Needless to say, Eldest Senior Brother's move was extremely ruthless, and it could be said to be like pulling the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron and striking the vital point!
Li Chengfeng had suffered so much and gone through so many trials and tribulations, all for the sake of becoming stronger. He wanted to stand out and be strong enough to protect his family and friends.
Under the torture of the Marrow Cleansing Pool of Universe, he was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. In this life, whenever he thought of that kind of torture, his entire body would shiver, and he didn't have the courage to experience such a terrifying ordeal again.
But now … Grand Senior Brother's move had cut off Li Chengfeng's path of improvement!
To reach the Nine Heavens, one must first climb the stairway to heaven!
If you want to go to heaven, you must have a ladder to climb!
Grand Senior Brother's move had infuriated Li Chengfeng so much that he almost lost his cool.
Tianjun quickly stood in front of Li Chengfeng and whispered, "Junior Brother Chengfeng, let's think of something else!"
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and glared at Grand Senior Brother. "What else can we do?!"
Tianjun whispered, "There's always a way out!
We'll go first, I'll talk to you later! "
Li Chengfeng glared at Grand Senior Brother and gritted his teeth. "Alright, let's go!"
Li Chengfeng huffed angrily and turned to leave. Xiaobao and Yuehan followed without hesitation. Su You glanced at Tian Jun, who nodded. Su You let out a long sigh and followed. Tian Jun patted Blockhead's shoulder, and the two of them followed.
Ouyang Nan gave his Eldest Senior Brother one last painful look and kowtowed to him twice. He choked and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, these two kowtows are my thanks for saving my life. Junior Brother … I'm leaving."
Grand Senior Brother clenched his fists tightly, trembling slightly. His face was stiff as he huffed, "Once you walk out of this door, you're no longer a disciple of Hidden Sword Court!"
Ouyang Nan slowly got up. He looked like he had aged ten years in an instant. His movements were sluggish as he staggered towards the exit. When he reached the door, Ouyang Nan turned around and whispered to Grand Senior Brother, "Grand Senior Brother … In my heart, Hidden Sword Court … is dead."
Grand Senior Brother was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He roared, "Hidden Sword Court is not dead, Hidden Sword Court will never die!
As long as I'm still here, Hidden Sword Court isn't dead!! "
Ouyang Nan shook his head and said sorrowfully, "Senior Brother Qin is right... Hidden Sword Court does not represent a single person, nor does it represent the previous Court Masters. Hidden Sword Court represents a spirit, a spirit of unyielding self-improvement, equality, friendship, chivalry and justice. As long as this spirit exists, Hidden Sword Court will never die!
But now … Eldest Senior Brother, you've endured and retreated, watching your Junior Brothers die one by one, sacrificing one by one, but you're still indifferent!
By then, Hidden Sword Court was already dead … "
Ouyang Nan said with tears in his eyes, "I haven't experienced the Hidden Sword Court's era like you, Grand Senior Brother, but … I really want to see it. I want to see the true Hidden Sword Court in my heart.
But … Eldest Senior Brother, do you know?
You just destroyed Hidden Sword Court's last hope with your own hands. You killed Hidden Sword Court with your own hands! "
After saying that, Ouyang Nan wiped his tears and turned around to leave. He looked like a lifeless old man.
Grand Senior Brother was the only one left in the hall. He stood in a daze, trembling slightly. Was he wrong?
Grand Senior Brother thought of his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the Heavenly Thirteen Swords. They seemed to be standing at the peak of the red mountain, smiling at him.
Were they laughing at him or encouraging him?
Grand Senior Brother clenched his fists so hard he almost bled. No, I can't be wrong, I must be right!
Senior Brother taught me to endure and wait. That's the only way I can rise again!
Eldest Senior Brother's gaze became firm and unwavering again. His decades of firm belief would not be shaken or destroyed by such words.
…
When they left Grand Senior Brother's residence, Li Chengfeng turned to look at Tian Jun. "You said you have a solution, what is it?"
Tian Jun thought for a moment. "There are two solutions, but I think the first one is more feasible. The second one is too dangerous."
Li Chengfeng quickly said, "Two?
Tell me, what is it?
What's the first one? "
Tian Jun stared at him, troubled. "The first solution is … Junior Brother, you can ask Grand Senior Sister, she'll definitely have a solution!"
Li Chengfeng was speechless. No wonder Tian Jun was troubled. He knew very well that the last person Li Chengfeng wanted to owe was Grand Senior Sister.
Because the more he owed now, the more he would have to pay in the future. If he owed too much, he would have to pay with his life.
Grand Senior Sister had done this before, Li Chengfeng knew it very well!
However, there was no other way, what else could he do?
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth. "Too many lice won't make me itch, too many debts won't make me worry!
Even if it's poison, this is the only way!
I'll go find Grand Senior Sister! "
Xiaobao whispered worriedly, "Will she … help?"
Li Chengfeng huffed, "She will help!"
Li Chengfeng's confident demeanor made Su You secretly envious. It's so nice to have a powerful partner, you can save yourself a few decades of hard work!
If there's any problem, she can solve it for him!
However, when Li Chengfeng arrived at Hidden Beauty Court and reported to the female cultivator guarding the door that he wanted to see Grand Senior Sister, the female cultivator no longer dared to underestimate him. She said carefully, "Grand Senior Sister hasn't been back for three days."
Li Chengfeng was stunned, then ordered, "If she comes back, please tell her that I have an urgent matter and ask her to look for me immediately."
The female cultivator looked at Li Chengfeng deeply and thought to herself, 'How dare he ask Grand Senior Sister to see him!'
Li Chengfeng could not care less about what she thought. He immediately rushed to the forbidden grounds but when he reached the square at the entrance, he saw two figures appear out of nowhere and block his way.
One was a big man, the other a small one. The small man stuttered, "S-S-Spiritual Mountain forbidden grounds … No, no, no, you can't enter."
Li Chengfeng bowed. "I'm looking for Grand Senior Sister."
When the big man heard that, the veins on his forehead twitched, the scar on his cheek stinging. "You want to go to Hidden Beauty Court? Why are you here?!"
Li Chengfeng said respectfully, "Grand Senior Sister should be forging a magical item in the forbidden grounds right now. Please let me in, I have an urgent matter to discuss with her."
The big man and the small man looked at each other, and both of them burst into laughter at the same time. They laughed so hard that they rocked back and forth, and tears almost came out of their eyes.
Li Chengfeng was confused. "Senior Brothers, why are you laughing?"
The big and small men stopped laughing at the same time, then moved to the left and right to make way. The small man grinned evilly. "Junior Brother … please, please?"
The big guy also smiled wickedly and said, "Please!"
Li Chengfeng's hairs stood on end from their laughter. He was on high alert. "Senior Brothers … do you have anything else to say?
I don't know the rules, please teach me! "
The big man huffed. "At least you know your place!
Let me tell you!
You can only enter the forbidden grounds with an entry jade token. If not, even the gods can't save you when the traps are triggered! "
Li Chengfeng suddenly remembered the jade green entry jade token in Grand Senior Sister's hand. He said bitterly, "Senior Brothers, please pass the message, I'll definitely thank you in the future!"
The small man grinned. "I-I-I … we're also … also … can't go in, no, no, we're not going in."
The big man said impatiently, "Didn't I just say that you can only enter with an entry jade token? And only the Pavilion Master or the next Pavilion Master has an entry jade token!
Do the two of us look like we have clearance jade plates? "
Li Chengfeng stood rooted to the ground like a statue!
Grand Senior Sister was in seclusion in the forbidden grounds!
