I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 157 - 128: A Leap to the Heavens, Half-Step Celestial Human

Upon hearing this, he immediately fell silent.

The three old men present were all experienced and shrewd. The slight change in Lu Chengfeng’s expression was immediately noticed, and they realized that this young fellow was reluctant to return to the Sect and risk his life.

Li Jiuchong, known for his fiery temper, grumbled, "You, young brat, do you still refuse? The Sect taught you cultivation techniques and martial arts, making you capable. Now, in the Sect’s time of crisis, you want to hide in Jade Dragon Mountain and watch the drama unfold?"

"Such behavior is truly unfilial. How did your master teach you?"

"How I teach my disciple is none of your concern." Suddenly, a cool, female voice came from outside the door, and before the words were finished, Zhu Yuxian’s silhouette had already appeared in the room.

Her arrival was unbelievably sudden, so much so that none of the others even noticed how she appeared. This kind of mysterious lightweight technique was truly astonishing.

Upon seeing her, Li Jiuchong’s demeanor weakened by three parts. Though he was bold enough to speak frankly even to the First Seat of the Five Peaks due to his status as a Master of Casting and an Inner Peak Elder in the Sect, he felt a headache facing Zhu Yuxian.

Zhu Yuxian was notorious for being unreasonable and straightforward, often disregarding rules. Anyone who provoked her would receive a brutal beating, regardless of their status.

Plenty of Inner Peak Elders had suffered under her hands.

Just a moment ago, Li Jiuchong’s anger towards Lu Chengfeng made him forget that his master was this fearsome Zhu Yuxian.

Seeing Zhu Yuxian now caused his heart to skip, yet he refused to concede verbally, saying, "No matter whose disciple, they are a disciple of the Sect. In the Sect’s life-and-death peril, hiding away is truly shameful!"

Zhu Yuxian wasn’t about to show face to these old guys who relied on their age, casting a cold glance at him, "My disciple, afraid of death, is risking his life executing missions for the Sect in the Central Capital, assassinating prodigies on the Wind and Cloud List."

"Even the retreat path to Jade Dragon Mountain was his handiwork, planned and executed with his own hands, though there are some inside details unknown to you all, and I can’t be bothered to explain."

"As for you old folks enjoying your leisure on the mountain and now escaping to Jade Dragon Mountain for refuge, what right do you have to criticize him?"

"If not for him, do you think you’d be peacefully staying on Jade Dragon Mountain?"

Li Jiuchong, left speechless and red-faced by these words, could only give a cold snort, turning his face away without further speech. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Elder Wen, being much older and having witnessed many things and people, understood that some matters simply couldn’t be forced. He sighed and said to Yun Mo, "What is the trump card you mentioned? We’re at such a critical juncture; must it remain hidden? Or is it that you fear we old folks might let it slip?"

"In my view, you should clarify matters, explain them to this young fellow, and see if there’s any chance of repelling the Lord of Youdu. Otherwise, if he goes to his death in vain, it’s better to keep him here, ensuring the Sect’s legacy endures."

These words were quite fair, and everyone turned their gaze towards Yun Mo.

Even Lu Chengfeng, full of curiosity, wondered what resources the Sect had that could possibly withstand a Celestial Human.

As his cultivation realm deepened, and his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Law grew, he increasingly appreciated the terror of a Celestial Human strong person.

The Inner Cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, the condensation of Law Intent, connecting with heaven and earth, with every move carrying the power of the heavens, can split mountains and stones, create tidal waves, conjure storms and thunder, and wield all sorts of wondrous powers.

Even a Half-Step Celestial Human is insignificant before such a powerful being.

What kind of trump card does the Yuncang Sword Sect possess, one that gives Elder Yun Mo the confidence to confront the Lord of Youdu?

Elder Yun Mo hesitated and pondered for a long time before speaking, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be disclosed lightly."

"You should all leave. I have something personal to discuss with this young fellow Lu."

Everyone exchanged glances. Luo Suyi looked at Lu Chengfeng, and seeing him nod, obediently left first, pulling Qiutong along as they exited.

Zhu Yuxian cast a glance at Li Jiuchong and Elder Wen. Although they were curious about the secret, with Yun Mo’s words and Zhu Yuxian’s presence, they naturally did not wish to provoke this demoness and hence turned to leave.

"No matter what Yun Mo tells you, remember to prioritize your own life. With your talent and current martial arts prowess, you’ll soon be able to sweep across the world."

Zhu Yuxian looked at Lu Chengfeng and said, "Even if Yuncang Mountain gets destroyed, as long as you live, the Sect can be rebuilt. Everything else is just trivial."

"If you die, even with all the contingencies they have, they might not ensure the Sect’s legacy. Not everyone is qualified to master the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."

Having said this, she left without waiting for Lu Chengfeng to respond.

The room instantly fell silent, leaving only Lu Chengfeng and Elder Yun Mo.

Elder Yun Mo took out a jade talisman and crushed it, a bright yellow True Qi rippling like water and soon dispersing like a gentle breeze.

Yet, Lu Chengfeng could sense the True Qi surrounding them like a net, moving. Such control over one’s True Qi was simply masterful.

"This concerns the Sect’s core secrets, so I must be cautious." Elder Yun Mo looked at Lu Chengfeng, "Before I tell you this Sect secret, I have one question for you."

He fixed his eyes on Lu Chengfeng and asked, word by word, "Where did you learn the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword from?"
