Chapter 60 News from Yi Yuan (Part 1)

In the afternoon, in the Tianxuan Cave, Master Xuyu has been in discussion with the other five sect leaders for quite some time. After lengthy deliberations, the six sects have reached a basic agreement.

At this moment, Master Xuyu glanced at everyone and said, "Do any of the sect leaders have anything else to add? If not, I think we can conclude it here. What do you all think?" His gaze swept across the assembly, pausing momentarily on Master Faguo from the Bodhi Academy, seemingly questioning something.

Master Faguo, catching the implication in Master Xuyu's gaze, glanced at the others before focusing on Masters Li Changchun and Liu Xinghun. He then softly said, "The conference has come to a satisfactory conclusion, and we have mostly reached an agreement on how to deal with the demons and monsters in the future. However, I have a small matter to inquire about with Master Li, which pertains to the Heavenly Sword Sect. I hope Master Li won't take offense."

Li Changchun, though feeling somewhat uneasy, maintained a calm demeanor and replied, "Please, Master, speak your mind. I will do my best to answer what I know. If it's something I'm not aware of, I can only apologize."

After exchanging a glance with the other four sect leaders, Master Faguo continued, "Here's the situation: we want to ask about the disciple in black attire from your sect, the one you call Wu Xin. Have you noticed anything about the techniques he practices? Our request is simple, we just hope that the Heavenly Sword Sect can keep a closer eye on him, to prevent any unforeseen incidents in the future."

Li Changchun's expression shifted slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Liu Xinghun. Both of them were taken aback by the unexpected question. Looking at the others, Li Changchun spoke in a firm tone, "Master, please be direct. If there's anything, just say it outright. There's no need to beat around the bush." Master Faguo, upon hearing this, glanced at the others and began to ponder slightly.

On the side, Master Qixuan took over the conversation, "We've known each other for many years, so I'll be straightforward. During the recent competition for the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, both Black Lotus and the Demonic Fairy mentioned the technique displayed by Wu Xin. It's the long-lost 'Shadow Flowing Light' technique. I suppose Li Changchun might not be fully aware of this. Of course, I believe everyone understands the potential consequences of practicing such a technique. We don't want to dwell too much on this matter now. Our only request is for Brother Changchun to assure us that if Wu Xin ever engages in any actions detrimental to the world, the Heavenly Sword Sect will take responsibility and handle the matter." After speaking, he glanced at Master Xuyu, seemingly implying something.

Li Changchun's expression changed, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "I'm indeed not fully aware of this matter. Wu Xin has been cultivating in the back mountains for over ten years now. He has rarely come down to the front mountains, so my encounters with him have been limited. However, since this matter has been brought up, I will thoroughly investigate it. If it's true, I promise to all of you here that the Heavenly Sword Sect will take full responsibility for any incidents involving him in the future. I will ensure strict discipline, so you can rest assured."

"With Brother Changchun's assurance, I believe everyone will be reassured. Now, it's getting late. If there's nothing else to discuss, let's adjourn." After scanning the room and seeing no further comments, Master Xuyu was the first to rise and head out of the cave.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Mount Taixuan, a sword-wielding youth suddenly appeared. This young man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, had an average appearance, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of brilliance, indicating decent cultivation. At this moment, the youth wore a look of urgency and seriousness as he glanced at the mountaintop, hastily sheathed his sword, and swiftly employed his lightness technique, soaring into the sky along the mountain's slope.

Before long, the youth encountered a disciple guarding the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain. Upon meeting, the youth hurriedly approached and paid his respects, asking, "Hello, senior brother. I am Chen Guang, a disciple of the Qian Pavilion under the Western Shu's Yi Garden. I have urgent matters to discuss with our sect leader, Master Xuyu. Could you please help me find him?"

The disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, upon hearing this, snorted coldly and replied, "Yi Garden? Hmph, whatever. Just follow this path upwards, ask about the Heavenly Fire Cave, and you'll find out." With that, he turned away, no longer paying attention to Chen Guang. Chen Guang was taken aback, not understanding why he was treated this way. Though feeling a bit aggrieved, he said nothing, merely expressing his thanks before flying up the path.

After enduring some inquiries and a bit of mistreatment, Chen Guang, with a mixture of confusion and resentment, finally arrived at the Heavenly Fire Cave. Glancing at the entrance, Chen Guang was about to enter when Master Jingyue walked out. Immediately, he exclaimed, "Master uncle, it's me, Chen Guang! You're really here. I've been searching for you everywhere."

Master Jingyue, upon seeing Chen Guang, was surprised. "Why are you here? Did something happen at Yi Garden? Quickly, follow me inside, and we'll talk."

Once inside the cave, Chen Guang noticed that, except for Master Xuyu and Master Ziyang, everyone else was present. Everyone was delighted to see Chen Guang. Lin Yunfeng, in particular, was enthusiastic, grabbing his hand and laughing, "You're a senior brother from the Qian Pavilion. That's fantastic! We have some good news to tell you. Sit down, and I'll tell you all about it."

Seeing the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Guang couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What happened? Why are you all so happy? And why did all those disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect treat me so poorly when I came up the mountain? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfeng cursed loudly, "Those lowly dogs with their eyes on the ground. Next time they come to our Yi Garden, I'll show them! Forget about them for now. Let me tell you, this time, we at Yi Garden took the first place and became the leader of the six sects. Right now, our sect leader is discussing important matters with the other five sect leaders. How about that? Surprised? Haha, we're ecstatic! Finally, we've managed to suppress that arrogant Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chen Guang was stunned upon hearing this, his whole body trembling with shock. But soon, that shock turned into immense joy. Jumping up, he grabbed Lin Yunfeng's arm, asking excitedly, "Really? You're not joking with me, are you? That's fantastic! If Master and Master Uncle find out about this, they'll be overjoyed. Haha

, this is incredible! No wonder those people from the Heavenly Sword Sect looked unhappy when they saw me. So, we've taken the first place and pushed them down. That's truly satisfying!"
