Chapter 606 - 287: Martial Dao Ascendancy (Part 2)
"Yes!"
Several people in charge responded.
This elder was none other than Xiang Pangyun, the Peak Master of Yagu Peak.
Eradicating everyone from Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall was a decision he and Lin Tianlin made together, not just to vent Jiang Feng’s anger, but more to prevent the Blood Domain Divine Sect from learning about Jiang Feng’s strength and background in advance.
Additionally, Xiang Pangyun and Lin Tianlin also wanted to get a clearer understanding of Jiang Feng’s past from the people of Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall.
Jiang Feng, this Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, suddenly appeared in Cyan Cloud Sect, and moreover came from Central Earth—both Xiang Pangyun and Lin Tianlin found it unbelievable.
They wanted to make sure Jiang Feng was loyal to Cyan Cloud Sect, and would forever belong only to Cyan Cloud Sect.
Therefore, after slaughtering everyone in Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall, Xiang Pangyun did not hurry back to report to the sect, but instead led his people to Central Earth once more.
...
Inside Cyan Cloud Sect.
Jiang Feng sat in his cave residence, gently caressing the Dragon Bone Bow.
Cyan Cloud Sect’s eradication of Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall, apart from ensuring his safety, was also to uncover his past. Clearly, some things he did in Central Earth would soon be known by the people of Cyan Cloud Sect.
The fact that he had obtained the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron would not remain hidden either.
However, judging by Cyan Cloud Sect’s attitude, they probably wouldn’t take the Qinglong Cauldron or the Dragon Bone Bow. Though these two were Innate Magical Treasures, Jiang Feng had already realized the value of a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master far exceeded that of Innate Magical Treasures.
For instance, the Golden Dragon Armor that Lin Tianlin gifted him was itself an Innate Magical Treasure.
Even though it was not as precious as the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow, it was an excellent life-saving item.
He merely felt that his past was being thoroughly investigated by Cyan Cloud Sect; if anything should go wrong, perhaps something unfavorable could happen to him.
But right now, he could only wait and see how things developed.
He could only wait for Xiang Pangyun and the others to return.
Ten days later.
"Brother Jiang, see what I’ve brought you?"
Changyun came to knock on his door.
"Master Changyun has come in person, so it must be good news."
Jiang Feng came out to welcome him.
When the two addressed each other in private, each used their own accustomed title.
But Jiang Feng had never changed his way.
Wherever he went, he always called Changyun his Master Changyun.
He wanted to avoid anyone discovering a flaw.
He even asked Changyun not to call him Brother Jiang, but to call him disciple whenever possible.
For this, Changyun tried calling Jiang Feng "disciple" a few times when they were alone, but each time, the thought of Jiang Feng as a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master made his skin crawl, so when no one was around, he just called Jiang Feng "Brother Jiang."
"Look!"
He entered Jiang Feng’s cave residence.
With a wave of his hand, Changyun produced a ring before Jiang Feng.
"This is the Saintess’s ring. Master Xiang especially asked me to give it to you."
Changyun said.
"Oh."
Jiang Feng picked up the ring. The Restriction Array on it had already been removed, and as his Spiritual Sense entered, he saw what was inside: aside from the Saintess’s intimate garments and some Spiritual Treasures, there were also a few books.
Two of the books instantly caught Jiang Feng’s eye.
"Middle Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual!"
"Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual!"
Jiang Feng’s face was filled with excitement.
Upon entering Cyan Cloud Sect, he did search for Martial Arts Techniques to cultivate, but once found, he hesitated, feeling it was necessary to perfect all three parts—upper, middle, and lower—of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual before cultivating other Martial Arts Techniques.
He believed that if he perfected the Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual, he would possess the power of a Divine Realm Peak expert.
If he could obtain the latter two parts of the technique,
And cultivate them all to perfection, his Martial Arts Realm strength might rival that of a Golden Core Powerhouse.
Moreover, his cultivation strength was not weak, so he wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate the sect’s Martial Arts Techniques. He didn’t expect to find the middle and lower parts of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual in the Saintess’s ring.
He wondered if this was a coincidence, or if Xiang Pangyun had specially sought them out for him?
"Master Xiang said that whether they’re Blood Domain disciples, people from Dragon and Snake Island, or those who remained in Central Earth—all personnel from Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall have been dealt with. You no longer need to worry about them threatening you."
Changyun said.
"Please thank Master Xiang and the Sect Leader for me. As long as Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall was not destroyed, I could not sleep or eat in peace. Now I can finally get a good night’s sleep."
Jiang Feng said gratefully.
In fact, a few days ago, he already knew Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall had been wiped out.
Because his Fortune Points had suddenly increased by over twenty million just a few days ago.
This meant he had just avoided another great crisis.
"The Sect Leader has said that your life and safety concern the future of Cyan Cloud Sect. Whoever dares harm you, no matter who they are, the sect will remove them for you."
Changyun said seriously.
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Jiang Feng once again expressed his gratitude.
He understood that Lin Tianlin’s actions were indeed to ensure his safety on one hand, but on the other, also to bind him firmly to Cyan Cloud Sect.
To prevent him from betraying the sect and joining another sect.
For example, defecting to Blood Domain Divine Sect.
Although there were ulterior motives,
Jiang Feng had to admit he agreed with the Cyan Cloud Sect’s approach, and was willing to share their fate.
Because he no longer had any other choice.
Changyun then took out a Treasure Bead.
A Treasure Bead capable of recording images.
The images within the bead showed Cyan Cloud Sect’s raid on Dragon and Snake Island and the extermination of Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall’s disciples, including the brutal deaths of the Saintess and Lü Su.
Though Jiang Feng found it cruel, he nonetheless felt considerably relieved and also deeply fearful of Cyan Cloud Sect’s strength.
Xiang Pangyun and the others had yet to return.
They had only sent back the Saintess’s personal ring first, along with the images of Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall’s disciples being eliminated, to make sure Jiang Feng would believe it was true.
Jiang Feng could completely imagine that Xiang Pangyun should have entered Central Earth to investigate everything about his past.
