Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 81

Two Primordial Infant Realm Cultivators

“Hahaha, how are you doing, Brother Jiuhua?” greeted Daoist Qing Song, suppressing his seething rage.

Daoist Qing Song could no longer guarantee he could off Reverend Jiuhua, resulting in him struggling to find a way to bury his ambition he just brazenly revealed.

Daoist Qing Song pressed down on Reverend Jiuhua with his spiritual energy as a means of ascertaining the latter’s strength. Reverend Jiuhua maintained his smile as he returned the favour. Their exchanged gusted up a tornado and darkened the sky. The tornado took detours around them and went to the audience, instead, forcing the audience to step back and try to find their balance. The short burst calmed down, and the dark clouds cleared out as abruptly as it started. The two cultivators were still seen with their smiles, undisturbed.

“Hahaha, you are still in good health and energetic as always, Brother Qing Song.”

“I could say the same for you.”

The confrontation ended in a draw. Those who perceived Reverend Jiuhua to be their saviour were glad he could rival Daoist Qing Song for it meant there was someone who could stop Daoist Qing Song’s ambitions. The two biggest sects never harmed other sects, and it seemed the status quo was protected. However, they failed to account for the fact that other sects were safe until then because all patriarchs were Golden Core Realm cultivators. To conquer any other sect would’ve required a hefty investment. Since there were two Primordial Infant Realm cultivators, there were two who could easily wipe out the others, however.

“Brother Qing Song, I just heard you intended to establish Green Pine Alliance to combat the elemental demons. I think it’s a decent idea. Having said that, my education methods are also unique. By that account, I also plan to establish Jiuhua Alliance with the intention of recruiting all young disciples to train them. How about we see who produces better disciples?”

Wrong the audience was. The situation merely went from one kingdom to two kingdoms; they were still in despair as the consequence of the outcome was identical.

“Since we are both doing this for the greater good, I presume nobody else has any objections? You can weigh your options out and give us your answer in a month’s time. How does that sound?” Daoist Qing Song proposed.

Daoist Qing Song’s source of confidence was the youth in red. The youth in red could definitely massacre Jiuhua Sect. Then, there would be only one option left for everyone.

Daoist Qing Song knew Reverend Jiuuha had to have had someone’s aid to have ascended, but he decided not to expose the latter yet. For all Daoist Qing Song knew, Reverend Jiuhua’s helper could be watching from nearby. Daoist Qing Song presumed Reverend Jiuhua was aware of the necessity of a third-party intervention. To hide his presence, Daoist Qing Song reasoned the youth would take it upon himself to get rid of Reverend Jiuhua.

Smiling, Reverend Jiuahua expressed, “I agree with Brother Qing Song’s proposal.”

Mu Yu wanted no part in the affair as he was focused on rescuing his shifu. Why bother quarrelling and competing if all life in Celestial Prison would be wiped out in a decade? Their spat wasn’t going to change that fact. If there was something worth investing his time in, it would be trying to verify if Tian Ran was the one secretly helping Reverend Jiuhua. Reasoning the youth in red wouldn’t do something that’d conflict with his agenda, Mu Yu believed Reverend Jiuhua’s helper had to be Tian Ran, although he wasn’t convinced Tian Ran purely wanted to help Reverend Jiuhua. She hadn’t proved herself a prudent individual yet, after all.

Mu Yu: If you captured my shifu, I’ll find him. That guy should also be where my shifu is.

Mu Yu waited for Daoist Qing Song to leave so that he could tail the latter, hoping the daoist would lead him to his shifu. His shifu was likely held captive somewhere secretive, and it was ludicrous to search the entire mountain for said location. He wasn’t an earth user, so there was no express method for him.

The celebration went on as scheduled, except Reverend Jiuhua also benefited from the same honour as Daoist Qing Song. The two Primordial Infant Realm cultivators suppressed their bloodlust to carry on with their charades. The celebration lasted the entire day and consisted of a variety of ceremonies. Gifts and a sumptuous banquet were a given. The guests had to attend with their brows contracted and forced smiles due to their frustration and the dilemma to come.

Once everyone had departed, Reverend Jiuhua said, “I shall take my leave now, Brother Qing Song.”

“Stay safe, Brother Jiuhua.”

After Reverend Jiuhua left with a scoff, Daoist Qing Song made his way back to his place. Meanwhile, Mu Yu silently travelled from tree to tree.
