Words : 1591 Updated : Oct 3rd, 2025

*Drap... Drap...* Ba Yongshan was rushing towards an area in the Desolate Sect, which was an area reserved for special disciples of the sect, whose status was higher than that of core disciples, but two male disciples immediately stopped him as soon as he wanted to enter the area. However, Ba Yongshan immediately took out his Ba Clan plaque and showed it to them. "I came here to see my elder sister, Ba Shuxiang, and my brother-in-law, Chi Zhongguo." Upon hearing the two names and seeing the Ba Clan plaque in his hands, the two disciples immediately allowed Ba Yongshan to enter, prompting him to rush to the building at the very back. In that place, Ba Yongshan saw a man in his early forties beating up some wooden dummies that he had deliberately arranged to be his training targets, and he was none other than Chi Zhongguo. Chi Zhongguo had a tall and sturdy body, and all his muscles were clearly visible under his dark skin, especially since he lived in such a hot desert. Furthermore, his body was adorned with a variety of scars, including sword scars. "Oh? When did you get here? Did you come with your sect members? I heard from Aunt Zhiqiang that people from your sect came here to spar." "I just arrived at this sect, so I came straight here to see you and my sister, brother-in-law." Ba Yongshan replied as he approached Chi Zhongguo. "Anyway, I did come with some of them, and you must be happy to hear this news, especially since Qin Zheng led us on our journey this time." "Qin Zheng, huh?" Chi Zhongguo muttered softly as he rubbed one of the sword scars on his chest. "She was the first person to injure me, and she gave me this wound during our last spar, so I considered her my rival. However, her life turned upside down after she got married and gave birth, and she even had to take a leave from the sect to take care of her only daughter. As a result, her cultivation has not progressed over the past few years, leaving me truly disappointed in her. She is no longer a worthy opponent for me, so I have no interest in meeting her again." Ba Yongshan nodded in understanding. "Qin Zheng's cultivation is still stuck at the 10-Star Soul Realm, whereas yours has already reached the 3-Star Earth Realm, so she is not your opponent. Anyway, where is my sister? Why isn't she accompanying you?" "Shuxiang is meeting Elder Li Xintong now, but she will be back soon." Chi Zhongguo then questioned Ba Yongshan, particularly after noticing his peculiar facial expression. "What's wrong with you? Is something bothering you?" Ba Yongshan nodded and explained to Chi Zhongguo his desire to get Ye Lian. He also informed his brother-in-law about Zhang Fei [1], but he did not tell his brother-in-law about his relationship with the five clans, especially since he thought that his brother-in-law would not be willing to help him if he knew about their relationship. "Ye Lian, huh?" Chi Zhongguo muttered as he nodded. "I met her once, when we came to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and she was indeed a beautiful and talented woman. Her sword skills were on par with Qin Zheng's, earning her the title of one of the best of her generation, so I'm not surprised if you have an interest in her. However, I did not expect that her relationship with Gu Zhan would fail, especially since the two of them looked good together, and she even chose a younger man as his replacement." "Are you willing to help me defeat Zhang Fei [1], brother-in-law?" Chi Zhongguo looked at Ba Yongshan with a frown. "I don't know how he trained, but his killing intent is truly terrifying, even though his cultivation is still far below mine. That's why I'm not confident that I can defeat him, so I need your help to do so, and I hope Ye Lian will reconsider her decision to choose such a weak man." "All right, I'll help you, or Shuxiang will keep nagging at me." Chi Zhongguo immediately went back into his room and got dressed, but he came out again a short time later and led his brother-in-law away from the area. However, they bumped into Ba Shuxiang, who immediately asked them. "When did you arrive, Yongshan? Where are you two going now? Why didn't you wait for me?" Ba Shuxiang was not beautiful, but she was not ugly either, and she was slightly above average. She had shoulder-length brunette hair and a slightly tall figure, but her body was a little plump, and her C-Cup breasts also looked round. What was most intriguing about her were her unusual eyes, especially since both were reddish-light brown. "I arrived not too long ago, Big Sis. Anyway, I asked my brother-in-law to help me with something, so we will go to the sect's training ground now." Hearing Ba Yonghsna's answer, Ba Shuxiang immediately glanced at Chi Zhongguo, who nodded at her. "Are you joining us, Big Sis?" "I have nothing else to do right now, so I'll go with you guys." Ba Shuxiang then followed the two men. "Moreover, I heard that Qin Zheng is leading you guys this time, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Besides, I still haven't avenged my defeat to her, so I want to have a rematch with her today, and I will definitely defeat her this time." "Haha." Ba Yongshan laughed upon hearing that. "Hey, Big Sis! Your cultivation is already at the 3-Star Earth Realm, like that of my brother-in-law, so you should be able to defeat Qin Zheng easily, and you might even force him to give up being a sword master." "You underestimate Qin Zheng too much." Ba Shuxiang replied to her younger brother with a shake of her head. "In swordsmanship, cultivation does not determine the outcome of a fight, but our mastery of swordsmanship will determine victory or defeat. Despite my reluctance to acknowledge it, her proficiency in swordsmanship surpasses mine, a fact that led to my defeat a few years ago. Anyway, why do you need help from my husband? Is there anyone who dares to oppose you in our sect?" I already gave him a chance to live once, but he still seems to want to look for trouble with me, so I'll see what they have planned for me.' "Fei!" "Hmm?" Zhang Fei [1] immediately looked up at the sky and saw Zefyr flying down towards him before landing on his shoulder. "Did you find the item you were looking for?" "No." Zefyr replied with a disappointed expression. "At first, I thought the aura I sensed was that of the sunfire lotus herb, so I rushed to look for it, especially since it is very useful for alchemy. Unfortunately, I sensed it wrongly, and I found the desert nightshade herbs there instead, which are highly poisonous." "Huh?" Zhang Fei [1] immediately turned to Zefyr. "Did you take those herbs?" "Yes." Zefyr immediately took out the herbs and handed them to Zhang Fei [1]. "Be careful! These herbs are very poisonous." "Hahaha!" Instead, Zhang Fei [1] laughed as he accepted the herbs. "Zefyr, I already told you that I have poison immunity, so the poison from these herbs is nothing to me." Zefyr nodded slightly while letting out a soft sigh. "I had forgotten about that, especially after witnessing so many of your unusual abilities. Anyway, what are you going to do with them? A few drops of these herbs' poison can even kill a heaven-rank beast, and a human would die if he or she were to be exposed to one or two drops." "Isn't that amazing?" Zhang Fei [1] asked with a smirk. "I will face Shen Haoran soon, so these herbs' poison will be useful against him and his loyalists, and we can deal with them more easily." "Since when did you get into a relationship with Shen Yu?" Yi Na abruptly questioned Zhang Fei [1]. "Hehe." Zhang Fei [1] chuckled and turned to Yi Na. "Actually, not only has Shen Yu agreed to become a member of my harem, but Shen Xueyi is also a member of my harem now. That's why I will help them get rid of Shen Haoran and his loyalists, so the situation in the Shen Clan will be more stable, and she can continue to lead the clan. Anyway, your husband should also be attending the wedding, right?" "No." Yi Na shook her head at Zhang Fei [1]. "My husband has more important matters, so he asked me to come to the wedding myself." "I see." Zhang Fei [1] nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will bring you back to the southern region in two days, and you can attend the wedding, but I will be the one marrying Shen Yu on that day.' Yi Na replied with a nod of agreement. "All right, I myself can't possibly leave the Wei Clan for too long." - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System 3.
