Chapter 378 - Greatly Inferior
Since the yunxiang illusionary image was destroyed, the people outside of Dragon Gathering Mountain were waiting quietly.
Shui Lingbo directly threw the mirror back to Xuan Taiji, the latter also didn’t show any more intentions to peak into the mountain cave.
Ling Lie was the same. His expression was heavy. Who knew what he was thinking about.
Not only Long Ruo, Han Nishui and Li Yuandan didn’t return from within, but Yan Feibai and Ge Hanyun were nowhere to be seen either.
Such a situation was worrying.
The ground of people at the mid-waist of the mountain didn’t fade away. They all looked upwards and waited patiently. All of them wanted to know who exactly was the person who obtained the legacy of the dragon shadow sword.
However, after 8 minutes passed the entire Dragon Gathering Mountain started to shake.
Xuan Taiji’s brows rose up as he looked at the mountain peak of the Dragon Gathering Mountain. Pretty much right away he recognized the source of the shaking, it was within the upper layer of the dragon cave.
“…How weird! First, space and time tore open and then the mountain started shaking. What is going on within? Are there people fighting inside?”
That voice came from a grade 7 expert who was teleported out from the cave not long ago who was standing not far away.
Xuan Taiji looked coldly over before retracting his gaze. What this person said was what he was thinking about in his heart.
Looking at the way the mountain was shaking, the ability of the people on both sides wouldn’t be lower than grade 7.
Just at this moment his junior brother Chen Huai at his side suddenly opened his mouth, “I remembered that cultivator Han and cultivator Li had a conflict with Gantian Monster king Zong Shou a few days ago. Lingyun Sect Long Ruo is also unhappy with Zong Shou. If people are fighting within then it has something to do with them 4!”
Xuan Taiji was slightly shocked, Shui Lingbo also suddenly clenched her fists. She used questioning eyes to sweet at He Xueling. Only to see her brows furrow as she nodded her head slightly.
When Ling Lie heard that he laughed involuntarily, “How is that possible? My sect’s Long Ruo, even if he was unhappy towards Zong Shou, it wouldn’t reach the level when he wants to kill him. Furthermore, with Dragon Shadow old man there, how could he allow them 3 to succeed. Long Ruo is our sect’s 3rd generation 1st direct disciple, why would he be so irrational?”
“That’s hard to say!”
Laughter rang out. This time the person who spoke was on the other side. It was Hanshan School Su Chen who shook his head and said, “The person he gave up on was a top genius. Not only strengthening his father’s work but also obtaining the legacy of the martial saint. If it was me, my heart would lose balance. If one’s heart is a little weak, one will be annoyed and push the rage on others. That wouldn’t be surprising. Furthermore, the dragon shadow martial saint is hundreds of worlds away. If he is distracted by other things, there might be a chance…”
Shui Lingbo scoffed, thinking that if anything happens to Zong Shou she would execute all the Lingyun Sect people here! Then she would directly head for the cloud palace!
Just as she was pondering with a depressed mood about whether or not to head into the mountain peak, she suddenly had an idea and calmed down. A smile regained on her face as she looked towards the peak.
Thinking that since the kid has become so strong. This talent, this strength wouldn’t be able to be kept hidden.
However, today since he had the Dragon Shadow martial saint as his shield, there was no need to hide things anymore.
Ling Lie didn’t think that way, saying coldly, “Does Junior disciple Su have any proof? If you are just spouting nonsense my Lingyun Sect will find your sect’s seniors for an explanation!”
Su Chen’s lips curled as he smiled in disdain. When did their sword sect disciples ever fear others?
Much less this Lingyun Sect who occupied a secluded land—the worst of the shrines.
Coincidentally, at that moment a weird expression appeared on Xuan Taiji face, “Senior master Ling Lie you said that Zong Shou has dual meridians, barriers from heaven? Can you prove that?”
Ling Lie didn’t know what he meant, frowning as he answered, “How would my words be fake? Long Ruo had personally tested his body quality…”
Before his words landed, Zhao Yanran nodded her head, a weird smile appeared in her eyes, “That’s right! I was there too. This Zong Shou does have dual meridians, barriers from heaven. As for whether or not he has a broken soul I don’t know. However, at that time, his sword was already one with the spirit. At that time when I competed with him, my cultivation was 2 realms higher than him but I lost badly.”
Ling Lie was finding it weirder and weirder, he decided to focus his mind towards the peak of the mountain.
There were millions of cracks inside, it was easy for his senses to enter.
Xuan Taiji took in a deep cold breath, “If that is the case then it would be terrifying…”
As he said that he turned around and said towards Jin Buhui, “Junior brother Buhui, I heard that before you entered you had interacted with Zong Shou. Are you on good terms with him?”
