Chapter 1426 - Refining the Black Tortoises Shell
Liu Wuxie had walked a path unlike anyone else, cultivating a dao that embraced all things instead of a single direction. He was completely different from Song Siqi, who poured all his devotion into one solitary path.
With the battle between him and Song Siqi over, the apprenticeship ceremony officially drew to a close. The Grand Unity Sect no longer had any pretext to keep issuing challenges, and both disciples, Jian Yiming, had already fallen to Liu Wuxie's sword.
"Farewell," Jian Yiming said, cupping his hands before turning to leave the Auspicious Cloud Hall with his two senior brothers.
What had transpired today would sweep through the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain in no time, and Liu Wuxie's name would once again resound everywhere.
By now, aside from a few remote planets, almost every cultivator in the astral domain had at least heard his name.
As the guests gradually took their leave, two hours passed before the Auspicious Cloud Hall finally emptied, leaving only the Heavenly Dragon Sect's upper echelons behind. They had already dismissed the disciples. When Lingqiong Zhi departed, he cast a deep, unreadable glance at Liu Wuxie before leading the members of the Lingqiong Clan away.
No one brought up the Undying Chessboard, but they all knew that Liu Wuxie had already refined it. The Undying Sword Intent he had unleashed earlier served as the most evident proof.
"You two come with me," Hua Feiyu said, handing the remaining matters over to the other elders as he led his two disciples into the lesser realm.
Liu Wuxie and Sun Xiao exchanged a brief look. Then, they hurried after their master. They could both tell that Hua Feiyu's expression was far from pleasant when he turned to leave.
Although the apprenticeship ceremony had concluded flawlessly on the surface, the Lingqiong Clan's actions had left a heavy knot in the hearts of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's upper echelons.
The Lingqiong Clan still belonged to their sect, and they ought to have resolved any disagreements behind closed doors rather than airing them in public.
Yet the Lingqiong Clan had brazenly moved against Liu Wuxie in front of countless guests, even going so far as to kidnap his sworn brother and use the Undying Chessboard in an attempt to kill him.
