Chapter 805: Chapter 802: The Situation of the Kunlun Sect

Although the two figures were merely blurry outlines, indistinguishable due to the distance, Xiao Tian could nearly guess their identities—it was the Lei Tong brothers.

Arriving at this conclusion, Xiao Tian felt a stir in his heart. An elder of the sect personally standing at the mountain gate to welcome him was a gesture that could not leave him unmoved.

Despite the possibility that the Lei Tong brothers’ actions were not solely out of friendship and may have had other motives, Xiao Tian, with his character of repaying kindness with greater kindness, naturally accepted this gesture.

As Xiao Tian detected the Lei Tong brothers, they also spotted him, and both parties began to move toward each other.

On the mountainside, Xiao Tian finally faced the Lei Tong brothers.

Upon stopping, the Lei Tong brothers cupped their hands and said, ”Xiao, it’s been a long time!”

Xiao Tian returned the gesture and replied, ”No need for formalities, earlier what you mentioned about a peculiar windmill-like object, may I ask if it is true?”

Master Lei stepped forward with an inviting gesture, ”Absolutely true. Please, Xiao, step inside so we can discuss this further.”

Xiao Tian nodded and followed the Lei Tong brothers as they moved toward the Kunlun Sect’s mountain gate.

As they walked, Master Lei reminded, ”Our Sect Leader, Daoist Tianxing, heard of your arrival and wants to speak with you.”

Finished with his words, Daoist Tong added from the side, ”Although it’s not for us to say, we must remind you, Xiao, the Sect Leader’s intention is most likely related to recent rumors about you.”

Unlike Master Lei’s straightforwardness, Daoist Tong’s words were delivered using the Sound Transmission Technique, as if deliberately avoiding something, nearly inaudible to Xiao Tian.

Receiving Daoist Tong’s transmission, Xiao Tian’s brow furrowed as he instantly realized the rumor referred to the treasure map he possessed.

Not fearing that Daoist Tianxing would act forcefully within his own domain, after Daoist Tong’s reminder, Xiao Tian suddenly gained a new understanding of Daoist Tianxing’s nature.

Previously eager to use Ghost Face and Xiao Tian to eliminate Celestial Punishment Daoist and the Lei Tong brothers, Daoist Tianxing’s stance had suddenly turned ambiguity, whether good or bad is yet unknown.

But surely, having failed to implement his plan of borrowing a blade for assassination, Daoist Tianxing’s mind must be feeling uneasy?

As they pondered, the three arrived at the Kunlun Sect’s mountain gate, seeing from afar the two large doors that slowly opened, displaying a welcoming attitude.

Once inside the Kunlun Sect’s mountain gate, Xiao Tian noticed the Lei Tong brothers’ expressions became serious all of a sudden, speaking no more, moving forward while leading the way.

Such demeanor hinted to Xiao Tian that their return to the Kunlun Sect might not be pleasant, yet Xiao Tian refrained from asking further, merely trailing their steps, moving forward.

In fact, having weighed the efficiency and completeness of personally seeking information on the Shaking Light Disc, Xiao Tian believed the knowledge wouldn’t be as precise as gaining it from the Kunlun Sect. Otherwise, he could bypass this directly to seek treasure.

But as the saying goes, when in Rome, act as the Romans do. Having arrived at the Kunlun Sect, maintaining cooperation to the fullest is beneficial, and if collaboration fails, being a lone wanderer is also acceptable.

However, the premise is extracting all information about the Shaking Light Disc from them, including the treasure’s location and their analysis.

Without the encyclopedia-like insights from the young girl by his side, Xiao Tian wouldn’t miss out on any clues!

Stepping into the Kunlun Sect’s assembly hall, the Lei Tong brothers cupped their hands and reported, ”Sect Leader, Xiao has been received.”

The seated Daoist Tianxing nodded lightly, ”You two may take your seats!”

Lei Tong brothers again cupped their hands in agreement, leaving Xiao Tian the sole standing figure within the hall, becoming the focus of the Kunlun Sect’s various elders.

Under the gaze of top-level experts, Xiao Tian exhibited a serene demeanor, his eyes betraying no significant change as clear and calm as a fresh spring.

The Kunlun Sect elders, observing this, though didn’t show it outwardly, were truly astonished internally.

At their level of expertise, even a small movement or shift in gaze could create an intimidating pressure. Under such scrutiny, those with lesser skill or poor mental resilience would immediately show signs of fear.

If an ordinary person were to endure such pressure, they might become insane or paralyzed, unable to bear it, their blood and energy stagnating, resulting in direct death.

Even if the elders were to confront such pressure simultaneously, they might not reach Xiao Tian’s level of composure!

After a moment, Daoist Tianxing nodded with a smile and addressed, ”Celestial Punishment Daoist!”

The Celestial Punishment Daoist’s expression hardened instantly, stepped forward, and cupped his hands, ”Sect Leader!”

”The Cyan Flame Institute now gathers many new disciples; please take a trip to familiarize them with the mountain gate and distribute our sect’s laws,” Daoist Tianxing instructed lightly.

”Yes!” Celestial Punishment Daoist accepted in agreement, then walked out of the assembly hall, sighing internally, realizing that turning the situation around seemed nearly impossible.

On the surface, new disciples are the fresh blood and future hope of the sect, seemingly entrusted with significant responsibility by Daoist Tianxing,

but Celestial Punishment Daoist clearly understood that fundamentally, this was his marginalization.

Moreover, leading new disciples, originally the task of elite disciples, handed over to a high-ranking elder, was also a form of disguised insult.

However, whether Celestial Punishment Daoist liked it or not, he had to accept this humiliation with a smile; otherwise, he did not doubt Daoist Tianxing would suppress him with unrelenting force.

Now, at most, he was being dragged about; while living, he had no chance, but once Daoist Tianxing died, his opportunity might come.

Even if not becoming the Sect Leader, Celestial Punishment Daoist at least had confidence his future would not be worse than the present!

As the Celestial Punishment Daoist walked out, seeing the calm-faced Xiao Tian, his heart grew increasingly complex.

If he had not antagonized Xiao Tian back then, would the situation now have reversed?

Yet, whatever words uttered were already belated; the hardest thing to find in the world is a remedy for regret, no matter how he lamented, it was futile!

After the Celestial Punishment Daoist departed, Daoist Tianxing calmly stretched out a hand, saying, ”Young friend, please take a seat beside Celestial Punishment.”

Simultaneously, the hall’s doors slowly closed without the slightest True Qi fluctuation, clearly orchestrated by Daoist Tianxing.

Daoist Tianxing’s words shocked the other elders. Intentionally dismissing the Celestial Punishment Daoist could be seen as marginalization and suppression, but letting Xiao Tian sit to his left might be too far-fetched if merely explained as hospitality!
