Capítulo 1719: Chapter 1721: Master Banshan
Speaking of Master Banshan, he is truly a legend of the Endless Sea.
Originally, his surna was Ban. The Ban Family was one of the three clans that first ford the Hunting Alliance over a hundred years ago.
Later, through battles and fights, the old ancestor of the Ban Family passed away, and since the Ban Family was a limping Golden Core Family, it beca ineffective instantly.
The Ban Family was not resigned to this and had other high-rank Cultivators trying to gain so rights. However, clearly, they were overreaching—does it make sense to argue without a Golden Core?
At the ti, Master Banshan was only at the ninth layer of cultivation, and already over three hundred years old. He did not argue back; he simply left the Endless Sea silently. Others knew he was not resigned, but what use is feeling unsatisfied when your strength is lacking?
Ten years later, this person returned, officially declaring himself as Master Banshan. Not only had he reached Golden Core Cultivation, but he was also at the Second Layer. He wanted to restore the Ban Family’s position in the Hunting Alliance.
But how could that be easy? Moreover, everyone was more curious—Master Banshan, what kind of opportunity did you co across?
Advancing to the Golden Core within ten years is possible, but rising to the Second Layer of Golden Core is clearly unbelievable, so… there must be sothing to it!
Master Banshan ignored these inquiries. Later, the Hunting Alliance kept encountering issues, with its strength diminishing every year, and the Ban Family suffered great losses.
One day suddenly, so people picked a quarrel with the Ban Family, severely injuring Master Banshan, breaking the clan’s defensive formation, and killing many mbers.
Master Banshan fled severely injured. The Ban Family gradually declined, but thirty years later, he returned with a Golden Core Sixth Layer Cultivation.
This ti he sought revenge openly and intensely—it was all just muddled conflicts among the families in the Hunting Alliance. He severely injured two Golden Cores, dissolved two families, and then restructured the Hunting Alliance.
This ti, he learned from the past lessons of the Hunting Alliance and didn’t just limit himself to family mbers; he opened the doors widely to Loose Cultivators, ignoring even background as long as there were rules set for the Endless Sea.
To be fair, Master Banshan is soone willing to abide by rules and doesn’t act so brutishly, but the Hunting Alliance isn’t his alone. As the alliance grew strong, the organization gradually went astray.
Master Banshan once attempted to restore his image. His goal was to beco a major figure in the region, not just a thug bullying the good and collecting protection fees.
However, achieving this was too difficult. There were two instances where the mbers of the Hunting Alliance acted excessively, leading him to arrange for the culprits to apologize—even when the deed was done, complaints began to surface.
If we’re not aggressive, we can’t suppress the opposite side. Can’t you see what kinds of people co to the Endless Sea!
In truth, this was indeed the case. Trying to dominate such a chaotic place without being ruthless doesn’t work.
Often when you reason with the other side, they see it as a sign of weakness and breed a false sense of hope.
Underneath, people kept lanting, complaining that matters were hard to handle. Master Banshan had to compromise, emphasizing that those under him should be careful and not enforcing stringent restraint.
Anyway, these days, if it’s not the east wind overpowering the west wind, it’s the west wind overpowering the east. The Hunting Alliance grew more arrogant.
But even so, Master Banshan’s reputation was still good. If soone suffered a glaring injustice and it reached Master Banshan, they’d generally get an explanation—note, it had to be a “glaring” injustice.
So, many Loose Cultivators, when discussing the Hunting Alliance, would say that its cultivators were troubleso, but Master Banshan was a good man, a pity he entrusted the wrong people.
So people said Master Banshan sought fa and fortune, but those who had dealt with him believed: this person was indeed good.
Now, hearing Master Banshan’s words, they could tell that he hated the plundering done by the Loose Cultivators’ Alliance, yet bore no grudge against Tianxin Platform—miscalculating power, misjudging the other side’s resolve, even misgauging the cause of the events, all led to accepting the consequences.
In fact, the situation at the Linhai Branch and the transit hub, he already knew. Over at Linhai, it was Master Su who secretly warned him—yes, Master Su had surrendered and helped appease and screen the Alliance mbers, but he still risked his life to warn him.
One must admit, Master Banshan indeed had so personal charm, as Master Su was unafraid of bringing trouble upon himself.
Of course, Master Su didn’t reveal all secrets, only saying he might have been recognized. The people at Tianxin Platform didn’t seem particularly hard to talk to—in any case, Great Alliance Leader, flee if you can, if not, then surrender.
Based on what he knew of Master Banshan, surrender was definitely impossible. Fleeing was more likely—in fact, Master Banshan was skilled at assessing the situation and had quietly fled twice before.
Anyway, Master Su did not believe he’d betrayed the trust of Tianxin Platform. If Master Banshan did leave, wouldn’t it be good for Tianxin Platform too?
In summary, Master Su felt his life was borrowed, although he should live cautiously, he couldn’t have no principle at all. Master Banshan treated him well; he had to live up to that trust.
