217 Dead Bald Thief, You Dare To Fight Over A Nun With This Poor Taoist!? (1/2)

Number one Jindan in the Nine Regions?

Spirit Sword Mountain is really too modest… Li Han sighed with emotion, this is not just the number one Jindan, this is the number one and number two Jindan!

When Wang Wu impressively revealed her double golden cores, Li Han knew that it would be difficult to settle the matter through force.

If two peak Yuanying were to fight one number one Jindan, their winning odds could reach as far high as seventy to eighty percent. But if they were to deal with double golden cores, their odds would be less than forty percent… From the beast’s early warning instinct, Li Han’s dao’s heart within his Jade Mansion gave out a clear instruction to him: do not casually push for a fight.

Perhaps if they really fought it out, Li Han and Shao Bo, through the remarkable ability of their nascent souls, could somewhat save the situation and suppress the opponent. However, that was just a probability; who knew how many cards were still hidden in the opponent’s hand? For Li Han and the others, the emergence of double golden cores meant that the opponent’s strength had at least more than doubled. However, it also meant that many of the previous information regarding this Fifth Elder of Spirit Sword Sect could be concluded as wrong.

For this Fifth Elder, the opinion of most of the people in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was that she was unbearable and unremarkable. The so-called number one Jindan in the Nine Regions was more like a ridicule—all of her fellow disciples have already reached at least peak Yuanying, only she alone, this good for nothing, was still in Jindan and proclaimed as the king of Jindan. Twenty years ago, she fought with his Junior Brother Shao Bo. It was clear then that though her fighting power far exceeded that of ordinary Jindan, but in the face of Yuanying or higher Stage, it was still quite lacking.

Now it seemed like seeing was indeed believing. The number one Jindan in the Nine Regions, the focus was not on the word Jindan, but on the number one… The first person who gave her this title did not mean to praise her just because of looking at the face of Spirit Sword Sect as one of the Five Unique, and also did not mean to mock her for being stuck in the Jindan Stage, unable to make a breakthrough. It meant that even though she was a Jindan, she was still the number one!

As a cultivator who had experienced the breakthrough from peak Jindan to Yuanying, Li Han was very clear that within the framework of existing Immortal Cultivation theory, double golden cores was practically almost impossible. The fact that she was able to break the thousands of years old of Immortal Cultivation common sense was more frightening than the double golden cores itself!

Such a person was really not suitable to become an enemy of. Not to mention that, by revealing her double golden cores, it was equal to laying out her cards. If they were careless, it would be difficult to leave room to maneuver.

At that time, this matter would not just be a dispute of several elders, but would naturally develop into a sect war between Beast Master School and Spirit Sword Sect. Though Beast Master School was of a high-rank sect, and their sect leader’s cultivation base was even unfathomable, to really oppose one of the Five Unique… At least, Li Han could not afford this responsibility.

In fact, all the disputes within Union of Ten Thousand Immortals would not go to the last step. The common practice was that the two sides would mutually show off their muscles, and the one who lacked the confidence would then choose to back down. And now, after Wang Wu had revealed her double golden cores, her imposing manner and confidence had reached the peak, while Li Han and Shao Bo’s confidence had been greatly shaken.

Therefore, it was better to settle the matter peacefully.

As one of the top three Elders in Beast Master School, for a long time, Li Han had never taken the initiative to back down. However, this rare back down was not appreciated by the opponent.

”Can things be resolved peacefully?” Wang Wu shook her head and smiled. ”I’ve taken out my golden cores, yet now you want to resolve this matter peacefully?”

Li Han’s countenance turned grim. ”Otherwise, do you really want to cause a war between the two sects? At that time, it’s highly likely that Union of Ten Thousand Immortals would implement comprehensive sanctions on your sect! To be clear, this is my Beast Master School’s parcel of land, and your disciple is here to rob my sect of the immortal beast, which is not acceptable no matter where!”

Though Li Han’s tone of voice was tough, people familiar with the method would know that strong tone often has weak backing.

However, Li Han’s point of view could not be ignored. If the previous battle between Wang Lu and Tiger King was only on the level of personal grievances, once it rose to the level of elders, full on fight often meant war between sects. And in today’s system, it was impossible for a sect war to circumvent the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. And within the framework of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, no matter what, reasons was paramount.

Even Shengjing Sect, in their road to domination, must also pay attention to taking action with just reasons. For example, when a demonic sacred tool was discovered within your sect, or the common people under your sect’s jurisdiction have no way to make a living… seizing other people’s treasure was utterly unjustified. Straight murdering other sect’s cultivators would immediately cause a retaliation that even Shengjing Sect could not support. Therefore, now that Li Han saw the opponent’s ‘muscle’ was more ‘prominent’ than him, he chose to retreat and then tried to crush the opponent with reason.

If they could not hold back the immortal beast from leaving, they wanted to make Spirit Sword Sect pay as high price as possible. However, Li Han and Shao Bo’s main point of conviction was that Grand Cloud Mountain was the domain of Beast Master School, and the action of Spirit Sword Sect was equal to burglary!

However, Wang Wu was not going to be polite; she turned back and said, ”Wang Lu, your turn!”

Wang Lu wryly smiled, stepped forward and then said with clear and resonant voice, ”The place has the owner, but the people do not. Your Beast Master School occupies the Grand Cloud Mountain, becoming the owner of this place. The mountain, the rivers, and even the place’s surrounding spiritual energy can be used by you. However, all the creatures in the Grand Cloud Mountain are not your sect’s slave, they have the right to choose their own home.”

Seeing that Wang Wu did not personally argue with him, but instead sent her Xudan Stage disciple, Li Han could not help but wrinkle his brows. ”Do you have a qualification to speak here?”

Wang Wu sneered. ”Don’t want to talk huh? Then let’s do it, my golden cores are starving for a fight.”

”You!” Li Han was inwardly boiled with anger. The other side had let a disciple argue with him, a Great Elder, clearly she did not acknowledge that he has the qualification to talk directly with her!

He, Li Han, has been cultivating for two hundred years, how could he accept such a condescending treatment! Even when he previously went to visit Shengjing Sect, those Deity Stage Elders there still treated him with politeness. She was just a Jindan, yet… no wonder although her strength was so strong, her reputation in the Immortal Cultivation World was a mess!

However, he immediately had a change of mind. Since he had determined not to fight, the more outrageous the other side’s performance was, the more it was favorable to him. Right now, each of their words could be presented as evidence in front of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals arbitration institution!
