Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Senior brothers are you here just for me? What a surprise…”

“You bum!”

When Chen Huai heard that he jokingly scolded, “If it wasn’t for that Zong Shou, would the few of us be waiting for you here? You are special. You love money so much? One full year and your tracks were uncertain. If it wasn’t for that nine yin witch matter, you probably wouldn’t return to the sect. We were afraid you would disappear after this dragon gathering mountain which was why senior brother and I would wait for you here.”

“Hehe! It isn’t that I don’t want to return to the sect. It is only that the sect is filled with junior brothers and senior brothers who study until their brains are spoilt. Every time I go back, I will be scolded once. Wouldn’t I just be just asking for trouble?”

Jin Buhui laughed out loud. Then he walked solemnly in front of Xuan Taiji to sit down.

“Senior brother please speak, why did you find me, does it have something to do with Zong Shou? The few senior brothers think of him so highly?”

Su Chen who was at the side smiled and didn’t speak. Whereas Xuan Taiji said with annoyance, “Stupid brat, you obviously know the reason why so why are you asking? If Zong Shou only had top sword skill, he would be able to shock the cloud world. Even without good cultivation, he would be able to rule the cloud world. Even in these hundreds and thousands of years, he is a top rate person. Much less apart from his sword path talents, he is a city lord who occupies tens of thousands of miles of land. How could one not pay attention to him?”

Jin Buhui’s brows rose up. Then he turned around and shook his head, “So what if he’s a city lord? His spirit master cultivation has reached return to sun realm. It wouldn’t take him long to reach the Day Wandering realm. In this cloud world, experts after grade 7 wouldn’t be able to stay in this place…”

Xuan Taiji and Chen Huai instantly exchanged glances with one another, “Buhui, I didn’t expect you to protect Zong Shou so much today. Don’t worry, Haoxuan Sect doesn’t have bad intentions towards him. We just want to ask about your experiences with Zong Shou to see his personality. In the cloud world, there are indeed rules of the day wandering and ascended experts not being allowed to stay, however, it is chaired by the dynasties of the central continent. Let’s not mention how he has a 3-year deadline after he advances. If he is able to control 15 provinces and above, to form his own country, becoming the ruler of a country, who can force him to leave the throne? In the central continent dynasties, there are a few countries of the 5 continents and 10 islands which have lords that are all ascended realm and above..”

Jin Buhui’s eyes shone slightly. When he entered deep thought, he heard Chen Huai say, “There is also one more matter. Before this, I had spoken with junior brother Su Chen to try to bring Zong Shou into our Haoxuan Sect. Do you know what junior brother Su Chen told me? He told me and senior brother Xuan not to bother about this matter. I asked him why. Was some sword sect interested in the kid? However, junior brother Su Chen said no.”

Hearing that, Jin Buhui was startled as he looked towards Su Chen, only see that person smile, looking like he wasn’t going to reveal anything.

“Thinking about junior brother Su Chen, he once said that overlord knife Lei Dong and Zong Shou are sworn brothers. I ordered people to investigate Lei Dong’s recent actions. Do you know what the outcome was?”

Seeing Jin Buhui’s face show some curiosity, Chen Huai smiled, “In the end, I found that Seven Spirit Sect’s Zhao Yanran and he spent a full half a year together. Their tracks were coincidentally the same as Zong Shou’s path back to Gantian Mountain. I also found out that when Zong Shou ascended, the common people path revered one great sun knife saint had returned back to the cloud world!”

“Common people path…”

His pupils constricted slightly, a serious look appeared in his eyes. He could pretty much imagine the situation 6 months ago. Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran were together not to talk about love, but it was definitely the sword sect and common people path fighting for a disciple.

And since that great sun knife saint personally descended on the world, how would they have left empty-handed?

Following which he had an idea and recalled something. He couldn’t help but glance towards Su Chen, “No wonder a few months ago your sword sect and common people path worked together to recruit 2 top talents into your sects. This underground deal was well done.”

Su Chen smiled, raising his head and looking in the sky, still unwilling to say anything.

“I had also said that towards junior brother Su.”

Xuan Taiji shook his head with a solemn expression on his face, “Junior brother Su didn’t say a word, we can only guess about such matters and it can’t be confirmed. As long as common people path don’t admit it, we can only act like we don’t know. Now does junior brother know why the 2 of us pay so much attention to him? Teacher also has the same thoughts.”

Jin Buhui sighed bitterly. How wouldn’t he know why his 2 senior brothers would pay so much attention?

Zong Shou’s talents were top-notch and also had the accumulated resources of common people path at his back. Be it martial cultivation or spiritual cultivation, his future achievements would be a shock to the past and would shine in the present. Looking at his talents and strategic intelligence, even without relying on those 3 sects and 6 schools, Gantian Mountain had at least 30% chance of unifying Donglin Cloud Continent.

How would such a person not attract attention from the people of the cloud continent?

