Chapter 527: Asking to Die

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Within Pill Fountain’s spiritual house, Xuanyuan Yiren, who sat outside one of the halls, suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze didn’t leave that hall, his spiritual sense could sense someone behind her. A voice also sounded out.

“Dumb girl, what is the point of this? Senior Brother Mingdan has a reason for going into seclusion. With his intelligence and determination, he definitely won’t do anything stupid. Yiren, why must you keep waiting here for him?”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s brows rose up. This aura, this voice, it was be her senior master, Xundan.

“Senior master, it is okay for me...”

“It’s okay? You have waited here for two years, not willing to leave for a moment. How can one not worry?”

The elderly Xundan shook his head, his expression filled with helplessness. “We have decided on your marriage with Han Nishui. It is also for you. The weaknesses of the mysterious moon wood brilliance method needs their ancient mysterious cold pill to solve. However, if you are unwilling, the sect won’t force you, and this marriage can be stopped. Now will you relax?”

Xuanyuan Yiren was not sad or happy when she heard this, she only shook her head. “This disciple thanks you! Only this disciple is waiting here for master not because of marriage matters...”

“It is not because of marriage? Then what for? You are getting out of hand, girl! Go back!”

His tone was filled with impatience.

“Senior master! How is this frivolous? I am cultivating here, and I am not going against sect rules. Even if you are a senior, you cannot force me away.”

Xuanyuan Yiren then heard a cold laugh from Xundan. “However, it is not up to you!”

Those words were were accompanied by a harsh wind. Xuanyuan Yiren was stunned, and her eyes filled with surprise and sadness.

Although she did not react, the silverlight within her automatically rose up into the air.

The light instantly turned into a shield, ten feet wide, that enveloped her completely.

A spiritual light flashed, causing that strong wind to totally dissipate.

“Grade 5 magical shield? How would you have such an item?” Xundan exclaimed, focusing his eyes on that shield.

A moment later his face turned white.

“So it is a darkness demon relic, no wonder you can activate it at grade 6...”

After looking at it carefully, Xundan did not bother to try breaching it, coldly scoffing, “You think we can’t do anything to you because of this shield? Gantian Mountain is about to be wiped out, and Xuan Mountain can’t exist alone. No one in the Cloud World can protect you. Mysterious Cloud Sect has once again brought Han Nishui to ask for your hand in marriage. This kid is not bad. I have already agreed, and set the date five days later. No matter whether or not you are willing, this marriage matter is settled. Go prepare for it.”

After he said this with a sense of finality.

Then, shifting into a swift light, he flew towards the other mountain within the spiritual house.

A moment later, a person appeared behind her. It was a man, over thirty years old, his face filled with a bitter expression.

“It seems like something really happened in the sect. Finally, they can’t take it anymore and are about to attack. They are so eager to chase junior sister, most probably they are plotting something against master. Unfortunately, we can’t contact any Pill Fountain Sect elders in the outer regions.”

If they were able to recruit cultivators from the sect who flew to other worlds to help them, this matter would be resolved easily.

Luckily, the situation today was probably not tied to the seniors of the sect. They would not have resorted to such a scheme.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s expression dimmed. “Junior sister has dragged down senior brother Yuanding!”

As a girl, she could not constantly remain at her post. Much of the time, Yuanding would take over for her.

Since Xundan and the others were impatient with her, they would definitely aim to punish Yuanding as well.

Yuanding waved his hand to show her that it did not matter. “What are you saying? I, Yuanding, am an orphan. Our teacher brought me up. Working for our teacher is something expected and is the righteous thing to do!”

He gave an uncaring laugh. “I am the direct disciple of the sect leader! Unless I do something incontestably wrong, those elders cannot easily punish me. For them, finding a random reason to punish me is not likely. As for junior sister, what should you do now...”

Although she had this grade 5 magical shield to protect her, if people wanted to send her away, there were indeed ways to do this.

Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t speak, looking over at the spinning silverlight spirit shield.

She thought back to that day when Zong Shou sent this magical treasure over. They were so close to one another, but they could not meet.

The yearning rose up in her chest like a wave, unable to be suppressed.

Moments later her eyes shone, and smiling, she said, “He predicted this!”

Yuanding was stunned, not knowing what Xuanyuan Yiren meant.

Xuanyuan Yiren sighed. Her mind was filled with questions.

She really couldn’t understand why her fellows would do this to her.

Sect leader sounded like the head of a faction, but the position was just the Pill Fountain Sect’s manager for the Cloud World.

What were the other sect members planning? Did they really think that if they stole the power of Pill Fountain Sect, the seniors outside of the sect would not ask any questions and allow them to do what they wanted?

She really could not understand...

