Just as Woodpine was about to make a move, he found that something was pressing on his shoulder, a certain energy had surged out and actually trapped him to the point that he was unable to use his powers. A cool qi flowed through his acupoints and into his heart, Patriarch Woodpine’s heart was suddenly calmed down quite a bit. He turned his head back and realised that it was actually his other partner, Watercharm. Watercharm’s eyebrows wrinkled on her icy face as she said, “Woodpine, in front of so many Dao Friends, you’re going to attack someone unknown? Haven’t you lost enough face?” Woodpine seemed slightly afraid of Watercharm. With a hmph, he sat back down. Watercharm stood upright on where she was, turned back and spoke to Reverend Elysian, “Reverend Elysian, your esteemed sect’s disciple was too disrespectful, I hope you can return a bit of face to my Pentashine Immortal Grotto.”
Without waiting for Reverend Elysian to reply, Reverend Waterstop interrupted, “Patriarch Watercharm, Hai Long seemed to be speaking to Patriarch Lianshu, and he didn’t pinpoint anyone exactly, why is there a need to return face to your Sect?”
Watercharm gave a snort, “Although my Pentashine Immortal Sect won’t make things difficult for this later generation, we will not sit idly and get ridiculed. Daoist Waterstop, if you’re not willing to address and admit the mistakes of your esteemed sect’s disciple, I will issue you a challenge in order to protect the dignity and glory of my sect.”
Daoist Waterstop fiercely stood up and said coldly, “Your Pentashine Immortal Grotto is too used to being arrogant, if you’re not ignorant, what are you? Hai Long didn’t say anything wrong. You want to challenge me? Sure, I accept.”
Reverend Elysian wrinkled her brows and said, “Junior Sister, don’t be rash, this is Brahmaheart Sect’s Sacred Ground, the decision should be left to Patriarch Cloudwake.”
Reverend Waterstop angrily replied, “I’ve endured this Pentashine Immortal Grotto for too long, their arrogance isn’t just for a day or two, if I don’t teach them a lesson, they will think that they rule this cultivation world. Senior Sister, don’t stop me, let me return her this ‘favour’. Patriarch Watercharm, how would you like to challenge me? I’ll accompany you till the end.”
Hearing Reverend Waterstop’s words, Hai Long was secretly elated, his previous disdain for Reverend Waterstop became more faint. He know that he couldn’t afford to offend any of the characters here, so he obediently hid behind Reverend Elysian’s back, and watched on to see how the two people would make their moves.
“Amitabha. Hope the two of you can give this old monk some face, and hold your horses. Our reason for gathering today is to discuss how to deal with the enemy, it isn’t wise to have internal conflicts.”
Watercharm nonchalantly said, “Patriarch Cloudwake, this matter concerns our Pentashine Immortal Grotto. Please be rest assured, I will not make my move here in your abode. Daoist Waterstop, we can have a battle outside Brahmaheart’s Sect grounds. As long as you can win against me, in the future my Pentashine Immortal Grotto’s disciples will hide every time we see anyone from the Cloudlink Sect. If you lose, you only have to bow and sincerely apologise.” The conditions that she dished out were quite favourable, which showed that she was confident of winning. Her words were also extremely firm, as if this battle could not be avoided.
Patriarch Cloudwake shook his head, and sighed deeply in his heart as he faintly said, “Since the two Dao Friends here have already decided, then to give this old monk some face, please have mercy.”
Watercharm coldly gave a hmph as power surged out, “Daoist Waterstop, I’ll wait for you outside, if you’re afraid then you can just admit defeat now.”
Lotus Sect’s Patriarch Lianshu stood up and lightly said, “Why don’t I exchange moves on behalf of Daoist Waterstop?” Under the concealment technique, she also couldn’t tell the true cultivations of Reverends Elysian and Reverend Waterstop, and stood up of her own accord because she was worried.
Watercharm’s face colour sank, both she and Lianshu’s cultivations were in the middle stages of the Infallible Realm, and their skills were almost on par, but Patriarch Lianshu was the chief of the Lotus Sect, hence she would have the advantage in terms of magical items, Watercharm was not confident of victory, “Patriarch Lianshu, could it be that your Lotus Sect wants to be an enemy of the Pentashine Immortal Grotto as well? This doesn’t seem to be a wise decision.”
