Chapter 844: Chapter 609: Reconciliation between the True Martial Sect and the Huaying Sect_2

Even the celestial Mountain displayed enough respect towards the True Martial Sect.

In other words, the True Martial Sect could be called the number one sect in the Western Territory!

After all, the Sect Master of the True Martial Sect had once reached the peak of celestial Mountain alone and crushed a massive ancient tree there with his bare hands before leaving.

As for the grievances between the True Martial Sect and the Huaying Sect, that could be traced back a long time ago.

Of course, this wasn’t a secret in the Western Territory; nearly everyone knew about it.

Wang Yang naturally knew this legend, thus he chose to directly enter the area controlled by the True Martial Sect to avoid being persistently harassed by people from the Huaying Sect.

But what Wang Yang didn’t expect was that the Huaying Sect’s attitude was very firm; they still sent the Four Great Flower Maidens to enter the territory, and Huaying herself even personally arrived at the True Martial Sect.

She came alone, showing enough sincerity!

In the True Martial Great Hall, the Sect Master of the True Martial Sect, Xiang Zhen, sat at a high position, while Huaying stood at the center of the hall, with her hands behind her back and a slight smile on her face, taking the lead to greet.

"Big brother, long time no see!"

"Heh, how come you, Huaying little sister, have time to visit your supposedly dead big brother today?"

Huaying naturally could hear the sarcasm in Xiang Zhen’s words, so she smiled bitterly, cupped her fists, and said sincerely.

"It was indeed Huaying’s fault for what happened back then, so today Huaying is here to apologize!"

"Apologize?"

Xiang Zhen let out a cold laugh, his tone full of disdain. If an apology could resolve the grudges from back then and make the two sects turn hostility into friendship, the grievances wouldn’t have persisted until now!

"During the struggle in the ancient ruins, I indeed used big brother to get the celestial Dao Sutra. I have been in seclusion and painstakingly comprehending it for years, but to no avail due to my limited talents. So now I am returning it to you, big brother, to help you break through your bottleneck!"

During the struggle in the ancient ruins, the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, as well as the celestial Mountain, participated in the fight for the celestial Dao Scripture, but ultimately, it was Huaying who got it.

There was a prior agreement that whichever force obtained the celestial Dao Scripture, the others would not make a move to snatch it, and any violation would result in expulsion from the Western Territory, never to return!

In the final struggle, Xiang Zhen awakened the True Martial Overlord Body, overpowering all the competitors and leading the charge. However, within the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, there was one sect that had an innate restraint over the True Martial Overlord Body.

The Lingyin Sect!

The Lingyin Technique of the Lingyin Sect could not only conceal one’s presence in the void but also had matchless speed, reputed as the fastest in the world.

The weakness of the True Martial Overlord Body was speed.

Even though the Overlord Body was incomparably strong, able to negate all the power of laws and even the force of life-bound magic weapons, it couldn’t withstand the assassination by the Lingyin Technique.

In the face of the fastest speed in the world, vulnerabilities were merely a matter of existence.

Xiang Zhen naturally knew this, so he teamed up with Huaying to trap the current Lingyin in a pre-arranged Beast-Taming Great Formation.

Xiang Zhen and Huaying both came from the same lineage of the Ancient Beast-Taming Sect. Xiang Zhen inherited the power of bloodline fusion, fusing the bloodlines of both the Demon Race and the Divine Beast Lineage, creating an unrivaled physique, the True Martial Overlord Body!

Huaying, on the other hand, inherited the oldest Beast-Taming Art.

However, what Xiang Zhen didn’t expect was that Huaying tampered with the Beast-Taming Great Formation, trapping both Xiang Zhen and the current Lingyin within it.

Xiang Zhen and Lingyin fought fiercely, showing no clear winner. Later, the two reconciled, and by the time the Great Formation was lifted, Huaying had already obtained the celestial Dao Scripture. Thus, the grudges between the True Martial Sect, the Lingyin Sect, and the Huaying Sect were formed.

"Do you think I would believe you?"

Xiang Zhen shook his head with a smile. The events of that year had already exhausted his trust in Huaying, and the priceless nature of the celestial Dao Scripture made it hard to believe that Huaying would hand it over so easily.

The celestial Dao Scripture inherited from the ancient ruins could compensate for the incomplete laws of the current world, which was critical for breaking through the barriers of one’s realm.

