92: Haotianzong Mountain

Li Changfeng’s face was covered in black lines.

He hadn’t expected that a casual remark of his would actually hit the mark.

It was just that Li Changfeng felt a bit unconvinced.

Yaoguang Peak Lord: “Changfeng, judging by your expression, it seems you don’t believe what I’ve said.”

“Actually, I was originally from the Haotian Sect. To be precise, I am the daughter of a Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect.”

“After my father fell for the Haotian Sect, the Sect Leader of Haotian began to force me to marry him.”

“But he already had over a dozen Dao Companions, and I refused, so he imprisoned me.”

“Later, someone from the Haotian Sect helped me escape.”

“After leaving the Haotian Sect, by chance, I joined the Kaoshan Sect.”

Li Changfeng listened silently, not speaking.

Everything the Yaoguang Peak Lord said had never been mentioned by anyone before.

But with the Yaoguang Peak Lord’s beauty, being forced to become a Dao Companion was not strange.

After all, not every Sect was like the Kaoshan Sect.

The Kaoshan Sect was extremely united; apart from a very few bad apples, they generally wouldn’t resort to coercion or enticement.

As for the Haotian Sect, he didn't know.

The Yaoguang Peak Lord continued, “The Sect Leader of Haotian is not a good person.”

“Even his position as Sect Master is ill-gotten.”

“However, his backer is very strong, so in the end, nothing came of it.”

“Going to the Haotian Sect will be very dangerous, but I still want to go.”

“Because I received news that my younger brother has arrived at the Haotian Sect.”

Seeing the Yaoguang Peak Lord’s worried expression, Li Changfeng frowned.

If it was truly as the Yaoguang Peak Lord said, that Sect Leader of Haotian was indeed not a good person.

He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, truly a scoundrel of the Cultivation world.

Li Changfeng thought for a moment and said, “I can accompany you.”

“You are a member of my Kaoshan Sect, so it’s impossible for me to let you face this alone.”

“Although his Haotian Sect is strong, my Kaoshan Sect is not weak either.”

“If he really angers me, we’ll play for high stakes.”

The Yaoguang Peak Lord stared blankly at Li Changfeng. She had always thought Li Changfeng wasn’t very reliable.

And he was extremely greedy for money, which could be seen from the previous Seven Peaks Martial Meet.

She hadn’t expected that when push came to shove, Li Changfeng would truly step up.

He simply wouldn’t worry so much.

The Yaoguang Peak Lord said gratefully, “Thank you, Changfeng.”

“Consider the suggestion I made earlier.”

“This elder sister has never found a Dao Companion; perhaps she was waiting for you.”

Li Changfeng smiled, “Let’s resolve your matter first before discussing that.”

“The Sect Leader of Haotian has many Dao Companions; if it’s by mutual consent, then it’s fine.”

“But if it’s by coercing female cultivators, that’s different.”

“I, for one, cannot stand such bullies.”

“Don’t worry, I will help you resolve this.”

“If he’s not convinced, we’ll beat him until he is.”

Good!

The Yaoguang Peak Lord’s face was full of smiles, and there was something more in her eyes as she looked at Li Changfeng.

Unlike before, when she only teased Li Changfeng.

Now, she truly felt a hint of affection for Li Changfeng.

The Yaoguang Peak Lord asked, “Changfeng, when shall we depart?”

“Are we still taking your Great Treasure Sword?”

Li Changfeng shook his head, “Previously, I flew with the sword to accommodate my Disciple.”

“This time it’s just the two of us, so let’s teleport over; no need to waste time.”

“After resolving your matter, I still need to search in the Southern Region to see if there are any suitable little ones to be my Disciples.”

Good!

The Yaoguang Peak Lord naturally wouldn’t refuse; she was already burning with anxiety.

Ever since she learned that her younger brother had gone to the Haotian Sect, she had been very worried.

If possible, it would be best to be at the Haotian Sect right now.

