Chapter 40 - Buying People

Li Menglong had not decided on how to solve this problem, he had returned. He had a premonition that this was a thorny problem, otherwise Li Menglong would not have not answered the Grand Clan Elder's question for so long.

Li Menglong's ability to handle matters was reassuring, if not for this vice sect master, Wang Mengsheng would not have taken the time to cultivate, and would not have stepped into the composite phase so quickly.

Wang Mengsheng rushed back in a hurry, and Jian Zidan followed him back as well.

Li Menglong's head was drenched in cold sweat as he knelt in front of Jian Zidan in fear.

Li Menglong lowered his head to the ground and said: ”Reporting to the Old Ancestor, the person who comprehended the sword intent... I think he is a disciple of the Haoran Sect. ”

The smile on Jian Zidan's face disappeared. Haoran Sect? It was just a small sect, how could they have such talented disciples?

Wang Mengsheng could not bear to watch Li Menglong's panicked expression. He bowed and explained: ”Haoran Sect has been improving a lot recently. Junior Brother Li once brought a Heavenly Heart Tower to the Haoran Sect.

Jian Zidan was shocked, someone from the Haoran Sect had actually entered the seventh floor?

Wang Mengsheng continued to speak: ”The strength of one of our Tianyao Sect's Building Foundation Period Seeds is also not bad. Just one year ago, her talent was also ….”

Just as Wang Mengsheng said that, a biting cold sword intent burst forth, the sword intent was even more vast than the sword intent in the early morning, Jian Zidan's gaze immediately shot towards the direction of the sword intent.

Li Menglong quickly sprung up and said: ”This is the direction of the forbidden grounds.”

Wang Meng Long waved his hand, causing Li Menglong's body to disappear into the distance along with a sonic boom. Jian Zidan said to Yan Shi: ”Meng Sheng, today is your birthday. Don't miss the auspicious time.”

The drum finally rang, and just before the auspicious hour came, the guests who were looking forward to it whispered to each other, delaying to the last moment. Could it be that Tianyao Sect had met with some trouble?

With over a hundred sects coming to congratulate him, Tianyao Sect had a lot of face. Furthermore, all the disciples of Tianyao Sect, who were thousands of miles away, had rushed back to participate in the Sect Leader's birthday celebration.

Seeing two elders guarding the door, when Li Menglong and the girl arrived, an elder personally opened the door, and the girl faintly understood who the person in the room was.

Sure enough, Jian Zidan appeared in front of the young girl. The young girl knelt on the ground and said: ”Disciple Mu Yafeng greets Supreme Elder.”

Li Menglong stood at the side and said: ”Reporting to the Old Ancestor, Mu Yafeng is a disciple of our sect with pretty good strength. She was the one who comprehended the sword intent just now.”

Jian Zidan gazed at Mu Yafeng with clear eyes, and said after a long while, ”You've cultivated the [Sword of Truth], what a pity.”

Mu Yafeng quietly listened while Jian Zidan spoke in a lonely voice, ”If you only train in the rudimentary Basic Sword Techniques and thus comprehend the sword intent, then you will be my successor.”

Even someone as calm as Mu Yafeng couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this. It turned out that she had missed out on such an opportunity.

Jian Zidan was the only Dazun within the entire Qin Chu Empire that had accumulated good fortune to become Jian Zidan's disciple. This was something countless people yearned for even in their dreams.

Jian Zidan lowered his eyes and said: ”Your talent is not bad, truly a pity.”

Jian Zidan threw the sword beam towards Mu Yafeng and said, ”You have your chance, walk your own path, your will is firm, and is worth creating. You have to remember this, don't be emotional, the [Sword of Truth] seems to be overbearing, but it has a fatal weakness.

Mu Yafeng received the sword beam without showing much joy on her face. It was as if she had heard that she had missed the chance to pay Jian Zidan a visit and didn't show any disappointment on her face. She was so calm and collected that it exceeded her imagination.

Li Menglong was extremely disappointed. He had thought that Mu Yafeng, this rare genius in Tianyao Sect, would be moved to tears just because he was in front of Jian Zidan. However, he did not expect that just because Mu Yafeng had cultivated the Sword Art of Truth, she had brushed past an extremely rare opportunity.

The guests who had come to congratulate him walked into the main hall. Not every guest had the qualifications to enter the main hall, so the main hall couldn't hold so many people. Only the Sect Leader could bring in a junior.

Chu Qianye followed Tie Liuqing into the main hall, and many pairs of eyes stared straight at Chu Qianye. They wanted to look carefully at the young man who caused such a commotion.

Chu Qianye acutely sensed that a pair of invisible eyes were watching him. When he comprehended the sword intent in the early morning, his spiritual sense became abnormally sharp.
