The Immortal Taoist Chapter 221

Chapter 221 - Peace before the Storm

"We pay our respects to Vice Sect Leader!"

Beneath the life and death arena, the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple and elders were all shouting. They had clearly seen the great battle before. Vice Sect Master Xiang Yuan Liang was killed by Ling Dao, and in terms of strength, Ling Dao was already enough to be Sky-splitting Sword Sect's Vice Sect Master.

Moreover, Ling Dao was only fifteen years old. As long as he had enough time, he would definitely become even stronger in the future. The year was nearing, and before long, Ling Dao would be sixteen years old. When he was twenty, how tyrannical would he be?

After Duan Zhenghui gave some instructions, someone cleaned up Xiang Liang's body. No matter what, Xiang Yuan Liang was once the Vice Sect Master of Sky-splitting Sword Sect, so he naturally could not just leave them here. Of course, no one would want to take revenge against Yuan Liang, they had already seen Ling Dao's power, without his cultivation, it was better not to cause trouble for him.

"Let's end this matter here. Xiang Yuan Liang is already dead. I will deal with the elders who partic.i.p.ated in this matter. How about it?"

The current Ling Dao, was completely different from the past. Duan Zhenghui naturally did not treat Ling Dao as a disciple anymore, and his conversation with Ling Dao was filled with discussion. Ling Dao was already a air defence warrior, and it might not be long before he would surpa.s.s Duan Zhenghui.

"Alright, let the punishment be a little heavier. This matter shall be cleared!"

Previously, Ling Dao did not give Duan Zhenghui any face, and directly beheaded Yuan Liang. Now that Duan Zhenghui was pleading for mercy on behalf of the other elders, Ling Dao naturally could not refute anymore and just let the elders go. In any case, the culprit, Xiang Liang, was already dead, so his deterrence was definitely sufficient. He even dared to kill the vice sect master, who wouldn't dare?

"Un, no problem!"

Duan Zhenghui was also relieved, if Ling Dao really wanted to kill those elders, he would have a headache. Even though he didn't know the details, he knew that there were many elders who were involved in this matter.

Not long after, Zhuang Xin also came out. When he found out that Ling Dao had killed Xiang Yuan, he was also at a loss for words, not daring to believe. It could be said that he watched Ling Dao grow step by step. At that time, Ling Dao only had Physical Realm, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he was already around the same as him.

"Grand master, the promise of fully cultivating this super genius disciple was correct, right?"

In the main hall of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there were only Duan Zhenghui and Zhuang Xin. Regarding the matter regarding Ling Dao, Zhuang Xin had naturally come to Duan Zhenghui's place to seek confirmation, which was why he completely believed the rumors. For such a monster to appear in Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Zhuang Xin was naturally extremely happy.

"That's right, that's right. It's just that Ling Dao's rate of growth is completely outside of our expectations. Before we even had the chance to fully nurture him, his battle prowess was already around the same as ours. Even if it's me, I have no confidence in defeating him! "

Duan Zhenghui's expression was extremely contradictory. He was naturally extremely happy that such an outstanding disciple had appeared in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but Ling Dao had only spent less than a year to accomplish tens of years of his accomplishments.

"Ling Dao is a righteous and loyal man and we treat him well. When he becomes strong in the future, he will definitely protect us Sky-splitting Sword Sect. However, I'm afraid it's impossible for him to become the Sect Leader! "

Both Zhuang Xin and Duan Zhenghui understood that there was no room for this big fish, Ling Dao, in this small stream of Sky-splitting Sword Sect. What Ling Dao needed was an even wider stage, where it was just a small Sky-splitting Sword Sect that was simply not suitable for him. How could a Golden Scale Beast be an object within a pond? It would only encounter wind and clouds before it transformed into a dragon.

Duan Zhenghui's growth was simply too fast, his air defence was unable to stop's footsteps. If Ling Dao was restricted to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, it would definitely hinder his future development.

"I'll go and see Ling Dao. I wonder what his plans will be in the future!"

The relations.h.i.+p between Zhuang Xin and Ling Dao was naturally better than that between Duan Zhenghui and the others. After becoming vice sect master, Ling Dao naturally lived in the sky palace on the east side as well. Not long after, Zhuang Xin arrived at Ling Dao's residence.

"Grandpa Jiang, you just need to lie down. I will prepare something for you to eat!"

Jiang Ren's injuries were not light. In this period of time, it was Ling Dao who was taking care of him. Now that Ling Dao had a new residence, naturally, he had to pull Jiang Ren over as well. From a long distance away, Zhuang Xin heard Ling Dao's voice and naturally walked in.

"Vice Sect Leader, you're here!"

Ling Dao smiled at Zhuang Xin, and then invited Zhuang Xin to sit, he then brought out all the food. He even took out a jar of good wine, which made Jiang Ren extremely happy, even if he was injured, it was no exception.

"Vice Sect Leader, this token is for you. I'll return it to you now. There's no need for it in the future!"

The current Ling Dao, was already a vice sect master himself, so using Zhuang Xin's vice sect master token naturally wouldn't be of any use at all. Originally, the reason why Zhuang Xin gave him this order badge was so that Ling Dao could use it when he was in a difficult situation to deal with.

Unfortunately, until now, Ling Dao had never used this order badge. Ling Dao was completely able to handle whatever was happening in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Even if he took out this token, it wouldn't have any effect on him.

