My Master Knows It All

273: Chapter 141: On the Way to a Sneak Attack_6 273: Chapter 141: On the Way to a Sneak Attack_6 Bai Xiaosi’s expression was grave as he clasped his hands towards Bai Fengzi and said solemnly, “Sect Leader, I have just received news that Wu Jianzi, a disciple of the Sword Sect, spent three days at Thousand Caves Door and then left the Thousand Caves.”

Around them, each Peak Master was greatly shocked.

“Three days!”

“What?

Thousand Caves Door actually withstood three days!”

“They…

those guys, how could they have held out for so long this time?”

“Last time, just before the Qiankun small epoch was about to arrive, the Sword Sect disciple came down the mountain to discuss the Dao, and he went to Thousand Caves Door and returned the same day.”

“It can’t be that Wu Jianzi’s swordsmanship is not as good as his predecessor’s…”

“No!” Elder Bai Xiaosi said with a grave expression, “As far as I know, Wu Jianzi is even stronger than his predecessor.

It can only mean that Thousand Caves Door has made significant advancements in the Sword Dao.

I have come here this time to inform the Sect Leader and all of you that tomorrow, Wu Jianzi will visit our Hundred Peaks Sect to challenge us in swordsmanship!”

“What!”

“So soon!”

“This is too sudden!”

Around them, everyone began to look troubled, even forgetting the pain of losing Spirit Stones in the bet on Four Treasures Peak, their brows deeply furrowed.

The Sword Sect was the sect that was known to produce the finest swordsmanship under heaven.

This saying didn’t come from the Sword Sect itself, but rather it was spread by others.

If it were a matter of competing in swordsmanship, no one in the world could outdo the Sword Sect, and the Hundred Peaks Sect was no exception.

The key was, how long could one last while facing the Sword Sect’s challenge.

Last time, when the Sword Sect disciple came down the mountain to discuss the Dao, he went to Thousand Caves Door and left that very day, and when he visited the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was the same—he came and went on the same day.

In fact, he didn’t even stay for a full day, as the Sword Sect disciple had left the Hundred Peaks Sect before the sun had set.

It was just that the Hundred Peaks Sect wanted to save face, so they said they had held out for a day, that way, the Hundred Peaks Sect didn’t lose to Thousand Caves Door.

This time, Thousand Caves Door had actually held out for three days, so…

Everyone’s gaze fell on the Peak Masters of the sword peaks.

“Flying Sword Peak Master, this time it is the Sword Sect’s disciple who has come, we will have to rely on you.”

“Crazy Sword Peak Master, you must help our Hundred Peaks Sect save face this time.”

“Town Immortal Mixed Clan courts the Peaks, Hundred Peaks and Thousand Caves vie for supremacy.

Our Hundred Peaks Sect must not lose to Thousand Caves Door.”

Flying Sword Peak Master, looking at each Peak Master who was turning to him, was filled with frustration in his heart.

Lasting three days was not so easily achieved.

Ordinarily, when another’s disciple comes to discuss the Dao, the Hundred Peaks Sect would surely send out disciples to engage them, but he was well aware of the capabilities of his own disciples, and moreover, the grand competition of the Hundred Peaks had just concluded, so the state of other Peaks’ disciples was also well known.

Merely sending disciples to face Wu Jianzi in a Dao discussion, they would definitely not last long.

Forget about three days, if they could last till the second day, they would be extremely fortunate.

But if they didn’t send disciples, then only their seniors could step up, and their generation was higher than that of Wu Jianzi.

If they won, there would not be much honor in it, but if they lost, the embarrassment would be immense!

Bai Fengzi looked at each silent Sword Peak Master, his expression suddenly turning cold as he said icily, “I don’t care by what means, but this time, when Wu Jianzi comes for the rotation, he must last three days.

You must not lose to Thousand Caves Door!”

Listening to Bai Fengzi’s words, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but glance towards Tu Zhuque and Chen Qingluan, knowing well the relationship between the Hundred Peaks Sect and Thousand Caves Door was somewhat like that between Vermilion Bird Peak and Azure Pheasant Peak; it was alright to lose to anyone else, just not to each other.

