Chapter 129: You Haven’t Betrayed Me, and I Can’t Betray You

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: You Haven’t Betrayed Me, and I Can’t Betray You

The youth chuckled lightly and did not reply again.

He turned around!

And started to walk down the mountain.

If she was not agreeable to such conditions, then there was no need to continue the negotiation.

He could simply leave the sect, and though he would regret the Beast Taming Sect’s decline as a result,

once he had grown stronger, he could establish an even more splendid one.

After all, the legacy of the sect was in his hands.

Liang Hui’s silhouette gradually faded into the distance, and just as he was about to disappear from view,

Qing Yi’s beautiful eyes held a trace of complexity.

"A damaged Primordial Spirit Sword Scripture, that’s the furthest I can concede," she said.

Thud!

The young man stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head, gazing at the woman.

"I would like to have a look at it first," he said.

"Alright," she replied.

Without hesitation, Qing Yi took a yellowed jade slip from her storage space and passed it over.

At the appearance of the jade slip, Liang Hui’s pupils constricted slightly.

He sensed the unique ’dream-entering’ aura it possessed.

Taking the jade slip, he submerged his consciousness within it, and a stream of information poured into his mind.

Before him, the woman with an aura transcending the mundane, started to explain slowly.

"The Qingyao Sword Scripture, something I obtained from a relic site. Though it is a Taoist Scripture of the Primordial Spirit, it only includes cultivation methods up to the Entry Dao Level, and the earlier realms are also severely damaged," she said.

Qing Yi did not hide the deficiencies and flaws of the scripture.

After briefly scanning the contents of the jade slip and sensing its exceptionally advanced essence,

Liang Hui instinctively took it into his chest.

"Divine Maiden, I have felt your sincerity, the second condition you have fulfilled," he said.

"For the last condition, I need you to make an oath," he added.

"An oath?" Qing Yi lightly furrowed her brows, the aura around her body growing stronger, her presence like the surging waves of a great sea, continuously reaching the young man’s ears.

It was the sound of Qi-Blood flowing—if she were to strike, it would surely be earth-shattering.

Clearly, the usually serene woman was angered.

"Speak!"

"On this mission to the Chu Nation, my life must be your top priority, no concealment or sabotage allowed," he demanded.

"And the so-called price?" she inquired.

"No price. With the Divine Maiden’s integrity, just making such an oath is enough," he answered.

Liang Hui stepped past the white-clothed woman’s figure, moving forward.

He never doubted the woman’s character behind him, as long as there was such an oath,

He would not be sacrificed for the so-called greater good.

"Fine," she assented.

"...."

After the oath was made, Qing Yi caught up to Liang Hui.

The two stood side by side on the mountain’s peak, overlooking the majestic rivers and mountains below.

A gentle breeze caressed their robes, making them appear as figures in a painting.

"Qin Taozi, possessing such strength at a young age, what do you cultivate for?" she asked.

"Immortality! Invincibility!" he replied firmly.

"Immortality? Throughout ancient and modern times, aside from him, I fear no one has achieved it."

"Even he must have encountered problems, otherwise that memory would not have descended upon the whole world," she mused quietly.

The woman’s voice was gentle, like a warm breeze in spring.

"Who knows, matters of that level are not for us to pry into," he said.

"Step by step, the end will finally be revealed, for better or worse," he added.

The youth laughed softly, but his eyes contained not a hint of mirth, only deep thought.

As a former victim of that memory, how could he not ponder the reason for his plight? It was a good start,

yet it had turned into a desperate flight for survival, endless cultivation, martial training, and relentless, countless battles to the death within dreams.

He was a man, capable of exhaustion, weariness, and pain, but he suppressed all these emotions, all for the sake of pride.

"Don’t let him find the person behind the scenes," no matter who it was, he wanted them to witness his fist honed in fire and blood.

"Brother Qin, I hope your journey to Chu Nation goes smoothly."

"It will go smoothly."

The youth, whose thoughts were interrupted, lowered his eyes, his face wearing a smile.

Of course, the journey to Chu Nation would go smoothly, as for what came after, that was none of his concern.

The two conversed for a while longer before parting ways.

Qing Yi stood on the mountaintop, watching the streak of light disappearing into the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with contemplation.

...

Elsewhere.

Liang Hui had already made up his mind.

What prompted him to do so, rather than leave the sect?

It was ultimately because the Beast Taming Sect, starting with Gong Hongfei, had never wronged him in the slightest.

While ensuring his own safety, he couldn’t just abandon everything and leave alone.

Without hesitation, he returned to the great hall.

Addressing Ji Lu, who was meditating in place, he said directly, "I am going to Chu Nation."

"The journey to Chu Nation will be extremely dangerous. It would be better for Taoist Child to leave the sect," Ji Lu responded.

"I’ve prepared enough resources for your cultivation up to the Qi Meridian," he said to Liang Hui, his face a little bitter.

With a light wave of his hand, a ring materialized in front of the young man.

"Inside, you’ll find the resources I’ve prepared for Taoist Child, as well as some artifacts for protection."

"While you are outside, just don’t forget the Beast Taming Sect," Ji Lu said.

Liang Hui didn’t respond verbally, instead reaching out to accept the ring and immersing his consciousness into it.

The resources within were extremely abundant, along with various treasures piled on one side, and several green talismans tucked away in a corner.

Each of those talismans exuded an aura far surpassing that of the Qi Meridian level, undoubtedly the heritage left by Divine Meridian powerhouses and Primordial Spirit grandmasters.

In that moment, even Liang Hui was astonished by the contents of the ring, which were probably worth half of the sect’s assets.

"Right, when Taoist Child leaves, take the Beast God Cauldron with you; who knows who would benefit from it if left here?" Ji Lu said as he pushed the bronze cauldron towards the young man.

In that instant, even Liang Hui, with his temperament, was touched deeply.

Taking two green talismans from the ring, he used the Mystic Altar to tear through space.

He placed the ring on the Divine Beast Cauldron and pushed it back.

"Sect Master, these items are enough. Chu Nation cannot hold me, and the sect will not fall," Liang Hui proclaimed with a solemn expression, making a vow.

He turned around,

and began to walk towards the exit of the great hall.

Ji Lu, sitting in the palace, had a complex look in his eyes as he gazed at the bronze cauldron and the ring before him.

"Ancestor, it seems your choice was not misplaced," he muttered almost imperceptibly within the palace.

...

The next day, at dawn.

A green tower ship rose from the Beast Taming Sect, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the horizon.

Aboard the tower ship, noble youths with anger, dissatisfaction, and even hostility sat staring at the figure seated at the bow.

Liang Hui ignored the varied gazes, flipping through a book in his hands, his fingers constantly shifting.

"Qin Taozi, don’t you have anything to say? Because of your selfishness, we were almost left behind in the Beast Taming Sect," a voice roared from behind.

A young man in Golden Armor, wielding a halberd, called out indignantly.

Liang Hui sighed softly and put the "Earth Sealing Tiger Art" into his chest pocket, wondering why the world was always full of fools.

He stood up.

Walking calmly towards the young man in Golden Armor, he emitted no aura whatsoever.

Yet, the young man kept retreating, his demeanor changing from haughty to filled with terror.

He recalled the memory of being on the brink of death after being struck casually that day.
