At this moment, Liu Caidie laughed and said, "Brother Chen still has the best connections. Now that we’ve borrowed Master Jue Mie’s sword, this time there’s a real possibility we might break Master Kong Wen’s Golden Bell Shield."

Han Ling’er also had a smile on her face, and she promptly looked at Du Xiong and said, "Du Xiong, didn’t you say Brother Chen couldn’t win? Now with this Jade Maiden Sword, tell me again who would lose and who would win?"

Du Xiong frowned upon hearing this. Although the Ninth Layer Golden Bell Shield is incredibly formidable, faced with the world’s number one sword, Du Xiong was uncertain. Even though the Golden Bell Shield is impervious to spears, whether it can withstand the world’s number one sword is still a mystery.

It’s just like that classic story, self-contradiction, what happens when you use your spear against your shield?

Without an official encounter, it’s really difficult to judge which is superior!

For a moment, Du Xiong was rendered speechless. Not only Du Xiong felt uncertain, but also the crowd present was filled with uncertainty, including Master Kong Wen. He didn’t expect Emei to suddenly turn against them and offer the Jade Maiden Sword at this time.

Can the world’s sharpest sword pierce the world’s strongest defense?

Unknown, everything is unknown!

This made Master Kong Wen’s heart uneasy, with no assurance, yet he had already boasted earlier, claiming that no matter what kind of attack, whether it be chopping or hacking, as long as within three moves, he would endure it. Even if they now hold the Jade Maiden Sword, he has nothing more to say!

Master Kong Wen also had a bit of bitterness he couldn’t express.

Actually, Chen Jie also didn’t expect Master Jue Mie to consider lending him the Jade Maiden Sword at this moment. Looking at the world’s number one sword so close in front of him, Chen Jie was genuinely tempted. He too was curious about what would happen when the world’s sharpest sword attempts to pierce the strongest defense skill.

However, Chen Jie ultimately restrained his curiosity. After all, he still has more important things to do now.

And it wasn’t about really wanting Master Kong Wen dead, or rather Chen Jie didn’t want to achieve victory in an unworthy manner. Moreover, whether the Jade Maiden Sword can pierce Master Kong Wen’s golden body remains an unknown!

Chen Jie had already decided against it, but at that moment, he heard someone shout loudly, "Master Jue Mie, what are you doing!"

The voice was filled with energy, exerting a strong presence on the crowd.

Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn towards the source of the voice, where they saw a burly bald man. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

This bald man was even half a head taller than Master Kong Wen, with a shiny bald head, yet sporting a full beard that appeared very fierce. This person was another skilled monk accompanying them from Shaolin, from the Arhat Hall, named Kong Xiang!

At this moment, Kong Xiang glared with anger at Master Jue Mie and shouted, "Master Jue Mie, our Shaolin and Emei both belong to the Shi Family, essentially brothers and sisters, and furthermore, our Shaolin has always treated your Emei with respect, without offending you."

"Why are you doing such harm to our Shaolin today, lending your sword to Chen Jiusi to harm my senior brother? Are you trying to break your ties with us Shaolin?"

Kong Xiang’s voice was thick and each sentence was questioning strongly, with the surrounding Jianghu comrades also nodding repeatedly. This move by Emei was without justification, lending the sword at this moment really offended Shaolin deeply!

Master Jue Mie heard the discussions around her, frowned but said nothing.

At this moment, Ji Xiaohong, who was with Master Jue Mie, couldn’t help but want to speak, but just as she was about to voice her reprimand, Master Jue Mie began to speak: "I, Jue Mie, have always acted fairly and justly, clearly distinguishing between gratitude and grievances. Kong Xiang, you asked well, both our sects are family friends. According to reason, I should help you, even if not, I shouldn’t undermine you."

"But our Emei is a sect that clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grievances. This Chen Shaohua once saved our Emei line while in Wushen Valley, a life-saving grace that our Emei shall never forget. Today, I, Jue Mie, must repay that old kindness by lending the sword to Chen Shaohua. Therefore, if any disputes arise, our Emei Sect will take full responsibility and absolutely not involve others!"

Master Jue Mie spoke decisively, with the Shaolin disciples including Kong Xiang glaring in anger one by one, and those around were also shocked. This Master Jue Mie was indeed daring, actually standing against Shaolin for a single Chen Jiusi, that’s no light friendship!

What was Chen Jie’s reaction upon hearing Master Jue Mie’s words?

The answer is simple; it was moving, genuinely moving! From the beginning, Chen Jie knew Master Jue Mie’s decisive nature.

And what’s the characteristic of being decisive? That is going to extremes, if not one extreme, then to another. In other words, if someone is good to you, they are genuinely good to you, heart and soul. But if they have prejudices against you, it doesn’t matter if you’re the best person in the world, she wouldn’t look at you.

No matter if you become the Ming Sect Hierarch, in her eyes, you can’t compare to an ordinary female disciple of Emei.

That is Master Jue Mie, and such a person is quite controllable for Chen Jie. As long as he maintains a good image before her and makes her think he’s excellent, then he can gain her support and consequently advantages.

Like what you witness today, to help him, Master Jue Mie dares to confront the Shaolin Sect forcefully. Could any ordinary sect dare to do this?

He indeed has good relations with Wudang, but can you ask anyone from Wudang whether they’re willing to fiercely confront Shaolin for him?
