Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: I’m a Bit Scared
Xuannv Sect, despite being a third-grade sect with numerous Vast Level Experts, could not bear the fury of a Cosmic Level Expert.
If Fang Bai learned that the Linghu Sisters were imprisoned in Xuannv Sect, the consequences of his wrathful onslaught would be unimaginable.
Zhuge Lian shuddered at the vision of Xuannv Sect flowing with rivers of blood and strewn with death and injury that emerged before her eyes.
Seeing Zhuge Lian’s hesitation, Fang Bai became even more certain that the Linghu Sisters were mistreated in Xuannv Sect. He took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Zhuge Lian, his voice solemn, "Xiao Lian, if you still consider me a friend, then tell me the current plight of the Linghu Sisters."
Zhuge Lian felt there was something terrifying in Fang Bai’s eyes at that moment and didn’t dare meet his gaze, saying, "Brother Fang, don’t be agitated. The Linghu Sisters aren’t being mistreated, they are just... temporarily imprisoned..."
"Why imprison them?"
Fang Bai’s gaze grew colder.
For Fang Bai, imprisonment meant being deprived of personal freedom, a kind of psychological abuse that was sometimes harder to bear than physical abuse.
"It’s because the Sect Leader wants them to marry excellent disciples from other sects, but they’d rather die than comply. In a fit of anger, the Sect Leader imprisoned them, saying they would only regain their freedom once they changed their minds. In reality, they are just confined to a small valley without cultivation resources for the time being and are not suffering from any other hardships."
Zhuge Lian glanced at Fang Bai as she spoke, then said mournfully, "Brother Fang, please don’t look at me like that. I’m... a little scared..."
Fang Bai, who was concerned for the Linghu Sisters, felt slightly relieved upon hearing they hadn’t suffered much, and his gaze softened a bit. He sighed, "Xiao Lian, the Linghu Sisters and I were both mentors and friends in the Secular World. Hearing about their situation made me act impulsively, and I lost my composure. Don’t hold it against me!"
Zhuge Lian shook her head, "I’m not blaming you."
But she thought to herself, "The moment Brother Fang heard that the two Junior Sister Linghus were imprisoned, he became very unstable, ready to kill. Their relationship with him might not be as simple as mentor and friend, right? Could the Linghu Sisters’ refusal to marry disciples from other sects be because they harbor feelings for Brother Fang?"
How could Fang Bai know what Zhuge Lian was thinking? He said, "Xiao Lian, take me to Xuannv Sect. I want to meet your Sect Leader. I must ask her why she is forcing the Linghu Sisters to do something against their will. Isn’t your Sect Leader a woman too? Why must women make life difficult for other women?"
Zhuge Lian was startled and hurriedly said, "Brother Fang, no! I can’t take you there! If you can’t control yourself and end up killing many Xuannv Sect disciples, I’ll become the eternal sinner of Xuannv Sect!"
Fang Bai said, "As long as your Sect Leader agrees to release the Linghu Sisters and apologizes to them, I naturally won’t resort to violence. Otherwise..."
Fang Bai’s eyes showed a cold gleam, and his overbearing aura surfaced as he said firmly, "I will certainly not be courteous!"
Zhuge Lian replied anxiously, "But... but our Sect Leader is a very proud person, and she likely can’t remove her dignity enough to apologize to the two Junior Sister Linghus... Brother Fang, how about this? After your Thousand Lakes Country’s Sect Conference ends, I’ll return to Xuannv Sect first and persuade the Sect Leader to release the Linghu Sisters, to treat them well in the future, and not to let them suffer any more grievances... would that be acceptable?"
Fang Bai had wanted to create a big scene at Xuannv Sect to vent his anger for the Linghu Sisters. Seeing Zhuge Lian almost in tears and considering that the Linghu Sisters held their master, Linghu Hongyan, in high respect, and recognizing that Linghu Hongyan was also a disciple of Xuannv Sect, he realized that they might not want him to turn Xuannv Sect upside down. He replied, "Alright, Xiao Lian, I agree. However, when you return to Xuannv Sect, I will follow along to see the Linghu Sisters and ensure they are unharmed before I can be at ease."
Zhuge Lian thought for a moment and nodded, "As long as Brother Fang doesn’t stir up trouble at the Xuannv Sect or attack its disciples, I will listen to everything you say."
Fang Bai thought to himself that he must hasten to speak with Elder Han upon his return and then persuade the Sect Master together with Elder Han once he was back at the Xuannv Sect.
What worried Zhuge Lian, however, was that the Sect Master was known for her staunch and extreme personality. She couldn’t help wondering if the Sect Master would agree to release the imprisoned Linghu Sisters; otherwise, it would be a disaster for the Xuannv Sect.
Moments later, Zhuge Lian left with a heavy heart.
Watching Zhuge Lian leave, Fang Bai, too, returned to his residence with concerns of his own.
Relative to Zhuge Lian’s heavy worries, Fang Bai was more excited.
Relieved to know that the Linghu Sisters hadn’t suffered, Fang Bai settled down and was no longer in a rush to go to them immediately.
His excitement stemmed from the thought that he would soon meet the sisters and share long-overdue conversations, possibly learning more news about friends from the Secular World.
"Who would have thought they’d both become Desolate Level Martial Artists, they’ve made quick progress!"
Thinking of the Linghu Sisters’ advancement to Desolate Level Martial Artists, he knew they must have diligently practiced martial arts and underwent rigorous cultivation to reach their current realm, which filled him with gratification; a smile played on his lips.
However, his expression suddenly turned cold as he thought of the sisters being imprisoned by the Xuannv Sect Master for refusing an arranged marriage. Anger welled up inside him, and he thought to himself, "If I meet the Linghu Sisters and find out they have been mistreated, even if Zhuge Lian pleads their case, don’t blame me for being heartless! While a Third-grade Sect might dominate a small country like Thousand Lakes Country, I could annihilate it without breaking a sweat!"
After sending Zhuge Lian off and returning, Ge Feng beckoned the other disciples to return to their rooms for rest and with a beaming smile, inquired about Zhuge Lian. He also reminded Fang Bai to maintain a good relationship with her.
Fang Bai naturally understood what Ge Feng was thinking; he hoped that through Zhuge Lian, Bitao Martial Academy could forge a close connection with the Xuannv Sect.
On the surface, Fang Bai agreed, but he didn’t take it seriously in his heart.
Fang Bai was already preparing to act soon, planning for the Bitao Martial Academy to replace the Purple Flame Sect and become the new ruler of Thousand Lakes Country. By that time, what would he care for the Xuannv Sect?
For Fang Bai, who was capable of contesting Cosmic Level Experts, turning things upside down single-handedly in Thousand Lakes Country, the largest domain of a Third-grade Sect, was not difficult.
Early the next day, disciples from all the major Sects gathered on the vast Practice Battle Arena of the Purple Flame Sect for the Sect tournament.
After a night of restorative cultivation, every Sect Disciple was brimming with energy and in peak condition, each full of confidence in achieving a good ranking.
As the morning sun began to rise, the high-ranking officials of the Purple Flame Sect and leaders from the various Sects ascended the gigantic Stone Platform at the center of the Practice Battle Arena. They took their seats in stone chairs at the northern end of the platform.
As judges, they would ensure the fairness and integrity of the tournament.
