Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 316: Chapter 163: A Century-Old Knot, Successor Disciple (Part 2)

At this moment, everyone’s faces revealed joy.

Looking at these people, Chen Ping understood.

Why, when climbing the mountain earlier, there was no sight of the Primordial Mountain disciples; it was quiet everywhere, not even a few sweepers could be seen.

At that time, feeling the presence of experts’ Qi mechanisms, he passed by without much thought.

Thinking back now, it must be that deep within the Ancestor Master Cave, the Grandmaster Granny’s life force was nearing its end, so the Primordial Sect chose outstanding disciples to inherit the supreme arts.

Most likely, there was also the intention to inherit the Grandmaster Granny’s lifelong cultivation.

Because, according to the news Chen Ping heard, the current Grandmaster Granny Muu Yunshang, after conflicting actions in a battle against the fifth-generation ancestor, secluded herself in the Ancestor Master Cave, no longer caring about sect affairs.

This is also near death, only then having the servant boys send out word, presumably not wanting her Grandmaster Realm cultivation to dissipate into Heaven and Earth with her.

Thinking this way, at that time, the Dharma Aspect Sect’s Tang Lin’er was hidden and elusive, clearly not wanting to deceive any of the Primordial Sect elders present.

But rather wanted to deceive the Grandmaster Granny nearing her life’s end within the Ancestor Master Cave.

"He wants to launch a sneak attack? Could it be, he believes his cultivation strength can surpass levels and fight against the Primordial Sect’s Grandmaster Realm Grandmaster Granny, and calculated that Muu Yunshang would appear at the final moment of the Primordial Lineage disciples’ defeat?"

"It’s not impossible, if it’s an extremely old Grandmaster at the initial stage, being sneak attacked by the top of the Earth List in their prime, it’s very likely they would be injured.

Even when fighting with full effort, the life force consumption could be too rapid, possibly accelerating death.

And that Dharma Aspect Sect’s new leader has practiced such bizarre martial arts as ’Brahma and I are One’, which can transfer damage.

Regular heavy blows, a few moves, wouldn’t really kill him.

So, his tactics could very possibly succeed, and might even achieve the feat of defeating a Grandmaster.

With an unrivaled momentum, directly breaking through the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, becoming a Grandmaster, ascending heaven in a single step."

"Moreover, this battle eliminates the sect’s great enemy, avenging a century-old feud for the master, adding fame, skyrocketing cultivation, and upon returning to the Dharma Aspect Sect, surely gaining control, coupled with Beizhou’s unification action, perhaps achieving significant deeds."

"Excellent calculation, excellent scheme."

These thoughts brewed in Chen Ping’s mind as he extended his sense and divine thoughts into the cave, discovering that the passage inside only had maids, servants, and the like with low martial arts skills, young and old.

Yet didn’t feel any strong Qi mechanism, uncertain if the dying Grandmaster Granny hadn’t arrived, or if the opponent’s technique for hiding Qi was superior, unnoticeable to him.

...

"Master, are these Seven Stars Meridian disciples..." Sima Rou hesitated slightly, stepping forward to propose.

Thinking inwardly that the mountain below was in need of people.

The Changkong Martial Arts Hall’s Seven-Star Sword Meridian disciples had fully returned in allegiance; even her own disciple learned the Seven-Star Sword, attempting to solve the issue of personality alteration due to Star-Attracting Power Infusion.

Seeing that it was about to be resolved.

The old taboo seems nonexistent now.

Could it be possible to forcefully subdue these Seven Stars Meridian disciples, assimilate them for use? Of course, those with Primordial disciple’s bloodshed cannot be retained, they must be carefully discerned and subdued.

Uncertain if this suggestion is timely.

A long-faced, black-bearded old man leaped out, coldly said: "The ten are doomed without pardon...

Seven Stars Meridian dared to defy the ancestral taboo from that era, publicly practicing forbidden technique, and this time plotting to inherit the Grandmaster Granny’s legacy, truly unforgivable."

This person was precisely the Third Elder Cui Shihong, earlier fought with Seven Stars Meridian Elder Xiao Ming to a draw.

He appeared fiery by nature, even amidst the favorable situation, his eyes were as if flaming, staring at Xiao Ming, with muscles taut, not relaxing a bit.

"Junior Cui is right, Xiaorou, you rest aside, this matter concerns the Primordial Mountain’s honor.

The uncles and ancestors probably want to see us resolve this today, must personally clean the sect for perfection."

The Primordial Lineage Sect Leader Sunx Yun sternly said, while speaking to Sima Rou, he actually referred to Chen Ping.

This formidable disciple-grandson had greatly boosted his prestige.

However, Sunx Yun didn’t wish to overlook decades to centuries of grudges, opting for a life-and-death struggle with the Seven Stars Meridian, even reluctant to have Chen Ping intervene.

"Master, have you read those letters?"

Sima Rou’s heart sank slightly, feeling worry and anxiety.

"Read them..."

Sunx Yun hesitated, then sighed: "I don’t mind how you act below the mountain, after all the disciples accepted, including your precious daughter, haven’t ascended the mountain, haven’t bowed to the ancestor, temporarily not considered true transmission of the sect.

They do not need to strictly adhere to the ancestral taboo, some things if done are done.

But we are different, as long as the taboo exists, it cannot be treated as if not existing, what happened cannot be treated as never happened."

Saying this, Sunx Yun no longer hesitated.

Turning to Chen Ping with a smile: "This time, please, General Chen, just observe, do not intervene, this is an internal matter, let us handle it ourselves."

"The ancestor’s words are right, as commanded."

Chen Ping replied with a smile, seemingly without any dissatisfaction.

His hearing was exceptional. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Though Sima Rou and Sunx Yun spoke quietly, he had already heard them clearly.

Turns out the elders didn’t ignore the letters, but received them, yet took no notice, not even replying once, evidently considering the proposal absurd.
