"Eh …"
"Really? I think it's okay!" After joking, he stopped talking and fell into silence.
In response to this, Blood Lingtian quivered, then retreated from Linley's body, charging off into the distance.
He only had one thought now. He must not offend Lin Ray. Otherwise, he would be killed or on his way to be killed.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. In Dreamcloud City, Liu Changtian had waited for so many days. To the people of the Sword Sect, he had done his best.
Sitting in the restaurant, he raised his head and looked at the people coming and going outside the window. A trace of melancholy flashed across his face. "It's time to move around."
Thinking that he was about to go to the Sword Sect, his heart was very heavy. After all, he was not going there for sightseeing. He was going there to kill people.
Logically speaking, as a cultivator, killing people shouldn't be a big problem for him. However, he was different. After all, he used to be a City Lord. It was inevitable that there would be some hurdles in his heart that he couldn't get over.
He got up and threw the gold coin to the ground. Then, he walked out of the restaurant and looked at the Sword Sect. Then, he walked toward the Sword Sect.
He didn't walk very fast so that he could give the people of the Sword Sect the opportunity and time to do so.
What he didn't know was that after he exited the inn, his whereabouts were completely different from the time he was in Swords Gate.
The moment he stepped out of the restaurant, his message was sent out by Shun Jian to the higher-ups of the Sword Sect.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Sword Sect, all the elders and sect master of the sect were gathered. However, the scene was different from usual. It was weirder and … more depressing.
Moreover, each of the elders had a gloomy and worried expression. They were worried and afraid. They were afraid of what would happen to the Sword Sect after Liu Changtian arrived.
Would it be the Asura Battlefield or hell on earth? Would their Swords Gate be destroyed just like that?
"Junior Martial Brother Xiu, we just received news that Liu Changtian has left the restaurant. I don't think I need to tell you where he is going. You should know, right?"
"We understand."
"Mm, since that's the case, everyone … How about following me to welcome them at the Myriad Mountain Gates?"
"Although the other party is here to kill, as the Elders of the Sword Sect, we naturally cannot lose our hospitality." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we'll listen to Senior Brother Sect Leader's arrangements."
Seeing that his Junior Brothers did not refute him, Ling Jianzi nodded with relief. "In that case, come with me."
"Yes, we will obey."
Everyone cupped their hands and followed Ling Jianzi toward the mountain gate.
During the journey, the number of disciples in the Sword Sect decreased significantly. In the past, the disciples of the Sword Sect could be seen sitting together to discuss Sword Dao and cultivation, but now …
"Alas."
Ling Jianzi sighed. His face was full of dejection. He had never thought that his Sword Sect would have such a day. Thinking back to the glory of the Sword Sect in the past, it was just a pipe dream.
The group moved very quickly and arrived in front of the mountain gate. The two disciples who had been guarding the mountain gate were standing upright and doing their duty. When they heard footsteps behind them, the two of them turned their heads to look.
"Uh …"
When the two of them turned their heads and saw the appearance of the person who came, they were shocked and hurriedly bowed.
"Disciple … Disciple Liu Hai from Guanzhong greets Sect Leader and Elders."
"Well, you're not bad."
Looking at the two of them, Ling Jianzi's expression eased a little. Looking at his disciples, although their cultivation was not satisfactory, he could guarantee that their character was solid.
This was also the reason why the Sword Sect was established. The Sword Sect did not care how powerful the sect was. As the saying went, it could accommodate all rivers. The Sword Sect could tolerate your poor talent, but not your bad character.
"Thank … Thank you for your praise, Sect Leader."
Hearing Ling Jianzi's praise, the two disciples' faces bloomed with joy. At this moment, if they were asked to stand here for a few more years or decades, they would probably be able to do it.
"Well, keep up the good work."
After saying that, Ling Jianzi stopped talking and went out of the mountain gate. He came to a conspicuous open space and waited.
Behind him, the two of them were stunned when they saw their Sect Leader and all the Elders gathering so many people.
"Liu Hai, who do you think the Sect Leader and the Elders are waiting for?" Guan Zhong's voice sounded in Liu Hai's mind.
"Uh … This …" He also wanted to know the answer to his companion's question. It was also his first time seeing such a scene.
"It … it should be a big shot coming!" Thinking about it, Guan Zhong did not want to let the other party see that he did not know anything, so he just said casually.
