“Princess Lingwu, are you planning to attack my Azure Cloud Sect? Is the Qian Dynasty going to challenge the Four Great Sects? The Qian Dynasty cannot bear the consequences of such an action!” Ling Yunzi looked at Qian Lingwu, his Aura rippling outwards. Qian Lingwu had arrived aggressively, clearly with ill intentions.
Qian Lingwu stared at Qin Chu for a moment, then looked at Ling Yunzi, “This princess has no intention of attacking the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Qian Dynasty has no intention of challenging the Four Great Sects. This princess is only here for him today, only to take him away!”
“Impossible! Qin Chu is the holder of my Azure Cloud Sect’s Azure King Token. In the Azure Cloud Sect, the holder of the Azure King Token is equivalent to the Sect Master. For you, Qian Lingwu, to touch him is to slap my Azure Cloud Sect’s face.” Mo Daozi appeared. He had left earlier to activate the Azure Cloud Sect’s defensive grand array with the Azure King Token.
Now the Azure Cloud Sect was enveloped by the defensive grand array. Even if Qian Lingwu brought her forces, she wouldn’t be able to break in. Furthermore, with the mountain gate array suppressing her, Qian Lingwu’s strength would also decrease. She had landed on the ground because continuing to stay in the air would subject her to the array’s attack.
“Mo Daozi, do you think your Azure Cloud Sect can desecrate and trample on this princess’s dignity? Him, this princess will not give up!” Qian Lingwu pointed at Qin Chu, her attitude resolute.
“Your Qian Dynasty, don’t push us too far. If you want to fight, then we will fight to the end! The Azure Cloud Sect’s sword will not bend!” Mo Daozi’s face was filled with fury. Qian Lingwu coming to their doorstep to demand a promising talent from the Azure Cloud Sect was an insult to the Azure Cloud Sect.
“Mo Daozi, are your Azure Cloud Sect really going to oppose this princess for the sake of one Disciple?” Qian Lingwu frowned. She just couldn’t understand. It was one thing for Zihuan to protect Qin Chu, but now the Azure Cloud Sect was actually going to fight her to the end. This was simply unreasonable.
“You come to our doorstep to humiliate my Azure Cloud Sect, and now you say we are opposing you? This is truly twisting right and wrong. If our Azure Cloud Sect humiliatingly hands over Qin Chu today, how will the thousands of Disciples in the Sect view it? If the Sect cannot be a place of refuge, then is there any need to fight for the Sect? You are shaking the Foundation of my Azure Cloud Sect, so let us fight to the death!” Mo Daozi slowly drew the long sword from his waist. This situation was also unexpected for him. He hadn’t expected Qian Lingwu, a Cultivator at the sixth-rank King Realm, to come to the Azure Cloud Sect to make things difficult for Qin Chu. At this point, there was no other way but to fight to the death. With the Azure Cloud Sect’s defensive grand array as support, Qian Lingwu would not be able to succeed in whatever she intended to do. Of course, the Azure Cloud Sect would also suffer great losses.
“Qin Chu, are you still a man? To let the Azure Cloud Sect pay such a heavy price for you alone!” Qian Lingwu looked at Qin Chu.
The current situation was also beyond Qian Lingwu’s control. Should she really fight the Azure Cloud Sect head-on? She couldn’t, because that would make the other three great Sects feel threatened, and then they would fight the Qian Dynasty to the death. Although the Qian Dynasty had placed people in the Four Great Sects, it still couldn’t dictate their major decisions.
Qin Chu gave a wry smile. The situation was pressing. Qian Lingwu was truly not letting him go. Perhaps he should have stayed in Tianxiang Valley; that would have been relatively safer.
“Qin Chu, this is a matter for the Sect, it has nothing to do with you personally. Does she dare to kill you? She cannot bear the consequences.” Mo Daozi looked at Qin Chu, worried that he might make some decision.
“Mo Daozi, it’s one thing for you to scheme against this princess, but now you’re trying to obstruct my affairs?” Seeing that Qin Chu showed signs of softening for the greater good of the Azure Cloud Sect, Qian Lingwu breathed a sigh of relief. But Mo Daozi’s interjection was going to ruin her plans, so she immediately cut him off.