Just as he was hesitating whether or not to speak, he had an idea. He thought back to not long ago when Zong Shou had invited Haoxuan Sect to join the matter about Yin Dragon Canyon.

Before this, he thought that Zong Shou wanted to borrow Haoxuan Sect’s power to go up against Lingyun and Mysterious Cloud Sect. Now it seems like that wasn’t the case and instead, it was a show of friendship.

With his identity, be it common people path or the righteous path sects like Wujue Villa, they could all help him.

Without Haoxuan Sect he might still be able to protect that Yin Dragon Canyon.

Thinking of that, he felt a little pitiful for Lingyun Sect. To offend such a person, Lingyun Sect’s fall in Donglin was a foreseeable matter. Wasn’t this a great time for their Haoxuan Sect to interfere in Donglin Cloud Continent?

Just as he was hesitating in his heart, Su Chen suddenly exclaimed as he looked into the distance. A moment later he saw a short sword suddenly descend.

It landed in Su Chen’s hand and spun around for a moment. Su Chen frowned, when the 3 of them looked over, he magnanimously handed the short sword to Xuan Taiji, “It is news from my sect, there is some trouble! The sword prince had come out of seclusion 4 days ago, not long ago he used 274 swords to defeat that spirit sword, Ruo Tao. He said that he wanted to use 3 years, starting from the 19 spirit sects, to challenge all the sects to verify his sword path. 19 spiritual houses, 10 shrines, 5 vast habitats, 3 heavenly places, none of them can avoid it…”

“Sword prince Jue Yu? That martial idiot?”

Xuan Taiji took over the sword, his face looking like he was confused. Following which he frowned too, “If it is that fellow then it would be a problem. His sword art is the top, not only is he the 2nd out of the 3 pinnacle swords in the cloud world. In your generation, he is unique. 2 years ago he was like Zong Shou, his sword path one with the spirit. Now that he went into secluded cultivation for 2 years, who knows what realm he has reached. My Haoxuan Sect would probably be unable to avoid being humiliated.”

Su Chen sighed, “My sword sect will probably be the same, we might even lose even more face. We are called sword sect, the origin of all sword users in the world. However, we lose to others in the sword path. Spirit sword Ruo Tao has already lost, now we can only hope for that person to regain some face for the sect. Unfortunately, he entered the sect too late and he hasn’t even reached grade 7. When the time comes, he might not be his opponent.”

Xuan Taiji only felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Sword Sect and common people path each had one person who could regain some face for them. However, their Haoxuan Sect didn’t even have a decent person who they could send to fight.

Thinking about that, Xuan Taiji stared viciously at Jin Buhui. In terms of talent, this fellow was no weaker than the 3 pinnacle swords in the cloud world. However, he didn’t focus on his craft, going all around just to collect riches.

He didn’t understand how a cultivator would collect so much money. As long as one had enough to use then it was enough, what was the use of having so much money?

If this fellow could spend 70% of his focus on the martial and spiritual cultivation, the sect wouldn’t be in such a state.

Jin Buhui didn’t understand what was going on. Then he realized something, he had an extremely awkward expression. He could only rub his head and look away, guiltily avoiding Xuan Tiaji’s gaze.

He also knew his days of freedom had probably come to an end.

He had seen that sword prince before, based on what he knew he was just over 20, but he had a 4 meridian grandmaster realm. His sword path was connected to the spirit. 2 years ago he could defeat 5 ascended experts alone, shocking the world and was seen as the top swordsman in the world. People who had nothing better to do also called him, spirit sword Ruo Tao and another person the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world.

However not long after this person went into secluded cultivation and there was no more news about him.

This person was a martial idiot and loved to find people to challenge. Before he went into seclusion he was searching for the tracks of the other person of the 3 pinnacle swords.

Which was why there were rumors that said that he was defeated in battle which was why he went into seclusion.

There were people in the sect who could beat him. But people of age and identity which they could send to fight, there was only Chen Huai and him.

No matter how his teacher gave him freedom, at such a juncture, he wouldn’t allow him to be so carefree. Going into secluded training couldn’t be avoided.

In front of him, there were 19 spiritual houses and 5 shrines. Haixuan Sect was at the 25th spot. At most, in a year, Jue Yu will be there to challenge them.

At that time if he was still unable to break through to grade 7, his teacher would probably skin him alive.

As expected, in the next moment he heard Xuan Taiji scoff coldly, “Junior brother Buhui, although the teacher didn’t give a clear order, to be safe, you should follow me back to the sect.”

Jin Buhui’s fatty face instantly curled up into a ball, he gritted his teeth, “I want to kill that sword prince, Jue Yu.”

When Su Chen heard that he broke out into a laugh, “There are real people who want to buy people to kill him. Out of the 19 spiritual houses, there are numerous sects who offered sky-high prices to end this Jue Yu’s life.”

Jin Buhui was stunned when he heard that, following which he thought about Zong Shou. His heart instantly felt better, thinking that that fellow wouldn’t be able to avoid making a fool out of himself too.
