Chapter 18: Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect
"Sect Master! You…"
"Didn't I tell you to shut up? Can't you hear?" Mo Canglan reprimanded once again.
He was already somewhat annoyed in his heart.
This useless person, who is inferior in skills, wants him to kill a genius with a Divine Body? Doesn't he understand what a Divine Body represents?
As long as he doesn't die prematurely, he will definitely reach the Fish-Dragon Realm in the future. The Fish-Dragon Realm, the entire Xia Country may not even have such a powerful existence!
This bastard Yang Tiangui actually wants to ruin the opportunity to establish a connection with a future peerless powerhouse?
Moreover, once Su Zhan joins the Sky Gate Sect, his own position as the Sect Master of Sky Gate Sect will rise even higher, becoming a martial arts giant in the entire Xia Country.
Mo Canglan thought about these things and grew increasingly disgusted with Yang Tiangui.
He and Yang Tiangui were originally in a master-disciple relationship, and now this disciple was like a waste in front of Su Zhan. Why should he give up on a true genius for the sake of a waste?
"Young Friend Su, what do you think?" Mo Canglan no longer paid attention to Yang Tiangui and turned to Su Zhan.
Su Zhan was also somewhat surprised that Mo Canglan suddenly changed his attitude and invited him to join the Sky Gate Sect. However, it was a good thing for him at the moment. A cultivator at the Martial Master Realm was not someone he could contend with right now.
Looking at Yang Tiangui, Su Zhan said, "Let's not talk about that for now. I want to ask, when did I ambush your disciple Yang Tiangui?"
As these words were spoken, all eyes converged on Yang Tiangui.
"Su Zhan can even repel a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm. Does he need to ambush him?"
"Could it be that Yang Tiangui ambushed Su Zhan, had his arm severed, and now he's falsely accusing him?"
"That's possible. I think that young man is extraordinary and not the kind of despicable person."
"Yes, the aura emanating from that young man Su Zhan is unique!"
…
Voices rang out, influenced by Su Zhan's charm and witnessing the scene of him repelling a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm with a single sword strike. Almost all the girls were overwhelmingly supportive of Su Zhan.
Other male martial artists also cast disdainful glances at Yang Tiangui.
Yang Tiangui's response no longer mattered.
With Su Zhan's victory over the cultivator at the Martial Master Realm, anyone who wasn't a fool could guess that Yang Tiangui had fabricated the incident!
At this moment, Yang Tiangui felt utter despair.
He couldn't even dream of it. Just ten minutes ago, Mo Canglan was fervently vowing to help him seek revenge and kill Su Zhan. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Mo Canglan was showing goodwill towards Su Zhan.
What about the promise to help him seek revenge? What about offending the disciples of the Sky Gate Sect and seeking death? Damn it, he changed his stance just like that!
Even the onlookers who were filled with righteous indignation immediately took Su Zhan's side.
In other words, he was already isolated.
Facing Su Zhan, who defeated a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm with a single sword strike, Yang Tiangui couldn't suppress the fear welling up inside him any longer.
His voice trembled as he said, "No, it's not what you think! It's, it's, it's…"
"What is it?"
Su Zhan's tone was cold as he looked at Yang Tiangui, who kept stammering and couldn't give a coherent explanation. He continued, "Since you insist that I ambushed you, you can make a move against me now. I'll only use one hand to see if I need to ambush you."
"No!" Upon hearing these words, Yang Tiangui's entire body was covered in goosebumps!
If Su Zhan was so terrifying, wouldn't he be seeking death by attacking him?
Seeing Yang Tiangui's pathetic appearance, Mo Canglan frowned and said, "Worthless fool, with Su Zhan's strength, does he need to ambush you? It's clear that you framed Su Zhan! Apologize to Su Zhan and kneel down!"
"Kneel down… apologize?"
Yang Tiangui hesitated for a moment, sensing Mo Canglan's anger, and reluctantly knelt down with a bitter face.
"Su, Su Zhan, I slandered you… I'm, I'm sorry!" Yang Tiangui's voice trembled, partly out of fear and partly due to the sense of shame.
The renowned genius of Liang Province, having his arm severed by someone and still having to kneel and apologize to that person!
If it weren't for knowing that even if his strength were multiplied several times over, he would still be no match for Su Zhan, Yang Tiangui would have already been unable to resist and fought Su Zhan with all his might.
Shame, it was too shameful!
Mo Canglan asked, "How about it, Su Zhan, are you satisfied?"
Su Zhan shook his head and said, "Yang Tiangui said to me in the ruins that he wanted to kill me. If I spare him today, won't I be inviting trouble for myself?"
"No, no, no! I was just talking nonsense, trying to scare you!" Yang Tiangui's face turned pale as he hurriedly explained.
"Nonsense?"
Su Zhan said calmly, "If that's the case, your words are not trustworthy. Perhaps you are now planning how to seek revenge on me in the future? In your heart, you have already started plotting, haven't you?"
Revenge?
You can defeat a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm, what revenge are you talking about!
Yang Tiangui felt like crying but had no tears, not knowing how to defend himself for a moment.
"Su Zhan, let's discuss Yang Tiangui's matter when we return to the Sky Gate Sect."
"No, this matter must be resolved first."
Mo Canglan furrowed his brow, "Are you joining my Sky Gate Sect only if Yang Tiangui dies?"
"Well…" Su Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "I still need to consider."
For a Sect Master who mercilessly kills his own sect disciple for the sake of an outsider, honestly, Su Zhan didn't have a good impression of him.
Naturally, he needed to carefully consider joining such a sect.
"You still need to consider?" Mo Canglan's face darkened, displeased. "Su Zhan, you've seen the sincerity of our Sky Gate Sect. What else is there to consider? If you agree to join our Sky Gate Sect, Yang Tiangui will be left to your disposal. Otherwise… Su Zhan, although you possess the Great Sun Divine Body, you're merely at the Essence Condensation Realm… Do you understand what I mean?"
Mo Canglan's patience was wearing thin. At this moment, he spoke with a hint of threat.
In his view, regardless of the reasons, the Sky Gate Sect was the best choice for Su Zhan. Moreover, as a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm, he had already lowered his posture. If Su Zhan still didn't agree, it would be too disrespectful to him!
"Does your Sky Gate Sect deserve to give face to a Divine physique genius?"
Just then, another figure arrived, riding a sword.
It was a tall middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe. He glanced at Mo Canglan and then looked at Su Zhan with a burning gaze. "This young friend Su, I am Elder Chen Changfeng of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. Our sect possesses the best techniques, martial arts, training grounds, and martial instructors in the entire Xia Country. We have the strongest warriors. If you are willing, we welcome you to join our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!"
Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect…
Information about this sect appeared in Su Zhan's mind, and his eyes brightened.
At present, his techniques and martial arts were somewhat falling behind his cultivation. Moreover, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect was the top sect in the Xia country and specialized in swordsmanship, which aligned perfectly with his interests.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhan said, "Elder Chen, can you do me a favor and arrange a fair duel between me and Yang Tiangui? This person holds deep hatred towards me. If I were to leave today without resolving this, I'm afraid he will find ways to kill me and bring calamity to my family."
"I overheard some of your conversation earlier, and I can see that this person has a despicable character. Even if you don't join our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, I will still help you with this favor!" Chen Changfeng pledged confidently.
"Very well." Su Zhan nodded and walked directly towards Yang Tiangui.