"Alright, I didn't expect you to return it back to me after not using it once. You only had Physical Realm when I gave you the command tablet, but I never thought that in the blink of an eye, you would already be a vice sect master like me. I have yet to congratulate you on becoming the vice sect master. Come, cheers! "

For Ling Dao to have achieved such an achievement, he was extremely happy as well. After keeping the vice sect master token, Zhuang Xin raised his own wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Zhuang Xin did not feel much about Xiang Liang's death. In any case, his relations.h.i.+p with Xiang Liang was not that good anyway.

"The New Year is approaching. After the New Year, perhaps the Heavy Sword Sect will make her move."

If Ling Dao had not first destroyed the Heavy Sword Sect's spirit stone vein, then stole the Three Revolutions Spirit Gathering Flower, the Heavy Sword Sect would have already taken action against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. It was very obvious that Ling Dao had already done it and done it very successfully for the Heavy Sword Sect.

"Is it the end of the year?"

Ling Dao held onto his wine cup, and looked towards the direction of the capital. During last year's New Year, he spent his days in the King Carefree's Palace in the capital. Unexpectedly, the King Carefree Palace had already been destroyed, so he could only stay in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect for the pa.s.sing of the year.

When he thought back to the night when the King Carefree Residence was exterminated, he unconsciously clenched his fists tightly. It was fortunate that he had an extremely accurate grasp of his strength, otherwise, the wine cup in his hand would have already been completely shattered by him.

"Beijing, maybe I will be back soon!"

Great Luo Dynasty was an eighth-ranked power, and the current Ling Dao only had air defence. Naturally, he wasn't able to contend against an eighth-ranked power. A ninth rank force had a Origin Stage Warrior, and within the eighth rank forces, there were even warriors who had surpa.s.sed the Origin Stage.

Moreover, the matters of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had not been settled yet, so he naturally could not leave. Only after he had settled the Heavy Sword Sect would he be able to leave the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. With his current strength, although it was not sufficient to affect the overall situation, it was definitely a great threat to the Heavy Sword Sect.

Heavy Sword Sect.

"After the end of the year, I will definitely annihilate the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. I must make Ling Dao suffer a fate worse than death, or else I swear I won't be a human!"

During this period of time, a lot of white hair had appeared on Zhong Taicang's head. Zhong Fei Fei's and Zhong Jianxing's death was an extremely painful blow to him. After that, the matter of the Spirit Stone lode and the Third Cycle Spirit Gathering Flower drove him even more mad.

He wished that he could make a move against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect right now, wished that he could hack Ling Dao into pieces right now. However, he still had to prepare for a period of time, and helping out after the end of the year was the most appropriate decision. After all, the Heavy Sword Sect had to make some preparations as well.

"Inform Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect and Sect Leader of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect to attack Sky-splitting Sword Sect together after the end of the year. We must eliminate them!"

In order to not let the True Martial Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect take advantage of him, Zhong Taicang invited them to attack together. Maybe the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had already reached an agreement with the Anshan. If it was just the Heavy Sword Sect alone, it would not be safe.

The current Heavy Sword Sect was no longer the same as before. Zhong Luohai's and Zhong Tailong's deaths had already caused the number of Origin Stage Warrior s to decrease by two. If Anshan helped Sky-splitting Sword Sect again, it would be a little dangerous if Heavy Sword Sect acted alone.

"Yes Sovereign!"

Very quickly, two air defence Elders set off. An elder rushed to True Martial Sword Sect and an elder rushed to the Black Tortoise Sword Sect. Once Zhong Taicang gave the order, the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect and the others would definitely obediently obey.

"My sect's master would like to see how your Sky-splitting Sword Sect will withstand the pressure when the time comes."

Zhong Taicang laughed coldly, with the group of Heavy Sword Sect experts, along with the and Black Tortoise Sword Sect experts, it would not be difficult for them to exterminate the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Even if the Anshan was powerful, it would not be enough. The Sky-splitting Sword Sect was not even comparable to either the Black Tortoise Sword Sect or the True Martial Sword Sect, so how could he stop them from joining hands?

True Martial Sword Sect.

"Your Clan Master means to make a move against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect after the end of the year?"

The Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect frowned, Zhong Taicang's intention was extremely obvious, he wanted them, the True Martial Sword Sect, to be at the front. He didn't want to agree, but he had no choice. If he was not obedient, Zhong Taicang could definitely find a reason to attack True Martial Sword Sect.

Given True Martial Sword Sect's current strength, it was naturally impossible for him to defend against him. If Zhong Taicang wanted to make a move against the True Martial Sword Sect, then he would be able to sweep them away with her absolute power. The True Martial Sword Sect was only a tenth rank force, but the Heavy Sword Sect was a ninth rank force. The disparity was naturally huge.

"Go back and tell your Clan Master, don't worry, our True Martial Sword Sect is ready to take action anytime!"

This kind of reply made the elders of the Heavy Sword Sect smile happily. As long as Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect agreed, he could go back and reply. If Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect did not agree, he would probably have a headache.

Black Tortoise Sword Sect.

"Did the main Zhong Sect make their move against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect? No problem, when the time comes, our Black Tortoise Sword Sect will definitely take action! "

It was impossible for Sect Leader of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect to not agree. Even if a thousand in his heart were to refuse, he still had to agree on the surface. He would definitely send out a lot of Black Tortoise Sword Sect martial artists. There was no other way around it.

"Alright, as long as I have Sect Leader's words, I am relieved!"

This Heavy Sword Sect Elder had long guessed that this was the case, so there was naturally nothing to be surprised about. Everything had to wait until the end of the year. The Heavy Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sword Sect would definitely be extremely strong.

"In that case, I will return to report!"

After the Heavy Sword Sect elder left, the smile on Sect Leader of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect's face disappeared and was replaced with gloominess.
