Many disciples along with Han Yunxi found the voice very unfamiliar. Everyone seemed to turn as one towards the source, including Long Feiye. They saw a white robed figure drifting languidly down the peak, his robes and white hair floating about him in refinement. It gave people the impression of some sacred god descending to Earth. A sense of respect rose unbidden to Han Yunxi’s heart at the sight.

“Is there really an old god residing on top of the mountain?” she muttered to herself.

Very soon, the white-haired man came to a stop. He looked about sixty and was slim and very tall. His back was ramrod straight despite his years, belying his apparent age. His robes had wide sleeves without any ornamentation, simple and plain. Only a single white jade hair stick kept his hair neatly bound up in place.

Despite his aged and wrinkled skin, his looks were still pleasing to the eye. Without a doubt, he must have been a handsome man in his youth. His long face was pulled into a severe expression as he gazed at Han Yunxi. This was none other than the grandmaster of Celestial Mountain Sword Sect, Long Feiye’s master Li Jianxin.

The surrounding disciples all fell to their knees in respect, while the various elders paid obeisance with hands clasped in front, Cang Qiuzi included.

“Greetings to Grandmaster!”

“Greetings to senior brother, congratulations on smoothly emerging from your cultivation!”

Many of the disciples at the two Depositories and Courtyards had been here for years, but they’d never seen the grandmaster’s true face. Everyone was quaking with fear as they knelt on the ground. After all, this was the current sovereign of the martial arts world. He had no opponent who matched his skills.

Long Feiye also paid his respects with hands clasped before him. “Master.”

Han Yunxi was awed by the sight of the man, but finally recovered here to pay respects as well. “Han Yunxi gives greetings to elder sword sect master.”

The sword sect master only spared her an icy glance before resting his eyes on Long Feiye. He was about to speak when Cang Qiuzi shoutd, “Senior brother, you have to seek justice for me! This lass had the gall to perform physical assault on Celestial Mountain and poison me. Feiye’s been utterly infatuated with her charms to tell right from wrong. He almost started fighting with the rest of the disciples!”

Duanmu Yao had just stood up when she fell back to her knees again to burst into sobs. “Master, you’ve finally come out. Sobsob….Yao Yao was wronged! Yao Yao doesn’t want to live anymore!”

The sword sect master finally noticed her existence since her mask had made it difficult to recognize her at a glance. He knitted her brows and asked, “What’s happened to your face?”

Duanmu Yao’s sobs sounded absolutely wretched. “Yao Yao doesn’t want to live anymore! No more!” As the sword sect master walked over to remove her mask, she stubbornly pressed it against her face.

“Master, if you take off this mask today, Yao Yao will immediately leap off the mountain. Then you’ll never see Yao Yao again!”

A threat?

Han Yunxi was rather disturbed by the words. She knew the old sword sect master doted on Duanmu Yao, but never expected his favor to run so deep that she could openly menace him in front of everyone else. The sword sect master didn’t seem to mind Duanmu Yao’s blatant disrespect and simply straightened up to ask the servant girl, “Crying and weeping, whatever next? Hurry and bring her back, take good care of her.”
