Chapter 123: Chapter 118: Traveling All Over the World, Yet Never Returning to the Divine Martial Sect

Ling Tian Sword Master said, "Shi Nian, last time you won the championship, the Ling Tian Gazette arranged an interview with me. This time, Xingzhi has also won the crown. Can we arrange this interview as well?"

Shi Nian was totally numb: "Master, is this what you call serious business?"

Ling Tian Sword Master spoke seriously: "Is this matter not serious enough? This interview, just follow the last one, you must sculpt the perfect image of this venerable self. Thus, it will also benefit our Ling Tian Peak. Alright, the rest of you can leave, Shi Nian stay behind and conduct an interview with me."

Everyone: "..."

Lin Tiantian looked at Shi Nian sympathetically, then slipped away.

The others didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Shi Nian, walking away even faster than when Lu Xingzhi got beaten up.

Shi Nian sighed and resignedly took out an Image Stone: "Alright. Let the interview begin."

The next day.

The freshly released Ling Tian Gazette was quickly sold out.

As people read it, they also exchanged their thoughts in the All-Worlds Communication.

"Ling Tian Sword Master has given another interview! Each disciple under Ling Tian Peak has astonishing talent, the interviews with Sword Master are definitely insightful."

"Right. The things Sword Master said last time are still inspiring me to this day. I’ve got to read this quickly."

The last interview took the inspirational talk route.

This time it was different.

This time.

Shi Nian arranged for him the Long Aotian route.

Moreover, besides the text, there was also a video to watch directly.

This time, the interview video started from when Ling Tian Sword Master first joined Divine Martial Sect, narrating how he was the peerless of his generation, describing how he suppressed demons and beasts, with his close friend Fire Flame Venerable adding clarifying comments. The whole video was thirty minutes long, and that was after Shi Nian’s editing.

In the middle, Shi Nian also did some artistic editing, adding dramatic ups and downs to Ling Tian Sword Master’s Long Aotian life, making it even more thrilling.

The whole video in one word.

Showy.

In two words.

Very showy.

In three words.

Incredibly showy.

But the disciples of Divine Martial Sect were watching with their blood boiling.

Previously, the scripts produced by Ling Tian Peak were already very thrilling.

However, those characters were fictional, and their ability to immerse was not that strong.

But what if, that protagonist, is the person by your side?

That’s where the effect kicks in!

In All-Worlds Communication, the most discussed question now is: between the Sect Leader and Ling Tian Sword Master, who is stronger?

Following the old rule.

Normally those who become Sect Leader are the strongest among their peers.

But in this video, it is Ling Tian Sword Master who stands as the peerless one.

What’s the situation?

Lu Zhuoyan, under an alias, answered everyone’s question.

"Back then, the Sect Leader fought Ling Tian Sword Master three times, and Ling Tian Sword Master won all three battles. However, just before the finals of the magic combat tournament, Ling Tian Sword Master had to leave for some urgent matter and couldn’t make it back in time. The Sect Leader thus won without a fight. It was later revealed that Ling Tian Sword Master was in love with a demon clan woman. At that time, relations between the human and demon clans weren’t good, and as a result, Ling Tian Sword Master was excluded from the list of Sect Leader candidates."

"A demon clan woman? My goodness, this is quite the secret."

"It’s said she was from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. In fact, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has been reclusive since ancient times, a clan that drinks dew and eats fruits and vegetables, focusing solely on cultivation and never harming human lives. But at that time, the Righteous Alliance believed that a demon is still a demon. They even used Ling Tian Sword Master in a plot, attempting to capture that woman to coerce the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. At that moment, Ling Tian Sword Master was controlled, helplessly watching as his beloved was lured into a trap. When the woman realized she was ambushed, she thought it was Ling Tian Sword Master who was going to attack her. Heartbroken, her hair turned white in an instant. And just as she was about to be grievously wounded by her assailants, Ling Tian Sword Master desperately broke free from control and shielded her with his body at the last moment!" Lu Zhuoyan continued to spill the beans.

"And then what happened?!"

The crowd became anxious.

After waiting a moment, Lu Zhuoyan spoke slowly: "After that, Ling Tian Sword Master was seriously injured and it took many years of recuperation to gradually recover. The woman... she disappeared without a trace. In the end, the lovers were torn apart."

The crowd sighed regretfully.

"The Nine-tailed Fox Clan, that’s a legendary race!"

"Not all demons are bad; it’s wrong to tar them all with the same brush."

"Ling Tian Sword Master, it’s really too pitiful."

"Now people’s views have indeed changed. However, fifty years ago, cultivators would readily kill if they encountered a demon beast. The current improvement in relations between the two clans is due to the growing threat of the Demon Clan. Even if the two clans still don’t see eye to eye, they have been forced to form an alliance on the surface. But should any incident occur, they could become enemies in an instant."

"Am I the only one concerned about where that woman went?"

Lu Zhuoyan came over, finally responding: "It’s said that the woman, despairing over being unable to stay with Ling Tian Sword Master, left for distant lands. Afterwards, she traveled the world but never again set foot in Divine Martial Sect."

"Traveled the world, yet never again set foot in Divine Martial Sect—precisely the place she most wanted to be! That just makes me want to cry."

"Now that both clans are allied, why can’t the two of them be together?"

"Alas, this alliance is too fragile; nobody knows when it could collapse into enmity. The Nine-tailed Fox Clan has traditionally kept out of worldly affairs. If the two were together, would the woman have to assist Ling Tian Sword Master in slaughtering her own clan? Or would Ling Tian Sword Master have to betray the Human Clan for her? Neither scenario seems likely. For them, this is probably the best outcome possible."

"Unless our side produces an absolutely invincible person, someone who could suppress all the chaos in the world. Only then might Ling Tian Sword Master and that woman have a chance to truly be together."

"Oh, how difficult that would be."

The debate in the All-Worlds Communication was heated.

Ling Tian Sword Master quietly observed. He let out a soft sigh and withdrew his attention from the All-Worlds Communication.

He had never spoken to Lu Zhuoyan about that woman.

But this is Lu Zhuoyan, who always seems to find out whatever he wants to know.

Ling Tian Sword Master knew that this time, it was probably Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan who conspired to gradually bring the woman’s story to the public eyes.

The venerable Ling Tian Sword Master, once in love with a demon.

This was indeed a massive shock.

If someone with an agenda were to twist the story, blowing it out of proportion could devastate Ling Tian and his followers.

Now, by speaking out himself, at the very least, he could clarify the facts and avoid the possibility of being slandered.

Even if someone wanted to exploit this issue in the future, it would not be so simple.

All of this, Ling Tian Sword Master was well aware of.

In his life, he might not have been completely successful, but he had indeed raised several good disciples.

Yet.

He simply could not bring himself to feel happy at this moment.

The long-buried past had resurfaced in his heart.

He stood by the window, looking into the distance.

Where was she... really?
