Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother Chapter 28 Part2

On the sixth day after their return from Eight Winds Cliff, Xi Fang summoned the ten disciples of Hui s.h.i.+ peak to gather at Qing Xu hall.

Xi Fang's refined countenance softened: “Since you have found the ‘Profound Wood Spirit Stone' the 《Restoration Sutra》will be given to Hui s.h.i.+ Peak. Who among you will be the one to inherit it?”

It was well known that today was just a formality and it was only reasonable that the 《Restoration Sutra》should be pa.s.sed on to Jun YanZhi.

Liu QianMo stepped forward with a lowered head, coughed softly, and said something completely shocking: “We have decided amongst ourselves that Mo ShaoYan should be the one to inherit the 《Restoration Sutra》.”

Mo ShaoYan froze.

All of those from Hui s.h.i.+ Peak turned their eyes towards Jun YanZhi only to see him standing quietly exhibiting not a single a trace of surprise or shock.

Xi Fang's smile also quivered for a moment. However, he was the head of the Qing Xu sword sect and after glancing at Jun YanZhi he smoothly continued: “Very well, then tomorrow he shall come to scripture storehouse to accept the inheritance.”

“Yes.”

Leaving Qing Xu hall, Mo ShaoYan grabbed Jun YanZhi's arm and spoke with great emotion: “Many thanks to Senior Brother Jun!”

Jun YanZhi smiled faintly: “A trivial thing.”

“Senior Brother Jun, why would you pa.s.s the inheritance to me?” Mo ShaoYan was flushed with excitement.

Jun YanZhi smiled and said: “I've already built my foundation. This inheritance may not necessarily be of any use in core formation however you have not yet built your foundation and this inheritance would be of great significance for you.”

“But, it would also be better than nothing for you as well.” Who wouldn't want good things? Who could possibly dislike having something more?

“Needless to say, it's already been reported to the clan head. It's already a foregone conclusion.”

Everyone from Hui s.h.i.+ peak smiled as they watched.

Liu QianMo smiled and said: “Last night, Senior Brother Jun came to my room and convinced me. Although you are the heir, don't think overmuch of the peak lord position and just listen to master's instructions.”

Mo ShaoYan, who had always been slow to speak, became increasingly agitated and incoherent: “I know, I'm not wanting the peak master's position.”

Peng Shao lamented: “Throughout the Qing Xu sword sect and even the entirety of Zhu Feng country, even if it wasn't an ancient scroll inheritance and just a single magic weapon, there are many that would fight with their fellow apprentices for such an opportunity. Junior brother Jun, this decision is very rare.”

Liu QianMo also said with pleasure: “It is very gratifying that my Hui s.h.i.+ peak continues to act in this sort of manner.”

Jun YanZhi smiled and remained silent.

For more than a decade he had been careful to not attract attention, but from today on he could no longer be silent.

He did not care about the 《Restoration Sutra》, but if something like this can give him a good reputation then there were no drawbacks.

He glanced at Wen Jing and his gaze rested on the youth's delicate features before immediately s.h.i.+fting away.

When all was said and done, could junior brother accept him as he truly was?

If he could accept him, then he will tell him; if he couldn't, then he would forever keep silent.

Whatever the case, they would be together.

Wen Jing was thinking of something completely different.

With the profound wood spirit stone, Senior Brother Jun's cultivation of wood techniques would not encounter any more bottlenecks. From now on he would experience a meteoric rise and would be free from worry.

The only thing he feared was how to save the lives of the Hui s.h.i.+ peak disciples.

The penultimate chapter of the novel described the downfall of Hui s.h.i.+ peak. At that time, Jun YanZhi was away, unable to return. Everyone, like the disciples of the Water Moon Palace in Eight Winds Cliff, went insane and killed each other.

In other words, preventing this matter could not rely on Jun YanZhi.

Only he didn't know if that not-so-great system could be used?

He wasn't some holy mother and he didn't have the skills to manage people's lives. But since his first day on this peak, he had been determined to not let these people die.

Therefore, he practiced even more diligently and a.s.siduously.

Finally, Mo ShaoYan inherited the 《Restoration Sutra》.

