Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Fiery Second Brother

“Is that any way to treat Daoist Qing Song?” admonished Feng Haochen.

“Shifu, Qing Song is the most advanced cultivator at Moyun Mountains. I brought him under control out of consideration for your safety. It will be handy if you have a Primordial Infant Realm slave to serve you after we depart,” explained Lie Shang.

Lie Shang was unaware Ghost Gate sent someone to Moyun Mountains when he first returned. While he tried to locate Gui Xuanyue, the latter was also paying attention to him. Lie Shang didn’t return to Dustfallen Sect because he was worried Gui Xuanyue would tail him. Only after news of the elemental demons’ resurgence spread did he decipher Reverend Jiuhua and Gui Xuanyue’s relationship. Gui Xuanyue was out for Daoist Qing Song’s life; the alternative was to subdue Daoist Qing Song, but Lie Shang stepped in to protect Daoist Qing Song for Cheng Yan and Qing Mei’s sakes.

Lie Shang didn’t explain the circumstances to Daoist Qing Song as the latter wouldn’t have obeyed if he failed to deliver the message clearly. The most economical method that’d also prevent Gui Xuanyue controlling Daoist Qing Song was simply to control Daoist Qing Song first. Furthermore, he’d have another piece on the board to fight Gui Xuanyue.

“It is only fair for this humble servant to take care of you all after Master helped him ascend,” Daoist Qing Song farcically expressed.

“Qing Song, stand up. Lie Shang, have him stand up,” commanded Feng Haochen. “What were you thinking? Have you still not learnt to control your impulsive behaviour? Do you know Qing Mei and Cheng Yan’s relationship?”

“Hahaha, Shifu, I didn’t stop them when they were having a tryst that night. Didn’t I even have Daoist Qing Song come here and try to help them consummate their marriage?” Lie Shang responded before tapping Daoist Qing Song with his foot to signal for the latter to stand.

“What tripe was that?!” Cheng Yan thundered before he entered and knocked Lie Shang over the head.

Lie Shang cheerfully replied, “First Brother, you don’t have to worry about your father-in-law making life hard for you in the future now. You should be thanking me. More importantly, Ghost Gate would’ve eliminated Daoist Qing already if I didn’t get to him first.”

“Elder Qing Song, I apologise. My junior brother did not mean that. Qing Mei and I love each other genuinely. I hope to receive your blessings. I do not want to force you into approving because Qing Mei is your daughter. You need to decide for her.”

Daoist Qing Song and Cheng Yan were in an awkward predicament, but Daoist Qing Song was in no position to say anything but smile.

“Lie Shang, where did you obtain the slave pill from?” Feng Haochen inquired, hand to his forehead.

Though the twin devils were mischievous, Lie Shang was the least obedient disciple. As for Mu Yu, he loved to see the world burn and join in on mischievous adventures.

“Hehe, I acquired it from an elder of Pill Cauldron Sect. He told me you were the one who created it.”

“I’m going to ignore that matter for now. You know what to do.”

“Yes, yes.” Lie Shang yanked Daoist Qing Song over by his collar, frightening the elder. Lie Shang warned, “If you can brush off others; however, you are not to defy my shifu. I gave you your Primordial Infant Realm cultivation. You are to treat my shifu as your master. If he suffers any harm, I’ll skewer you even if you’re First Brother’s father-in-law.”

“Your shifu is my master. I will bear that in mind.” Daoist Qing Song went down to kowtow to Feng Haochen again. “Sir, Qing Song will never defy your will. Please give any orders you wish.”

“Do you really need to say that? The first thing you can do is approve of your daughter’s relationship with First Brother,” scolded Lie Shang.

“Right, right. They are a match made in heaven. Qing Song would love to bring them together.”

In truth, Daoist Qing Song wasn’t against Cheng Yan marrying his daughter. Cheng Yan was talented, and his juniors were monsters in their own right. Plus, who was Feng Haochen? Was Daoist Qing Song losing in any capacity?

“Thank you, Elder Qing Song,” Cheng Yan expressed, peering into the distance.

