Chapter 385 Establishing Authority for the Supreme Elders
Jiang Fan touched his nose.
He slowly savored the situation, these old men and women were not ordinary people.
They seemed to also be from the Martial Path Realm.
This would be much easier then!
When he displayed his martial arts, ordinary people couldn't tell how powerful he was.
Could people from the Martial Path Realm not see it?
In the future, when dealing with Chuanchuan, they would undoubtedly consider carefully what consequences there would be for mistreating her.
"Alright! I'll play a piece then."
Jiang Fan decisively unlocked the wooden box on his back, slapped it open, and took out an ivory-white ancient zither.
Upon seeing this zither.
The smile on the face of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect suddenly froze!
"The Life-bound Magical Artifact of the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect?" he exclaimed. "How is it in your hands?"
Oh?
A bit knowledgeable, huh.
That was even better.
Jiang Fan stroked the strings and said, "Fu Chaohun, the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect, framed me in a perilous situation."
"This ancient zither was used by Elder Ming Youlian to pay off Fu Chaohun's debt."
"Oh, and Fu Chaohun lost to me."
Since he was going to display his strength, these achievements he usually didn't care to mention should be brought to the forefront.
What?
Their own Chief Disciple lost to this newcomer?
He looked incredulous.
Jiang Fan said, "Now, I'll play a Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Sound Sect!"
"This technique, outwardly named 'Array-Breaking Song', is a piece of sheet music that the whole Heavenly Sound Sect has been unable to comprehend."
"They didn't believe and let me try to comprehend it."
A group of Supreme Elders nodded secretly.
The Heavenly Sound Sect indeed had a very mysterious Earth-level sheet music called 'Array-Breaking Song'.
It was said to have flaws and no one had ever managed to successfully comprehend it.
Even Fu Chaohun, who was hailed as a prodigy of Sound Path who appeared once in a hundred years, couldn't comprehend much of it.
The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect chuckled: "Well then, quickly play it, let this old man hear what you have comprehended."
After several generations of attempts, this 'Array-Breaking Song' had long been deemed flawed and impossible to cultivate successfully.
Now it was only given to interested disciples to train their Sound Path talents.
It had basically become dispensable.
He didn't believe that an outsider like Jiang Fan could comprehend anything of value.
But who would have thought.
As soon as Jiang Fan's hands touched the zither, he played crisp and fierce, ear-drum-shattering notes!
It was as if a mighty dragon had emerged from the sea, roaring remarkably by the ears.
The terrifying sound waves transformed by the notes shattered all the close flowers and plants into powder!
The ground was shaken with chasms from which white smoke billowed straight up.
The scene instantly became a mess.
The face of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect changed drastically, he exclaimed: "An Earth-level Sound Path Cultivation Technique?"
"You comprehended it from the 'Array-Breaking Song'?"
Jiang Fan pressed down on the strings, put away the ancient zither while saying, "That's right, it's called 'Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique'."
"The Heavenly Sound Sect occupied the 'Array-Breaking Song' for nothing. It almost led to the loss of this 'Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique' hidden within."
A group of Supreme Elders looked at each other in dismay.
"Didn't the Heavenly Sound Sect always claim that joining them required talent in the Sound Path?"
"How is it they're not as good as an outsider?"
"No one in the entire sect can comprehend it?"
"I quite admire the Heavenly Sound Sect. They don't have their own Earth-level Sound Path Cultivation Technique, yet they give it away for free to others. Truly selfless and noble."
Whoosh.
The old face of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect turned red.
This, damn it, was an enormous embarrassment!
Qin Wangchuan's mouth split into a grin: "Second Grandma, do you think the Heavenly Sound Sect are all idiots?"
"They can't even compare to a young disciple of the Green Cloud Sect."
The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect wished he could find a hole to crawl into, coughing awkwardly:
"I don't know about this matter, I know nothing."
Another one down in disgrace.
Qin Wangchuan took advantage of the moment, casting his gaze toward the Supreme Elder of the Desires Sect.