Li Changfeng and the Yaoguang Peak Lord disappeared from Tianquan Peak, and when they reappeared, they were already at the foot of the Haotian Sect mountain.

Here, the ground was stained crimson, a result of the battle between righteous and demonic forces.

The combined casualties of both sides amounted to one hundred thousand cultivators, who had perished.

The severity of the battle was evident.

The Yaoguang Peak Lord frowned slightly; the smell of blood here was very strong.

“The battle between righteous and demonic forces, this time the losses are not small.”

“This applies to both the Haotian Sect and the Demon Cult Alliance.”

“But no matter what, my younger brother cannot suffer any harm at the Haotian Sect!”

“Changfeng, shall we go up to the Haotian Sect now?”

Li Changfeng nodded and walked towards the Haotian Sect mountain gate with the Yaoguang Peak Lord.

Upon reaching the mountain gate, a young man was being humiliated.

Haotian Sect Disciple: “Ye Jian, give up.”

“You have no talent for Cultivating Immortals. The Sword Sect won’t take you, and it’s even more impossible for our Haotian Sect to take a piece of trash like you.”

“If you continue to be an eyesore here, we’ll break your legs and throw you into the Ten Thousand Mountains to feed the Yao Beasts!”

The young man was silent; he had a pair of sword-like eyebrows.

He held a sword in his hand, and his eyes held determination.

Ye Jian spoke, “Senior Brothers of the Haotian Sect, I, Ye Jian, truly wish to join the Sect.”

“I will Cultivate diligently and will not bring shame to the Haotian Sect.”

Hahaha!

Haotian Sect Disciple: “How laughable!”

“You, a fellow without even a Spiritual Root, where do you get the confidence to say such a thing?”

“I was going to just let you roll away, but now I’ve changed my mind.”

“Don’t you like swords?”

“Then I’ll cut off your hands, and let’s see how you practice your sword!”

With that, the Haotian Sect Disciple raised his blade and struck at Ye Jian.

His speed was extremely fast; Ye Jian probably had no power to resist.

Li Changfeng frowned, just as he was about to make a move, Ye Jian actually drew his sword.

In his hand was an ordinary sword, yet it blocked the Haotian Sect Disciple’s strike.

One must know that although this Haotian Sect Disciple’s Realm was not high, he was still a Late Stage Qi Cultivator.

Logically speaking, Ye Jian shouldn’t have been able to block it.

Ye Jian swung the sword in his hand, not directly clashing with it.

Instead, he employed a technique of deflecting force, redirecting the power of the opponent’s blade.

After deflecting the opponent’s force, Ye Jian’s sword tip was already pressed against the Haotian Sect Disciple’s neck.

“This Senior Brother, you’ve lost.”

“May I participate in the Haotian Sect’s Disciple selection?”

The Haotian Sect Disciple’s face was incredibly ugly; he, a Cultivator, had actually been defeated by Ye Jian.

If this got out, how could he establish himself in the Haotian Sect?

He retreated sharply, his face grim, and attacked again.

But this time he was smarter; he directly threw a talisman at Ye Jian.

Although it was the lowest-grade Flame Burst Talisman, it could still blast Ye Jian to smithereens.

“Go to hell!”

Ye Jian’s face changed drastically; he knew he couldn’t resist the power of this talisman.

Boom!

The Flame Burst Talisman was detonated, and Ye Jian was directly engulfed by flames.

The Haotian Sect Disciple said coldly, “Since you’re seeking death, then don’t blame me!”

“Wasting one of my precious low-grade Flame Burst Talismans, you truly deserve to be torn to pieces.”

A playful voice sounded.

“Is that so?”

The flames dissipated, and the figures of Li Changfeng and Ye Jian appeared.

Li Changfeng stood in front of Ye Jian, blocking the power of the low-grade Flame Burst Talisman for him.

Ye Jian stared at Li Changfeng’s back, then knelt on both knees.

Li Changfeng had saved his life, which was worth him kneeling.

“Ye Jian thanks Senior for saving his life. May Senior consider taking me as a Disciple?”
