Chapter 382: Chapter 382 Liu Xingyu Meets the Sect Hierarch

The Green Lotus Sword Deity saw that Liu Xingyu looked serious and became even more curious. He nodded, “Alright, I will go with you to see Yang Xiaotian now.” Saying so, he and Liu Xingyu got up.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity instructed Li Dong, Li Hong, and the others to wait at the Green Lotus Tavern for his message.

Under the respectful escort of Li Dong, Li Hong, and the others, the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu soared into the sky, vanishing from the crowd’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Li Hong watched as the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu left and for some reason, had a bad premonition.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu turned into two sword lights, slicing through the layers of night, rapidly approaching the True Dragon Divine Sect.

At their full speed, they finally arrived at the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect.

The patrolling disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect did not recognize the Green Lotus Sword Deity. Upon their arrival, they were suddenly alarmed.

When they realized that the person in front of them was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Deity, the True Dragon Divine Sect disciples were shocked and pale, hurrying to bow respectfully before rushing off to report to Sect Master Hu Nan.

Upon hearing that the Green Lotus Sword Deity had arrived, Hu Nan was also greatly startled, quickly instructing his people to report to the ancestor Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, before he himself led a group of elders to eagerly greet the Green Lotus Sword Deity.

At the same time, Hu Nan felt uneasy in his heart.

He had also heard some news about the Green Lotus Sword Deity coming back to hold the Green Lotus Tavern to account, and he wondered if the Sword Deity had come in the dead of night for this.

Upon hearing of the Green Lotus Sword Deity’s arrival, both Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon also hastily came out from their caves to meet the Green Lotus Sword Deity.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity introduced Liu Xingyu’s identity to Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan.

When Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan heard that the person before them was the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect Master Liu Xingyu, they were equally startled and hurriedly exchanged greetings.

Seeing Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan’s uneasiness, Liu Xingyu said, “We come with no ill intentions; we simply wish to meet Young Master Yang.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan’s tensions eased.

So, they promptly led the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu towards Heaven-Penetrating Peak.

Upon arriving at Heaven-Penetrating Peak, Liu Xingyu’s face became tense.

He said to Li Zhengqing, “Brother Li, it is already late at night, let’s not disturb Young Master Yang now. How about we wait here tonight and go to see Young Master Yang when it gets light tomorrow?”

Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon were astonished.

Wait until tomorrow?

Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity were going to wait here overnight?

Just then, suddenly, a voice floated out from within Heaven-Penetrating Peak, “Come in.”

It was Yang Xiaotian’s voice.

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian’s voice, Liu Xingyu was shaken and quickly bowed, saying, “Yes.”

Seeing Liu Xingyu’s extremely respectful demeanor, Li Zhengqing, the Tyrant Dragon, and the others were stunned, even the Green Lotus Sword Deity was bewildered, not understanding what Liu Xingyu was up to.

Thus, Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity entered Heaven-Penetrating Peak.

When Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon also wanted to follow, Liu Xingyu stopped them, stating that he did not want others present when he met Yang Xiaotian.

Hearing this, Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon could only wait outside.

Seeing this, the Green Lotus Sword Deity was even more puzzled.

Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity entered Heaven-Penetrating Peak and walked into the palace.

Once they entered the palace, they saw a young man with a tall stature standing in the grand hall.

The young man’s eyes shone like the stars, and just by standing there, he exuded an overwhelming presence—it was none other than Yang Xiaotian.

As soon as Liu Xingyu saw Yang Xiaotian, he was taken aback, quickly stepping forward and kneeling before Yang Xiaotian, excitedly saying, “Liu Xingyu pays respect to Sect Hierarch, may the Sect Hierarch live forever!”

Liu Xingyu pays respect to Sect Hierarch!

Myriad blessings to the Sect Hierarch!

The Green Lotus Sword Deity looked at Liu Xingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and was shocked as he turned his gaze to the youth before him.

It’s Yang Xiaotian! He’s with the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect?!

“Brother Liu, he is?!” The Green Lotus Sword Deity still couldn’t believe it.

Liu Xingyu nodded solemnly to the Green Lotus Sword Deity.

