Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 908 - 470: Sworn Brothers

"Thank you, brothers, for your assistance! A small token, please accept it as a gesture of gratitude!"

After the heavens had eradicated the Demon Sect, then descended to chop apart the water-dwelling demons and rescued two old fellows who had drunk their fill, Tie Dan regained his Breathing Qi and expressed thanks to his sworn brothers.

Honestly, he had not anticipated that those brothers, casually befriended at Canghai Pass back in the day, would traverse thousands of miles to rescue him, promptly directing the Burning Clouds Baqui to bring out several boxes of Daoist materials as a thank you.

Unexpectedly, the leading brother Nie Yunlan shook his head and declined,

"Ninth brother, there’s no need for this, for we have come by decree to assist you in this calamity. Later, after escorting you back to the mountain, we must return to the Northern Land for further orders."

Tie Dan paused, "A decree? Whose decree?"

Nie Yunlan handed him a Jade Token,

"Naturally, it’s the Cloud Platform Chief’s decree here; a message came informing me that you, little brother, were in peril in the Central Plains, facing mortal danger, and special orders were given to us to support our brother. It’s truly fortunate we could arrive in time."

"So it was arranged by the Chief..."

Seeing that Qingcheng Jade Pendant, Tie Dan realized it was Lingxu who had foreseen his troubles and made these arrangements in advance, somewhat unexpectedly.

"However, one matter at a time, if not for the support from you elder brothers this time, your younger brother might have faced grave consequences. A small token, just to express my gratitude."

Yet, the crowd continued to decline, shaking their heads in refusal.

"Brother, truly no need to be formal. Among us, we brothers don’t need these things. Your Sword Sect has great resources, better to keep them for teaching disciples."

Tie Dan thought the others were being polite, and decided not to insist, thus casually opened the container,

"Brother, do not refuse, favors must be returned, debts must be paid, such is the truth. Receiving your aid from thousands of miles away, such heavy karma must be repaid. Come, come, let’s distribute these."

Unexpectedly, Nie Yunlan suddenly grabbed Tie Dan’s wrist, and the two dived into the container, saying with disappointment,

"Ninth brother, how could you not understand, we brothers are not Sect Leaders or Hierarchs, each one fed, and no worries for the entire family, but you aim to revive the Sword Sect!

Counting this, what you are crossing now is the calamity of establishing a sect! These things must be fought for, every bit, cannot be graciously given to others!"

Tie Dan paused,

"Brother, what do you mean? Please clarify?"

Nie Yunlan pointed to the mountain of Elixir Talismans and medicine in the container, took out an abacus and showed it to Tie Dan,

"Calculate it yourself, this stuff-filled box, it’s enough for a child to start with refining essence and building the foundation, entering the Golden Core Dao.

Though cultivation ultimately depends on the individual, the Sect Leader’s direct disciples, and the mountain’s secret talismans also must be tested and tempered further.

Yet if one possesses a Golden Core in the belly, the fate of joining the mountain gate can also be considered as a sect’s inheritor, an outside disciple.

So, this time, every box you return to the mountain can secure celestial fate for Nine Yin Mountain.

Whether you can revive the Sword Sect depends on this first harvest, how could we dare to divide these important things with you."

"I never heard such an explanation before..."

Tie Dan had never heard of the calamity of establishing a sect. He had been cultivating for a few years, yet could establish a sect already! No wonder so many chased him all the way, truly they were after the fortune of the Broken Sword Sect! He was anxious and confused for a while, realizing he had been tricked, lost twelve portions of celestial fate to Huazi! That Tian Gang, too, such a big deal, couldn’t he have said something before he died! More boxes should’ve been arranged, then! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Nie Yunlan comforted him,

"Ninth brother, do not worry, now that we brothers have arrived, we will certainly protect you back to the mountain. Any karma, we can go over it later."

"Alright, then many thanks to you elder brothers."

Tie Dan ceased his dilly-dallying, after expressing thanks, took advantage of the two being in the container, asked softly,

"Big brother, do you know which sect the Qingxiao Calamity Suppression Hand belongs to?"

Nie Yunlan thought for a moment about the Yun Tai Eight Diagrams,

"The Calamity Suppression Hand seems to be the secret skill of Kongtong Mountain."

Tie Dan nodded,

"Kongtong, got it."

Nie Yunlan glanced at Tie Dan,

"Kongtong Mountain ranks among the top of the nine major sects, the Kongtong Four Elders are at the Peak of Divinity Transformation, at Grandmaster Level, not easily messed with."

Tie Dan nodded,

"Thanks for the advice, little brother understands."

Whether he truly understood, others naturally didn’t need to say much.

Thus, with the assistance of his eight sworn brothers, he managed to pass the Yu River without much danger. Since the brothers didn’t take the containers, the gained Jiao Dragon Treasure on the ground was naturally divided among them.

This battle left Baqui the most severely injured, unable to escape, choked on several mouthfuls of water, bitten several times, covered in blood.

Yet, being a Primordial Strange Species, treated with Miracle Spiritual Elixirs and hormonal conditioning by the Immortal Palace for years, it wasn’t easy to perish, growing quickly, regained his condition after eating some dragon meat mixed with herbs.

But what’s interesting is, the biggest harvest from this battle was for Fen Yun.

While combing the battlefield, scavenging corpses everywhere, he found a Dragon Whip in the center of a tangled mess of Jiao creatures!

Yes, that whip, according to the brothers’ observations and identification, had pure dragon breath, unexpectedly turned out to be a True Dragon Whip!

From the site of discovery, reasoned estimation indicated, apparently a True Dragon and great demons like Jiao and pythons twisted and entangled so fiercely, or was ambushed, resulting in the whip being torn off.

Thus, the Jiao Python returned carrying the True Dragon Whip, the whip’s True Dragon Essence Blood infected and strengthened the entire snake group, upgraded them into Jiao Dragons...

A multitude of Mountain Men marveled, proclaiming Fen Yun, brother with deep blessing, such a Great Treasure we shall not compete for, it belongs to you.
