"Brother Qin, something huge has happened!" Lin Zhan blurted out as soon as the call connected, his voice rushed.
What kind of huge news could there be? Qin Zhengyang, who was in the middle of a hike, felt his expression change. In that brief moment of distraction, he was overtaken by the old friends he was climbing with.
"Your granddaughter... she’s incredible! She’s the Sect Leader of Wudang now, and even the Huang Family of Bao Zhiling has acknowledged her as their master. Tell me, isn’t that..."
"Nonsense!" Qin Zhengyang cursed in anger. He had thought it was some major crisis that had him so worried, only to find out Lin Zhan was just messing with him. Sect Leader of Wudang? The Huang Family has submitted to my granddaughter? Damn it, why don’t you just say my granddaughter is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?
"Lin Zhan, I never thought you’d stoop to lying," Qin Zhengyang said. "Tell me, did Old Zhang put you up to this? To use such dirty tricks just for a mountain climbing race... you people are despicable!"
"..." On the other end of the line, Lin Zhan was stunned.
Qin Zhengyang hung up. He, Lin Zhan, and Old Zhang were all veterans from the army. Today, Qin Zhengyang had arranged to race Old Zhang up the mountain. He had been confident of his victory, but this unexpected call had cost him precious time. Fuming, he scrambled furiously to catch up.
Lin Zhan was still at a loss for words when a Wudang disciple suddenly appeared beside him. "Are you the Head of the Lin Family? Our Sect Leader’s father wants to see you."
Lin Zhan frowned. What could Wu Tian want with me? He didn’t dwell on it, however, and simply nodded. He had once given Wu Tian a black card, so their relationship was fairly good.
Another person present was not so pleased. It was Nalan Jie. He had come today merely to enjoy the spectacle, not expecting to witness Wu Tian and his daughter display such terrifying power. He no longer dared to act presumptuously in front of Wu Tian. Just then, a Wudang disciple approached him. "Nalan Jie, correct? Our Sect Leader’s father wants to see you. Come with me."
Nalan Jie trembled, his face turning pale. Is Wu Tian going to kill me? After all, Wang Wei is already dead.
Taking several deep breaths to compose himself, Nalan Jie finally managed to say, "Lead... lead the way."
The soldiers and Ye Tianshi remained stationed outside the New Holy Land, the look of astonishment yet to completely fade from their faces.
"I really didn’t expect this," one of them said. "Me neither. To think a little girl would become the Sect Leader of Wudang and the true master of the Huang Family."
"But what surprised me even more is that Qi Ling actually lost to a young man. They’re going to prosper now."
"Prosperity? Or misfortune?" Ye Tianshi mused aloud.
"Why do you see it that way?" the soldiers asked, turning to him.
They knew Ye Tianshi was a descendant of General Ye. Although he was the same age as them, his words were sometimes even more accurate than those of Marshal Zhou Weimou.
Ye Tianshi said, "The Sword Saint will inevitably find out about this. When that happens, will he allow Wu Tian to replace Huang Xuantian as one of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country, or will he kill Wu Tian to avenge Huang Xuantian? Nothing is certain."
The name "Sword Saint" sent a shiver through the soldiers’ hearts. For someone to bear that title, wouldn’t his swordsmanship have to be truly transcendent?
"Then, Celestial Master, what’s your take on it?" one soldier pressed.

Wu Tian’s smile was warm and sunny, but to Nalan Jie, he looked like an Asura that had crawled out of hell. Will I die if I answer incorrectly? The mere thought made Nalan Jie tremble uncontrollably. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I... I am willing to merge the Nalan Group into the Qin Corporation and defer to them from now on."
