To have crippled a Xiantian Golden Core master and still expect me to grant face? Even the Blind Sword Saint, despite his mastery of Chi cultivation, felt a surge of anger!
From the back, the Island Master of Qinghu Island, 'Tie Pan,' listened to Teng Qingshan's words, his face turning purple with rage: "This person named Jing Yi is utterly presumptuous! He destroyed Elder Zhao and now comes to Qinghu Island to flaunt his power.
He even tells us to teach our disciples properly... Utterly presumptuous, utterly presumptuous!" If the 'Jing Yi' before him were not a Void Realm expert, Tie Pan would have already given the order to execute Teng Qingshan.
"Tie Fan," the voice of the Blind Sword Saint reached the ears of the Island Master of Qinghu Island, 'Tie Fan.' Tie Fan started in surprise, realizing it was a telepathic message from his Ancestral Master. "Hold back!
I have never heard of this Jing Yi before. He must be some secluded hermit who has reached the Void Realm!
These people are the ones you must never provoke," the Blind Sword Saint transmitted his warning. "These people are old; their families are long gone.
They have nothing to lose! Their temperaments are the strangest, and if you cross them, you'll be tearing the sky apart!" "We will endure it today and let this matter pass." "If we don't endure it and confront him head-on, the trouble will be immense," the Blind Sword Saint instructed Tie Fan telepathically.
Across the entire Nine Provinces, the most terrifying figures were not peerless experts like the Blind Sword Saint, but rather independent experts who had attained the Void Realm. The Blind Sword Saint, though enraged upon seeing this expert calling himself 'Jing Yi,' felt a severe headache coming on.
"Tie Fan," the Blind Sword Saint spoke aloud. "Ancestral Master," the Island Master of Qinghu Island, 'Tie Fan,' replied respectfully.
"Go and move Dan Chen to the side." The Blind Sword Saint commanded. "Yes, Ancestral Master." Tie Fan suppressed his anger and walked to Zhao Dan Chen's side, helping him up.
With a series of 'crack, crack' sounds, Tie Fan reset the dislocated joints on Zhao Dan Chen, allowing him to stand again. Zhao Dan Chen shot Teng Qingshan a hateful glance but dared not utter a sound.
Tie Fan and Zhao Dan Chen stood beside the Dragon-Locking Pavilion. The Blind Sword Saint, with his eyes closed, addressed the direction where Teng Qingshan was, stating indifferently, "Jing Yi, our disciples on Qinghu Island, we will manage them properly.
This time, I will trouble you to personally see yourself out... I need to continue my enlightenment and cultivation, so I will not be seeing you off." "This Blind Sword Saint really knows how to endure," Teng Qingshan rubbed his nose, musing to himself.
Suddenly, a thought struck Teng Qingshan— "Hmm, there are quite a few people outside." * Indeed, a large number of Qinghu Island disciples had gathered outside the courtyard of the Dragon-Locking Pavilion. Even many Elders and Protectors had rushed over.
"What? Someone grabbed Elder Zhao and went inside?" "I didn't see him go in, but judging by the direction the white-robed man was headed, he must be inside." "Elder, what should we do?" It wasn't surprising that Teng Qingshan could easily hear the various noises outside...
The disciples of Qinghu Island were tense after all... An imposing expert capable of easily subduing 'Zhao Dan Chen' had forced his way into the Island Master's residence.
How could they not worry? One must remember that Zhao Dan Chen was slightly stronger than the Island Master, 'Tie Fan.' If their majestic Island Master were killed, it would truly become a laughingstock throughout the world.
... Inside the Dragon-Locking Pavilion.
"Island Master, the Elders request an audience," a guarding disciple called out respectfully from a distance. Tie Fan frowned upon hearing this and was about to dismiss them.
The Blind Sword Saint was about to angrily drive them away too, but just then, Teng Qingshan spoke with a faint smile: "Tie Wu, why are you in such a hurry to see me leave?" "What is this man doing?" Tie Fan felt his anger escalating. The face of the Blind Sword Saint, usually like carved stone, seemed to darken suddenly.
