# Chapter 843: Sword Madman
"Are you lecturing me?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable said coldly upon hearing Lin Feng's sarcastic tone.
"I wouldn't dare." Lin Feng sneered. "A teacher guides their disciples. In a sect or force, if the leader is magnanimous and powerful, the sect will also be magnanimous and prosperous. The Heavenly Lake Empire transformed from a weak nation in the past into a major hegemon of the Qian Domain, all because of Heavenly Lake. All of this stems from the beliefs of those who govern Heavenly Lake—everything they do is for the empire. This is what unites everyone from top to bottom, keeping the empire strong and unwaning."
"Heavenly Pivot Peak is the master of the seven peaks of Heavenly Lake, the leader of Heavenly Lake. The one who leads Heavenly Pivot Peak must possess great boldness of vision. The disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak, like Yu Tianji and others, also have courage and integrity. Although they have had unpleasantness and friction with me, in times of crisis, they were willing to share hardships together. Everything is for Heavenly Lake. It is only those blinded by greed, like the people of Heavenly Pivot Peak, who had just entered the secret realm and tried to harm me over a personal grudge, later even saying they would kill us. When I returned to Heavenly Lake, I understood—there is a reason the disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak are like this."
Lin Feng spoke slowly, causing the Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable's expression to grow increasingly unpleasant. A teacher guides their disciples—Lin Feng used sarcasm against the disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak to insult its upper echelons, its leaders, and humiliate the entire Heavenly Pivot Peak.
These clear words were understood by everyone present. The people from the other snowy peaks thought to themselves that Lin Feng had quite the nerve, wondering how this matter would unfold.
The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable slowly turned his gaze, no longer looking at Lin Feng, but falling on Snow Venerable.
"You heard him too. This man has no respect for his elders. I must take him to Heavenly Pivot Peak for a few days. However, Heavenly Mystery Peak need not worry—my Heavenly Pivot Peak will not harm his life, only make him understand some principles of seniority and respect."
Snow Venerable shook his head faintly. Since Heavenly Pivot Peak had orchestrated this scene, everyone knew what intentions they harbored. How could he let them take Lin Feng to Heavenly Pivot Peak?
"Are you indulging the disciples of Heavenly Mystery Peak?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable's voice turned slightly colder.
"I don't wish to say more. Why must you be so aggressive? You say Lin Feng has no respect for elders—he only spoke disrespectfully. Your disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak even dared to surround the main hall of Heavenly Mystery Peak, my Heavenly Mystery Peak's main hall. When it comes to disrespect, how can Lin Feng compare to your disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak? What right do you have to take Lin Feng to your Heavenly Pivot Peak?"
Snow Venerable's eyes flashed with a bright light as he looked at the other party, his voice also turning slightly colder. The Heavenly Lake lineage had been passed down for so many years without major incidents, but as Lin Feng said, without a sense of vigilance in times of peace, it inevitably allowed some people to harbor ulterior motives, and that sense of mission had faded somewhat.
"It was Lin Feng killing my Heavenly Pivot Peak disciples that aroused the indignation of the Heavenly Pivot Peak lineage. However, what they did was indeed disrespectful, and I will deal with them myself. If you are willing to help me discipline them, I would be happy to do so. But I still want to take this disciple of yours away." The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable's attitude was tough, willing to sacrifice his own disciples. Heavenly Mystery Peak could do nothing to them either.
Snow Venerable said nothing more, still shaking his head. Taking Lin Feng away was impossible.
"Are you trying to provoke conflict between the Heavenly Pivot Peak and Heavenly Mystery Peak lineages? As the leader of the Heavenly Mystery Peak lineage, what are your intentions?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable rebuked, causing the people of Heavenly Mystery Peak to freeze in place. Was it the Heavenly Mystery Peak Venerable provoking conflict between the two peaks?
"I thought all the venerables of Heavenly Lake were benevolent and righteous, but I never expected that the venerables of Heavenly Lake are ultimately ordinary people, possessing human greed and shamelessness." Lin Feng sneered. From beginning to end, it was Heavenly Pivot Peak that was aggressive and unreasonable, all for the treasures on him. Now they were instead slandering Heavenly Mystery Peak for provoking conflict.
"How dare you!" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable shouted at Lin Feng. In an instant, it was as if space trembled. A wave of divine sense shot toward Lin Feng, drilling directly into his brow—invisible and formless, so subtle that those with weaker cultivation couldn't even sense it.
