Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Sect Master of the Demon Fla Sect
Since joining forces with Fang Bai to destroy the Wind Blade Sect, the person Qin Ming least wants to see is the Sect Master of the Demon Fla Sect, Suiyi.
Not to ntion that the overall strength of the Demon Fla Sect far surpasses that of the Fire Cloud Sect, just Suiyi’s strength alone exceeds him by one realm, reaching the fifth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Demon Fla Sect decides to stand up for the Wind Blade Sect and heavily punish the Fire Cloud Sect, then the Fire Cloud Sect would face a disaster.
Of course, the Fire Cloud Sect, having been established for thousands of years, has a deep foundation and could still inflict considerable losses on the Demon Fla Sect if they put up a desperate fight.
What Qin Ming is betting on now is that the destruction of the Wind Blade Sect is already an established fact, and the Demon Fla Sect, considering its own interests, will not want to punish the Fire Cloud Sect in a way that harms themselves as well.
Moreover, Qin Ming has already sent an envoy to the Demon Fla Sect, offering a substantial amount of cultivation resources, and declaring they would “bow and submit” to the Demon Fla Sect just like the Wind Blade Sect, hoping to pass through this calamity safely.
However, there has been no response from the Demon Fla Sect, leaving Qin Ming uneasy, unsure of how they plan to handle this matter.
The Wind Blade Sect has long been under the protection of the Demon Fla Sect, but now has been wiped out by the Fire Cloud Sect, which is equivalent to slapping the Demon Fla Sect. It’s no wonder that Suiyi, as the Sect Master of the Demon Fla Sect, would be furious.
Therefore, Qin Ming doesn’t want to see Suiyi, at least not now, to avoid embarrassnt.
But sotis, the more you fear sothing, the more likely it is to happen.
“Sect Master Qin, long ti no see!”
Suiyi, flying ahead, who had t Qin Ming a few tis, paused upon sensing Qin Ming’s aura, turned back and looked towards Qin Ming and his group from a distance of several miles.
Although he had a smile on his face, Qin Ming could sense a hint of coldness in his smile.
Qin Ming sighed inwardly, steeled himself, flew forward, bowed to Suiyi with clasped fists, and awkwardly said, “Sect Master Sui, how are you.”
“I am not well!”
Suiyi’s smile abruptly vanished, he looked coldly at Qin Ming, a trace of killing intent flashing through his eyes, and said with a grim face, “Sect Master Qin, was the destruction of the Wind Blade Sect your Fire Cloud Sect’s doing?”
Qin Ming’s expression stiffened, stamringly said, “Uh… about this… there is an explanation, Sect Master Sui, please let explain…”
Suiyi sternly said, “I don’t want to hear explanations! I just want to know, was it your doing!”
“So what if it was?”
Seeing Suiyi speaking to him in a condescending tone, filled with disdain and contempt, Qin Ming’s inherent stubbornness was provoked.
“In the vast world, every year many sects rise, and many sects fall. This is the natural law of survival of the strong and elimination of the weak! It is only right that my Fire Cloud Sect destroyed the Wind Blade Sect, what is wrong with that?”
Qin Ming declared passionately.
Suiyi sneered, “The overall strength of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Wind Blade Sect is almost equal, how could you have destroyed the Wind Blade Sect without external assistance?”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Fang Bai beside Qin Ming, with a look of slight astonishnt, said, “I heard from a few fleeing disciples of the Wind Blade Sect that it was you, this young one, who joined forces with the Fire Cloud Sect to destroy their sect?”
Fang Bai grinned and said, “That’s right!”
Suiyi clicked his tongue and said, “A re first stage Heavenly Tribulation cultivator, yet able to gain the favor of the Fire Cloud Sect and be qualified to join forces with them. It seems you have so ans, young one!”
While speaking, he carefully scrutinized Fang Bai, discovering that although Fang Bai was only at the first stage of Heavenly Tribulation, there was an indescribable, unique aura about him, guessing that this person might have trained in so special martial arts techniques, or knows so powerful secret techniques.
