“Blade Sect’s leader is indeed knowledgeable!” Fawn Hale was slightly surprised and continued speaking. “I haven’t shown up in the martial arts world for many years, and I didn’t expect you to recognize me at a glance. I truly admire it!”
“That’s because you have a great reputation. It’s hard not to recognize you!” Ronald Blade smiled and continued.
“There are rumors that you joined Cerulean Abyss Institute twenty years ago, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true!”
“Are you here today representing Cerulean Abyss Institute?” Ian spoke in a deep voice when he heard this. He was well aware of the grievances between Cerulean Abyss Institute and Billy, which made him have no good feelings towards Cerulean Abyss Institute. Moreover, he finally confirmed his speculation that among the people planning to attack Blade Sect this time, there must be individuals from Cerulean Abyss Institute!
“Presumptuous! Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?” The gray-robed man behind the graceful fortune teller pointed at Ian and responded coldly.
“Fool!” Ian glanced at the man.
“You…” The man in the gray robe frowned.
“Enough!” Needlework Sorceress waved her hand to interrupt his words. Then, she looked at Ronald Blade again. “Mr Ronald Blade, it seems that Blade Sect is not very welcoming to me, this guest?”
“You’re being too serious. A guest is a guest, and you are welcome!” Ronald Blade smiled lightly and made a gesture of invitation. “How about sitting inside? Our old master is dealing with some matters and will come out soon.”
“No, thanks!” The graceful fortune teller waved her hand. “I came here today for one thing, and I’ll leave after it’s done.”
“I wonder what you’re referring to?” Ronald Blade continued with a faint smile.
“Cerulean Abyss Institute intends to form an alliance with Blade Sect. I wonder how you feel about it?” Fawn Hale spoke.
“Sorry, we cannot form an alliance with Cerulean Abyss Institute. Our paths are different. Please leave!” Before Ronald could speak, Ian spoke again in a stern tone.
“Master Ian, my master is talking to your father. Can you not interrupt?” Pandora Salazar frowned.
“The people from Cerulean Abyss Institute should be brought in by your family, right?” Ian responded coldly. “Blade Sect also doesn’t welcome people from the Salazar family. Leave!”
“You…” Pandora was furious.
“Pandora!” Homer Salazar stopped hid daughter and then turned to Ronald Blade. “Ronald, Madam Hale came with full sincerity this time. I hope you can consider it carefully! As the saying goes, chaos will eventually lead to peace, and peace will eventually lead to chaos. In the martial arts world, we will soon enter a turbulent period! Although Blade Sect’s strength is still good, in the eyes of true powerhouses, it is still too weak. A little turbulence will capsize the boat. And the strength of Cerulean Abyss Institute, you should not need me to say more, right? If Blade Sect can form an alliance with Cerulean Abyss Institute, it is like having an extra insurance, isn’t it?”
“Thanks for your kindness, Homer!” Ronald Blade smiled. “However, Blade Sect has always had a tradition. We don’t easily get involved in disputes in the martial arts world, nor do we form cliques with other forces. So, I’m afraid we have to disappoint your kindness!”
“Humph!” The gray-robed man on the other side snorted and walked out from behind Needlework Sorceress. “We, Cerulean Abyss Institute, took the initiative to propose an alliance with Blade Sect, which is giving face to you. Don’t be ungrateful…”
Ian’s wrist turned, and a cold light flashed as the blade was swung.
“You’re seeking death!” The man’s brows furrowed. While speaking, the ancient sword in his hand drew out a sword energy to block the attack.
After their attacks collided, they each retreated four or five steps before stabilizing.
“Hmm?” The man’s pupils slightly contracted, obviously not expecting Ian to force him back several steps. He had heard from Pandora Salazar before that Ian Blade was in the mid-stage of War Emperor, and he himself had already reached the strength of a half-step War God-Emperor. Naturally, he didn’t take Ian Blade seriously.
“That was a warning. If you dare to make a move again, you’ll die!” Ian coldly glanced at the man.
“Master Ian, Lee just deliberately went easy on you. Don’t go too far!” Pandora frowned slightly.
“You’re ignorant!” Ian replied coldly. “If you want to make a move, you can join him!”
“You…” Pandora’s face darkened.
“Pandora!” Homer Salazar stopped her again and looked at Ronald Blade. “Ronald, you should control Ian. He is so ignorant that he will suffer sooner or later!”
“Young people, a bit of confidence is normal, isn’t it?” Ronald Blade smiled.
“Since Mr Blade is so confident, then Lee, you should learn from Master Ian!” Needlework Sorceress squinted and said.
“Received!” Lee responded in a deep voice and looked at Ian. “Please!”
“I’ll give you a warning. If you stop now, it’s not too late. Otherwise, you probably won’t make it back this time!” Ian said coldly.
“Really arrogant!” Lee said coldly and then looked at Ronald Blade.
“Blade Sect leader, I want to make it clear first. Swords and blades have no eyes. If I can’t control myself later…”
“Don’t talk nonsense. We will fight, life or death!” Ian interrupted him.
“Very well!” A bright light flashed in Lee’s eyes, as if he had been waiting for this response. After a brief pause, he continued, “The space here is limited. Let’s go to your martial arena!”
“No need to bother. Anyway, it’s just a matter of one strike. It doesn’t matter where we go!” Ian spoke indifferently.
Clive Blade was choked by the side because of Ian’s words.
This should all be influenced by Commander Gardner, right?
This time, when Ian returned to Blade Sect from the outside, he almost bit his tongue off when he learned about Ian’s actual cultivation. In just a few months, Ian had already broken through to the small accomplishment realm of War God-Emperor.
In the past few months, Clive Blade, with the help of the old master and the abundant cultivation resources in the sect, barely broke through to the great accomplishment realm of War God-Emperor.
“You are the ignorant one!” Pandora stared at Ian disdainfully.
In her opinion, Ian’s actions were simply seeking death. A War Emperor in the middle stage actually dared to be so arrogant. It was truly laughable!
“You’re the most ignorant person I’ve ever seen!” Lee’s eyes flashed with cold light. “Since you want to court death, I’ll fulfill your wish!” While speaking, he lifted his foot and walked to the open space beside the pavilion. Then, he drew a long sword.
“Come on, I’ll let you know how insignificant you are!”
“Alright!” Ian gripped a three-foot-long blade and walked to a spot about forty or fifty steps away from Lee. “I’ll give you some advice. It’s best to give it your all, because you won’t have a second chance!”
“As you wish!” Lee snorted, then rushed towards Ian, and the momentum on his body instantly exploded. As he charged, he flipped his wrist, and the long sword in his hand created countless sword energies in the air. In no time, the sword energies converged into an extremely sharp sword net, rushing towards Ian. With the cultivation of a half-step War God-Emperor, his full-strength attack was quite impressive. The air was filled with the sharp sound of breaking wind.
On the side, Needlework Sorceress and Homer Salazar showed a faint smile on their faces. As for Pandora Salazar, she looked at Ian, who remained motionless, with a face full of disdain. For her, this Blade Sect Young Master had reached the end of his life.
However, the expressions of the three people couldn’t maintain for long. They all stiffened simultaneously.
