3 Blood Sword(3)

When Yue Wei was helping Ye Jing up. He pulled out a knife from his robe and held it across Yue Wei's neck while staring viciously at Bai Heng.

Everybody froze in shock, as they couldn't comprehend the scenario. After a few seconds the members of Quiet Moon Pavillion immediately raised their voice in anger and started to move, but they froze when they heard Ye Jing's hate filled voice. It was an acidic voice filled with hate and resentment: "DON'T MOVE. If you move I will kill her."

Yue Wei who was captured was shocked. She looked towards Ye Jing's face which was full of confidence before now looked like a viper's staring viciously at everybody. She was disillusioned instantly. 'Is this the same man who saved my life back then? Who took my first time? Who confidently told me that he would find me and make me his wife? Is this his true face?'

When everybody was still, They heard a person laughing uproariously like he saw the funniest thing in the world. They saw the white haired man laughing while holding his side.

"This is too funny. What am I seeing? First you try to sneak attack me and then you capture the person trying to save you. This is so funny. I can't stop laughing."(Bai Heng)

Everybody looked at Bai Heng like he had gone crazy and Ye Jing's face turned even darker.

"You humiliated me. I will make you pay. If you don't want her to die immediately kowtow to me"(Ye Jing)

Upon hearing this Bai Heng stopped laughing and looked at Ye Jing while smirking but at the same time everyone felt a chill spread around their surroundings and a massive killing intent was being projected.

Everyone saw a beautiful girl with white hair like the man step out from the Bai Clan's disciples.

Bai Xi looked at Ye Jing with menacing eyes while coldly replying:"Kill her. We do not care. Trash like you should just disappear. How dare you? Speak to Uncle this way."

As she said that the members of Quiet Moon Pavillion immediately shouted:"Don't kill her. Your Excellency Bai. Please save our senior sister"

The leader of the Blood Church and Lei Clan also urged him: "Fellow Daoist Bai. We cannot let her come to harm."

The Blood Church and Lei clan could not afford a war with the Pavillion due to this incident and hoped to compromise.

The temperature fell even further.

"If you want to save her. Then you should kowtow, my uncle is not some inferior beings like you. Even talking to you is a form of respect and you dare to ask him to kowtow."(Bai Xi)

At this time, Bai Heng suddenly raised his hand and patted Bai Xi's hair.

"Calm down, Bai Xi. Let me deal with it"(Bai Heng)

Bai Heng walked in front while smiling:"You want me to kowtow to you. Sure, no problem."

Ye Jing started smiling upon hearing this and said"Yes, Kowtow to me like I am your father. Otherwise, I will kill her."

Everyone saw the scene of Bai Heng slowly falling down and looked towards Ye Jing. They realized at that time, the depravity of Ye Jing. He forced a cultivator who dominated him in a fight after failing his sneak attack to kowtow to him, to save the person who begged for Ye Jing's life. All of them looked away from the scene as they could not bear to keep watching.

When they heard a casual voice speaking: "Well, it's over"

They looked up stupefied at the scene before them, Ye Jing's headless body was crashing towards the ground while Yue Wei was in Bai Heng arms, leaning on him with her whole body.

"W-what just happened?"

"Isn't obvious? I killed him like I said I would."(Bai Heng)

One person who saw what happened stammered out

"He rushed him at a fast speed and before Ye Jing could react his head was cut off."

'Is this actually possible? How strong is this man? A Venerated Immortal could not keep up with his speed at all.'

Bai Heng looked at Yue Wei who was dazed in his arms and smiled: "Little girl. I saved your life you are free to do what you want."

While everybody was looking Bai Heng walked towards the corpse picked up all the treasures and stored the corpse in his ring.

'What a short tempered kid. I even created a plan to steal the legacy treasure from him with no one finding out, but he attacked me and threw everything in disarray. Good thing, that his inferiority complex acted up and made him behave like a lunatic. Heh, I received the legacy treasure in a just manner, I wonder how much I can rip off from Soul Sect, if I tell them I have Ocean Emperor's soul's location.'

