Chapter 58: Determined
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Heavenly Path Sect rose after that battle. They rose so fast that people thought they had seized an undisturbed period.
However, no one knew that there was a mastermind behind them. Otherwise, with the Heavenly Path Sect’s situation back then, they wouldn’t have risen so easily, even if the other sects were caught off guard.
“The 99 mountains are 99 formations that have suppressed the breach of the Boiling Water Prison. The Heavenly Path Sect is actually guarding the 99 mountains.”
“Everything is connected perfectly. The mastermind has a well-planned scheme.”
“He had planned everything out, but unfortunately, the Sword God of the Old
Millennium Calendar appeared.”
Li Qingshan retracted his gaze and looked at the hundreds of steles before him.
He did not continue to comprehend them.
“The owners of these hundreds of steles must be prisoners who had escaped the Boiling Water Prison back then. That’s why the same picture was shown on the steles.”
“Perhaps the owners of these steles were killed and suppressed by the experts of Yuhua Sect back then. Then, they were turned into steles and later picked up by the people of Yuhua Sect. They were then suppressed here until now.” Li Qingshan immediately guessed the origin of those steles.
Yuhua Sect might be very weak now. Even after releasing the Great Path and Spiritual Qi, Yuhua Sect only had three Saints.
However, 3,000 years ago, it was also a ruthless sect that killed its way from Southern Heavenly Gate to Penglai West Road with a watermelon knife. After knowing the secret from 3,000 years ago, Li Qingshan’s thoughts were a little messy. He turned around and returned to the bamboo hut. He wanted to be alone and think about it.
What should he do next?
However, he did not expect to see Little Nine and Little Fox playing together when he returned to the bamboo hut.
After ten years, Little Fox had become familiar with Little Nine and A’wei, who often came over. It was also willing to open up to and play with them.
Besides Li Qingshan, it had two more friends.
“Brother, you’re back.” Little Nine greeted Li Qingshan happily when she saw him.
Little Fox also looked at Li Qingshan happily. When Li Qingshan sat down, it curled up in his arms.
“How do you have the time to come to my place with Yuhua Sect being so busy?” Li Qingshan asked calmly as he suppressed the frustration in his heart.
Little Nine sighed and said, “If you want to talk about being busy, it has always been busy. The world now is completely different from the world a month ago. But no matter how busy I am, I must make time to see Brother.”
“Have you been under a lot of pressure recently?” Li Qingshan asked when he saw the troubled look on Little Nine.
“Brother, we only have four Saints in Yuhua Sect, but the Heavenly Path Sect has revealed at least 40 Saints.” Little Nine said with a bitter smile.
The four Saints of Yuhua Sect had even already included A’wei.
However, strictly speaking, A’wei was a member of the Changhen Demonic
Sect.
“Had the Heavenly Path Sect put more pressure on you guys?” Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. It was the Heavenly Path Sect again.
“It’s true that the pressure has increased a little. It’s still acceptable for now, but those 40 Saints are terrifying.” Little Nine was under a lot of pressure.
She cultivated the Immortality Method and fought against two, three, and even ten on her own.
But she couldn’t fight twenty or forty people alone.
She was the only trump card of Yuhua Sect.
“Do you want to destroy the Heavenly Path Sect?” Li Qingshan looked at Little Nine and asked suddenly.
Little Nine was stunned. She looked at Li Qingshan and blinked. She didn’t expect Brother to be so aggressive. That was something she didn’t even dare to think about.
Little Nine fell into a daze.
The Heavenly Path Sect.
At the center of the 99 formations was a valley filled with birds and flowers. It was a good place to live in seclusion.
Bai Yulan had been resting there ever since he recovered.
After some time, he finally recovered to his peak and returned to his youthful state.
“Congratulations, Patriarch. You’ve returned to your peak and can continue to lead the Heavenly Path Sect to prosperity.” Hei Shuitian shouted from outside the door.
Bai Yulan opened the door and looked at the courtyards and pavilions in the valley. There were carved dragons and phoenixes in the corridor, and the small lake in the distance was sparkling. The scenery was as beautiful as a painting.
Hei Shuitian stood in front of the door, his attitude respectful.
During that period, he came daily to tell the Patriarch about the situation outside.
Bai Yulan said, “You’ll still be the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Path Sect. You’ll lead the sect.”
Hei Shuitian said, “Patriarch, I’m not a Saint yet. I can’t take on such a great responsibility.”
“I want to retire and focus on cultivation so that I can break through as soon as possible.” Hei Shuitian said sincerely.
“Wait another ten years. Choose a successor and retire then.” Bai Yulan said.
“Patriarch, where is the Boiling Water Prison?” Hei Shuitian asked.
“The Boiling Water Prison is right under your feet, in the middle of these 99 mountains.” Bai Yulan said in a low voice.
“Patriarch, are you saying there is a prison under the Heavenly Path Sect?” Hei Shuitian was shocked. He had never heard of such a thing.
“Don’t worry. A peerless expert had set up a formation to suppress the Boiling Water Prison. As long as the Heavenly Path Sect doesn’t fall, the Boiling Water Prison won’t appear.” Bai Yulan said calmly.
“That’s good. In that case, I’ll destroy Yuhua Sect since they keep provoking us.” Hei Shuitian gritted his teeth.
“There are only those few weaklings in Yuhua Sect. Why go to the extent of destroying them with great fanfare?” Bai Yulan shook his head.
“Patriarch, do you mean we don’t need to destroy Yuhua Sect?” Hei Shuitian looked at Bai Yulan in surprise. He had told the Patriarch about the feud between Yuhua Sect and Heavenly Path Sect.
“Yuhua Sect is a very good whetstone. It’s easy to destroy it, but finding such a good whetstone again won’t be easy.”
“Also, don’t kill others for no reason. This will cause the disciples of the sect to become arrogant. That is the path to death. Leave Yuhua Sect and let it serve as a warning bell. Warning them occasionally will be more useful than killing them.” Bai Yulan said coldly.
“Good idea. Destroying Yuhua Sect too easily is indeed too good a deal for them. We’ll use them as whetstones and torture them repeatedly. We’ll make them feel so much pain that they want to die. Only then will we be able to see a trace of hope and take revenge for what happened back then.” Hei Shuitian looked at Bai Yulan with admiration. As expected, the experienced is still the best.
“Yuhua Sect from 3,000 years ago was indeed amazing. But the Yuhua Sect now is just trash and not worth mentioning.” Bai Yulan said disdainfully. He did not take Yuhua Sect seriously at all.
And the Yuhua Sect Leader, Little Nine, who they did not take seriously, was in a dilemma.
“Brother, I know you’re very powerful, but there are at least 40 Saints and countless experts in the Heavenly Path Sect. They’re not to be trifled with, let alone destroyed.” Little Nine reminded Li Qingshan.
“They are only titles with no real capabilities. They can be destroyed with a flip of my palm.” Li Qingshan said casually.
Little Nine swallowed her saliva and looked at Li Qingshan, her eyes beaming.
She had never seen Li Qingshan boast.
If Brother said it was possible, then it would definitely be possible.
“Brother, are you really going to destroy the Heavenly Path Sect?” Little Nine asked excitedly.
“Send a letter to the Heavenly Path Sect. Tell them to give up their territory and leave within three days. Otherwise, the Heavenly Path Sect will cease to exist!”
Li Qingshan thought momentarily and decided to destroy the Heavenly Path Sect.
He would only be at ease if the breach in the Boiling Water Prison was under his control..
