Chapter 145 Leaving a Message
Chapter 145 Leaving a Message
the moment the blade's light appeared, waves surged from the still ground without any wind!
in front of the great hall, a wild wind suddenly swept through in an instant.
the gale spread in all directions, and even the great grandmasters among the crowd couldn't stand steady in this wild wind!
"has the sect master's strength reached such a level?"
those who knew ji canghai immediately exclaimed in shock.
but on second thought, it made sense. if ji canghai hadn't possessed such formidable strength, how could he have appeared in this third challenge as ye ling's opponent?
the blade's light reached ye ling in an instant, yet his expression remained calm as ever.
he merely raised his right hand in a flash and astonishingly caught the blade's light barehanded!
"crack!"
a sound like glass shattering instantly rang out.
to the incredulous gazes of all around, that blade's light simply vanished into nothingness in ye ling's hand!
"he shattered the blade light with his bare hands! what level of strength does the northern liao king have!"
"the sect master's strength is terrifying enough, but why is the northern liao king even more frightening? to what extent has he reached in the martial path?!"
"unbelievable! with such divine might from the northern liao king, this time the guiyi dao sect might well be defeated at his hands!"
...
the spectators nearby all exclaimed in astonishment, their words filled with disbelief.
but ji canghai remained unmoved, his aged eyes still filled with unwavering determination.
even with the blade's light shattered, ji canghai still held his broadsword and charged straight towards ye ling!
ye ling also immediately focused his gaze on ji canghai.
"if the northern liao king can withstand this blade, then i admit defeat," ji canghai said gravely.
ye ling nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "i'll give you enough time to unleash this blade."
"but if you lose, i want to leave a sentence on your guiyi dao sect's plaque."
at these words, ji canghai paused in his steps, but he still nodded and said gravely, "a fight naturally comes with its stakes!"
with ye ling's statement, it was clear that he had forgone the rewards he could have obtained after successfully completing the three challenges.
whether it was an item from the guiyi dao sect's treasury or the members of the guiyi dao sect bowing to ye ling as disciples in the future, the stakes were not small.
but now, to avoid these two conditions after a defeat by merely allowing ye ling to leave a sentence was undoubtedly still a gain for the guiyi dao sect.
ye ling's fingers moved as if wielding an unparalleled sharp sword.
a few breaths later, ye ling stopped and stood tall, then turned and walked away from the guiyi dao sect.
"let's go!" ye jiu and the others immediately moved to follow upon hearing this. stay tuned with empire
after ye ling and his companions left, only a group of people with blank faces, looking almost foolish, remained.
"what was the northern liao king doing at the end?" someone asked, coming back to their senses with a puzzled expression.
but the crowd was just as perplexed, having no idea what ye ling intended.
only ji canghai slowly looked up towards the plaque hanging over the doorway.
seeing this, the others also turned their gazes to the plaque that bore the name guiyi dao sect.
under the crowd's watchful eyes, the plaque suddenly stirred, and in a moment, wood shavings flew about.
a line of characters appeared beneath the four large characters denoting guiyi dao sect.
"under the heavens, all is the king's soil; within the four seas, all are the king's subjects!"
the sixteen characters, each penetrating three points deep into the wood, were etched with sharp and forceful strokes!
between the lines of these characters, an indescribable aura spread forth.
looking at these sixteen characters, everyone felt enveloped by a sovereign's might, daring not to harbor any disrespectful thoughts!
"the northern liao king... such a northern liao king! how dare he inscribe on the plaque left by our guiyi dao sect ancestors!" jiang hai said in an angry tone.
ji canghai glanced at him and said coldly, "had it not been for the disciples acting recklessly, how could our guiyi dao sect have attracted such a formidable adversary?"
"the northern liao king is kind-hearted, not willing to stoop to our level. instead of feeling gratitude, you dare to harbor resentment?"
"from this day forth, guiyi dao sect will close its gates and no longer concern itself with worldly affairs! this plaque will hang here for me to see. if anyone dares to take it down, i will be the first to cripple them!"
ji canghai's voice was laced with a heavy killing intent, sending chills through the hearts of everyone in the guiyi dao sect, leaving them with no courage to refute.
as his voice faded, ji canghai turned and walked toward the back mountain.
the four elders, who were half a step away from being war kings, promptly followed suit.
"with such a figure as the northern liao king entering the martial world, the peace of decades will be disrupted once again..."
ji canghai was already far away, but his voice still echoed in everyone's ears.
after being scolded by ji canghai, jiang hai didn't dare to plot against ye ling any further.
upon hearing ji canghai's murmured words, the color drained from everyone's faces.