Bai Heng then looked towards a empty spot near his location before saying:

"Old man Gu, the pavilion owes me a favor this time. You can come out and comfort your prime disciple now."(Bai Heng)

As he was speaking, everyone could see streams of moonlight move to reveal a old man with an emaciated appearance in a silver robe. The old man sighed while looking at Bai Heng:

"After not seeing for some years, you have become even stronger and I am still stuck at the Tribulation Immortal level. This time, we owe you a favor. Thank you."(Old man Gu)

"Well the old fogies from the Lei clan and Blood Church are here. So let's start the competition."(Bai Heng)

As he said this, two more men appeared, who were releasing a mighty aura and nodded towards Bai Heng and Old man Gu.

Even though all of this occurred in front of them. None of the cultivators could see the faces of the three new people or even hear their conversation. As they were beginning process, the recent events. They saw the white haired youth walk out and point at the gate which opened up instantly and said: "Cultivators from sects are now allowed to enter."(Bai Heng)

Immediately all the disciples of the sect rushed into the gate. At this Bai Heng smiled at the vagrant cultivators and said: "Even though you will enter 30 minutes later. Don't feel bad as they will try to head to the core areas. All of you will pick up many treasures which those spoiled brats will ignore. If you are lucky, you may even catch up to them."

As he said this, the atmosphere around the vagrant cultivators eased and they started waiting patiently. When Bai Heng saw this, he smiled and thought:

'These people are so easily swayed by words. The true art of scamming is saying half truths and omitting information. So, even though I did not lie to them. The truly extraordinary treasures will have been picked clean by the earlier cultivators and other treasures which do not enter their eyes will be left behind.'

Afterwards, Bai Heng pulled out 4 tables and chairs and gestured to the three old men.

"Come. I managed to squeeze out wine from the clan. Let's enjoy ourselves while waiting for the results."

Upon hearing this, the old men immediately headed towards the table and started drinking while keeping watch. So that, no else can enter

30 minutes later, the vagrant cultivators were allowed entry and the man from Blood Church pulled a large mirror to monitor the situation inside the secret realm.

"Hmm.. Looks like our little brats have gained some good things."(Old man Gu)

"True, they are quite lucky, but the main part is still left. Aloysius, What do you think will happen? I don't believe your treasure can view the legacy site.(Bai Heng)

At this time, the man from Blood Church spoke up in a soft voice:

"Lots of vagrant cultivators will die. 80% chance of no one obtaining the legacy this time. The legacy site is being protected by a strong array. Not possible to view(Aloysius)

Upon hearing this, the old man from the Lei clan let out a laugh:

"I agree. I just hope the brats, don't act stupid and get themselves killed" (Lei Seven)

"Speaking of stupid, Old man Gu your prime disciple is too naive. You should replace her before she causes the pavilion any harm."(Bai Heng)

Old man Gu let out a long groan while staring at the sky:

"It's alright. It's a learning experience at least she will not act foolishly in the future."(Old man Gu)

"Bai Heng as always you are too extreme. All of us were stupid at some point but we learnt from that stupidity and reached our current position. The little lassie is still quite talented."(Lei Seven)

"Too arbitrary. Anyone can make mistakes; must be forgiving towards the younger generation."(Aloysius)

Bai Heng heard this and snorted while thinking

'Beautiful women are always a source of trouble. You should stay away from them to live a safe and happy life and if I really believe you guys want to protect that little girl then I should kill myself right now'

Bai Heng immediately changed the topic:

"Did you guys notice any good seeds? Personally I am not interested this time."(Bai Heng)

The other three men looked at Bai Heng and casually nodded without speaking. After all, they were still rivals and any potential disciples might be stolen or killed by the others at any time to limit the growth of the opposite faction.

'Haa.. So boring. I want to work on the Ocean Emperor's legacy. I might be able to gain new information. Even the ring in which he is living is quite weird, to actually be able to hide his soul inside it even right now I can't sense anything special about it.'