Fang Bai smiled, bowed to Qin Ming with clasped fists, and said, “Thanks to Sect Master Qin’s high regard, I only lent a little help in the battle to destroy the Wind Blade Sect, exerting a modest effort.”
Qin Ming hurriedly said, “Brother Fang is being modest.”
Suiyi snorted, raised a finger at Qin Ming, and said loudly, “Sect Master Qin, do you know that the Wind Blade Sect annually paid tribute to my Demon Fla Sect with cultivation resources and received our protection?”
Qin Ming nodded and said, “I know.”
Suiyi’s eyes glead, and he sternly said, “Knowing that, why did you still destroy the Wind Blade Sect? Does Sect Master Qin really believe that the Fire Cloud Sect has grown strong enough to challenge my Demon Fla Sect?”
His voice resounded like thunder in the ears of Qin Ming and his companions, while releasing a bit of pressure, enveloping Qin Ming and his group.
Under Suiyi’s pressure, Qin Ming and Fang Bai’s expressions changed slightly, their clothes rustling.
As for the other five disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect, along with Fang Yun, Baili Mingyue, Niu Ben, and Xiong Yingxiong, they felt as if a mountain were pressing down on them, almost suffocating, having to retreat dozens of feet to evade the pressure.
Suiyi was surprised that Fang Bai could actually withstand the pressure of a fifth stage Heavenly Tribulation expert like himself.
Qin Ming, however, wore no expression of surprise.
In the battle with the Wind Blade Sect, Qin Ming already knew that Fang Bai was not only capable of challenging higher levels but also possessed a Supre Spirit Weapon and was skilled in many miraculous secret techniques, making him a true prodigy.
Therefore, even though Fang Bai’s cultivation level was much lower than his own, he still treated Fang Bai with respect and as an equal.
In the previous battle against the Wind Blade Sect, Fang Bai killed the Demon Fla Sect disciple Lie Shijie and led Demon Fla Sect Elder Lie Yao away, who then seed to vanish into thin air without any further news.
After returning to Red Maple City, although Fang Bai didn’t explicitly say he killed Lie Yao, Qin Ming suspected that Lie Yao must have died at Fang Bai’s hands.
As to how Fang Bai managed to kill Lie Yao, Qin Ming was intensely curious, but since Fang Bai didn’t say, he tactfully refrained from asking.
It was Suiyi’s first ti eting Fang Bai, so naturally, he was unaware of Fang Bai’s extraordinary talents.
Suiyi thought there were only two possibilities for a first stage Heavenly Tribulation cultivator like Fang Bai to withstand his pressure: either his physical body was extrely strong or he was protected by a high-grade spiritual artifact.
A strong enough physical body naturally has an extraordinary resistance to pressure.
And a high-grade spiritual artifact, once refined, would have a connection with its owner and would naturally help its owner resist external pressures.
The first possibility he considered was the latter.
“For a re first stage Heavenly Tribulation cultivation, he should at least have a Royal Grade Superior spiritual artifact to withstand my pressure.”
As he thought this, his heart ward a bit, and he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Fang Bai.
“Oh right!”
Suiyi suddenly rembered another matter, fixing his gaze on Qin Ming, and asked in a deep voice, “My sect’s Elder Lie Yao and his son Lie Shijie were tasked with collecting cultivation resources from the Wind Blade Sect, but later their Soul Lamps suddenly extinguished? Sect Master Qin, how do you explain this?”
Qin Ming’s heart skipped a beat, resisting the urge to look at Fang Bai, trying to appear as calm as possible, replied solemnly, “Does Sect Master Sui suspect that the deaths of Elder Lie and his son are related to our Fire Cloud Sect? This is really unjust! During our battle with the Wind Blade Sect, we did not see any disciples of your sect!”
As he spoke, his heart was in his throat.
