Capítulo 1021: Chapter 75: Martial Saint Mystery! This Endless Grudge Shall Be Avenged with a Sword Sacrifice_4
But there’s no other way. With such a large family and many responsibilities, I have to find a way to arrange the survival of my relatives, which naturally makes it difficult to move quickly.
Without a large flying escape magic tool at Bai Tuo Mountain, many things couldn’t be taken away, making decisions even harder.
When Li Fei and his people arrived, the Mountain Protection Array “Frost Bright Snow” of Bai Tuo Mountain had already been closed, and chaos reigned on the mountain.
Gunshots, sounds of fighting, and the clamor of battle were continuous.
This “Three Mountains,” a higher-ranking World Great Sect than the Gouchen Sword Sect, was in complete disarray!
Li Fei stood atop the Black Boat, looking down at Bai Tuo Mountain:
“I, the Marquis, have been ordered to suppress the rebellion. Everyone lay down your arms imdiately and cease resistance, or face execution without rcy—”
“Execution without rcy!”
“Execution without rcy!”
Li Fei’s voice resounded like thunder throughout the mountain.
Soon, the various sounds below gradually subsided. Many disciples of Bai Tuo Mountain knelt with both knees, awaiting judgnt.
“Marquis!”
A voice erged from one of the great halls on the mountain:
“I am ng Yao, the Peak Master of Yellow Cloud Peak at Bai Tuo Mountain! I wish to surrender and offer important intelligence!”
“Oh?”
Li Fei was slightly taken aback.
He had anticipated on the way that Hong Zhi and the others would definitely flee. Pursuing them was unlikely to catch the key figures; it was just an effort.
Yet unexpectedly, a Peak Master had remained behind voluntarily.
ng Yao walked out of the great hall. He was a Martial Arts Master with a Single Divine Ability.
Earlier, when Hong Zhi and the others withdrew, he intentionally concealed himself and did not appear. Hong Zhi and the others didn’t have the ti to search slowly, so they left first.
Without hesitation, Li Fei descended with the Black Boat to the mountain peak and stepped forward, standing in front of ng Yao.
Though both were Martial Arts Masters, ng Yao felt a trendous sense of oppression from Li Fei!
He didn’t dare delay, quickly saluting:
“Greetings, Marquis!”
“Where is Hong Zhi and the others?”
“They have already escaped.”
“Why didn’t you flee?”
“I was coerced by Hong Zhi and had no choice but to take a side. I possess extrely important information and wish to exchange it for my life. I hope the Marquis would be so kind.”
“Speak the intelligence first.”
Li Fei said coldly.
ng Yao glanced at Zhang Yuanhong, who was captured on the Black Boat behind, knowing that the information he held might not be exclusive. He dared not bargain and directly transmitted the ssage to Li Fei:
“Behind the Eldest Prince, apart from Prince Li, there’s also support from a Martial Saint!”
As expected.
Li Fei’s expression remained unchanged, asking, “Who is it?”
ng Yao: “I don’t know.”
Li Fei: “Is there evidence? Surely you weren’t convinced just because soone said so?”
ng Yao: “Indeed, there is evidence, but it was shown directly to Hong Zhi by Zhang Yuanhong. We haven’t seen it.”
These words were the sa as what Zhang Yuanhong said.
On the way, Li Fei had asked Zhang Yuanhong, who also ntioned that there was evidence but it was in Bai Chen’s possession.
It was Bai Chen who showed it directly to Hong Zhi. Only later did Hong Zhi beco completely convinced.
Zhang Yuanhong speculated that this evidence should be the Divine Aura left by the Martial Saint. Only such a thing could not be faked and could convince a Great Grandmaster.
Looking at ng Yao before him, Li Fei asked:
“Since you know there’s a hidden Martial Saint, indicating the Eldest Prince has so chance of success, why didn’t you follow Hong Zhi and the others to take a gamble, but chose to stay?”
Hearing this, ng Yao’s expression was bitter:
“Marquis, the reason I initially apprenticed at Bai Tuo Mountain and wanted to beco a Martial Artist was to live a superior life. I started practicing martial arts at seven and spent thirty years of rigorous training to reach the Tao Foundation Stage. Then I spent more than seventy years to break through and beco a Martial Arts Master.
Looking back over the past century, I’ve spent it all in rigorous training without truly enjoying much. I now have less than seventy years left to live, and given my aptitude, further training might barely allow to reach the Three Divine Abilities before my lifespan ends, but the chances of breaking through to beco a Great Grandmaster are slim.
If I fail to break through and die, wouldn’t my entire life have been spent in rigorous training? When have I enjoyed a few good days? So after breaking through to beco a Martial Arts Master, I thoroughly understood that in the remaining decades, I want to truly enjoy life!
If I followed Hong Zhi and the others, another fierce battle would inevitably ensue. Even if we won in the end, would I suddenly gain more longevity? Would my status be significantly higher than now?
Ugh, I truly don’t understand why these people are so damn fond of stirring up trouble?!”
ng Yao was deeply aggrieved, unable to hold back his venting following Li Fei’s question.
Li Fei: “…”
Along his journey, the high-realm experts he encountered were mostly like Qing Xu and Bai Chen, who sought the Taoist path wholeheartedly, enduring mortal perils without regret.
This was the first ti encountering soone like ng Yao, a ‘lay-flat’ type, leaving him both amused and at a loss.
However, after thinking it over carefully, he couldn’t deny that ng Yao’s reasoning made so sense.
If one’s talent wasn’t that high, rather than spending a lifeti in rigorous training, it might be better to seize the ti to enjoy life properly.
“Unfortunately, not everyone can be as ‘content’ as you are.”
Li Fei said to ng Yao.
…
July 19th, morning.
The “Mirage” silently flew hidden among the clouds and mist.
Although they had taken down the Gouchen Sword Sect and Bai Tuo Mountain, the people of Bai Sha Province still needed to evacuate.
Because the vanguard of the rebel army was just one province away from Bai Sha Province, no one could guarantee it didn’t include Prince Li.
If they mirrored Li Fei’s actions, launching a surprise beheading strike, what would the people of Bai Sha Province have to defend themselves?
So they dared not linger long at the Gouchen Sword Sect, hastily taking away all valuable items they could.
After a full night’s looting, the Gouchen Sword Sect and Bai Tuo Mountain were thoroughly swept clean!
