About to Rise
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The One Immortal and Two Sages had long reached great heights, and they lived in seclusion all year round. Everyone in Jianghu respected them, but very few people were really afraid because these three living deities disdained to deal with the juniors of Jianghu under the mountains.
But Pacifying Heaven Cult Master Xue Baijin was different. Xue Baijin was truly a figure who still roamed Jianghu. If not for the fact that Feng Guancheng was also in the Heavenly South, and it wasn’t good to be too ostentatious, he would have long become the martial arts alliance leader of the Heavenly South’s Jianghu.
The Moon Goddess’s martial arts skills weren’t very high, but with such a husband standing behind her, it was really not a problem for her to treat the Red Flower Pavilion and the Water Cloud Sword Sect as juniors.
If not for the fact that she had interacted with the Zhou family when she traveled in Jianghu in the past, with the status of the Moon Goddess, she wouldn’t have deigned to go to the small Zhou family to celebrate a birthday.
The Moon Goddess wanted both forces to take a step back. Be it the Red Flower Pavilion or the Water Cloud Sword Pool, they didn’t have the confidence not to give her face.
The famous figures present heaved a sigh of relief and observed Zhou Huaili’s reaction.
After all, the Moon Goddess was clearly standing on the side of ‘morality’ and helping the Red Flower Pavilion uphold justice.
For the sake of the Clear River Wharf, Zhou Huaili didn’t even care about his face. When he saw the Pacifying Heaven Cult suddenly jump out to disrupt the situation, his face instantly darkened to the extreme.
But the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master’s status in Jianghu was obvious. Ze Province was also bordering Chong Province. If the Pacifying Heaven Cult wanted to kill their way over, it would probably take less than three days. Furthermore, they could really exterminate the Zhou family. When Sword Saint Zhou Chiyang returned, there would probably be an extra head hanging in front of the door.
Zhou Huaili gritted his teeth for a long time, but he slowly suppressed his anger, turned around, and cupped his hands. “I didn’t treat my guests well and made a fool of myself in front of you, Madam Xue. Since you have spoken, I won’t say anything. Let’s take a step back and do as you say.”
Everyone looked at the people of the Red Flower Pavilion.
Song Chi, Chen Yuanqing, and the others felt relieved when they saw the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult come out to uphold justice. They turned to look at their young master and found…
The young master was still maintaining a ruthless gaze and a murderous attitude while pointing his spear at the door of the Seeking Sword Hall!

What the f*ck do you want to do?!
Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were stunned when they saw this!
The expressions of the famous Jianghu figures turned from relief to shock! Does this hothead even want to talk back to the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult? Can’t you tell that she’s speaking up for you?!
Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were full of fear. They wanted to pull the young master, who was being overly pretentious, away, but the young master was standing on the boulder, so it wasn’t convenient for them to do anything. They wanted to see what the pavilion lord wanted to do, but in the end…
Pei Xiangjun, who was standing behind them and pressing her hand down on the bird that was about to stick its head out, stood rooted to the ground in a daze and didn’t react.
??
Song Chi was confused. He looked at Chen Yuanqing from the corner of his eye. Whaf does this mean?
Chen Yuanqing had an extraordinary bearing with one hand behind his back, but there was fear in his eyes. I don’t know! What should we do?
Ye Jingtang, who looked murderous, was actually stunned on the spot.
He looked fiercely at the entrance of the Seeking Sword Hall, but his emotions had already changed countless times.
Isn’t this cold and mature voice my Sister Little Watermelons’?
She’s here too? What a coincidence…
No! Why is Heroine Luo speaking so domineeringly? According to the occasion…
F*ck.. Moon Goddess!
Whose woman did I touch…
That pervert who likes men is the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master?
I’m dead for sure…
Pei Xiangjun was also thinking.
Why does the voice of the Moon Goddess sound exactly the same as that of Jingtang s lover?
Jingtang is also stunned. It seems its not Just me…
Oh my god! How could Jingtang s lover be the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master’s woman?
If this matter spreads, the Red Flower Pavilion will probably be exterminated by the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master…
What should I do, what should I do…
Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion standing there like a killing god. They didn’t understand what this ruthless man wanted to do.
