Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion Chapter 56 - Observe the sword, observe the people, and observe our hearts

Chapter 56: Observe the sword, observe the people, and observe our hearts

It was still a mission book.

However, this mission book was brand new. It was obvious that it had been issued recently.

“Read it to him.” Luo Tian nodded at Han Muye.

Han Muye stepped forward and picked up the mission book.

“Nine Mystic Sword Sect inner sect disciple, Luo Tian, has completed the demon hunting mission. He has killed an escaped fox demon in the Blazing Demon Valley. He will be rewarded with 30 merit points.”

Han Muye read the words from the mission book.

Luo Tian snorted and said, “There won’t be any problems this time, right? This mission was only completed last month.”

Huang Six sat there with an ugly expression.

As a Sword Caretaker, if people respected you, they would treat you politely like a senior brother.

If they looked down on you, you would be worse than a servant in the sect.

The person in front of him looked down on the Sword Caretakers.

Han Muye held the mission book and said indifferently, “The demon beasts that escaped from the Blazing Demon Valley back then?”

“This mission is not easy to complete.”

During lunch, Lu Gao and Huang Six talked about the battle in the Blazing Demon Valley.

The Blazing Demon Valley was 40,000 kilometers south of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, and there were great demons occupying it.

This place was already very far from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s mountain gate, and it was at the border of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect. The Sword Sect’s control was almost nonexistent there.

That place was considered a no man’s land.

For hundreds of years, those demons who had cultivated well had gathered in the Blazing Demon Valley and caused a huge commotion.

Among them, there was also the support of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect, which was ranked third among the four major sword sects.

it was until more than ten years ago, when the Blazing Demon Valley killed the disciples of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, which provoked the Nine Mystic Sword Sect to take revenge.

During the battle with the Blazing Demon Valley, the Great Elder, who had formed a demon core, was severely injured, the disciples of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect were trapped in the Blazing Demon Valley, and the elite elders of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect were killed.

In this battle, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect had gained the glory of the human race and humiliated the Great Spiritual Sword Sect, causing their reputation to decrease greatly and being overtaken by the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

However, in such a battle, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect naturally paid a huge price.

And the remaining troubles had not subsided for the next ten years.

In the 10,000-kilometer radius of the Blazing Demon Valley, the fleeing demons had all kinds of defection, making the Sword Sect exhausted to fight.

It was too far for the whip to reach.

If they mobilised an army, it would be equivalent to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

If a small number of disciples went, those demons might be able to take advantage of their abilities and familiarity with the terrain.

As a last resort, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect issued a demon hunting mission. As long as the disciples of the sect or sect under their rule killed the demon beasts, they would be rewarded with merit points.

Just like the recent mission to kill Qin Yuanhe.

Demon hunting missions were long-term and rather dangerous. Over the years, not many people were willing to accept them, and not many could complete them.

Although Luo Tian was an inner sect disciple, it was not something that could be completed just like that.

A demon fox’s cultivation and combat strength were not bad.

“Hmph, the time in the mission book is correct, right?” Luo Tian turned to look at the rows of wooden shelves impatiently, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

“If there’s no mistake, I’m going to choose a sword.”

Han Muye pinched the mission book and nodded. “That’s right. Go choose.”

Huang Six said nothing.

The Sword Caretaker could make things difficult for the disciple, but since he had come prepared, he had no choice.

“You’re much more sensible than this old thing, kid.”

Luo Tian sneered and grabbed the mission book in front of Huang Six. Then he strode towards the wooden shelf.

He did not stop at the wooden shelf beside him.

None of the swords caught his eye.

Huang Six frowned and stood up.

Han Muye shook his head.

A moment later, Luo Tian walked back to the long table with a sword in his hand.

“I’ll take this sword.”

Seeing the sword in his hand, Huang Six’s expression was strange. He pondered for a moment and grinned. “Alright, alright. Take this sword.”

Luo Tian turned to leave, but Han Muye suddenly spoke.

“Wait a minute. We haven’t finished the sword-collecting procedure.”

He walked to the long table and opened the book. Then he reached out and said, “Bring me the sword.”

‘There’s still procedure to complete?’

Luo Tian frowned and handed the sword to Han Muye impatiently.

