Chapter 1780: Chapter 1780: Take a Gamble
Back when Fire Cloud Sect wiped out Wind Blade Sect, they cleared out the elite disciples of Wind Blade Sect entirely, leaving only so insignificant nial servant disciples to flee.
Those nial servant disciples lived in remote areas far from the sect’s main grounds, spending their days buried in work, completely unaware of any major events happening within the sect, let alone important figures like Lie’s father and son visiting Wind Blade Sect.
Demon Fla Sect didn’t gather much information from those fleeing nial servants of Wind Blade Sect. It was only after sending people to investigate that they learned Fire Cloud Sect joined forces with a strong person nad Fang Bai to jointly destroy Wind Blade Sect.
As for the fact that Lie Yao and Lie Shijie were killed by Fang Bai, except for a few higher-ups in Fire Cloud Sect, no one else knew at all.
Otherwise, Demon Fla Sect would have long since charged into Red Maple City to demand justice from Fire Cloud Sect and Fang Bai.
Suiyi suspected that the fall of Lie Yao and Lie Shijie might be related to Fire Cloud Sect, but there was no evidence. He couldn’t detect any unusual expressions on Qin Ming’s face at the mont, causing his suspicions to gradually fade.
“Could it be that Lie Yao and his son did not fall at Wind Blade Sect? That’s right, if they were at Wind Blade Sect at the ti, how could they sit idly by while Fire Cloud Sect destroyed Wind Blade Sect? Hmm, maybe soone else murdered their father and son… Could it be our mortal enemy Soul Pursuit Sect who did it?”
The more Suiyi thought about it, the more possible it seed.
Qin Ming sensed the killing intent from Suiyi’s body had restrained itself and knew he had managed to muddle through. His heart finally settled down.
Suiyi snorted coldly, “The death of the Lie’s father and son, I will investigate thoroughly! But how do you intend to explain the matter of Wind Blade Sect being wiped out?”
Suiyi knew the destruction of Wind Blade Sect was a fact, and launching a large-scale attack on Fire Cloud Sect to demand justice wasn’t in his own best interest, so he watched Qin Ming coldly, waiting for his reply.
Qin Ming knew Suiyi was waiting for him to offer conditions, so he was secretly pleased and said, “We will split half of the cultivation resources we’ve obtained from Wind Blade Sect with your sect. Additionally, the annual cultivation resources Wind Blade Sect used to give to your sect will continue to be given as before. Will Sect Master Sui be satisfied?”
Suiyi’s face finally softened a bit, nodding, “Then it’s settled!”
After a pause, thinking that it seed too easy to let Fire Cloud Sect off the hook, he sternly warned, “Sect Master Qin, the matter concerning Wind Blade Sect is an exception! If such things happen again, don’t bla for being rciless!”
Qin Ming said, “Understood.”
Fire Cloud Sect’s willingness to pay tribute to Demon Fla Sect every year basically accepted Demon Fla Sect as the master and accepted its protection.
In this way, the two naturally ford an alliance.
Sothing that could initially be a life-and-death enmity turned into an ‘ally’ because of interests, and Fang Bai among others, though accustod to such matters, couldn’t help but feel sentintal.
“Sect Master Qin, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future! I’ll be taking my leave now!”
Suiyi gave Fang Bai a deep look and then led the sect’s disciples to continue flying towards the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm.
Qin Ming and the others followed far behind.
“That was close!”
When Qin Ming saw the people from Demon Fla Sect flying far away, he breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Fang Bai, “Suiyi’s old eyes seem to pierce through people’s hearts, it scared into a cold sweat!”
Suiyi was a Thunder Tribulation fifth-level expert, while Qin Ming was only Thunder Tribulation fourth-level. This one-level difference made Qin Ming feel imnse pressure and worry all the ti.
Fang Bai smiled, thoughtfully saying, “That old fellow’s look at before he left was full of aning, as if he’s very interested in .”
