"The Profound Moon Sword Technique was created by the ancestor of this sect, known throughout the world, what nonsense are you spouting here?"

His expression turning even uglier, the Sword Elder made a slight bow towards the direction of Sword Peak and replied in a deep voice.

"So it isn't after all!"

With a sudden realization in his eyes, Wang Junze showed his sharpness after these questions, filled with contempt as he retorted, "Since it's nothing at all, I dare ask Sword Elder, what qualifications do you have to conclude the Profound Moon Sword Technique, deciding how it should be practiced correctly?"

"Presumptuous! You are too presumptuous!"

Eyes filled with anger, the Sword Elder pointed at Wang Junze and scolded, "Sixty years ago, this old man was already the Dharma Transmission Elder of this sect. Throughout these years, which person in the entire sect has not received my guidance? Do you think this old man has no qualification to decide the correct way to practice the Profound Moon Sword Technique?"

"Just because a rural teacher taught the Four Books and Five Classics his whole life, does it mean... he has the qualification to define the true meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Meeting the Sword Elder's gaze, Wang Junze mocked with contempt.

"How dare you, brat?!"

This sentence almost drove the Sword Elder mad!

What kind of analogy is this?

Comparing him to a rural schoolmaster? How dare he?!

Has he gone mad?!

Not only the Sword Elder, but Wang Junze's words left everybody dumbfounded!

Faced with the Sword Elder's reprimand, Wang Junze did not bow, but instead, retaliated sharply, completely exceeding everyone's expectations.

It's too audacious!

"Indeed, before the Law Enforcement Elder, I am nothing more than a brat!"

With a calm expression, Wang Junze replied composedly, "But who says a brat must be wrong?"

"The Sword Dao is vast and profound. It doesn't matter if you're a brat or an elder; you are all merely people walking on this path." Shaking his head, Wang Junze continued, "The Law Enforcement Elder has spent a life passing on the sword within the sect, certainly deserving of respect, and having made great contributions to this sect. However... you still have no right to define the correct way of Sword Cultivation."

"There are countless sword techniques under the heavens; the Profound Moon Sword Technique is not the only one. Are those who don't practice the Profound Moon Sword Technique unworthy of walking the path of the sword?"

"Similarly! Among the disciples practicing the Profound Moon Sword Technique in the sect, different people should have different understandings of the same sword technique, only then can they find a path in the Sword Dao more suitable for themselves, instead of rigidly adhering to the norm, where everyone's Sword Techniques appear as if cut from the same mold!"

"Just like you look down on the sword techniques I instructed Miao Yu and others, thinking it's a crooked path, yet... did they not just win in the competition just now?"

"..."

This statement immediately rendered the entire Profound Moon Mountain into a dead silence!

If just now, the Sword Elder oppressed with his status and power, making no one dare to defy, making no one dare to utter a sound, then now, Wang Junze, standing with his understanding of Sword Dao, left no room for rebuttal!

"Utter nonsense, sheer nonsense!"

After a brief silence, the Sword Elder was trembling with anger, pointing at Wang Junze, scolding once again, "They merely won by chance against a few inept disciples, how can you say it's their victory?"

"The competition isn't over. If they continue to win... what would the Sword Elder say then?"

With a calm demeanor, Wang Junze inquired once more.

Can Miao Yu and the others continue to win?

Of course, they can!

Having just observed the level of the Inner Sect Disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect, for disciples of the Condensing Realm, Miao Yu and others not only can continue to win, but they are also set to achieve a good rank. Even if they lose, it most likely won't be due to Sword Dao, but because of their own strength or lack of experience in battle.

Not only could Wang Junze see this, but the Sword Elder also saw it as well.

If not, he wouldn't have come out so early to interrupt the competition!

It's because he couldn't stand these so-called crooked and evil sword techniques, that he aimed to stop, to halt this "unfair" competition from continuing.

But now, being pointed out by Wang Junze, it left him somewhat embarrassed instead.

"What's the point of letting them fight?"

Seeing the Sword Elder a bit embarrassed, a disciple immediately stood out, voicing out sternly, "Wang Junze, do you dare to battle me?"

The Sword Elder's standing is not just high, but many disciples, not just Inner Sect Disciples, True Disciples, and even Sect Elders, are under the Sword Elder's line.

The one stepping out now is an Inner Sect Disciple.

However, the cultivation is not Condensing Truth but is at the Refining Spirit, and... even among the Inner Sect, one of the strongest individuals!

"Who is this junior brother?"

His gaze fell upon the other, Wang Junze could immediately discern the identity of an Inner Sect Disciple from the attire, asking calmly.

In terms of cultivation, the other is definitely not below Wang Junze, even reaching the Peak of God Refining, but as long as they are still an Inner Sect Disciple, they must call Wang Junze 'Senior Brother'.

"Inner Sect Disciple Li Bo, seeks guidance from Brother Wang!"

Stepping forward, Li Bo spoke in a deep voice, simultaneously unsheathing his sword at his waist.

Theoretically, Wang Junze could refuse the challenge, but the situation had evolved to the point where he simply couldn't, otherwise, everything he had done and said before would become a joke.

Moreover, Wang Junze had no intention of refusing.

"Will defeating you prove that what I'm saying is right?"

Smiling slightly, Wang Junze did not immediately accept the challenge, but questioned back.

"Of course not!"

Slightly hesitating, Li Bo still maintained his calmness and said, "You are a True Inheritor, and I am merely an Inner Disciple; I challenge you only to disdain your disrespect towards elders. My Sword Dao means nothing; defeating me doesn't mean you are right, but if you lose, you must kneel and beg the Sword Elder's forgiveness."

"Ha, so why should I accept this?"

Wang Junze was amused by this and calmly responded, "As you said, I gain nothing from winning, but if I lose, I have to kneel and apologize, where's the fairness in that?"

This statement left Li Bo speechless. He had been solely focused on safeguarding the Sword Elder's reputation regardless of his own win or loss, only to have Wang Junze seize upon his words.

Wang Junze disregarded him, instead turning his gaze back towards the crowd, saying calmly, "Anyone else who thinks I'm wrong, and the Sword Elder is right, feel free to step forward."

"I!"

"I!"

"And me too!"

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, several disciples stood up; some were disciples under the Sword Elder, while others bore no relation to the Sword Elder at all, simply stepping out because of the Sword Elder's status, hoping to curry favor, just to see if they could ingratiate themselves to the Sword Elder.

In the blink of an eye, there were actually twenty to thirty Inner Sect Disciples who stood out.
