Chapter 495: Saint Hatred

Chapter 495: Saint Hatred

Dan Long slashed out with a sword, and Sword Qi swept across, landing on the Daoist temple's Formation and stirring up spectacular ripples, but it did not cause substantial damage.

Seeing this, Dan Long frowned and began swinging his sword rapidly, his vast magical power pouring out like a breached flood, shaking the earth.

The Human Race also heard the commotion, and one Cultivator after another flew out from the city to watch from afar.

They recognized Dan Long as the mighty figure who had preached the Dao to them.

"What is that Immortal doing?"

"It seems something is blocking him."

"Does he want to barge into the Immortal Land?"

"What should we do? Patriarch Zhou Fan once said that no one is allowed to barge into the Immortal Land. Could this mighty figure be an enemy of Patriarch Zhou Fan?"

"We have no other choice. It is best not to get involved."

…

No matter how Dan Long attacked, even affecting the Human Race's city, he still could not breach the Daoist temple.

The Hidden Sect, which was originally a bit nervous, all rejoiced, and those Innate Beings also began to ridicule Dan Long.

Li Daokong sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect Sect Leader to have such a Formation; it is completely impossible to sense what kind of Formation it is."

Li Xuan'ao nodded, smiling mockingly, "Look at Dan Long's appearance, flustered and exasperated. It is the first time I have seen him like this; it is truly disgraceful."

"He spoke so many harsh words, but in the end, he couldn't break in. Perhaps other Saints are watching."

After the time of half an incense stick, Dan Long gave up.

He floated in the air, his expression extremely gloomy.

He fell into a dilemma; advancing was not an option, and retreating was not either.

If he left just like that, the one losing face wouldn't just be him, but also the Human Sect.

If he continued to force his way in, it simply wouldn't work.

Han Jue's voice drifted out, saying, "Senior, there really are no members of the Human Sect inside the Hidden Sect. Please forgive me, Senior, and leave now."

He spoke very politely, wanting to give Dan Long a way out.

But giving him a way out now was completely useless!

Dan Long could imagine that the Saints were all staring at him from Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven. If he left today, he would truly lose all face.

But what other method was there at the moment?

Dan Long glanced toward the distant Human Race city.

The Human Race was so close to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River; could they be related to the Hidden Sect?

Dan Long's eyes flickered.

"If Senior wants to use the Human Race to threaten me, then is the foundational basis of the Human Sect's establishment still there?" Han Jue's voice came again.

This voice could only be heard by Dan Long.

Hearing this, Dan Long's expression became even uglier.

"Cut your losses in time, and do not let yourself fall into a place of eternal damnation."

Han Jue's voice once again reached Dan Long's ears.

He was not afraid of Dan Long, but he just didn't want to fall out with the entire Human Sect right now.

Hearing these words, Dan Long was thoroughly moved, and he turned around and left.

Although he was very unhappy with Han Jue, what Han Jue said was the truth.

After Dan Long left, heaven and earth returned to peace.

Apart from Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao, the one most affected was the Human Race.

After experiencing Dan Long's preaching, the Human Race all thought Dan Long was very strong, but they didn't expect that Dan Long couldn't even barge into the Immortal Land!

What kind of mighty figure was hidden within the Immortal Land?

In the subsequent years, the Hundred Peaks Immortal River would become a legend of the Human Race.

Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao completely relaxed, no longer worrying about being hunted down by the Human Sect, and could Cultivate with peace of mind.

Ten years later.

Han Jue received a Dream Message from Qiu Xilai.

It started spamming again!

Han Jue chose to accept; he wanted to see what Qiu Xilai had to say.

Within the dream.

As soon as Han Jue appeared, he heard Qiu Xilai ask, "You took in Li Daokong and Li Xuan'ao?"

Han Jue had long been prepared and said, "When I took them in, they no longer belonged to the Human Sect."

Qiu Xilai said, "You offended Li Muyi, so things won't go well for you in the future. Send these two people to my Buddhism."

