Chapter 252 - 173: From the Daoist Sect Arises Ten Thousand Sects in the World_2
Admitting someone is stronger than oneself is difficult, especially for those with prideful hearts.
Yun Miao was the first to break the silence, saying, "As a Daoist who practices swordsmanship, I will not take advantage of your Broken Sword Mountain; let’s just forget about the gambling agreement."
The favor from Broken Sword Mountain coupled with a Sword Fruit to bet against a talented Immortal was already a loss. Now with Gu Wen’s surprising act of defeating a prodigy from a higher level, it was a disastrous loss.
Favors could be slowly repaid, and Sword Fruits could be grown over time, but an Immortal might not emerge once in ten thousand years.
"A gentleman’s word cannot be chased after by a team of horses! Is your Daoist Sect intending to renege on its debt?"
Xuan Wufeng suddenly snapped out of his daze, almost knocking over the chessboard in his excitement.
He knew of Yun Miao’s shamelessness; this fellow had tricked him countless times in the past and was surely capable of going back on his word.
"Don’t force me to draw my sword and strike you! If it comes to that, my Broken Sword Mountain will join the forces besieging your Sanqing Taoist Sect! Huayang, you tell us what’s fair here, how can one go back on their word?"
Huayang, who was dragged into this, also wore a pained expression, wishing he could slap his own face from minutes before.
He didn’t know if it was a matter of bad luck, but his decisions over the past year felt like the crimes of a sect traitor.
