Ch 33: The Sect’s Rise Depends On You
“So, the Autumn Burial Saber was really obtained by him after killing Zhao Qianqiu?”
At this moment, Liang Sheng of the Overlord Saber Sect also shivered all over.
Originally, he had been thinking that since the people from the Grand Profound Sacred Land were here today, he shouldn’t renege on his debt. But after the people from the Grand Profound Sacred Land left, he planned to find a way to go to the Longevity Temple in a few days to snatch back his Overlord Saber. At worst, he would wear a mask. There was Li Hanzhou, who didn’t know martial arts, and a few little disciples there; they couldn’t stop him at all. Even if he killed everyone in the Longevity Temple, there would be no obstacle.
However, thinking back to his previous thoughts, Liang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he discovered Li Hanzhou’s hidden strength.
Otherwise, if he had really come, he might not even know how he died.
Zhao Qianqiu was at the Heavenly Gang Realm, a half-step transcendent existence, with extraordinary strength. Even he had fallen at the hands of Li Hanzhou. His own strength was simply not enough to fill Li Hanzhou’s teeth, right?
Zhao Wuxing didn’t waste any words at this time and obediently handed over his Wind-Calming Ancient Grass.
Nie Shengyu also didn’t say a word and gave Li Hanzhou the secret manual of the 《Mountain Shaking Palm》.
“The Grand Profound Sacred Land is a large and influential sect; they won’t renege on their debt, will they?” Li Hanzhou looked at the Grand Elder and Jiang Yixuan of the Grand Profound Sacred Land. He wasn’t worried that the Three Sects wouldn’t give him things; he was worried that the Grand Profound Sacred Land wouldn’t.
After all, the Grand Profound Sacred Land was such a large place, full of strong people. If they really didn’t want to give it, if they really wanted to renege, Li Hanzhou really wouldn’t have any way to deal with it.
“Our Grand Profound Sacred Land is naturally a place of credit.” Jiang Yixuan stood up and took out the 《Grand Profound Heart Sutra》 from his Storage Bag.
“Then thank you, Holy Lord.” Li Hanzhou’s eyes lit up.
This was a good thing.
A high-level heart method of the Grand Profound Sacred Land.
This wasn’t comparable to the Yue Shan Sect’s Mountain Shaking Palm.
Even the Sect Masters of the Three Sects coveted this kind of high-level heart method. This kind of high-level heart method could be cultivated to a very high realm, completely incomparable to their sect’s heart methods.
“Then thank you, Brother Jiang.” Li Hanzhou felt that the Grand Profound Sacred Lord was still a pretty easy-going person.
“Holy Lord, this disciple has disappointed you.” Lu Tianxing walked over and knelt directly in front of the Grand Profound Sacred Lord. At this moment, Lu Tianxing’s Dao Heart was somewhat collapsing.
He had repeatedly fallen at the hands of Liu Dongyue.
“Get up.” Jiang Yixuan didn’t make things difficult for Lu Tianxing. He knew that Liu Dongyue must have had Li Hanzhou’s help behind him, otherwise Liu Dongyue wouldn’t have such strong strength.
With such a strong person helping him, Lu Tianxing couldn’t win.
Since they had lost, the people from the Three Sects didn’t want to stay here anymore.
Li Hanzhou’s hypocritical invitation for them to stay for dinner made the Sect Masters of the Three Sects even more eager to leave.
It was almost as if he was saying, “If you dare to stay for dinner, I’ll kill you.”
It was better not to tempt fate.
The Grand Profound Sacred Land also left. The Grand Elder of the Grand Profound Sacred Land saw Shi Ming chopping wood with the Prajna Axe from afar and felt heartbroken, but he couldn’t take him away.
Finally, before leaving, Jiang Yixuan also invited Li Hanzhou to visit the Grand Profound Sacred Land when he had time.
Li Hanzhou agreed, but he also knew that this was just a polite gesture. What would he do in his Grand Profound Sacred Land if he wasn’t busy?
