Chapter 444: Appease the Heroic Spirits

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Just as he spoke, Hanfang suddenly exclaimed while looking up into the sky, “The 4 world protecting venerables have finally arrived. How late…”

Fangwen expression also changed, heaving a sigh of relief. With these world protecting venerables, no matter how anxious Qiuyun was or how crazy he was, he wouldn’t dare to behave in an out of hand manner!

However, at this moment, a ten thousand feet long lightning spear suddenly stabbed down from above.

Hanfang’s eyes opened wide. Then, he scoffed coldly and waved his sleeves. A ripple appeared and instantly, a lightning glow exploded out and struck over.

Electrical currents shone and spread all about, suddenly within the thunder shocks, a large part of the lightning currents canceled out one another.

There were still some threads that were lingering. A portion charged into that Black Spirit Canyon exploded a corner of the wuxiang confusion formation into pieces!

The situation within finally appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Fangwen instantly looked down. He saw the 900 mysterious dragon warriors of the common people path were closed to complete as they stood at the west side entrance. They had only lost 40 people.

Whilst his gaze dimmed slightly, his heart opened up. When he looked at where the corpses gathered on both sides, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart!

Victory! A crushing victory!

Out of those 1400 purple cloud sword cavalry, there were only over a hundred were remaining. As for those 200 Tailing Sect disciples, there were only 40 left!

After this battle, within ten years they probably didn’t need to pay special attention to this top Taoist sect.

The common people path, which couldn’t take a heavy blow, could finally heave a sigh of relief. They could use this period of time to free up some strength to solve the problems from many issues.

The results of this battle would shock the cloud world, causing the people who had nefarious intentions towards the common people path to be more careful and mindful of their actions.

The black suppressive cloud layer opposite them was even thicker, continuously rumbling. There were numerous lightning currents flashed like something was brewing within.

Hanfang smiled. With intent, a shiny long sword flew out and circled him.

Just now, he didn’t expect that Qiuyun would be so crazy, to go all out when those 4 people had arrived.

Until date, there wasn’t such a good thing for him anymore. If they were going to fight again, then they were going to stop at nothing and fight to the death!

In his mouth, he gave out a casual laugh, “Brother Qiuyun! Remember 20 years ago, I tried to save people at this Yan City Pass, but you stopped me—mocking me. You said that I lived for so long but couldn’t accept defeat. Do you still remember those words? You said that juniors fighting is based on their ability and that seniors like us shouldn’t interfere. Then now, you are like me in the past, unable to accept defeat. Are you ready to protect them?”

The black cloud was silent, Qiuyun kept quiet, not replying to his question.

Hanfang manically laughed out, filled with an elated tone, “20 years ago our common people path and your Tailing Sect didn’t touch one another but because of greed you attacked my sect disciples! 3 assassinations, 430 lives, it was a pity that they died. However, today, exchanging for these 2 thousand lives, it is enough to appease the spirits in heavens of the disciples of my sect…”

Fangwen smiled. The casualties of Tailing Sect in this battle added together were over one to two thousand. Liao King exposing his relationship with them was an even heavier blow.

Shi Ruolan acted like she didn’t hear anything as she looked fixed downwards, extremely focused.

“Shut up!”

A shout suddenly rang out from the black cloud layer, cutting up Hanfang’s words.

Then, a person stepped out from the cloud layer. He was around 30 years old, and his face was slightly thin and majestic. He had a golden hairpin on the head and he was wearing a green Taoist robe.

He first looked below, the corner of his eyes couldn’t help but cramp up, a heart pained expression flashed across in his eyes.

1400 purple cloud sword cavalry. A large portion of them had already fallen on the battlefield! As for the remaining elite sect disciples, most of them had already fallen.

The common people path seemed to have known about the Liao King matter and were already confident in winning. However, they increased their stakes to lure the Tailing Sect to send more people over!

How hateful!

His gaze focused on the black armor teen who was holding a giant red sword, pointing right at Ji Lingzi.

“This is the junior nephew that you Hanfang recently recruited! Good! Good! Great, as expected he is a real talent. If he can grow, he would become an unparalleled famous general that would be able to shock the world!”

In his heart, he wanted to slap this Tanqiu to death. It was this person who had caused the losses of Tailing Sect to reach a level where it harmed their bones and tendons—unable to recover without several years.

At this key moment, when the spiritual wave was about to rise, they had to face such a heavy injury!

He could only suppress such an urge.

He slightly hesitated, struggling for a moment. Qiuyun’s voice suddenly turned to a gentle tone, “What must I do so that you release these disciples?”

His tone was filled with a pleading tone.