However, perhaps even Guan Zhong himself had not thought that he had guessed correctly.
Time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, it was already morning. The person Ling Jianzi was waiting for still had not come. However, they did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"What's going on? Didn't Liu Changtian leave the Dreamy Cloud City?"
Looking at Wang Yun, Ling Jianzi transmitted his voice, "It's reasonable to say that it's only half a day's journey from the Dreamy Cloud City to here. Moreover, Liu Changtian has such a high cultivation."
"Uh … this … I …" Ling Jianzi's doubts were exactly what he was puzzled about at this moment.
Just like what Ling Jianzi said, it was reasonable to say that with Liu Changtian's cultivation, he would come here for at most two to four hours, or even more. Why was there no trace of him now?
Could it be that … he got lost?
This idea was rejected as soon as it was born. It was impossible for Liu Changtian not to know that Liu Changtian had come to the Sword Sect in the past. Moreover, he was the one who received him, so it was impossible for him to get lost.
Since he was not lost, then why …?
For a moment, Wang Yun could not figure out Liu Changtian.
While the Sword Sect's Sect Leader and Elders were waiting for Liu Changtian, Liu Changtian was sitting on the ground on a mountain peak not far from the Sword Sect. In front of a bonfire, Liu Changtian held a chicken that was almost roasted in his hand.
However, although Liu Changtian seemed to be roasting the chicken, his eyes had been fixed in the direction of the Sword Sect.
Yes, he was stalling for time, trying to buy more time for the Sword Sect. He was soft-hearted …
"Really, I don't know what Master is thinking. Why did he ask me to come and exterminate the sect? He knows that I used to be the City Lord, and I can't stand violence and killing the most." Thinking of the mission Lin Ray gave him, Liu Changtian was very conflicted.
"Forget it, let's eat first. We'll talk about it when we reach the Sword Sect. I've already given them so much time, I think they should have left by now."
After saying that, the chicken was roasted and he picked it up to eat. If Wang Yun and Ling Jianzi saw this scene at this moment, they would probably faint from anger.
They were a little cold in front of the mountain gate, but he was eating roasted chicken. However, if they knew what Liu Changtian was thinking, they would not be angered to death. Instead, they would be very grateful. After all, Liu Changtian was doing this for the sake of the Sword Sect's disciples.
The moon was bright and the stars were shining. In the blink of an eye, night came. The sky was shrouded in darkness, and Ling Jianzi and the others were still waiting quietly.
However, at this moment, Ling Jianzi and the others were no longer as calm as before. Some of them had already begun to complain.
"Really, if you want to come, then come. If you don't want to come, then don't come. Why are you taking so long? Aren't you just letting us roast over the fire?"
"Yeah, I really don't know what the other party is thinking."
Then, one person spoke, followed by another. Ling Jianzi wanted to say something, but when he thought of the other party's behavior, he acquiesced to their discussion.
Among the few people, only Wang Yun did not participate in the discussion. He knew how powerful the other party was, and he also knew that the other party was not coming because of something.
Moreover … we were willing to wait, not because the other party suggested it. Now that you can't wait, you're complaining. Are you crazy?
These were just Wang Yun's own thoughts. As for why he said it out loud, haha, sorry, was he kidding? If he said it out loud, would he still want to stay in the sect in the future?
However, Wang Yun's head was about to explode when he heard everyone's words behind him. For a moment, he couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Shut up, all of you. If you don't want to wait, go back to your own mountain. No one asked you to wait here."
"However, since you've chosen to wait, then wait obediently and quietly. Don't keep chattering behind me like a sissy. Aren't you ashamed?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly fell silent. Behind them, the two people from Guanzhong were shocked when they heard Elder Wang Yun's sudden words.
The scene was quiet. Ling Jianzi, who was at the side, was also stunned by Wang Yun's anger. He didn't expect Wang Yun, who usually looked weak, to be so strong now.
Clap, clap, clap …
The silence was broken by a sudden round of applause. "Not bad. I didn't expect the Sword Sect to be like this. I've learned something today."
Just as everyone was in a daze, a teasing voice came from afar. It could be heard that there was a hint in this voice.
"Huh?"
The sudden voice pulled everyone back to reality from their daze. They turned their heads and focused their gazes in the direction of the voice.
"You are …"
Looking at the smiling young man in the distance, Ling Jianzi subconsciously spoke. However, he regretted it as soon as he spoke.
