Chapter 847: Chapter 611: No One Can Touch Him Here

"And in the end?"

"How did the two of them break through the Beast-Taming Great Formation?"

"Who ended up with the celestial Dao Scripture? Could it have been taken by Huaying?"

Those listening below began to chatter, raising questions. Elder Liu waved his hand and struck his wooden gavel, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

"Indeed, the celestial Dao Scripture was taken by Huaying. At that time, everyone involved in the competition had agreed on the rules before the ancient ruins opened!"

"Regardless of which faction acquired the celestial Dao Scripture, the other factions were not allowed to continue fighting for it, or else they would be expelled from the Western Territory, never to return!"

"After Huaying obtained the celestial Dao Scripture, they dissolved the Beast-Taming Great Formation. This is the reason behind the enmity between the True Martial Sect and the Huaying Sect!"

"Elder Liu, how do you know so much about the events of those years?"

As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, someone immediately raised their doubt. By logic, such matters should remain secrets among the major sects, so how could a regular person be so well-informed?

"Just a compilation of some legends and histories, nothing significant! Everyone should just have a listen!"

Elder Liu chuckled lightly and casually explained, but this explanation was rather perfunctory and hardly convincing.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

At that moment, a young man in the first-floor hall suddenly stood up, applauding and praising aloud.

"Truly, you are a venerable pillar of the cultivation community. There seems to be nothing in this world that you do not know!"

Elder Liu looked towards the youth, smiling slightly, not at all perturbed by the young man’s veiled sarcasm, as the youth’s status warranted such arrogance.

"A grand arrival by the Young Sect Master of the True Martial Sect. I apologize for my failure to welcome you properly!"

With these words, he directly revealed the youth’s identity. The young man shook his head with a smile and clasped his fists respectfully towards Elder Liu.

"Cao Man of the True Martial Sect pays respects to Elder Liu Wen!"

"Young Sect Master, have I said something that offends the True Martial Sect?"

"Of course not! My True Martial Sect seeks to validate the Dao through martial prowess, embracing all rivers. Moreover, what Elder Liu spoke of is indeed truthful, and certain matters ought to be made public!"

Given Elder Liu’s advanced age, even if Xiang Zhen were here, he would have to show due respect.

"Thank you for your understanding, Young Sect Master!"

"No need for such courtesy, Elder Liu. I often listen to your stories. Today, I’ve come to find someone; I hope someone among you has seen them and might inform me!"

"Please speak, Young Sect Master, we will do our utmost to assist!"

As soon as Cao Man finished speaking, everyone in the tavern hurriedly responded in agreement, eager to forge a good relationship with the True Martial Sect. Even in the Western Territory, such a connection would be something to boast about.

"Then I extend my heartfelt thanks to you, fellow Daoists!"

"The person is named Wang Yang, a disciple of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect. As for his likeness, please look up!"

With a wave of Cao Man’s hand, Wang Yang’s appearance materialized in the void, visible to everyone present.

Su Yue tugged at Wang Yang’s arm, leaning forward and whispering in his ear.

"Young Master, why is the True Martial Sect also targeting us?"

"Hehe, whether they are enemies or friends remains to be seen!"

Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, judging from the lack of killing intent from Cao Man, he might lean towards being a friend rather than an enemy.

"Wang Yang is here!"

As everyone was still scrutinizing the image, Wang Yang spoke up directly and stepped forward. Upon seeing him, Cao Man’s figure instantly flashed and disappeared, reappearing before him.

"Greetings, Daoist Wang Yang. The Qingcheng Mountain Sect and the True Martial Sect share a deep connection. I have come specifically to welcome you; your accommodation has been prepared, please!"

Cao Man’s words, infused with spiritual power, ensured everyone in the tavern heard clearly: Wang Yang was a friend of the True Martial Sect!

Wang Yang was somewhat surprised by this, as he had never heard of the connection between the True Martial Sect and Qingcheng Mountain Sect before.

"I appreciate it!"

Since the Young Sect Master of the True Martial Sect had personally come to welcome him, the connection must indeed run deep. Wang Yang did not stand on ceremony and immediately followed Cao Man, taking Su Yue along.

He had been worrying about finding a place to settle, and Cao Man’s arrival was timely rescue!

"Wait!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the second floor. Then, two figures in green robes with swords at their waists appeared. On their robes was a distinctive mark of nine flying swords.

Nine Swords Sect!

"Do you need something?"

Cao Man turned around and looked at the man and woman from the Nine Swords Sect, his brows slightly furrowing, his voice turning cold.

"This person slaughtered our Nine Swords Sect disciple Luo Han on the border of the Western Territory. According to our rules, we have the right to bring him back to the sect for punishment!"

"Rules? In the territory controlled by my True Martial Sect, you speak to me of the rules of the Nine Swords Sect?"

Cao Man sneered, stepping forward to stand in front of Wang Yang and Su Yue, looking directly at the two from the Nine Swords Sect, his tone filled with disdain!

"The rules are indeed those of our cultivation community. Young Sect Master, do you intend to oppose all cultivation sects in the Western Territory?"

The man, a disciple of the Nine Swords Sect and bearer of the Eighty-One Swords’ Qingyun Sword,

Lin Fan, spoke with a deep voice, surprised by Cao Man’s staunch attitude, resorting to the leverage of rules.

"Just a mere True One, do you dare boast in front of me?"

"Are all Nine Swords Sect members so lacking in brains?"

Seeing Lin Fan’s serious expression amused Cao Man, thinking that rules are agreements among the weak, while the strong speak only in terms of power.

"Do you look down on my Nine Swords Sect?"

"It’s not about looking down; it’s that I’ve never regarded you highly at all!"

"With such words, does the Young Sect Master imply that my Nine Swords Sect has no one of significance?"