Hanfang was startled. Then, he laughed involuntarily and shook his head, “Brother Qiuyun is there such a need? If our roles were reversed today, would you agree? Did you forget how I begged you in the past? How you replied to me? Then is how I would reply to you today.”

Qiuyun’s face turned white. How would he not remember? That was the happiest thing in his life. However, today it was flipped over to be humiliated by Hanfang!

However, he had to save these close to 200 disciples!

At this moment, the disciples who were able to survive from those 800 mysterious dragon warriors were the true elites. After a few years, they might be able to recover some losses for Tailing Sect.

Thinking about it for a moment, Qiuyun finally spat out, “3 medium-sized mind stone veins, is that possible?”

Hanfang laughed coldly, mind stones were a good thing. Those 3 medium-sized mind stone veins could nurture another 300 mysterious dragon warriors.

However, how could this makeup for the hatred he felt in his heart!

“…Another 3 xuan iron wenshan armor! Our Tailing Sect is willing to set up an agreement with common people path, to not offend you in 30 years!”

The xuan iron wenshan armor was a grade 8 spiritual artifact. However, its defensive ability could be compared to a grade 2 magical artifact!

Within the Tailing Sect, only grade 8 and above cultivators had the right to be equipped with them.

This armor needed a special spiritual metal which only the mines of Tailing Sect could produce.

Hanfang didn’t care much. As for the agreement, it was unneeded in his eyes.

If the common people’s path was strong enough, why would they fear the provocation of the enemy? On the contrary Tailing Sect were the ones needing to be worried about facing too many enemies.

Qiuyun’s brows furrowed. His fist finally clenching strongly, coldly saying, “The original Yan City Pass governor Xuexi and the 134 common people path disciples are locked up by my Tailing sect! We are willing to exchange, and also ensure their cultivation returns back to normal. How about that?”

Xuexi?

A bright light shone in Fangwen’s eyes, filled with disbelief.

His junior brother, who had such a tough life, hadn’t died. And also those 134 disciples who he thought had already died in the hands of the enemy, they were still alive?

Hanfang’s expression also changed and ripples appeared in his eyes. A while later, he calmed down and then looked into the sky.

The heavens have eyes! Senior brother ah senior brother, I, Hanfang, finally can answer to you.

He then looked below at Zong Shou, and his expression was extremely complicated.

How was he going to thank him?

In the past, due to the Yan City Pass rebellion, his senior brother left in a rage. Although he still kept in contact, in these tens of years, he was unwilling to return.

It caused many elders of the 3 sects and 6 schools to feel alienated from the common people path.

It wasn’t as simple as those 134 lives.

Those 100 elite disciples which followed Zong Shou. The energies that they gave up were different!

It was like they had been through a rebirth, giving off an unprecedented aura and charm. Their temperaments had changed, filled with more resilience, something that could only be had after one faced a life and death situation.

Who knows, maybe a few years to ten years later there might be 30-50 grade 7 experts who came out from within them!

There would be many of them who could break through to the celestial path!

Although his junior brother only sought to cultivate and didn’t want to have many connections with the sect. However, after this battle, numerous powers would be grateful for him within the 3 sects and 6 schools.

Especially that Xuexi. If he could return, he would be helped for the rest of his life.

He smiled before he raised his head, a bright smile on his face, “Deal!”

There was no need to hesitate about this matter. It was a really good matter, so why shouldn’t he agree?

Zong Shou was below, and the sword in his hand was being raised so long that he felt a little impatient.

The thunder rumbled above, and waves of vast intent which tried several times to press down. Luckily Hanfang had blocked them all. Although he felt his heart jump, it couldn’t affect him.

The words of the 2 also spread into his ears. When the last sentence fell, not only was the remaining Tailing Sect disciples relieved.

Zong Shou also knew that the matter today was finally solved and he couldn’t kill them anymore.

If it was just the mind stone mines and the few xuan iron wenshan armor, even with Hanfang agreed he was still going to attack.

Anyways, Hanfang was his senior brother and couldn’t control him.

Since this concerned the lives of hundreds of fellow sect disciples, then he could only stop.

In his heart, he was thinking who exactly was Xuexi? He seemed like an extremely important person in common people’s path. He probably wasn’t just the defending general of Yan City Pass.

He scolded out in his heart. Hanfang was following behind him all the way. Luckily he didn’t do any suspicious things. He passed several famous treasure lands, a few low-level top-grade sub-maps in the god-emperor game and he bore it—not going over to explore.

The 800 odd cavalry behind him was also really calm. Although they were still furious, none of them wanted to go against the orders.

Just as Zong Shou unwillingly kept the sword, Ji Lingzi whose eyes seemed to be burning with flames starred furiously over.

“Do you dare to fight fairly with me?”
