"Hahaha! Send all the members of Heaven Slaying to Spearhead? Could you try not to make me die laughing?" After confirming it, Ouyang Xiong burst into laughter. The Heaven Slaying Division has the most disciples of the Taiji Sect, and it even has Tianjue stationed there, so how could Xia Liu possibly empty it out. "Old Master, can Spearhead even accommodate so many people from Heaven Slaying?" Xia Liu didn't pay any attention to Ouyang Xiong's mockery, instead raising his head and looking at Fang Huasheng. "Hehe, there's plenty of space at the Spearhead Base, enough to accommodate three thousand men." Although they didn't understand why Xia Liu would say such a thing, given the current situation, all they had to do was cooperate with him. "Xia Liu, what exactly do you think you're doing? The members of Heaven Slaying are all Taiji Sect disciples, not to mention my master is still there..." Ouyang Lingtian was full of bitterness. Xia Liu had bitten off more than he could chew. If he couldn't back it up, he himself would be the one to suffer. "No worries, I can handle everything." Xia Liu gave Ouyang Lingtian a reassuring smile. He then turned his gaze towards Tianjue, "Tianjue! Would you be willing to take your disciples to the Liuhai Sharp Blade to assume office?" "What!" Members of the Spearhead Team like Pan Jiang immediately burst out in astonishment. Xia Liu had actually just given an order to Tianjue. And he did so with such authority; was he trying to throw his life away? Even though Tianjue had been defeated, he had not been utterly vanquished. The backlash from an Earth-Rank Warrior was by no means trivial. It was the same with everyone from the Heaven Slaying Division. Xia Liu dared to issue such commands to the Sect Leader, which was akin to courting death. The Sect Leader might have lost to a single palm, but he hadn't sustained any injuries. If they were just a bit more careful, they believed that Xia Liu would definitely pay a heavy price. "Hahaha! Kid, Tianjue is my good friend; why would he listen to you? Moreover, you've been very disrespectful already. I hope you get to see tomorrow's sun." Ouyang Xiong laughed, as he had known Tianjue for several decades and the amount of alcohol they had drunk together amounted to several tons. Even so, he wouldn't dare to command Tianjue in such a manner. Yet, Xia Liu dared to do so, which meant he was bound to face Tianjue's towering rage! Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire Consequently, everyone turned their attention to Tianjue, but he seemed to show no expression, leaving them wondering what he was thinking. "Hey, hey, Sect Leader Tianjue, you can speak now, answer me, are you willing to take Heaven Slaying over to the Liuhai Sharp Blade Division?" Seeing that Tianjue remained silent, Xia Liu repeated the question. "Uh... Tianjue is willing to lead the way! I will follow the senior's decree!" Tianjue was nearly scared to death; he had just been thinking about the matters of the Taiyi Sect when Xia Liu called on him at this moment. Wha—!!! "This..." "What happened!" The entire scene erupted into chaos the moment Tianjue responded. He actually obeyed Xia Liu's words, and there was even a sense of a hierarchy between them. No one knew what Tianjue was thinking, not even able to guess. An Earth-Rank Primary-Level Warrior nearing seventy years of age was actually telling a young man in his twenties that he would follow his decree! Decree! Senior! These were terms of respect used within the Warrior Realm only for High-Strength Martial Artists. Could it be that the young Xia Liu held a Cultivation above Earth Rank? But even if so, Tianjue, as the leader of a sect, would not likely agree to his demands. Everyone was confounded, including Ouyang Lingtian, Ouyang Xiong, and Fang Huasheng. They were the ones who knew Tianjue best. That the leader of a sect was now taking orders from Xia Liu was simply too terrifying. "How is this possible! My friend! Don't mess with me, have you been poisoned or something?" Ouyang Xiong looked at Tianjue with fear and disbelief. Tianjue was Heaven Slaying's biggest trump card; if something happened to him, then the significance of Heaven Slaying would cease to exist. "My friend, I haven't been poisoned, in fact, I've never felt as excited and happy as I do now," Tianjue said with a smile to Ouyang Xiong. "Master, please stop this, what exactly happened? I'm really scared…" Ouyang Lingtian said with a mournful face as he walked up to Tianjue. "Lingtian, you truly are the pride of Taiji Sect!" Without any explanation, Tianjue patted Ouyang Lingtian on the shoulder, his benevolent gaze trembling unceasingly as he looked at him. Ouyang Lingtian was dumbfounded; he thought his master's mind had been messed up by Xia Liu. "Xia Liu, did you hit my master too hard just now, did you make him stupid?" "Not at all, I used less than a third of my strength when I sent him flying," Xia Liu replied bitterly. "Lingtian, I'm not stupid, everyone please rest assured," Tianjue responded to Ouyang Lingtian, then turned around and began to explain to everyone behind him. Afterward, he signaled for Ouyang Lingtian to join him on the platform. Before the countless shocked onlookers, Tianjue clasped his fists and knelt on one knee before Xia Liu: "Junior of Taiji Sect's Yanjing branch, Sect Leader: Tianjue, pays respect to Elder Taiyi!" "Huh? Elder Taiyi!" "Elder Taiyi!" "The legendary origin of Taiji Sect, Taiyi Sect!" Hearing Tianjue formally address him in such a manner, all the disciples of Taiji Sect were reminded of what they had learned: though they had served their country over the years, they had never forgotten the secrets of their sect. Yet, in executing missions, facing life and death, they often forgot the objectives they strove for. The moment they were reminded, they all came to their senses. An eerie scene followed. All the disciples of Taiji Sect knelt on one knee, their loud chants echoing across the land: "Paying respects to the Elder Taiyi of Taiyi Sect!" The sight of this unanimous prostration struck those who were not from Taiji Sect, their pupils constricting sharply. They suddenly realized... Xia Liu's identity... Absolutely terrifying indeed! Ouyang Lingtian's legs trembled; his eyes widened as he looked at Xia Liu—never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Xia Liu was a person from the legendary Taiyi Sect! The ancestral teachings of Taiji Sect stated that one must revere a member of Taiyi Sect as if they were the founding master. Anyone who disrespected them was to be stripped of their cultivation and cast out of the sect. Just as Ouyang Lingtian was about to prostrate himself, Xia Liu gave him a glare, making him not dare to move an inch. Xia Liu quickly helped Tianjue to his feet: "Sect Leader Tianjue, you're taking this seriously." "And all of you, stand up. Even if I were truly an Elder Taiyi, you wouldn't need to do this—too old-fashioned," Xia Liu joked. Hearing Xia Liu's teasing, all the disciples of Taiji Sect rose with bitterness. "Hahaha! Well done, Xia Liu!" Fang Huasheng couldn't help but burst out laughing from the tower above. He remembered what had been said here before, at that time, Xia Liu had mentioned if things got serious, he would have Tianjue kneel on one knee! Who could have thought! No matter what, Fang Huasheng had never imagined that not only would Tianjue kneel, but so many of Heaven Slaying did too! "You've won, you've won…" Ouyang Xiong sat down on the ground, utterly drained. The moment Tianjue knelt on one knee, he had lost, completely and utterly. "Old Master Ouyang, I didn't mean to do this. The reason I came here is quite simple – I wanted to offer you an apology," Xia Liu said solemnly as he expressed his intentions, seeing Ouyang Xiong in such a dejected state.
