Chapter 809: Chapter 138 Biying’s Plan
Since returning to the Bright Mirror Sect, Bai Luo has only seen his Grandmaster once.
And since his master went missing due to misfortune, he has only seen his Grandmaster three times.
The first time was when Concealing Shadow True Lord asked him if Master Su Ran had mentioned where he was going in the Extreme North Icefield—Bai Luo indeed knew. After giving a location name, he saw the Grandmaster leave hurriedly without saying another word.
The second time was when the Grandmaster gathered all the senior and junior brothers from Weichen Peak and other True Disciples, and asked him, appearing haggard, whether he would be willing to follow other senior and junior brothers should his master have already perished. The senior and junior brothers assured him that they would treat him kindly, as their own.
Bai Luo did not quite remember his feelings at that time. He had been suspecting it for a while, and upon hearing the news, he remained silent for a moment before answering, ’Willing, but unnecessary.’
If the Grandmaster required it, he would comply. But absent such requirement, he considered himself Master Su Ran’s disciple, and he would cultivate, grow stronger, fight, and seek revenge under this identity.
The Grandmaster remained silent for a while, then agreed.
Then, at the suggestion of Concealing Shadow True Lord, Bai Luo left the increasingly strange Bright Mirror Sect Mountain Gate and became the City Lord of the inconspicuous yet well-built Red Tower City, avoiding others’ attention.
The third time was when Bai Luo accompanied An Jing to return to the Mountain Gate of the Bright Mirror Sect and received a summons from the Grandmaster.
"I have found Su Ran’s burial site."
The words of Concealing Shadow True Lord made Bai Luo clench his teeth silently, his fists tight in silence: "He perished at the bottom of the Grand Xuan Congeal Sea in the Extreme North Icefield. I found traces of his Divine Skill. Su Ran was besieged by at least five fellow Divine Repository cultivators of the same rank, with numerous ghostly creatures sealing the heavens and earth. In the end, he killed two of them in a counterattack. He was worthy of the Sect, deserving of my teachings. He was truly a fine man, a commendable Martial Artist."
"Now, as Su Ran’s only True Disciple, Bai Luo, you need to make a choice."
What followed from the True Lord was even more solemn: "First, you can stay in the Bright Mirror Sect. I will tell you some deeper truths, but if you are unwilling to follow some of my directives, I will have to wipe your memory and send you deep into Dust Li."
"Second, you can leave the Bright Mirror Sect now. I will give you all the inherited Jade Books from Weichen Peak, and all of your master’s remaining assets. In name, I will expel you and send you to the Yan Ye Major Domain in the south of Da Chen. There, my friend has a small sect, and I will give you a new identity, allowing you to cultivate under a new name."
Anyone who isn’t utterly foolish can discern the meaning behind Concealing Shadow True Lord’s words.
"Why, Grandmaster?!"
Bai Luo was naturally astounded, unable to comprehend why, as a Manifest Saint True Monarch, Concealing Shadow would make a decision akin to a ’testament’ and ’entrusting the future’—could it be that the Bright Mirror Sect was on the verge of destruction? Was he being sent away as a seed of inheritance?
"I must do something that will forever mark me with infamy."
Concealing Shadow True Lord said calmly, "You understand, with our own strength, some wrongs will never have the chance to be avenged."
"Your master Su Ran was my disciple, inheriting all my teachings. He had the potential to surpass me. He is dead; my life is nearing its end. There is nothing left for me to concede. I care not for any grand strategy, refusing to ponder morality or weigh the pros and cons, so you need not persuade me."
"What about the senior and junior brothers?"
Upon hearing Bai Luo’s words, Concealing Shadow True Lord chuckled.
He raised his hand, patting Bai Luo’s head, and almost sentimentally said, "Foolish child, Su Ran was just your master, and you only spent ten years together."
"But your senior and junior brothers spent over sixty years training, fighting life and death together with your master... they are the ones with true bonds of life-and-death, the ones most eager for revenge."
Bai Luo had no reason to refuse.
But upon learning of Grandmaster’s plan, he wanted to reject it.
It was too insane. Bai Luo fully understood why Concealing Shadow Grandmaster did not seek cooperation with other Peak Masters. His choice was to uproot the Bright Mirror Sect, damaging one thousand to kill one thousand two hundred enemies!
Yet...this plan, in a way, could indeed turn the current crisis of the Bright Mirror Sect, being scrutinized by many factions and nearing collapse, around!
"Grandmaster."
In the end, Bai Luo had one last question: "Even though I am willing, I must say, this is too risky."
"If it were before, it wouldn’t matter. Now we have An Jing in the Bright Mirror Sect. If we wait for him to grow, wouldn’t all problems cease to be?"
Concealing Shadow did not say anything to justify the decision, like ’waiting for An Jing to grow takes too long’ or ’An Jing is too talented, drawing attention, potentially placing the Bright Mirror Sect in greater danger’.
He silently nodded, sighed, and said: "Indeed, if following the normal circulation of destiny, he is the Man of Destiny meant to reverse all our decline and shame, fulfilling the duty of revenge."
"If we endure this time, perhaps we can offer him a better environment for growth, allowing him to become stronger smoothly."
"My plan, indeed, fails him. But I cannot forsake the chance for personal revenge... I will let no one stand in my way."
"So this time, Bai Luo, you will represent our Weichen Peak to visit An Jing and deliver significant gifts."
Thus, half a month later, Bai Luo arrived at Mingguang Peak on a Space Shuttle.
Compared to the other Eight Peaks, which had long been developed to the utmost, Mingguang Peak now appeared relatively simple but unexpectedly well-established.
Though small, it lacked nothing. It wasn’t a desolate land with just some small huts. Nowadays, Mingguang Peak had a full set of facilities—whether standalone houses or martial platforms; whether a library room or pill and artifact halls—everything a sect should have is here, and none were crude or hastily made.
"Truly impressive..."
From the Space Shuttle overlooking, Bai Luo could see the entire Earth Vein of Mingguang Peak had been manually adjusted. The previously turbulent flow of Spiritual Fiend had become gentle, and the abundant waves of Earth Qi were no longer violent but flowed smoothly along a predetermined path.
Furthermore, the refined ’Mingguang Spirit Spring’ flowing from the top of the Spirit Evil Lake transformed into crisscrossing streams, resembling spider web patterns or formation water lines, evenly connecting the various formation setups of Mingguang Peak’s numerous buildings and halls.
The weather that day was also ideal, the sun rising, clouds filling the sky, and the blue lake mirroring the heavenly dome, making half the sky look like a vast ocean wave, leaving one awestruck.
"An Jing indeed put a lot of thought into it."
Mingguang Peak already showed initial prosperity. Bai Luo knew that before An Jing arrived, Mingguang Peak had never been so orderly and thriving. All changes happened after his arrival, just as everything around Red Tower City changed after An Jing’s arrival.
Having experienced this firsthand, Bai Luo believed that when An Jing grew, even the decline of the Bright Mirror Sect could be reversed in an instant.
But time flows, and they cannot anticipate nor imagine the future; they can only choose to seize the present.
At this moment, Bai Luo noticed several Space Shuttles converging from the direction of other peaks; clearly, other True Disciples from the peaks had come.
"So be it."
With a sigh, he leapt down from the Space Shuttle.
"Weichen Peak True Transmission, Bai Luo, here to pay respects!"
