Translator: 549690339

Xue Jianfeng’s primary mission this time was to execute the traitor Bing Wuqing. But now, not only was Bing Wuqing not dead, he had been forced to cripple one of his arms. How was he going to explain this when he returned?

“Hmph, Lin Yi can’t stay here forever-I’ll lay low until he leaves, and then I’ll deal with that dead face and Lengleng!” Xue Jianfeng gritted his teeth. He was extremely unwilling, but in front of Lin Yi’s power, he could only choose to live.

However, before Xue Jianfeng could recuperate, a powerful aura from the top of the mountain had enveloped him. Xue Jianfeng’s heart suddenly trembled. This aura was even stronger than his. It seemed that this person was at least in the middle stage of the original level. No, it should be at the peak of the middle stage of the original level!

“Yu Taicang?” After seeing the appearance of the person, Xue Jianfeng almost blurted out. This person was the Grand Elder Yu Taicang. But wasn’t this old man always in seclusion? why did he suddenly come out?

“A nascent soul old monster? Who are you, to dare break into the forbidden grounds of snow sword sect?” Yu Taicang was equally shocked when he felt the other party’s aura. His first reaction was that snow sword sect had been invaded and had even been exterminated. After all, the other party had even sent out a nascent soul old monster. It was definitely a situation where one would not rest until one of them was dead. In the entire snow sword sect, who else could deal with a nascent soul old monster other than him?

However, after being stunned for a moment, Yu Taicang quickly reacted that the person in front of him was not an outsider. After all, Xue Jianfeng was once the representative figure of the snow sword sect disciples. He, as the Grand Elder, had also seen him several times, so it was not possible for him to not recognize him at all.

“Elder Yu, you’ve come out of seclusion?” Xue Jianfeng also reacted and quickly changed his words. His strength could only be regarded as the bottom among the same level of early Yuanying stage, but the person in front of him was a real master of the middle Yuanying stage, how could he dare to show the slightest disrespect?

“You are Xue Jianfeng? What was going on? How did you suddenly become a peak early Yuanying stage expert?” Yu Taicang’s face was full of confusion. In less than two years, he went from the great circle of the Foundation Stage to the peak of the early stage of the nascent Soul Stage. This kind of thing really subverted the world view, and ordinary people couldn’t accept it.

“It’s a long story. There are some opportunities and fortuitous encounters that ordinary people can’t imagine. Of course, the most important thing is that I rely on my own super talent. I’ll tell you more about this in detail later, elder Yu.” Xue Jianfeng said lightly.

“Super talent?” Yu Taicang didn’t hide his suspicions at all. Xue Jianfeng’s talent was indeed not bad, but in his eyes, it was Far From Heaven-defying; at least, he couldn’t be compared to Bing Wuqing. What kind of heaven-defying opportunity had this kid obtained?

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Elder Yu, our snow sword sect is in big trouble!” Xue Jianfeng’s eyes rolled as he pretended to be anxious.

“What big trouble?” Yu Taicang was originally prepared to question him further, but his attention was immediately diverted. He looked at Xue Jianfeng’s left arm and said in a deep voice,”You were injured?”

To be able to injure Xue Jianfeng, an existence at the peak of the early Yuanying stage, his strength was absolutely not to be underestimated. If he was not careful, he might be in danger of being exterminated.

“Yes, the one who injured me was the new Taigu great uncle-master of the green cloud sect on the North Island. This man is called Lin Yi, and he colluded with our snow sword sect’s traitorous disciples, Leng Leng and Bing Wuqing. Not only did he wait for an opportunity to injure me, but he also controlled the entire sect from the inside and outside!” Xue Jianfeng took this opportunity to fan the flames. His plan was simple-since he couldn’t beat Lin Yi, he might as well provoke this peak mid-stage nascent soul Yu Taicang to come out. It would be great if he won, but there was no loss if he lost.

“There’s actually such a thing!” As expected, Yu Taicang fell for it and immediately flew into a rage. Someone actually dared to collude with a traitorous disciple to control snow sword sect, this kind of thing could be tolerated, but could it be intolerable?

However, without waiting for Xue Jianfeng to be happy, Yu Taicang’s anger immediately subsided. He sized him up and said in an unpredictable tone, “You’re not lying to this old master, are you?”

“How can this be? With elder Yu’s wisdom, you only need to go down and walk around to know whether what I said is true or false. What’s the point of me lying to you here?” Xue Jianfeng said without changing his expression.

“Is that so?” Yu Taicang was skeptical. After all, he was an old monster who had become a cunning old man. No matter how well Xue Jianfeng controlled his expression, he couldn’t hide some extremely subtle flaws. However, Yu Taicang could feel that his words were half true and half false. At least one thing was certain-that Lin Yi from the Qingyun sect of the North Island must be very powerful, or he wouldn’t be able to hurt Xue Jianfeng’s arm.

“It’s true. If this goes on, our snow sword sect will fall into the hands of outsiders. You can’t just ignore this stabilizing force!” Xue Jianfeng quickly advised.

“Even if what you said is true, I’m afraid that I’m still helpless.” Yu Taicang laughed bitterly. Normally, when he heard these words, he would definitely go down the mountain to verify whether they were true or false, but now was really not the time.

“Uh …” Xue Jianfeng choked. He wasn’t that naive to think that he could fool Yu Taicang with just a few words. In his plan, as soon as Yu Taicang went down the mountain, he would definitely fight with Lin Yi after meeting him. After all, it was a fact that Lin Yi was involved in the internal affairs of the snow sword sect, and it was also a fact that he colluded with Leng Leng and Bing Wuqing. Any one of these two things would be an unforgivable crime in the eyes of the sect leaders!

“W-why?” Xue Jianfeng asked unwillingly. It was rare for a helper to come to his door, so he didn’t want to let him go easily.

“Because this old man has just come out of seclusion.” Yu Taicang glanced at him.

“Isn’t this just right? it’s a good time for elder Yu to move your hands and feet, and let everyone see your newly increased strength?” Xue Jianfeng did not give up.

“The problem is that I failed this time. Not only did I fail to advance to the next level, but I also suffered a heavy backlash …” Yu Taicang shook his head with a bitter smile. He had been in seclusion for three years and had put in a lot of effort. His goal was to break through to the late-stage of the nascent soul realm. However, the result was that he was injured and suffered a backlash, which was really depressing.

He’d never met Lin Yi face to face before, but if the guy was able to cripple Xue Jianfeng’s left arm, then he must be at least mid-stage of nascent soul. He might not be able to gain the upper hand in his current state, and might even suffer a huge loss!

The older a person was, the more they cherished their life. Yu Taicang was a typical example. Unless it was a last resort, he would never take any risk.

“Uh …” Xue Jianfeng didn’t know what to say.
