Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 925 - 478: Shut Out at the Door

"After we parted ways, I was saved by Elder Cangsong and brought to Wangwu Mountain to recuperate.

Outside, there was chaos everywhere, and since my serious injuries hadn’t healed, I couldn’t travel far, so I temporarily stayed here.

Luckily, I had made quite a number of connections before, and obtained a deacon’s badge from the Outer Court of Sword Sect, so I simply took up the job of purchasing and trading for the mountain, engaging in some business myself.

Who would’ve thought, fate would reunite us, and you have become the Sect Leader and Mountain Master..."

Tang Tong received a handkerchief soaked in medicinal wine passed by Tie Dan, wiped the blood off his face, and covered the bump on his head, blood clots clogged his nose, speaking in a muffled voice,

"Of our batch of fellow disciples, it’s just the two of us left... Oh, where’s Jian Jia?"

Tie Dan temporarily withdrew his smile, fell silent for a moment, took a swig of medicinal wine himself,

"... Not dead yet."

"Not dead yet..."

Tang Tong saw his expression and understood, remained silent for a moment, scratched his head,

"Alright then, as long as he’s not dead. Immortal and mortal, each has their destiny, don’t concern yourself too much.

Tie Dan, sooner or later you’re destined to become immortal and achieve the dao. If fate permits we’ll drink together, if not just help sweep the grave, it’s no big deal."

Tie Dan furrowed his brows,

"You’re not coming back to the mountain with me."

Tang Tong seemed to want to stretch lazily to show relaxation, but tugging on his muscles brought pain, forcing a bitter smile,

"Thank you for the kind offer, Sect Leader, but I am self-aware, I’ve understood long ago.

Back then, with all limbs intact, I couldn’t obtain what I sought, now being disabled, how could I possibly acquire it? I just don’t have that fate.

Even if in this life I strive tirelessly, I may not attain True Man Nascent Soul.

If I can’t preserve the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, even if reincarnated through soldier disintegration, I wouldn’t be Tang Tong anymore, what meaning would that have?

Don’t worry about me, I’m living well now! Such a vast property, with dozens of Daoist companions taking care of me.

Life is beautiful! I wouldn’t exchange it for being an immortal, haha!"

Tie Dan turned his head and surveyed the commercial building wrecked beyond recognition, glimpsing Tang Tong’s so-called good life.

Tang Tong coughed,

"Cough, cough, just a temporary setback, in life there’s often not full satisfaction.

Occasionally meeting a foolish second-generation heir is normal. You don’t need to interfere, I can handle it."

"Bang!"

The plaque of Tang Clan Chamber of Commerce fell off, shattering to pieces.

Tang Tong glared at the plaque.

Tie Dan shook his head,

"Come on now, don’t fool me, you were beaten for at least a stick of incense, there’s not even a shadow from the people on the mountain. Who’s looking after you?

Besides, the badge you hold is issued by Tian Gang, who cares about his reputation now? Where can you settle down here?"

Tang Tong scratched his head,

"Then how about... you issue a badge for me too?"

Tie Dan glanced at him,

"Alright, that’s easy. Don’t just ask for a badge, I could give you hundreds and thousands.

But in this world, who’s touched the threshold of extraordinary and carefree immortality, willing to give it up?

What talk of enjoying earthly wealth, witnessing worldly splendor, is nothing but self-deceiving rhetoric of a defeated dog.

In this world, there’s no heavenly destiny, no immortal fate, ultimately it’s about connections and relationships, having someone set it up early on.

Old Tang, just because you lack destiny with Sword Sect doesn’t mean you lack destiny with me.

Now that I’m rebuilding Nine Yin, it’s a time of manpower need, I’d lend you a hand, ensuring you reach Nascent Soul Realm, what difficulty is there in making you an elder of my New Sword Sect?

Of course, if your self-respect is too strong to accept, you can strive on your own.

I’ve carved the Nine Luminaries True Method at the mountain gate, anyone can try. As long as you can learn the Sword Scripture and pass the Sword Array, you’ll be a Sword Sect disciple, with your name in the Sword Pavilion.

You’re the one lamenting that Honzan doesn’t transmit righteous methods, now I’m transmitting to you, do you dare to strive once more?

At worst, die by the sword, after all, you won’t suffer any loss."

Tang Tong was speechless,

"Where have you seen anyone persuade like this, be a bit more subtle please..."

Tie Dan stood up,

"Alright, I’ll take a stroll, let you ponder over it, come back to take you away, is that subtle enough?"

Tang Tong hurriedly pulled him back,

"Wait, where are you going, is it to kill off a whole family again?"

Tie Dan shrugged,

"I told you, I’m just taking a stroll... it’s my sword that’s going to kill a whole family."

Giant Watchtower was happy.

Tang Tong too held his forehead,

"I’m truly afraid of you... alright, alright, I promise, I’ll try again, if I can’t obtain Sword Transmission... then you can lend me a hand."

"Alright."

Tie Dan nodded, smoothly pulling Tang Tong up.

Tang Tong added,

"But today’s matter will count as my karma, I’ll settle it myself when my Divine Skill succeeds, no need for you to overstep and take care of it for me."

Giant Watchtower was unhappy.

Tie Dan was curious,

"Why so distressed, let your sword cast the final strike, resolve the karma, isn’t that enough."

"Sigh... You act too recklessly, always thinking everything can be resolved by the sword, but worldly matters, tangled and intricate, can’t be so easily cut off... You came to Wangwu Mountain this time, not specifically looking for me, right? Seeing you alone with a sword, not here to overthrow the mountain and destroy temples, there must be official business to pay respects to the mountain, right?"

Tang Tong sighed, pointing at a corpse near the entrance, caught off guard, killed instantly in two halves by the Sword Wind, a Golden Core cultivator dead on the spot,

"This guy is Outer Door disciple of Yantai Palace, took Gate Valve’s tribute, became their Guest Elder, involved in this karma wanting me to sell the shop.

He has four Daoist companions all on the mountain, bonded wives cultivating in Hidden Immortal Valley, an ancestor is Inner Sect of Stubborn Elder’s Grotto, a grandson taken by Taiyi Peak as a child.

Heard recently became wealthy, even found a Junior Sister of Qingtang for Dual Cultivation, though this can not be counted."

Tang Tong pointed to several mountain peaks shrouded in mist in the distance,
