Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 228 - 218 Fire Fungus_2

If we really delve into it, not to mention that his strange cultivation and Xiaoyao Treasure can’t be explained, even the Heng Mountain treasure, the Zhu Rong Fire Fungus, is still undigested in his stomach. If the Old Xuan Sect were a bit more ruthless, hehe...

In short, having a treasure invites trouble, better to develop stealthily first.

"Who are you, I’ve never seen you before! Clearly, you’re not one of our Heng Mountain disciples!"

Now that Supreme Bliss has snuck into the sect, who knows how many fellow disciples have fallen victim. The Heng Mountain Outer Sect is quite nervous, so upon seeing someone as unfamiliar as Tie Dan, they immediately surrounded him.

Tie Dan was prepared, his expression calm as he introduced himself,

"I am a disciple of the Yanzi Cave at Guangxia Mountain, Tie Dan. My master is Immortal Tianku of the Sword Sect. I visited your mountain just a few days ago..."

"Who can prove it!" "Capture him first before anything!"

The Heng Mountain disciples still didn’t trust him, drawing their swords to encircle Tie Dan, their positioning clearly ready to execute a set of the Heavenly Pillar Sword Technique.

Tie Dan had already seen through this sword technique, so he was naturally unafraid. Rather, he had to hold back, lest the Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi was too sharp, casually severing people’s limbs, turning them to dust upon contact.

"Wait!"

Just then, a flash of sword light flickered through the sky, and radiant light descended, revealing two figures from the sword light.

Tie Dan and those Heng Mountain disciples saw them and saluted in unison,

"Master Huilan."

Master Huilan appeared the same as the last time Tie Dan saw her. Ahem, she was dressed that is, in a plain Spirit Silk Taoist Robe concealing her body, her hair covered by a Heavenly Crown White Veil, blue-white Dao Breath emanating above her head, wrapped in the light of a flying sword.

Master Huilan didn’t speak but glared with her left blue, right white two differently colored pupils, two Divine Lights staring Tie Dan from head to toe, then said to the girl beside her,

"Is it him?"

Shen Jianjia coldly stared at Tie Dan, replying with displeasure,

"Of course, it’s him."

Master Huilan frowned,

"I heard you had a Divine Gang Sword Bone, how did it turn into a Red Evil Dao Body?"

Tie Dan had calculated in his mind early on, answering expressionlessly,

"Disciple obtained the ’Nine Luminaries Red Evil Sword Scripture’ from Honzan, but was unable to find guidance in Divine Gang Sword Dao. So during my practice outside, I encountered a Mountain Man Hidden Immortal and asked for his assistance to remodel my spirit root and bones into this Dao Body."

Master Huilan was still skeptical, as remodeling Dao Bones and Spirit Roots was incredibly difficult. Why would such a capable person go out of their way to help you? But after calculating with her fingers, she found that, surprisingly, there really was such an occurrence...

For a moment, Master Huilan was speechless and helplessly could not comprehend, but since he was a disciple of Tianku, she nodded to the Heng Mountain disciples,

"Indeed, he is a disciple of an old acquaintance, I will take him away."

"Yes, follow the decree..."

The Heng Mountain disciples naturally wouldn’t obstruct a True Monarch elder from their sect, and with that, Tie Dan also took the opportunity to extricate himself, moving to stand beside Master Huilan, while on the other side, Shen Jianjia glared at him fiercely...

Then Master Huilan performed a sword technique with her fingers, wrapped them in sword light, and flew with the two juniors up into the sky, straight towards the north... huh?

Tie Dan, "True Monarch, where are we headed?"

Although Master Huilan’s tone wasn’t particularly amiable, her demeanor cold and distant, she still explained carefully,

"Now that our Mystic Sect and Demon Palace are at war, Xiaoyao Demon Path rampages in the south, Yellow Court Peak is no longer safe.

However, the Sword Sect disciples mostly train in the North Country, so I will personally escort you there to avoid the troubles in the south.

Moreover, you are after all disciples of the outer mountain. If you wish to catch up in three years with the Cloud Platform Competition on the Nine Yin Peak, you must at least earn merit worth three Soldier Repelling Coins to qualify.

Tie Dan, you are still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with your Dao Body remodeled, Qi Breath weak, and the sword embryo not yet formed. Though it’s commendable for two years’ work, if you wish to become a true Sword Sect disciple and inherit your master’s legacy, you’ll need to work twice as hard."

Tie Dan, "...Yes, I will heed True Man’s teachings."

Returning to the north, that’s alright, as he’s quite familiar with Kan Country. However...

Tie Dan glanced sideways at Shen Jianjia, who was glaring at him.

Ah, Supreme Xiaoyao that useless waste, why didn’t they just take her down too, really trashy...

Master Huilan wasn’t clueless, she could sense the situation between these two juniors, again glancing at Tie Dan, she sighed,

"Jiajia, Tie Dan hasn’t even formed his sword embryo yet, wait until he catches up to your cultivation, then challenge him."

Shen Jianjia coldly replied,

"Yes, Master, rest assured, if he can indeed ascend the Cloud Platform, I will undoubtedly face him openly in sword fighting!"

Tie Dan rolled his eyes,

"Thanks for going easy on me, Senior Sister. In that case, I’ll spare your life in our next sword fight."

Shen Jianjia,

"Hmph! You just keep talking tough while you can!"

With only a few disciples left under Tianku, and they still want to kill each other, Master Huilan also felt helpless.

After all, she had taught Jianjia for so long, their bond surpassed that of master and disciple, akin to mother and daughter. Especially watching this girl work so diligently, she was able to abandon the Demon Palace’s Outer Pill within two years and return to the rightful path of Refining Qi in the Mystic Sect, successfully condensing the Xuanming Sword Embryo, which brought her much comfort.

Though she knew, Shen Jianjia’s journey was driven by diligence and a Daoist Heart bound to the word ’revenge’. While this wasn’t the most top-notch Daoist Heart, few in the world truly sought the Dao as a Daoist. Most are common, motivated by fame, wealth, longevity, grudges, or love.

Revenge is revenge, there’s nothing wrong with that.

For emotional and logical reasons, she hoped that Jianjia would be the one who could make it through.

But when she actually saw Tie Dan, the one constantly mentioned with a cough by Jianjia, she immediately sensed a warning in her heart.

Couldn’t see through him.
