Capítulo 869: Chapter 383: Retreat Without a Fight, Equal Standing (Part 3)
Zheng Fa, wielding the “Qingping Sword,” gazed at True Immortal Yun, feeling even more confident than before:
According to Zhang’s deductions, his chance of escape was quite high.
Since the Immortal Trapping Sword appeared in the Chongxuan Sect, the powers of Jiushan Sect and Haori Mountain have never been this close!
Feeling Zheng Fa’s fighting spirit, the edge of the “Qingping Sword” beca increasingly bright and sharp, as if in response.
The more Zheng Fa appeared unafraid, the more True Immortal Yun frowned, seemingly hesitant, with a hint of caution as he looked at the Immortal Sword in Zheng Fa’s hand.
Zheng Fa was puzzled, thinking, why was this Haori Mountain Dao Fruit being so cautious?
True Immortal Yun, filled with thoughts unknown, finally turned his head towards Haori Mountain, briefly showing anger, and then glanced at Zheng Fa before retreating swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds dispersed, and the world beca clear.
Xie Qingxue murmured, “…Did he run away?”
Zheng Fa was also a bit surprised. True Immortal Yun arrived grandly, yet left cleanly?
Could be that his slaying of Luo Sanxian intimidated him that much?
Despite the confusion in his heart, exchanging a glance with Zhang and the others, he couldn’t help but smile:
Victory!
…
“This…”
In the Heavenly Pool Water Pavilion, an elder with his mouth agape was watching the four of them, including Zheng Fa, laugh together on the light screen, utterly speechless.
Mingde Master, however, was in no mood to laugh, staring blankly at the light screen, not yet comprehending.
Everything had happened too fast:
Zheng Fa sohow regained his mana and appeared even stronger than before.
More bizarrely, True Immortal Yun of Haori Mountain retreated without a fight, without a single word.
A disgrace, truly.
This sudden change left him at a loss.
Jiang Chengkong spoke: “Was Zheng Fa’s sword too powerful, making True Immortal Yun retreat without giving a fight?”
Mingde Master nodded, finding so sense in that idea, while looking at the elder, whose face showed embarrassnt with a hint of fear.
Regretful, seemingly more so of previous comnts.
They discussed the matter in the Water Pavilion but could not ascertain the reason. However, everyone knew Zheng Fa’s swordsmanship in slaying Luo Sanxian and forcing True Immortal Yun to retreat was an earth-shattering event.
The ensuing Xuanwei situation would likely beco more complicated.
Though they were of Divinity Transformation, once so lofty, now even they could not see the future clearly.
“That Yun returned quickly, indeed.”
A voice suddenly entered the Water Pavilion.
The six of them stood up abruptly, respectfully saying: “Ancestor Li!”
A stream of Purple Qi flowed directly into the Water Pavilion, dissipating to reveal the figure of a shabby-looking middle-aged man, the very Daoist Li who had participated in the prior Six Schools Conference.
Tongming Master’s heart stirred: “Ancestor, when you ntioned Yun, did you an True Immortal Yun of Haori Mountain?”
Immortal Yun nodded.
“Ancestor, you just…?”
“I paid a visit to Haori Mountain.”
The six Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Water Pavilion widened their eyes.
“Unfortunately, Haori Mountain’s Array is formidable, and Yun returned extrely fast.”
Everyone then realized why True Immortal Yun had retreated so hastily.
“Ancestor, you intended to…?”
“Haori Mountain beca uniquely vulnerable; Luo is still in slumber, Lu is at the Leiyin Temple.” Daoist Li said matter-of-factly, “If I could level Haori Mountain, who knows how long it would take for Luo to reform his Immortal Body, and Lu’s Golden Immortality would be hopeless…”
“For our Supre Dao, it indeed is a great opportunity.”
Upon hearing this, the elder suddenly laughed: “True Immortal Yun retreating without a fight isn’t because Zheng Fa is too powerful, but because of your功劳, Daoist Li? Shouldn’t the Jiushan Sect be grateful to us for that?”
His expression revealed regained confidence, reclaiming so superiority as a cultivator of the Five Sects.
“Grateful? Grateful for what?” Daoist Li appeared bemused, “I am rely an Independent Immortal, it’s impossible for to finish off Luo.”
“…”
“Since Yun was returning, I imdiately ran back…”
“Who should be grateful to whom?”
The elder was stunned, gradually understanding:
It seed… Zheng Fa wasn’t much afraid of True Immortal Yun after all.
Instead, he created a magnificent opportunity for the Supre Dao, only hindered by Ancestor Li’s lack of strength, unable to achieve further feats.
“By the way,” Daoist Li, coming here, was not intending to discuss this, continuing, “Prepare the gift list.”
“Gift list?”
Daoist Li pulled out a blue scroll from his sleeve, saying: “Ancestor Xuanding’s decree, ordering to visit the Jiushan Sect.”
“…”
“Visit? Ancestor, you?”
The elder asked in surprise, seemingly finding it a bit much for Daoist Li to take the initiative to visit, given his high status.
But Daoist Li misunderstood his previous evaluation of Zheng Fa, “Do you wish to go?”
He frowned, appearing slightly troubled.
“Let Mingde go; you don’t know Zheng Fa, going abruptly could be presumptuous.”
Mingde Master noticed the elder’s face turning red in embarrassnt, quietly amused, for Daoist Li harbored no malice, rely subtly pointing out a harsh truth:
According to Zheng Fa’s actions today, the position of the sixth sect in Xuanwei seed secure—so much so that Ancestor Xuanding and Daoist Li had changed their previously detached approach, now seemingly showing an interest in friendship.
Yet this senior-most Divinity Transformation of the Supre Dao… was perhaps not quite ‘qualified’ to casually see Zheng Fa, at least in Daoist Li’s view.
