Chapter 927: Martial Will Or Tepid Scholar.
It was clear to him that they wanted more sincerity from him, so he took his generosity a step further by saying, "I swear in my Dao that I will stop fighting you for five minutes for you to save Sword Maestro. If you kill the dragon in that time, the fight will also resume. If I break my oath, may my Dao in the path of Death shatter."This was the highest level of oath he could make, and he even put his Death Pathway, a Cosmic Dao, on the line. In his opinion, there was no greater level of sincerity. Even Tepid Scholar thought so.
The Dao Lord of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect nodded and said, "It seems you’re sincere. However, we reject your offer."
This time, even Sword Maestro was displeased with their behavior. He said, "What’s the problem now?"
Heavenly Eye replied, "We think he is wary of the dragon and wants to make us test the dragon to see if we will also be affected by his peculiar external body the exact same way you were affected."
"If we are affected the same way, he will learn from our predicament and stay away from the dragon until he has figured out how the dragon is doing it. And even if we aren’t affected, we would be the ones to save you while he gets the credit and whatever reward you will give him."
Martial Will also added, saying, "Plus, we are sure that he just wants to use us to kill the dragon for him and use the dragon to wear us down. That way, it will be easier for him to kill all of us."
Sword Maestro wanted to say, "That’s not true."
He didn’t think that what they said was far-fetched, but for the sake of his Grand Dao, he had to convince them to take the offer and help him.
But then he heard Black Chains tut and say to Martial Will, "Since when did you become smart? You act like you hate the scholar, but I bet that you’ve been taking lessons from him."
Martial Will snorted in anger at the insinuation that he was secretly working together with the Tepid Scholar. But he ignored Black Chains and focused on their battle in the Blessed Heaven World.
Since the matter had been confirmed by the perpetrator himself, Sword Maestro couldn’t deny their claims and say that they were being overly paranoid. Even so, he was unwilling to give up.
So he said, "Even if it is the truth, I believe that with my help, we won’t be at any disadvantage against him. Just save me from the dragon, and we can fight him together."
But Tepid Scholar shook his head and said, "Too risky. Too much unknown. I think it is a better idea for us to focus on taking down the known danger than to engage with an unknown danger who is capable of ignoring the mutual suppression of Authority."
Sword Maestro still wanted to convince them, but Black Chains decided to interject at this point. He said to Sword Maestro, "Don’t bother with this bunch of short-sighted fools. I have decided to save you, and I can do so myself. However, you have to do something for me."
