The Strongest Sect of All Times

Chapter 49: enemies always meet

Sect Head Jun, words cannot be spoken so irresponsibly! You should not go around casually impersonating a hero!

Sect Head Jun, many people have impersonated the hero these days. Everyone was investigated without exception and thrown into prison, some were even beheaded.

Sect Head Jun, listen to this Li. I urge you to go back, dont go to the city lords mansion.

Tah!

Jun Changxiao stopped him from speaking more and solemnly said, Patriarch Li, this Lord will say it one more time, the Black Wind Stronghold was eliminated by me!

Patriarch Li continued and said, Lets first ignore the Black Wind Strongholds chiefs strength. Just the easy-to-guard and hard-to-attack stronghold, how did Sect Head Jun destroy it?

I

Jun Changxiao was silent. 

Even if he explained himself, the other would not believe him. Why should he waste time on this argument?

Patriarch Li said, Sect Head Jun, if you want to receive the reward, you must have proof that it was you who destroyed the bandits. Otherwise, rashly going to the city lords stronghold will be disastrous.

The man was sincerely trying to persuade him.

Moreover, there were rumors that the city lord was upset because so many people had tried to impersonate the hero. If Sect Head Jun barged in, his fate would definitely be unfortunate. 

Hes right. How can I prove that it was me? Jun Changxiao pondered over this question. 

Suddenly, his eyes shone brightly. Patriarch Li, this Lord can produce the evidence.

What evidence?

Dont ask, just guide me there.

Seeing that he had promised so seriously, Patriarch Li was a little more convinced. Could it be that the Black Wind Stronghold was really destroyed by him? No way, thats impossible!

The city lords mansion in Qingyang City was located at the end of the citys main street. It was a mansion with an imposing aura, and whose entrance was guarded by two stone lions. 

Sect Head Jun, we can still back out.

Patriarch Li had guided Jun Changxiao over, but had not given up on persuading him. 

Jun Changxiao was disinclined to answer and strided through the mansion gates.

Halt. An armed guard raised his hand and shouted, State your name and purpose.

Jun Changxiao stood with his hands behind his back. Please report to the city lord that the Ironbone Unyielding Sects Sect Leader is visiting.

Patriarch Li was standing off to the side and felt a weight sliding off his chest. Sect Head Jun did not mention the reward. It seems like he was joking earlier.

Right?

The leader of a sect should never impersonate another. This was not only a matter of deception, but also a loss of dignity. 

You are the Ironbone Sects sect head? The armed guard's smile seemed to be taunting as he said, The city lord has a ruling, he will not see people from sects below eighth-grade, unless he has summoned them.

Jun Changxiao knit his brows. 

Even the guard was supercilious; the way of this world was really cruel. 

Shua!

He brought out the notice and said, Tell the city lord, this Jun is here to receive the reward.

Patriarch Li was astonished. Sect Head Jun even grabbed the notice!

He hadnt noticed it, neither did the cultivators from before. It wasnt until now that he realized Jun Changxiao had grabbed the notice right off the wall!

The armed guard was disbelieving. Did you eliminate the Black Wind Stronghold? Dont speak nonsense.

Jun Changxiao calmly replied, Quickly notify the city lord.

The armed guard sneered, Boy, you should realize that my notification will lead to the disaster of imprisonment.

Dont worry about it, Jun Changxiao said. 

The guard shook his head. Cats and dogs are here to impersonate the hero, which is still excusable. But even the leader of a dignified sect is doing this kind of thing, it really is insanity.

As he spoke, he walked into the mansion. 

After a while, the guard came back. Go in.

Jun Changxiao stepped forward and entered the mansion. As he passed, he whispered, Do you know what a watchdog is? Its someone who has a pair of dog-shit eyes.

You glowered the guard.

Jun Changxiao flicked his sleeves as he left. Should have honestly worked as a gatekeeper, but just had to act as a watchdog.

What a hateful fellow. The guard burned with anger and sneered, This fellow, who is about to have it handed to him, still has the guts to criticize others.

Jun Changxiao walked into the mansion. 

The outer courtyard of the mansion was grander than the Ironbone Sects, as it was neatly paved with precious minerals and stones. 

