Chapter 855: Mysterious Sword Sect
The Xuanjian Sect held a significant position in the Martial Arts world, with a fair number of swordsmanship superiors hailing from this sect. Everyone who practiced martial arts looked up to them with great admiration.
Originally, Jian Shen’s emergence had propelled the prestige of the Xuanjian Sect to new heights, but his collusion with the witches of the Shennv Xuanhui had turned him into the common enemy of the Martial Arts community. This sullied the Xuanjian Sect’s reputation, leading them to publicly announce Jian Shen’s expulsion from the sect.
Today, as Jian Shen set foot in the Xuanjian Sect once more, he couldn’t help but sigh. The welcome he received was no longer one of glory or adoration. Instead, he was met with hostility and hatred.
The several hundred disciples of the Xuanjian Sect were already arrayed in a circle around him, their sword tips pointed at Jian Shen. They all appeared ferocious, but in reality, no one dared to make the first move. Everyone knew exactly who stood before them; the number one in swordsmanship meant that whoever stepped forward would be the first to die.
Jian Shen saw some of his old friends among the many disciples of the Xuanjian Sect. Even they regarded him as an enemy, causing him an abrupt pang of pain in his heart.
At that moment, Lin Xi tightly grasped Jian Shen’s hand and said, "Don’t mind them. Remember, I’m always by your side."
"Thank you!" Jian Shen smiled. Standing against the entire Martial Arts community for his beloved seemed worthwhile.
Lu Bei felt troubled, "Fellow disciples, we’re all from the same sect. Why must we come to this?"
Someone rebuked him, "Lu Bei, how could you ally yourself with this traitor? Have you been bewitched by the witch, just like him?"