The news spread throughout the Qing Xu sword sect and caused a great deal of discussion.

The inheritance of one of the eight ancient scrolls was surrendered without even a hair of protest. Jun YanZhi was so magnanimous that everyone in the sword sect from the peak master down to the most ordinary disciple felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

If this man was not a saint who sincerely cherished his junior brother then he could only be a fool past redemption.

Only 24 years old, had already built his foundation three years ago, gentle and polite……

This kind of amazingly talented young man, in what way did he look like a fool?

Even Tian Heng peak all quietly murmured that their cherished junior brother Wen RenMu wouldn't necessarily decline so modestly. Furthermore, it was lamented that Wen RenMu declining such an opportunity would do no harm to himself and would have little effect. Jun YanZhi's refusal in comparison couldn't even be mentioned in equal terms.

To give what you don't need was charity, but to have something everyone wanted and to allow it to pa.s.s through your hands was true generosity.

Therefore, whenever Jun YanZhi was mentioned in Qing Xu sword sect, it would elicit a warm feeling in the listener.

Not to mention, both his bearing and appearance were that of an immortal.

Just these points alone convinced many female disciples.

Everyone was thinking, with this type of appearance and conduct, how could he have remained unnoticed for so long?

This naturally aroused some people's dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Although Wen RenMu was unmoved on the surface, as for his inner thoughts, only he himself knew.

The Eight Winds Cliff secret territory can only remain open for about a month. The Water Moon Palace's twelve sect masters had sent people to Eight Winds Cliff to partic.i.p.ate. Sixty-eight disciples in the Qi Refining stage and fifteen Foundation stage were carried home as corpses. The bodies were thoroughly checked and it was determined that their injuries were entirely self-inflicted. There was no doubt.

As for why the disciples would attack and kill one another, that could not be ascertained.

It was speculated that the disciples may have inhaled a poison called “Missing Soul”.

This poison was extremely difficult to make. It required dozens of rare spiritual gra.s.ses and also a kind of herb called “Three Worm Root” to serve as a base. This type of spirit gra.s.s happened to grow within Eight Winds Cliff. It was possible that they had been previously poisoned. Then, after entering the secret territory and smelling the fragrance of the “Three Worm Root” this would then trigger the following event. As for why, whether it was the opportunity to weaken the power of the Water Moon Palace or perhaps a kind of warning, this could not be concluded.

The twelve mistresses of the water moon palace were on alert.

♥♥♥

Sure enough, news of the conclusion of the system upgrade arrived punctually one month later.

“Asking host to make note, system upgrade failed, no change in functionality.

Origin: Data too large, unable to calculate.

Upgrade requirement: Host must form core.

A demon is currently carrying out evil deeds, however system is unable to make judgments for the host. As the host has submitted data that cannot be a.n.a.lyzed, it is recommended that the host keep a distance from the demon to ensure the host's safety.”

Wen Jing was silent.

He also wanted to stay away from this demon. The problem was who was this demon?

The youngest cultivator to form a core in the history of Zhu Feng country had a water based heavenly spiritual root. He had been forty-five years of age and became known as the pride of Zhu Feng country.

Even if Wen Jing could become more powerful than this person and formed his core by the age of thirty, by that time the disciples of Hui s.h.i.+ peak would have already died.

Therefore he pulled out the “unable to a.n.a.lyze data” provided by the system.

A box popped up in his mind.

“Zhangsun Shaoyi”

Wen Jing had never heard the name “Zhangsun Shaoyi” either in the book nor in the world he was now in. But since this was the only hint provided by the system, he had to check it out.

Translator's notes: Uh, I'm guessing that the Water Moon Palace has twelve leaders similar to the peaks of Qing Xu and not that it's referring to the 12th head of the sect. I could be wrong. Also, Zhangsun Shaoyi is either a rare double character last name or, it could be “Eldest grandson Shao Yi” I'm going with the name for now. Have I mentioned I cultivation terminology is hard? Yeah, it's hard. The stages go like this so far:

Qi Refining
Building Foundation
Core Formation (sometimes called Golden Core)
Nascent Soul? (yuan ying)
Immortal Ascension? (chengxian)
