Chapter 245: Chapter 138: Yan Wushuang Always Gets Hurt For Xiao Yuying and the Sunset Sword Immortal, things had become a bit tricky; both of their faces looked rather unpleasant. Beside them, Zheng Fa was a bit more relaxed in his demeanor. The Cold-faced Fairy has been to the secret realm, but what does that have to do with me, Jiushan Zheng Fa? “Master Han, can you now clarify what the so-called secret of the Tianhe Sect is?” After a moment of silence, Xiao Yuying asked the Sunset Sword Immortal. Now, being on the same boat, she probably did not want to be kept in the dark. The Sunset Sword Immortal shook his head and said, “This matter... I think it’s better if you don’t know.” “...” “Is it related to Divinity Transformation?” Zheng Fa was somewhat surprised inside, this Ling Ye Fairy is spot on with her guess... This lady knows quite a bit! Xiao Yuying, seeing the surprised look on the face of the Sunset Sword Immortal, smiled faintly: “Master Han, I do not know of your Tianhe Sect’s secrets.” “But I have experienced many secret realms, and I have long known about the imperfections of the Divinity Transformation Method... It’s just that it’s inappropriate to disclose.” Zheng Fa was also speechless. Don’t be fooled by Xiao Yuying’s outspokenness—she has her secrets too! By speaking out now, she was also showing her sincerity. The Sunset Sword Immortal sighed and said, “Fairy Xiao, since you know, then I won’t keep it from you anymore...” He then shared with them the news about the new method. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xiao Yuying furrowed her eyebrows, seeming unable to understand. “Master Han, are you implying that the Demon Sect’s old methods from the past epoch, or what we presently cultivate as the Immortal Law, cannot accommodate Tianhe Venerable’s new method?” She suddenly asked. “That’s my guess.” “But that’s not right...” Xiao Yuying’s questioning left everyone stunned. “Where is it wrong?” Xiao Yuying looked at them, thought for a while, and then said: “Because the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Sect... was also pursuing the creation of the Immortal Law!” Zheng Fa was shocked, looking at the Sunset Sword Immortal who also had wide eyes filled with disbelief. Seeing that he seemed somewhat incredulous, Xiao Yuying shook her head, “I visited a secret realm from the early period of the previous epoch, where there were praises for the Saint Ancestor, oh, Saint Ancestor is what we now call the Demon Sect’s founder’s sacrificial chants...” She seemed to be recalling something. She slowly said: “According to what was said in those sacrificial chants, these Demon Ancestors had created today’s Immortal Law based on the old methods of the previous, previous epoch.” Hearing this, Zheng Fa’s mind was indeed in chaos— Earlier, Elder Han’s words had given him an illusion: That both the present Immortal Law and Demon Sect’s Skill were ancient inheritances, with those of the Demon Sect being old antiques in the historical trash, the roadblocks to the new method. But according to Xiao Yuying’s words, those Demon Ancestors were also creators of the new method... He looked at the silent Cang Kong, as if seeing the struggles of generations of cultivators over nearly a million years through two epochs... “No wonder...” the Sunset Sword Immortal gently shook his head, “The master once said that at least one of the Demon Ancestors was a Path-Opening Ancestor.” Zheng Fa was shaken. This was what the Sunset Sword Immortal had told him on their way to Jiushan Sect initially. He was warning him not to carelessly enter the Demon Sect’s secret realm. Initially, they all thought that this so-called Path-Opening Ancestor had created a cultivation method like the Lifebound Magical Treasure. It turned out that this Demon Ancestor was also on the path of the new method. The crowd remained silent for a long while, only to hear the Sunset Sword Immortal sigh: “The new method... ah, it is so difficult...” Zheng Fa understood why the old man said these words. Through two epochs, within the Xuanwei Realm, the most talented, the most brilliant, the most dominant—were only the thirteen Demon Ancestors and the Tianhe Venerable. The Demon Ancestor created the Demon Sect’s Skill. Tianhe Venerable created the Tianhe Method. But now, the Divinity Transformation Method still has flaws... ... This topic was also elusive for them. But with such an open and honest discussion, both sides now had a basis for cooperation to solve the problem. “So, Master Han, you mean to say, this secret realm is probably related to the Tianhe new method inheritance, and it’s best for us not to meddle with it?” Xiao Yuying asked the Sunset Sword Immortal. “Yes... but now...” Old Han sighed, “We have probably become a thorn in someone else’s eye.” “I’m not worried about the cultivators who are hunting treasures.” “I’m worried they think we’ve obtained the treasures or cultivation method from this secret realm.” “Even if we leave now, others will assume we’ve stolen the treasures secretly.” “...” Xiao Yuying frowned. Clearly, her fearless nature was also wary of this matter. It was then that Yan Wushuang seemed to have thought of something and spoke up: “Since we want to keep it a secret...” “Hmm?” “Just kill them all, wouldn’t that keep it a secret?” “...” Xiao Yuying looked at the Sunset Sword Immortal with a somewhat peculiar expression. Zheng Fa internally sighed—this Tianhe Sect is truly fortunate to have such a son as the Sect Leader. “Don’t kill! Besides, we are of the Righteous Path! The Righteous Path!” Elder Han smacked Yan Wushuang on the head as he scolded. Zheng Fa thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “I have a contingency plan—well, no, an idea.” The Sunset Sword Immortal was startled, promptly saying, “Let’s hear it.” “Simply put, you two should have a fight.” Xiao Yuying and the Sunset Sword Immortal were startled, then immediately understood Zheng Fa’s idea. “You mean, us joining forces is too conspicuous, better to feign internal conflict to lower their guard.” Zheng Fa nodded, and added, “On the other hand, it’s best if the fight looks