My Master Knows It All

268: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Assault_1 268: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Assault_1 Hundred Peaks Sect, for nearly a thousand years, has consistently held Flying Immortal Peak as the first among all peaks, unwavering in its status.

In all the contests during the sect’s grand tournaments throughout the thousand years, the champion defending the first place has always hailed from Flying Immortal Peak.

Naturally, there are always those who challenge the first, but none have ever succeeded.

Moreover, when people challenge the first place, they usually wait until the last two days.

The present situation, where on just the third day someone is challenging the first place, the Nie Jie from Flying Immortal Peak, has never occurred before!

The challenger is from Vermilion Bird Peak, Li Ke!

“Li Ke didn’t go to challenge the second-ranked brother from Five Elements Peak, she went straight to challenge Nie Jie!”

“This seems to be the ultimate showdown, and it’s starting early.”

“Who knows who will win this battle.”

“Immortal Li Ke, she has achieved Perfect Completion Golden Core with ten cores, and each one possesses a phenomenon!”

“Don’t you know?

Brother Nie Jie, too, has ten phenomenal Perfect Completion Golden Cores.

Otherwise, why do you think brother Nie Jie would be the champion holding the first place?”

When Li Ke announced her challenge to Nie Jie, all the attention of everyone at Immortal Gathering Peak was focused on Li Ke and Nie Jie.

In the grand competition of Hundred Peaks, you don’t get to fight the moment you wish to; you still have to wait in line.

However, when they heard that Li Ke was challenging Nie Jie, those ahead of her in the queue readily stepped aside.

Suddenly, a fighting stage became vacant.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Ke descended from the sky, landing on the stage silently as if she were an immortal descended from the Ninth Heaven.

As Li Ke landed on the stage, all eyes turned toward the second-highest place after the True Person Sect Leader’s residence.

The location of Flying Immortal Peak.

A black silhouette soared and descended from the sky, landing on the stage.

Nie Jie!

He was even wearing a long black cape, which fluttered in the wind, making a whistling noise.

Unlike the silence following Li Ke’s landing, his arrival on the stage produced a heavy, thudding noise, as though a Great Stone had tumbled down from the peak of a mountain.

This assembly witnessed the strongest two disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect finally confronting each other in battle!

Clothed in a garment whiter than snow, Li Ke was unblemished by dust, resembling an untainted immortal untouched by the mortal world.

Nie Jie, however, donned a black robe, his long eyebrows extending into his hairline, his face fair as jade, handsome without compare, standing with his hands clasped behind his back.

He might appear youthful, yet when his star-like eyes swept across, they evoked the illusion of history flowing like a long river.

Onlookers perched upon surrounding peaks cast admiring glances at the two figures standing on either side of the stage.

“These are the most outstanding disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“Just their presence alone is incomparable.”

“Do you feel, the two of them are really well-matched?”

“Now that you mention it, I do get that feeling.”

“Both are supremely talented disciples, and their Cultivation Realms are equivalent, one handsome, the other beautiful, and the peaks they represent are among the top ten of Hundred Peaks Sect.

No matter how you look at it, they seem perfectly matched.”

“I suddenly wonder why Immortal Li Ke didn’t choose brother Nie Jie in the past, but rather set her sights on Cao Zhen.

How can Cao Zhen compare to brother Nie Jie?”

Gazing at Li Ke across from him, a flash of annoyance crossed Nie Jie’s handsome face.

Did Li Ke really have to challenge him now?

Could she not wait until the last day?

The only one in the entire Hundred Peaks Sect who posed a threat to Nie Jie was Li Ke.

If Li Ke had waited until the last day to challenge him, his master wouldn’t have disturbed him, and he could have enjoyed a few quiet days.

But with this early challenge, once the fight was over, there would be no one left in Hundred Peaks Sect to threaten him.

Wouldn’t his master desperately push him to marry?

Just the thought of his master’s matchmaking gave Nie Jie a headache.

He had never taken a partner, and his master had not forced him to find one.

However, with the upcoming Qiankun small epoch, his master had feverishly urged him, saying it wasn’t enough for him to be strong on his own.

What if he encountered a special situation, got injured?

What then?

If he had a partner, there would be someone to look out for him.

A partner?

Why should he find a partner?

Having a partner would only slow down the speed of his sword draw, and Nie Jie did not wish to have one.

He was certain he wouldn’t choose a partner, not in his whole life.

Later, driven mad by his master’s pressure, he thought of a solution: to find a female disciple to put on an act, to pretend to be partners and get through this period.

But to his dismay, his master claimed the female disciple was too weak to match him.

If he didn’t find a suitable female disciple, then the master would seek one from another sect.

Another sect?

He didn’t know any female disciples from other sects.

To go and propose pretending to be partners, wouldn’t he likely be killed by their masters?

However, being a Perfect Completion Golden Core with ten cores, all embodying phenomena, how could Nie Jie find an equally strong female disciple within Hundred Peaks Sect to pretend to be his partner?

Then, Li Ke of Vermilion Bird Peak made her breakthrough, and like him, achieved ten Perfect Completion Golden Cores, each with their phenomenon.

He had found a female disciple of equal strength.

The only problem was that he was not acquainted with Li Ke and did not know if she would agree to his proposal.
