Chapter 268 Putting Oneself in an Impossible Situation (1/2)

Xuande Sword was made out of merit, and it had the Fire of Nirvana. When Shen Lian combined the sword will of Grandmaster Yuanqing within it, it was as though the sword had gained spirituality. The sword flew through the air and charged at the three Chamber Masters.

The sword will of Grandmaster Yuanqing contained the most vicious killing vibes in the world. When they were pointed at by the long sword, the three Chamber Masters could not help but shiver from within their spirits. It was as if they were stared at by a venomous snake and felt immense danger.

Moreover, the ice field created by the Ice Light had dulled the three Chamber Masters' mana, making them slow to react.

Shen Lian was trying to take advantage of the change in Qi dynamic. He did not intend to injure his enemies, but he wanted to at least deter them from helping Fairy Tianmeng. Taisu Sect had plenty of experts, but those whom Shen Lian saw as a threat were no other than the Chamber Masters of Baisu, Zisu, and Huangsu. Each of them was more than capable of being his opponent. With Fairy Tianmeng at her peak, it was difficult for him to rival her.

Despite that, he seemed to have the upper hand during the few exchanges, but he knew that the moment he made a mistake and let the battle dragged on, the four of them would be able to put their full force into the battle. If that happened, he would be damned.

The long sword made contact with the three High Clouds; it was as though sparks had fallen into a pot of oil and the clouds exploded.

Shen Lian froze the three Chamber Masters with his sword will and he slowed them down with the Ice Light. His trump card was the Fire of Nirvana that set the High Clouds on fire, which led to the explosion.

The sounds were loud, and there was no time to waste in the exchange this time. Fairy Tianmeng was angered as she was charging up one of her supernatural powers. However, the explosion of the High Clouds was as good as an attack, and she had to protect herself with the Protective Light. She diverted the divine light that she was planning to attack Shen Lian with in order to cancel out the explosion and to protect the Taisu disciples.

Shen Lian made the perfect calculation. In spite of the fresh blood coming out of his mouth, he reversed at the speed of lightning.

However, there were unforeseen changes. The air seemed to be locked down by an intangible force. Shen Lian felt as though he was moving amidst mud, and his movements were sluggish.

An old woman appeared in the sky. She had a head full of white hair, and her hair danced along with the wind as though they were the falling snow. She held a crutch that was engraved with the head of a dragon. The dragon's eyes were half closed, and it looked strikingly real.

Slowly, she walked down from the sky. All of the Taisu disciples bowed respectfully to her. Even the three Chamber Masters and Fairy Tianmeng showed respect to her too.

The old woman looked old, but her voice was clear and freed of impurities. She coughed and spoke, ”Young man, you have created quite a commotion and disturbed me. As your punishment, you will stay in this mountain and face the wall to reflect on what you did for ten years. This is to ensure that everyone knows Taisu Sect is not a place for just anyone to throw their tantrums.”

Shen Lian had acted out of line, and she could not help herself but interfere. Not even both of her Senior Apprentice-Sisters could stop her now.

”Taisu Sect had taken my niece as a hostage, why shouldn't I come looking for her?” Shen Lian smiled coldly.

”She is fated to come to Taisu Sect, what is this talk about abducting her. Please respect yourself. Otherwise, I would have to show you some colors in spite of my respect for your elders,” the old woman replied.

She spoke with seniority, as though she was in the right.

Shen Lian remained alerted. This old woman had attained immortality, and it would not benefit him to clash directly against her. It seemed that she was aware of his identity as well. It was just that she did not want to expose him.

However, Shen Lian was not about to be captured by her and remained in Taisu Sect for ten years.

Having an immortal Zhenren to intervene would be the worst case scenario. If he did not know that Ruoxi was about to be turned into an incarnation, he would not have reacted so strongly. There was no turning back.

The only way to escape would be through that method.
