Chapter 5593David glanced at the man, who was dressed in a blue robe and carried a sword—a very common sight in Sword Saint City.“I see these Sword Sect disciples swaggering around, so I thought I’d go over and say something!”“I wonder why this fellow Daoist is stopping me?”David asked, puzzled.These Sword Sect disciples swaggering around like this wasn’t a good thing.After all, this was Sword Saint City, Li Chunfeng’s territory. Although Li Chunfeng treated the Sword Sect well because of him, he couldn’t overstep his bounds.“These are Sword Guards, maintaining order in Sword Saint City. If you get too close, they might just give you a sword strike,”the man said.“Sword Guards?” David looked puzzled. “Isn’t this Sword Saint City? Isn’t the city lord Li Chunfeng? Since when did we need Sword Sect disciples to maintain order?”Hearing David’s words, the man looked him up and down, smiling faintly. “How long has it been since you last visited Sword Saint City?”“A while!” David replied truthfully.“Sword Saint City is now Sword Sect territory. City Lord Li is traveling around, focusing on cultivation.”“The Sword Sect is very powerful now, and many people come to join.”“Do you also want to join the Sword Sect?”the man asked.David was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Li Chunfeng to give the entire Sword Saint City to the Sword Sect.Although he was also a disciple of the Sword Sect, Li Chunfeng’s gesture was far too extravagant.Seeing that David remained silent, the man continued, “To become a disciple of the Sword Sect, strength alone isn’t enough; you also need connections.”“See these sword guards? To become one of these order-maintaining sword guards, it’s impossible without at least 100,000 immortal stones.”“And you also need someone above you to help you grease palms…”“Joining the Sword Sect requires bribes?” David was completely dumbfounded. The rightful source is FindN0vel.netHe knew that when he saw the Sword Sect in Sword Saint City, it was nearly destroyed, with few disciples, few resources, and no one wanting to join. Buthow long had it been? So many people wanted to join, and they even needed connections and bribes?noveldrama“Of course you need to bribe! Let me tell you, in the Fifth Heaven, Sword Saint City is the strongest, and within Sword Saint City, the Sword Sect is the strongest.” “A disciple named David from the Sword Sect led the destruction of Divine Sword Manor, and since then, no one in the Fifth Heaven can surpass the Sword Sect’s strength.”“That’s why so many people are rushing to join the Sword Sect, pulling strings and finding connections everywhere.”The man became increasingly excited, as if he too had experienced the destruction of Divine Sword Manor.“Fellow Daoist, do you know David?” David asked with a slight smile.“Of course I know him, but David is elusive. After destroying the Divine Sword Manor, he never appeared again.”“I was fortunate enough to see him once, and he was indeed different from ordinary people.”“David was nearly three zhang tall, and his sword was over ten zhang long and weighed thirty-six thousand jin.”“With a single sword strike, he wiped out all the experts of the Divine Sword Manor, even cleaving a gap in the void.”The man described vividly, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.Hearing the man’s words, David laughed, a very happy laugh.Although he knew the man was exaggerating, David felt pleased.“Fellow Daoist, I never expected you to have seen David. So, are you also a disciple of the Sword Sect?”David asked!The man was taken aback, then said somewhat awkwardly, “No, joining the Sword Sect requires 10,000 immortal stones. Although I have enough, I don’t have any connections, and I can’t find anyone to introduce me, so I can’t join at all.”“Does everyone have to pay immortal stones and rely on connections to join the Sword Sect?” David asked in surprise.