However, what was different was that Vermilion Bird Peak and Azure Pheasant Peak were vying to be the number one fire peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect, while Hundred Peaks Sect and Thousand Caves Door were competing to be the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s number one Mixed Clan.

Nevertheless, he was puzzled as to why everyone seemed to be conceding defeat already, thinking only of how many days they could persist?

Curiously, Cao Zhen asked, “Sect Leader True Person, I’d like to ask, if this time, someone from our sect wins in the Dao discussion against a disciple of Sword Sect, is there any reward?”

He remembered very clearly that Bai Fengzi had mentioned during the last meeting, saying that there would be a reward for winning.

“Reward?

You’re still thinking about a reward!” The Purple Dawn Peak Master immediately looked at Cao Zhen with irritation and exclaimed, “Do you know what kind of place Sword Sect is?

‘The swordsmanship of the world comes from Sword Sect,’ goes the saying!”

Their Purple Dawn Peak had utterly embarrassed themselves in this Hundred Peaks competition, plummeting to ninety-fifth place.

Moreover, before the competition, he had wagered a large sum of Spirit Stones on Four Treasures Peak ranking between seventy-first and seventy-fifth, only for Four Treasures Peak to finish absolute last, causing him to lose all his money.

Hearing Cao Zhen’s question, he was the first to jump out.

Alongside, one after another, the Peak Masters who had bet on Four Treasures Peak and lost everything were immediately filled with anger upon seeing Cao Zhen’s question.

“Win?

With what will you win?

You don’t actually think your Four Treasures Peak could win, do you?

What exactly are you going to win with?”

“What a joke!”

“To be honest, the disciples of your Four Treasures Peak are not bad, but you seriously lack self-awareness, not having won a single Peak Bamboo.

Now, you’re displaying your lack of self-awareness once again.”

“A man without self-awareness, can he understand Dao?

If you truly understood, you wouldn’t let your disciples challenge those insurmountable opponents.”

Cao Zhen couldn’t be bothered to engage with these people and continued to look at Bai Fengzi, insisting, “Sect Leader True Person, I remember you saying that there would be a reward for winning.”

No sooner had his words fallen than the surrounding people’s laughter grew even more intense.

“You really think you can win?

If you win, without the Sect Leader even saying anything, I’ll give you whatever you want!”

“That’s right.

You like Spirit Fields, don’t you?

Our peak still has a Fourth-Grade Spirit Field; if you win, we’ll give it directly to you.”

“Forget about the Fourth-Grade Spirit Fields, if you manage to win, come to my Purple Feather Peak and take whatever you want!”

“Forget about winning, what if you lose?”

“Still, it’s better not to let him compete.

If he goes, who knows how he’ll embarrass our Hundred Peaks Sect!”

Cao Zhen, listening to everyone’s mockery, became incredibly excited, his gaze shifting towards the other Peak Masters who had yet to speak.

Keep mocking, keep talking, I’ll win what you promised, we’ll put it in writing later…

While he was excitedly thinking this, suddenly, a cold rebuke sounded out.

“Enough!” Bai Fengzi looked coldly at the crowd, dissatisfied, “Four Treasures Peak is also a peak within our Hundred Peaks Sect.

Do you show any semblance of fellowship now?”

Instantly, everyone stopped talking.

A disappointed look crossed Cao Zhen’s face as he turned to Bai Fengzi, thinking, what are you doing?

They were just mocking me; let them mock me, let them insult me to their heart’s content.

I enjoy it.

Without their mockery, how am I to earn anything?

You’re sabotaging my opportunity!

Bai Fengzi’s gaze swept across the crowd and said, “Go back and prepare, all Sword Peaks, set up your Dao discussion platforms.

I don’t care by what means, but this round of discussion must last longer than three days.

If indeed you cannot hold out any longer, then other peaks must also join the discussions.

Even if it means accumulating time, we must hold out for three days!”
