Chapter 143 3 Rules
Chapter 143 3 Rules
The disciple had anticipated Xuan Tian Sect's attitude. Remembering the sect leader's instructions before they set off, he straightened his back and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Our sect leader said that if you are afraid of being outdone, you don't have to come."
These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the elders present speechless.
It took them a long while to find their voices. "What did you say?"
The elders, who were used to being flattered, had never heard such clearly provocative words before.
The elder immediately slammed his hand on the table, wanting to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.
The disciple's body trembled, and he immediately shouted, "If you try to injure me, you're issuing a challenge to our sect!"
The Grand Elder scoffed, "What do I have to fear from the insignificant Boundless Sword Sect!"
He raised his hand.
"No."
Bai Yan led Wen Yan and Yu Nian'er in from outside.
Upon seeing him, several elders immediately stood up from their seats and respectfully greeted him, "Sect Master."
The disciple, seeing him, finally felt relieved. This sect leader was the only truly upright and selfless person in the entire Xuantian Sect.
The Xuantian Sect's current achievements are all thanks to this highly respected sect leader.
"Elder Wei, he is a guest of the sect, you must not be rude."
Wei Mao tried to salvage the situation, "Sect Master, you didn't hear his arrogant tone just now, he..."
"Alright," Bai Yan interrupted him, "He's just a junior, why bother with him? As a major sect, we're not afraid of being criticized for fighting with juniors."
Since he had said that, Wei Maocai could only suppress his anger.
Bai Yan asked, "Did the Boundless Sword Sect send you to deliver the invitation?"
"Yes, Sect Master. Our Sect Master specifically instructed us to invite you here. She said that the Xuantian Sect is a benchmark in her heart. Not only her, but all of us disciples also yearn for the Xuantian Sect. If you would do us the honor of coming, our entire sect would be very happy."
These were well-spoken words, leaving the elders speechless. This kid was quite the smooth talker; he clearly hadn't been like this when he spoke to them before.
“Master,” Wen Yan said, “the cultivation world has witnessed the relationship between Xuantian Sect and Wuya Sword Sect recently. If we go there, wouldn’t that be taking the initiative to show goodwill?”
Wen Yan had a lot of opinions about Yun Fuzhao, feeling that her achievements today were all thanks to the Wuji Sword and had nothing to do with her personally.
Yu Nian'er said gently, "Sect Master, I think we should go. After all, the Boundless Sword Sect is currently ranked third. As the number one sect, there's no reason for us not to go."
Their invitation to us is also a recognition of our sect's strength, isn't it?
That makes sense, Bai Yan nodded in agreement. "The fact that the Boundless Sword Sect sent us an invitation doesn't need to be publicized; the entire cultivation world will know. Our going is a demonstration of our magnanimity."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Bai Yan had made up his mind, so they said nothing more.
The matter of Xuantian Sect going there can be considered settled.
The disciple returned to the Boundless Sword Sect without stopping, fearing that the elder would assassinate him.
"Sect Master, Sect Master!"
When Yun Fuzhao saw him return, she asked, "Are they coming or not?"
The disciple chuckled, "Of course I have to come."
Yun Fuzhao laughed too, "Did they give you a hard time?"
The disciple immediately recounted the events in detail.
Yun Fuzhao was surprised that Yu Nian'er would take the initiative to persuade Bai Yan; no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem to have any good intentions.
However, Yun Fuzhao was not afraid of anything.
It's worth mentioning that she originally thought Yu Ze wouldn't come because he was in seclusion, so she thought she would send the message first and ask him to send a few demons as a token gesture. Unexpectedly, he said he would come in person.
If he weren't one of the main characters, he could have paused his seclusion.
As for Qi Huai and Ge Kui, Yun Fuzhao also relayed the message, and Qi Huai readily agreed. Ge Kui added that he was currently investigating the Soul Devouring Array and might not be able to come.
Yun Fuzhao knew he couldn't rely on him, so he didn't care.
The most important thing is still the Hall of Rebirth. She's already made such a boast, and if Gong Yuhe doesn't come, she'll really lose face big time.
However, Gong Yuhe had promised her before, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would break his promise.
Yun Fuzhao thought about it and decided to go to Peach Blossom Island. Senior Zhen was a connection she wanted to cultivate; he was a big shot in the Hall of Rebirth, and she had always wanted to recruit him from the Boundless Sword Sect.
When Yun Fuzhao arrived at Peach Blossom Island, Zhen was still sitting by the lake fishing, and even the spot where he was sitting was exactly the same.
She tiptoed over, but before she got close, something hit her on the head, causing a sharp pain. Yun Fuzhao touched it and only felt something wet.
It's a water droplet.
She realized that he could make a drop of water appear as a pebble. Zhen was indeed a hidden talent.
"Senior, I've come to see you."
Yun Fuzhao placed a bag of fruits at his feet. It's in the Chinese people's bones that they must bring a gift when visiting someone.
Zhen didn't even glance at her, staring intently at the calm lake surface.
Hey, this old man has become aloof again after not seeing him for a month.
Yun Fuzhao sat down next to him and took the initiative to start a conversation, "Our sect's celebration is in a couple of days, would you like to come and have some fun, senior?"
Zhen then replied: I'm not going.
"Why don't you go? Aren't you bored staying here all by yourself?" Yun Fuzhao glanced at his fish basket, which still hadn't caught a single fish. "There are plenty of fish in the river behind our sect. You don't even need bait to catch them."
The person who had been motionless and standing like a stone statue finally reacted, but only showed interest. After a while, he wrote two words: "Not going."
"Since Gong Yuhe will be going too, you can come along."
Zhen frowned and gestured: He'll go too?
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Yes."
Seeing his solemn expression, Yun Fuzhao asked curiously, "Does the Hall of Rebirth stipulate that disciples cannot participate in the celebrations of other sects?"
Zhen shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say more.
Yun Fuzhao could roughly guess that, like the Xuan Tian Sect, they felt that going there would lower their status. Moreover, the Rebirth Hall didn't even take the Six Realms seriously.
Honestly, Yun Fuzhao didn't expect Gong Yuhe to agree at that time.
Yun Fuzhao said, "Is the Hall of Rebirth really this strict with its disciples? They even control their freedom of movement..."
She was just talking to herself and didn't expect Zhen to pay any attention to her.
Then a few words came to mind: extremely strict. Not only for the holy sons and daughters, but also for ordinary disciples. The Hall of Rebirth has three thousand rules.
"..."
My God, the Boundless Sword Sect has at most a hundred members.
Yun Fuzhao gave her a sympathetic look and then seized the opportunity to say, "It's terrifying. Unlike our sect, which has fewer people and less trouble, the cultivation atmosphere is better, and the disciples are all young people, making it easy to communicate. I wonder how pleasant it would be to be a teacher there."