Reverend Waterstop walked a step forward and smiled, “Your Pentashine Immortal Grotto has always bullied the weak but avoided the strong, Patriarch Lianshu, you don’t have to make them your enemy, let me take a few moves from the Esteemed Patriarch Watercharm.”
Reverend Elysian also stood up and sighed, “It’s been a few thousand years, and my Cloudlink Sect has never liked going against others. Junior Sister! Could it be that you really want us to have no choice but engage in this struggle?
Reverend Waterstop looked at her senior sister and replied, “Although I do not want to enter this conflict, since others have already bullied to our doorstep, how can we still sit back? Senior Sister, when we return, if Sect Patriarch wishes to blame anyone, let me take the blame. Take care of the brat Hai Long, don’t let him spout any more nonsense, let me go and take a few profound moves from the Pentashine Immortal Grotto. Patriarch Watercharm, after you.”
When Watercharm saw Reverend Waterstop rejecting Lianshu’s goodwill, she heaved a silent sigh of relief. As she floated up, her body was covered in a bluish glow as she flew down the mountain, to engage in battle outside Brahmaheart Sect’s grounds, one had to go through this mountain pass first to avoid the Brahmaheart Sect’s defensive barrier.
Cloudwake looked deeply at Hai Long, then spoke to Reverend Waterstop, “Why do you have to go to all this trouble?”
Reverend Waterstop sighed, turned her head to gaze at Hai Long and said, “This isn’t my wish, it’s just that the Pentashine Immortal Grotto’s bullying is too much. Hai Long, after I extinguish Watercharm’s haughtiness, I will come back and settle things with you, you actually dared to ignore my earlier words, hmph.” After her stern snort, she turned around then chased Watercharm’s shadow down the mountain.
Reverend Waterstop’s snort struck Hai Long like thunder as he almost lost his balance and fell down.
Patriarch Cloudwake said, “Let’s go, fellow Dao Cultivators. Let us go and take a look, if their battle becomes too extreme, I hope you fellow cultivators can assist me in stopping them.”
Xingtian seemed to take delight in this disaster as he said, “Cloudlink Sect and Pentashine Immortal Grotto battling, this should be interesting. I’ve long heard that the Skyheart Technique of the Cloudlink Sect is very special, hopefully I’ll be able to see it this time around.” Streaks of light beams rose as everyone headed down the mountain under Cloudwake’s lead.
Reverend Elysian pulled Hai Long into the sky as she part flew, part transmitted a message “Why did you cause trouble again? Junior Sister and Watercharm’s battle will definitely expose our Cloudlink Sect’s power. You... Junior Sister is truly enraged this time, after her battle with Watercharm, I’m afraid she won’t let you off.”
As Hai Long remembered the suffering on the azure cloud, he couldn’t help but shudder as he laughed somewhat hysterically, “Martial Ancestor, please save me!”
Reverend Elysian replied, “Let’s discuss after we watch the battle. Maybe if Junior Sister wins, her mood will improve.”
As a line of people flew out of Brahmaheart Sect’s Sacred mountain, they saw two people hovering in the air. They were of course, Watercharm and Waterstop. From the looks of it, strong blue lights emanated out from the blue halo behind Watercharm’s back, clearly exuding her power, whereas on the other hand, Reverend Waterstop just faintly hovered a hundred metres in front of Watercharm, the two of them just staring each other down, neither making any moves.
Hai Long interrupted, “Martial Ancestor, is Martial Ancestor Waterstop able to defeat that other Patriarch, I forgot her name. Since Pentashine Immortal Grotto called themselves the leading righteous sect, their power musn’t be weak. ”
Reverend Elysian smiled and transmitted back “You don’t have to worry about the outcome, Waterstop’s cultivation is slightly higher than Watercharm. Furthermore, in our Cloudlink Sect’s Second generation disciples, Waterstop’s cultivation is the weakest, hence she carries the most magical items, Remember she used the Prayer wheel? That’s one of the very few Immortal Artifacts of our sect.