He said in a deep voice, "Jing Yi, is there something else?" "I only came today to drop off this Zhao Dan Chen along the way... The most important matter today is to take one person away from your Qinghu Island," Teng Qingshan chuckled.
"This person is named 'Zhao Fu,' one of your core disciples on Qinghu Island. Hand this person over to me, and I will leave immediately!" Boom!
The Blind Sword Saint’s closed eyes snapped wide open, revealing his ashen-gray pupils, yet within those pupils, a faint, sharp black glint flickered, causing a shiver in Teng Qingshan. "Jing Yi, don't you think you've gone too far?" the Blind Sword Saint asked in a low voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Too far?" Teng Qingshan stared at the blind man in black. "Tie Wu, I must take this Zhao Fu today!" Tie Fan beside him couldn't help but interject, "Senior Jing Yi, you..." "Shut up," Teng Qingshan snapped, glancing at him.
"When Tie Wu and I are speaking, it is not your place to butt in!" Tie Fan's face flushed deep red, but he could only endure it. A conversation between Void Realm experts...
He, a Xiantian Golden Core, truly had no right to interrupt. "Jing Yi," the Blind Sword Saint’s voice boomed like thunder, brimming with rage.
"This is Qinghu Island! If this disciple named 'Zhao Fu' has offended you, we on Qinghu Island must investigate thoroughly.
If that is the case, we can hand him over for your punishment. However...
for you to insist on forcibly taking away a disciple of Qinghu Island, are you not showing us utter disregard?!" This wasn't about losing a few disciples; this was about dignity! About face!
If Qinghu Island handed over a core disciple based on one sentence from Teng Qingshan, where would their reputation go? "This Zhao Fu has a grudge with my disciple," Teng Qingshan stated coldly.
"A grudge? What grudge?
Tell me... I will order Qinghu Island to investigate thoroughly, and we will have a clear answer within three days.
At that time, if it is as you say, Zhao Fu will naturally be yours to deal with. If it is not, we on Qinghu Island will not simply hand over a core disciple based on a few of your words," the Blind Sword Saint's voice was ice-cold, clearly suppressing his fury.
Having lived for over four hundred years, especially after achieving the Great Completion of the Void Realm, when had he ever been bullied like this? However...
Qinghu Island currently faced an external threat from the 'Heavenly God Palace' and internal dissent from the 'Guiyuan Sect,' compounded by the fact that Qinghu Island itself lacked a disciple capable of reaching the Void Realm to take over his mantle. Therefore—the Blind Sword Saint had no choice but to swallow his anger when facing Teng Qingshan.
"Tie Wu!" Teng Qingshan roared, "You investigate? Do you think I, Jing Yi, would lie just to take away one of your Qinghu Island disciples?" "Tie Wu," Teng Qingshan's voice turned frigid.
"I'll say it plainly: this Zhao Fu indeed has a great enmity with my disciple... I, Jing Yi, always keep my word!
I wouldn't stoop to lying just for one of your Qinghu Island disciples! I am giving you, Tie Wu, face by not causing a massive disturbance here.
You had better hand over Zhao Fu quickly, and this matter ends here. Otherwise..." "Hmph." Teng Qingshan let out a cold snort, which caused the Island Master 'Tie Fan' and Zhao Dan Chen inside the Dragon-Locking Pavilion to glare as if their eyes were spewing fire.
"Hmph!" A cold snort that seemed to shake the earth echoed. The large crowd of Qinghu Island disciples gathered outside the courtyard could not hear the sounds inside because the Void Realm expert had solidified the space around the Dragon-Locking Pavilion.
However, they all felt the ground beneath their feet tremble. Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ The Blind Sword Saint's silvery-white hair, like snow, billowed around him; each strand seemed like a sharp sword.
Within his dim, ashen eyes, sharp black glints flickered subtly, and the surrounding space began to subtly distort. Streaks of black lightning could be seen flashing around him.