Jin Buhui was originally worried, now when he heard that he couldn’t help but say curiously, “That’s right! We clicked instantly but he just loves to snatch things from me, how annoying. Why did the senior brother ask that?”
“Nothing!” Xuan Taiji smiled, “This person is someone worthy of being friends with, it’s best if junior brother interacts with him more in the future. It seems like our cloud world has given rise to an amazing talent! Your good friend will be an extraordinary person in the future…”
The moment he said that Ling Lie’s face was already totally ashen white.
Just a few breaths later the entire peak of the Dragon Gathering Mountain formed several spiderweb-like cracks, spreading all about.
Following which it collapsed, mountain stone rolled downwards. Anything above 30 thousand feet seemed to be sliced off by someone.
Dust and smoke bellowed, just as it started to spread, a vast wind blew it apart.
Amongst which a few people stood tall. Zong Shou held a sword in his hand, barely able to stand tall. He was coughing out blood continuously, however, his eyes were exceptionally cold, killing intent charging into the skies. On his purple sword body, drops of blood dripped down.
Opposite him, Han Nishui and Li Yuandan were in a bad spot.
Long Ruo’s soul had returned into his body and blood seeped out from his mouth.
The people on the waist of the mountain had just avoided the stones with much difficulty. When they raised their heads and looked upwards they were shocked.
“That’s Lingyun Long Ruo! And also the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect Han Nishui!”
“…I recognize the other person too, Pill Fountain Sect Li Yuandan!”
“Is that teen the Gantian Monster king that inherited the throne not long ago? Although he can’t cultivate, I heard his way of ruling and war strategies are amazing…”
“Which one of them obtained the nine dragon shadow sword?”
At the start, they were curious about who obtained this grade 10, power which could shake the heavens and the earth spirit saint sword technique. Following which they felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right. Those martial cultivators could only look on from the ground. All Out of Body realm experts and above all drove their weapons up and flew in the air, looking down from above.
Xuan Taiji also stunned, sweeping over Ling Lie with a complicated expression, “What a waste for your sect, you failed to recruit such a person.”
The grade 8 experts around all had weird expressions as they looked towards Ling Lie. They either had pity or gloating expressions.
Some were mocking, a chance for the sect to rise was wasted just like that by Lingyun Sect, rejecting him outside of their doors. This must be the intentions of the heavens to not let Lingyun Sect rise…”
Chen Huai frowned and shook his head,” I heard that your sect’s Long Ruo was elegant and magnanimous, righteous and kind, someone who I wanted to be friends with. What a difference. He’s just a lowlife—just because of his unhappiness and hatred, he did such despicable things. What a bully and a thief! I Chen Huai am ashamed to have anything to do with him…”
Ling Lie only felt depressed in his heart, energy fluctuating as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
As for Su Chen, he laughed, “What a coincidence, I have guessed it correctly. When is Ling Lie going to find my sect’s seniors to ask for an explanation?”
Xuan Taiji was helpless, Su Chen wasn’t from his sect and he couldn’t control, as such, he could only viciously stare at his junior brother.
Chen Huai acted like nothing happened. Their Haoxuan Sect was like that, they were upright and said whatever they wanted to.
Long Ruo and the other 2 of them, although they looked in a bad state, if they hadn’t have any bad thoughts at this moment, they should have been teleported out by the cave restrictions!
Zong Shou had just inherited the nine dragon shadow sword so how would he have the ability to cause trouble with them.
Who was right and who was wrong was obvious to the eye!
..Before this, they left some face for Long Ruo, but now they were unwilling to give any at all!
Shui Lingbo was a person that didn’t let one off. When she heard that, how could she give up on such a chance—saying with a weird tone, “I heard that this kid’s father had some relationship with your sect! He had saved a few of your disciples, right? I heard Yanran say that your highest grade vermillion token is in the kid’s hands. You really are a righteous sect! When others have nowhere to go and ask for help, you kick them away, striking them when they are down. When you see others, even when they didn’t join your sect and are doing so well, you are annoyed and try to kill them. With such style, my common people path’s 3 sects and 4 schools can’t be compared with you.”
As she said that she thought to herself, this thing is so fun, she should come a few more times. This time, it was the right decision to come over.
Ling Lie’s face turned purple-red, extremely ugly. His fists were clenched tight as his knuckles crackled.
He wanted to punch out and make this Shui Lingbo shut up! However, he knew that he wasn’t her opponent.
Shui Lingbo saw that and she laughed coldly, “casually holding up the red umbrella, “Why? Do you want to fight? You did such things and don’t want others to talk about it? What a waste, 14 years old sword path one with the spirit, breaking through the barriers of heaven alone. Such a person, you not only didn’t make friends with him and instead became enemies…”
The more she said the happier she felt, such a hero ended in the bag of the common people path.
Her brows suddenly rose up as she looked down, seeing that Zong Shou’s body moved once more.