"I have brought the scripture, big brother, please take it!"

Fearing that Xiang Zhen wouldn’t believe her, Huaying waved her hand, and a piece of scripture appeared in the void, completely blank, without a single character.

"Even with your talent, you couldn’t comprehend the mysteries of the scripture. For me, it’s nothing but a piece of waste paper. Tell me, what do you really want!"

Sensing the celestial Dao Origin Force within the scripture, Xiang Zhen nodded lightly. It seemed Huaying was indeed sincere, but the Wordless Heavenly Scripture held little meaning for Xiang Zhen.

Huaying’s talent ranked among the top within the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, being one of the few Saints in the Cultivation Sect, yet she couldn’t understand it. Xiang Zhen, a rough warrior, had even less hope of grasping its true essence.

But being unable to grasp it did not mean Xiang Zhen didn’t want to try. With a slight bend of his fingers, he grasped the scripture in the void first.

Seeing Xiang Zhen take the celestial Dao Scripture, a slight smile appeared on Huaying’s lips. This way, they could negotiate with peace of mind.

"I don’t have any special requests, I just hope our two sects can reconcile and let bygones be bygones!"

Huaying spoke earnestly, and upon hearing this, Xiang Zhen revealed a slight smile. The matter of Qingcheng Mountain Sect’s Wang Yang killing Luo Han of the Nine Swords Sect at the border of the Western Territory was already widely known.

Especially when Flower Maiden Xia He interceded, others might not understand this action, simply thinking the Seven Sects and Eight Factions were united. But Xiang Zhen knew very well that Wang Yang must have something that moved the Flower Maiden.

What could possibly interest a Flower Maiden from the Huaying Sect, except for something related to the Divine Beast Lineage of the Demon Race?

Now that Wang Yang had entered the True Dragon City, which was within the True Martial Sect’s sphere of influence, Huaying’s current arrival to hand over the scripture and seek peace was certainly for a reason.

At the very least, the secret Wang Yang carried must be more important than the celestial Dao Scripture!

"Fine!"

Xiang Zhen agreed without the slightest hesitation, which surprised Huaying, who had even prepared for being refused.

"Then let me thank you, big brother. From now on, the friendship between the Huaying Sect and the True Martial Sect will last forever!"

"Of course!"

"Huaying takes her leave!"

Xiang Zhen nodded, not standing up to see her off. Huaying didn’t mind, turning to leave the True Martial Sect. Watching her departing figure, Xiang Zhen fell into contemplation.

To make Huaying so concerned, the Divine Beast residing in Wang Yang must have an extraordinary origin.

"Is the Sect Master contemplating which Divine Beast lineage inhabits that Qingcheng Mountain Sect kid Wang Yang?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the great hall, followed by a figure emerging from the void at the exact spot where Huaying was just standing!

Such a close distance, almost overlapping, and Huaying didn’t even notice, proving the terrifying cultivation level of this person.

"You catch on fast!"

Xiang Zhen joked, then waved his hand, making the celestial Dao Scripture reappear in the void.

"Huaying’s aura is getting deeper, she must have comprehended part of the scripture’s profound truths but reached a bottleneck and couldn’t break through, so she willingly handed it over to gain your friendship!"

"I could see that. When you and I were trapped in the Beast-Taming Great Formation, we already knew Huaying’s exact cultivation level, she had long been in the Saint Realm."

The man laughed. It was the current Lingyin who directly took the scripture. Due to the battle back then, the two had forged an unshakeable friendship, with mutual admiration.

In such a realm, having a close friend was rare and precious.

Xiang Zhen couldn’t comprehend it, so he naturally handed it to Lingyin, whose talent and aptitude matched Huaying’s.

Not long ago, under pressure from the imperial court’s army, Qingyuanzi, the Sect Master of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect, was forced to disband all his disciples, leading to the dissolution of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect. This boy Wang Yang was a last disciple of Qingyuanzi, taken in nine years ago. He had exceptional talent and reportedly his identity involved the Royal Family, but the specifics were unconfirmed due to the tight information blockade by the Royal Family!

Lingyin sighed and explained everything he had recently investigated to Xiang Zhen, who nodded, not unfamiliar with the name "True Person of Qingcheng Mountain!"
