Chapter 398: Chapter 276 Sword Tassel_2
But on the other half of his face, he remained expressionless and calmly looked at Tie Dan,
"So I remember it all, the days we all trained together on Guangxia Mountain.
The times we trained together in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
And the days of herding horses with our senior and junior brothers on Yan Zhi Mountain.
Xiao Liu always considered you as his senior brother."
Tie Dan seemed indifferent.
The Divine General said,
"Why be so attached to the difference between sects, there’s no inherent good or evil in the way of cultivation, haven’t you also practiced the Blood God Main Body method from the Divine Sect?
Moreover, what has the Sword Sect given you that makes it worth it? Is it for Senior Brother Yue?
But back then, I was also forced with no choice, do you remember, when we were trapped at the Immortal Palace secret realm, in peril and on the brink of death?
At that time, the only option was to let Senior Brother Yue go out to seek help, but how could he make it in time?
So I cast a secret spell on him to seek help from nearby Divine Sect members. Who would have thought...
Forget it, this indeed should be blamed on me, but you hadn’t been in the sect for long then, how close were you to Senior Brother Yue?"
Tie Dan bit on the sword, rushed forward fiercely, turned his head, and cleaved the Divine General’s face with the sword! Split most of his skull!
Sadly, his Body Refinement was too tough, his head was so hard that even the Imperial Sword could only chop off half, with half the skull hanging by flesh, dangling off his shoulder.
Thus, the head hung upside down, looking at the hatred in Tie Dan’s eyes, suddenly understanding something, sighed,
"Oh, you didn’t know, right? Senior Brother Zhou was killed by the master."
As Tie Dan was about to stab the sword through his heart, he froze at that moment.
Then Xiao Liu broke his right hand, picked up his head with his left hand, and said calmly,
"Yes, no one would tell you, so I’ll tell you.
Our master, Chen Tianku, Chen Huzi, is not dead.
He betrayed the sect, left the Sword Sect, defected to the Divine Sect.
I think he’s now at Heavenly Mountain Bright Peak, under a new identity, serving as a Venerable Master."
The treasure sword fell into the snow.
"Bullshit!!"
Tie Dan’s face twisted, looking inhuman, like a dragon, like a wolf, but he crushed his teeth, and when he opened his mouth again to bite the sword, he couldn’t pick it up.
So he lunged forward, his face grim, kicking at the Divine General’s chest, but it was like kicking a steel wall, bouncing straight back, all his Power Qi was gone.
Xiao Liu just watched him, folded his broken arm back, a flash of blood, and restored it as new,
"Unexpected, right? Eighteen Flying Stars, Tianku Sword Master, Chen Dewei, actually defected from Nine Yin Mountain on his own.
I was quite surprised myself. When he laid it all out for me, I really thought I was going to die."
Xiao Liu slowly lowered his hands, stood up, and touched the sword scar on his face.
"Now that things have come to this, I might as well tell you.
Because in my previous life, I did something big, was hunted by the Immortal Palace, and my whole family was annihilated. Originally, in this life, I only wanted to find a place to hide, to cultivate in peace for hundreds of years, avoiding the spotlight, who would have thought the Sword Sect would pick me up.
So to hide my identity, upon entering the mountain, I even discarded the Divine Master Blood Jade.
But I never expected that your natural talent was so good, actually getting personally taught the Divine Master’s Heavenly Book, and even more unexpected, he clearly saw you had the Divine Master Jade, but didn’t eliminate you."
Xiao Liu followed the wound of the sword scar, reached out and tore it off, his face’s flesh wriggled like worms as it reattached the head, reshaping his face,
"I think he had already guessed, that among the disciples, there were people from the Divine Sect, just had to guess who it was.
Of course, it wasn’t that person from the Shen Family, so it was either me or you.
So, that time at the Spirit Communication Secret Realm, why do you think he arrived so quickly, because he was always secretly watching us.
And I guess, he was watching when Senior Brother Yue got into trouble, after all, to lure the snake out of its hole, one must lose a little patience for the sake of a bigger plan...
Later, didn’t you go to Jindu? He probably also followed secretly, tried you once, and after confirming it wasn’t you, returned to the mountain to lay it out for me.
In short, he said, he was fed up with doing dirty work for the Sword Sect, after hundreds of years of hard work, he was still a Flying Star on the outer mountain, unable to reach the summit.
Because of one or two slip-ups, he was sent to that godforsaken place, Guangxia Mountain, to guard the sword pool, facing the wall in contemplation.
So he wanted to rely on his skills, taking the secret knowledge of the Sword Sect, to develop in the Divine Sect or something like that.
Of course, I didn’t dare to agree face to face, who knows if he’s trying to test me, fishing for information."
Xiao Liu turned his head, with his face full of flowing blood, muscles rolling, expression unclear, quietly watching Tie Dan, paused in silence.
"Then just when Senior Brother Zhou came in, said he had cooked porridge for me.
He just chopped off his head with a sword, threw it at my feet, and said it was a token of allegiance."
At this time, Tie Dan was silent, not knowing what expression he wore.
Xiao Liu looked at Tie Dan quietly, both of them didn’t speak for a moment.
After a while, Xiao Liu spoke again,
"So I agreed, introduced him to join the Divine Sect.
You don’t have to worry about me harming him, I used to be a Dharma King in my previous life, prioritizing the big picture, besides, I earned some merits, had some connections.
Him being a core member of the Sword Sect, Eighteen Flying Stars defecting, it’s a great merit, introduced by me.
I suppose the Divine Sect won’t treat him badly, likely he can be a Dharma Protector Venerable or something.
As for me, burdened with too much karma, too many enemies, inconvenient to leave together, I left him at the foot of the mountain, when the Sword Sect people came looking, just accused the Divine Sect of attacking, and claimed I fell to my death."