The Blind Sword Saint roared in a low voice, "Jing Yi, this is Qinghu Island! This is not a place for you to act wildly!" "I, Tie Wu, have roamed the Nine Provinces, and no one dares to be this arrogant in front of me!" The Blind Sword Saint gripped the thin iron rod in his hand.
"Leave Qinghu Island immediately, and I will pretend today never happened! If you dare to cause trouble here again...
Hmph, this wretched blind man will spare no cost, even if I have to chase you across the entire Nine Provinces, I will certainly take your life!" The Blind Sword Saint had finally erupted! This proud, conceited, Void Realm Great Completion Sword Saint had finally exploded in fury.
"Hahahaha... You want to kill me?" Teng Qingshan laughed wildly in his rage.
"Wretched blind man, I called you Tie Wu, and you really thought I was afraid of you! Wretched blind man, you are powerful, but I, Jing Yi, do not fear you." "Good, good, you want to kill me, fine!" Teng Qingshan laughed loudly, "Let's see who kills whom first—you, or I wipe out everyone on Qinghu Island!" A burst of wild laughter echoed.
"Boom!" Teng Qingshan's body suddenly exploded into a flash of firelight, vanishing from sight. "Clang!" A sword was drawn.
"Insolence!" The Blind Sword Saint roared in fury. The thin iron rod in his hand transformed into a streak of black light, piercing towards Teng Qingshan with astonishing speed.
Unfortunately... Teng Qingshan had no intention of engaging the Blind Sword Saint head-on.
He had already dodged away, and simultaneously, Teng Qingshan swung his sword violently in all directions. "Swish!" A crescent-shaped golden flame sword aura, like a semicircular light blade flashing like lightning, flew toward a distant wall.
In a mere instant, the distant wall was cleanly sliced in half from top to bottom. No matter how fast the Blind Sword Saint moved, he couldn't catch up to the sword aura!
The moment the wall was split, the disciples outside the wall were also cut! "Ah!" "Ah!
Get back!" Piercing screams erupted from outside the courtyard, and blood splattered. With just one sword strike, dozens of people outside died instantly, more than ten were severely injured and crippled, including two Xiantian masters.
"Kill! Let's see who dies first, hahaha, kill!
Kill!!!" Teng Qingshan's wild laughter echoed throughout Qinghu Island. Hundreds of thousands of disciples and numerous elite soldiers on the island looked up at the sky in confusion.
Teng Qingshan had already transformed into a rainbow light and was speeding away towards the distant area where the Elders of Qinghu Island were gathered. "No—" Island Master 'Tie Fan' was stunned.
"Not good," Zhao Dan Chen was also terrified. The Blind Sword Saint was so enraged he didn't know what to do.
So what if he was at the Great Completion of the Void Realm? His combat power was formidable, but his escape speed was nearly comparable to those who had achieved 'Fusion with Heaven and Earth.' The opponent refused to fight him directly but kept fleeing, simultaneously slaughtering Qinghu Island's elite disciples!
"This Jing Yi..." A trace of blood leaked from the corner of the Blind Sword Saint's mouth. He was furious!
He hadn't expected the opponent to disregard his threat and proceed with such wanton slaughter. "Hahahaha...
I, Jing Yi, have lived for over three hundred years, and I've lived enough. Hahahaha, to have Qinghu Island accompany me to the grave—how exhilarating, how exhilarating!" The sound of frantic laughter echoed over Qinghu Island.
The Blind Sword Saint's face instantly turned deathly pale. Among Void Realm experts, some live too long and their families die off; some Void Realm experts have no attachment to the mortal world and simply do not fear death.
Dealing with such people is terrifying. "Stop!" The Blind Sword Saint's hair flew wildly in his anger, and he transmitted telepathically, "Jing Yi, that Zhao Fu, I'll hand him over, I'll hand him over!" The proud Blind Sword Saint had to bow his noble head!