Master Banshan, able to command the entire Hunting Alliance, upon seeing this news, couldn’t fail to realize that the Linhai Branch was probably dood?
As for the way station, soone has also leaked the news from there, and it was one of his dare-to-die pawns—once deployed, it is effective only once in a lifeti.
So he even knew that Master Motong had already betrayed him, but he didn’t tell anyone about this news.
Then, the spies within the Loose Cultivator Alliance also sent the ssage, saying that the way station might be finished.
Master Banshan was very clear that it would be hard for him to get through this, so he planned to have a serious talk with the Tianxin Platform—currently, the atmosphere within the Hunting Alliance was not good, and it had sowhat gotten out of hand, so a reorganization was necessary.
However, he hadn’t prepared the terms for negotiation when the Loose Cultivator Alliance actually ca knocking at his door. This was absolutely intolerable; he would rather die fighting than surrender to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Seeing the warships from Tianxin Platform and Pine Cypress Peak approach, he initially thought the Loose Cultivator Alliance had joined forces with Tianxin Platform and other forces, so he had a real urge to run—this power disparity was despairing, he didn’t even consider turning the tables.
Hearing Master Dang confront Lu Er head-on, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: alright, the worst hadn’t happened.
So Master Banshan decided not to run, planning to charge against the Loose Cultivator Alliance, trying to kill as many as possible—for his own survival mattered less, as long as Tianxin Platform could maintain their stance, leaving the Hunting Alliance a way out.
He shouted loudly, “Brothers, when we fight later, let’s give our all against the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Golden Core Masters, step forward!”
With a flash, he was the first to charge out of the Defense Great Formation.
He didn’t rush to attack, but first bowed to Da ng Executor, “Greetings Executor, regarding the warship incident, I overthought it, acted recklessly, and deserve this outco. Let deal with these opportunists first, so I can apologize to you later.”
Master Dang waved his hand impatiently, “Neither of your families is innocent. After we take over the Hunting Alliance, we’ll surely rectify it, and so grievances must be settled.”
“Of course,” Master Banshan agreed without hesitation, and as soon as he finished speaking, three more figures, two n and a woman, rose behind him.
The woman was Master Hongyao, recently recruited by the Hunting Alliance, possessing a Golden Core Third Layer cultivation, her background unknown.
The two n, a thin elder was Master Qingyang, also at the Golden Core Third Layer, and the handso man was the second leader, Master Lan He, with a Golden Core Fifth Layer cultivation; he had been part of the Hunting Alliance for forty years.
“Oh, you really dare to co out?” Lu Er chuckled lightly, “Is it a fight to the death?”
“Of course it’s a fight to the death; we don’t want you ruining our headquarters, we want to leave a complete setup for the Da ng Executor,” Master Banshan laughed heartily, “A relentless fight… Daoist Qingyang, shall we battle?”
“Sure,” the thin Master Qingyang flashed forward, speaking expressionlessly, “Who will face in battle?”
The Loose Cultivator Alliance exchanged a glance. With outsiders present, especially a powerful force with a slight animosity towards the Loose Cultivator Alliance, having nine Golden Core against four, they couldn’t bully with superior numbers.
However…without a chaotic fight, who would be willing to step up in such a death match?
Thus, sothing strange happened; not a single person from the Loose Cultivator Alliance stepped up to fight.
After waiting for a while, Lu Er felt a bit embarrassed, was about to speak, but Master Qingyang glanced at soone, “Master Chang, you’re often seen in the Endless Sea, has the Hunting Alliance ever troubled your small alliance?”
Master Chang was the one Feng Jun had t, part of a small alliance ford along with two other Golden Core families and several mortal families, revolving led by Masters for hunting.
In fact, Master Qingyang was sowhat puzzled; as a familiar face, why would you just co over, are you not afraid of our retaliation in the future?
Master Chang smiled helplessly; he didn’t want to show his true self either. The issue was…he didn’t have any good techniques for altering his appearance, and those of poor quality were better left unused.
However, his invitation was more due to his legitimate reasons than being captivated by Spirit Stones, so he bowed as well, answering solemnly, “Daoist Qingyang, we’ve known each other for many years, I don’t wish to be your enemy, I’m just here for him…”
He raised his hand, pointing at the handso second leader, “I have so personal grievances with Master Lan He. I’m here not against the Hunting Alliance, but to settle personal enmity!”
He was at the mid-stage Golden Core, confident in a life-and-death battle against an initial stage Golden Core, yet he refused to fight Qingyang.
Master Qingyang spoke without expression, “I see, I thought you had hidden reasons… Master Lu Er, do we need to continue calling nas?”
Lu Er also felt a bit embarrassed, “Daoist Qingyang, while others might not know, I heard, your realm was suppressed by Master Banshan… and now you’re willing to fight for him?”
After a mont of silence, Qingyang quietly drew out a jet-black long mace, and sighed lightly, “Loose Cultivator Alliance is truly observant; yes, my realm was suppressed by the leader, but… he spared my entire clan!”
“Master Lu Er, please instruct!”