After everyone had left, it was already sunset.
After a busy day, Li Hanzhou also felt tired.
But today’s harvest was truly plentiful.
“Martial Uncle!”
Liu Dongyue walked up at this moment, his face full of excitement, saying, “I still can’t believe that I actually won today. It’s incredible.”
However, at this time, Li Hanzhou walked around Liu Dongyue, stroking his chin, carefully looking at him, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Martial Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?”
Liu Dongyue’s excited emotions calmed down with Li Hanzhou’s gaze. Liu Dongyue felt that Li Hanzhou was harboring some bad intentions.
“Dongyue, you performed very well today. Martial Uncle will stew braised pork for you tonight,” Li Hanzhou said with a chuckle.
“Huh?” Liu Dongyue was stunned. “Martial Uncle, I won against the Yue Shan Sect, the Zhao Family, the Overlord Saber Sect, and the Grand Profound Sacred Land, and won you the Grand Profound Heart Sutra, the Wind-Calming Ancient Grass, and other good things. You’re just going to give me a bowl of braised pork?”
“Oh, Dongyue, you also know the situation of our Longevity Temple very well. Our Longevity Temple is very poor. Now, it seems that we are about to rise. The things I won are naturally to enrich the sect. The stronger our Longevity Temple, the more disciples we can attract, and the stronger we will become as a sect, and we can live up to the Patriarch’s expectations. In the future, you, Liu Dongyue, will be famous in history. The meaning of this is more important than any reward, isn’t it?”
Listening to Li Hanzhou’s earnest words, Liu Dongyue felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t say what it was.
So he nodded woodenly.
“So, Martial Uncle is also working hard for the sect. These things weren’t won for me; they were won for the sect. Don’t you want our Longevity Temple to restore its former glory? Senior Brother is not here; now you are the highest-ranking disciple in the Longevity Temple. You can’t expect Little Shi Ming and Little Qianzhu to shoulder this responsibility, can you?” Li Hanzhou continued to coax him.
“For the rise of the sect, this disciple is willing!” Liu Dongyue said solemnly at this moment.
“Good. Since that’s the case, our Longevity Temple declares war on the world! From today onwards, we challenge disciples from various sects. Everyone can come to challenge us. Four people form a group, but they need to bring corresponding treasures. If our Longevity Temple loses, I will give them that saber.” Li Hanzhou chuckled. “But don’t worry, it’s limited to Ninth Rank disciples or those below Ninth Rank. Although your Divine Strength Pills are powerful, they only work on those below Transcendence. Martial Uncle won’t let you take risks.”
“Huh?” Liu Dongyue was dumbfounded after hearing this.
This means that you want me to fight in a martial arts competition?
“That’s settled then. Rest first. The road is long and arduous, no rush. Here, take this 《Grand Profound Heart Sutra》, practice it, and see if you can learn it.” Li Hanzhou gave the 《Grand Profound Heart Sutra》 to Liu Dongyue.
Then he turned around and left.
Leaving Liu Dongyue alone, lost in thought.
Jianghu is a place where secrets can’t be kept. Any matter will spread through Jianghu in a mysterious way.
The Zhao Family, the Overlord Saber Sect, the Yue Shan Sect, and the Grand Profound Sacred Land—the fact that disciples from the Four Sects challenged the Longevity Temple and returned in defeat immediately spread.
For a time, the name Longevity Temple appeared in everyone’s sight.
In addition, the Autumn Burial Saber also appeared in everyone’s discussions.
When the Tang Sect learned the news, Tang Jue, the Tang Sect Master, couldn’t help but be stunned. The Autumn Burial Saber was in the hands of this person called Li Hanzhou. Didn’t that mean that there was a high probability that the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus was also in this person’s hands?
The Emperor wanted to help Li Hanzhou conceal things, but Li Hanzhou actually exposed himself?
