Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: Sudden Inspiration
Elder Han Xingyu initially did not believe Fang Bai could be a Cosmic Level Expert until Zhuge Lian, in desperation, swore a poisonous oath. It was then that she started to take it seriously.
If what Zhuge Lian said was true, it would represent an unprecedented crisis for the Xuannv Sect. If mishandled, the sect could collapse.
In the True Martial Realm, only high-ranking members of second-rank powerful sects or a very few Individual Cultivation Martial Artists possessed cultivation at the Cosmic Level Realm.
The higher the cultivation realm of a martial artist, the greater the gap in strength between different realms.
For example, an early-stage Vast Level Martial Artist could contend with five Desolate Level Perfection Martial Artists, while an early-stage Cosmic Level Martial Artist could take on ten Vast Level Perfection experts.
And for a third-rank sect like the Xuannv Sect, only the Sect Leader was a Vast Level Perfection Expert.
This meant that if Fang Bai was indeed an early-stage Cosmic Level Expert as Zhuge Lian claimed, and if the Xuannv Sect refused to release the imprisoned Linghu sisters, once Fang Bai came knocking, the Xuannv Sect would surely face a bloodbath and pay a heavy price.
Elder Han Xingyu had watched Zhuge Lian grow up and was very familiar with her character. She knew that on such a critical matter concerning the life and death of the Xuannv Sect, Zhuge Lian would never dare to lie.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Elder Han Xingyu immediately dispatched two accompanying disciples to return to the Xuannv Sect to report the matter and request the Sect Master’s decision.
Meanwhile, Elder Han Xingyu and the other disciples, including Zhuge Lian, remained at the Purple Flame Sect, observing the situation quietly.
Now, when the disciples from all the major sects gathered in the Purple Flame Sect’s Practice Battle Arena, Elder Han Xingyu paid special attention to Fang Bai, who was among the Bitao Martial Academy disciples.
Before this, Elder Han Xingyu did not know Fang Bai and had no interest in a core disciple from a fourth-rank sect.
However, last night, after Zhuge Lian described Fang Bai’s appearance and stature, Elder Han Xingyu recognized him at a glance today.
As a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Fang Bai was among the most ordinary of the hundreds of disciples present in the Practice Battle Arena. It would be impossible for an expert at Elder Han Xingyu’s level to pay special attention to him.
Yet, if someone took a closer look at Fang Bai, they would discover some traits that set him apart from the others.
And at this moment, that was exactly what Elder Han Xingyu did.
After observing Fang Bai for a moment, she noticed that this young martial artist, who was only about twenty years old, possessed a composure far beyond his peers. The ethereal quality about him was more befitting of the treasured scion cultivated by a first-rank great sect.
While Elder Han Xingyu could sense from Fang Bai an aura matching that of a Heaven Level Martial Artist, consistent with his status as a core disciple in the Bitao Martial Academy, she was one hundred percent certain that Fang Bai was not as straightforward as he appeared to be. She thought to herself that Fang Bai must have cultivated some secret technique to conceal his aura, making it impossible for others to probe his true strength.
"Could this Fang Bai be a disciple from a first-rank sect out for experience, who joined the Bitao Martial Academy to temper his mind? Or, could there be a connection between Bitao Martial Academy and a first-rank sect?"
A sudden thought struck Elder Han Xingyu.
Of these two possibilities, Elder Han Xingyu was more inclined toward the former.
Because in the legends, some disciples from the great Sects would intentionally hide their identities, join lower-tier Sects, and start from the position of the most junior disciples to temper their minds. Enduring a thousand hardships and countless trials, they would strengthen their minds step by step. Together with the improvement of their Cultivation Level, they would eventually achieve great success in the Martial Dao.
If Bitao Martial Academy was connected to a first-rate Sect, then Thousand Lakes Country would have probably long ceased to have anything to do with the Purple Flame Sect, and the dominance would absolutely belong to Bitao Martial Academy.
Han Xingyu sized up Fang Bai for a moment, and suddenly noticed that Fang Bai was also looking at her, his face bearing a profound and enigmatic smile.