The latter puffed out his chest, confidently said: "What's wrong with our Desires Sect? We have plenty of embarrassing things, a bit more doesn't matter."
The Desires Sect focused on mind cultivation and remained unruffled by some honor and disgrace.
Jiang Fan reminisced: "The Desires Sect, indeed, there was nothing particularly noteworthy."
"Except for their Sect Master, who is really unimpressive."
"She forcibly tried to recruit me into the Desires Sect, and when that didn't work, she issued a bounty on me."
"That really opened my eyes."
Uh—
The few Supreme Elders looked at the Supreme Elder of the Desires Sect in shock.
"Impossible, right? Couldn't recruit and issued a bounty?"
"Although the Desires Sect advocates acting as one wishes, this is too unseemly, isn't it?"
"It does seem a bit uncouth indeed."
The Supreme Elder of the Desires Sect awkwardly said: "Our Sect Master is a bit eccentric, but she wouldn't do such a thing."
"Otherwise, how would Jiang Fan, a young disciple, escape her grasp?"
Although he didn't care much about honor or disgrace from the outside world.
But this was somewhat embarrassing.
Jiang Fan's mood turned sour at his words.
"She certainly tried to catch me, even used Heavenly Mountain Silk!"
"Fortunately, I had trained in a movement technique and escaped."
Mentioning Heavenly Mountain Silk, the onlookers mostly believed it.
But saying he escaped right in front of the Desires Sect Master, no one could believe it.
Until Jiang Fan exhibited his movement technique, in the blink of an eye, he sped around the back garden like a whirlwind.
A group of Supreme Elders was astonished.
"What an extraordinary movement technique!"
"No wonder the Desires Sect Master couldn't catch him!"
"The Desires Sect Master must be incredibly annoyed, right?"
"She couldn't forcibly recruit him, couldn't catch him, couldn't get the bounty, probably furious."
"Warn the juniors to be careful if they go to the Desires Sect, either train in an excellent movement technique or keep a low profile."
"Be careful of being detained."
The Supreme Elder of the Desires Sect awkwardly said: "Exaggerated, exaggerated."
"It's not as serious as you all make it sound."
His previously straight posture was now slumped.
He couldn't lift his head.
Qin Wangchuan burst into laughter.
So Jiang Fan also had a story in the Desires Sect.
Fine, one more down in disgrace.
Her gaze shifted to the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect.
The latter, feeling guilty, said: "Jiang Fan hasn't been to our Myriad Swords Sect, has he?"
He prided himself on the Myriad Swords Sect's upstanding conduct.
There shouldn't be anything shameful.
But given the previous examples, he felt somewhat insecure.
"I've been there."
Jiang Fan's words made his heart skip a beat: "Nothing happened, right?"
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "The seniors at the Myriad Swords Sect were quite kind."
"They treated me very well."
Hearing this, the Supreme Elder heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Nothing shameful then.
Who knew, the next moment, he stood there like he'd seen a ghost.
"Senior Xu Qingyang even taught me the Sword Control Technique!"
Whoosh—
As Jiang Fan activated his Sword Heart, the Sorrow Frost Sword on his back abruptly unsheathed.
It turned into a rainbow streak and pierced the sky.
"What? Sword Control Technique!!!"
"Wasn't it said that the Sword Control Technique had been lost to the Myriad Swords Sect, with no successors?"
"How did this kid learn it?"
The Supreme Elders, one by one, were wide-eyed.
The Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect even saw stars before his eyes: "No, no, something's wrong."
"How did our Myriad Swords Sect's supreme technique end up being learned by an outsider?"
"And he learned it so easily!"
"If this got out, everyone would think our Myriad Swords Sect is filled with useless people!"
Qin Wangchuan was utterly pleased.
"You were laughing so happily just now, weren't you? Laugh again."
The Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect laughed.
It was a bitter laugh!
Where the hell did this ultimate Sword Dao prodigy come from?
One Sword Control Technique, and the entire Myriad Swords Sect's disciples would lose face completely.
