Chapter 624: Incomparably Domineering, Leng Tianhe

Only the light of the Divine Weapon was everlasting. At this moment, the gray-robed old man who held the Divine Weapon became the center of this universe, of this Sky Dome Realm.

“Xiu!”

An anguished cry echoed, and the light vanished. All the mysterious phenomena disappeared, and the blazing sun in the sky reappeared.

However, the vast scene that shook everyone left a permanent mark in their hearts in that instant.

On the horizon, everyone could see the black dot that was Sima Hong falling to the ground like a broken kite. The saber Qi of the Divine Weapon severely injured him from kilometers away.

“Come back!” the gray-robed old man shouted, opening his left hand. His palm contained the natural law as it formed an irresistible suction force.

A horrifying tornado formed in the air and sucked in Sima Hong, who was several kilometers away. He could not control his blood-drenched body.

“Bang!”

A m.u.f.fled crash resounded, and Sima Hong and Sima Lingxuan both fell on the Heaven Ascending Platform.

Sima Hong knelt on one knee before the vast might of the Divine Weapon. His injured body could not help but tremble. A horrifying wound gus.h.i.+ng blood was visible on his chest.

When Jiang Chi and the other elders below saw the old man arriving, they became extremely excited. However, because of the might radiating from the Divine Weapon, they could not approach to speak to him.

“Ka cha!”

The old man casually waved his hand, and the Divine Weapon returned to its scabbard. The wooden box immediately pieced itself together and floated quietly in front of Xiao Chen.

Suddenly released from the aura, Sima Hong fell heavily to the ground, unable to move. The old man’s figure flashed and arrived beside Sima Hong.

“You think you can run away like that after injuring so many of my Heavenly Saber Pavilion disciples.”

Sima Hong got to his feet, bent over. He said skeptically, “Leng Tianhe, you merely wield the might of the Divine Weapon. What abilities do you have? If you are truly capable, you would have been the Pavilion Master back then.”

“So, it is him. Unexpectedly, the younger brother of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s Pavilion Master came back.”

“Forty years ago, for the sake of obtaining the Pavilion Master position, you fought with your older brother and lost. You left in a pique back then. Surprisingly, after not appearing for forty years, you stepped through the threshold of Martial Sage.”

Hearing Sima Hong’s words, everyone was stunned. They all guessed who the gray-robed old man was.

Forty years ago, when the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was flouris.h.i.+ng, two absolute geniuses appeared at the same time. Furthermore, they were brothers. Unfortunately, a mountain could not contain two tigers.

Leng Tianhe lost to his older brother and had to give up on the Pavilion Master position. After that, he left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. However, twenty years ago, all the elites of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion perished in a Demonic Calamity. Even the Pavilion Master died. Since then, the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion had been in decline.

Otherwise, Sima Hong would not have dared to come here and throw his weight around, all by himself, declaring that he would destroy the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.

Now, at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s most critical moment, Leng Tianhe finally returned. Using the Divine Weapon, he defeated Sima Hong in one move.

When Leng Tianhe heard Sima Hong’s words, he snorted coldly and said, “Idiot, even if your father were here, he would not dare say such words. Junior Brother Jiang, send someone to hang him at the entrance of Saber City. We will wait for the Sima Clan’s people to come and collect him. The Sima Clan will pay a hundredfold for all the damages to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.”

Unbelievably, a bona fide Martial Sage—someone who stood at the top of this world—was going to be hung at the city entrance. Everyone felt their heads swelling just at the thought of it.

Sima Hong got up and threw himself at the gray-robed old man, shouting angrily, “Leng Tianhe, you dare?!”

“Why not?!”

Leng Tianhe kicked and sent Sima Hong flying back. Filled with tremendous force, his right leg scattered the remnants of Sima Hong’s Quintessence.

When Jiang Chi and the other elders heard Leng Tianhe’s words, they quickly ordered people to capture Sima Hong and lock him up.

Leng Tianhe looked up and glanced at the other cultivators who had come over to spectate. They immediately came to their senses and quickly fled the place.

Normally, this area was off-limits to outsiders. With the problem now resolved, if they still did not leave, they would be in deep trouble.

Seeing that these people still had some discretion, Leng Tianhe looked away and ignored them.

Jiang Chi and the others rushed over and said respectfully, “Junior Brother Leng, fortunately, you managed to arrive in time. Otherwise, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would have gotten destroyed.”

Leng Tianhe replied, “There is no need to say more. Although I have left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, I will never sit back and watch the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s destruction.”

Raising his hand to stop Jiang Chi and the others from saying anything more, Leng Tianhe turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, who was already standing up. Interest appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Many thanks to Senior for helping.”

Leng Tianhe smiled faintly and said, “You saved yourself. You were able to resist the temptation of the Divine Weapon and deliver it to me. You sowed this seed back then. If the Divine Weapon did not warn me today, I would not have rushed over. This is the fruit of that seed.

[TL note: In Chinese, rather than seed and fruit, it was cause and effect. It is the concept of karma. The Chinese believe that every cause will lead to effects, and every effect had its cause. Every single action matters and will lead to something.]

“If you had given up on the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and gone to the Supreme Sky Sect, Sima Hong would not dare to play such tricks. In the end, it is actually the Heavenly Saber Pavilion dragging you down. However, this will never happen again. I will compensate you for today’s matter.”
