Diary, I'm leaving, just as quietly as I came!

Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

Inside the main hall.

Sect Master Qin Jian's cold, murderous voice echoed in the hall:

"After reading the Diary, I'll go and destroy the Xuanqing Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Sword Sect present all looked somewhat solemn, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, all eyes turned to Great Elder Xue Tang.

Xue Tang, with his white hair and beard and an air of otherworldly elegance, cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, the Xuanqing Sect holds a special position; after all, it was the sect where the Desolate Heavenly Emperor once belonged..."

"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for us to make a move now?"

Qin Jian's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "The Desolate Heavenly Emperor left behind a fake secret technique, tricking me so badly, and now he won't even let me get revenge?"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and roared at the crowd, "The Desolate Heavenly Emperor? I'll beat up the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!"

"Destroying the Xuanqing Sect is a perfect opportunity to make an example of them!"

Qin Jian had already made up his mind to vent his anger, and he wasn't acting purely out of emotion.

Shen Tu Lie of the Blood Lotus Immortal Mansion Shentu Lie contacted him a few days ago.

He was implied that if he could take action against the Nine Provinces Immortal Alliance or the Xuanqing Sect, he would be supported to become the ruler of the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion.

The Purple Origin Immortal Mansion has the most decentralized power, with six major Mansion Master.

This is a pattern that was formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, and no single entity has ever had the power to change it.

Qin Jian himself was an ambitious man, and he felt that this would be an opportunity.

"If it can be done!"

"I am the Immortal Master of the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion. Who dares to gossip and spread rumors?"

Qin Jian thought fiercely to himself.

The hall fell silent.

Great Elder Xue Tang lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly. Since the sect leader had made his decision, there was nothing more to say.

In their eyes, the Xuanqing Sect could be destroyed with a flick of the finger.

It's just a small sect in Nine Provinces; the Sword Sect could easily wipe it out by sending a few people.

Great Elder Xue Tang pondered inwardly; any excuse would suffice to destroy the Xuanqing Sect.

"If the Desolate Heavenly Emperor intervenes, then we'll find another reason to stop. Otherwise, if he still doesn't intervene, it means he doesn't care about this sect."

"No matter what, he wouldn't take his anger out on the entire Nine Heavens Sword Sect because of this, would he?"

Once Great Elder Xue Tang realized this, he stopped clinging to the idea.

Regardless, the Sword Sect didn't suffer any major losses, so let the sect leader vent his anger.

At that moment, the Projection Screen in the main hall changed.

It's time to update my Diary.

Now, all the major Immortal Mansion and forces have set up projection arrays, making it very convenient to read the Diary.

Qin Jian took a deep breath, looked at the light screen, and the anger that had just subsided in his heart reignited.

Last time, it was reading this Diary that embarrassed him so much.

On the light screen, lines of text slowly appeared...

Page 57 of the Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor:

[Having obtained the secret techniques of the Qi Sea Ancestral Palace, there's no point in staying at the Nine Heavens Sword Sect any longer.]

I'm planning to leave now.

[After all, I was just an outer disciple relegated to Sword-Collecting Mountain. Even if I disappeared, the sect would just assume I'd died, and nobody would care.]

[It's a pity. I've studied this technique of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect carefully over the past few months. It has huge flaws and cannot be practiced.]

[However, it also made me realize that opening up the Ancestral Palace Secret Treasury is indeed very powerful, capable of unleashing the physical body's infinite potential.]

[Some time has passed.]

I was about to leave, but before I did, I suddenly felt like I'd missed out.

[After being undercover for so long, I haven't gotten any benefits!]

[Wouldn't it be a waste of time to just leave like this?]

[Since infiltrating the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, I've discovered many secrets about this sect; they're not good people.]

[For example, they colluded with the Seven Star Tower to ruthlessly swindle the Xiao Family, one of the six great Mansion Master, and secretly appropriated the spoils they had obtained in the ancient secret realm.]

[Later, they colluded with the Seven Stars Pavilion to launch a sneak attack on the Purple Robe Sect and frame the Myriad Immortal Sect for it. The latter fought back fiercely, resulting in several extremely brutal battles.]

More importantly!

[That cunning old bastard Qin Jian secretly killed countless cultivators and used their Qi Refining to cultivate a Blood Spirit Flower, allowing it to grow rapidly.]

