Acting cool required actual strength. If one couldn’t even drag the tail of the Sword Control Technique, how could one dream of playing it?

Zeng Jing took a deep breath and circulated the bit of fire-attribute spiritual energy that he had spent the entire night absorbing last night. He slapped forward, and with a whoosh, a stream of small flames streaked across the air.

He lowered his head and compared it to the long tail behind the sword under his senior sister’s feet. He couldn’t help but shake his head. “How embarrassing!”

On second thought, he wondered if he could use the 4.6 billion years of attributeless cultivation techniques. Uh… probably, what if… Hmm, it might not work unless he used some method to convert them to fire-attribute.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of how he had been able to absorb fire-attribute spiritual energy last night because he had eaten a lot of chili. Eh? Perhaps if he ate a large bunch of chili and made himself very angry, he could temporarily transform his 4.6 billion cultivation into fire-attribute?

It’s worth a shot!

They had almost reached the Wolong Manor while his thoughts were running wild.

The Wolong Manor was also located in the Shu Mountain, in close proximity to the Qingcheng Sect. It was beside the Wolong Lake under the Qingcheng Mountain.

This place had beautiful mountains and clear water. The pond was quiet and picturesque.

Hundreds of years ago, the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect saved the life of the Sect Master of Wolong Manor in a martial world calamity. From then on, the two sects entered a honeymoon period that lasted hundreds of years. The disciples of the two sects interacted a lot and exchanged countless Dharma treasures and spirit weapons. They often walked the martial world together.

When you are in trouble, I will support you. When I am in trouble, you will help out too.

The two factions thus established a deep friendship…

However!

The disciples who had formed the friendship had passed away. Not a single one of them was alive.

Bai Yan and the Loli Sect Master did not know anyone from the Wolong Manor, let alone Zeng Jing.

The three of them flew to a spot three miles away from the Wolong Manor. Five rays of light flew out from the villa towards them. A young and handsome young man flew in front. “Who are you?” He shouted from afar.

“The guardian of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, Bai Yan.” Bai Yan hurriedly replied.

“The Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, Yuan Yingjie.” The Loli Sect Master also mentioned.

“I’m Zeng Jing, a new disciple of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect.” Zeng Jing joined in seeing how they answered.

The five people who came over stiffened. Then, the young man flying in front said in surprise, “Are you Senior Sisters and Junior Brother of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect? Ah! So there’s still someone alive in the Sword Sect. That’s great. I heard that Old Fiend Baiyue attacked your sect and… We sent people to take a look after the incident, but we didn’t find any survivors. I didn’t expect anyone to still be alive.”

His excited appearance touched Bai Yan and the Loli Sect Master.

Zeng Jing put on an innocent face and pretended to be a little confused as he asked, “When did you send someone to take a look? After the incident, the three of us didn’t hide far away. Logically speaking, they should have seen us.”

“The day after it happened,” the young man said.

“Oh, then maybe it was the time when we went to look for the Mind-Clearing Grass,” Bai Yan said.

“Oh, that’s possible.” Zeng Jing laughed casually, but his heart was sinking. The day after the incident, the three of them had indeed left for a while to look for the Mind-Clearing Grass. However, they had only left for a few hours. If the people from the Wolong Manor really valued this friendship, they should have searched the place carefully and checked if there were any survivors in the ruins. It would not be difficult to wait for them to return.

Moreover, before Zeng Jing and the other two went to look for the Mind-Clearing Grass, they buried all the dead and built a new tomb. They even lived in the ruins for a night and cleaned up at least three rooms that could be lived in. If the people from the Wolong Manor had looked carefully, they would definitely have discovered these traces and determined that the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect was not completely destroyed with survivors.

However, the people from the Wolong Manor only took a quick glance and left without discovering anything. Perhaps they only flew over the Sword Sect on their swords and did not land at all. Just from this, it could be seen that this friendship was over.

Zeng Jing sighed in his heart. It’s in human nature to be cold and heartless.

Of course, they were still very enthusiastic on the surface. The five people who came to welcome them all had painful expressions on their faces. They brought Zeng Jing and the others to the entrance of the Wolong Manor. The three of them alighted from their flying swords and landed on the ground. The Manor Lord of the Wolong Manor immediately came out to welcome them personally with a painful expression. “Martial Nephew and Nieces, I’ve already heard about your sect’s misfortune. Sigh! Fortunately, the three of you survived. Isn’t this Martial Niece Yuan Yingjie? When your Master was alive, he mentioned you to me. He said that you’re his final disciple. You’re talented and have extraordinary comprehension abilities. Since you’re still alive and have become the Sect Master, the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect will definitely rise again one day.”

The Loli Sect Master could only bow like a disciple in front of such a senior. “I’m only at the advanced stage of the Qi Refinement realm now and still have a long way to go. Sigh…”

“It doesn’t matter. Your future is limitless. Don’t worry. With our relationship, if you encounter any difficulties, just come to us. My Wolong Manor will do our best to help you revive your Sect.”The Manor Lord reassured her.

“Thank you, Uncle-Master.” The Loli Sect Master continued, “To be honest, we do have difficulties and are asking for help this time.”

“Oh?” The Manor Lord’s expression stiffened almost imperceptibly.

The Sect Master said, “All our Dharma treasures and Artifact Spirits, have been destroyed. Now, we don’t have any Heavenly treasureS. We want to set up two Spirit Gathering Formation. One is of the water-attribute and the other is of the wood-attribute. We’re here to borrow some water-attribute and wood-attribute Dharma artifacts and Heavenly Treasures from Uncle-Master.”

“So that’s what happened.” The Manor Lord’s facial features nearly scrunched together. He suddenly put on a very difficult expression. “Disciple-Niece, I want to help you with this request, but we don’t have many Heavenly treasures nor Dharma artifacts. The manor has set up a few spirit gathering formations and have already used up all the Artifact Spirits. We really don’t have anything spare to lend you.”

At this point, he said in a low voice, “Besides, there are only three of you in the Sword Sect now, and your combat strength is extremely limited. If those itinerant cultivators find out that there are only three people guarding the two Spirit Gathering Formations, they will definitely come and snatch them. Wouldn’t that put you in even more danger?”

The Loli Sect Master would not muster a counter to that. Bai Yan did not reply either.

What he said was not unreasonable even though they understood the perfunctory tone in his voice. Bai Yan was at the early-stage Core Formation realm and the Loli Sect Master was at the advanced Qi Refinement realm. In addition, Zeng Jing, who had just entered the Qi Refinement realm. It would really attract others’ attention if they had two Spirit Gathering Formations.

Bai Yan wanted to say something else, but Zeng Jing took a step forward and blocked her. He cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master. In that case, let’s not set up the Spirit Gathering Formation. We’ll take our leave now.”