real.” “After a struggle, being out of strength, it would be easier for people to believe that we’ve given up on treasure hunting.” Xiao Yuying and Sunset Sword Immortal exchanged glances and both nodded slightly. “This way, indeed we all have a reason to get away...” Elder Han stroked his chin, “But, how to make the act more convincing?” Xiao Yuying replied: “There are many Nascent Souls around, if we fake it, we might not be able to fool them. It’s best if someone really gets hurt.” After speaking, their gazes turned to Yan Wushuang. Yan Wushuang was stunned, pointed at himself, “Me?” Both of them nodded their heads. “Why not Elder Han...” The aura of the Nascent Soul on Elder Han flashed and then quickly disappeared. “Fairy Xiao... forget it!” Yan Wushuang pointed at Zheng Fa, “Why not this fairy! It was her suggestion!” Zheng Fa was surprised. Yan Wushuang, you dare not provoke two Nascent Souls, and you come to bully me, a weak woman in the Foundation Establishment Stage? “She’s not suitable.” Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuying directly shook her head and refused. Yan Wushuang pouted his mouth, looking towards Sunset Sword Immortal. This cold-faced fairy was protected by Xiao Yuying. But he himself is protected by Elder Han! In terms of strength, Elder Han is even better! He turned his head, only to see Elder Han nodding slowly towards him, “She really isn’t suitable.” “...Elder Han? Whose side are you on?” ... The four of them agreed on a strategy and continued towards the deeper part of the secret realm. As they moved further inward, the blood stains on the ground grew darker, and a mournful deep red seemed to seep through. Half a day later, the Bronze Hall previously mentioned by Xiao Yuying appeared before them. The upper part of the hall was shaped like a tower. Below was a square-shaped building. Perhaps due to the erosion of time, rather than being bronze, the hall was more a dark green-black. At this moment, as the sun was setting, the sky and the earth were enveloped in red, with only the Bronze Hall standing between heaven and earth, dark enough to make one’s heart sink. The house faced their direction, featuring a small door with an etching of a symbol very familiar to Zheng Fa—The mark of Tianhe Venerable. In the middle of the emblem was a hole, seemingly that of the large lock mentioned earlier by Fairy Xiao. It seems Zheng Fa need not act as a locksmith now — he resumed his old job as a playwright! ... Many cultivators had already gathered around the Bronze Hall. With a glance, Zheng Fa was somewhat intimidated by the aura of these cultivators— The red mist on the road was extremely bizarre; the cultivators who could arrive here were not of low level. Among them were a few Nascent Souls Zheng Fa recognized, while the rest were mostly like Yan Wushuang, Golden Cores. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage like Zheng Fa were indeed few. He felt a bit nervous. However, the expressions of these cultivators looking at him were even more anxious! Zheng Fa was stunned—he suddenly understood: Sunset Sword Immortal on his left, Ling Ye Fairy on his right. Why be nervous! ... Those cultivators who had arrived early were apparently stopped by the lock on the hall door. With the arrival of Sunset Sword Immortal and Xiao Yuying, they became even more cautious— Not to mention Xiao Yuying’s fame in treasure hunting in Xuanwei Realm. Sunset Sword Immortal and Yan Wushuang were also from the legitimate Tianhe Sect; who knew if there was any secret entrance left in this Bronze Hall! The cultivators exchanged glances, seeming to have reached an unspoken understanding, suddenly encircling the four of them. Zheng Fa was startled. Did this group of people intend to kill their strongest competitors? Were they not afraid of offending the Tianhe Sect? After a while, Zheng Fa realized that these people had left a passage for the four, leading directly to the main doors of the Bronze Hall. He then understood their idea— Killing Xiao Yuying and Sunset Sword Immortal was too risky. They surrounded the four, mainly afraid that they would monopolize the treasures... Elder Han and Xiao Yuying looked around, then at each other, and the four walked towards the Bronze Hall. “This is truly a treasure left by the ancestors of my Tianhe Sect!” Elder Han stretched out his hand, apparently trying to open the grand doors of the Bronze Hall. “Wait!” Xiao Yuying suddenly spoke. “Hmm?” “How should we divide the treasures inside?” “This originally belongs to my Tianhe Sect!” Elder Han snorted coldly. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuying seemed to panic. “Wasn’t it agreed...” ... The surrounding cultivators watched the two argue, exchanging looks, yet not entirely convinced. Xiao Yuying and Sunset Sword Immortal exchanged a few heated words, appearing to lose their tempers. Sunset Sword Immortal’s hand flashed with rainbow light, gripping a short, round Immortal Sword. Xiao Yuying was no less inferior, with a series of magical treasures shining around her, appearing to have four or five Magical Treasures on her. The two couldn’t reconcile their differences and began to fight. Sunset Sword Immortal, being a well-known Great Cultivator, seemed to have the upper hand. Xiao Yuying clenched her silvery teeth, and suddenly, a Treasure Bead flew out from her sleeve, directly striking Yan Wushuang so powerfully he was sent flying towards the Bronze Hall. “Xiao Yuying!” Elder Han, furious, quickly chased after Yan Wushuang. “Go!” Xiao Yuying, seemingly no longer daring to fight, pulled Zheng Fa and ran. Zheng Fa could see the expressions of the surrounding cultivators, a mix of enjoying the drama and relief—it seemed their act was quite successful. Yan Wushuang’s head banged against the grand doors of the Bronze Hall. To everyone’s surprise, the doors of the Bronze Hall opened directly! A roar came from inside: “Tianhe traitors, daring to come here?” An aura that sent chills down the spines of all present cultivators surged from inside, sweeping towards them. Zheng Fa was stunned—wait, is using one’s head as a key a trend in Xuanwei Realm?