“Twisting right and wrong, when did I, Mo Daozi, ever scheme against you?” Mo Daozi frowned, as he had never done such a thing.
Qian Lingwu sneered, “Last time, this princess captured him, and you knew he had a special talent but didn’t say anything… You intended for this princess to kill him, letting the forces behind him trouble the Qian Dynasty, wasn’t that it? Today, this princess is here to take someone, not to kill him, so it’s impossible for you to use the forces behind him to scheme against the Qian Dynasty!”
After Qian Lingwu finished speaking, there was a sudden silence. Mo Daozi was bewildered, and Qin Chu also didn’t understand.
After a moment of silence, Mo Daozi smiled, “So you’ve discovered some things, which is why you don’t dare to kill him, right?”
Qian Lingwu didn’t speak. Qin Chu possessed Saint Blood, and he truly couldn’t be killed, because that would stir up a huge trouble. But she was unwilling to say it out loud, as it would damage her Aura.
After listening to the conversation between Mo Daozi and Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu also understood. Qian Lingwu said Mo Daozi was scheming against her because she had discovered his Saint Blood and believed Mo Daozi was setting her up. If she killed him, the Saint Blood Family behind him would retaliate. In reality, this was not the case. Mo Daozi understood his background; even if he were killed, no major power would stand up for him. In other words, Qian Lingwu had misunderstood, and this misunderstanding might just be a good thing.
“Mo Daozi, this princess never intended to kill him, just to take him away!” Qian Lingwu said, looking at Mo Daozi.
At this moment, Qin Chu took two steps towards Qian Lingwu, “You are truly pushing me too far. You want me to suffer your humiliation, which is absolutely impossible. Fine, this is fate, I admit defeat. Remember, my life is on you.”
After speaking, Qin Chu drew his Azure Spirit Sword and immediately moved it towards his neck. Would he really do it? Of course not. Qian Lingwu was afraid of him dying, so he would die a death for Qian Lingwu to see, just to scare her!
“Stop!”
Both Qian Lingwu and Mo Daozi shouted. Qian Lingwu had never intended for Qin Chu to die, and Mo Daozi certainly couldn’t let Qin Chu die.
“Qian Lingwu, aren’t you just trying to bully me? I admit I can’t beat you, but if I can’t live, can’t I at least die?” Qin Chu looked at Qian Lingwu.
“You bastard, this princess won’t make things difficult for you anymore! Mo Daozi, this princess wishes to stay for a few days as a guest. Will your Azure Cloud Sect accommodate me?” Qian Lingwu was somewhat helpless. Qin Chu’s death would bring her no benefit, she wouldn’t gain insight into the Sword Spirit Realm, and she would also create a powerful enemy. She naturally wouldn’t do such a thing.
“Are you sure you won’t make a move?” Mo Daozi inquired.
“I won’t make a move during this time.” Qian Lingwu nodded. She didn’t plan to make a move and only intended to talk with Qin Chu.
Mo Daozi breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that Qian Lingwu had her reservations. Due to some twists of fate, Qian Lingwu didn’t want to see Qin Chu die, nor did she want to force him to his death.
“Disperse!” Mo Daozi shouted to the Azure Cloud Sect’s Disciples, then turned and left. He couldn’t be bothered to look at Qian Lingwu; seeing her made him angry and feel somewhat humiliated, because she had come to their doorstep and still wanted to be a guest. Wasn’t that a slap in the face? But for the greater good, he could only endure it.
Qin Chu sheathed his sword, then turned and left. What did Qian Lingwu being a guest have to do with him?
Qin Chu thought this way, but Qian Lingwu didn’t. Qin Chu walked ahead, and she followed behind him.
“I say, Your Royal Highness, I am a Utility Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. I’m going to the Utility Disciple Courtyard. Are you following me there too? If I go to pee, are you going to follow and watch?” Seeing Qian Lingwu following, Qin Chu’s short temper flared up.
