Chapter 39: Free At Last!

"What?! Are you serious?!"

"Yes! Why would I lie?"

"Huh! The Dust Valley Sect Master and his wife are really stronger than we imagined."

"Hmm... Hmm... Now, the Radiant Sect can no longer intimidate them."

The news of the Radiant Sect Ancestor’s defeat spread like wildfire.

Many found it hard to believe at first, but as more people confirmed it, the truth became undeniable.

For decades, the Radiant Sect had bullied the Dust Valley Sect, treating them like mere servants.

But who would have expected that the Dust Valley Sect Master and his wife could defeat a Half-Step Golden Core expert while they were still at the Peak of the Core Refining Realm?

Purple Mountain City

The Bai Clan Master stood on the balcony of his mansion, gazing down at the bustling city below.

"Ah! After so many years, the day has finally come."

"Master, I suggest we send a congratulatory gift to the Dust Valley Sect," his old butler said respectfully.

"Of course, we will. But first, let’s prepare for the mega sale of the Spirit Link."

While the common folk were still coming to terms with the Radiant Sect’s defeat, influential clans were already preparing for the upcoming changes.

With their ancestor injured, the previous ban on selling the Spirit Link would soon become meaningless.

The Radiant Sect.

The sect was eerily silent, like a graveyard.

Disciples walked around with grave expressions, as if they had lost their very souls.

Inside the grand hall, the elders sat tensely. Their previous arrogance had vanished into thin air.

"I suggest we go to full-blown war with the Dust Valley Sect!" a thin, withered Supreme Elder declared solemnly.

"Are you crazy?!" Supreme Elder Wen snapped, glaring at the old man. "Now that our ancestor is injured, all you can think about is war? Are you trying to destroy the sect? Do you even understand the gravity of the situation, or are you just a fool?"

The old man shot to his feet, his eyes burning with fury. "Who are you calling foolish?! Do you want a beating, hmm?"

"Why not? Do you think I’m scared of you, old man?" She stood up, locking eyes with him.

As the two Supreme Elders bickered, the lesser elders exchanged bitter smiles.

The Sect Master frowned at the scene before slamming his fist onto the armrest. "Enough! Both of you, sit down!"

The two glared at each other for a moment before the old man snorted and returned to his seat.

"Lucky you. You won’t be so lucky next time," Elder Wen muttered, clicking her tongue as she sat down.

Shaking his head, the Sect Master exhaled sharply. "This is not the time to fight among ourselves. We need to focus on finding a way to stop the Dust Valley Sect."

The room fell silent. Stop the Dust Valley Sect? Was that even possible?

For a long moment, no one spoke. The elders subtly glanced at one another, waiting for someone else to answer first.

Finally, Elder Wen broke the silence. "Until the Ancestor recovers, we should consolidate our strength and focus on the upcoming regional tournament."

Her words made sense. Without the Ancestor, going against the Dust Valley Sect would be suicidal.

The elders nodded in agreement.

The Dust Valley Sect

The atmosphere was lively, and the disciples beamed with joy.

Excitement filled the air.

Apart from the sect’s own disciples, various clans arrived bearing congratulatory gifts.

The Sect Master sat on the main seat, a bright smile on his face. After taking a healing pill, his complexion had improved significantly.

Looking at the countless gifts before him, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. Taking that risk was worth it.

As for the damaged buildings, reconstruction was already underway.

Slowly, the fame of the Dust Valley Sect spread throughout the Western Region. Everyone now knew that the Radiant Sect was no longer the overlord of the region.

The following day, the Thousand Wealth Chamber announced that they would reopen their stores in Radiant Sect territory.

The news was met with cheers, and the people began singing praises of the Dust Valley Sect.

Just then, another piece of news swept across the Western Region—many clans declared that they would begin selling the Spirit Link in their stores starting the next day.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?"

"Could the Dust Valley Sect really allow this?"

"They must be selling a different product, not the Spirit Link."

At first, the people doubted the news. But when the Thousand Wealth Chamber confirmed that the clans had been authorized to produce the Spirit Link, the region was thrown into a frenzy.

Instantly, the public forgot about the Radiant Sect. Those who had been unable to afford the Spirit Link before were now filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, the borders of the region were bustling with activity. The once-isolated border town had transformed into a lively hub of commerce.

At the Border.

Inside the Blood Fury Arena, Mo Jian sat in his luxurious office, deep in thought.

’I should return to the sect and check on my parents.’

This battle had made him realize just how weak he was—more importantly, how vulnerable their sect was.

A single Half-Step Golden Core expert had nearly killed his parents.

What if it had been a real Golden Core expert? They wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Just then, a notification flashed before his eyes.

[Congratulations! You’ve completed the mission.]

[Reward: 200,000 IP]

[Evaluation: You’re proving yourself to be a force to reckon with in the Western Region. Keep it up.]

[Rating: A+]

"Huh?! I’m being rated and evaluated now?" He scoffed but, upon seeing the massive influx of Influence Points, a wide grin spread across his face.

"Before I go on a buying spree, let’s break through to the Foundation Realm."

Even without cultivating every day, his Purple Superior-Grade Talent was so powerful that his cultivation speed far exceeded that of those with High-Grade Talent.

To accelerate his breakthrough, he took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and began preparing to advance.
