Daily life of a cultivation judge-Chapter 925: Man and sword (2)

"Having already reached my goal, I decided to make my way back to the sect, and in that excitement, I decided to use my sword to fly back so I could travel back faster than I would if I flew normally.

That decision was something I grew to regret not a moment later. As I crossed over the skies of the Red Maple Empire, two figures stopped me. Those two figures are right here.." Jiang Huang coldly said as his callous gaze fell on the target of his ire.

"The two people were the snivelling Lin Duyi over there, and that old thief, Yao De.." he added.

Lin Duyi almost retaliated to being called sniveling before he immediately shrunk back when he felt Yang Qing’s gaze on him. Cai Hong on the other hand didn’t hide her displeasure.

"Be careful how you call my son, old man," Cai Hong coldly said.

With Lei Weiyuan and Hou Dehui present, she could only be restricted to displaying her threats verbally.

Without the presence of the two domain experts, or the suppressive arrays and restraining measures in the courtroom, as a domain expert, she would have had more efficient ways to shut Jiang Huang up than just using words and her unconcealed displeasure.

Her target on the other hand didn’t seem like he could care less as he chuckled without care. Jiang Huang did indeed not care one bit what Cai Hong thought about him.

If it wasn’t because he had to give the Order face and respect, he would have called Lin Duyi worse, in fact, he had done exactly that countless times in his dreams, and other times even when awake. There were days he would just spend the whole night and day cursing his entire lineage till his throat ran dry and coughed up blood.

He could care less about the domain expert’s threats and what she could or could not do to him. Death at this point would be a release for him, after all, her son had already sent him halfway there, and it was the reason he was in so much torment, her family might as well clean up after their son and finish off what he left partly done.

But first, he had to drag them through the mud and annoy them as much as he could.

"That palace realm child and his lackey over there stopped me as I was flying over Red Maple Empire. They accused me of being a spy from the Five Clovers Kingdom infiltrating the Empire for nefarious reasons.

We all knew how preposterous the claim was because if I was one, I would not have been flying as openly as I was.

They just made up a reason to stop me. Their real target was my sword. The young master over there saw it and took a greedy liking to it. It isn’t anything special having been made from the ocean heartstone and mist vein jade.

The materials may be monarch-grade materials but they were low-tier ones, which shouldn’t be something the young scion should covet, with his background and all, though considering the thieving company he keeps, who knows what habits he may have picked up.." Jiang Huang said as he smiled with a sardonic maddening look to him which only grew when he saw the effect it was having on Cai Hong.

After having a little fun, Jiang Huang’s demeanor turned cold an instant later.

"Those two robbed me of my sword. The young one over there said he admired my sword, I said thank you trying to play dumb, unaware of what he was alluding to.

Unwilling to let me continue with the little dance, he became direct with his approach and said he wasn’t complimenting my sword but rather hoped to deliver it from the hands of mediocrity.

A pompous silkpants trying to sound righteous when he was nothing but a thief.." he said as he cast a look of disdain toward Lin Duyi whose body was shaking with anger but too helpless to do anything about it.

"As to why he had taken a shine to my sword, it was simple, after years of nurturing it, its spirit was almost fully formed, and as you well know if one was to usurp an artifact with an owner, the best moment for it was when it was just about to full form its awareness.

It was like a snake transferring its eggs over a bird’s nest, eating that bird’s eggs, and dropping off its eggs there to have that bird incubate those eggs for it. I reared and nurtured the sword, and when it was ripe for harvest, Lin Duyi and Yao De swooped in.

Being confronted by two palace realm experts I had no option but to agree to their demands, and that sniveling bastard even had the nerve to have me thank him for it," Jiang Huang said as he gnashed his teeth.

"I had nurtured that sword since I was fourteen years old. It was a gift to me from my master. It may not have been my natal weapon, but having nurtured it for over a thousand years with my soul, insight, and every bit of essence I had, it was no different from one.

So handing over the sword to another person wasn’t just as simple as handing over a weapon. They erased my soul imprint and essence right then and there, which was the equivalent of tearing off a part of my soul, which effectively had a rebounding effect on me and terminated my chance at reaching the palace realm.

What would you tell someone who robbed you of your life in more ways than one? What would you say to them?

What you both did was no different than those blood-fiend cultivators who refine and consume the blood, life, and cultivation realms of their victims. The only difference is the gory details involved. You can sanitize what you did, and even call it righteous, but you both are no different than them, and as such you and all those in association with you need to be destroyed just like a blood fiend cultivator would.."
