"Wuji Canghan Sword!"
Hua Ling Mountain Master exclaimed in a low voice, staring intently at the long sword in Qin Si's hand.
No one noticed his unusual reaction, their gazes following the sword light that had silently traveled a thousand miles.
The sword light was sharp and chilling, like a white dragon soaring through the clouds. Instantly, heavy snow began to fall, and a violent roar echoed from the west.
In the center of the continuous Red Maple Mountain Range, a snow-capped mountain that had been frozen for a thousand miles was abruptly bisected. Amidst the sea of crimson maple forests, the white snow stood out starkly, out of place.
When a cultivator reached the Mahayana stage, their vision could extend for tens of thousands of miles. At a glance, they could see hundreds of people on the snow-capped mountain.
These people were none other than those from several major families and the imperial family of the Golden Sparrow Kingdom!
A single sword of great fortune!
With this one sword, the heavens and earth were overturned, directly expelling the people from the several major families more than a hundred thousand miles away!
Even Master Ku La, who was usually as calm as a still ancient well, could not help but be astonished.
"Amitabha, Dean Qin's mastery of the Way of Space seems to have reached the realm of perfection." Master Ku La gently moved his prayer beads, his lips moving, but no further words followed.
Snowflakes drifted silently in the conference room, a touch of white landing on the raven-black hair.
Qin Si, who had been leaning against the back of his chair, shifted his posture and gently brushed away the snowflakes from Bai Shengyi's hair.
He seemed to ignore the probing or wary glances from everyone, his long, thick eyelashes lowered, concealing the chill hidden within his phoenix eyes.
The Sun family head, the Lou family head, and others, unable to see the situation of their own people and waiting to witness Qin Si's downfall, were shocked to hear Qin Si's deep, cold voice.
"Master Ku La, Your Highness the Demon King, Shopkeeper Wan, this venerable one wishes to establish a dojo and build Divine Enlightenment Mountain with the snow-capped mountain in the Red Maple Mountain Range as the boundary. From then on, within Divine Enlightenment Mountain, all, be they commoners, cultivators, spiritual plants, or spiritual beasts, shall be the Mountain Spirits of Divine Enlightenment Mountain."
Qin Si rose from his chair, and the Mountain Master Seal suddenly flew from his palm, hovering in mid-air. Countless streams of spiritual light, green, red, and other colors, converged from all directions, all pouring into the Mountain Master Seal.
The wind began to howl, the hem of his red robe adorned with golden dragon patterns flapped, and the man stood tall and elegant, enveloped in myriad spiritual lights, his expression indistinguishable.
Master Ku La seemed to see the scene of his first meeting with Qin Si again.
That was when he also stood amidst countless surging spiritual lights, with the Great Venerable Qingyun behind him. Clad in dark robes, Qin Si was merely a boy of fifteen or sixteen, his eyes downcast, making him inscrutable.
However, thinking of what had happened to him, Master Ku La sighed softly, recited a Buddhist verse, and then said, "Mountain Master Qin's righteousness is great. The Buddhist sect has no objections."
Lin Qingyu's long eyebrows arched freely, his tone laced with amusement, "This king has long been displeased with the character 'three'."
Hearing this, the Hua Ling Mountain Master's gentle smile slightly retracted.
He wasn't sure if it was his illusion, but he felt as though the Demon King had discovered something, and these words were directed at him.
Lin Qingyu picked up a peacock fan and waved it, "Hurry up, this king guesses that Shopkeeper Wan will also have no objections, right?"
"Your Highness the Demon King can just call me Xiao Wan," Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile, cupping his hands.
He had a round, prosperous face that made him look endearingly simple and kind when he smiled.
However, no one dared to underestimate him. Despite his benevolent appearance, he had defeated and killed quite a few cultivators at the Soul Transformation and Mahayana stages with his broken saber.
Everyone only knew his surname was Wan, but not his full name, and he never mentioned it himself. Rumor had it that although he was the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he was not its owner, which was why he only appeared when major matters arose.
