The Mirror Legacy

"Oh?" Yu Jiang’s face was completely different from when he had faced the Li Family just now. His skin was light brown, typical of a Southern Sea cultivator. He already knew what Xuwang was plotting, so he sat down, one hand resting limply on the armrest, and said casually, "Grievances are grievances, but there’s no reason to expect something for nothing."

The situation in Anhuai Heaven was uncertain. The various Purple Mansion Realm cultivators and Mahas might emerge at any time. Master Monk Xuwang was all smiles on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely anxious, If those few come out right now, everything in front of me will fall back into the game of high cultivators. That would be troublesome! I absolutely cannot delay any longer... If this person doesn’t have any excessive demands, then I’ll agree to them...

Xuwang’s current actions could be seen as testing his superiors’ intentions, but they might also be interpreted as acting on his own authority. He had been stuck at Master Monk for over a hundred years, and only needed one opportunity. Once he took Mount Bianyan, not only would his breakthrough be within reach, but he’d also obtain great merit... at that time, it would be all benefits and no losses.

But if he failed to take the mountain, or if someone from Anhuai Heaven came out halfway, then he’d be roasted alive. The competition for the northern seat was already fierce. No matter what attitude the Azure Pond Sect’s Purple Mansion Realm cultivators held, the various Merciful Ones would rather watch him fall than offer a helping hand. They certainly wouldn’t protect an ambitious junior hoping to carve a share for himself.

Only by standing out and catching Maha’s eye can I claim the position of the Merciful One... then who would dare not smile when they see me?

He was much stronger than his fellow disciples, and he had already calculated everything in his mind, A Li Xuanfeng, powered by the Huai River Map, is not someone any one person can defeat. If it weren’t for a group of cultivators surrounding him, who could possibly take his life? Even if Tuoba Chongyuan were reborn, he’d have to die a few more times!

But if it’s a group attack, how much merit will I even get out of it? That’s no fun!

His ambition was boundless. Since heading south was no longer possible, and he didn’t want to fight for Li Xuanfeng’s life, taking Mount Bianyan was important for his own survival.