Qin Ming paused, then seriously said, “Elder Fang, on this trip to the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm, we’ll encounter many experts like Suiyi, and even those with higher cultivation levels than him. You possess treasures, so make sure not to let them see them, or else… the consequences will be unpredictable!”
Fang Bai chuckled lightly, “It seems Suiyi suspects I have so treasure on ! I hope when the ti cos, he won’t cause trouble. If I can’t evade it, I’ll have no choice but to fight!”
Seeing Fang Bai still able to laugh, and thinking that Lie Yao might have been killed by him as well, Qin Ming felt less worried and eagerly asked, “Elder Fang, to be honest, how much chance do you have against that old man Suiyi?”
Fang Bai shook his head, “None at all.”
Seeing Qin Ming’s wry smile, Fang Bai added, “If I can advance within the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm, then I’ll have a four-in-ten chance.”
Qin Ming brightened up, “What if we join forces then?”
Fang Bai thought for a mont, “Then there should be at least a five-in-ten chance!”
Qin Ming clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing as he seed to be pondering sothing, finally biting his teeth and resolutely saying, “Then let’s take a gamble!”
Fang Bai smiled, “Are you planning to join forces with against Suiyi?”
Qin Ming said, “That’s right! I’m worried the matter of Lie Yao and his son’s demise will be discovered by Suiyi sooner or later. Additionally, paying tribute to Demon Fla Sect every year, treating them as the master, I’m unwilling!”
Baili Mingyue interjected, “What if Fang Bai doesn’t advance within the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm?”
Qin Ming, who had just been inspired, suddenly felt deflated and smiled wryly at Baili Mingyue, “Lady Mingyue, can we not speak discouraging words?”
Baili Mingyue chuckled, “Alright! Then I wish Fang Bai a triple advancent within the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm first, and then wish you two success, triumph, and the elimination of Suiyi!”
Qin Ming laughed heartily, “That’s the way to talk!”
After their banter, the previously oppressive atmosphere caused by eting the people from Demon Fla Sect was completely swept away.
……
The Immortal Tablet Secret Realm, located within a massive valley encircled by the Great Desolate Mountain Range.
The valley spans nearly a thousand miles in circumference, with flowers and grass everywhere, streams gently flowing, and spiritual energy dense as if substantial, sotis appearing with small, cute spirit beasts.
For tens of thousands of years, every opening of the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm has attracted hundreds of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts from across the Three Thousand Worlds, all just to glimpse the mysterious symbols on the tablet and seek a great fortune.
For tens of thousands of years, many Thunder Tribulation experts have benefited from it, becoming those standing at the top of the Three Thousand Worlds.
Normally, the Immortal Tablet Secret Realm is covered by a powerful formation, completely isolated from the outside world, preventing anyone from entering it.
Only when the secret realm opens at the five-year interval does a narrow passage appear between the massive mountains encircling the valley, allowing martial artists to pass through.
Because this narrow passage only accommodates a few people side by side, looking up, one sees a strip of sky, therefore martial artists call it “One-Line Heaven.”
When Fang Bai and the others arrived at the outskirts of the vast valley, it was already night.
Lights dotted the valley’s outskirts, which were martial artists using spirit stones to illuminate.
“So many people…”
“Looks like there are thousands of them!”
“I think there are tens of thousands!”
“Are they all Thunder Tribulation experts?”
“Didn’t Sect Master Qin say before, the weakest among the strong ones who co here is only Thunder Tribulation first-level in cultivation.”
…
Fang Bai and the others landed on a hilltop. Fang Yun, Baili Mingyue, Niu Ben, and Xiong Yingxiong, who ca here for the first ti, were filled with curiosity and couldn’t help but whisper.
Fang Bai stood at the top of the hill, his gaze sweeping across, noticing that the flowers, grasses, rocks, and woods here all looked as they did in the past, with not much change, getting lost in reflection.
