Chapter 79
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Compared to others who looked confused and out of it, Jiang Yichang’s expression became more vivid once he found out who Li Fenglan was.
Li Fenglan was Li Fuyue.
Li Fuyue was the number one cultivator in the world of cultivation. Even his master, Qiu Wanyou, was not his match.
In his previous life, although Jiang Yichang was not very familiar with Li Fuyue, as peers, they naturally knew each other to some extent. According to Jiang Yichang’s understanding of him, although Li Fuyue appeared to have a good temperament, he was actually a proud person.
So Jiang Yichang couldn’t figure out who Li Fenglan would willingly accept as his master in this life, and who could teach him.
Except…
Except for that person.
The owner of Xieguang Tower.
In just a few moments, Jiang Yichang’s expression changed several times.
Doubt, suspicion, shock, and a forced calm.
After ruling out all the impossibilities, the remaining answer was that the only person in the world who could be Li Fenglan’s master was Xieguang Tower’s former owner, Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor.
But hadn’t Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor ascended to the upper realm many years ago? Even if he returned to the lower realm, he should have been revered by everyone like Qiu Wanyou, so how could he have hidden his identity and become an ordinary “Ling Buyan” on Miguang Mountain in Tianmian Palace?
Jiang Yichang’s mind was in chaos.
And now that he had figured out Li Fenglan’s identity, and almost deduced who Ling Buyan was, Jiang Yichang was even more so than others.
Many of the people who came to the main peak of Tianmian Palace today had never been to Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm before, and they did not know about Mo Shenyu’s peculiarities, so they were not very afraid of him.
Therefore, when they heard Mo Shenyu say that Xieguang Tower was Ling Buyan’s territory, someone sneered and said, “Xieguang Tower is his territory? Ha, then I might as well say that Tianmian Palace is mine…”
“Playing tricks with the gods!” The disciple of that person also echoed.
The speaker, like Ling Buyan, was an “Immortal Lord” of Tianmian Palace. He had always thought that Ling Buyan was similar to himself, but now he saw Ling Buyan suddenly becoming a big figure in Tianmian Palace and even in the entire cultivation world. Compared to him, he naturally felt very unbalanced in his heart. So in a hurry, he blurted out this sentence in public.
As soon as the person finished speaking, Jiang Yichang suddenly looked over at him, accurately speaking, he gave him a fierce glare.
“Shut up!”
“Yes… yes, Sect Master.” The person was startled by Jiang Yichang’s scolding. Seeing the Sect Master’s expression, the other cultivators also immediately quieted down.
Although Jiang Yichang looked a bit serious, he rarely got angry in public, let alone directly telling someone to shut up.
In an instant, the outside of Xieguang Tower became quiet again.
Ling Buyan naturally heard the words of the person just now, but his expression did not change at all. It was Mo Shenyu who was standing not far away who suddenly laughed.
“Hahaha, it turns out that my ‘good senior brother’ has never told anyone who he is.”
At this moment, although Jiang Yichang had guessed the answer, he still couldn’t let it go and suddenly asked, “Who… is he?”
Of course, Mo Shenyu did not directly answer Jiang Yichang’s question. Just at this moment, he suddenly raised his hand and called out a golden sword made of condensed light in the void. The next moment, this sword stabbed towards Ling Buyan under the horrified gaze of everyone.
What… is this?
No one had ever seen Mo Shenyu’s move before.
Even though he clearly looked like a sinister person, there was no trace of evil aura on Mo Shenyu’s body or in the spiritual energy inside the sword he held.
This was impossible.
After seeing Mo Shenyu’s movements, Li Fenglan subconsciously wanted to block with his sword. But before he could even grasp Finished Karma and thrust it towards Mo Shenyu, the spiritual energy overflowing from the strange golden sword in Mo Shenyu’s hand violently forced Li Fenglan back several steps.
How is this possible?!
Li Fenglan’s cultivation had almost fully recovered by now, but Mo Shenyu had still managed to block his attack.
Once Li Fenglan had steadied himself, he saw that Mo Shenyu’s sword had fiercely collided with Split Karma.
In an instant, a huge black sword shadow, as large as Xieguang Tower, appeared above everyone’s heads. At the same time, the air was suddenly filled with ink-colored lotus flowers.
What’s going on?
Those outside Xieguang Tower felt like they had entered an ocean of ink lotus flowers.
In that moment, the surging and cold spiritual energy enveloped them. It was not until the giant sword shadow slowly disappeared from above that everyone gradually regained their senses…and Li Fenglan’s white Finished Karma, held in his arms, also trembled slightly.
It sensed a familiar aura and was very excited now.
Shadow Sword, Ink Lotus.
Prior to this, no one had ever seen what Ling Buyan looked like when he drew his sword. Even those who knew him only vaguely remembered that Ling Buyan’s spiritual sword seemed to be a black long sword.