Bai Heng then looked towards a large fight between his clan disciples and the Lei clan:

"Hey Old Seven, Want to make a small bet on the result?(Bai Heng)

Seven looked at him with a tired expression:

"Aren't you nervous at all? Accidents can happen in such a chaotic fight."(Lei Seven)

Bai Heng looked at him and laughed:

"If they die, it means they are useless; Those who survive are the winner. Honor, reputation, pride and everything else is useless compared to life. And I am sure all of them are carrying some life saving treasures."(Bai Heng)

At this time Old man Gu who was only listening looked at Bai Heng and spoke up:

"There are things more important than your life. One cannot give up on some things even it means they die."

Bai Heng laughed again:

"In my opinion, survival is most important. Although, I respect those men who can die for their cause, I still feel they are foolish. Only when you survive can things change, upon death both you and your cause will be forgotten with time.(Bai Heng)

The other three looked at him and shook their heads. According to their memories, even when all of them were young and weak. Bai Heng had stuck to his thoughts and never changed. He would never care about anything else and strive to survive even when he was in harsh conditions.

Suddenly Bai Heng looked at them seriously and spoke in their minds:

"It looks like the war is about to begin again. It has been 6000 years since the previous one. A lot of people of will die. I had hoped this would not happen again. Are your factions ready?"(Bai Heng)

The other three men looked at him with grave expressions

"At that time, We were still weak and were not part of the front lines but the war was a catastrophe. All my friends were dead before I knew it. I too wish for the wars to stop."(Aloysius)

"This does not matter. The fate of all the three realms depend on us. We cannot back down, the wars have been occurring before our times. We cannot let our ancestors down. Our factions have been preparing for a long time. I just hope the losses are better than before."(Old man Gu)

Seven just looked at them without replying

Bai Heng was also thinking about the war. In this world, there were once four realms: 'The Beast Realm, The Jade Realm, The Water realm and The Mortal Realm. These realms were all connected and cultivators could travel to any of these realms. At that time, there was a large sect called the Brilliant Light Sect in the Mortal Realm who lived in seclusion. They were known for their ideals of justice and kind nature. One of these beliefs was of a world filled with order, where everybody could lead happy lives without fighting. To fulfill this belief, they tried their best but unfortunately, cultivators would always fight either to advance, for resources and even for fun.

Their dreams were always shattered. Among them, there was a genius called Morning Star who saw the cruel reality of the world and undertook research into the soul to create a perfect being as he believed all the existing races were flawed. The shocking fact was he succeeded, he converted a person into his desired perfect being. Immediately, the news spread and Morning Star who had also been converted, offered everybody them the conversion. The conversion would give them strength and make them truly perfect. Due to the reputation of the Brilliant Light Sect, a lot of people agreed and converted.

Eventually something happened, which shattered the perfect dream. The Saints as everybody called them, started a massacre. All the imperfect beings in Morning Star's eyes were cruelly killed or converted. The saints had an immense advantage in strength and coordination as they were beings of order. The Mortal Realm was torn asunder and everybody who could flee; Escaped. Ever since then, the other three realms would wage wars against the saints, to prevent extinction of the intelligent races of this world. The war had been raging on, and people were sacrificed continuously.

Bai Heng had also wanted to prevent this war when he was young. He captured many saints and tore apart their souls to reverse them back to human. Instead, he found the shock of his life. The saints had really created a society where they was no fighting as whether they were happy, that was no longer an option. All activities by saints were assigned from their occupation, marriage partner, number of children everything. They lived like machines without any emotions. To be perfectly fair, Morning Star created a large treasure based on the beliefs of his sect and assimilated the souls of his entire sect into it, the treasure would make decisions based on the beliefs inside it. It was the perfect and orderly society, everyone wished for.

Upon seeing this information, Bai Heng immediately sealed his memories and made no mention of them to anybody.

As he was thinking about this, suddenly they felt a huge tremor. Immediately all four of them stood up and rushed into the realm. They felt with their senses that the realm was about to collapse because someone had actually succeeded in obtaining the legacy.
