Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 365 Speaking Lightly

Invite me to meet you?

When Yang Tian heard Jiang Lan’s words, he couldn’t help but frown, unable to comprehend their meaning.

The Yangtian Sect and the Xuantian Sect—due to the rumors surrounding Haowu and Deng Bingqiu—were bound to face an irreconcilable conflict, that was certain.

But the Xuantian Sect is one entity, and the Xuan Nu Sword Sect is another. Despite sharing the same metaphysical name, the relationship between the Fan Family, Haowu’s Wei King, and Jiang Lan’s attitude towards both parties, along with their subsequent remarks, clearly delineated that the relationship between the two sects was neither cooperative nor mutually supportive.

Was it because he was a mighty figure at the God Class level, that the Xuan Girl Sect sought to recruit him?

This might sound plausible, yet Yang Tian still found it unlikely.

Based on Deng Bingqiu’s stance toward the Ji Family, it was clear that these secluded ancient martial arts sects had evidently disconnected from the world for an extended period, showing a limited grasp of worldly affairs.

In other words, what Yang Tian’s character and strength truly were, Xuantian Sword Sect’s so-called claims were mere hearsay.

Since they instigated a challenge against him, it was doubtless that they opposed him as a rival to the Xuantian Sect.

As for Yang Tian himself, hearing a stronghold of Holy Class power wasn’t something he could ignore, especially when it came to being offended by factions such as the Xuan Girl Sect within ancient martial schools.

At the very least, he needed to investigate further.

When Jiang Lan saw Yang Tian’s silence, she seemed to have already deduced his plans. She continued speaking, "Mr. Yang, my master’s invitation may seem abrupt, but if you listen to me, you’ll understand!"

"Out with it!" Yang Tian demanded coldly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan slowly rose and explained, "I believe Mr. Yang is already aware that both the Xuan Girl Sect and our Xuan Nu Sword Sect belong to the ancient martial sects, hidden for over a hundred years! However, I fear Mr. Yang doesn’t yet know that the Xuantian Sect and our Xuan Nu Sword Sect are among the renowned ancient sects categorized as the second-ranking sects of the legendary Three Gates and Seven Sects!"

"The Three Gates refer to the three most powerful ancient martial sects: Qingxu Gate, Ruyi Sect, and Lingbao Sect. The Seven Sects consist of Xuantian Sect, Hemen Sect, Xuanbing Sect, Carefree Sect, Shuiyun Temple, Tianluo Sect, and Xuanuan City Sect!"

"The Three Gates are undoubtedly the pinnacle, and among the Seven Sects, Xuantian Flying Sect alongside our Xuan Girl Sword Sect have consistently held leadership in strength!"

Yang Tian nodded at her words. During his dealings with the Ji Family, he may have heard that aside from Deng Bingqiu, the Xuantian Sect also boasted another formidable God-level entity.

Even though Yang Tianyuan’s initial Nascent Infant power had made light of ordinary God-level abilities, it was impossible to entirely disregard such prowess.

After all, the sect housed not one but two potent entities of God Class standing.

To defy such a prominent sect with strongholds at the God Class level was a risk few dared to take.

Thus, it was unsurprising that the leader of the Seven Sects could command such authority.

But what intrigue lay between those enigmatic women and their connection with the Xuan Girl Sword Sect?

At that moment, Jiang Lan resumed her speech, saying, "Since my Xuan Nu Sword Sect and the Xuantian Sect rank as top sects among the Seven Factions, they naturally pay closer attention to one another. Furthermore, they know Mr. Yang had earlier clashed with the Xuantian Sect by defeating the famed Elder Deng Bingqiu of the Xuantian Sect!"

With these words, Jiang Lan couldn’t help but observe Yang Tian closely.

While she had mingled within conventional organizations for some time and learned much about Yang Tian, she had never imagined Yang Tian to be so formidable.

That was Deng Bingqiu—the patriarch of the Xuantian Sect—a towering figure second in prestige to emperors and learned Taoists alike.

But he had been struck down by Yang Tian with a single palm strike.

Deng Bingqiu’s years numbered over two hundred. Yang Tian, by appearance, was barely eighteen.

To Jiang Lan, Yang Tian was the definition of an unparalleled genius, and his abilities were truly fearsome.

Yet despite her awe and reverence, she continued saying, "Before Mr. Yang departed from the Ji Family Estate, the Xuantian Sect dispatched envoys to inquire among the Three Gates and Seven Sects whether any revered elders had recently descended their mountains. Why would the Xuantian Sect take such steps? Could it be Mr. Yang doesn’t understand the reason?"