It wasn’t until today, when they witnessed Ling Buyan draw his sword, that the scene in front of them finally matched the description in the ancient texts.
The innate divine sword, Split Karma.
But Split Karma belonged to Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor, how could it have fallen into the hands of such a cultivator?
They had a vague answer in their hearts, but everyone instinctively avoided facing it.
Until Mo Shenyu spoke up.
His strike was blocked by Ling Buyan and he also suffered a great backlash.
Mo Shenyu took several steps back and wiped the blood from his lips, gritting his teeth as he said, “Split Karma is here too.”
Split Karma, unexpectedly, is also here.
Is this really the legendary sword, Split Karma?
Li Fenglan didn’t know what Mo Shenyu was up to, but the gemstones on his purple robe were emitting an eerie light in the night sky, as if devouring all the light in the sky.
Ling Buyan didn’t speak, and his usual smile slowly faded from his face.
He glanced at Mo Shenyu and put Split Karma back into its scabbard.
At this moment, Mo Shenyu sneered and spoke again, “I’ve been feeling like I’ve been watched for years, and many of my plans have been secretly sabotaged. Now I realize that it wasn’t just my imagination, you were behind all of it!”
Ling Buyan looked at Mo Shenyu but didn’t respond.
And at this moment, Li Fenglan felt like he understood what Mo Shenyu was talking about, similar to how he had figured out the incident with the influx of beast tide and the absorption of the beast’s spiritual energy.
Mo Shenyu had planned similar things before, but he had never succeeded because Ling Buyan had been watching him all along and would secretly ruin his plans whenever he saw any sign of them.
Unlike Li Fenglan, who had guessed part of the answer, everyone else was completely confused by what they were hearing.
Until Mo Shenyu burst out laughing and uttered those words –
“Am I right? Xuanchu.”
…Xuanchu?
Xuanchu??
Xuanchu!
Apart from Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor, who else in this world was called Xuanchu?
At this moment, everyone outside Xieguang Tower looked at Ling Buyan in shock.
Ling Buyan was the Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor?
How could he be?
Just like Li Fenglan’s feelings back then, in the hearts of most people here, Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor was a person who only existed in legends. Even some of them had thought of achieving ascension, but they had never thought that they would one day meet that legendary Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor.
They didn’t know what they were feeling right now.
Finished Karma in Li Fenglan’s arms suddenly became excited after hearing Mo Shenyu say “Xuanchu.”
Li Fenglan gently patted it and whispered, “Yes, the one just now was Split Karma. I’ll take you to find it later.” After hearing these words from its owner, Finished Karma quieted down.
Overall, Li Fenglan had already guessed Ling Buyan’s identity before. So when he heard Mo Shenyu say “Xuanchu” to Ling Buyan today, he didn’t feel anything special.
But it was different for everyone else. They stared at Ling Buyan in a daze, unable to say a word.
Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Buyan took two steps towards Li Fenglan, then suddenly smiled and answered Mo Shenyu’s question.
“That’s right.”
Ling Buyan admitted that he was Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor!
The worldview of the cultivators present seemed to have been overturned.
“I never thought I would see you here…” Mo Shenyu squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Ling Buyan nodded casually and said, “In your heart, I should have died in endless purgatory a long time ago.”
When Ling Buyan spoke of “endless purgatory” so easily, Li Fenglan’s heart suddenly sank.
Beside him, Cheng Huang suddenly exclaimed, then repeated the words “endless purgatory” softly. It felt familiar to him.
At that moment, Mo Shenyu suddenly fell silent, and Ling Buyan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke under the shocked and adoring gazes of the cultivators, “In this life, since you entered Tianmian Palace, it was arranged by me. I have given you many opportunities, but you still chose the path of evil.” He smiled.
It turned out that Mo Shenyu’s entry into Tianmian Palace, and even joining Miguang Mountain, were all arranged by Ling Buyan.
He had been monitoring Mo Shenyu all along.
“Give me opportunities?” Mo Shenyu suddenly sneered, and shouted, “Xuanchu, what opportunities have you given me? I only wanted to be an ordinary person, but you! Everything in this world, you opposed me!”
Mo Shenyu’s words were heart-wrenching. Just as his voice fell, golden lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the sky.
“What is this…” Li Fenglan had never seen anything like it.
Meanwhile, golden tribulations had begun to descend not far away.
There were thousands of them, dense and numerous.
Ling Buyan took out Split Karma again and squinted his eyes, saying, “Oh? Want to be an ordinary person? If that was really what you wanted, you would have died a hundred years ago.”
As soon as Ling Buyan’s voice fell, a golden heavenly thunder fell from the sky, instantly turning the huge Xieguang Tower into powder.
