Chapter 896 Senile


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    The bell tolled nine times, each chime setting off a powerful reverberation throughout Sword King Hall.


    That was originally a rule within Sword King Sect.


    All the mentees of the Three Sword Sects who had rushed over to witness this scene were utterly


    shocked. They couldn’t help but wonder if Rodney had gone mad. Or is he nning a rebellion?


    Everyone really couldn’t understand what Rodney was trying to do.

    As the third chime of the bell sounded under Rodney’s hand, Caden was about to intervene. However,


    he was stopped by Devon standing beside him, who said, “The bell has already been rung. Let’s see


    what he intends to do before we rush to punish him.”


    Only then did Caden manage to hold back.


    Dong!


    As the final reverberation of the great gong subsided, Rodney finally emerged slowly from Sword King


    Hall. He faced the countless mentees of the Three Sword Sects with an air of indifference, yet he


    remained silent.


    It seemed as though he was waiting for someone.


    Finally, Caden could no longer contain the rage in his heart. He suddenly roared, “Rodney, who gave


    you the right to ring the bell left by Sword King? Have you lost your f*cking mind?”


    Rodney was an elder of Spirit Sword Sect. His audacity to ring Sword King’s bell was not only a sign of


    disrespect toward Heavenly Sword King, but it was also a direct affront to him, the leader of Spirit


    Sword Sect.


    The former, Caden, didn’t care, as he had long since lost his respect for Heavenly Sword King.


    1/3


    What he cared about was thetter.


    The bell that even the leader of Spirit Sword Sect dared not strike was rung by Rodney. Hence, it was a


    direct affront to Caden.


    Naturally, Caden was enraged.


    He was so furious that he had resorted to using profanity.


    Rodney broke his silence, casting a casual nce at Caden. He said, “If I had the audacity to ring the


    bell, it’s because I had the blessing of the sect leader of Sword King Sect.”


    “When did I give the blessing-”


    Just as Caden was about to curse Rodney for losing his mind, he suddenly noticed something and his


    voice abruptly stopped.


    What Rodney had just mentioned was Sword King Sect, not Spirit Sword Sect.


    Indeed, during the time when Sword King Sect was still intact, one could only ring the Great Bell after


    being granted authority by the sect leader.


    However, the reality is that Sword King Sect was already disintegrated into Three Sword Sects. Each of


    these three sects now has its own leader, so where could a leader of the now non–existent Sword King


    Sect possiblye from? Caden thought Rodney had lost his mind,


    All the mentees of the sword sect were utterly baffled.


    After a moment of stunned silence, Caden continued to berate, “Rodney, it seems you’re getting on in


    years, bing senile. Do you still think you’re living decades ago? Given the circumstances, it seems


    you no longer have the capability to fulfill your duties as an elder of Spirit Sword Sect. Perhaps it’s best


    for you to step down and take a rest.”


    “He was talking about me.”


    No sooner had Caden’s voice faded than another voice echoed through the hall. A masked youth


    emerged slowly from Sword King Hall, undeterred by the surrounding crowd that was so dense that not


    even water could pass through.


    “Isn’t that Sword King’s inheritor?”


    Everyone gasped in surprise.


    Even though Emrys‘ mask had changed color at that moment, the style remained the


    2/3


    same. Therefore, everyone recognized him instantly. He was Tigger, Sword King’s inheritor.


    Ruben discarded the half–mask he held, one he hadn’t had time to put down. His face lit


    up


    with joy as he eximed, “Ha! So it’s you, Mr. Griffins! I can’t believe you’re alive. This is wonderful!”


    Peter was also overwhelmed with excitement, shouting, “Tigger!”


    Emrys looked at them, giving a slight nod of acknowledgement.


    Caden and Ruben, on the other hand, had their faces stiffened, clearly disying an expression of


    disbelief. How on earth did this guy manage to stay alive? Didn’t those people we had sent out before


    im to have witnessed him being torn to shreds by Rodney?


    The two of them nced around simultaneously, only then noticing that several of the elders had


    quietly shifted in the direction of Sword King Hall. It was clear that they had conspired with Rodney to


    support Emrys.


    “D*mn it! I’ve fallen into Rodney’s trap!” Caden cursed under his breath, seething with anger. He could


    never have anticipated that Rodney actually wielded such immense influence. He had managed to


    convince all the elders of the sword sects who had been dispatched to hunt down Emrys, to lie in


    unison with him.
