Chapter 165 - Return
Special thanks to Josephine F. and Sebastien T. for sponsoring this chapter.
……..
Unwillingly, these Multiple Mountain Martial School’s elders stopped fighting immediately and began gathering towards their Head Elder-six of these elders had fallen in this battle, this number was not that huge at all. As for those Sky Cloud Martial School’s elders, they certainly didn’t chase the enemies and gathered back around the Head Elder as well.
A small wasteland dyed in crimson blood and over ten corpses, a scene where anyone would be shocked at first glance, lied in between these two groups of people.
By now, all the others had seen the tablet held by the Rudra Martial School Head Elder, and they were all shocked as well.
“Why on earth does the Rudra Martial School have this tablet?! They’re only a rank 8 institution!”
“The owner of this Young Azure Dragon Tablet is not actually that terrifying, but what’s behind that person is unspeakably powerful…”
“Exactly, the Young Azure Dragon Tablet appeared here in the South Zhuo Region, this isn’t gonna be that simple. We have to warn the others about this when we get back. Tell them to not mess with the Rudra Martial School’s Head Elder, don’t even provoke any of their disciples. Anyone who does not listen to us will die!”
“Indeed, in case they make some huge, stupid mistakes and bring our institution a disaster.”
The Head Elder of the Purple Sun Martial School popped up his eyes and gazed at the tablet held by the Rudra Martial School Head Elder; the embodiment of a cyan dragon coiling around the tablet was now spurting streams of dense smoke, and had been gazing at the world with its pair of frosty eyes, as if it was able to see through anyone’s heart and shake people’s souls.
“How can it be possible?! Is she an offspring of that…person? What does she want from our Windy Nation?”
The first person that popped into his mind was not the Rudra Martial School’s Head Elder, instead it was Long Biyun, the Patriarch of the Rudra Martial School. That woman was a complete mystery, but now he finally grasped a trace of truth through layers of fog.
“No wonder the Rudra Martial School have risen in only around ten years and became one of the five top-ranked institutions of the Windy Nation. It turns out that she’s an offspring of that person…If I’m right, he had been expecting the resurgence of the Nine Evil Cult since long ago. He is just waiting for the right opportunity.”
The Sky Cloud Martial School’s Head Elder let out a long breath.
The Fourth Elder said worryingly, “I thought only a couple of not so powerful people were still alive among the remaining forces of the Nine Evil Cult, but it turns out that I was so wrong. Otherwise, that man wouldn’t set a finger into the Nine Evil Cult in over ten years ago, as a preparation for what’s gonna happen after today.”
The Head Elder nodded and responded, “We’re only a rank 9 institution, even though we’re as powerful as rank 8 institutions, we are always as weak and inconsequential as a bunch of ants in those people’s eyes. Therefore, we should not worry too much and mind only our own business. We won’t even have a chance to deal with those big troubles.”
“You’re right.”
Smiling bitterly, the Fourth Elder rubbed his own jaw. He realised that he had been worrying way too much. If he took part in a battle among those people who were all in legendarily high grades, he would certainly die; a thousand martial artists at the same level as him would also die without question, even if they joined hand to hand. He should just work harder on cultivating himself and try to achieve the peak-level advance Clasping Yuan Realm as soon as possible, rather than worrying about these unpredictable things.
Going back to Luo Hanshan, Xujing and Zhu Mei, Ye Chen gave the sword back to Zhu Mei and said, “Senior sister, thank you for lending me your sword, it would be so much more difficult for me to defeat them if you haven’t.”
Zhu Mei grinned and said, “With your current power and potential, you’ll soon have your own low-ranked great sword. I heard that your family possesses an inherited, legendary sword called Dead Shadow Sword. That sword is capable of breaking the air resistance and launching attacks at an amazing speed. It could even kill someone without being noticed.”
“Eh, that sword does exist, however, only the current Patriarch of our family can have it.” The Dead Shadow Sword was one of those top-grade weapons among all low-ranked great weapons. Its amazingly fast speed was its most effective features. It could allow its owner to defeat his enemies within the shortest time. However, Ye Chen had never thought about becoming the family Patriarch; after all, that was not what he wanted.
Giving a contemplating look at the tablet held by the Rudra Martial School’s Head Elder, Ye Chen abruptly asked, “What exactly is the Young Azure Dragon Tablet? Is it some kind of big deal?”
Lou Hanshan, who was always the most knowledgeable one among all disciples, shook his head and responded, “I don’t know either, maybe we’re not powerful enough to learn that kind of information. Look, even outer elders from all institutions don’t have any idea about that tablet, only some core inner disciples seem to know a little about it, but clearly, they didn’t want to tell.”
“No matter what, the Rudra Martial School have just done us a huge favour.” Ye Chen was clearly aware of that, although the Sky Cloud Martial School was as powerful as all rank 8 institutions, none of the rank 8 institutions could still compare with this rank 7 institution. Generally, the Multiple Mountain Martial School’s elders were slightly more powerful than the Sky Cloud Martial School’s elders; although the Sky Cloud Martial School could fight evenly against them for a short time, in a drawn-out fight, the difference between these two institutions would be quickly exposed.
Xu Jing didn’t talk, she was never a talker. She only took a glance at the Emerald Martial Palace’s side, finding their Head Elder who had been fearfully staring at that Young Azure Dragon Tablet for a long time, with a bleak expression.
In the middle of the battlefield, the Rudra Martial School’s Head Elder gradually descended from the air, landed back on the ground and said, “The Heaven Dream Ancient Region is a place of magical opportunities, but it’s also a region of deadly dangers. Once our disciples enters the region, they should directly face their destinies. Not to mention that you do not have evidence, even if you do, you can’t just avenge your disciples carelessly. Those dead disciples are no longer geniuses, they are not worth fighting for anyway.”
The Head Elder of the Multiple Mountain Martial School yelled out harshly, “If we don’t avenge him, the death of our top-ranked disciple would be in vain!”
“Since you have sent him into that ancient region, you should have well prepared for his death. If every institution acts like your Multiple Mountain Martial School and have revenge for their fallen disciples, we would have to expect a great war.”
“How could they even compare with Hong Qianjun?” Said another elder of the Multiple Mountain Martial School.
“Two of our Rudra Martial School’s disciples have fallen as well,” said the Rudra Martial School’s Head Elder while her face darkened down, “Now I suspect that the people who killed our disciples were from your Multiple Mountain Martial School; should I kill you all and avenge our disciples? If so, I can just use this Young Azure Dragon Tablet, and this will destroy an entire area of thousands of miles in radius of your institution.”
“This is…How, how could it be our disciples…” A voice of one of the Multiple Mountain’s elders lowered down. He didn’t know how to refute the Rudra Martial School Head Elder’s words. If he insisted on holding against the Rudra Martial School, he might truly bringtroubles to the Multiple Mountain Martial School. The Multiple Mountain Martial School could indeed be counted as one of the most powerful institutions among the nine nations, but comparing to the Rudra Martial School’s background, the Multiple Mountain Martial School wasn’t even worth mentioning.
“Alright, this ends here. We shall go back to our institutions.”
By now, the enormous rainbow stream that had directly connected the earth and heaven had gradually faded, and the light gate was already invisible. As for when it would appear again, it would be ten years later from now.
