Chapter 170: Chapter 125: Inner Conflict

Heavenly Gate Mountain.

In the layers of the forest, black-clad figures wandered restlessly, pacing back and forth.

From time to time, they would look up, as if waiting for something.

After a moment, the sound of footsteps approached from the surroundings.

Suddenly looking up, they saw several people dressed as Heavenly Blade Sect Disciples appear within their field of vision, subtly forming an encirclement.

The black-clad man, however, did not show the slightest hint of panic, but instead heaved a sigh of relief:

“How did it go? What about Earth Sect Leader?”

He asked two questions in quick succession, but this group of ’Heavenly Blade Sect’ disciples ripped off their Heavenly Blade Sect garbs, reverting to black attire and donning their face coverings.

One of them came before the man and knelt on one knee: “Sect Leader, a brother has been trapped inside. Earth Sect Master wanted to kill Nangong Yu but still hasn’t come out.”

“Why kill him?”

The black-clad Sect Leader seemed completely unsettled: “For no reason at all, you’re stirring up trouble for me! And how did that fool get trapped inside? Haven’t I told you? Heavenly Blade Sect’s disciples are sharp on the outside, but conceal their Blade Intent within. Although they practice the highest being forgets emotions, in reality, their emotions are richer than anyone’s.

“Their lineage transmits a unified source, with a sense of interconnectivity between one another.

“You’re posing as Heavenly Blade Sect disciples can only take advantage of chaos; you must absolutely avoid direct encounters with any of their disciples. Being seen from behind or from the side isn’t an issue, how well explained was that? How could someone still get caught?”

Mumbling and grumbling, he completely lacked the demeanor of a Sect Leader, his tone rapid and anxious:

“I don’t expect you all to be as clever as me, but surely you can’t be this foolish, right? If word gets out, it’s a complete embarrassment to me, the genius!”

The black-clothed figures looked at each other, one of them had no choice but to speak: “Sect Leader, that brother seemed not to believe, and then he was discovered by the Overlord Mace, he decided to give it a try to see if he could bluff his way through. As expected, he was spotted immediately.”

“Hmph… serves him right. He didn’t believe what I said, so let him be dead if he’s dead.

“What about the item?”

He asked again.

“The item is with the Earth Sect Master.”

“Where is he?”

“He went to kill Nangong Yu.”

“Idiot!”

Hearing this, the Sect Leader remembered the report his subordinates had given him and immediately hopped about in anger:

“Who is Nangong Yu? With five years of nurturing Blade Intent, he rarely acts anymore. If he strikes now, the edge of that blade is unimaginable; Earth Sect Leader is courting death by doing this. It’s over, it’s over. An entire plan has gone to waste. If Heaven finds out, I won’t be able to bear it.

“You guys are infuriating, insisting that if I make a move, it will cause trouble. Isn’t it just that I failed to kill Ji Feiyang twice? How could I cause trouble?

“Now it seems, Earth Sect Leader is likely to be buried at Heavenly Gate Mountain.”

“…You’re the one who’s going to be buried at Heavenly Gate Mountain.”

A sudden voice arose, and the Sect Leader turned around to see a black-clothed man standing under a tree not far away.

Seeing this, the Sect Leader was overjoyed: “Is Nangong Yu dead?”

“No, he’s not.”

“Then how are you still alive?”

“…If you can’t speak, then shut your mouth.”

He said this with a snort: “If it weren’t for Su Mo’s interference, Nangong Yu would already be under my palm.”

“Su Mo!? You’ve encountered him!”

The Sect Leader was astonished: “Then you should be dead for sure!”

“Hmph! You underestimate me?”

The Earth Sect Master sneered: “It’s only Su Mo. His name may be well-known from Xuanji Valley, but I don’t believe it. I stood up to him with a punch, and look, I’m back alive and well, aren’t I?”

The many black clad-figures immediately revered the Earth Sect Master like a Heavenly Person, praising him without hesitation.

“Earth Sect Master’s martial arts are supreme!”

“Su Mo is nothing!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

The Earth Sect Master waved his hand: “Enough, disperse and proceed as planned. It’s still early, and even getting a trace of the Golden Jade Cone caused so many upheavals. Who would have thought this Heavenly Blade Sect… Hmph!”

With his words ending there, the black-clad figures bowed and left, flying away.

This left the former Sect Leader stomping his feet in frustration: “You… you… Just whose people are you? Are you from my Renzi Sect or from his Earth Sect? Following his orders like this, you should all just go to Earth Sect.”

But his words fell on deaf ears, as the black-clad figures were out of earshot.

Only Earth Sect Master’s voice carried over: “You only dare to say that now they’ve run far enough; otherwise, my Earth Sect would be overcrowded once more.”

“You, you, you… Can’t you speak like a human?”

The Renzi Sect Master was so angry his eyes nearly bulged out.

“Enough nonsense…”

The Earth Sect Master suddenly sat down with a thud, pulling out a box from his chest and tossing it to the Renzi Sect Master: “This thing, you keep it for now.”

The Renzi Sect Master hurriedly caught it, opened it, and saw a strangely shaped awl.

The awl’s handle was made of gold and jade, with a Golden Body inlaid with jade, extravagantly lavish.

The body of the awl twisted like a serpent, with teeth on its surface, looking rather ferocious, and the tip was extremely sharp, but it was not clear what material it was made of.

After the Renzi Sect Master examined it carefully for a moment, he carefully put it away but suddenly paused: “That’s not right, you are so stubborn, why would you hand this over to me? You said you clashed with Su Mo with a punch and came back intact, is that true?”
