Chapter 877 - The Stepping Stone
The Jin Family’s influence in the Western Border Region is not small at all. Besides, some members of the Jin Family fled at that time. Therefore, it is pretty normal that the news has been spread.
Now that the people of the Joyoung Sect want to attend the opening ceremony after gaining the news, they must mean to make trouble.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Ge turns to look at Xia Shengtang and says, “It seems that we must go back as soon as possible.”
Xia Shengtang narrows his eyes, “Did the people of the Joyoung Sect go?”
“You heard it?”
“No.” Xia Shengtang laughs, “Currently, I can’t think of other people than the members of the Joyoung Sect.”
Gao Ge sneers, “You don’t know me well if you must say that.”
“Umm?”
“You have no idea how many people I have offended.”
Xia Shengtang is speechless.
He increasingly feels that it is an irrational choice to let his sister be with Gao Ge.
In the end, he can only look at Gao Ge and say meaningfully, “You had better find a way to continue enhancing your cultivation. And you must try your best to prosper the Star Sect.”
Gao Ge is utterly confused, “What?”
That’s Gao Ge’s plan even if Xia Shengtang doesn’t say that. However, now that Xia Shengtang has pointed it out seriously, Gao Ge is a bit confused.
Xia Shengtang says coldly, “I’m afraid that you will drag my sister into the trouble of being hunted every day if you are too weak.”
Gao Ge is speechless.
...
Enveloped in the golden light, Yue Xincheng feels rather warm as if being bathed in the long-lost sunshine in winter. Every cell of his is absorbing the warmth. A dark wooden box is hanging above the golden light. The box is carved with some indiscernible inscriptions. The reason why they are indiscernible is that the golden bright is too bright.
After a while, Yue Xincheng slowly opens his eyes and raises his head to look ahead.
“Who are you?”
historical
“Shenwu...”
Currently, Yue Xincheng seems to be talking with someone.
In the end, he smiles bitterly.
He stands up and pulls open the two copper doors.
“If I knew that I had to undertake these things in order to take in your legacy, maybe I wouldn’t come here...”
After getting out of the pavilion, he suddenly turns around and looks at the building that is gradually disappearing. In the end, with a bitter smile, he says slowly, “But I don’t regret my choice...”
Then, he puts a beast’s core into his mouth and starts to refine it.
“Shenwu...” Yue Xincheng parts his lips and mumbles.
To be accurate, this time, Yue Xincheng has acquired not only a legacy but also a man’s memories. Gladly, the memories are not many. Otherwise, Yue Xincheng would have to suspect whether he was Yue Xincheng or the owner of the legacy. Yet, the imposed memories add a burden to his shoulders. The biggest headache is that the man who left legacy told him to keep this to himself.
“Chen Jiudao, you’ve really dragged me into trouble...” After saying that, Yue Xincheng swallows another beast’s core and continues refining it to condense the saber Qi in his body.
Meanwhile, it seems that he is about to break through the peak of the realm of Strength Exposure!
...
In the Star Sect.
Seeing Gao Ge and Xia Shengtang come back unscathed, Xia Lu and the others are all relieved.
“Doesn’t Yue Xincheng come back with you?” Xia Lu holds Gao Ge’s arm and asks.
Xia Shengtang aside looks at the scene and feels a bit jealous. He directly turns his head and chooses not to see that.
Gao Ge reaches out his hand to gently stroke Xia Lu’s hair, saying in a soft voice, “He has his own things to do.”
Xia Lu nods and doesn’t continue asking.
“Sovereign, why can you be in such a good mood?” Wen Yihuan aside says with a sigh.
Master Guanshan is smiling all the time. His attitude is completely different from Wen Yihuan’s.
“Actually, in my opinion, this is not a big deal.”
Wen Yihuan glances at Master Guanshan and says, “How can you say it’s not a big deal? Our opening ceremony hasn’t been held yet but we have offended a sect of the blessed spot. Besides, this sect is not weak at all!”
“So what?” Master Guanshan sneers, “Isn’t this nice? After all, the Star Sect is going to be a sect of the blessed spot. Now, we can take the opportunity to tell those sects that we can compete with the Joyoung Sect and that we can even kill a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master and two cultivators at the realm of Master of theirs. In this case, more people will want to join our sect.”
“Humph. Join us? Are they fools? Aren’t they afraid of causing trouble to themselves?” Wen Yihuan says.
“...”
As they are arguing, Gao Ge doesn’t think much.
He will just roll with the punches.
The Joyoung Sect is not easy to deal with indeed but now that he has offended them, it is pointless to worry too much.
Besides, it’s the Joyoung Sect only.
The sovereign of the Joyoung Sect has been in closed-door training for many years. Besides, they also have a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master, two cultivators at the realm of Master, and maybe several disciples at the realm of Master. However, these people are not necessarily invincible for Gao Ge and his men.
“Currently, very few people dare to join the Star Sect indeed but after we deal with the Joyoung Sect, the Star Sect will rise to fame,” Xia Shengtang concludes.
Wen Yihuan seems unconvinced by his words.
“Such a choice is too unwise.”
Although Wen Yihuan has become more capable, he still fears falling into trouble deep inside his heart. Actually, it may not be a bad thing to have such a member in the Star Sect.
After all, any sect needs different voices, aggressive and preparative.
Xia Shengtang looks at Wen Yihuan and grins.
“From ancient times to the present, is there any sect that doesn’t rise to fame with the other sects as the stepping stones? Is there any cultivator who doesn’t become famous by stepping on the shoulders of those geniuses? We don’t have much time to send far and wide to invite men of ability. Taking a risky move may be a good choice.”
Wen Yihuan puts on a dejected look.
He doesn’t like such an act but on second thought, he has to admit that Xia Shengtang has made a good point.
That’s the truth.
The Star Sect needs some opponents to raise the position in the field of immortal cultivation or the blessed spots.
If the people of the Joyoung Sect know that they have been viewed as stepping stones by the Star Sect, it’s hard to say how they will feel.
“Okay. Enough talking about this. Gao Ge, give me the spiritual jades.” Xia Shengtang turns to look at Gao Ge.
Gao Ge nods.
Xia Shengtang says, “Before the opening ceremony, you had better elevate your state to the prime.”
Gao Ge seems to be enlightened and feels somewhat touched.
“Thank you, my brother-in-law.”
Xia Shengtang rolls his eyes and then goes away.
