Chapter 164: Fighting to the Gate

“This is a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon!” Liu Suifeng exclaimed in incomparable astonishment. It was a true Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, and it was just short of becoming a Sub-Divine Weapon.

For the past hundreds of years, there had not been the appearance of a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. To think he was able to see a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon appear here. Furthermore, it was a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon.

Xiao Chen’s heart was filled with shock as well. He could not figure out how Liu Ruyue restored the Lunar Shadow Saber back to Heaven Ranked.

Liu Ruyue grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber and stood proudly. Her clothes and hair fluttered in the wind as she gazed down the mountain and said indifferently, “Let’s go, they are here!”

The Lunar Shadow Saber returned to the scabbard, and its aura immediately vanished. Liu Ruyue quickly led Xiao Chen and Liu Suifeng down the mountain. None of them spoke; there were grave expressions on their faces.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a group of cultivators who were all rus.h.i.+ng aggressively towards Qingyun Peak, emitting a strong murderous intent. They kicked up clouds of dust and startled numerous birds.

When the group drew near, they could clearly see the appearance of the people arriving. The person leading them was the disciple of Biyun Peak’s Peak Master, Zhao Gongming.

Behind Zhao Gongming were the numerous elders of Biyun Peak; they were all Martial Saints. Amidst the crowd was a person whose head was wrapped up like a mummy, Song Qianhe.

Xiao Chen carefully counted them. Including Zhao Gongming, there were seven Martial Saints. Aside from them, there were ten Martial Grand Masters.

Out of the whole group, Zhao Gongming was the strongest. He was a Medial Grade Martial Saint; the others were only Inferior Grade Martial Saints. It was not strange for there to be so many Inferior Grade Martial Saints. After one reaches the Martial Saint realm, each improvement in grade was extremely difficult.

For many people, it was possible for them to be stuck on the Inferior Grade Martial Saint cultivation realm. Thus, someone like Liu Ruyue, a peak Martial Saint at the age of 24, was very frightening.

However, even with her cultivation, Xiao Chen was worried about Liu Ruyue. With so many Martial Saints, although their cultivation was lower than hers, they could overpower her with numbers.

Song Que hid within the clouds in the sky. He was looking at Liu Ruyue and the others with a sinister gaze.

Song Qianhe was not in any danger of dying. Furthermore, there was no concrete evidence that the dead Biyun Peak disciples had been killed by Xiao Chen and Liu Suifeng.

As a Peak Master, it was not appropriate for him to make an appearance. Thus, he let the younger generation go and cause some trouble. The ideal scenario would be to able to force a certain person to show himself.

Song Que looked at the towering peak and muttered, “Old Man Liu… You have been hiding in the peak for tens of years. Whether you are dead or alive, it’s time to confirm that.

“As it is now, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is in a temporary state of weakness. I’m pretty sure that you would not be willing to see a young girl become the Pavilion Master!” Song Que’s gaze pierced through the boundless s.p.a.ce, as though he was looking directly into the mountain peak.

Ever since the previous Pavilion Master died in the calamity twenty years ago, there had not been a Pavilion Master. The previous Pavilion Master’s daughter was named as the successor while the Elders’ a.s.sembly managed the Heavenly Saber Pavilion together.

As the saying goes, a family cannot go without a head of house; a nation cannot do without its king. Such a situation was very precarious. It naturally speaks a lot about Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s growth and reputation.

However, before the previous Pavilion Master died, he did not leave behind a clear will. Furthermore, there were many people in Heavenly Saber Pavilion who were qualified to become the Pavilion Master; they all fought openly and secretly plotted for the position.

Today’s scenario was the result of everyone’s compromise; to allow the previous Pavilion Master’s daughter to take over the position.

The most dissatisfied with such an outcome was Song Que. Although his strength was significantly lower than those old monsters, he was still amongst the people who were qualified to take over the position.

In terms of age, he was the youngest. Amongst the people who were peak Martial Kings, he was the youngest; he was only 50 years-old.

If nothing unexpected happened, after reaching Martial King, there would be no problem living to 200. His desire for the Pavilion Master position was the strongest amongst all the Peak Masters.

All along, he had been looking for an opportunity to swallow up Qingyun Peak. If one arose, he would have the power of two Peaks and would have more influence in the Elder’s a.s.sembly.

Song Qianhe’s actions, including chasing after Liu Ruyue, were mostly directed by Song Que. Song Que had even overlooked the despicable means that he had employed and allowed them to happen.

Actually, he had already been waiting a long time for this opportunity. If it were not for the apprehensions in his heart, he would have already strong-armed his way into getting what he wanted. Song Que looked at the mountain peak, seemingly deep in thought.

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Ruyue tried to gain the upper hand by speaking first, “Zhao Gongming, what do you plan on doing by bringing a bunch of trash and old codgers!”

Before Zhao Gongming could say anything, Song Qianhe, who was covered in bandages, shouted lividly, “Liu Ruyue, your disciple killed eight of my Biyun Peak’s disciples. According to the sect rules, you have to hand him over. Otherwise, you will be charged with the same crime.”

Liu Ruyue frowned deeply; her black eyes fired out a ray of killing intent as she glared at Song Qianhe. With just that glance, Song Qianhe was startled into retreating several steps.

Liu Ruyue mocked him, “To think trash like you are not embarra.s.sed to hold the position of Biyun Peak’s true inheritor. Given that you are already in such a state, one can only imagine the strength of a regular disciple of Biyun Peak. Who knows, maybe they were killed by some random people.”
