Chapter 659 -230: ‘Literature’ or ‘Martial’?_4

In Xuantian State, which slightly surpasses Tai City’s Zhang Family in strength, Yuan Sect used to have an Old Ancestor at the Void Refining Mid Stage. Unfortunately, he passed away recently, and though the sect’s overall cultivation strength suddenly dropped by one level, they still retained their profound foundation.

Afterward.

The elderly woman who had been sitting in the rocking chair suddenly stood up and turned her head to look at the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard. Her face bore a somewhat unpleasant expression as she solemnly said, “Considering your understanding of Chen Qiu, do you think he will come to our Yuan Sect?” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This middle-aged man was someone she had met in Duoduo City a few days ago and had subsequently taken into the Yuan Sect.

This man claimed to be from the same hometown as Chen Qiu, also hailing from the Xuantian Continent. There, he had been a Patriarch of the Cao Family, with a cultivation at the Late-stage Divinity Transformation, which was quite respectable. She had promised him a position of sect offering in their sect.

“He is very likely to come.”

The Cao Family Patriarch said earnestly and with a trace of haste, “First and foremost, this scene is very familiar. It has happened before on the Xuantian Continent. It was the same as this time, first wiping out the whole family that bore enmity against oneself. The Chao Tian Sect called it a ‘martial’ visit.”

“Then they start carrying fruit baskets, visiting each family one by one.”

“The visit carrying fruit baskets is considered a ‘cultural’ visit.”

“If you accept the fruit basket, you have to give a reciprocal gift in return, and afterward, you will be marked by the Chao Tian Sect as a friendly force.”

“But if you refuse the fruit basket or refuse to give a reciprocal gift, you will be marked by the Chao Tian Sect as an Evil Demon force.”

“By that time—”

The Cao Family Patriarch said with a helpless expression, “Logically speaking, our Yuan Sect, being no more than mosquito meat, shouldn’t be necessary to visit, considering that the strongest among us is you, Madam, at the early stage of Void Refining, with not much in the way of reserves. The Chao Tian Sect typically wouldn’t bother with a force like ours.”

“However… our sect happens to be on the route from the Buddhist Sect to the Taoist Sect, and Chao Tian Sect is definitely going to visit the Taoist Sect, given that the Taoist Sect is wealthy. And since we are on the route, perhaps due to the convenience of the way, it would be a missed opportunity not to visit.”

“Of course, it’s not easy to be definite about it.”

“Nevertheless, Madam, my advice is… Chen Qiu anyway has no expectations for our sect, so even if we give less, it wouldn’t matter much, but we must maintain a good attitude, especially since… the name ‘Yuan Sect’ is a bit sensitive.”

“Back in the day on the Xuantian Continent, the Yuan Sect there had issued a wanted order against Chen Qiu, and he ended up slaughtering the entire sect.”

“I understand.”

The old woman sitting in the rocking chair fell silent for a long while before finally speaking softly, “I know how to handle this.”

…

Meanwhile—

The group from the Chao Tian Sect stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, shooting towards the direction of the Taoist Sect and directly passing over the Yuan Sect without stopping.

From the Sect Master of the Heavenly Axe Sect, they had learned that the Yuan Sect was merely a minor sect not worth mentioning. The only reason they had included Yuan Sect in their route was because of its location on the way to the Taoist Sect.

With the mindset of “why not visit if it’s on the way,” they had included it on their itinerary.

The highest cultivation in the sect was merely at the early stage of Void Refining, much like the Zhang Family of Tai City. He was not very interested in them and even too lazy to stop and waste time. After all, the more he delayed here, the greater the chance of the Taoist Sect slipping away.

One shouldn’t lose a sizable meal chasing after a morsel of mosquito meat.

“…”

Standing on the deck, Chen Qiu looked out into the night sky, feeling the oncoming night breeze, and suddenly chuckled. He suddenly felt a bit like the Pirate King, indeed somewhat resembling what the Xuantian Daily had described, exuding an air of a brigand.

He felt a little embarrassed about it.