With Liu Xingyu’s confirmation, the Green Lotus Sword Deity took a deep breath, looked at the youth before him, stepped forward excitably, and bowed: “Green Lotus has seen the Sect Hierarch!”

As a registered disciple of Divine Master Hong Feng, he was naturally a disciple of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, and he held a high position within the sect.

Yang Xiaotian said to Liu Xingyu, “Guardian Liu, there’s no need for such formality.” Then he let Liu Xingyu get up, came in front of the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and personally helped him up: “Senior Brother, there’s no need for such formality.”

Hearing Yang Xiaotian address him as Senior Brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity still couldn’t suppress his excitement. Looking at Yang Xiaotian before him, he said with emotion, “Good, good! The master’s mantle finally has a successor! It is a fortune for our Heaven-Penetrating presence and for the Myriad Swords Continent!”

Years ago, at the Wangtian Peak of the Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian’s battle with Wei Zongyuan, showcasing their two Divine Elixirs, left a lasting impression on the Green Lotus that he would never forget. He hadn’t expected that Yang Xiaotian would turn out to be the new Sect Hierarch of his Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect!

This made the Green Lotus Sword Deity incredibly excited.

Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian, Liu Xingyu, and the Green Lotus Sword Deity talked about matters concerning the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity said respectfully to Yang Xiaotian, “Hierarch, the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect still needs you to return and take control of the situation.”

Divine Master Hong Feng had been away from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect for many years, and the vast undercurrents within the great sect were now surging tumultuously; there was an urgent need for the new Hierarch Yang Xiaotian to return.

Regarding the affairs of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, Liu Xingyu had mentioned them to Yang Xiaotian before. Yang Xiaotian contemplated and then said, “Let’s wait for a few more years.”

His power was still weak, and he was afraid that he might not be able to command authority.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotian planned to wait a few more years until his power had increased before he took charge of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect on the Myriad Swords Continent.

At the very least, he had to become a Great Emperor and gather the fourteen strongest strands of Heavenly Fate before taking charge of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect; by then, he might barely be able to command respect.

Knowing Yang Xiaotian’s decision, neither the Green Lotus Sword Deity nor Liu Xingyu dared to insist further.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the whereabouts of Divine Master Hong Feng.

Shaking his head, the Green Lotus Sword Deity said, “I haven’t seen my master for many years now.”

Outside Heaven-Penetrating Peak, Li Zhengqing and Tyrant Dragon saw that the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu entered Heaven-Penetrating Peak and hadn’t come out for a long time, with no sign of activity, and they couldn’t help but feel astonished and doubtful.

Just as the two of them were conjecturing about what the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu were discussing with Yang Xiaotian in the dead of night, they saw two figures fly out from inside Heaven-Penetrating Peak; it was indeed the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu.

Seeing the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu come out, Li Zhengqing and his companion hurried forward to meet them.

Upon seeing Li Zhengqing coming over, the Green Lotus Sword Deity smiled at him and said, “Young Brother Li, from now on, True Dragon Divine Sect and Green Lotus Tavern must become much closer.”

Hearing this, Li Zhengqing was overjoyed and astonished, “Rest assured, Green Lotus Deity, True Dragon Divine Sect will certainly live up to your expectations.”

After that, the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Li Zhengqing exchanged pleasantries, and then, along with Liu Xingyu, they took to the skies and left the True Dragon Divine Sect.

The next day.

At the break of dawn.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity announced that from then on, the True Dragon Divine Sect was Green Lotus Tavern’s most sincere ally.

As the news spread, the Divine Dragon Empire was abuzz with excitement.

“The Green Lotus Sword Deity has returned, wasn’t he supposed to take charge of Green Lotus Tavern? How did they end up becoming allies instead?”

“I heard that the Green Lotus Sword Deity went personally to meet Divine Yang last night, and whatever they discussed, it made True Dragon Divine Sect and Green Lotus Tavern allies.”

Soon after, another piece of news spread: Li Hong was stripped of his position as the Tavern Master of Green Lotus Tavern, and Green Lotus Tavern would henceforth be managed by Li Dong again.
