Chapter 155: Tiger Serpent Beast

“If the people of the world live in battle and unsafe days all the time, so what if everyone ascends?” Huan Zhong stood in front of the group. Jiu Su’s wildness did not steal away his elegance. “The mortals live for a short few decades, and the longest only a century. We are lucky to step onto the path of cultivation. We live two centuries in Energy Refinement Stage, five centuries in Base Building, nearly eight centuries in Core Formation. If we succeed in Mind Manifestation, we have a millennium of longevity. Compared to ordinary people, we are so much more fortunate. There is nothing to fear.”

“If the path to immortality is built from corpses, bones and blood, so what if we do not walk this path?” Kong Hou stood beside Huan Zhong. She looked at the sect masters, elders and disciples behind her. She knew some of the people here, and didn’t know others. Her sect master shibo would always sneak her some talismans. Wu Chuan Shixiong didn’t like to talk but would silently care for his fellow disciples. Everyone in the sect knew her master didn’t have many spirit stones, but when she left to travel, Master would always do his best to save some spirit stones for her. Because in his mind, she was a young girl that liked to be beautiful and eat well. So he had to do his best to satisfy her.

Sect Master Jin Yue was stern and managed Radiance Sect well. He spent great effort for the entire cultivation world. The sect masters of Nine Phoenix Sect and Clear Dawn Sect were powerful cultivators but never became imperious. When they saw hard-working disciples, they would speak words of encouragement.

The young sect eldest disciples present here all abided by sect rules and were honest people. Even if they had their personalities and were not perfect, they were all worthy of praise. All of them were real and vivid people. Ascending was full of temptation, but she could not let all of them die for the opportunity to become immortal.

“Do the orthodox sects not have anyone else so that a young brat like you has to speak?” Jiu Su saw Kong Hou and remembered how Hong Yan had schemed against him a decade ago. He waved his sleeve. The dust and stones around him gathered into an enormous evil dragon that roared towards Kong Hou with a gaping maw.

He liked beautiful women, but not women that dared to offend him.

The dragon of dust and stone did not get near Kong Hou before it was cut by Huan Zhong with a sword slash. The dust and earth flew and the ground became a mess.

Heng Yan looked at the destroyed stone tiles and felt his heart in pain. These stone tiles had been made from good jade. He would have to spend many spirit stones in order to buy more after these were destroyed.

After defeating Jiu Su, he would have to discuss with everyone about rebuilding Splendid Cloud Sect.

“Hm?” Jiu Su had not expected Huan Zhong to silently block his blow. He sneered. “Such a loving and dutiful man. You dare to rashly use spirit energy for your beloved woman. Do you not fear that your damaged spirit platform will be completely destroyed?”

Huan Zhong remained silent. Dragon Roar Sword hummed.

“Do you know why I am always at odds with you?” Kong Hou thought of how Huan Zhong’s spirit platform had shattered in her dream when he fought Jiu Su and how he eventually passed away of old age. She found Jiu Su especially displeasing. “Because my man is powerful and is willing to protect me at any time.”

“Zhong Xi, you have a famous reputation but your eyes are not good.” Jiu Su spoke as he attacked Kong Hou again. This time, he still failed. Huan Zhong had stopped him again.

“One should protect the person they love.” Huan Zhong’s red robes billowed amid the spirit energy. Everyone finally saw that the wedding robes had been embroidered with a hidden dragon pattern.

Jiu Su felt that something was wrong. Zhong Xi might be a sword cultivator able to kill above his level, but he had Great Vehicle cultivation. How could a Mind Dividing Stage sword cultivator be able to remain unaffected by his spiritual pressure and not show any effort on his face?

“Zhong Xi, step back.”

Jin Yue suddenly spoke. He and several of Radiance Sect’s elders came in front of Jiu Su and they started to fight.

Jiu Su’s disdain grew. These orthodox sects wanted to use repeated battle to use up his spirit energy? So laughable. These people could not fathom how powerful the Great Vehicle Stage was and yet dared to use such tactics against him?

They overestimated themselves!

When he thought of this, he was no longer polite. He only used six-tenths of his power, and smashed Jin Yue and the elders to the ground in less than a half hour.

“Just so.” Jiu Su wiped his hands with a handkerchief before throwing it away. He smirked as he looked at the crowd. “You think to stop me with just these abilities?” His gaze moved across the group and landed on Wang Su, the master of Moon Star Sect.

“I heard that Moon Star Sect was closed for a century. It’s been just a decade—how come you are out?” Jiu Su put his hands behind his back. “You should call me Grand Shishu.”

“You betrayed your sect and your name has been erased from the sect. Moon Star Sect has nothing to do with you.” Wang Su’s expression was frosty. “There is no grand shishu to speak of.”

Wang Su was the twenty-fifth generation male sect leader of Moon Star Sect. Jiu Su had been the twenty-third generation sect eldest disciple. He had been lured into betraying his sect, and he killed countless innocent cultivators and people. Moon Star Sect had erased his name long ago. The twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth generation disciples of Moon Star Sect didn’t even know that the lord of the evil cultivators and their sect had such a history.

“In this case, I do not have to spare you for the past friendship.” Jiu Su moved quickly. The Projection Stage cultivators were like children in front of him and could not last more than ten blows.

Soon, he came in front of Wang Su. He used spirit energy to seal Wang Su’s spirit platform before grabbing his neck and asking, “Who is the fated one?”

Wang Su turned to look at Huan Zhong in his wedding attire. “Everyone in the cultivation world knows who the fated one is. You do not have to ask me.”

“Ha.” Jiu Su laughed softly. “Everyone believes that Zhong Xi is the fated one but I know, with Moon Star Sect’s conduct, they would not leak the identity of the true fated one with such fanfare. The true fated one is not here, correct?” He looked at the doors to the hall behind Wang Su. “He is in there?”

The sect masters and elders dizzy from their beating were shocked at hearing Wang Su’s words. Spirit Master Zhong Xi was not the fated one. Then who was?

“Her.” Wang Su pointed at Kong Hou. “She is.”
