Chapter 853 - 856: You Live Long Enough to See Everything

Who dares not respond to Yang Tianzi?

General Zhan Sha nodded, saying, "We have come here hoping to meet the Ancestor of Blood Refinement."

"Want to meet the senior?" Yang Tianzi was curious.

What do Zhan Sha and the others want to do by meeting the senior?

The senior is his daughter’s savior. He’s also her godfather.

He couldn’t ignore this.

"We wish to form an alliance with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, to become allies." Zhan Sha dared not deceive Yang Tianzi, so he directly stated his purpose: "The Three Realms are in turmoil, the Law Enforcers have all left for unknown reasons, making it the perfect time for our Azure Empire to conquer the Three Realms. We hope to ally with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement to deal with Wu Tian, the biggest protector of the Three Realms today."

Master Li the Fortune Teller and Miaoshan were not pleased.

"So that’s how it is." Yang Tianzi nodded. The Azure Empire, confined to a small island, had long been discontented. Yet their strength was only five stars, incapable of entering the mainland.

Thus, the Azure Empire wants to seize the resources of the Three Realms, hoping thereby to become a Six Stars power and gain the right to reside on the mainland.

At this moment, a disdainful voice emerged from among the sect disciples,

"Why do you think you can form an alliance with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement?"

From the many sect disciples, outsiders might think it was one of them speaking.

But Yang Tianzi and others knew it was the Ancestor of Blood Refinement who spoke.

"I believe he will definitely form an alliance with me because of the phrase ’kindred spirits’." Zhan Sha furrowed his brows as he answered,

At this time, with Yang Tianzi and others present, one of the disciples of the Willow Sect dared to speak freely, indicating that this person had a high status in the Willow Sect.

Zhan Sha thought of Liu Qing. He had heard that Liu Qing was the most outstanding young person in the Willow Sect.

Although Zhan Sha had never met Liu Qing, among the disciples who dared to speak first, only Liu Qing had the qualifications.

Zhan Sha was perplexed; what does this have to do with Liu Qing, and what qualifications does he have to speak?

Moreover, Zhan Sha was confident about forming an alliance with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

The phrase ’kindred spirits’ also originated from the stories told by the Wutian Celestial Emperor, where he narrated tales of being evenly matched and mutual appreciation.

He believed that talented people, those with talent, could connect with others of talent.

He, Zhan Sha, and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement forming an alliance!

This is as certain as nails on iron.

"I think some words shouldn’t be spoken too early, or else face-slapping afterward will be spectacular." Wu Tian continued to remind,

It’s like playing games in Earth City; some folks claim they’ll win easily,

but end up losing.

At that time, how spectacular it will be is how spectacular it is.

"Please don’t talk nonsense, alright?" Zhan Sha hadn’t spoken much, and the Seahorse General beside him was furious. Zhan Sha was his belief, how could he be spoken of like this?

He chuckled, "Though you are a Willow Sect disciple, you shouldn’t speak recklessly, for it could damage Sect Master Yang Tianzi’s reputation if spread. My Great General is a person of talent, and so is the Ancestor of Blood Refinement. The two are certainly kindred spirits. This is perhaps akin to the Yu and Liang dynamic mentioned by the Wutian Celestial Emperor in the past. Heh, they can be friends, and very good ones at that."

"Alright, that’s enough." General Zhan Sha interrupted the Seahorse General, sighing as he muttered: "I haven’t met the Ancestor of Blood Refinement yet, but I feel we might become confidants. This feeling is true ’kindred spirits’; laymen wouldn’t understand, so there’s no point talking about it."

In his view, others simply wouldn’t understand this feeling. For they’re mere mortals.

In the realm between heaven and earth, Zhan Sha thought how few talents like him and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement existed, truly too few. To outsiders and laymen,

their words and actions were absurd and incomprehensible.

With that being the case, there’s no point in saying more.

..."You all..." Watching this scene, Yang Tianzi sighed.

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement, who had just spoken, wasn’t interested in them; their talents couldn’t stir the feeling of being ’kindred spirits’ within the Ancestor of Blood Refinement,

Yang Tianzi wanted to say that,

but seeing that the Ancestor of Blood Refinement hadn’t said anything,

Should he say it?

What if it annoyed the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, what then?

"What if you end up being face-slapped, what then?" Among the crowd, Liu Qing was right next to the Ancestor of Blood Refinement. He finally spoke, with a slight smile.

This group of Azure Empire fools didn’t even know they had offended the Ancestor of Blood Refinement and were still here boasting!

Wrong!

A grave mistake!

"Why are the disciples of the Willow Sect talking such nonsense? And not just one of them?" Hearing the different voices from the Willow Sect disciples, Zhan Sha was thoroughly displeased, yet he maintained politeness for Yang Tianzi’s sake, thus saying tactfully: "You are just disciples, not the Sect Master, hence should not speak out of turn and especially shouldn’t say such muddled words. You are not the Ancestor of Blood Refinement; how would you know what he thinks? Heh, if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"

Zhan Sha felt the Willow Sect disciples belittled him, which agitated him.

His martial strength wasn’t on par with Yang Tianzi’s. But compared to the Willow Sect’s disciples, he could still defeat them.

What qualifications did they have to speak to him this way?

How could they understand the matters between him and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement?

"Yes, if you don’t understand, please don’t speak about matters between the Great General and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement."

"Yes."

The Seahorse General and others echoed,

Firmly asserting it was others speaking out of turn.

"Idiots." Among the sect disciples, Wu Tian shook his head, sighing with disdain.

Liu Qing and the other sect disciples, knowing the Ancestor of Blood Refinement was present, looked at Zhan Sha and others as if they were looking at fools.

"Originally, you were destined for a peaceful life, staying on the small island until you die of old age. If you really intend to attack the Three Realms, you might meet an early end." Master Li the Fortune Teller, as a fortune teller, suddenly noticed that Zhan Sha’s fate seemed to have been altered and couldn’t help but speak out,

Since it’s altered, could it be changed back?

Master Li wanted to try!

"Do you have a connection with the Human Clan in the Three Realms?" Zhan Sha suddenly asked.

Master Li shook his head.

"If not, why speak for them? To defend them, do you wish to spout nonsense to me?" Zhan Sha’s tone contained anger. As a General, he had eagerly awaited a battlefield opportunity; how could he let it slip away?

Seeing this, Master Li knew he couldn’t change the fate; he could only sigh.

"Sect Master, please tell me where the Ancestor of Blood Refinement is now?" Returning to the main topic, Zhan Sha appealed to Yang Tianzi.

"He... has left. Just left not long ago!" Yang Tianzi chuckled.

"Thank you for informing me." Zhan Sha nodded, feeling he could catch up if he left now.

Once allied with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, the Three Realms were within his grasp. Zhan Sha immediately said goodbye to Yang Tianzi to pursue the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

Before leaving, something came to mind, and Zhan Sha glanced at the group of Willow Sect disciples,

"Sect Master Yang Tianzi is renowned and respected worldwide; I hope you disciples inherit his spirit and virtues, rather than speaking nonsense, especially those two just now."

With that, he waved his arm and departed proudly with the Seahorse General and others.

Once they left, everyone in the main hall looked speechlessly on, not expecting there to still be such fools between heaven and earth.

Indeed... you live and learn!
