Chapter 80: Agreement

Lin An thought about it and felt that if the Water Mirror Sect cultivators were willing to give in, it would not be impossible to make peace. After all, he could not stay in the mountain village and protect the villagers forever.
“Then I’ll follow you.” After he spoke, Lin An used his lightning avatar and flew towards the Water Mirror Sect’s territory.
“What a fast movement technique!”
“He can actually transform into lightning. His cultivation is indeed extraordinary, and he must have been born with a noble background.” The two disciples exclaimed in surprise once they saw Lin An’s swift movement.
The entrance to the Water Mirror Sect’s territory was made of stacked rocks.
The rocks were rugged and very strange, and on top of the entrance was a huge vermilion plaque with the words, “Water Mirror Sect” written on it. The sight was very heroic.
If one stood at the gate and looked into the distance, they could vaguely see a large square surrounded by clouds and mist between the mountains, and on both sides of the square, there were several neat houses.
Above the mountains, many disciples were flying on their swords as they headed in different directions.
Whoosh!
After Lin An had taken in his surroundings, the two Water Mirror Sect disciples who had delivered their sect master’s invitation finally arrived at the entrance and stopped beside him.
“Please, come this way.”
The two disciples had become more courteous, and they led the way.
The path was paved with stone bricks, and after half an hour, Lin An was brought to a towering hall.
It was the same meeting hall where the elders had discussed how to handle his affairs.
Several Water Mirror Sect elders who had high cultivation levels sat on both sides of the meeting hall.
In the middle of the hall was a middle-aged man wearing some white ordinary clothes.
Lin An walked into the meeting hall and in an instant, numerous gazes fell on him.
“Let me ask you, is your master Qian Yi from the Jiuxiao Sect?” Gu Wenfei’s dignified voice rang out.
Lin An did not speak, and the meeting hall instantly fell into silence.
All the cultivators present were dumbfounded. They immediately felt that Lin An was disrespecting their sect master.
“Since it’s a peace talk, then let’s talk. Why are we talking about irrelevant things?” Lin An finally replied after he saw that the atmosphere had turned cold.
Gu Wenfei looked at Lin An in deep thought before he continued, “That’s right. The reason I invited you here today is to resolve the misunderstanding that has arisen between us over the past two days.”
“Alright, then tell me, how do you want to resolve it?” Lin An answered calmly.
Gu Wenfei glanced at his subordinate and said, “This all started because you killed my disciple…”
“Stop!” Lin An quickly interrupted and retorted sharply, “How can you accuse an innocent person? Did I kill one of your men? Or did he fall to his death? Furthermore, this all started because your men tried to steal my ink devil beast. I was just defending myself.
In the end, your disciples were immoral. Why did they try to steal my monster? If it were up to me, they deserved…”
“That’s enough!” Gu Wenfei promptly interrupted Lin An’s incessant chatter. “Then let’s get straight to the point. Before you came, we had already discussed this. As long as you apologize to everyone today, we’ll let bygones be bygones.”
Lin An couldn’t help but sneer. His eyes swept across all the cultivators present in the hall, and he said, “I’ve already stated my position. From the beginning to the end, it was your disciples who initiated the trouble. I didn’t do anything wrong in this matter, so why should I apologize to you?”
After a prolonged moment of silence, Gu Wenfei finally asked, “Then, according to your opinion, how should we resolve this matter?”
Lin An paused for a moment. He had agreed to attend the meeting to make peace, but if the back and forth continued, they wouldn’t be able to come to a conclusion, so he said, “How about this? Since it’s a misunderstanding, why don’t we all have a meal together today and get to know each other better? In the future, we’ll all be friends. This matter will be considered to be over. Sect Master, what do you think?”
Gu Wenfei sized up Lin An as he thought about his proposal. The rivalry between them had originally been caused by his disciples’ unreasonable actions.
Many of the cultivators who had wanted to snatch Lin An’s ink devil beast had been killed in retaliation.
The elders who had sought revenge over their colleague’s deaths had failed, so it seemed that the Water Mirror Sect would have to swallow its pride and make peace with Lin An.
Additionally, the matter had to be resolved amicably due to Qian Yi’s illustrious reputation.
Once Gu Wenfei agreed to Lin An’s terms, he immediately decided to rush back to the Jiuxiao Sect.
…
After a few days of traveling, Lin An encountered a forest and saw that there were quite a lot of wild beasts roaming around.
In order to earn some lottery coins, he entered the forest and planned to hunt down the monsters for a few days.
Over the following days, Lin An hunted all kinds of monsters and earned several lottery coins.
When he got tired, he would use the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed to rest, and once he woke up, he would continue to hunt the monsters.
“Croak!”
During the journey, Lin An suddenly heard an unpleasant croak.
When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw an extremely ugly giant frog. It had two lantern-sized eyes, and countless little poisonous insects were crawling on the surface of its stinky smooth skin.
As he looked at the monster, Lin An realized that it could actually speak.
“Croak! I need some food. Unfortunately, I’m thin, and I don’t have enough to eat.”
Lin An was a little surprised. According to what he had read, demonic beasts needed to cultivate to the peak of the golden core stage and successfully pass the fourth heavenly tribulation. Only after they had entered the nascent soul stage could the demonic beasts gain intelligence and speak human language.
If they went on to cultivate to the peak of the nascent soul stage and pass the fifth heavenly tribulation, they would enter the infant transformation stage, and only then could the demonic beasts transform into human form.
Since the giant frog could speak, but it could not take human form, Lin An concluded that it was a demonic beast at the nascent soul stage.
After the giant frog croaked, its long and thin tongue, which was full of barbs, shot towards Lin An like a long spear.
“Lightning Dharma Body!”
Lin An used the Lightning Dharma Body to instantly dodge the attack.
However, the toad did not give up. It opened its mouth wide and suddenly sucked in spiritual energy from all directions.
Instantly, spiritual energy from the surrounding monsters surged into its body, and its entire figure continuously expanded.
For a moment, Lin An was secretly worried. He felt that the toad monster was holding back its ultimate move.
“Black-and-white ashen flames, profound flame transformation!”
Lin An immediately used his strongest attacking skill to strike the toad monster.
At the same time, the toad bounced up from the ground. It looked like a cannonball, and its ugly and huge body crashed into Lin An.
However, Lin An did not dare to be careless. He threw his fist, which was covered by the black-and-white ashen flames, towards the monster. The force generated by the punch was equivalent to that of wind and thunder as Lin An’s fist heavily slapped toward the toad monster’s head.
Bang!
Lin An’s powerful fist smashed fiercely onto the toad monster’s head, causing its entire face to twist and distort.
After that, its huge body freely fell from the sky.
In an instant, the toad monster formed a large pit as it smashed into the ground, and a foul-smelling liquid flew up in all directions.
Lin An’s black-and-white ashen flames had been amplified by the profound flame transformation, which had caused a huge injury to the toad monster. The nascent soul stage demonic beast had just been beaten down to the ground, and it couldn’t get up anymore.
Without hesitation, Lin An pulled out his Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword with the aim of ending the toad monster’s life.
However, he was shocked after a few figures suddenly appeared from the forest. They held bows, arrows, knives, and spears, and without uttering a word, they charged towards the toad monster.
