Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

As Nangong Chi finished speaking, silence fell over the room. Neither the high-ranking members of the Haoran Immortal Sect nor the Taixu Sword Sect had anticipated this.

As Nangong Chi said, if she detonated the Different Flame Seed, Chang Wen would have no chance of subduing it. Not only would he fail to subdue it, but he would also have a very high probability of being killed by the explosion.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng's expression softened slightly, and he continued to berate Kong Jian, "The dignified leader of a sect is less sensible than a little brat. I think you should simply abdicate and let this brat become the sect leader!"

The peak masters and disciples all deeply agreed. Why such a vast difference in abilities among members of the Taixu Sword Sect?

Kong Jian remained silent; engaging in verbal sparring was not his style when there was no real benefit to be gained.

"Gentlemen, do you agree or not?"

Nangong Chi spoke again, saying, "As you all know, unless we want to, you cannot cause my Taixu Sword Sect any real loss. Therefore, I am now offering the Strange Fire Seed as an apology, and my attitude is already very sincere. If you do not agree, this matter will be difficult to resolve."

Ouyang Feng remained silent.

Lin Baoding and the others remained silent, discussing the matter telepathically.

"If we don't let Kong Jian leave, a massive battle among Mahayana cultivators will inevitably break out. The entire Dao Peak and the Haoran Immortal Sect will be sunk, which would be a huge loss. Even if a battle really has to happen, the battlefield should be at the Taixu Sword Sect, not at my Haoran Immortal Sect."

"After this matter is over, I will head to the Taixu Sword Sect and surround their disciples to retaliate."

"This anger is building up inside me, and it needs an outlet. If I don't stop them, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully. I have to go and stop them."

"Since you insist on going, why don't we strike at their root? Let's agree to this brat's request first and send those bastards from the Taixu Sword Sect back. Then, Junior Brother Ouyang, you can go to the Taixu Sword Sect and settle your personal score."

"Yes, yes, it's a personal grudge, a personal grudge."

"Although it's a bit unethical to do this, Kongjian attacked first. We don't need to follow the rules, let's just do it this way."

After discussion among the peak masters, they quickly came up with the best answer.

As the sect leader, Lin Baoding was responsible for negotiating the negotiations.

He looked at Nangong Chi, "Since you've gone this far, I'll agree. But let me make this clear beforehand: if I go to Wuliang Mountain and see any disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect, don't blame me for being ruthless."

To prevent the Taixu Sword Sect from secretly causing trouble, Lin Baoding made it clear beforehand.

"Senior, rest assured, our Taixu Sword Sect will certainly keep its word. May I ask if there is anything else, senior? If not, our Taixu Sword Sect will take our leave now."

Nangong Chi clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Go."

Lin Baoding stood with his hands behind his back, his posture indifferent. No matter how deep the grudge between the two sects was, he would not, like Kong Jian, make trouble for the younger generation.

But if the younger generation doesn't make a fuss, the older generation definitely has to.

After speaking with Nangong Chi, Lin Baoding looked at Kong Jian and said in a light tone, "Kong Jian, when you go back, tell your sect disciples to be careful when they go out, lest they accidentally lose their lives."

"Also... don't bother coming to the Grand Feast a few months from now. My Grand Immortal Sect... the Taixu Sword Sect and excrement are not allowed inside."

The attitude is clear.

In the past, the Haoran Immortal Sect would extend invitations to all the major forces in the Northern Wilderness for the Grand Feast. The Taixu Sword Sect would also attend uninvited.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Baoding made the matter clear this time, preventing the Taixu Sword Sect from causing trouble again.

"The Grand Feast is a momentous event in the Northern Wilderness; how could I, an old man, not attend?"

Kongjian's answer was quite unexpected.

I thought he would lose face and be too ashamed to show his face in front of the powerful people of the Northern Wilderness, but I didn't expect him to come anyway.

Why would a powerful figure from the Northern Wilderness be willing to disregard their reputation to come here? It's intriguing.

"Hey Kong Jian, you're supposed to be a bigwig in the Northern Wilderness, how can you have no shame at all?"

Ouyang Feng couldn't stand it any longer and retorted directly, "We've made it perfectly clear to you that the Taixu Sword Sect and excrement are not allowed inside. The Taixu Sword Sect and excrement are not allowed inside, yet you still have the nerve to come and join in the fun?"

"Heh, grudges are grudges, and face is face. As an important figure in the Northern Wilderness, how can I ignore this grand event?"

Kong Jian didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, "The Grand Feast of Vastness comes once every ten years. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another ten years. Naturally, I have to come and join in the fun."

Just kidding. He'd already been losing sleep over the emergence of the Yin-Yang Saint Body from the Haoran Immortal Sect. Now, with the likes of Chang Wen and Chu Xinghe appearing, how could he possibly stay idle?

Even if it meant losing face, he had to come and see what was going on.

With that thought, he turned and prepared to leave.

"That old bastard's shameless! He'll wait until Chang Wen comes out of seclusion!"

Ouyang Feng was furious. He was waiting for Chang Wen to come out of seclusion! He was determined to go to the Taixu Sword Sect to stretch his muscles and let them experience what death entanglement was all about! He would get back all the humiliation he had suffered this time, with interest!

crackling-

Just then, the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The scene was very familiar to everyone present; the tribulation of lightning was coming.

And the object that triggered the tribulation was not hard to guess; it was Chang Wen.

As people looked over, Chang Wen's aura was steadily rising. In just a few breaths, he reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Suddenly, Chang Wen slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, two beams of different colors shot out from them, reaching the horizon.

After a long while, the beam of light disappeared. Only then were people able to see Chang Wen in his entirety.

At this moment, his left eye was like an ancient glacier, while his right eye shone like a blazing sun. A mysterious light swirled around him, emanating a faint, oppressive aura.

Spiritual energy automatically formed a somersault beneath his feet, and the dark clouds above his head automatically cracked open, revealing auspicious clouds above.

Auspicious light shone down from the sky, falling upon Chang Wen and draping him in a hazy glow. From afar, he resembled a young deity.

The entire Dao Peak fell silent as a result.

I was stunned.

If Chu Xinghe's brilliance can be understood as that of a young prodigy, then Chang Wen added a touch of extraordinary refinement to that foundation.

When other outstanding individuals from the same region meet them, their first thought is not to compete with them, but to observe and admire them. They feel an inexplicable urge to praise them, without generating even the slightest competitive thought.

It's unclear whether it was the effect of the auspicious clouds or the psychological effect of Chang Wen's previous performance.

After a brief silence, Dao Peak began to slowly boil, like warm water simmering over a low flame.

"Can any senior student tell me, is Chang Wen even human?"

"It's a person. It has two arms and two legs..."

"Then why do I feel like he's not human? My cultivation level is higher than his, so why do I feel so insignificant when I look at him?"

"Clouds rise beneath his feet, auspicious light shines upon him—what kind of treatment is this? Is he the chosen one?"

"I don't know. What's with his eyes? One is a deep, dark blue, and the other is the same color as the sun. He's so handsome."

"Handsome? Didn't you notice that when he opened his eyes just now, two beams of light shot out, instantly evaporating all the spiritual energy?"

"Wow, it really is. What's going on...?"
