After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 59 Shen Xu's Momentum

The appearance of this aura immediately startled all the elders, who quickly withdrew their oppressive power.

As Shen Xu felt the pressure exerted on him by everyone gradually subside, the anger he had been holding in dissipated, and he immediately fainted, lying in front of the bronze gate of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

"You should understand what you've done?" Chen Lian's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water, and his tone was filled with barely suppressed rage.

After he finished speaking, he flashed to Shen Xu's side, picked up Shen Xu, and then disappeared into the Hall of Law Enforcement as a long rainbow.

Jiang Yuanzheng slumped back in his seat, somewhat dazed, while the many black-robed elders rose and looked uneasily in the direction where Chen Lian had disappeared.

"Elder Jiang, what should we do now?" the fat elder asked somewhat flustered.

Jiang Yuanzheng waved his hand, pinching his forehead to indicate that he didn't want to be disturbed. A moment later, he stood up, pulled out the long sword he had stuck in the floor, and disappeared into the Hall of Law Enforcement as a streak of light.

After he left, the many black-robed law enforcement elders scattered like birds and beasts, and the law enforcement hall, which had been tense just moments before, became quiet except for the sound of the clamoring wind.

The many law enforcement disciples seemed to still be reeling from the recent events, and they looked at the empty law enforcement hall with a sense of bewilderment.

"What exactly happened?" This was the first question that popped into the minds of all the law enforcement disciples.

"What about the Bamboo Realm?"

"What Shen Xu is referring to should be the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm! The sect rules stipulate that unless it is an unforgivable crime like killing a fellow disciple, as long as one can pass through the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm, the crime can be wiped clean."

Furthermore, one must enter the Bamboo Realm within three days of making this request. However, since the founding of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, without exception, no disciple who has entered has ever returned.

"No matter the outcome, I admire Shen Xu as a man of unwavering integrity!" Yu Yue couldn't help but exclaim in praise of Shen Xu.

"Senior Brother Yu, be careful with your words. That Shen Xu just cursed almost all the law enforcement elders. He even dared to curse the hall master in front of him. We should avoid contact with such a person to prevent getting into trouble," Zuo Han warned.

"Hmph! If you had suffered the same fate as Shen Xu, facing an unjust verdict from so many elders, would you dare to resist? And could you even resist?"

But if Shen Xu wins this time, and with Shen Xu's example, when you encounter a clearly unfair judgment, would you dare to resist?

Just think of Shen Xu's resolute gaze, so intense it seemed to spit fire—do you dare to resist?

His purpose was not only for himself, but also for us ordinary disciples. He was telling us that even as ordinary disciples, we have the right to pursue fairness.

If we don't even have the courage to resist tyranny, what's the point of practicing swordsmanship?

Just as he said, are the swords of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect only for those high and mighty figures to use, and not for us to use?!

Yu Yue became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he himself were the one facing the oppressive aura of numerous elders alone in the Hall of Law Enforcement.

"Yu Yue, shut up!" Ling Xuan immediately stopped Yu Yue from speaking further, because he noticed that many disciples' eyes looked a little strange after hearing Yu Yue's words.

"Why won't Senior Brother Ling let me speak? Is it because you're one of those big shots who can just swing your sword at us at will?" Yu Yue questioned Ling Xuan with red eyes.

"Yu Yue!!" Ling Xuan shouted sternly upon seeing Yu Yue's performance.

Upon hearing Ling Xuan's roar, the bloodlust in Yu Yue's eyes vanished instantly, and he rubbed his head in a daze.

……

"Old Huang, how badly are the child's injuries?" Chen Lian asked the old man in a room inside the Sutra Repository.

"The injuries are very serious, and he will probably need to rest for a while before he can get out of bed."

"But he has to venture into the Cloud Bamboo Realm in three days. Do you have any way to help him recover as soon as possible?"

"Nonsense! Who told him to venture into the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm!" Old Huang glared angrily at Chen Lian.

"Hisself!" Chen Lian was a little afraid to look into Old Huang's eyes.

"Tell me what exactly happened?" Old Huang asked Chen Lian, who looked flustered, in an unfriendly tone.

"I can't say!"

"Speak!" An immense aura instantly pressed Chen Lian to the ground, making it difficult for him to breathe.

“I said… Mr. Huang, please let me up first.”

In an instant, all the overwhelming aura pressing down on Chen Lian vanished without a trace, and Chen Lian lay on the ground, panting heavily.

After standing up, Chen Lian said somewhat uneasily, "Elder Huang, this is what happened..."

I originally planned to lock this kid up in the dark cell first, and then release him after Jiang Mingcheng woke up or Elder Jiang calmed down. But I didn't expect this kid to be so headstrong.

"Moreover, this kid actually turned misfortune into blessing, as he actually comprehended sword intent under those circumstances!" Chen Lian couldn't help but sigh.

"So you're still doing this for his own good?" Old Huang's cold tone sent a chill down Chen Lian's spine.

"I would suggest that the sect leader replace the head of the Enforcement Hall with someone else, and the Enforcement Hall should also be cleaned up." Old Huang's eyes gradually turned cold.

"What about this kid? He definitely won't come out alive if he enters the Cloud Bamboo Realm in this state."

"I'll ask for his opinion after he wakes up. After all, it's his own choice, and we can't make the decision for him. If he insists on using the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm to clear his name, I won't stop him," Old Huang said gently.

"But this kid has awakened sword intent! In the entire Green Bamboo Sword Sect, only Elder Huang..."

Old Huang reached out to stop Chen Lian from continuing, "It is precisely because I know how rare sword intent is that I will not stop him, because his current sword intent can only be considered a semi-awakened state."

Moreover, according to what you said, his sword aura suddenly erupted after he said he was going to venture into the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm. I guess he had already made up his mind to go to the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm last night.

His sword intent arose from the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm, so if he wants to fully awaken his sword intent, he must break through the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm.

"Is that so?" Chen Lian murmured with some doubt.

"Could we wait until he's fully recovered before going?" Chen Lian couldn't help but ask.

Old Huang shook his head and said, "Power comes from within and outwards; the mind is the most important."

I believe that when he decided to go to the Cloud and Mist Bamboo Realm last night, he also knew that he only had three days to prepare, which means that these three days were within his consideration and within his power.

Sword intent, sword intent—without the unwavering momentum of disregarding life and death, how could one obtain what countless people dream of?
