Chapter 63: Chapter 61: No Way, It Can’t Be
The disciples were just watching the excitement.
Atop Bai Hua Peak.
Bai Hua Immortal Venerable watched the Fire Flame Venerable in the sky, her eyes flickering slightly.
Fire Flame and Ling Tian...
Are they about to reconcile fully?
"Go, find out why Fire Flame has had such a change of attitude," Bai Hua Immortal Venerable instructed.
At the same time.
The Sect Leader, too, with a darkened expression, issued the same order.
Shi Nian approached Fire Flame Peak openly, without any thought of concealment, and thus, everyone soon learned that the person who had brokered peace between Ling Tian Sword Master and Fire Flame Venerable was none other than that worthless Shi Nian!
"Shi Nian?" A trace of curiosity flashed in Bai Hua Immortal Venerable’s eyes.
She smiled softly, speaking gently, "Ling Tian really is fortunate."
Chao Fang Immortal Venerable whispered, "Sister Bai Hua, if Fire Flame and Ling Tian make peace, then their side will have the strength of two Venerable Level fighters. The Sect Leader will find it difficult to continue targeting Ling Tian Peak as he pleases."
Bai Hua Immortal Venerable nodded her head.
The recent situation at Ling Tian Peak has indeed been unfavorable, and she had considered whether to help them out discreetly.
Now, it seems.
She need not intervene.
After all.
Ling Tian and Fire Flame have been close friends for many years.
Though they have fallen out over the past few centuries, their affection for one another still exists.
The very high-profile visit of Fire Flame Venerable to Ling Tian Peak this time may not necessarily be because of Shi Nian. He surely saw the plight of Ling Tian Peak, and even if Shi Nian had not made the trip, fire Flame Venerable would have likely done so eventually.
Now, he has simply taken the overt path.
"Sister Bai Hua, if the Sect starts to engage in covert struggles, how should we two deal with it?" Chao Fang Immortal Venerable asked with some concern.
Bai Hua Immortal Venerable said calmly, "You and I are not adept at fighting. We just tend to our flowers and brew our wine. These matters do not concern us."
Chao Fang Immortal Venerable couldn’t help nodding in agreement.
Bai Hua Immortal Venerable lowered her gaze, a trace of worry still faintly visible in her eyes.
She wanted to keep to her own counsel.
But if... things really escalated to a head.
Could she and Chao Fang really remain unaffected?
Bai Hua Immortal Venerable sighed softly.
One can only hope.
That the situation does not truly develop to that point.
In the Sect Leader’s hall.
The Sect Leader’s face grew utterly cold after hearing the disciple’s report.
He had been trying to woo Fire Flame Venerable for hundreds of years, to which Fire Flame Venerable had been lukewarm at best.
But now.
In the blink of an eye, he had publicly made his way to Ling Tian Peak!
Now.
The conflict between him and Ling Tian Sword Master was out in the open, and Fire Flame’s actions clearly showed where he stood!
Such an ingrate.
"You say, before Fire Flame Venerable went to Ling Tian Peak, he met with a disciple named Shi Nian?" Li Nanfeng couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes," that disciple replied respectfully.
Li Nanfeng’s expression changed slightly.
The Sect Leader saw this and, after dismissing everyone else, asked, "Nanfeng, what’s the matter?"
Li Nanfeng was conflicted for a moment.
"Speak!" the Sect Leader commanded sternly.
Li Nanfeng did not dare to hesitate and quickly brought out the sword he had exchanged with Shi Nian.
He detailed the entire story of the sword exchange carefully.
"Master. Later, the disciple discovered that all of Lu Zhuoyan’s initial frailty was an act, so I thought, his words are probably unreliable as well. Therefore, the disciple did not present this sword immediately."
"But today, upon hearing about Shi Nian, the disciple suddenly remembered. Back on Dead Silence Prairie, when demon beasts stampeded, a few of them, upon colliding with this sword, perished instantly. Shi Nian is but at the Qi Refinement Realm, so this surely isn’t her own ability. Could it be that this sword indeed contains some trick?"
Li Nanfeng spoke cautiously.
The Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, taking up the sword.
Does this sword truly contain the Heart’s tip blood of Ling Tian Sword Master?
"Master, do you think that Lu Zhuoyan really is Ling Tian Sword Master’s illegitimate child?" Li Nanfeng asked.
