C1762 There is no hope of revenge
His incomparably arrogant voice echoed in the eardrums of the crowd, causing their hearts to involuntarily tremble.
Countless gazes turned in a certain direction, only to see a figure shuttling through the air. The speed of this figure was unbelievably fast, and each step he took revealed a supreme grace and demeanor. His demeanor was extremely extraordinary.
"Donghuang Yu!" Many people had a strange expression on their faces when they saw who it was.
This great demon king had also come here, it seemed like things would change for the better.
This was because Qin Xuan's existence had undergone a huge change. Thus, when the crowd saw Qin Xuan coming out, they felt that things might not develop as they had imagined.
The Tianji Sword Lord also saw Qin Xuan and his eyes became incomparably cold. This brat, is he trying to cause trouble again?
Lin Ru and Taiyi Daojun also looked at Qin Xuan. Lin Ru was stunned, as if he was shocked that Qin Xuan had come.
"Big Brother Lin, why didn't you tell me about this?" Qin Xuan came over to Lin Ru's side and looked at him. His tone revealed a little blame.
"This is my private matter, you don't have to interfere." Lin Ru shook his head: "Moreover, with your strength, participating in it will only bring you danger."
"You've helped me so much, how can I stand idly by and watch over your matters?" Qin Xuan said. He looked at Tianji Sword Lord and asked: "Do you still remember the three conditions?"
Tianji Sword Lord's deep eyes froze for a moment. He didn't know why Qin Xuan had suddenly brought up this matter, but he nodded his head nonetheless.
"Now, I want you to fulfill the third condition." Qin Xuan continued to speak.
The third condition was that he would help Donghuang Yu this time. He had already promised before that he would keep his promise and fulfill this condition.
He thought that Donghuang Yu wouldn't be able to use this condition, but he never expected that it would be used here.
"What, a dignified Tianji Sword Lord like you actually wants to go back on your words?" Qin Xuan stared at Tianji Sword Lord and spoke with a cold tone. He did not believe that Tianji Sword Lord would dare to go against his promise in front of everyone.
The vast crowd also quieted down, and their gazes all turned to the Tianji Sword Lord, waiting for his decision.
Lin Ru, should we kill him or not?
If he didn't kill him now, it would be very difficult to kill him in the future. However, if he killed him, it would be in violation of his own promise and he would lose his trust in the world.
The Heavenly Sword Sect's leader had openly destroyed his promise and lost all face.
This decision was extremely difficult.
Sword Master, right now is the best opportunity to get rid of Lin Ru, he has already seen it with his own eyes, if he is given more time to grow, the next time he comes, I am afraid that he will not be as easy to deal with as he is today. He was considering it from the perspective of the Heavenly Sword Sect, for the future development of the Sword Sect, Lin Ru had to die.
As for the personal face of the Tianji Sword Lord, compared to the future of the Sword Sect, it was obviously not important.
After being silent for a long time, the Tianji Sword Lord glanced at Lin Ru, and then looked at Qin Xuan, and said: "I will let him go today, and the agreement between you and I will drop here. The next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"
"Alright." Qin Xuan nodded, looked at Lin Ru and said: "Big Brother Lin, let's go."
Lin Ru looked deeply at Qin Xuan and his heart couldn't help but release a ripple. He didn't expect that today's sure death situation would actually be easily resolved by someone from the late stage of the Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, Donghuang Yu had been calm and collected the entire time, as if everything was under his control.
He even had the misconception that the person standing in front of him was not a young man, but a peerless expert who had cultivated for countless years.
Donghuang Yu was making it harder and harder for him to understand.
After that, Qin Xuan, Lin Ru and Taiyi Daojun left the place, and countless people watched as the three left, feeling extremely uneasy.
He never thought that this stir would end in such a plain and normal way. It was truly unexpected, Donghuang Yu indeed had a mystical ability, to be able to reverse the flow of events every time.
They looked at Tianji Sword Lord again, feeling somewhat surprised in their hearts. They never thought that Tianji Sword Lord would keep his promise, and in order to protect their reputation, would let go of an enemy that would be a great threat to them in the future.
Only, his actions today might bring about a disaster to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Sword Master, why did you let them leave?" Great Clan Elder's face was flushed red as he looked at Tianji Sword Lord and asked.
"Heavenly Sword Sect's face cannot be sullied by anyone." Tianji Sword Lord said in a bland voice, "Even if it's me, I can't."
"However, the Sword Sovereigns let them go today. In the future, they might be able to make a comeback. At that time, how should I deal with them?" The Great Elder asked.
Tianji Sword Lord looked at the Great Clan Elder, his eyes becoming more imposing, he said: "From Great Clan Elder's point of view, I should give up my Sect Master's dignity, and go kill the two of you, who can only become a threat to the Sword Sect in the future?"
The Great Elder didn't reply, but he did think so.
As a Sect Master, he should have done so in case something happened ahead of time.