Half a day later, Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect at the north of Donglin Cloud Continent, the highest point of the spiritual mountain, the Lingxiao Hall.

Han Nishui held a talisman, deep in thought.

“So Pill Fountain Sect has already agreed?”

There were only two people within the hall. Apart from Han Nishui, there was a black-robed old man who sat on a soft mattress above. At the moment his eyes were half closed.

Only Mysterious Cloud Sect’s leader, Yuankong, was allowed to sit there.

“That’s right! Edan from Pill fountain Sect personally replied.”

“Edan? This person is the pill technique elder of the Pill Fountain Sect, his position is only lower than the sect leader. Why wasn’t it Mingdan?”

“If it was Mingdan he would definitely not agree. But why does it have to be him?”

Yuankong smiled. “Pill Fountain Sect has internal problems and is on the verge of chaos. A few of them want to send her over because they don’t want her to interfere in sect matters.”

“The disciples actually do not care about that Xuanyuan Yiren...”

“I know! We only need to force that Zong Shou to fight!”

“Didn’t that Yuan Wushang refuse, and even murder Lingyun Sect’s Gengwei on the spot?”

“We found another person, Knife Ruler Li Wuhui. Although there are Six Pinnacle Swords in the Cloud World, there are two knife-users no weaker than Yuan Wushang and Jueyu. The Gantian army’s morale is booming, it is filled with famous generals. Whilst the armies of the Thousand City Alliance are like a tray of scattered sand. There are risks. If we interfere it might cause the various sects, shrines and demon sects to interfere as well. Why not lure him out, and kill the Gantian Mountain soldiers beneath our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect Mountain?”

Seeing Han Nishui frown, Yuankong smiled and said, “Don’t worry! You already know the situation. Do you think that Zong Shou has the ability to overturn Heaven and Earth? You don’t have to worry about dragon shadow either. Not only did that person from the Lingyun Sect return, our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect’s great senior master also rushed back. If he dares appear, he might lose the few decades of life he still has. The situation two years ago at Dragon Gathering Mountain won’t be repeated...”

The moment the words “Dragon Gathering Mountain” entered his ears, his eyes subconsciously showed rage and hatred. At this moment, he was also unwilling to hide it from Yuankong.

Two years had passed, but not only were the anger and hatred alive and well, but as time went on, the feelings became thicker and thicker and built up in his chest and did not fade. It bit at the meat of his heart.

He didn’t care about Xuanyuan Yiren, and even hated her. Every time he thought back, the humiliation from two years ago kept him from sleep at night.

Taking a deep breath, Han Nishui bent down and said seriously, “This disciple will follow master’s orders!”

His eyes were filled with gratefulness.

The humiliation from two years prior. This time, he would personally return it to Zong Shou!

The grievance between the two started because of this marriage. In the end, his physical body was torn apart, and he lost all of his status.

This time, he was going to marry Xuanyuan Yiren in front of Zong Shou’s face.

To make that kid feel the pain of his heart burning every day. No! That person probably wouldn’t be able to feel such emotions, how lucky he was...

Yuankong picked up on Han Nishui’s change in expression. He closed his eyes and sighed, “You dumb kid! It was because of me that you were humiliated two years ago. I, your master, have been feeling guilty about it. If I could help you solve this grievance then it would be for the best...”

※※※※

East of Donglin Cloud Continent, within that Longxiang City.

Longxiang City lord Yangfan held a talisman, his expression in flux.

“It finally came? Oh? Order Longxiang City to choose elites, gather them, and head to Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. Have Xiong Yu as the commander, lead her troops to approach Gantian Mountain from the West. Hehe, excellent...”

Although he was laughing softly, his eyes were filled with cold intent.

The Lingyun Sect still did not trust him.

To kill Zong Shou beneath Gantian Mountain was a difficult task. At most, after this the Donglin sects would bestow some benefits if they succeeded.

On the side of Xiong Yu, attacking cities had many benefits.

They weren’t willing to see his Longxiang Mountain’s influence grow.

Following which, Yangfan stopped caring about this matter. Their reactions were in line with what he had expected.

If Lingyun Sect really trusted him, then he would have cause to be wary.

This time, getting rid of Gantian Mountain, which had the potential to unify Donglin, he was already satisfied. action

“Zong Shou!”

He clenched his fists. Filled with hatred, the name was spoken word by word through the gaps of his clenched teeth.

He remembered the time two years ago, when his maidservant whom he had grown up with, died under that ruoshui’s sword.

Now, everything would come to an end.

A thought rose as he took up another talisman. He was slightly confused, why Zong Shou had done so much to recruit so many grade 9 cultivators.

Was it merely to send them to their deaths?

Because they would not be much of a problem.
