My Master Knows It All

1040: 273 Chapter_2 1040: 273 Chapter_2 Her words had just fallen when everyone around ceased their discussions and looked towards her.

“I’ve already said that I’m not the belligerent type,” he spoke with a slight pause and then raised his voice, “Our enemies are not each other but rather those sects from the Central Five Provinces who pose the most threat to us!”

Yang Yudong and the other proponents of peace immediately nodded and said, “Peak Master Cao is right; our enemies are not each other.”

“We in the Eastern Border also naturally desire non-aggression with our neighbors.”

Aside from the members of the Ultimate Sword Sect, the rest of the neutral and even the war-favoring cults remained surprisingly silent.

The power of the Eastern Wasteland was truly beyond their expectations.

Even if the disciple of Peak Master Cao had exaggerated to some degree, they had seen Peak Master Cao’s strength for themselves, a being at the limit of the Golden Core Stage.

Becoming enemies with such a person was truly unwise.

As Cao Zhen listened to the crowd, he nodded slightly and said, “Although I’ve not been in your Eastern Border for long, I know it is governed by ten major Immortal Sects.

I hope you can convey my thoughts to the other sects, discuss a result soon, and inform me.

If you agree to a non-aggression pact with the Eastern Wasteland, I can sign the pact with you at any time.”

“We will discuss it as soon as possible.”

Song Nianzhu slightly nodded.

Yang Yudong next to him, however, curiously asked, “Peak Master Cao, I know you are the foremost expert of the Eastern Wasteland, and I mean no disrespect by my query.

However, since you belong to the Four Treasures Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect, wouldn’t it be better to also have the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect come over when we sign the pact?”

Although Cao Zhen was indeed the first master of the Eastern Wasteland, he was after all just an individual; he felt that having the opposing Sect Leader present would be better when signing the pact.

Cao Zhen chuckled lightly, “I am the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

Yang Yudong was momentarily stunned, then internally complained endlessly.

‘You are the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect and you didn’t say so earlier, talking about being the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak!

You…’

While he internally complained, Cao Zhen’s voice came again.

“Also, I am the State Preceptor of the greatest dynasty in the Eastern Wasteland, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Alone, I can represent the Eastern Wasteland in signing the pact with you.”

Now that the people of the Eastern Border knew Cao Zhen’s identity, they naturally couldn’t allow him to roam outside unchecked, as it would show a lack of hospitality on their part.

Soon, they invited Cao Zhen into the Qingfeng Sect, and the Sect Leader of the Qingfeng Sect promptly informed the other nine Immortal Sects of Cao Zhen’s presence.

Suddenly, the previous neutral factions, upon learning that Cao Zhen had reached the Golden Core Limit and knowing about the three reincarnated figures of great power in the Eastern Wasteland, as well as the astonishing cultivation base of Cao Zhen’s disciples, all agreed to sign the pact.

Neither of the two primary war sects objected.

Even the Ultimate Sword Sect was inactive for a moment.

The Ultimate Sword Sect at this time had already hung up white fabrics throughout the vast sect.

Inside the Conference Hall, all the high ranks of the Ultimate Sword Sect were dressed in plain clothes.

“Sect Leader, what do you mean by this?

Our former Sect Leader was killed by someone, and now, the entire Eastern Border’s cultivators know about it.

The Ultimate Sword Sect has taken no action; how can we maintain face in the Eastern Border cultivation world!”

“Yes, Sect Leader, he may be strong, but they only have four people, and we are an entire sect.

Are we really afraid of them?”

“They killed our Sect Leader, we must take revenge, and no one can find a reason to stop us!”

“Sect Leader, don’t forget that your fellow brother looked after you quite a bit when he was still around!”

Jue Jianzi was dead; the Ultimate Sword Sect naturally had to establish a new Sect Leader, a new Jue Jianzi.

Yet to their surprise, their new Sect Leader was hindering their desire for revenge.

“Revenge?

Do you think I don’t want to avenge my senior brother?

Do you think I don’t want to uphold the reputation of our Ultimate Sword Sect?

But what can I do?

Among them, one isn’t from their Hundred Peaks Sect, so his life and death are hardly relevant to Cao Zhen.

Chasing Cao Zhen for revenge…

You’ve seen Cao Zhen’s strength yourselves, and those who haven’t seen it must have heard— he has reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage!

The capabilities of his two disciples are terrifying, nearly rivaling the former experts of our Eastern Border.

Yes, we have the numbers, but won’t they just run?

If they plan to escape, can we stop them?

On the other hand, if they choose to retaliate, they have myriad ways to do so.

Once we are isolated, they will surely slay us.

Are we then meant to stop cultivating and stick together all day?

Even if we were all together, if they desired to kill several of us and then leave, we would still be unable to stop them.

When that time comes, we could only watch helplessly as they kill our disciples and then gracefully depart!

We would all become sinners of the Ultimate Sword Sect!”

“Then are we to just watch helplessly as they killed our former Sect Leader and still strut around in our Eastern Border?”

“Revenge is of course necessary.

He has no enemies in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, but what about after the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is over?

It has been fifty years since the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth began.

Besides, we don’t even have to wait until the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ends.

Once we connect with the Central Five Provinces, that will be our day for revenge.”
