Chapter 52 – A Word of Advice Amidst The Spring Rain
Upon returning to the Daxia Sword Sect, Li Guanqi’s squad recounted everything that had transpired in the secret realm. There were elders from different peaks, including Sect Master Lu Kangnian and Disciplinarian Qin Xian.
Li Nanting stood at the base of the dais with Li Guanqi and the others.
Li Guanqi felt uneasy. He had wiped out the disciples of four sects, some of whom had Heavenly Spirit Roots. The other sects would surely want vengeance.
However, Lu Kangnian merely waved a hand dismissively. “Don’t worry. It’s just a few dead disciples! Hmmph! What happens in the secret realm, stays in the secret realm. This rule was set a thousand years ago.
“If they were capable, they could have killed you all in the secret realm instead! So they cannot blame you all for their own incompetency! Don’t worry, if they want to come, we will let them come. Just focus on your cultivation!”
Li Guanqi was moved by his words.
Twenty people had died—there was no way the other sects wouldn’t react at all. But the Daxia Sword Sect had stepped forward without hesitation, offering unwavering support. Their strength was undeniable.
Once Li Guanqi and the others left, Li Nanting couldn't hide his grin. He sensed that Li Guanqi’s aura had strengthened despite not breaking through yet. Still, he didn’t press for details. He assumed Li Guanqi had encountered an opportunity in the secret realm.
Li Guanqi, Ye Feng, Lin Dong, and Zhong Lin made their way to the Treasure Pavilion at Heavenly Pillar Peak. As promised, Li Guanqi exchanged the large chunk of Taiyi silver for sect contribution points, earning them twelve hundred points. The small piece of Black Spirit Clay was valued at two thousand.
Three thousand two hundred points in total.
Li Guanqi divided the sum into five portions. “Ke Qin’s no longer with us, but her share can be converted into gold and silver for her family. We’ll treat it as... a parting gift from us.”
