Chapter 2890: An Uninvited Guest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon after the news of Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, being alive spread to the Wasteland’s Tai Yi Celestial Sect, it quickly spread to the entire Six Southeastern Regions. All the major sects in the Six Southeastern Regions received word of it one after another.

“The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s Young Master, Bai Yu Xuan, is still alive?”

“Word from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Old Ancestor had missed when he attacked.”

“Missed? Do you think that’s possible? The Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Old Ancestor was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!”

“You’re right… Although I’m just a Six Combinations Celestial Duke, I don’t think I would’ve missed if I were to kill Bai Yu Xuan and his companion!”

“There’s a small chance the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had missed in killing the disciple from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. However, it’s highly impossible for him to fail in killing Bai Yu Xuan as well!”

“It seems like there’s more to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Old Ancestor’s death.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

All of the top sects from the Six Southeastern Regions, similar to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, that attended the Alchemy Conference in Alchemy City of the Barren Land had no doubt the entire incident was a scheme hatched by the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect to kill He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“I’ve always thought Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, was an honorable man. Who knew he would do such a thing?”

“As the old saying goes, ‘Looks can be deceiving’. Bai Wu Ji is a man with a fair face but a foul heart!”

“I used to wonder how a gentleman like Bai Wu Ji ended up with a son who has such absurd values… It seems like his son learned it from him. He’s just better at hiding it than his son.”

It was just Bai Wu Ji had expected, his reputation was completely ruined due to his son’s actions when news of his son being alive spread in the Six Southeastern Regions.

It was also just as Bai Yu Xuan had predicted, without concrete evidence, the top sects could only discuss this among themselves. They would not stand against the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect even if they were aware of the truth unless the Tai Yi Celestial Sect could provide them with evidence.

Since this matter was related to the death of He Shan, an Eight Trigram Celestial Duke from one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions, it remained a hot topic for quite a while.

Just as Situ Ming, the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had said, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect tried to compensate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect even though He Shan supposedly attempted to kill Bai Yu Xuan to show their magnanimity. They offered to compensate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with primitive Celestial Stones and ordinary pills.

The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect had sent one of their elders to bring the compensations over to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. However, before the elder could even step foot into the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate, Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had already chased him away.

“Take your things and get lost! Tell Bai Wu Ji that actions speak louder than words. The Tai Yi Celestial Sect will never let this matter go!”

Upon hearing Bai Ping’s angry words, the elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect scoffed with a sour expression on his face. He left in a huff after saying, “Our sect leader did say that the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect will not force the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to accept the compensation if the Tai Yi Celestial Sect refuses!”

These words angered many of the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. How they wished to chase after the elder from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and kill him! Alas, they could not act recklessly. After all, the death of an elder of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would bring complications to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would definitely seize the opportunity and use it to condemn the Tai Yi Celestial Sect instead.

As the saying went, ‘Time heals all wounds’. As time passed, the incident was gradually forgotten, and before long, nobody spoke about it anymore.

Tai Yi Celestial Sect seemed peaceful as always, but underneath this pretense, everyone in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, from the sect leader to the normal disciples, was heavy-hearted due to He Shan’s death. If He Shan truly did kill Bai Yu Xuan, they would have slowly come to terms with He Shan’s death even if they were sad. After all, it was only fair. However, He Shan had died unjustly. He Shan was dead, but Bai Yu Xuan was alive and living a carefree life. Moreover, it was likely that He Shan did not even attempt to kill Bai Yu Xuan. How could they not feel unresigned and frustrated?

One day, a sudden announcement outside of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect shocked everyone in the sect. “The Blissful Sect’s Li An and Ji Fan, the Arhat, are here to visit the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.

“Blissful Sect? Aren’t they from the Cross Region?”

“Yes! Blissful Sect is from the Cross Region… In fact, it’s a powerful sect with Ten Direction Celestial Dukes!”

“Blissful Sect? As far as I know, the successor of the sect leader is known as Arhat… Why is the successor of the Blissful Sect here?”

“That’s not all… More importantly, someone else brought him here.”

“Who the hell is Li An?

Many people in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were both shocked and curious about Li An. They did not know who Li An was. Although they did not know Ji Fan as well, they were familiar with the title Arhat. Therefore, they knew he was the successor of the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect.

Naturally, this did not apply to the high-ranking officials in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. They certainly knew who Li An was.

“Li An? Isn’t he the Blissful Sect’s Old Ancestor? He’s a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, right?”

“The Blissful Sect’s Old Ancestor? The Nine Palaces Celestial Duke? He’s known as the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions, right?”

“W-what’s he doing here?”

“I heard before our Old Ancestor was killed by Bai Wu Ji, he was blinded by Li An!”

“I’m afraid these people from the Blissful Sect didn’t come with good intentions…”

“I agree. Our Tai Yi Celestial Sect doesn’t have any dealings with the Blissful Sect, after all.”

It did not take long before Li An’s identity spread out, and everyone in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate who were unaware learned about Li An’s identity. It, naturally, caused an uproar. Many of them were worried.

“The strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions?”

“Why would someone like this come to our Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t think they come in peace.”

Many of them began to speculate about the reasons for Li An and Ji Fan’s visit.

“I remember now… During the Alchemy Conference, Master Duan won a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability from the Blissful Sect and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect respectively!”

“That’s right. The triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method is one of its kind in the Blissful Sect. It is called the Immobilization King Method!”

“Did Li An come to take it back?”

“I don’t think so… Although the Blissful Sect lost the bet, they did not lose their Celestial Method. They only shared it with Master Duan. Moreover, Master Duan won fair and square. The Celestial Alchemist from the Alliance of Celestial Master was a witness! If they truly came to take the Memory Celestial Talisman back, do you think there would be people who are willing to compete with them during the next Alchemist Conference?”

“If not, then why’s he here?”

Meanwhile, when Bai Ping heard about Li An’s arrival, his expression changed drastically. Although he did not attend the Alchemy Conference, Situ Ming had recounted everything that happened as soon as Situ Ming returned to the sect. “The Blissful Sect’s Li An? What’s he doing here?”