Lin Feng instantly mobilized his soul power, using tens of thousands of remnant souls to form the intent of an ancient bell, resisting the other party's thread of divine sense attack. The ancient bell rang with a tremor. Lin Feng's body shook violently, and he took several steps back.
"Thump!" His body followed the momentum and sat down on the ground. Lin Feng suppressed the blood flow in his face, causing his complexion to turn much paler, bloodless.
The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable had attacked with divine sense power, controlling it just right—enough to injure his soul and stimulate his consciousness. However, because Lin Feng had cultivated the Remnant Soul Heaven Art and the divine sense method taught by the Three Lives Demon Emperor, this divine sense attack that could injure Heavenly Martial Realm experts could not shake him. But he still had to pretend to be injured; otherwise, others would suspect he had obtained some heavy treasure and become greedy.
Heavy treasures corrupt the heart. Even the venerables of Heavenly Lake had become so despicable due to greed. He had to remain vigilant.
"Insulting your elders repeatedly—if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know to respect your teachers and elders." The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable sneered, appearing somewhat arrogant. However, the moment his words fell, in an instant, a terrifying Sword Dao intent enveloped the space. At this moment, it was as if the entire world was filled with an overwhelmingly powerful sword aura.
Even the venerables felt their minds tighten, sensing that this sharp sword intent could strike out at any moment, unleashing a terrible attack. As for those below the venerable level, whether Heavenly Martial or Mysterious Martial Realm cultivators, they all felt suffocated, not daring to move recklessly, as if this sharp sword could pierce them at any moment.
"Who?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable's expression changed slightly. This pervasive sword aura turned the entire space into a sword domain, as if endless sword light could burst forth at any moment.
"Ah..."
"Ah!"
Screams suddenly rang out. The disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak all showed intense fear. The formless sword intent twisted and tore at their bodies. Although no wounds appeared, they felt swords constantly cutting across them, piercing them with a thousand holes, as if they could die at any moment.
In just a moment, they all personally experienced the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart. Their bodies were drenched in sweat, prostrate on the ground, panting like oxen, like a pool of mud, completely devoid of strength, as if they had become dead men.
This pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart seemed to be the cruelest punishment in the world, descending upon them.
"Come out!" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable roared, like a thunderclap exploding in the void.
In the sky, a sword light streaked across the void, stepping on the radiance of the sword, instantly descending above the crowd. This person stood in the void, his entire body exuding a terrifying sword aura, as if he were a peerless divine sword drawn from its sheath, incomparably sharp. With a single thought, he made the disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak endure the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
"Sword Madman, what is the meaning of this?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable looked at the newcomer, his expression cold, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of wariness. If there was anyone in the Heavenly Mystery Peak lineage who could make him cautious, it was undoubtedly Sword Madman. Moreover, Sword Madman's attainment in Sword Dao Essence seemed to have become even more terrifying.
This man was an absolute madman, and a sword cultivator with powerful attacks. Among the three venerables of Heavenly Mystery Peak, he was the strongest—even his two senior brothers were no match for him.
"Even if someone from my Heavenly Mystery Peak is wrong, it's not your Heavenly Pivot Peak's place to discipline them. On the contrary, your people from Heavenly Pivot Peak need me to help you discipline them." Sword Venerable stood proudly in the void, his gaze sharp as a sword. The disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak were all trembling with fear. Such terrifying strength—with a single thought, he made them feel the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
"Sword Madman, are you too arrogant?" The Heavenly Pivot Peak Venerable shouted coldly.
"Arrogant?" Sword Venerable sneered. "Not only did your people from Heavenly Pivot Peak surround the main hall of my Heavenly Mystery Peak and stir up trouble for no reason, but you also want to take away the most outstanding disciple of my Heavenly Mystery Peak. Now you say I'm arrogant? Ridiculous. Everyone knows why you've come. Heavenly Lake has long had a rule: disciples who possess great fortune must not be fought over—they must only be assisted in their growth. But you people of Heavenly Pivot Peak are blinded by greed. Today, I want to see what gives Heavenly Pivot Peak the right to be so arrogant."
As his words fell, terrifying sword aura pressed down from the void. Sword Madman—he would not only act against the disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak but also against their venerable. Heavenly Mystery Peak could not be bullied!
