"Master, we should go now. The Sect needs you."

At that moment, Lang Li calls on her master, who was strangely unmoving.

He has been unmoving ever since he heard her. His eyes was looking faraway as if it was seeing something only he could, a reminiscence that only he knows. What Lang Li told her master was-

"That hateful unfaithful man. That heartless man. It was him who forgot his promise. It was him who left. Leaving me behind."

The voice of that woman keeps repeating in the dark.

In the present, Zheng Jie was strangely unmoving. Slowly he turns toward his disciple, without even any bit of hesitation, he opens his mouth.

"No, I have never done anything like that."

He repeats

"In my life, there has only been the Dao. I have never known of worldly matters like that."

Lang Li looks back at her master. Suddenly she remembers the matter with the former chief disciple. It was known that love was forbidden within the Heavenly Sword Sect, even from back then. But why is he mentioning it now, when there are more important matter to attend to?

With a finger, he causes the ghost of his inheriting disciple to sit down. Slowly he passes more of his inner energy toward her.

If her body is still alive, there is still a chance. Perhaps he hasn't failed his master and sect yet.

However, that action causes Lang Li to ask so many questions.

The Heavenly Sword Sect is being destroyed right now, why is it then that the sect master himself is so carefree?

The wheel of destiny spins, and it was the Heavenly Sword Sect turn, but the Heavenly Saint is not actually that enlightened to let his own sect perish because it was the Heaven's will right?

Lang Li thinks he is not somebody like that. The proof was right here, he is sitting right here, caring for his disciple.

At first she was so scared that her master is going to follow through with his principles and send her off too. But he actually stops.

However, why is he sitting here?

After a while, her master's eyes start to become distant again. Time keeps passing while the disciples of the Free Travel sect panic at the strange act of the Heavenly Saint within their sect ground.

This man is a righteous person, he is not actually going to destroy the sect right? And what is with the strange energy they are feeling? Is something unfathomable happening right now? Should they take note?

The current of energy was stable, and it keeps moving, never faltering.

It actually materializes the ghost in front of Zheng Jie into a physical form, causing all the disciples of the Free Travel sect to be on alert after a beautiful woman suddenly appear. However, they could not see the ghost in the girl, only the girl in the girl.

It was testament to the unfathomable abilities of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master that the rules of the Heaven and Earth was turned upside down.

He always has the ability to do that, but as a righteous man, Zheng Jie would never do that.

And yet right now, in front of the Free Travel sect's disciple, something that overturns the Heaven and Earth itself is happening in front of them.

They only see a living girl, without any cultivation abilities at all in front of them instead of a ghost.

Even if they were all juniors in the eyes of the Heavenly Saint, they were all powerful cultivators. How could they not recognize the differences between a ghost and a living person.

And yet right now, all they could see was a living breathing person instead of a ghost.

It is as if the rule of the Heaven has been overturned for the short moment.

However, it could have gone further, Zheng Jie stops just at the last moment.

This is it for now.

He is never going to overturn the law of the Heaven. That is Zheng Jie's flaws, clear to all his peers, especially the like of Yan Yu and other. Currently there was one other peer.

After hearing Lang Li talk, Zheng Jie immediately knows just who exactly she is talking about.

Just by that vague details, he knew.

It was an extremely dangerous person that threatens the Heavenly Sword Sect right now. And yet, currently the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect is unmoving.

Lang Li could see that her master's eyes are distant. It has been distant for a while now, remembering something that only he could remember.

"Umm master-"

"Sit down Lang Li, you should not move with your conditions."

His eyes was distant again after glancing at his disciple.

"Master."

"Yes?"

"Why are you not returning to the sect right now?"

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect looks straight at her. His voice was normal.

"I don't need to. It is a shame what happened to the disciples, however, we could rebuild the sect later on, this was a powerful enemy after all, it was expected. However, it all has passed. You should not linger too much on the past, lest it affects your cultivation." His voice was cold

Lang Li looks at her master, uncomprehending

"Master, what are-"

He could not be this heartless could he?

Suddenly a voice keeps repeating in her mind.

"Zheng Jie is an unfaithful man. He would leave you without even caring

Zheng Jie is a heartless man. He does not care for anything except for his Heaven.

He would not care about you. He would not care about me."

Suddenly Lang Li has a headache, as the voice keeps getting louder and louder.

"No!"

She said. This has happened before. She would not fall for that again. Slowly, she calms herself, and asks herself, she knows her master well, now why would her master says that.

" I don't need to. It is a shame what happened to the disciples, however, we could rebuild the sect later on, this was a powerful enemy after all, it was expected. However, it all has passed. You should not linger too much on the past, lest it affects your cultivation."

It is not that he is uncaring of his disciples, it is that he didn't want her to dwell on the past tragedy too much, going against her Dao. Wait a moment, at that moment, Lang Li suddenly realizes

Past.

"It all has passed"

It has already been taken care of.

That was what Lang Li realizes. However, her master is sitting here, he did not know about that matter right until Lang Li told him. He did not know about the enemy at all, and they were a powerful enemies, that may require the power of the Heavenly Saint himself to suppress.

The enemies have multiple Star River cultivators and countless Constellation cultivators after all, how could they be common? Not to mention, their true master has not even shown her face yet, and that person's cultivation may be unknowable.

Furthermore, with their strange tricks, they were able to take control of multiple powerful Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, weakening the defense while bolstering their force.

The Heavenly Saint didn't even move, how could the matter has already been taken care of?

Lang Li glances at her master suspiciously.

This old master of her, he is too much of a monster, and there was many times that she couldn't even comprehend what he was doing, but is he really so enlighten that it was comparable to being omniscient?

Is he actually capable of quelling the chaos in the Heavenly Sword Sect by staring into the distance?

This matter, Lang Li knows not, however, this matter has already been done before, when Zheng Jie wipes out all Demonic Cultivators from the face of the cultivation world. It was on a much greater scale, but Lang Li knows not of it.

This matter, it should be trivial to the Heavenly Saint.

That is, if he could extend his Divine Sense to sense them.

However, he couldn't, they have eluded his Divine Sense from the start. Even now, he still couldn't sense them, effectively, he was blind and deaf when it comes to them. This matter, he could already infer from the current situation.

More importantly, from the start, the Heavenly Saint really was looking into the distance reminiscing instead of actually doing anything. However, he was adamant that the matter has "already passed".

Just how could a calamity that require the Heavenly Saint himself to quell has already been quelled without the Heavenly Saint not even moving one inch from his spot or even lifting a finger?

At that moment, the false Lang Li within the Heavenly Sword Sect's sealed ground finds out the answer.
