106 I Am Not the Person That You Think I Am (1/2)

“Sect Leader… I sincerely advise you this sentence, please go back. This is not an opponent that you can cope with.”

When they met, Xie Chi gave his frank and sincere advised.

If this were three months ago, perhaps he would not have this much conviction—although he already knew Wang Lu likely came from one of the top sects within the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and had a deep background at that time, however, a deep background was not a free pass card in the Immortal Cultivation World. In the face of powerful opponents, the Seven Stars Sect also has its own way to survive; it was the so-called snake has its snake way and rat has its rat way. Especially since Wang Lu was still young and his cultivation shallow, there were many means to send him dispiritedly back to his sect.

However, three months later, after witnessing the crazy development of the Wisdom Sect, Xie Chi no longer held any contempt. The young privileged kid was not an amateur who descended the mountain on experiential learning mission, but a very capable professional worthy of admiration. Now even without Wang Lu in the background, the current Wisdom Sect was not just a random low-level sect that could be destroyed in a pinch. With Wang Lu’s guidance, each of the loose cultivators who had joined the sect had progressed in their cultivation level. Especially those who previously had long been trapped in a bottleneck, often, with a single remark that exposed the crucial point from Wang Lu, their cultivation would immediately undergo rapid growth!

And Xie Chi, who was one of the first batches of followers and thus became the backbone of the Wisdom Sect, naturally didn’t fail to receive the benefit of Wang Lu. Using the resources at hand, after importing large quantities of Six Harmonies Pill, he successfully found a technique called “Dazzling Flowers”, which, as it turned out, complemented his cultivation deficiency. Although it didn’t advance his cultivation level, his power had actually risen a length!

This was f*cking similar to holding a beautiful woman’s thighs; it was extremely comfortable!

Now, Xie Chi didn’t have the divided heart anymore; even if there were no Three Corpses Brain Pill, he would not betray that young cultivator with low-level Qi Cultivating Stage.

If it were not the Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader who personally came, he would have nearly forgotten that he was once a member of the Seven Stars Sect. However, since now they had met, the memory of their previous friendship welled up in his mind once more, so Xie Chi didn’t want to be hostile and thus gave a heartfelt advice.

The Sect Leader stared earnestly at Xie Chi’s eyes, trying to find out if there were a shred of hypocrisy and deception… However, he was disappointed.

Xie Chi was indeed serious. The guy had indeed also thought of their previous good relationship, deep down still respected him, and had a deep understanding of his power and prestige as a Xudan Stage cultivator… Yet, he still made such a warning.

“Why?”

Xie Chi helplessly shook his head. “I’m sorry, I can’t say it… Taking a risk to meet with the Sect Leader here is the limit of what I can do.”

The Sect Leader was startled for a moment, and then nodded in understanding, but then he sighed. “If it’s like this, I have no way to explain it to everybody.”

Xie Chi wryly smiled. “You are the Sect Leader, why should you explain it to everybody? Moreover, is there anything that you should be accounted for? From the establishment of the Seven Stars Sect till today, don’t tell me everything went smoothly according to the plan? A little setback does not warrant an accountability, does it not?”

The Sect Leader was still unwilling. “I don’t even know who the opponent is!?”

“Even if you know, what can you do? Some things are better not to know about. Sect Leader, the Seven Stars Sect development was quite smooth these recent years, however, in the Immortal Cultivation World, the Seven Stars Sect is still far from being the top player. Any one of those top level sects can turn Seven Stars Sect into ashes… the sect should find the right way to exist.”

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader keenly captured several key points.

It was the work of the top level sect? No wonder previously even the people from Union of Ten Thousand Immortals purposely gave trouble for them—it was indeed the only explanation… However, if the one behind this was from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, why would that person come to this kind of deserted countryside ridge? The spiritual energy in Wang Family Village was quite abundant, but did it warrant the attention from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals?

Unfortunately, no matter how he asked, Xie Chi would not say anything more than that. The Sect Leader knew that it was useless to press him for an answer, and if he forced it, then their friendship would cease no more.

Just before leaving, the Sect Leader wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know anything good to say.

He still remembered that several years ago in the Ten Thousand Flowers House Sect, the two people drinking and chatting while imagining the future. At that time, the Seven Stars Sect had just suffered from the Hall of Mortal Reason and had yet to have the today’s solid foundation, and Xie Chi was only a futureless, hopeless low-level disciple. When the two were nearly intoxicated by the wine, they made an agreement to turn the Seven Stars Sect into an upright and righteous sect and bring it into the fold of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, so that in the future, their cultivation road would be wider and be able to explore the unlimitedness of the Immortal Cultivation Path.

Unfortunately… the former companion was today’s hostile enemy, but in the future… where would the road ahead lead to? He had cultivated for a hundred years and finally reached the Xudan Stage, but if in this life there was no big opportunity, then perhaps his Immortal Cultivation Path would stop at this point—something that he really could not be reconciled with.

Thinking to this, the Sect Leader’s mood had turned sour. However, when he was about to leave, his Jade Mansion slightly trembled, snapping his Primordial Spirit out of its funk.

“Who is it!?”

“Oh, it’s me.”

The Sect Leader only heard the voice, not the figure. Inwardly, he scolded, “Who am I?”

However, on the other hand, when he scanned his surrounding with his Xudan Stage’s Primordial Spirit, he could not find the position of the speaker… There were only two possibilities here. First, the Dog Ear Mountain had been planted with loads of arrays that were sufficient enough to suppress his Primordial Spirit’s perception, and the second, the other side’s cultivation was higher than him! However, regardless of which, none of them was good news for him.

The Sect Leader’s heart was moved. On the surface, he maintained his composure while secretly activating his magical tool defense. His usual weapon, the Seven Stars Atlas, was also in his hand, which could be launched at any time.
