"Lingtian, go and explain to your grandfather," Xia Liu said, having received no response from Ouyang Xiong. So he left the task to Ouyang Lingtian. "Alright." "Elder, now..." Tianjue didn't know how to express his emotions and could only inquire about Xia Liu's next move. "Let all these kids disperse, and let's go see General Ouyang." "Yes, Elder Taiyi has commanded, everyone disperse!" "Understood!" The disciples of Taiji Sect, as well as others present, left the stage in an orderly fashion within a minute's time. But the restlessness in their hearts had yet to subside. Today, they hadn't only witnessed a battle of an Earth-Rank Warrior. They had also seen a person from the legendary Taiyi Sect, which was even more exhilarating than a dream. As for Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang, they had been in a state of shock ever since they returned to the dormitory. Xia Liu could command all disciples of the Taiji Sect! Even Tianjue had to listen to him! If the entire Taiji Sect joined Spearhead, their own doomsday would come. Moreover, they had been relentlessly humiliating Xia Liu over the past two days. If blame was to be assigned, their cultivations would definitely not be spared! "Captain! What should we do..." After a long silence, Niu Zhenjie asked with a mournful face. "Heh, I warned you from the start, but you wouldn't listen." "Captain, both Brother Niu and I know we were wrong, we beg for a way out." Jiang Wenqiang was nearly scared to wet himself; by now, he had given up any thought of running because he couldn't outrun Heaven Slaying's people. "Find a time to apologize to Xia Liu. The mistake you made isn't severe, he won't hold a grudge," Pan Jiang said, though he wasn't entirely sure himself. It seemed to be the only viable option. "Alright, we'll listen to the captain," Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang both agreed, though with bitterness. The rest of the Spearhead members were also terrified. They would definitely have to apologize when Xia Liu returned, or their futures would be bleak. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Inside the tower, everyone was focused on Ouyang Xiong, who had collapsed earlier because of reaching an emotional nadir. He had actually fainted. After discovering this, Xia Liu immediately transferred some Spiritual Energy to him, and soon, Ouyang Xiong woke up. The first person he saw upon opening his eyes was Xia Liu. He didn't speak because he didn't know what to say. The Ouyang Family was large and had a long legacy, but in the end, it was just an ordinary family. The only one with Cultivation was Lingtian alone. Although Ouyang Xiong knew Xia Liu wouldn't attack the Ouyang Family, he still felt a lump in his throat. Facing the overpowering Xia Liu, he was powerless to retaliate. "Friend, it was Elder Xia Liu who treated you just now," Tianjue reminded warmly, seeing Ouyang Xiong ignoring Xia Liu. Tianjue had known Ouyang Xiong for decades and treasured this close friend; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his sect to station in Heaven Slaying Base. If Ouyang Xiong continued like this, the Taiji Sect would have no choice but to leave. "Uh, uh, uh..." Hearing this, Ouyang Xiong's face stiffened; he didn't know how to respond. Grateful? He couldn't bring himself to say it. To beg this man to spare himself and spare Heaven Slaying? He still couldn't bring himself to say it. Ouyang Xiong looked as if he had aged decades, as if one foot was already in the coffin. "Grandfather, Xia Liu has helped us a great deal. Please let go of your prejudices," Ouyang Lingtian sensed that Ouyang Xiong was stubborn, but in times like these, he had to swallow his pride. "Lingtian..." "Old Xiong, Xia Liu didn't mean to hurt you; he was just joking. Heaven Slaying isn't really moving to Liu Hai," intervened Huasheng. "Huasheng..." "Heh heh, Old Master Ouyang, I truly am sorry for this visit. I offer my sincere apologies here, and ask for your forgiveness for my previous arrogance." "Xia Liu..." Upon hearing Xia Liu's sincere apology, Ouyang Xiong's tears fell instantly. He was somewhat moved; he had lost everything before, yet now it had all returned. The great ups and downs of life were the most stirring of all. "Old Master Ouyang, you and Lingtian should go rest. Let's have a drink together tonight." "Hmm!" With this response, Ouyang Xiong had completely let go of his prejudice against Xia Liu. "Haha, my good friend, you truly haven't let me down!" Tianjue was overjoyed upon seeing this. "Old Master, Tianjue Sect Leader and I are going to make a trip to the sect. You should rest a bit, and we'll have a few drinks tonight." "Alright, go tend to your matters," Fang Huasheng agreed readily. The events that had transpired on the arena stage were still shocking to him; the relationship between Xia Liu and the Taiji Sect was far from simple. Now that the relationship had been clarified, Xia Liu would definitely make a trip to the Taiji Sect. Afterward, Xia Liu left the Heaven Slaying Base, led by Tianjue and Qingfeng. "Elder Xia Liu, have you come because there is some news from Taiyi?" As they traversed the Primordial Forest, Tianjue took the opportunity to inquire. "There is, but I need to investigate a bit longer before I can answer you," Xia Liu stated earnestly. "Mm! Thank you, Elder Xia Liu, for clearing up my doubts!" With Xia Liu's response, both Tianjue and Qingfeng were thrilled beyond measure. It had been so many years! At last, there was news from the Taiyi Sect! Seeing the excitement of the two, Xia Liu made no illusions; he was currently ignorant of anything about the Taiyi Sect. Prolonging the time was just an excuse to peruse the Taiji Sect's ancient texts to understand the Taiyi Sect. Their pace was brisk, and in about ten minutes, they had crossed the jungle. They stopped before a low mountain. Just like the Taiji Sect of Martial World Mountain, the gateway was crowned with the sect's name. However, the architecture of the Taiji Sect here at Heaven Slaying Base was much more majestic, with pagodas and such built halfway up the mountain, and the summit was developed as well. "The design you have here is quite similar to that of the Taiji Sect on Martial World Mountain, and you're also of the 'Tian' generation, just like Tianqian." "Elder Xia Liu has been to the Taiji Sect of Martial World Mountain!" Upon hearing this news, Tianjue was greatly astounded; he had harbored some doubts about Xia Liu's identity before. But as soon as he mentioned the Taiji Sect of Martial World Mountain, all his doubts dissipated. "Tianqian is my fellow disciple. Years ago, I made a mistake and left the sect in anger. I haven't dared to return to face my fellow disciple for decades..." "So that's how it is. Tianqian's cultivation has remained at the Mysterious Rank. If you get a chance, you should advise him, otherwise there might never be another opportunity." "Ah... Fellow Disciple Tianqian!" Upon hearing the news, Tianjue's eyes reddened slightly. "Let's not talk about that. Are there any texts about the Taiyi Sect in the sect? Bring me a few." Xia Liu was now eager to learn about the Taiyi Sect. If Tianjue hadn't recognized his Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm, he might not have this eagerness. But Tianjue, like Tianqian, recognized the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm and even considered it a hallmark. Perhaps he would soon unlock the old man's secrets! "Mm! I'll take you to the Library Pavilion right away!" Without any hesitation, Tianjue quickly led Xia Liu to check the ancient texts. Xia Liu dived into the Library Pavilion, not emerging until around five in the afternoon. At the entrance, Qingfeng and Tianjue had been waiting all along. They thought that Xia Liu was checking to see if the heritage texts were all intact. "Sect Leader Tianjue, how long has it been since the Taiyi Sect came looking for you?"
