My Master Knows It All

684: Chapter 213_5 684: Chapter 213_5 His name was the Brave Soul Bell.

This great bell was not the one rung during the grand competition of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

This great bell would only be rung when the Hundred Peaks Sect was faced with a moment of life and death.

It had been ten thousand years since this great bell last sounded, and now, shortly after the advent of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the Brave Soul Bell had been rung!

The sound of the bell was deep and solemn, filled with a sense of tragic heroism and defiance.

“The Brave Spirit Bell, the Brave Spirit Bell is ringing!”

“When the Brave Spirit Bell rings, the Hundred Peaks Sect is in its most critical moment!”

“Let’s go, head to the sect entrance!”

As the Brave Spirit Bell rang out, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, from every mountain peak, all Peak Masters, Elders, Disciples flew down and headed toward the direction of the sect entrance.

However, some were stopped halfway.

“You few, you’re only at the Immortal Bridge Stage, what are you doing heading to the sect entrance!”

“You, in the Core Formation Stage, what are you going for, it’s complete nonsense!”

“All disciples below the Golden Core Stage, go back immediately!

The Hundred Peaks Sect still has so many Golden Core Stages, it’s not your turn to risk your lives yet!”

An elderly Peak Master shouted at the rush of Core Formation and Immortal Bridge period disciples: “Go back, all of you go back!”

“We also want to contribute to the Hundred Peaks Sect!”

“That’s right, everyone is rushing out.

My seniors went, I won’t stay behind!”

“Yes, we’re not afraid, we’re not cowards!”

“Not cowards?” The old Peak Master instantly became furious and roared, “You haven’t even condensed your Golden Cores, what use are you if you go?

You should stay back, preserve the lifeline of your lineages, and in the future become Golden Cores, even achieve the state of Earth Immortals, and strengthen our Hundred Peaks Sect—that’s what real heroes are!

If you go now, you’re simply rushing to your deaths, that is cowardly, all of you get back!

We old folks are still here, it’s not your turn yet to risk your lives for the Hundred Peaks Sect!”

“Listen to the Peak Master, everyone go back!”

“If you go now, you’ll only cause chaos, don’t make us distracted by having to take care of you, all of you go back!”

Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, one by one, the Peak Masters, those in the Golden Core Stage, stopped those at the Core Formation and Immortal Bridge Stages from proceeding.

With persuasion, and even reprimands, the disciples at the Core Formation and Immortal Bridge Stages eventually turned back.

The old Peak Master, watching the retreating disciples, turned his face away.

Although he had spoken with the harshest words just moments ago, and even resorted to curses towards the end, his eyes were, without anyone noticing, already moist.

These were the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, their Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples, never knowing fear.

In their hearts, the honor and existence of the Hundred Peaks Sect came first, placing themselves always behind.

He knew this was not a time for sentimentality.

He turned to fly towards the sect entrance, but a glance caught a familiar figure, and he couldn’t help but say irritably, “Deng Qixing, what are you going to do?

Those disciples are ignorant, are you as well?

You, at the Core Formation Stage, what hot mess are you joining, hurry back!”

Deng Qixing shook his head lightly, his steps forward did not stop, but he called out, “Old Liu, you’re still the same, a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Alright, no need for more words.

Can’t you see?

Old fellow, I don’t have much time left.

Before I die, let me do something for the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“You…” Old Liu halted, he could indeed feel that Deng Qixing’s life was not going to last much longer.

Deng Qixing had long since passed the Seven Star Peak onto his leading disciple Chao Zi Zai precisely because he did not have much time left.

Looking at Deng Qixing’s aged face, he sighed and said no more.

Although this time, those of the Hundred Peaks Sect heading to the sect entrance were all at the Golden Core Stage, the Hundred Peaks Sect always had a tradition: as long as the old folks were still around, they absolutely did not allow the younger disciples to rush to their deaths.

If someone had to die, it would be the old folks who went first!

But, Chao Zi Zai at Deng Qixing’s side…

Seeing that Old Liu no longer tried to dissuade him, Deng Qixing instead turned back to look at his own disciple, Chao Zi Zai, and with a stern face he shouted, “Old man, I haven’t much time left, why are you following?”

“Disciple, disciple wants to accompany Master!” Chao Zi Zai’s gaze was filled with determination.

“What are you going to do, follow me to my death?

I’m an old man nearing death, now to fight one last time for the Hundred Peaks Sect.

My name might be engraved on the Brave Spirit Bell and later enter the Spirit Mountain.

And you?

You think to join an old man like me in the Spirit Mountain at such a young age?

If you die, what will become of Seven Star Peak?

Or do you wish to be the coward spoken of by Old Liu?”

“Disciple just wants to stay by Master’s side!”

“Stay by my side?

Do you want to sever the legacy of our Seven Star Peak?

I, the old man, passed on the entire legacy of Seven Star Peak to you, if you die, how does our lineage continue?

How can I face our ancestors at Spirit Mountain if you do that?

Hurry back, go cultivate properly, make our Seven Star Peak one of the Top Ten Peaks, then, your Master can boast next to the neighbors on Spirit Mountain!

What are you still standing there for?

Go back now!

Do you believe if you take one more step, I’ll self-destruct right in front of you, you wouldn’t want your Master to not even enter Spirit Mountain, right?”