Even Zhou Huaili was stunned, but he didn’t say anything. His meaning was probably: Kid, if you have the guts, continue to speak fiercely. I respect you as a man!
Finally, the cold voice sounded from the Seeking Sword Hall again. “Young Master Ye, do you have any objections to my words?”
Her voice was as cold as an iceberg and seemed angry!
The Jianghu people present knew that something was wrong. Song Chi and the others were anxious and wanted to go up and apologize.
Fortunately, the young master wasn’t that unreliable. He finally reacted and put away his spear unhurriedly. His posture was still a bit unruly as he cupped his hands. “Madam Xue, since you have spoken, 1 will naturally give the Zhou family some face. Today’s matter ends here. I wish Old Master Zhou a long life.”
With that, Ye Jingtang flicked his sleeves, jumped off the boulder, and strode away.
When passing by Jian Yuhua standing by the shore, he immediately stopped. “You have offended the Zhou family. You won’t live for more than a few days. Let’s go. If the Zhou family dares to do anything to you, I will definitely help you pay them back tenfold in the future!”
His voice was very loud. It was not for Jian Yuhua to hear but for the Zhou family.
Ye Jingtang could tell that Jian Yuhua was in a bad mood. The Zhou family must have something on him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so dejected after speaking out righteously.
Although he didn’t know Jian Yuhua, he felt that the only person in the entire Zhou family who was worthy of the word ‘chivalry’ in front of the door was this young man with the eyebrow staff.
After Ye Jingtang finished speaking, he ignored the expressions of the Zhou family people and strode away with the disciples of the Red Flower Pavilion.
Tread, tread, tread…
The heroes of the Red Flower Pavilion quickly disappeared outside the Seeking Sword Hall. The shore of the lake fell silent again, leaving only the last rays of the setting sun illuminating half of the word ‘chivalry’ on the boulder. The light was not strong, but it was extremely dazzling at this moment.
All the people here had different expressions on their faces. Looking at Jian Yuhua standing alone on the shore, someone wanted to speak, but he hesitated.
Jian Yuhua kept his head lowered and moved his legs slightly, as if he wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake.
But a martial artist’s backbone was too hard, and he couldn’t bend his knees no matter what. After a long silence, he finally threw away the eyebrow staff in his hand.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
After glancing at the bamboo house on Morning Dew Mountain, Jian Yuhua turned around and left, walking toward the boundless rivers and mountains.
“Senior Brother Jian…”
“Yuhua!”
The fellow disciples wanted to persuade him to stay, but a heart-wrenching shout came from inside the villa.
Jian Yuhua stopped in his tracks, but he couldn’t turn around. He only wiped his face and disappeared from the lake.
Tread, tread…
Soon, a figure in a long dress ran out of the building complex and chased outside the manor.
Zhou Huaili’s eyes turned cold. He was about to scold her when footsteps came from the side of the Seeking Sword Hall, and a hoarse chuckle sounded.
“Why are you standing outside? Lin, why is your hair all white…”
“Oh, Elder Zhou is here. The two juniors were sparring just now, so we came out to watch the battle. Elder Zhou, how is your health?”
“I think I can survive this year. Let’s go in and sit down. Huaili, come and entertain the guests…”
“Hehe…”
Outside the Seeking Sword Hall, there was some commotion again.
Zhou Huaili put his hands behind his back and looked at the deserted lakeshore for a long time before suppressing the boundless anger in his heart. He turned around and returned to the hall. “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone… Come, serve the wine. Today is my father’s birthday. Thank you for coming…”
Soon, the setting sun sank behind the mountains, and the lights of the Zhou Manor lit up. The sound of music could be heard everywhere, and the place looked festive.
But the entire manor fell into a strange atmosphere. Whether it was the guests or the Zhou family members, they were chatting and laughing absent-mindedly. Everyone was smiling, but no one’s smile was genuine.
This was because everyone knew that although the matter on the table seemed to be over, a storm was silently brewing.
This storm might suddenly stop because of the strange death of the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion.
But it might become an ever-expanding typhoon that pulled the Red Flower Pavilion, the Water Cloud Sword Pool, Jun Mountain Terrace, and so on into it until it evolved into a calamity that swept through the Yun and Ze provinces…