Wasn't this f * cking obvious? Why did he ask such a stupid question?
Wang Yun, who was at the side, looked at Liu Changtian. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled bitterly. "You still came."
"Yes! I can't help it. I can't disobey my master's orders … "Liu Changtian wouldn't do anything to Wang Yun. After all, Liu Changtian was very clear about his character. As for those people who were talking about him just now, it was hard to say.
At this moment, the elders of the Sword Sect standing behind Wang Yun could tell from the words of the two that the young man in front of them was the person who came to destroy the sect.
They looked at Liu Changtian with curiosity and vigilance. Their gazes began to size up. "It's nothing. Why does Junior Brother Wang Yun seem to be very strong?"
"Middle-stage martial general. That's all …?"
"Heh, it seems that Junior Brother Wang Yun is overthinking. He wants to destroy our Sword Sect with such a cultivation base? He's really delusional."
Of course, these words were just in their hearts. They didn't say it out loud. As the saying goes, the older you get, the wiser you are. Leave a way out for yourself in the future. They wouldn't say such desperate words out loud.
Ignoring the curious gazes of the crowd, he slowly walked to Wang Yun's side and transmitted his voice, "How is it? How many disciples of your Sword Sect have left? Isn't it time for me to complete my mission?"
"This …" Hearing this, Wang Yun looked troubled. Some of the disciples of the Sword Sect had left, but some of them were unwilling to leave this scene that was etched in their minds.
"Why …" Wang Yun's hesitation made Liu Changtian's heart skip a beat. A bad premonition surged in his heart.
"Although the disciples of the sect have left, less than one-tenth of the total number of disciples in the sect are still standing. Tell me … how … how should we deal with this?"
"I …" As soon as he said this, Liu Changtian knew that he couldn't make a move in today's battle. He originally thought that it would be easier for him to make a move after the disciples of the Sword Sect had left.
But now … although they had left, what was the difference between this and not having them?!
Thinking about it, he felt that it was very troublesome. He would rather be tortured by Lin Ray. At least this way, it was simple and he could be loyal.
"Why don't … why don't we go to the Sword Sect and sit for a while first? As for this matter, how about we talk about it during dinner?" Knowing that Liu Changtian was in a difficult position, Wang Yun quickly spoke up.
"Well, that's the only way now." Looking at Wang Yun, Liu Changtian knew that he had to roll his eyes. At this moment, he couldn't tolerate it anymore. The disciples had not been evacuated and there were so many people in the sect. If he really made a move to kill a disciple of the Sword Sect, he was afraid that he would be hunted down by the other sects in the domain and be accused of being an evil cultivator.
"That's great, that's great!" Seeing that Liu Changtian was temporarily settled, Ling Jianzi immediately gave Wang Yun a thumbs up. He was getting more and more used to this junior brother of his. At this moment, Wang Yun felt much more relaxed.
Liu Changtian didn't pay attention to Ling Jianzi's words. Instead, he followed Wang Yun to the Sword Sect and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Sigh, another one that I can't afford to offend." Ling Jianzi's impression of Liu Changtian had decreased a lot in his heart.
"Let's go, let's follow them!" Seeing that Wang Yun and Liu Changtian's figures had disappeared, Ling Jianzi said to the rest of the junior brothers and then followed them.
Soon, the originally bustling entrance of the sect, after everyone had left, the two gatekeepers finally dared to breathe.
"Damn it, I'm suffocating."
"Isn't that so? But who was that young man who appeared just now? Why were the sect leader and elders so respectful to him? Even Elder Wang Yun was so respectful in front of Liu Changtian. "This question made the two people dumbfounded, and their expressions were full of confusion.
"Let's not think about it, let's not think about it. Who cares who he is, anyway, this matter is not something that we can handle."
"Well, I agree."
The two people nodded at the same time. Then, they no longer had the chance to think about what had happened just now and shifted all their attention elsewhere.
In the Sword Sect, Wang Yun brought Liu Changtian directly to his residence. He thought that the servants would cook, but Liu Changtian didn't expect that the person who cooked in the end was Liu Changtian, a martial cultivator at the martial general level.
"Are you sure the food you cooked … is edible?"
Liu Changtian couldn't eat Wang Yun's food. After all, he had never eaten Liu Changtian's food before. However … Ling Jianzi was different.