"Haha, it’s like they’re fishing for something, waiting for an old bait to surface!"

Yang Tian sneered coldly, "But what’s the point of being apprehensive about that? The Xuantian Sect is bound to investigate such matters. If one of the Three Gates and Seven Sects’ elders happened to intervene, it’s understandable. If not, then they’re likely to come for me directly!"

"Indeed! That’s the exact reason my master wishes to invite Mr. Yang for a meeting. After all, Mr. Yang is a rebellious talent. If he is considered a nemesis of the Xuantian Sect, my Xuan Nu Sword Sect hopes to ally with him—and perhaps even honor Mr. Yang as a distinguished elder!" Jiang Lan stated with a smile.

"Elder Enhui? Are the enemies of my enemies to be considered my allies? If the Xuan Nu Sword Sect seeks to elevate me to the role of venerated elder, then mark your words. On October 25th, at the designated location, Mr. Yang need only carry this jade artifact. My master will naturally identify him. Once Mr. Yang responds, we shall convene at a secluded location for discussion."

At this, Jiang Lan handed over a sheep-fat jade adorned with intricate etchings of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries into Yang Tian’s hand.

Yang Tian clasped the jade but refrained from speaking, briefly closing his eyes instead.

Understanding the situation, Jiang Lan bowed respectfully and left the Yang Family’s assembly hall.

Upon departing from the Yang Family Estate—traveling over three hundred meters within Binjiang City—Jiang Lan’s previously composed demeanor gave way to noticeable tension.

Awaiting her was a middle-aged woman in similar attire, standing poised in her path.

Seeing her, Jiang Lan immediately bowed, "Greetings, Elder Yun!"

"How did it go? Was he suspicious or did he sense anything?" Elder Yun asked nonchalantly.

Without hesitation, Jiang Lan replied, "Reporting to Elder Yun, the matter is done. The Heavenly Jade Seal has been handed to Yang Tian. Yang Tian is under the impression that our Xuan Girl Sect wishes to recruit him to suppress the Xuantian Sect and harbors no suspicion otherwise!"

"Excellent!"

Having heard this, Elder Yun nodded approvingly. "This is an opportunity! The Xuantian Sect believes it can keep its plans hidden from the Three Gates and Seven Sects. But they fail to realize we—of the Xuan Nu Sword Sect—have seen through their facade. If Yang Tian keeps the seal artifact close, then Xuannu can trace his whereabouts. This way, the opportunity shall belong to us!"

With that said, Elder Yun waved her sleeve and strode away.

Jiang Lan, watching her leave, glanced back toward Binjiang City in the distance, letting out a sigh before following suit.

Little did either know that shortly after their departure, a black sword light shimmered in the sky before silently streaking across the riverbank.

"Master, this is everything I observed!"

Within the private hall of the Yang Family’s Binjiang residence, Yang Tian remained seated with eyes closed as Ren Yuan respectfully reported everything he overheard from Jiang Lan outside Binjiang City.

"You’re correct!"

Deng Bingqiu’s appearance alongside Jiang Lan was indeed noteworthy.

From Elder Yun’s sudden presence to her conversation with Jiang Lan, Ren Yuan had gathered enough insight to convey every detail.

"A golden opportunity, is it?"

Yang Tian finally opened his eyes, a cold smile spreading across his face.

Jiang Lanyan was indeed skilled; her composed demeanor and calm façade were flawless. Even Yang Tian hadn’t doubted her sincerity.

Clearly, the force behind Jiang Lan had trained her well, employing secret techniques to suppress her heartbeat, ensuring Yang Tian detected no anomalies despite thorough scrutiny.

But those manipulators overlooked one crucial fact—or perhaps, they underestimated Yang Tian as more than just a seemingly naïve, supernaturally powerful eighteen-year-old.

Yang Tian possessed the collective memories of the Demon Devourer—and with them, an entire lifetime’s worth of wisdom.

Analyzing Jiang Lan’s recount of the Xuantian Sect’s intrigues against the Yang Family Sect, Yang Tian inferred their apparent intent: to provoke Yang’s aggression toward Xuantian Sect.

Despite this, the contrived narrative had intentionally overlooked one pivotal detail!

How could such an influential sect, after encountering a being as powerful as Yang Tian, choose to confront him solo rather than rallying allies for support?
