Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 292 - 240 Solitary Confinement

Tie Dan returned to Nine Yin Mountain.

But this time he didn’t go up to the Sword Pavilion, didn’t ascend to the Cloud Platform, and couldn’t even go up to Honzan. As soon as he paid respects at the Mountain Gate, he was casually stopped by a Sword Sect True Man who came to greet the Mystic Sect Leader.

The man didn’t even look at him directly, only spoke to the Daoist Lord, but it sounded like he was saying this child broke sect rules and is not qualified to enter the mountain, he must go to the foot of Nine Yin Mountain to receive punishment and wait for the Sect Leader’s sanction.

Lingxu gave him a glance, indicating that he should make a statement and they would turn around and leave.

But Tie Dan didn’t agree, he just bowed to say goodbye.

Since this was a path he chose himself, Lingxu couldn’t do anything, just shook his head and followed the True Man to the Sword Pavilion.

Indeed, no one forced him, after all, Sword Sect didn’t care.

If you’re so formidable, why join the Sword Sect? Why go back to Nine Yin Mountain?

The rules of Nine Yin Mountain can only bind the disciples of Nine Yin Mountain. If you’re unwilling to obey, then leave. The world is so vast, there’s nowhere you can’t cultivate, and no one is stopping you.

Tie Dan didn’t mind, having endured all sorts of hardships, he wasn’t unfamiliar with the dog cage and truly didn’t care about these disgusting tactics.

So what else can you do to him? Skin him, behead him, or pierce him with a flying sword? At worst, let it come. freёnovelkiss.com

And so, Tie Dan flew down the mountain himself, clouds and mist rising along the way, obscuring the view of the Immortal Mountain, probably indicating he was not allowed into the sect or even to glimpse the Immortal Mountain’s sights.

Arriving at the foot of Nine Yin Mountain, he could only wander in the mist for a while, finally coming to a rock face where he saw a Taoist tower. Inside the main hall shrine within the tower was enshrined a stone statue of a giant beast with a deer body, ox tail, and a horn, resembling an ox, a sheep, and a deer.

This beast is called Xiezhi, it suppresses illusions and wards off evil, when it sees people fighting it stabs the dishonest, when it hears people debating it bites the unjust.

Yes, when planning to escape the mountain gate, Tie Dan had inquired with Tang Tong about what would happen if he got caught and brought back, so he had an idea. He came up, paid his respects, and touched the horn of the Xiezhi.

Then the stone statue stood up, shook off the dust, and muttered a curse at Tie Dan.

It basically said he left the mountain without permission, defected privately, didn’t return when summoned, killed fellow sect members, was disrespectful to elders, lawless, and listed another seventeen or eighteen random charges, which Tie Dan didn’t hear very clearly.

Anyway, after the scolding, the conclusion was to face the wall and reflect, refining the sword heart.

Then the Xiezhi jumped off its seat, inviting Tie Dan to sit on, cough, cough, no, revealing a hole under the seat, for him to enter the mine for punishment.

Tie Dan didn’t hesitate either, and after the Xiezhi sprayed a protective immortal qi over him, he leaped into the hole, falling straight to the bottom of the mountain.

Using this immortal power, he tunneled through the earth, reaching deeper underground than the Demon Suppressing Tower or the Demon Locking Cave, passing countless abandoned excavated earth vein ruins, finally arriving at the bottom of Nine Yin Mountain, before a black, dust-covered stone room devoid of any spiritual breath or sound.

Since he was already there, Tie Dan hung his iron plate at the entrance to the cave, signifying he was refining his sword heart and meditating. Then he quietly knelt in the pitch-black stone chamber to meditate.

The place was too deep, his divine sense couldn’t reach out, surrounded by endless darkness, the spirit veins long exhausted, without any spiritual qi, even breathing was difficult, requiring him to consciously use his abdominal muscles to breathe just to manage a breath. Only the stalactites from the cliff top dripped down for him to drink.

The cultivator imprisoned there couldn’t use any magic treasures, and all his true qi would disperse by itself, wasting away, a severe punishment for sure.

But Tie Dan, having refined the Earth Evil Ghost Spring Sword Embryo, was unaffected, able to reabsorb whatever he lost, and could even calmly recuperate, digest the Immortal Pill given by Lingxu to heal his Dao Body’s injuries, while contemplating the sword marks and Sword Dao left by the Heavenly Blade in his Divine Court, reviewing his past experiences, quietly summarizing his cultivation insights, not wasting time at all.

Of course, being confined would inevitably affect Tie Dan’s cultivation progress. After all, improving by treasure hunting and combat outside is much greater than staying idle in a cave.

Still, enduring this punishment at Nine Yin Mountain was necessary for Tie Dan.

Because he wanted to participate in the Cloud Platform Competition.

Naturally, it wasn’t for some false title of a Sword Sect disciple, nor for currying favor with Honzan, nor even desiring any True Inheritance.

He wanted revenge.

The Mad Woman said one thing right: if grudges aren’t avenged, the Daoist Heart will have a blockage, the qi won’t flow smoothly, the mind can’t find peace, and the Dao won’t be achieved.

Tie Dan was indeed the kind to harbor grievances.

The two senior brothers who rescued him from the dog cage, brought him all the way from Shuofang to Yanzi Cave, truly befriending him, intending to take him as a disciple sincerely. Had they shown any impatience or hostility, the former Gou Dan wouldn’t have followed them this far.

His master, no need to mention, gave him the Flying Sword Technique, the Nine Luminaries Sword Scripture, and the Formless Sword Qi. Without these true inheritances, he’d probably have died like a stray dog by the roadside long ago.

This path into the Sword Sect was only open because Chen Huzi gave the nod. Guangxia Mountain Swallow Cave, a dignified inheritance.

No matter how much Honzan disapproved of him or suppressed the outer mountain, they could only use certain punitive and exploitative tricks behind the scenes. Unless forced to defect from the sect, no one had the right to take away the sword passed down by Chen Huzi.

The master’s inheritance, this is the greatest rule of the Mystic Sect.

Without them, how could there be someone kneeling here with their back straight?

Such kindness must be repaid, such vengeance must be avenged.

Thus, he had to return to Nine Yin Mountain.
