Chapter 1019 - 1019 979 A Challenge Outside the Sect

1019: Chapter 979: A Challenge Outside the Sect 1019: Chapter 979: A Challenge Outside the Sect Within the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, Lu Chuan and Xsu Qing walked along a small path inside the sect.

As they walked, Xsu Qing introduced everything about the place.

“Our sect was established almost a hundred years ago and has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge about Uncanny Fire.”

“Originally, we followed a family inheritance system to succeed the Sect Master, but as you know, my brother went to Cloud Sea City, so the future direction of our sect is still uncertain.”

“My father even said that he wants me to become the future Sect Master, but I’m not really interested in such matters.”

She sighed helplessly, appearing quite troubled.

Lu Chuan stopped in his tracks, turned to look at her, and asked, “Then what do you plan to do in the future?”

“I want to travel more.

The world is so beautiful, it would be too boring to stay cooped up here all the time.”

She shrugged helplessly.

Suddenly, she plucked a conspicuous bright yellow flower from the nearby bush.

She held it to her nose and smelled it, revealing an intoxicated expression, “To roam the mountains and waters, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, “It is indeed good to travel and see the world, but people bear responsibilities, and it’s hard to abandon everything for pleasure.”

His words plunged Xsu Qing into deep thought.

“You’re right.

Our sect is currently facing a crisis, and as the daughter of the Sect Master, I must shoulder that responsibility.”

She turned to look at Lu Chuan, pleading, “If our enemy comes knocking, would you help?

I would feel much more at ease if you would.”

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, “Of course.

If that bastard dares to come here, I’ll wipe him out completely, ensuring he won’t bother the Ten Thousand Fires Sect again.”

“Awesome!”

She smiled excitedly, “With your word, I feel a lot more relieved.

Let that bastard come!

If he comes, he’s asking for death!”

Her excitement was palpable as she clenched her small fist and swung a punch into the air.

“Come on, I’ll take you on a further tour and introduce you to some of the talented disciples in the sect, their Uncanny Fires are quite miraculous.”

She grabbed Lu Chuan’s sleeve, ready to continue forward.

Dongfang Cheng followed alongside, asking, “Lu Chuan, how long are we planning to stay here?

If that guy keeps hiding, won’t we end up guarding this place indefinitely?”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Indeed, we can’t stay long; the Yu family still needs our help.”

“In that case, let’s do this.

We take the initiative to strike, look for that bastard’s trail, find him and kill him, then we can descend the mountain.”

“Alright then…”

Dongfang Cheng said helplessly.

Xsu Qing, however, became excited internally.

She looked up at Lu Chuan with shining eyes, eagerly asking, “Is it true?

Are we going to take care of that bastard now?

That’s great!”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “It’s always good to solve troubles sooner.”

Just then, a figure hurried through the courtyard, shouting loudly.

“The Demonic Cultivator has appeared!

He’s here!”

“Lord Sect Leader, terrible news!”

The person, wearing a gray hemp garment, hurried toward the Sect Master’s residence.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly rushed over to intercept him.

“Young brother, what’s happened?

Has the Demonic Cultivator already attacked?”

The disciple who was stopped gasped for air, looking at Lu Chuan curiously, “Who are you?

I need to see the Sect Master, I have to tell him this in person!”

“He is my friend and he’s here to help our sect with some trouble.

You can tell us and it’ll be the same.”

Xsu Qing walked over, standing in front of Lu Chuan.

Upon seeing Xsu Qing, the disciple finally relaxed, “Alright, Miss, it’s like this: today, when I went down the mountain to chop firewood, I was knocked out and captured halfway through!”

“When I woke up, I found myself tied to a tree.”

“Then I saw, around me, on about a dozen trees, a disciple from our sect was tied up on each, all of them in a state of unconsciousness, totally unresponsive to my calls.”

“After that, the figure of the Demonic Cultivator appeared.

He told me to come back and relay a message, saying if we want these dozen disciples released, then Lord Sect Leader has to go down the mountain himself for a one-on-one challenge with the Demonic Cultivator!”

“If the Sect Master wins, the Demonic Cultivator will release all the disciples and will never harass us again.”

“If the Sect Master loses, then we will lose everything!”

He said in a panic.

Xsu Qing saw him trembling all over, with marks of bindings still visible on his arms, and guessed that he wasn’t lying.

It seemed that this was indeed true, indicating the Demonic Cultivator couldn’t sit still any longer and was planning to deal with this matter swiftly.

“This guy really has some nerve, daring to challenge my father like this—he’s courting death!”

“Miss, what should we do?

Or should we let the Sect Master go first, then we follow him in secret, and when the time is right, catch them all in one sweep?”

Xsu Qing shook her head slightly, “Let’s go consult with my father first.”

After that, she headed towards the Sect Leader’s residence.

Walking into the residence and pushing open the main door to the hall, she saw Xsu Changye and Xsu You both seated there, seemingly discussing something.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan and Xsu Qing entering quickly, Xsu Changye immediately stood up.

“Rushing in like this—what happened?”

Xsu Changye looked at them with a furrowed brow.

Xsu Qing glanced at the disciple following her and said, “You tell it.

Give us the complete account of what you experienced.”

The disciple stepped forward, clasping his hands and bending at the waist, and began to earnestly recount what had just occurred.

After he finished speaking, Xsu Changye stroked his beard, lost in thought.

Xsu You slammed his hand down on the armrest, stood up swiftly, and said, “That bastard is incredibly arrogant, completely disregarding us.

Dad, let me deal with him; I will annihilate his smugness and show him the strength of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect!”

Xsu Changye looked at Xsu You and asked, “Are you confident you can handle that guy?”

“Of course.

I’ve worked for the City Lord for many years and fought countless enemies.

Now, let me assist the sect.”

“I’ll deal with this enemy, and I’ll take care of him swiftly and decisively,” he said seriously.

After a moment of hesitation, Xsu Changye finally nodded.

“Alright, then you’ll be the one to deal with that guy.

The rest of us will be waiting at a distance to assist you.

If you go alone, you won’t alarm him easily, but if we all follow, that bastard will definitely flee.

So, face him alone, and if anything unexpected happens, call for our help immediately.”

Xsu You clasped his hands, stating gravely, “Leave it to me.

I will make that bastard regret provoking the Ten Thousand Fires Sect!”

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the exit.

Seeing this, Xsu Qing couldn’t help but remind, “Be careful, and if things go south, call for our help right away.”

“I know.”