“Elder? First Brother, are you acting stupid or actually stupid? My heart almost shattered when I saw Qing Mei return to Green Pine Sect, you heartless man.”

“Courtesy of you, no? Mu Yu didn’t recognise you, so he mistook you for the enemy,” Cheng Yan said with a glare. “Thank you, Father-in-law.”

Some of Daoist Qing Song’s tension finally melted as he smiled.

“Daoist Qing Song, how is Reverend Jiuhua at the moment?” Mu Yu queried.

A smug tone crept into Daoist Qing Song’s voice. “Jiuhua Sect is no more. They are now part of us, I mean, Sir Feng.”

“I don’t follow,” stated Feng Haochen.

Daoist Jiuhua clarified, “Reverend Jiuhua and Elder Chilong abruptly vanished last month. Jiuhua Sect crumbled as a consequence, so we swept in to absorb their former members. You only need to say the word, and Green Pine Sect, along with all the other sects, will be at your command.”

Lie Shang scoffed, “He’s lucky he ran fast.”

“They will be back,” Mu Yu opined, knowing far too well Reverend Jiuhua and Elder Chilong left Moyun Mountains to offer their services to Ghost Gate.

“It’ll be fine. Daoist Qing Song is under the control of a slave pill. Therefore, they can’t control him. I’ll set up more formations to hamper their activities,” Feng Haochen asserted.

“First Brother can’t wait any longer. Shifu, you and Qing Song need to get on with First Brother’s wedding. Come with me.” Lie Shang dragged Mu Yu out of the hall without asking for the latter’s permission. He released Mu Yu once they arrived at Dustfallen Precipice.

“What do you want?!” grouched Mu Yu.

“Had Shifu not stopped me, I would’ve flattened you back there. What sort of question was that? Cheng Yan is the best at controlling the elemental demon power inside him. He’s mature and can control his emotions. Xiang Nan is honest and calm, so he’s also fine. You’re like a imbecile with an eye disease, blinking compulsively. Ever heard of control?”

“Piss off. I’ll stomp you.” Mu Yu threw Xiaoshuai out of his sleeve, angry with Lie Shang for leaving Lan Ling’er behind for so many years.

“You’re not stomping squat!” Xiaoshuai cussed.

Lie Shang was indifferent to Mu Yu’s challenge. Lie Shang caught XIaoshuai and threw the egg again. “Shifu said you are an apt cultivator as I am. Do you know what that means?”

Mu Yu caught Xiaoshuai and muttered, “I wish you and I never end up in the same sentence.”

“As a wielder of fire, my temper is fiery. You control wood, so you’re passionate, which is similar to me. If we don’t train our minds, we’ll be prone to the power lurking within us taking over. I’ve found a way to control the power. You learn it, got it?”

“How?”

“Cheng Yan and Xiang Nan can control theirs without it. I had to master Dustfallen Mental Cultivation’s sixth level to achieve it. Calm your mind, understand?”

“Thank you, Captain Obvious.” Mu Yu looked away and paused before questioning, “Why did you leave?”

“Hmph, I was afraid I would hurt them if I couldn’t control the power.”

“Oh, so you hurt people, didn’t you? What position are you in to be lecturing me, then? Let’s see… ah, you hurt Ling’er, right?” Mu Yu mocked, jumping up and down as he pointed at Lie Shang.

Lie Shang coldly knocked Mu Yu’s hand away. “It’s none of your business. Though she didn’t blame me, I couldn’t forgive myself. Hence, I left Moyun Mountains. I came to take her with me now that I can control my power.”

“Has she agreed to leave with you?” Mu Yu bitterly inquired.

“Not just her. Xiang Nan, Cheng Yan, his lover and you, of course, will be leaving with me. The spiritual qi outside Moyun Mountains is much more abundant. That’s the only way you’ll improve faster. As for the twins, I’ll come for them once they’re old enough to cultivate.”

Mu Yu didn’t like the decision – mainly attributed to Lan Ling’er. Watching Lan Ling’er and Lie Shang flirt didn’t sit well with him.
