The man who came was a male cultivator who had reached the foundation-building stage. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, but the look he gave Xu Chunniang was as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade.
Xu Chunniang was very sure that she had never seen this man before.
But judging from his appearance, he seemed to have a deep hatred for her and had no good intentions.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice asking a question.
"Are you Xu Chunniang?"
"I am. I wonder who you are and what's your business?"
The hatred in Huangfu Tian's eyes could hardly be suppressed, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"It was you who killed my sister?"
After hearing this, Xu Chunniang suddenly realized that this person was actually Huangfu Yao's brother, Huangfu Tian.
Seeing Xu Chunniang acquiesced without saying anything, Huangfu Tian laughed in anger, "Very good, very good."
He was just in seclusion to build his foundation, but after coming out, he found out that his sister was killed by an outer disciple who was ignorant of the scriptures.
However, Xu Chunniang, the murderer who killed his sister, was recognized by the Holy Mountain. She climbed the Holy Mountain and built her foundation in one fell swoop. He hated her even more.
How unfair is the way of heaven that it allows evil people to act so freely.
After learning about the disappearance, he immediately wanted to seek justice for his sister. However, his master was afraid that he would make a big deal out of it, so he ordered him not to leave Danfeng.
So until today, while the master was away and the barrier was loosened, Huangfu Tiancai had the opportunity to find out about Xu Chunniang and go to the main peak.
Xu Chunniang had a blank expression on her face. When she was determined to kill Huangfu Yao, she had thought that this day would come.
"How do you want to stay?"
"No matter what I do, I will naturally avenge my sister."
Huangfu Tian's eyes flashed coldly, "A life-and-death fight, do you dare to accept it?"
“Nonsense!”
Gu Yuanan came over to check on Xu Chunniang's progress in sword-wielding skills and happened to see this scene. His face darkened.
A fight between life and death is a type of fighting allowed within the sect.
If there is a life-and-death feud between two disciples, and the fight is to the point of death, they can apply to the Jindan Elder for a life-and-death fight.
After obtaining the consent of the Jindan elder, both parties can engage in a life-and-death battle.
Of the two parties participating in a life-and-death fight, only one can leave the arena alive, hence the name.
"When you two were just starting to build your foundation, you had to participate in a life-and-death battle because of some disputes. Have you ever thought about how difficult it is for a sect to train a foundation-building cultivator?"
Gu Yuanan looked solemnly at the two of them.
"You two have successfully established your foundation and have both obtained the third-grade Dao platform. No matter which one of you dies in the life-and-death arena, it will be a great loss to the sect. Even if you apply to the sect elders, they will not agree."
The fact that Xu Chunniang obtained the golden Taoist priest was too shocking.
Therefore, Sect Leader Lu Yuanming suggested that they only announce to the outside world that she had obtained the third-grade Taoist platform, so as to avoid attracting malicious inquiries from other sects.
Even Gu Yuanan only thought that Xu Chunniang had obtained the third-rank Taoist position.
After hearing this, Huangfu Tian's eyes flashed with strong resentment.
Reason told him that what Senior Brother Gu said was right, and the sect would not allow a talented disciple to go to the point of fighting life and death.
But it was really tormenting for him to have to watch Xu Chunniang live freely.
He and Huangfu Yao are from the same mother and grew up together, and they have a special bond.
He can be rational about other things, but it is difficult for him to be rational about this matter.
"Tian'er, why are you so stubborn?"
With a light sigh, a golden-robed male cultivator came flying in the air.
This person is Huangfu Tian’s master, Zhang Tianxu.
"I know you and Huangfu Yao have a deep relationship, but cultivators have their own destiny. You have already established your foundation, can't you see through it?"
After Zhang Tianxu returned to Danfeng, he noticed that the barrier was broken and his disciples were nowhere to be found. After a little thought, he guessed that Huangfu Tian had gone to look for the man who killed his sister.
He sighed slightly in his heart. Huangfu Tian was a good child in every way, except that he was a little too doting and indulgent towards his sister.
Blind indulgence has made Huangfu Yao arrogant and domineering.
Her current ending is closely related to Huangfu Tian’s past indulgence.
Huangfu Tian's face turned slightly pale, "Master, I know, but..."
"No buts."
Zhang Tianxu shook his head slightly. "Huangfu Yao died at the hands of others, but don't forget that she died in Xiaoze Realm. Even if she was really killed unjustly, it was her fate."
Huangfu Tian felt bitter in his mouth. How could he not know what his master said
Once you enter Xiaoze, your life and death are decided by God.
It was wrong for him to come to Xu Chunniang to seek revenge openly.
But that was his little sister whom he had loved since childhood. The pain of losing a parent can only be understood by experiencing it personally.
Huangfu Tian was extremely intelligent. Although he was still sad inside, he had realized that his sister's death was inevitable.
It was impossible for him to use this opportunity to cause trouble for Xu Chunniang.
If he continues to make trouble, he will be the one making trouble unreasonably.
As a foundation-building cultivator, Xu Chunniang's Taoist rank is not inferior to his. She is also a disciple of Yue Yanru, the master of Qianji Peak. She is not a soft persimmon who can be easily bullied.
After realizing this, Huangfu Tian took a deep breath and bowed to his master.
"Disciple understands."
He would never mention the revenge for his sister's murder again. He would just keep it in his heart and reflect on it from time to time.
When I find an opportunity in the future, I will make Xu Chunniang pay for her blood with blood.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianxu nodded and said, "Come back to Danfeng with me. When you are completely calm, you can learn the sword-controlling technique again."
"Master, I have already wasted quite a bit of time. I want to start learning from today."
Seeing that Huangfu Tian looked serious and did not seem to be pretending, Zhang Tianxu nodded with satisfaction.
"Since you have figured it out, that's great. The road to cultivation is long, and some setbacks are inevitable. Temporary success or failure is nothing, and only the great way lasts forever."
After saying that, Zhang Tianxu glanced at Xu Chunniang and left.
Huangfu Tian laughed at himself and clasped his fists towards Gu Yuanan, "I was distracted for a moment and made Senior Brother Gu laugh at me. I will have to ask Senior Brother for help in my sword-controlling skills."
Gu Yuanan shook his head and smiled, "It's fine as long as you can figure it out. As for the sword-controlling technique, it's my job."
Looking at Huangfu Tian chatting and laughing with Senior Brother Gu, Xu Chunniang became secretly alert.
She didn't think that Huangfu Tian had really let go of his hatred.
He looked like he had figured it out, but there was no reason to pursue the matter any further.
She believed that as long as Huangfu Tian got the chance, he would attack her without hesitation.
However, as a fellow foundation-building cultivator, Xu Chunniang is not afraid of him.
She has no regrets about anything she has done, whether it is killing people or saving people.
After talking with Huangfu Tian, Gu Yuanan asked him to go to the classroom and wait first, then looked at Xu Chunniang beside him.
"You haven't been here for a few days. I wonder how your sword-controlling skills are progressing?"
Xu Chunniang said nothing, took out the flying sword and began to condense her energy, then leaped onto the flying sword suspended in the air.
After jumping onto the flying sword, her body continued to rise and only slowly stopped when she reached a high altitude.
