Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Just Toss It At Them

Ignoring Yao Dan, Fang Chen turned to Abbess Moonchaser and asked, “Abbess, who is he?”

Yao Dan’s cheeks twitched. He glanced at Fang Chen with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

“He’s the first elder of the Qing Province Sword Sect, an early Foundation Establishment cultivator,” Abbess Moonchaser replied.

Early Foundation Establishment? Fang Chen was surprised. “A Foundation Establish cultivator utters such nonsense?”

“Hah!” Abbess Moonchaser laughed. “He’s just shameless.”

Their exchange fanned the hostility of the Qing Province Sword Sect’s cultivators. Yao Dan glared at Fang Chen and asked, “Daoist, what’s your background? Don’t you know you have to be prudent with your words? Otherwise, you might bring trouble not just upon yourself but the sect behind you too.”

“Are there no creative threats? All you people utter about is either murder or massacring my sect. You don’t even know what my sect is,” Fang Chen scoffed.

Abbess Moonchaser smirked too. The Qing Province Sword Sect wants to massacre Fang Chen’s sect? That’s like an earthworm trying to shake a tree.

Yao Dan harrumphed. He turned to Abbess Moonchaser and said, “Cut the crap. Are you handing over the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy or not? If you insist on monopolizing it, I’ll make sure to cause a huge fuss in your Moon Monastery today!”

“How can you be so shameless! That Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy wasn’t from that fae cultivator at all!” Abbess Clearlotus’ face puffed red.

“Are you insinuating that our disciples lied? When it comes to shamelessness, there’s no one who surpasses your Moon Monastery. You’re a bunch of whores who claim to be virtuous and chaste!” Yao Dan sneered.

“Yao Dan, your Qing Province Sword Sect is not strong enough to call the shots in Infernoblaze,” Abbess Moonchaser said. “I’ll give you a chance. Leave with your people and drop this unrealistic pursuit.”

“What if I refuse?” Yao Dan laughed. “Ah, I heard you reached out to the Spirit Heaven Sect Master and the Flying Eagle Sect Master for help. The three of you used to travel the world together. You must have been close.”

Abbess Moonchaser looked impassively at Yao Dan, not saying a word.

Just then, two figures descended from the sky. One of them was riding on a copper bell, whereas the other was riding on a spear. They landed at the entrance of the Moon Monastery one after another.

Abbess Moonchaser and the other nuns’ complexions lifted.

“Young master Fang, they are the Spirit Heaven Sect Master and the Flying Eagle Sect Master. It looks like the tides are now on our side,” Abbess Clearlotus whispered to Fang Chen.

The Spirit Heaven Sect Master stowed away her bell before turning to Yao Dan. “Brother Yao, there’s no need to make a move on the Moon Monastery. We can always talk things out.”

She had a tall stature and long, slender legs. Many of the Qing Province Sword Sect’s cultivators couldn’t stop looking at her.

In contrast, the Flying Eagle Sect Master was a brawny man. With his spear in hand, he turned to Abbess Moonchaser and asked, “Moonchaser, I hope we didn’t arrive late.”

“You arrived just on time.” Abbess Moonchaser nodded.

“It’s not that I don’t want to talk things out, but she’s too greedy to monopolize a fortuitous encounter that our disciples obtained together. Anyone in my position would have been upset, don’t you think so?” Yao Dan said.

The Spirit Heaven Sect Master nodded. “I understand. I would have felt the same too. Why don’t we sit down and discuss how we should allocate the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy?”

The Flying Eagle Sect Master nodded in agreement. “Let’s do it fairly so that there are no arguments. It wouldn’t be good to blow things up, else the South Heaven Sect might get involved too.”

Startled, Abbess Moonchaser looked at the two of them with a frown.

“Moonchaser, we’ll mediate on your behalf. As long as you share the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy among us four, we can peacefully resolve this matter,” the Spirit Heaven Sect Master told Abbess Moonchaser with a smile.

Abbess Clearlotus and the nuns were taken aback too. Something was clearly missing here.

Those two sect masters should have been helping them deal with the Qing Province Sword Sect, but it looked more like they coveted the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy too!

“You see this, Abbess Moonchaser? Those two will side with fairness over you,” Yao Dan sneered.

“You two…” Abbess Moonchaser’s complexion didn’t look too good. “He bribed you?”

“Who can possibly bribe us? We’re all Foundation Establishment cultivators. None of us are above the other.” The Spirit Heaven Sect Master raised her eyebrows. “However, we have to be reasonable here. If we get unreasonable… it’ll just lead to unnecessary casualties.”

At this point, she let out a soft sigh and said, “Moonchaser, we have known each other for a long time. You know what kind of person I am. This is not a matter you can be wilful about. The Moon Monastery cannot monopolize the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy.”

“You should listen to her.” The Flying Eagle Master sighed too. “You have always been an obstinate one, refusing to listen to our advice on many matters. You ended up damaging your foundation, losing the ability to ever advance to mid Foundation Establishment. Do you want history to repeat itself?”

“Ah, so her foundation is impaired…” Fang Chen glanced at Abbess Moonchaser.

Abbess Moonchaser was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head.

“I’ve already told you. The Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy was a gift. Without that person’s permission, not even I would dare lay my hands on it. My disciple is the only one in my sect who can practice it.”

Yao Dan and the others sneered. They didn’t believe Abbess Moonchaser’s words.

The Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy could be used as the foundation of a sect. Who in the right mind would give it to another person?

“Moonchaser, why don’t you try asking them if they believe you?” Yao Dan scoffed. “The two of them are already mediating from a fair point of view. I hope that you can show some sincerity. If the three of us join hands, we’d only need two hours to massacre your Moon Monastery.”

“Moonchaser, you weren’t like that. It is beneath you to lie. Is it worth doing that for a mere Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy?” The Spirit Heaven Sect Master frowned. “The Moon Monastery seeks to cultivate the heart. Lies will only further impede you from reaching mid Foundation Establishment.”

She then paused and said with a gentle smile. “Why don’t you hand over the Purple Lightning Talisman’s legacy for us to examine together? Even if word gets out, and the South Heaven Sect tries to lay their hands on it, they would have to think twice about going against all of us.”

“Young master Fang, you should leave first. Today is not a good day for our Moon Monastery to host guests,” Abbess Moonchaser told Fang Chen.

“Leave? He isn’t going anywhere,” Yao Dan sneered. “He has already made up his mind to interfere in this matter.”

Fang Chen laughed. He turned to Abbess Clearlotus and asked, “What’s the highest grade of Purple Lightning Talismans you are able to draw?”

“Low-grade…” Abbess Clearlotus reflexively replied.

“Here is a pinnacle Purple Lightning Talisman. Come, feel its power. It’ll aid you in drawing pinnacle Purple Lightning Talismans in the future,” Fang Chen took out a Purple Lightning Talisman and passed it to Abbess Clearlotus.

Then, he pointed at the Qing Province Sword Sect’s Ki Refinement cultivators and said, “Now, throw it at them.”
