566 Desire to Make Peace (1/2)
In the Cloud Ocean, within a floating palace hall...
Ge Hanyan looked at the cloud mist changing and sweeping in front of her. Her eyes had no anxiety within, looking really cold.
She was originally a warm person, but now she gave off a cold aura, just like the current Cloud Palace.
Extremely bleak and chilling!
Usually one would be able to see Lingyun Sect disciples moving around the Cloud Palace, searching for places to cultivate and study martial and spiritual cultivation methods.
Looking around, there were just a handful of people there. Most of them were out of sors, worry appearing on their faces.
Only when Yan Feibai walked by her side did some energy appear back in her eyes.
\”The meeting is over?\” Looking at Yan Feibai standing there, she knew the answer. She only asked it subconsciously.
Ge Hanyan turned around, her expression still one of loss.
\”Which means that Great Senior Master Ling Weizi and Senior Master Long Ruo really fell on Mysterious Cloud Mountain?\”
\”Yes!\” Yan Feibai nodded, his expression a lot more stable and composed than a few days ago.
\”Not only Great Senior Master, our Lingyun Sect's four hundred Grade Six Dao Soldiers, along with two thousand cultivators, all fell. I heard that Senior Master Long Ruo was slain by one sword, dying together with the Monster King. What a pity, Senior Master hated Zong Shou his entire life and in the end that Monster King didn't even look at him. He just killed Senior Master along the way. Instead, Han Nishui was the one that the Monster King hated deeply, slashing him apart at the waist…\”
Ge Hanyan didn't know what Yan Feibai meant by those words. It sounded like he was mocking, but there was no disdain in his tone at all.
However, she had no intention to feel bad for this Senior Master whom she had only seen a few times.
Long Ruo had already lost his heart, filled with jealousy and hatred, which was why this outcome was already destined.
She sighed within, and continued to ask, \”Then what did the elders say?\”
\”Sect leader has given up the position! He punished himself to face the wall for nine hundred years as punishment for his mistakes.\”
As those words were said, a few bells sounded out in the Cloud Palace. It was majestic and grand, but at this moment it made this already chilling and cold palace to feel even more desolate.
The first was the bell that announced that Lingyun Sect had changed their sect leader. Yan Feibai said in a composed manner, \”Senior Master Zu Renkuang will replace him. I am not the first seat, becoming the choice for the next sect leader. Lingyun Sect has backed out of Donglin Cloud Continent. What the sect wants is to have a talk with that Monster King…\”
Ge Hanyan understood, the so-called 'have a chat' meant for them to make peace.
The current Lingyun Sect didn't have the ability to go up against Gantian Mountain!
Thinking about the Donglin Cloud Continent, she only felt a chill down her spine.
...Lingyun Sect there had close to twenty thousand inner and outer sect disciples, as well as their families, all wrapped up within.
Backing out like this, the elites of Lingyun Sect these ten thousand years were all going to waste.
Thinking about the tragic deaths of the two thousand sect disciples on Mysterious Cloud Mountain, Ge Hanyan couldn't help but turn from sadness to rage, \”Are we just not going to care about the deaths of those two thousand?\”
In her heart, she still admired Zong Shou, and also her own taste.
On Pill Spirit Mountain, that teen who had humiliated a sect with one sword was truly extraordinary.
Dual meridian body, barriers from heaven, broken soul... all those actually didn't stop him at all…
Two years later that Monster King still managed to fly into the heavens and dominate this world!
However, she felt really depressed and frustrated.
\”After all, our Lingyun Sect plotted against him first! In this world, whoever has a bigger fist wins. The current Gantian Mountain does indeed have a bigger fist than us!\”
Yan Feibai shook his head and knew that his junior sister was just venting her frustration. In such a short while, she couldn't intend to go up against him.
Looking on as Ge Hanyan calmed down, only then did Yan Feibai speak up again expressionlessly. \”Even if you want revenge, now is not the time. You and I are the only remaining direct disciples, and have the responsibility to inherit the legacy and protect the sect. Not only must we make peace with Gantian Mountain, we need to think of a way to borrow their strength. If there is a chance, we might even join them and work for them…\”
Ge Hanyan's eyes opened wide, filled with disbelief.
\”Half a day ago, Donglin has already destroyed seventeen sects and aristocratic families. There are four which were destroyed by the demon sect! Outside of the Cloud World there are numerous demon sect cultivators, even some spiritual house sects, who are looking on aggressively.\”
As he said that, Yan Feibai's expression didn't change at all, like he didn't think much of the danger that Gantian Mountain might be able to wipe out their sect at any moment.
\”However, with our past grievances with Gantian Mountain, if that Monster King doesn't speak up, who in the world will help us?\”
Ga Hanyan's face was ashen white, that final sentence jolted her back to her senses.
At this moment Gantian Mountain was already so strong…
If that Monster King didn't allow it, who beneath one of the Shrines would dare to help Lingyun?
As for the Shrine sects, what reason did they have to help Lingyun?
