Chapter 128: Chapter 128: You Really Dare to Think Big! Beast Taming Sect Taoist Child

"When one does wrong, one must face the punishment, this is only right and proper," Ji Lu said, his gaze lowered as he slowly began to speak.

He then took the lead in making an oath.

"I have never disclosed any news of the Beast Taming Sect’s Qin Dao, if I break this oath, let my path be extinguished, my journey end, and leave no descendants."

Only after this did he look towards the other four elders sitting below the stage.

Signaling for them to begin.

The burly man with a face full of beard, wearing a hint of discontent, spoke, "I have... descendant."

The next to speak was an old man in a blue cloak.

"I have..."

"Enough!"

"Old bird, there’s no need for any more oaths, I was the one who led those people to the forbidden land."

A calm voice emanated from the figure on the far left.

It was a man with a gaunt figure, a handsome face, and narrow serpentine pupils.

"Smelly snake?"

"Elder Wang?"

One by one, the senior members incredulously turned their gazes towards the man.

Whether it was the turmoil stirred by the Red Lotus Sect or the attack from the Star Moon Tower, Elder Wang had always been at the forefront.

"Why?" Ji Lu’s voice was somewhat hoarse; the man in front of him had grown up in the sect since childhood.

Family affection, friendships, everything he had was within the sect. How could he betray it?

"I just don’t agree with the choices you’ve all made."

"Putting all your hopes on one person, such a decision, I don’t agree with."

The man with narrow serpentine eyes spoke.

At the same time, he slowly stood up from the cushion, looking at Ji Lu and Liang Hui above him.

"Aren’t you going to kill me? Come and try."

A chill, snake-like aura began to rise from the man.

Behind Elder Wang, a blue phantom emerged. His aura continued to climb as he prepared for a desperate fight to the death.

It was only when Ji Lu took an ancient tripod from his bosom that the climbing aura abruptly ceased.

And then it quickly dissipated.

The golden serpentine pupils observed the three-legged ancient cauldron in Ji Lu’s hands.

The tripod was bronze in color, with patches of rust, adorned with images of the sun, moon, and stars, ancient peoples worshiping, as well as various shapes of exotic beasts.

Merely hovering in Ji Lu’s hand, he felt as though a mountain range loomed at his back, and countless powerful beasts looked down at him from the mountains.

"The Beast God Cauldron! Ji Lu, you’ve come well-prepared," the serpentine-eyed man said, as he resigned himself to his fate.

The Beast God Cauldron, an important artifact passed down since the founding of the Beast Taming Sect, could only be used by the sect leader through generations.

With it, an Entry Dao Level warrior like him could fight briefly against someone at the Primordial Spirit Level.

And the moment Ji Lu took out the "Beast God Cauldron," the Flowing Light Bell in Liang Hui’s mind began to tremble ever so slightly, ready to unleash a devastating toll.

Liang Hui couldn’t be sure if the sect leader beside him would strike at him.

After all, now that the serpentine-eyed man had stirred up trouble, he either had to flee the Beast Taming Sect or join the negotiation team, one way or another leaving the sect.

The difference lay in whether he would harbor resentment.

As an exceptionally talented individual, who knew if there would ever be a day for redemption.

And was there still a need to forsake a man of Entry Dao Level strength like the serpentine-eyed man?

As Liang Hui remained vigilant, the divine radiance surged on the Divine Beast Cauldron, and it struck directly at the serpentine-eyed man.

Bang!

His entire body was obliterated in an instant, and the serpentine-eyed man did not resist until his death.

Following the man’s death, the great hall fell into complete silence.

"Everyone, please leave. The sect’s decisions will not be wrong," Ji Lu said calmly, his voice echoing in the hall.

One by one, the high-ranking members of the Beast Taming Sect slowly left the hall, each with a different expression.

Soon, only Liang Hui and Ji Lu remained in the great hall.

"Taoist Child, it’s my fault."

"I never expected that an elder who has devoted himself to the sect would do such a thing, putting you in such a perilous situation."

"Afterwards, whichever path you choose, the sect won’t blame you."

Ji Lu’s face was filled with sincerity.

Sitting cross-legged nearby, Liang Hui also fell silent.

After a moment, he stood up, gripping the hilt of his sword.

"Let me go to the palace where the negotiation team is being held. I have some things to discuss with them."

"Okay."

The figure of the young man holding the sword hilt slowly disappeared into the grand hall.

Here, only Ji Lu was left sitting cross-legged on the cushion, looking at the ancient bronze cauldron in his hands.

Murmuring to himself:

"Ancestor, I’ve always made decisions based on the few restrictions you left. Can the sect be revitalized?"

...

Elsewhere.

Liang Hui made his way slowly to the palace where the envoys were being held.

He waved off the disciples guarding the door and strode inside.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps wasn’t concealed and soon caught the attention of everyone inside the palace.

"Lady Qing Yi, I think we should have a good talk," Liang Hui said, standing in the doorway with one hand on the hilt of his sword.

And the conversation to follow would affect his subsequent choice.

"Okay."

The woman nodded her head and gracefully walked toward the young man.

Side by side, the two walked out of the palace, heading for the summit.

For a time, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Smelling the fragrance that wafted from beside him and sensing the roughness of the sword hilt, Liang Hui spoke up to break the silence between them.

"Divine Maiden, you won’t be in danger."

"I know."

The woman’s eyes showed no change; she had clearly anticipated this outcome.

"However, if you want me to join the negotiation team, you’ll need to pay a price that intrigues me," Liang Hui slowed his pace, speaking seriously.

"What do you want?" Qing Yi asked, her red lips parting slightly.

The young man before her was designated by the Chu Nation to be seen; she hoped he would join the team to facilitate smooth negotiations between the two countries.

Of course, she would also protect him so that he could return safely.

Liang Hui extended his hand with three fingers outstretched.

"You need to agree to three things for me to be willing to join the team and take a risk with you in Chu Nation."

"Chu Nation might not..."

"That’s for you, but I just recently killed the most beloved princess of the Chu Emperor."

The young man directly interrupted her.

Qing Yi’s brows lightly furrowed as she looked at Liang Hui’s outstretched fingers.

"Then say it, what do you want me to agree to?"

"Rumor has it that an ancestor of the Red Lotus Sect once witnessed the descent of the Vermilion Bird and created martial arts accordingly. I want that scripture."

"It’s just a rumor, nothing more than an Exotic Bird with fire attributes that resembles the Vermilion Bird."

Qing Yi shook her head, stopping in her tracks.

Pausing, her beautiful eyes carried a hint of sincerity.

"However, if you want it, I can agree to give you this martial arts classic."

"Good, I also need a Sword Scripture," the young man said with a light laugh, taking his right hand off the sword hilt.

"Sword Scripture? To what level?"

"Of course, up to the Primordial Spirit Level. After all, I might not return from this trip, so I should leave a legacy for the sect."

Of course, the Sword Scripture was something Liang Hui himself needed, as the Crimson Sky Dragon Slaying Scripture he was cultivating could only be practiced up to the Entry Dao Level.

And the Primordial Spirit Level Jade Scroll given by the Beast Taming Sect did not match Liang Hui’s cultivation philosophy in the Sword Scriptures; the differences were too vast.

With his current strength, he simply couldn’t assimilate the knowledge within, and due to his own strength issues, he couldn’t enter the dream state required for the Jade Scroll.

"Are you dreaming, Qin Taozi?"

Even with Qing Yi’s temperament, her gaze towards the young man took on a helpless tone.

You really dare to dream big!