The front also had a training area, with pavilions for resting on both sides, shining in resplendent gold and green jade.

Jun Changxiao touched his nose, commenting, Just wait until I have more money, Ill make the sect even more impressive than the city lords.

Ambitious.

From the main hall in front, a middle-aged man stepped out. 

He wore brocade robes and had an impressive bearing, his whole body screaming that he was a man of high-rank. 

On the way here, Patriarch Li had told Jun Changxiao about the city lords characteristics, so Jun Changxiao humbly greeted, Ironbone Unyielding Sects Sect Head Jun Changxiao greets City Lord Xie. 

Haha. City Lord Xie spoke with an honest smile, This City Lord has heard about you since the Hundred Sects Recruitment a month ago. Unfortunately, I was in closed-door cultivation and could not invite Sect Head Jun over for a chat.

It seemed that the words were amiable, but they seemed to put pressure on Jun Changxiao. How strong is he?

The system said, [Stronger than the Azure Mountain Sects elder.]

Martial Ancestor? No wonder theres pressure.

Sect Head Jun. City Lord Xie turned slightly, smiling, Come inside.

Jun Changxiao walked into the main hall. He didnt pause, but he felt two severely hostile stares piercing into him. 

Looking to the side, he saw two middle-aged men. 

Sect Head Jun, City Lord Xie introduced them. These two are Spirit Spring Sect elders. On the right is Wei Yiai, on the left is Wei Yile.

Oh shit.

Jun Changxiao smiled and said, So it is two elders from the Spirit Spring Sect. Greetings, greetings.

Hmph. Wei Yile and Wei Yiai snorted coldly. 

Their Fourth Brother had an arm cut off by this boy, so naturally, their expressions were not good. 

Jun Changxiao did not mind and looked for a seat to sit. He stroked his storage ring. Enemies always meet in a narrow alley; youre not considered enemies if you dont meet.

These two elders were hating him, but Sect Head Jun also despised the Spirit Spring Sect. The Black Wind Stronghold had kidnapped Ironbone Sect disciples, but had been instigated by the Spirit Spring Sect. 

Sect Head Jun. City Lord Xie spoke with a smile. According to the guard, you are here to receive the reward?

Correct. Jun Changxiao took out the notice. 

Hmph, snorted Wei Yiai. Sect Head Jun can eliminate the Black Wind Stronghold with his abilities Isnt that a fools dream?

In my opinion, Sect Head Jun must be short on money, therefore impersonating the hero to get the reward, Wei Yile said, just like a person with a kind face and cruel heart. 

Attacking me?

Jun Changxiao was about to reciprocate in kind when City Lord Xie suddenly spoke, Sect Head Jun, how will you prove that you eliminated the Black Wind Stronghold?

Jun Changxiao said, I wont conceal the facts, City Lord Xie. This Jun climbed the mountains by himself and destroyed the stronghold of more than 200 bandits by himself there. There are no eyewitnesses.

City Lord Xies expression became gloomy. 

Every cultivator that was here to receive the reward used this excuse. When he investigated them one by one, all of them were lying. 

There are no eyewitnesses, so there is no testimonial proof. Wei Yiai humbly gave his opinion on the matter: City Lord Xie, he is just here to deceive you.

Wei Yile echoed the sentiment. A leader of a dignified sect has done something inconceivable to the people of Jianghu. To be a part of the Hundred Sects Alliance we are losing face.

Two fools, Jun Changxiao muttered softly. 

Pah!

Wei Yiai and Wei Yile angrily smacked their armrests. Boy, I dare you to say that again!

Jun Changxiao paid no attention to them, turning with a smile. City Lord Xie, this Jun does not have eyewitnesses to bring, but I can take out an item as proof.

What is it? asked City Lord Xie. 

Jun Changxiao made a swiping motion and a heavy, long sabre appeared in front of him. On it was an inscription of a green dragon roaming through the skies. 

City Lord Xie was astonished. Zhou Tianbas Azure Dragon Naginata! [1]

[1] The raws use . A (ti dao) is a naginata, which is a curved, single-edged blade traditionally used by samurai during feudal Japan
