"It's simple. Apologize and make amends to me."

Chu Kuangren said casually.

The Sword Tribe Leader looked grim when he heard that. "Are you kidding me? Because of you, the Sword Tribe's Daoist is dead while Swordsman Mei and Jian Changfeng have betrayed us. We've also lost our right to fight for a spot on the Emperor's Throne. Even the Tempest Sword Sovereign is dead. Despite all of this, you want us to apologize to you?"

The last few sentences were uttered with a grunt.

The Sword Tribe had suffered too great of a loss because of Chu Kuangren.

They had lost their outlawed sky-pride and also a few of their top-notched sky-prides. Even their strongest Sword Sovereign died at the hands of Chu Kuangren.

Yet, Chu Kuangren still came to the Sword Tribe and demanded that they make amends to him?!

As an archaic ancient orthodoxy, no one had ever dared to provoke the Sword Tribe since ancient times, so they had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Was I the one who asked the Sword Tribe to provoke me? You're clearly in the wrong, yet you have the guts to be so confident. Hmph, what a joke."

Chu Kuangren's gaze turned cold.

With a clang, his Descendant Self Sword from his waist immediately unsheathed itself.

A purple sword ray shot into the sky and landed on the Sword Tribe's defensive formation.

The mega formation composed of sword qi started to tremble violently under the might of that attack. After a while, it shattered into pieces!

The Sword Tribe's mega formation was destroyed!

With the mega formation's destruction, a barrage of sword qi swept out in all directions, and the whole of Sword Tribe's territory was torn into pieces.

An incomparably terrifying surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme instantly swept through the entire Sword Tribe's territory. The swords of every sword cultivator started trembling as if they were trying to tell their masters of the fear and horror they felt.

"Now, I shall teach you what it means to admit your wrongdoings and accept your punishment!" Chu Kuangren snorted before his figure disappeared in a flash. The moment he reappeared before the Sword Tribe Leader, Chu Kuangren's Descendant Self Sword was held against the Sword Tribe Leader's neck.

The Sword Tribe Leader could not retaliate at all as his Sword Dao had been completely suppressed by Chu Kuangren!

With his Ultimate Dao and the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, no sword cultivators in the whole Emperor Road would dare hold their sword against the likes of Chu Kuangren.

This included the Sword Tribe that specialized in Sword Dao!

Gulp…

The Sword Tribe Leader could not help but gulp.

With the Descendant Self Sword held against his neck, its extremely chilling and sharp sword qi shot out a sword ray, and blood started to trickle.

"How do you want us to make amends?!"

The Sword Tribe Leader asked with gritted teeth.

Chu Kuangren was currently too strong, so there was no way the Sword Tribe could go against him. The Sword Tribe Leader had no choice but to submit.

"How to make amends, you say? It's actually quite simple. I've been a little short on resources recently, so I want your Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land Foundation."

Chu Kuangren said lightly.

The Sword Tribe Leader's eyes widened upon hearing that. "Impossible!"

With a slash, the Sword Tribe Leader heard the sound of a sword cutting through flesh. He felt a chill on his neck as if something was flowing out, gradually wetting his robes…

It was his blood.

"Master Tribe Leader, I'd suggest you choose your words carefully!"

Chu Kuangren looked at the Sword Tribe Leader and warned in a serious tone.

The Sword Tribe cultivators around were red with anger. Their Tribe Leader was threatened with a sword to his neck, yet there was nothing they could do about it. All they could do was stand by and watch.

They did not even dare to speak out against this.

After all, they were afraid!

At this thought, everyone felt furious yet ashamed.

"The Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land is a resting place for many of our tribe's Sovereigns. If I give you the Ancestral Land Foundation, where else can the Sovereigns go?!"

"Heh, it's just a change of location for them to sleep."

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Tribe Leader almost vomited blood.

A change in location for them to sleep?

When was it ever that simple?!

Due to the restrictions imposed in the Emperor Road, the Sovereigns could not take action easily. Only in their ancestral land could they exert their full power.

Other than acting as a place of slumber for the Sovereigns, the ancestral land was also a place of refuge should the Sword Tribe ever fall into danger. Besides, the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land contained several important places as well.

