C293 A Roadblock!(2)

The only thing Woo Zhengyang hadn't anticipated was how impatient they would be. Even if they were worried about him dying at Moh Lunhui's hands, choosing this moment seemed ill-advised. Didn't they fear pushing him to the brink, forcing him to reveal everything and risk it all?

"Since you've all lost your way, what use am I to you? Just because I survived the disaster in your Fallen Sun Country, you want to lay all the blame on me? That's a bit unfair, isn't it? At the time, I was just a lowly Martial Disciple!"

"A lowly Martial Disciple? It's precisely because you were a lowly Martial Disciple that this situation is suspicious. During that disaster, only the sect leaders and elders survived. How do you explain that you, a mere Martial Disciple, managed to survive and weren't even found with the sect leaders and elders in the Sunset Canyon?" Wong Jinghai and the others had clearly prepared their arguments.

"Sect Master Wong, that's not quite right. My disciple, Woo Zhengyang, is widely recognized as a super genius. A super genius naturally has unique qualities. Even with the skills of a lowly Martial Disciple, he might still rival the sect leaders and elders, don't you think?"

Nie Fengyu seized the opportunity to interject, leaving many feeling embarrassed. Achieving such mastery as a sect leader was indeed rare.

Unfortunately, Nie Fengyu ignored the crowd's frustration and continued with pride, "Moreover, my super genius disciple is also an Array Master. His extraordinary combat skills aside, it's not surprising he broke free on his own. Your inability to break the array and your desperate measures, even sacrificing your disciples to save yourselves, are your issues, not my super genius disciple's problem!"

"Sect Master Nie! We just want to take him back to ask a few questions, that's all. There's no need for this!" Ye Nanxin, following Shao Jingyu, was almost driven mad by Nie Fengyu's stubbornness.

"Why not? He's a super talented disciple under my wing. If you get jealous and do something underhanded, it would be a disaster for the Profound Heaven Sect. Besides, the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association is an annual event of the Heavenly Martial Sect. If it's interrupted, I doubt Elder Beiming will stand by and do nothing."

Nie Fengyu's repeated mention of his "super talented disciple" even made the usually calm Woo Zhengyang feel a bit embarrassed.

Hearing his name, Elder Beiming snorted, "I won't get involved in your two families' feud, but the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association cannot be postponed because of you!"

"Elder Beiming, we know this is reckless, but it concerns the survival of the four major powers of the Fallen Sun Country. The Heavenly Martial Academy has already suffered greatly from this disaster, and we have no choice!" Wong Jinghai pleaded.

After considering this, Elder Beiming coldly replied, "You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to resolve this."

The meaning was clear: both sides would have to rely on their own means.

Wong Jinghai and his group had been waiting for this. As soon as Elder Beiming relented, he turned to Nie Fengyu and said, "Sect Master Nie, this is a serious matter. We have no other choice. We hope you can accommodate us."

"Can you do me a favor? It's not out of the question, but I have a condition!"

"Please, Sect Master Nie, go ahead."

"My incredibly talented disciple is here to claim the top spot at the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association. I believe he has what it takes. If you can ensure he becomes the champion, he won't be in danger and will cooperate with your inquiries. Of course, if you have questions, come to our Profound Heaven Sect. We'll welcome you with open arms!"

Before Nie Fengyu could finish, Wong Jinghai's chest was already heaving with anger.

Make him the champion of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association? If we could do that, would we even care about the No Life Sword? And as for the second condition, it's impossible to agree. Whether we get the No Life Sword or not, Woo Zhengyang must die. If the truth gets out, our three sects will be doomed.

"Sect Master Nie, why make things difficult? This matter is personally overseen by the elders of our three sects. I'm sure your sect's elders are aware and will give us some respect."

Wong Jinghai's tone remained humble, but it was clear to everyone that this was no plea—it was a threat.

Among the various sects, the Heavenly Martial Sect usually seeks balance and doesn't meddle in disputes between sects. In Dongjue Country, there are four sects. Even if the Profound Heaven Sect were destroyed, the Heavenly Martial Sect wouldn't intervene. In this matter, the three sects of Fallen Sun Country stand united, but the four sects of Dongjue Country are not on the same page.

Even though nearly all the elite disciples of the three sects from the Fallen Sun Country perished in that disaster, they still have three Reality Condensing Stage elders. If these three join forces, wiping out the Profound Heaven Sect wouldn't be too difficult. After all, a master at the Reality Condensing Stage is far superior to any Shape Gathering Stage master. Even if all the Shape Gathering Stage members of the Profound Heaven Sect could hold off one elder, and the Sect Master could handle another, the third elder would still wreak havoc, leading to the inevitable downfall of the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Are you threatening me?" Nie Fengyu's ever-present smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold, stern expression.
