what happens if I don't comply!"

"Though this is the Eastern Region, that doesn't mean Su family members can't come!"

Upon hearing this, Ximen Langge sneered, "The Su family is indeed strong, but this is Sword God Mountain."

"This mountain is an ancient treasure, other Dao methods cannot be used here, except for sword Dao."

"In our Celestial Sword Immortal Sect, everyone is a sword Dao prodigy."

"How many in your Su family... practice sword Dao?"

To seize the inheritance, the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect had long foreseen conflict with the Su family.

The chosen battlefield was Sword God Mountain.

This mountain is extremely mystical, having been passed down since ancient times, suppressing all Dao methods except sword Dao.

In a battle here, if you aren't a sword cultivator, you can't bring your power to bear.

At this moment, Sword God Mountain was already ambushed with many strong members of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect.

Here, let alone with just the Su family, even with the Celestial Imperial Country, the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect wouldn't fear.

Worth mentioning, Sword God Mountain, as a holy land of sword Dao, doesn't have a Mountain Master.

This is a masterless sacred mountain.

Behind Sword God Mountain, there's a mountain path covered in countless swords.

This path is called the Path of the Sword God.

It contains a vast ocean of Sword Intent and terrifying trials of sword Dao.

Only those who ascend the Path of the Sword God can control Sword God Mountain and become the Mountain Master.

But Sword God Mountain had stood for many years, besides the Sword Emperor of the past, it seems no one has ever reached the summit.

It's rumored that the Sword Emperor's sword from back then is hidden within the belly of the mountain, waiting for the next Mountain Master to appear.

And this is one of the main reasons Sword God Mountain is considered the supreme sacred ground of sword Dao.

"The three breaths are up."

Ximen Langge finished speaking, his fingers forming a sword as a brilliant light flashed.

Er Niu's left arm was cut off, blood gushing out.

"Ming Yu!"

Ling Si exclaimed anxiously, her eyes red immediately.

She stood in front of Er Niu, shouting angrily, "He already said, the inheritance is not from your Celestial Sword Immortal Sect!"

Beside her, Zhou Rui's face turned icy, staring intently at Ximen Langge.

He wanted to act, but the surroundings had a strong suppression that prevented him from using any Dao methods.

That was the unique domain suppression of Sword God Mountain.

"I give you three more days."

Ximen Langge ignored Ling Si's anger, looking at Er Niu and saying blandly:

"As long as Su Changqing hasn't arrived, I'll cut off one of your limbs each day."

"If I still don't see him after three days..."

His words halted briefly, then he continued with a chilling tone, "You'll vanish along with that inheritance!"

Ling Si wanted to say something in anger, but Er Niu pulled her back.

He stopped the bleeding of his arm, looked at Ximen Langge, and with a grim smile, said,

"Three days is enough, our Su family has plenty of inheritance, be prepared for a good look then!"

With that, Er Niu meticulously communicated every detail of today's events to his father Su Wenlin.

Not only to Su Wenlin, but also to Su Nan, Su Zian, Su Moyan...

And when this aggrieved message got back,

The whole Su family exploded immediately!