[The more I think about it, the angrier I get...]

[I am an upright, kind-hearted monk full of a sense of justice; I cannot stand idly by in such a situation!]

[I've decided to punish him. I'll confiscate the Blood Spirit Flower, and while I'm at it, I'll take all the spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Garden too.]

[Anyway, I've made a few more hoods, hehehe, I'll put them on and do it, pull off one heist, then change my identity and never have to worry about anyone finding out.]

[Develop an action plan...]

[On the day of the incident, I put on the rat headgear from the Twelve Zodiac Set, left Sword-Collecting Mountain, and secretly sneaked into the Spirit Herb Garden.]

[The Spirit Herb Garden is not like Sword-Collecting Mountain; it's a heavily guarded place, with no fewer than three elders stationed there!]

But I am not afraid, because I represent justice!

[Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Nine Heavens Sword Sect? You have some nerve! Don't you value your life?]

[These are the words of an elder who jumped out after I entered the Spirit Herb Garden. The dialogue is extremely clichéd and lacks any originality!]

[Without saying a word, I went up and attacked. In just a few breaths, I had the elder gone. I was in such a hurry that I didn't even get a good look at what he looked like before I killed him.]

[There's not even a trace left.]

[Without lingering, knowing that any slight movement here would attract the attention of the Sword Sect's experts, I quickly rushed into the Spirit Herb Garden, took the Blood Spirit Flower, and then casually gathered a considerable amount of other spirit herbs.]

[And destroy anything you can't take with you.]

[Subsequently, Qin Jian arrived with a group of Sword Sect elders, only to find the Blood Spirit Flowers they had painstakingly cultivated and the ruined herb garden...]

[Well!]

[It's another clichéd dialogue, such as: No matter who you are, today I'll skin you alive, tear your soul apart, and shred your body to pieces.]

[A tedious battle ensued, two thousand words omitted here.]

[Result...]

[The result was that I left, and they didn't even know who I was.]

[As it turns out, saying harsh words at the start of a war won't change the outcome; there's some truth to the saying that bad guys die from talking too much.]

[He slipped back to Sword-Collecting Mountain, and the next day, he had breakfast at the sect's headquarters before leaving.]

I leave, just as quietly as I came.

That day, chaos erupted within the sect; Great Elder and peak masters were mobilized to search for someone known as the 'Rat Emperor.'

[Heh heh, they'd never guess, I've always been within the sect.]

Okay, that's all for today!

This Diary entry ends here. It's quite long and contains a fair amount of information.

Whether they were cultivators from the Nine Provinces or cultivators from various Immortal Mansion, they were all stunned for a moment after reading it.

If the contents of this Diary are true, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is in trouble!

"Haha, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is doomed!"

"If the allegations of colluding with the Seven Stars Pavilion, harming the Xiao Family, and launching a sneak attack on the Purple Robe Sect are proven true, they'll be in serious trouble."

"Yes! I remember now, about three thousand years ago, the Purple Robe Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect did indeed have several major battles, which caused quite a stir!"

"It seems it's true!"

"It should be true. This is Desolate Heavenly Emperor's private Diary. It wasn't originally intended for anyone to see. It was just accidentally exposed. Would they really try to frame his Nine Heavens Sword Sect?"

"Hmph! I told you long ago that the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is no good..."

"Hehe, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor really tricked them this time, it's so satisfying, he truly represents justice!"

"The Desolate Heavenly Emperor's move of 'blind spot under the lamp' is truly amazing."

In an instant, the Nine Provinces and all the major Immortal Mansion were in an uproar.

Among them, the most sensational reaction undoubtedly came from the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, as the contents of this Diary exposed several forces within the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion.

Among them, the Xiao Family, the Purple Robe Sect, and the Myriad Immortal Sect are all among the six major Mansion Master, wielding immense power.

In addition, there are the parties involved: the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Seven Stars Pavilion.

It can be said that a massive earthquake is about to strike the entire Purple Origin Immortal Mansion.

Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

Inside the main hall.

After reading the Diary, Qin Jian and the Great Elder remained motionless in their original positions.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the contents of the Diary.

A somber atmosphere silently enveloped everyone.

It then swept through the entire Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

A long time.

Sect Master Qin Jian was the first to regain his senses. He was breathing rapidly, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

He managed to utter two words:

"It's over!"