Places with Opportunities of Fortune, such as the Sword Tomb and Sword Pond.

Handing over the Ancestral Land Foundation to Chu Kuangren would be no different from destroying the whole Ancestral Land. It would mark the end of the Opportunities of Fortune that the Sword Tribe had inherited for thousands of years!

Chu Kuangren was not only tearing apart their orthodoxy!

He was going to destroy the Sword Tribe's foundation too!

"I can give you everything else in the Sword Tribe but this. The Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land Foundation is just too important…"

"I have no need for any other resources. The only thing I want from you is the Ancestral Land Foundation!"

Chu Kuangren interrupted the Sword Tribe Leader's sentence.

"Chu Kuangren, do you really have to go this far?"

"Hmph. Compared to you people coming after my life, all I ask for is the Sword Tribe's foundation, which is quite a generous demand if I say so myself. It's alright if you don't want to give it. After all, wiping out the whole Sword Tribe isn't that hard for me."

Chu Kuangren said with a grin, yet his gaze was as cold as ice. If he wanted to be cruel and unreasonable, wiping out the Sword Tribe was not impossible for him to do.

"Alright, then. I'll take you to the Ancestral Land!"

The Sword Tribe Leader replied shamefully.

After that, he brought Chu Kuangren to the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.

Within the depths of a mountain range, there was a huge mountain that looked like a sword stuck into the ground, and it was surrounded by countless streaks of sword qi.

With his keen senses, Chu Kuangren could feel the spatial fluctuation in that mountain peak. There was another realm hidden within it.

"Let me go. I need to open the secret realm."

The Sword Tribe Leader said frustratingly.

"Don't bother. Once I've taken the Ancestral Land Foundation, this area will be gone anyway. I'll just open it with my sword."

Chu Kuangren raised his hand and unleashed a magnificent streak of sword qi.

Along with a terrifying surge of spatial fluctuations, which caused the whole mountain peak to tremble violently, a huge black opening was torn open in the void.

Ignoring the Sword Tribe Leader, Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared into a flash as he took a step forward into the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.

The Sword Tribe Leader was left alone, slumped to the ground. He could not care less about tending to the cut on his neck as he yelled into the sky, "Calamity has descended upon this land!"

Inside the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.

Following a loud explosion, all the Sovereigns in the Sword Tribe were awoken with shock. Everyone looked at the pitch-black tear in the void with a grim expression on their faces.

"W-who has broken into the ancestral land?"

"Who would dare do such a thing?!"

A black-haired figure in white robes soon stepped into the ancestral land.

Chu Kuangren's gaze swept across the Sword Sovereigns present. Then, he tried to locate the Ancestral Land Foundation using his spiritual thoughts.

It did not take long for him to find it, and he dashed into the depths of the ancestral land to obtain the Ancestral Land's Foundation.

"You imbecile. Do you think we'll allow you to act as you wish around here?!"

One of the Sword Sovereigns snorted coldly.

As such, he turned into a sword ray to chase after Chu Kuangren. However, before he could get near to the latter, Chu Kuangren had raised his hand and unleashed a surge of sword qi towards him.

That razor-sharp sword qi shot through the sky. In an instant, the sword qi tore through the Sovereign, who exploded into a mist of blood in midair.

"D*mn it. How dare you commit such atrocities inside our Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land! "

"Speak out now. Who the h.e.l.l are you?!"

The group of Sword Sovereigns was furious.

"My name's Chu Kuangren. I'm here to retrieve your Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land Foundation!" Chu Kuangren said lightly before disappearing using the Spatial Conveyor Skill.

The expressions of the remaining Sword Sovereigns changed drastically upon hearing Chu Kuangren's name. No one was a stranger to that name.

Everyone had learned of Chu Kuangren's name from the Sword Tribe Leader when the Tempest Sword Sovereign was killed.

However, they did not expect that after killing the Tempest Sword Sovereign, Chu Kuangren also wanted their Ancestral Land Foundation. This meant that the Sword Tribe's foundation would be destroyed!