The Sect Leader shook his head, "Unlikely. Lu Zhuoyan isn’t a disciple of Ling Tian but his junior brother, the two..."
Wait a moment.
The Sect Leader’s expression suddenly became nuanced.
Who is to say that Lu Zhuoyan being Ling Tian’s junior brother precludes him from also being his illegitimate child?
The two identities do not contradict each other.
Consider.
This Lu Zhuoyan, quite adept at causing trouble, every time it was Ling Tian who followed behind to clean up his mess.
Could it be anything but favoritism toward one’s own illegitimate child?
The Sect Leader immediately perked up with interest.
"Regardless, let me give it a try." The Sect Leader summoned his mana and erased the array on the sword’s surface.
And then. Ling Tian’s aura grew even more intense.
The Sect Leader’s spirits lifted.
Could it be.
That inside, there really was Ling Tian’s Heart Blood?
The Sect Leader’s heart blazed with excitement, his actions fierce and vigorous.
The sword’s material was mediocre, but the arrays layered on it were one after another.
The Sect Leader quickly unlocked all the arrays, just waiting to force out the Heart Blood.
He was about to make his move.
Suddenly.
A light flashed.
The infuriating, illusory image of Lu Zhuoyan appeared in the air.
The image raised an eyebrow and glared: "No way, no way? You actually believed my nonsense?"
"No way, no way? You actually believed my nonsense?"
"No way, no way? You actually believed my nonsense?"
This line, on an infinite loop.
Suddenly, the great hall was filled with Lu Zhuoyan’s mocking "no way, no way."
The face of the Sect Leader immediately darkened.
He roared in anger, instantly destroying the illusion and incidentally, pulverizing the sword into dust.
The Sect Leader’s chest heaved up and down.
How many years has it been!
It had been so many years since he suffered such humiliation.
Li Nanfeng looked on, scared and trembling, not daring to utter a single word.
"What a great deed you’ve done!" The Sect Leader coldly looked at Li Nanfeng: "Go back and seclude yourself. Don’t come out until your cultivation is restored."
Li Nanfeng’s heart trembled.
He knew.
Because of a series of events, Master... was going to abandon him.
Li Nanfeng clenched his fists tightly.
"Don’t you hurry and scram." The Sect Leader said harshly.
Li Nanfeng bowed his head, silently leaving.
The Sect Leader huffed coldly.
This eldest disciple greatly disappointed him.
For this Sect enrollment, perhaps he should pick a few more promising seedlings and cultivate them well.
As for Ling Tian...
The Sect Leader’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
Let’s wait and see!
In the yard of Lu Xingzhi.
All from Ling Tian Peak had arrived.
Even Mu Nanqing specially came out of her retreat.
She looked at Shi Nian and said softly: "Shi Nian, your way of handling this was a bit reckless. It’s alright to help the Firelane Chicken, but you shouldn’t have forced Fire Flame Venerable to make such a grand gesture to come to Ling Tian Peak."
That was tantamount to forcing Fire Flame Venerable to take a stand.
Shi Nian argued earnestly: "Senior Sister, Fire Flame Venerable is a truly good person. If I don’t go this time, in a few months, he would still make a grand entrance to Ling Tian Peak."
This was what Shi Nian saw in the World Fragment.
Months later, the situation at Ling Tian Peak grew even more perilous.
It was Fire Flame Venerable who specially visited Ling Tian Peak at that time and openly declared that he and the Ling Tian Sword Master were close friends.
That helped Ling Tian Peak to find some relief.
But in that case.
It was Fire Flame Venerable who took the initiative.
This time. Shi Nian made a special trip, representing Ling Tian Peak to humbly invite Fire Flame Venerable over.
One took the initiative to visit.
One was invited over.
In Fire Flame Venerable’s heart, the latter was surely more agreeable.
And it was precisely because he saw what followed in the fragment that Shi Nian chose to go to Fire Flame Peak first.
Fire Flame Venerable, he was worth it.
Although Mu Nanqing did not understand why Shi Nian was so certain, she knew that Shi Nian was no rash person, so she didn’t say more.
"Second Senior Brother, you’ve been cultivating for nine full hours today, haven’t you?" Shi Nian looked at Lu Xingzhi with anticipation: "How were the results?"
