Chapter 162
Thinking back to how this disciple named Baili Han had also stolen the Buddha's relics last time, Sect Master Xuanming was filled with sinister killing intent. He wished he could strangle this blond-haired brat who had appeared out of nowhere!
Is this guy here specifically to antagonize him?
Baili Han raised his eyes indifferently.
When the Xuanming Sect Master met those cold and indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but gasp, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
A cultivator's premonitions are completely different from those of ordinary people; often they are warnings from the Heavenly Dao.
The Xuanming Sect Master harbored even deeper murderous intent towards Baili Han. If this boy was not eliminated, he would eventually become a major threat, and all the grand plans he had made might be ruined by him!
However, under the oppressive gaze of the Supreme Elder, Sect Master Xuanming dared not show any unusual behavior.
But he deeply regretted not having discovered Baili Han before.
Now that he has become a crucial pawn in the hands of the Supreme Elder, this is a very bad situation!
Unsurprisingly, Sect Master Xuanming came to inquire about the Immortal Sword.
The Supreme Elder was also very direct, saying calmly that the Immortal Sword has a spirit, and whoever chooses to become its master is that person's destiny.
The meaning is to tell Sect Master Xuanming and the others to stop daydreaming.
They weren't part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series!
Sect Master Xuanming pulled back the indignant Duan Tianyi and bowed respectfully, saying, "Grandmaster Uncle is absolutely right."
The Supreme Elder glanced at Duan Tianyi, whose face was full of resentment, and was so disappointed that he didn't even want to sigh anymore. "Step down!"
As he left, Duan Tianyi glared fiercely at Baili Han.
Duan Tianyi loathed this pretty boy who kept stealing his treasures and shamelessly clung to his Daoist partner while feigning pitifulness.
He regretted countless times that he hadn't killed Baili Han while he was still at Tianyang Peak, crushed his soul, and condemned him to eternal damnation!
Who knows, a dog that bites might not bark!
Duan Tianyi is a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even without using spiritual pressure, his gaze is something a low-level cultivator cannot withstand.
He originally intended to teach Baili Han a lesson, to embarrass him in front of the Supreme Elder, but...
A Nascent Soul cultivator thinks he can scare a demon seed with just a glance?
I have to say, the male lead is incredibly naive!
Baili Han met Duan Tianyi's gaze without flinching, his deep pupils seeming to vanish for a moment, transforming into a purple vortex.
Bang!
Duan Tianyi fell flat on his face, his feet sticking up in the air – it was an incredibly embarrassing sight.
Grand Elder: "..."
Sect Master Xuanming: "..."
Duan Tianyi was stunned, his face turning a deep shade of liver!
He scrambled to his feet, pointed at Baili Han, and roared, "It's you!"
Baili Han held the Snow Soul Sword without saying a word.
"You little bastard..."
"You bastard!"
thump!
Enraged by the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Venerable, Duan Tianyi once again slammed his knees to the ground, unable to rise.
Duan Tianyi was both humiliated and terrified.
The Supreme Elder looked at him coldly, "Duan Tianyi, are you getting worse as you get older? Have you lost even the most basic manners?"
Duan Tianyi, who was arrogant and proud of himself, valued his reputation the most. Now that the Supreme Elder had scolded him for being ill-mannered in front of the pretty boy, his face twisted in anger, and he hated Baili Han and the Supreme Elder to the core!
Duan Tianyi gritted his teeth, "Ancestor, it was that scoundrel Baili Han who ambushed our disciple."
The Supreme Elder sneered, "You, a Nascent Soul cultivator, were able to be ambushed by a Foundation Establishment disciple? Are you a fake Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Moreover, how could Baili Han possibly plot against Duan Tianyi when he was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage?
This person is becoming more and more despicable; he even dares to use such despicable tactics in front of him.
The innocent young man stood there calmly, untainted by the mud, offering no explanation. It was unclear whether he was used to being framed or simply had an open mind and didn't care.
Regardless of the reason, it shows that the Supreme Elder is increasingly looking down on Duan Tianyi.
Duan Tianyi was indignant, "Ancestor..."
The Supreme Elder rebuked, "Do you think I didn't see what you just did?"
When Duan Tianyi was exposed on the spot for intimidating a Foundation Establishment disciple while only being a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was so humiliated that he wanted to go on a killing spree right there and then.
However, anyone present could easily kill him!
Duan Tianyi couldn't understand why the Supreme Elder dared to humiliate him like this.
He growled in resentment, "Ancestor, who is Baili Han to you? Why are you protecting him like this? Why are you humiliating your disciple for his sake?"
He is clearly the great-grandson-in-law of the Supreme Elder!
The Supreme Elder was so angry he laughed. "Did I humiliate you? Or did you start by being so weak-willed?"
"Duan Tianyi, I had no idea you had become so arrogant and narrow-minded?"
The humble and gentle boy from back then is gone.
Human hearts are unpredictable!
Duan Tianyi wanted to retort and vent his hatred, but his shoulder was pressed down by the Xuanming Sect Master.
“Grand Uncle, Tianyi has been suffering from the power of evil spirits lately, and his temperament has inevitably become a bit extreme. Please forgive his rudeness.”
The Supreme Elder closed his eyes briefly and looked indifferently at Sect Master Xuanming. "He is your personal disciple. Take him back and teach him properly. If he goes out like this, he will only bring shame to you and the Qingxiao Sect."
Sect Master Xuanming: "..."
Duan Tianyi: "..."
Sect Master Xuanming forcefully held down Duan Tianyi, who was on the verge of exploding, and looked like he was about to receive instruction.
The Supreme Elder was too lazy to watch their act and waved for them to leave.
After Sect Master Xuanming and Duan Tianyi left, their faces shrouded in shadow, Baili Han cupped his hands to the Supreme Elder and said, "Supreme Elder, I have troubled you."
The boy's aloof demeanor inexplicably revealed his sincerity.
Besides, it wasn't his fault at all.
It was all Duan Tianyi's own incompetence, greed, and stupidity.
The Supreme Elder shook his head, his tone filled with emotion, "When I first brought him to the Azure Cloud Sect, he was still a sincere young man. He felt sorry for little Ah Xin sleeping in the Sacred Lotus, and he would ask me if she was in pain and when she would wake up. He would definitely protect her in the future..."
Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, less than a century has passed, and everything has changed.
Was it because he hadn't paid enough attention to his growth over the years, or because I had never truly understood him as a person?
Baili Han lowered his eyes and remained silent.
In his eyes, Duan Tianyi was nothing more than a mediocre fool who was easily manipulated and had no self-awareness whatsoever!
He is not good enough for the young master's wife!
It's filthy!
After a few moments of silence, Baili Han suddenly told the Supreme Elder what he had seen at Tianyang Peak when the Immortal Sword was born.
The Supreme Elder's expression changed drastically in an instant. The terrifying pressure of a Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable filled the entire hall, and the space itself began to distort.
Baili Han's face was slightly pale, but he still stood upright in place, unlike Duan Tianyi who knelt down like a good-for-nothing.
Fortunately, although the Supreme Elder was angry, he had no intention of harming innocent people and quickly restrained his oppressive aura.
He slammed his hand on the table in front of him, and the heavy spirit table instantly shattered into pieces.
