Chapter 447: Wait for Death

“Second Brother, I know all that, but this time, I insist on taking him for a drink. I’m standing with him, so just stay out of it,” the Third Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect said firmly.

“You! Have you gone completely senile!” the Second Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect snapped, furious.

“Second Brother, you just can’t see the situation clearly. Brother Chu Feng isn’t alone—doesn’t he have the Celestial Sword Sect behind him? I don’t need to tell you how powerful the Celestial Sword Sect Leader is. Besides, we’ve never been on good terms with the Spirit Sword Valley. That bunch of crones is always flaunting their status and acting insufferably arrogant.”

The Third Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect said with conviction, this time utterly determined to stand with Chu Feng.

The Spirit Sword Valley’s methods were truly infuriating; they relied on their women, marrying them into numerous Major Sects to bolster their own strength.

Anyone who crossed the Spirit Sword Valley would be “dealt with” by people they hired.

As a result, many Sects were deeply dissatisfied with the Spirit Sword Valley, even viewing them with hostility.

But there was nothing to be done. After all, those people were just too powerful.

Although the Spirit Sword Valley itself wasn’t the strongest Sect, their web of connections was overwhelming. The moment trouble started, they could summon allies from all over.

An ordinary, solitary Sect stood no chance against them. If a conflict arose, they would be the only ones to suffer a loss.

That was why the Spirit Sword Valley was, in fact, widely despised.

There was a reason people called it a den of harlots.

“Sigh… Fine, fine. We’ll do it your way,” said the Second Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect. “When the time comes, if something really happens, we’ll do what needs to be done.”

He was at a loss for what to say about his Third Brother. ‘What’s done is done. It’s too late for explanations.’

‘All they could do was see this through to the end and take a gamble. Who knew? They might just win.’

He sighed to himself. ‘His Third Brother, usually so level-headed, had started running with Chu Feng the moment the tournament ended.’

‘He truly hadn’t seen this coming. Not once had he ever considered such a thing.’

“Hmph. Let them come. If they dare, I won’t hold back,” the Third Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect said. He was now fully committed to fighting on the same side as Chu Feng.

“Heh.” At that moment, Xue Fengjian shot a cold glare at the members of the Celestial Mountain Sect, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

Then, Xue Fengjian continued, “Third Elder of the Celestial Mountain Sect, you’ve got some nerve, drinking with a dead man walking. Aren’t you afraid of bringing disaster upon your Sect?”

“Xue Fengjian, what the hell are you babbling about? Who do you think you are? When did the Celestial Mountain Sect’s business become yours to meddle in?” the Celestial Mountain Sect’s Third Elder, Tian Xuan, retorted angrily.

He didn’t give a damn about some Xue Fengjian from the Snow Sword Sect. If someone dared talk to him that way, he’d fire back without hesitation.

“Tian Xuan, it seems the Celestial Mountain Sect has an itch that needs scratching. Looks like we’ll have to loosen your bones for you. Just you wait!” Xue Fengjian said menacingly. After spitting out this threat, he turned and left.

“Heh heh, that Xue Fengjian really has some nerve. His brother just died, and he’s already back here making threats against the Celestial Mountain Sect. He’s truly courting death,” Tian Xuan sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.

He didn’t take the so-called Snow Sword Sect seriously in the slightest. Towards people like that, he felt not a shred of fear.

“Exactly! His own Sect is on the brink of annihilation, and he still has the gall to talk about ‘loosening our bones’? If you’ve got the guts, come on over! We’ll loosen your bones first,” the Celestial Mountain Sect’s Second Elder, Tian Ling, added angrily.

Although he was unhappy with his third brother, Celestial Profound Elder, for siding with Chu Feng…

…it didn’t mean he would let an outsider bully and disrespect the Celestial Mountain Sect.

“Brother Chu Feng, let’s go get that drink! If anyone dares to make a move, we’ll chop them to pieces,” Celestial Profound Elder said with a laugh, his words brimming with dominance.

“Alright,” Chu Feng said with a nod. ‘He had nothing else going on anyway, so he might as well have some fun.’

Afterward, Chu Feng led Su Miaoke into the Northern Venerable Hall. As it happened, Venerable Xue Feng was there.

So, when the man saw Chu Feng, his face fell, stretching out long like a horse’s.

When Chu Feng saw Venerable Xue Feng, he actually smiled and greeted him.

‘After all, the man was his best customer. He had lost so many Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones to him that Chu Feng wouldn’t have to worry about his Cultivation for a long, long time.’

Although Venerable Xue Feng’s expression was grim upon seeing Chu Feng, he was also pondering whether it was time to pick a side, and whether that side should be the Spirit Sword Valley’s.

This was because Chu Feng was from the Celestial Sword Sect, and both the Snow Mountain Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect were Sects from the Great Snow Mountain.

Normally, the relationship between the Snow Mountain Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect was quite good; at the very least, they had never been on bad terms. That was why he was hesitating. He had no desire to become a stepping stone for the Spirit Sword Valley or to be used as a weapon in another’s hand.

“Sect Leader, the Spirit Sword Valley is demanding we pick a side and deal with Chu Feng together. What is your decision?”
