Chapter 1026: Master Lian Appeared (Part 1)

It felt as though an invisible hand pressed firmly on his shoulder and holding him in place, as if urging him to stay calm.

The next moment, he saw Amalia’s pained expression return to calm.

When the needle struck, Amalia truly felt as if her head would explode. However, the pain disappeared in an instant.

Above the skies of Ten Thousand Floating Island, a chilling sword light cleaved through half the sky.

With a muffled groan, seemingly from the owner of the cold snort, a figure descended from the sky, their face ashen as they glared at the opposite side.

When this person revealed themselves, the disciples of the Eternal One Sect, including Elder Wong, lit up with joy and excitement. Only later did they notice the Great Elder appeared somewhat disheveled.

Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan gazed upward. "It seems Master Lian of the Green Lotus Sect had personally intervened. His attention on this new disciple suggests some things must be reconsidered."

"Master, is that truly Master Lian of the Green Lotus Sect?" Hayeon Ren’s expression shifted slightly.

"Who else but Master Lian could leave the Eternal One Sect’s Great Elder in such a sorry state? The Eternal One Sect has truly bitten off more than it can chew this time," Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan chuckled softly.

"The Eternal One Sect is ungrateful and treacherous. Such a sect cannot be trusted," Hayeon Ren remarked, her view of the Eternal One Sect entirely shattered.

"My nephew, do not oppose the Green Lotus Sect in the future. If you encounter Kenny Lin and Amalia in the future, make sure to use every effort to forge ties with them. These two people will undoubtedly be pillars of the Green Lotus Sect in the future," an elder from the Light Demon Sect suddenly instructed Yunse Qiao.

"I understand, Second Elder," Yunse Qiao nodded. Even if his Second Elder hadn’t said so, he would have come to the same conclusion.

Meanwhile, on another side, Jinwoo Zhang’s senior brother suddenly remembered something and urgently said to Shuren Liao, "Martial Uncle, now that I think about it, Amalia is actually Jinwoo Zhang’s savior."

"Oh? How so?" Shuren Liao asked immediately.

Mino Pei, who had been intently watching the battlefield, felt his heart skip a beat and immediately glared at Jinwoo Zhang’s senior brother.

Although he thought his reaction was subtle, Shuren Liao caught the scene, his brows furrowing deeply. As he listened to the story told by Jinwoo Zhang’s senior brother, his expression grew more severe, his icy gaze fixed on Mino Pei.

Mino Pei felt increasingly uneasy under Shuren Liao’s cold gaze.

Shuren Liao withdrew his eyes and said calmly to Jinwoo Zhang and his companion, "No need to rush. This matter can be settled once we return to the sect."

At that moment, Mino Pei almost wished Martial Uncle Shuren Liao would address the matter immediately. With fewer people around, it would at least be less humiliating. But back at the valley, the other elders were sure to be involved. He cast a pleading look at his master, who signaled him to stay calm.

"Don’t worry. Jinwoo Zhang is unharmed for now. Even if they pursue the matter, it won’t lead to anything drastic."

Hearing his master’s telepathic reassurance, Mino Pei was elated and felt a bit more at ease. "Thank you, Master."

On the opposite side of the Eternal One Sect’s Great Elder, a graceful figure approached while treading on a sword. Dressed in white as pure as snow, their aura carried an ethereal quality, as though they had descended from the heavens. Their cold and sharp demeanor was reminiscent of ice and snow, giving them an almost divine, transcendent air.

"It’s Master Lian! He’s come to stand up for us!"

The young disciples of the Green Lotus Sect could no longer contain their excitement and joy. Even Jirandal Tang and Taeseon Lei gazed at Master Lian with fiery admiration and reverence.

Although their master wasn’t Master Lian, every disciple of the Green Lotus Sect deeply revered him. Disciples like Jirandal Tang and Taeseon Lei even regarded him as their ultimate role model. Someday, they too wished to become the strongest sword cultivators on the Mystic Void Continent, just like their Master Lian.

"Lian Qinglan! Don’t you think you’re pushing it too far?" The Eternal One Sect’s Great Elder, Taipai Wuying, said, his face dark and gloomy.

"Taipai Wuying, I could push even further if you’d like. Do you want to experience it?"

Master Lian cast an indifferent glance in Taipai Wuying’s direction. Compared to Taipai Wuying’s bluster, he seemed every bit the ethereal immortal he was reputed to be.

Without waiting for Taipai Wuying’s response, a flash of sword light cleaved through the air. For a moment, the middle section seemed to vanish, only to reappear abruptly before Mao Baobao.

Mao Baobao’s expression changed dramatically. The sword strike was so sudden that even Taipai Wuying had no time to intervene before it struck, sending Mao Baobao flying.

Taipai Wuying hurriedly caught Mao Baobao, only to find his injuries severe, his primordial spirit faintly destabilized. His teeth ground with fury as he struggled to contain his rage.

"Lian Qinglan!"

"Even daring to bully my disciple? Have you forgotten the reputation I earned while traversing the Mystic Void Continent? Very well. Today, I’ll give you a proper reminder and leave you with a lesson worth remembering." Master Lian spoke lightly, as though it were the most ordinary matter in the world.

At last, this pent-up resentment was vented.

The disciples of the Green Lotus Sect instantly felt refreshed and invigorated. So what if your Great Elder is here? Our Master Lian is here too, and in his presence, your Great Elder doesn’t even dare to retaliate.

Amalia remained silent, her expression calm and devoid of joy as she sheathed her blade.

"You don’t seem particularly pleased, even after such a display," Master Lian remarked with a slight smile, shaking his head before turning his gaze to his disciple. "Since things are settled here, you may all return on your own."
