680 You are the Kylin Patriarch (1/2)
Zixia Fairy?
”My God . . . ”
Xu Que was astonished—this title was quite majestic.
However, the title was not an overstatement. As a beautiful lady and the overlord of the Zixia Peak, it was quite normal for people to call her ”Zixia Fairy.”
”Exactly,” Duan Jiude answered Liu Jingning, nodding his head. ”In those years, some womanizer used to paint my master's portraits. It's only natural that some of them were passed down and are still around!”
Liu Jingning was shocked. With widened eyes, she asked, ”Senior, is what you said in the mountain true? Is Zixia Fairy still alive?”
”Of course!” Duan Jiude said solemnly. ”My master was extremely powerful! Besides the Kylin Patriarch, I only admire my master!”
Liu Jingning was stunned for a while. Then, she nodded her head. ”It seems much of the gossip and legend in this world is true! Originally, we thought the Mighty Sect and Zixia Fairy were just stories. I didn't expect them to be real!”
”What do you mean? Could the Mighty Sect be fake?” Xu Que asked in surprise. He hadn't heard of the Mighty Sect before, but when a sect was really powerful, it couldn't be ignored easily, let alone be considered myth!
”It's not what you think. The main reason is that the overall strength of the World of Cultivators declined dramatically in previous years. It seems the rules of the Heavens and the Earth are incomplete. Countless powerhouses in this world have died off. Many precious treasuries, magic arts, and even parts of history have disappeared in the river of time! Therefore, a fault has appeared in the World of Cultivators. We have a lot of legends about ancient people and issues, but can't check their authenticity!” Liu Jingning finished by shaking her head.
”These are just secondary causes,” Duan Jiude said hopelessly. ”The point is that the Mighty Sect was slaughtered by its enemy. After a fierce battle, the Mighty Sect suffered great causalities and had to lock itself away by sealing the mountain. The Mighty Sect survived, but it was locked in this Mystery Land. It has been gradually forgotten by the world.”
”As expected, this sect was too weak!” Buttface ridiculed immediately.
Duan Jiude snorted coldly and glanced at Buttface. ”Little dog, don't be so cocky! In those years, the Mighty Sect was one of the overlords in the World of Cultivators. It was immeasurably more powerful than the Jiang Family and the Gong Family. In front of the Mighty Sect, the Jiang Family is an ant!”
”But your sect was still slaughtered by others!” Buttface replied.
”F*ck!” Duan Jiude cursed in anger, having nothing to retort.
Liu Jingning also fell silent. Although she was also quite curious about what had happened, the Mighty Sect existed in such an ancient period she knew almost nothing about it. She even didn't know what to ask, and it would be quite embarrassing to ask Duan Jiude to tell the story again.
Xu Que was even more curious about the identity of Buttface, so he asked, ”When your sect was slaughtered, why didn't your Kylin Patriarch come to help?”
”Hell! Are you stupid? When our sect was slaughtered, the sect leader of the Mighty Sect was the 68th-generation successor. The Kylin Patriarch had been gone from this world for a long time already. How could he appear to help?” Duan Jiude asked, rolling his eyes.
Xu Que smirked. ”Is it possible that instead of leaving this world as a celestial, your Kylin Patriarch has been reincarnated?”
”Reincarnated? Are you kidding? According to the records of our sect, the Kylin Patriarch was invincible in the world. As such a powerful cultivator, why would he be reincarnated?” Duan Jiude replied proudly.
Liu Jingning said, ”Senior Duan, I remember the Kylin Patriarch being mentioned in an ancient book. However, the description in that book said that Kylin Patriarch had offended too many people, so he disappeared after being hunted down.”
”Nonsense! This is just a slander from someone who envied our Kylin Patriarch!” Duan Jiude said diffidently as his eyelids twitched. It seemed he had also heard this but he didn't want to accept it.