Han Muye held the sword, placed one hand on the long table, and flipped open the book with the other. “The inner sect disciple, Luo Tian, wants to receive this sword as his personal sword, right?”

Luo Tian nodded.

Han Muye spread out the book and looked up. “What about your previous sword?”

“Unless you are out on a mission, inner sect disciples have to hand over the sword they received previously. Have you heard of this rule?”

Luo Tian’s face stiffened.

He had heard this rule before.

However, not many people really followed this rule.

An ordinary sword was of ordinary value, but it could be exchanged for more than 10 to 20 spiritual rocks.

The swords carried by inner sect disciples were not cheap, especially those mixed with spiritual materials. Each one cost thousands of spiritual rocks.

Once many people had a chance to receive a new sword, they would immediately dispose of their previous swords.

The sect turned a blind eye to this matter.

Those who dared to do so were fearless.

But now that Han Muye was serious, he had no choice.

“I didn’t bring my sword. How about I send the sword over tomorrow?” Looking at Han Muye, Luo Tian forced a smile and handed over a merit token.

He could even earn money from this!

Huang Six turned to look at Han Muye.

This kid was really talented. He could earn from anyone who came to receive the sword!

Lu Gao, who was sticking his head out at the door, had admiration in his eyes.

He had finally witnessed Senior Brother Han’s methods.

It was difficult for such a person not to become rich.

Han Muye turned to give Huang Six a look.

Huang Six reached out and took the merit token.

Han Muye smiled and slowly raised his hand from the sword.

Luo Tian heaved a sigh of relief and reached for the sword.

Bam!

Han Muye suddenly slapped his hand down and held the sword down. He looked at Luo Tian coldly.

“An inner sect disciple, Luo Tian, has destroyed a sword for no reason. He is not allowed to enter the Sword Pavilion for three years. Three years later, he will have to pay double the merit points for the sword.”

“The Sword Pavilion has a record of this.”

“Didn’t the person who came to help you exchange your sword make it clear to you?”

Han Muye stared at Luo Tian with a faint sternness in his eyes.

“You’re not qualified to receive a sword. You trespa.s.sed into the Sword Pavilion. Go to the Law Enforcement Hall and receive your punishment.”

In front of the Sword Pavilion gates, Lu Gao’s mouth fell open.

Huang Six held the merit token in his hand and looked confused.

Luo Tian, who had been arrogant previously, had gone from being a sword receiver to barging into the Sword Pavilion.

This instantaneous change was all under Han Muye’s control.

It was a sudden turn out of events!

Luo Tian’s face turned red and white, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

His gaze moved away from the sword in Han Muye’s hand, and then his eyes revealed cold killing intent as he stared into Han Muye’s eyes.

“Great, great, you’re really awesome.”

Gritting his teeth, he reached for the mission book for hunting fox demons.

Han Muye reached out and pressed it down. He said calmly, “When you go to the Law Enforcement Hall and receive your punishment, you can take this thing.”

Luo Tian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He stepped back and left the Sword Pavilion. Then he turned and strode away.

Only then did Lu Gao take a deep breath.

Was this the role of a Sword Caretaker?

Huang Six looked at Han Muye and looked at the sword in his hand. Then he muttered, “Actually, let him take this sword. Anyway, this sword will return soon.”

This sword was the sword of the eighth-ranked outer sect disciple, Ji Yuan.

It was also the one taken by the inner sect disciple, Su Yang.

It was the one that Zhu Guangsheng had just sent back.

It was the same one that had almost killed Han Muye.

If Luo Tian received this sword, he would most likely die.

Han Muye stood up, shook his head, took the sword and the mission book, and turned toward the stairs of the Sword Pavilion.

“I’ll go see the elder.”

At this point, he paused and said, “Luo Tian is arrogant, but he doesn’t necessarily deserve to die.”

“Even if he deserved to die, he shouldn’t have died at the hands of this sword.”

“Besides, since we know that this sword is evil, we shouldn’t let him take it away.”

“We are the Sword Caretakers. It is our duty.”

“Observe the sword, the people, and our hearts.”

With that, he started up the stairs.

Watching him go upstairs, Huang Six had a complicated expression on his face. In the end, he sighed and said, “No wonder the elder taught you the Sword Nurturing Technique.”

“You’re the one who’s qualified to be in charge of the Sword Pavilion…”