Seeing the expression on the Great Clan Elder's face, Tianji Sword Lord snorted coldly, and spoke with an incomparably imposing voice: "Since I took over as Sword Master, who in the Xihua Islands would dare to humiliate the Sword Sect? Now, just for two people, you want me to put aside my face for you? Great Elder, have you gone senile? "
When Tianji Sword Lord's voice fell, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in the Great Clan Elder's ears, causing him to tremble in fear.
The Sword Master was warning him!
When the Second and Third Elder saw this scene unfold before them, they also had some things they wanted to say. They immediately swallowed their words, not daring to speak anymore.
Although they were all seniors of the Sword Master, their strength was not as strong as him. The Sword Master had always been ruthless and would dare to kill anyone. If they angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tianji Sword Lord casually swept a glance over the three elders, and said: "The three elders are already very old, so it is understandable that many things could not be clearly seen, I will not blame you, so I will not worry about it, and focus on my cultivation. Without my words, there is no need for the three of you to worry about the matters of sect."
When the three elders heard this, their hearts trembled slightly. Was he going to put them under house arrest?
It sounded like he wanted them to cultivate in peace, but without his order, they could not ask him about the matters of the sect.
However, since things had progressed to this point, they could not get involved. It would be better for them to focus on cultivation.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sword Master. Since that's the case, we'll be going now." The Great Clan Elder looked at Tianji Sword Lord and said, after that the three of them turned and left, flying straight for the depths of Tianji Palace.
The disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect and the spectators who rushed over from the surroundings all looked at Tianji Sword Lord with a hint of reverence in their eyes. Tianji Sword Lord was worthy of being known as the overlord of an era, his methods were too powerful, he held power in his hands.
Of course, behind the absolute power, was absolute power.
If the Tianji Sword Lord was not strong enough, no matter how strong his words were, no one would listen to him.
At this time, in the air, three figures were shuttling swiftly like light. When they were about to reach the Taiyi Immortal Pavilion, they finally stopped.
These three people were none other than Qin Xuan, Lin Ru and Taiyi Daojun.
"Big Brother Lin, I'm afraid you have to find a place to hide. Why don't you come with me to None-beginning Palace?" Qin Xuan suggested: "If this were in None-beginning Palace, Tianji Sword Lord would definitely be apprehensive."
"That's right, the None-beginning Palace is a safe place." Taiyi Daojun also agreed, if there was anyone who could suppress Tianji Sword Lord, it would be him.
Lin Ru's eyes revealed a pondering look. After a long while, he finally nodded his head and agreed: "Then we will go to None-beginning Palace."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan and Taiyi Daojun revealed a faint smile.
Lin Ru looked at Taiyi Daojun, cupped his fists and said: "Senior, please take care of my servant, wait for me to come back from Haotian Island, then come and fetch her."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will take care of her and let her cultivate in Taiyi Immortal Pavilion. There won't be any big problems." Taiyi Daojun laughed and replied, "That girl's talent seems to be not bad. If she was supplemented with high-quality resources, her cultivation realm would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!"
"Then we shall meet again in the future." Lin Ru cupped his hands towards Taiyi Daojun, and Qin Xuan also cupped his fists towards Taiyi Daojun: "Senior, farewell."
After the three of them separated, Qin Xuan and Lin Ru proceeded towards the None-beginning Palace, while Taiyi Daojun returned back to the Taiyi Immortal Pavilion.
On the way, Lin Ru turned and asked Qin Xuan: "How did you know my plan?"
What you said to me that day made me feel that something was wrong. I faintly guessed that you were hiding something from me, and I ordered people to wait near the Tianji Palace. Qin Xuan looked at Lin Ru in puzzlement: "Why are you so anxious?"
Lin Ru revealed a bitter smile, and said softly: "Because, I don't have much time left."
Qin Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, as if he had heard something inconceivable. His gaze fixated on Lin Ru's face, and said. "What do you mean there's not much time left?"
"How do you think I was able to raise so many realms in several hundred years?" Lin Ru asked Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's heart trembled. Only after hearing Lin Ru's reminder, did he feel that something was amiss.
It had only been a few hundred years since the annihilation of the clan and at that time, the Big Brother Lin s only had the Peak Stage of the Emperor s but now, they had stepped into the realm of the Great Emperor.
"When I was traveling, I accidentally acquired an ancient cultivation technique. That cultivation technique has heaven-defying power, not only can it raise my cultivation level in a short period of time, it is also a great killing technique."
"However, after cultivating for a period of time, I learned that there is a downside to this technique. It is that while cultivating, one's own body will also be eroded by the technique. The stronger the power, the deeper the erosion."
"Right now, I can already feel that there isn't much time left for me. The life energy in my body is rapidly flowing away, but I deliberately hid it. That's why you can't see it." Lin Ru chuckled. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone revealed a faint sadness.
If it were not for revenge, he would not have been so anxious to achieve what he had achieved and fallen to his current state.
In the end, all of this was just what he got for himself.
In this life, there would be no hope for revenge.
