Chapter 877: So Be It If I Don’t Return!

Snowflakes rustled at Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak.

The Ninth Peak was as desolate and dilapidated as ever. It did not seem to have any presence when placed before the eight peaks of Sword Sect.

Ever since the previous peak master passed away in meditation, the number of talents in the Ninth Peak had dwindled, and they were constantly suppressed by the other eight peaks. Every time the sect recruited disciples, the talented disciples would be split among the eight peaks.

The people assigned to the Ninth Peak were all people with mediocre potential.

When these people with mediocre talent were out, they ranked lower than the disciples of the eight peaks and were often bullied.

As time passed, even these people with mediocre talent could not take it anymore and left the mountain on their own.

The people from the Ninth Peak originally thought that after Ye Wushuang appeared, the sect would change its attitude towards the Ninth Peak. Unexpectedly, it became worse.

If not for Elder Qing Xuan’s constant teachings, some people from the Ninth Peak would have already questioned the sect.

The Ninth Peak became even more deserted after it started snowing. Even the immortal crane that originally belonged to the Ninth Peak left to the First Peak, as the First Peak had a Cold-warding Formation.

Elder Qing Xuan was still meditating on the cold spring that was only a meter wide. Even the commotion in Sword Sect could not shake him.

At that moment, a young man in white had appeared before him.

The young man allowed the snowflakes to land on his body. His cold eyes slowly landed on Elder Qing Xuan. He only looked at him and said nothing.

Elder Qing Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him calmly. After a while, he said slowly, “Do you know why you are going?”

“To kill!” The teenager in white was a man of few words.

Elder Qing Xuan was still extremely calm, “What if you don’t return?”

“So be it!” The youth said.

Elder Qing Xuan said, “Then go!”

The teenager in white did not say anything else. He turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, he slowly turned around and knelt on one knee before the figure on the cold spring.

He left after bowing!

After he left, Elder Qing Xuan opened his eyes again. He looked up at the sky and asked himself, “Senior Brother, does the Ninth Peak still have a future?”

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

It immediately turned into ice.

…

Outside the Ninth Peak, there were eight figures standing there silently.

Before Ye Wushuang entered the Ninth Peak, they were all disciples on the huge Ninth Peak.

There were a total of eight of them. From the Eldest Senior Brother Gu Quan, they were ranked according to seniority, all the way to the Youngest Junior Sister Hua Ling.

After Ye Wushuang joined, he was ranked ninth and became the Youngest Junior Brother.

However, none of the eight senior brothers and sisters bullied him. They treated him like their own younger brother.

They had witnessed Wushuang entering the sect as a junior brother, and they had also witnessed the rise of the quiet junior brother.

And now, they would witness their junior brother’s death?

Hua Ling, the Youngest Junior Sister in everyone’s eyes, covered her red lips and cried non-stop. Her eyes were red and tears streamed down her face.

“Eldest Senior Brother, can you not… let Youngest Junior Brother fulfill the contract?” Hua Ling wiped her tears and looked helplessly at Eldest Senior Brother Gu Quan.

With her crying, some of them could not hold back their tears anymore.

Fifth Junior Brother clenched his fists and choked, “I should go instead. I’m useless anyway.”

He had been framed by the people from the First Peak in his early years and had lost a leg, becoming a cripple in the eyes of the crowd.

“That’s right. Youngest Junior Brother is the future of Ninth Peak. If anything happens to him…” Fourth Junior Brother hugged the pot of wine, and the smell of alcohol filled the air.

“Shut up!”

Eldest Senior Brother Gu Quan scolded with a stern face, and his eyes were slightly red, “This is Youngest Junior Brother’s decision, we can’t change it…”

“Why not? Won’t we stop junior brother as long as we knock him out and tie him up?” Hua Ling said tearfully.

Gu Quan said, “Can you beat Youngest Junior Brother?”

Hua Ling immediately fell silent.

Gu Quan forced a smile and mocked himself, “If we could defeat Youngest Junior Brother, would we still have to wait until now? If I was his opponent, I would be the one fighting today!”

Just as he was saying that, a person in white robe came gently.

“Youngest Junior Brother!”

The eight of them immediately shouted, their expressions extremely complicated.

The teenager in white stopped in his tracks. His cold gaze swept across the eight of them one by one. There was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

“Take good care of Elder Qing Xuan!”

The young man was about to leave.

“Wait…”

At that moment, Hua Ling suddenly stopped him and took out a sword case, “Junior Brother, this is your sword. Take it!”

Gu Quan walked over and opened the sword case.

After seeing the longsword, his expression suddenly changed. He could not help but glare at her fiercely, “When did you…”

He clearly remembered that the Elder Qing Xuan had kept the sword after they brought it back and did not allow them to give it to their junior brother.

But now, Hua Ling stole it.

Just as Hua Ling was about to speak, the longsword in the sword case automatically flew into the youth’s hand.

The young man raised his eyes and looked at Hua Ling in confusion, “Why is this sword with you?”

“We…” Hua Ling subconsciously wanted to tell him about Gu Quan and their trip to Border Dragon City.

However, he was interrupted by Gu Quan’s cough, “Youngest Junior Brother, E-Elder Qing Xuan gave us the money to redeem it for you.”

He then glared at Hua Ling and said with an odd expression, “Youngest Junior Brother, give me your sword. Use my sword instead…”

“No need!”

The white-robed youth shook his head slightly. The sword in his hand transformed into a sword gleam that shot out from the Ninth Peak, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

“Eldest Senior Brother, why do you keep stopping me from telling the truth?”

After he left, Hua Ling said in an upset manner, “Also, if Youngest Junior Brother knows that his brother is looking for him, he will definitely be very happy!”

“Oh you, did you forget Elder Qing Xuan’s instructions? Youngest Junior Brother’s sword is a disaster beckoning object, you…”

When Gu Quan heard this, he looked at her with a face full of disappointment, “Also, there are already two supreme giants who went to stir trouble with Youngest Junior Brother’s brother. Are you going to tell Youngest Junior Brother now to break his heart?”

Hua Ling’s face turned pale when she heard that. She was extremely glad that she did not tell the truth.

…

At Sword Sect’s First Peak, countless people had gathered at this moment. Looking over, the place was crowded. Fortunately, the First Peak was big enough, so the place was not too crowded.

Among the many seats, there were rows of extremely large VIP seats. At this moment, there were figures with powerful auras seated on them.

When the people below occasionally swept their gazes over, their eyes were filled with reverence.

It was because the people seated on the platform were from the ten supreme sects, including the sect master of Sword Sect.

Everyone had come for today’s battle.

Compared to the silence in the VIP seats, the seats below were extremely noisy.

A sect master coughed and asked, “Guys, guess who will win this battle?”

“Do we even need to guess? Of course, Sword Sect’s First Peak will naturally win this battle!” The other force’s figure chuckled.

“That’s right, I bet on the person from the First Peak!”

“…”

In an instant, countless people expressed their opinions. Most of them thought highly of Sword Sect’s First Peak’s Sword Son.

However, the sect master from before shook his head, “In my opinion, that’s not the case. Perhaps you guys have yet to understand these two people clearly.”

Just as he was about to show off his knowledge, an extremely sharp sword intent suddenly flashed over from the horizon. The sword intent soared into the sky with the intention of breaking through everything.

Countless people looked at the sword intent that was getting closer and closer, and their hearts trembled, “He’s here, he’s here!”