Only then did Han Xingyu suddenly become aware that staring at someone who might have Cosmic Level Cultivation was an offense. If Fang Bai had a bad temper and got angry because of it, she would definitely be in a situation she couldn’t handle.
Don’t think that just because Han Xingyu is a mid-tier Vast Level expert, capable of sweeping through a fourth-rate Sect all by herself, that she would be anything in front of a Cosmic Level Expert. She would have to be honest and respectful, otherwise, if the other party wanted to deal with her, it would be no different from squashing an ant.
Han Xingyu looked into Fang Bai’s eyes, but felt as if his eyes were like black holes in a starry sky, whirlpools in the abyss. The moment their gazes crossed, she felt like she was about to be sucked in, which shocked her greatly. She hurriedly shifted her gaze elsewhere, and a layer of cold sweat had already formed on her body.
"This Fang Bai is so frightening! In the past, I was fortunate enough to meet a Steward from a second-rate Sect; even though he was a beginner level Cosmic Level Expert, he never made me feel this way!" Han Xingyu secretly took a deep breath, vowing in her heart not to look at Fang Bai again.
At this time, Han Xingyu was absolutely certain that Fang Bai had the strength of a Cosmic Level Expert just as Zhuge Lian had said. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to exert such tremendous pressure on her.
Thinking of the Linghu sisters’ situation, Han Xingyu became anxious; she wished she could immediately return to the Xuannv Sect and personally persuade the Sect Master to release the Linghu sisters from imprisonment, so as not to bring disaster upon the Xuannv Sect because of this.
"Elder Han... are you really okay?" Seeing Han Xingyu’s unusual expression and her restless demeanor, Zu Tiangang grew more puzzled and frowned as he asked.
"This... I’ve suddenly thought of some urgent matters... Sect Master Zu, I plan on returning to the Xuannv Sect immediately after this martial contest concludes, and I can’t stay here any longer." Han Xingyu had originally intended to discuss with Zu Tiangang about deepening the relationship between their two Sects after the martial Sect convention of Thousand Lakes Country concluded, but where could she find the mood for that now?
Han Xingyu had heard from Zhuge Lian last night that Fang Bai once had a conflict with the Purple Flame Sect. At the time, she didn’t take it to heart, but now that she realized Fang Bai’s true strength, she wondered if Fang Bai would harbor even more resentment towards the Xuannv Sect, considering the close relationship between the Xuannv Sect and the Purple Flame Sect?
Han Xingyu had decided that when she returned to the Xuannv Sect, her first order of business would be to persuade the Sect Master to quickly release the Linghu sisters from their imprisonment, and the second matter would be to urge the Sect Master to distance themselves from the Purple Flame Sect as much as possible, in order to avoid incurring Fang Bai’s wrath for guilt by association.
Seeing Han Xingyu anxious to return to the Xuannv Sect and not ready to discuss anything else, Zu Tiangang felt displeased and said with a serious voice while twisting his beard, "If Elder Han has urgent matters, you can leave after the martial contest ends tomorrow. However, about our two Sects’ plans for a marriage alliance..."
"We’ll talk about the marriage alliance later." As soon as Zu Tiangang brought up the marriage alliance, Han Xingyu immediately thought of another thing that Zhuge Lian had told her the night before, so she interrupted him.
Last night, Zhuge Lian had told Han Xingyu about how she had met Fang Bai and asked him to disrupt her arranged marriage with Zu Yu in order to save their Sect from crisis. From this, Han Xingyu learned that Zhuge Lian and Fang Bai had a significant relationship and wondered whether Fang Bai had any feelings for Zhuge Lian—why else would he take action on Zhuge Lian’s behalf against Zu Yu?
If Fang Bai truly had feelings for Zhuge Lian, then Zu Tiangang bringing up the matter of the marriage alliance could make Fang Bai even more displeased. And if Fang Bai decided to take matters into his own hands to claim her as his Martial Dao partner by force, even if the Xuannv Sect and the Purple Flame Sect joined forces, they would be utterly unable to stop him.