Bai Shengyi, however, looked at him with suspicion again.
"Junior Sister, what are you doing?" Qian Ying asked in a low voice.
Bai Shengyi shook her head, "It's nothing. Senior Sister, look quickly at the expressions of Lü Fuping and Li Tingyun."
Shopkeeper Wan was speaking at that moment: "The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion greatly anticipates cooperation with Divine Enlightenment Mountain."
This was an acknowledgment of Divine Enlightenment Mountain's status.
Lü Fuping and Li Tingyun's faces turned from green to black, a rather amusing sight.
Sensing Bai Shengyi's gaze, Lü Fuping glared at Bai Shengyi fiercely. Bai Shengyi, however, slowly drew a radiant smile.
"Trash," she mouthed silently, spitting out two words.
Lü Fuping's eyes widened in disbelief, an even more unacceptable sight than seeing Qin Si actually become the Mountain Master.
How dare she! How could a junior be so disrespectful and devoid of deference!
Lü Fuping became increasingly enraged, her anger instantly consuming her reason. Her eyes seemed to spew fire as she slammed the table and stood up, "Bitch! You... Pfft!"
Before Lü Fuping could finish her words, she was sent flying by the Mountain Master Order!
The palm-sized Mountain Master Order seemed to find the impact not fierce enough and struck Lü Fuping's chest again.
"Pfft!"
Lü Fuping coughed up a mouthful of heart blood and directly fainted!
"Qin Si! Aren't you going too far!" Li Tingyun could no longer sit still.
More importantly, if Lü Fuping continued to be tormented like this, who would dare to work for the Supreme Sect in the future?
Now that Qishan Pavilion had betrayed the Supreme Sect, Lü Fuping was a woman they could not afford to lose.
Li Tingyun swallowed his anger, glaring darkly at Qin Si, as if demanding an explanation from him.
Qin Si slightly raised his phoenix eyes and said calmly, "The Mountain Master Order is not my magical treasure."
This meant that he had not controlled the Mountain Master Order just now.
As if to echo his words, the Mountain Master Order spun cheerfully in mid-air, then swayed, taking deep and shallow steps as if drunk, and bumped into Bai Shengyi's embrace.
Bai Shengyi was stunned.
"It's... dizzy?" she couldn't help but poke it.
The token looked smooth, but felt incredibly cold to the touch. Its texture seemed like jade or some other spiritual ore. When she poked it, a thumbprint actually indented.
"Wow!" Bai Shengyi was incredibly curious.
The Samsara Brush grumbled in her sea of consciousness, "What's there to be amazed about? It's just a Mountain Master Seal. Don't be so surprised. When you collect the Brush Brush's nine types of fire, you'll be over the moon!"
"Little Vine Leaf is also very rare!" Qiong Meng Vine interjected at the opportune moment.
Seeing the Mountain Master Seal nestled in Bai Shengyi's embrace and refusing to leave, Qin Si was taken aback. He then pursed his thin lips, his eyes darkening, and quickly stepped forward,夹ing the token with two slender, jade-like fingers.
"Come here."
He hadn't even hugged Shengyi properly yet. Why should this little token get to?
The Mountain Master Order struggled out of his fingers and landed in the man's broad palm. At that very moment, the snowflakes dissipated, the air cleared, and the warmth was like spring.
A thunderous roar sounded, and spiritual rain poured down, nourishing all things.
"Heaven's will has actually acknowledged him?" Li Tingyun almost gritted those words out through his teeth, his fingers grinding the armrest of the chair and table into powder.
Whether it was forcing Qin Si to hold the meeting earlier, or the arrival of a sect and two pavilions later, even with the sect and two pavilions supporting Qin Si, Li Tingyun had not panicked. This was because as long as Heaven's will did not acknowledge him, Qin Si, as the Mountain Master, would be nominal and would have no power to contend with the Supreme Sect.
But now, a bolt of thunder made Li Tingyun completely lose his composure!
Did this mean that Heaven's will had also chosen Qin Si?
Why?