As for Li Daokong, Qiu Xilai had been coveting him for a long time.

Among the Disciples of the Dao Sect, the most talented was Li Daokong.

Li Daokong did not possess the Chaos Physique; his talent was mainly reflected in his comprehension ability.

Not to mention the last tribulation, even counting several tribulations further back, Li Daokong's Aptitude belonged in a tier of its own!

Han Jue said, "Then I must ask about the attitude of the two of them."

"Hand them directly over to Buddhism."

"I'm afraid that won't do."

Han Jue shook his head and said, feigning difficulty.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Han Jue was not afraid of breaking relations with Qiu Xilai; otherwise, as time went on, Qiu Xilai would surely make more demands of him.

"Han Jue, do you still remember my kindness toward you?" Qiu Xilai spoke again, his tone becoming unprecedentedly cold.

Han Jue said, "I remember. I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future. It's just that right now I only want to Cultivate and do not want to participate in disputes. Li Daokong has a grace towards me, so I must take him in. Of course, if Buddhism faces trouble another day, I will not stand by and watch either."

He was talking nonsense; his Karma with Li Daokong wasn't that big.

Qiu Xilai naturally understood this point, but he was also unwilling to push Han Jue away directly, since there were still other Saints watching.

Even if Han Jue offended the Human Sect and Qiu Xilai, he could still defect to the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, or even other Heavenly Dao Saints.

Han Jue nowadays was not just as simple as a variable; the Hidden Sect had already demonstrated its potential!

Qiu Xilai said, "Just remember what you said. As for the Human Sect, I will help you intercede, but I hope this is an exception and won't happen again."

"Many thanks, Saint!"

Han Jue immediately replied.

[Qiu Xilai harbors hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 1.5 stars]

Han Jue turned a blind eye. For a Saint, being able to generate feelings of disgust already meant they were considered an enemy.

However, Qiu Xilai felt that Han Jue was still useful and temporarily did not want to break relations.

The dream ended.

Han Jue returned to the Daoist temple and continued to Cultivate.

Anyway, Saints could not enter the Immortal Realm, let alone break through his Daoist temple, so he didn't care at all.

However, Qiu Xilai's attitude also proved Li Daokong's Aptitude.

If Li Daokong were to Attain the Dao and become a Saint!

Han Jue's heartbeat quickened.

Aside from him, Li Daokong was definitely the existence closest to a Saint in the entire Hidden Sect.

What Han Jue needed to do was to Cultivate other Disciples in his spare time from Cultivating, so that he could keep on Cultivating. Whenever problems arose, he would have Disciples to help solve them.

…

After Dan Long left, the Human Sect did not send any more mighty figures to look for trouble; they seemed to have given up.

The Hidden Sect Grand Competition unfolded once again, and this time Li Daokong and the other joined.

Without any surprise, Li Daokong bravely seized first place, Li Xuan'ao and Dao Supreme tied and shared second place, Zhao Xuanyuan was third, Zhou Fan was fourth, Li Yao was fifth, and the rankings afterwards did not change much.

But this matter stimulated the Hidden Sect Disciples.

Would other strong practitioners join the Hidden Sect in the future?

In the same age group, they had confidence, but compared to those mighty figures who had lived for countless years, they were definitely far behind.

For a time, the Hidden Sect once again sparked a trend of bitter cultivation.

Li Daokong was not proud; he crazily challenged Han Jue once again and was ruthlessly killed in seconds, his Dao Heart almost shattering.

After battling Han Jue, he even doubted whether he was a Quasi-Saint.

The gap was simply too huge!

Just like that, eight hundred leisurely years passed.

On this day.

The vault of heaven suddenly filled with purple clouds, boundless and somewhat desolate yet beautiful.

Han Jue, who was Cultivating, opened his eyes and looked up, his gaze piercing through the Daoist temple to see the vault of heaven.

A thick wave of uneasy emotion was born in his heart.

He hadn't felt this uneasy in a very long time!
