Chapter 121: 121. Must go through the main entrance, cannot take the back route.
After leaving Moon Viewing Peak, Yu Qing hurried back to Yujian Peak.
Along the way, many disciples greeted Yu Qing, she responded politely but did not stop her pace, soon entering the Sword Lake located in the deepest part of Yujian Peak, where True Master Yu Jian practiced in seclusion, a place off-limits to ordinary disciples.
Yu Qing briskly walked in and met True Master Yu Jian in the middle of Sword Lake.
This was a vast and clear lake filled with countless swimming fish, which upon closer inspection revealed themselves to be Spirit Swords that moved leisurely like living creatures.
True Master Yu Jian was seated cross-legged on the lake’s surface, as if on flat ground, without causing a single ripple.
Yu Qing quieted her footsteps and approached the lake, True Master Yu Jian slowly opened his eyes: “You’re back.”
Yu Qing bowed respectfully and said: “Master, about the incident at Moon Viewing Peak…”
True Master Yu Jian interrupted softly: “No need to say more, your master is already aware. I didn’t expect this youngster’s talent to be so terrifying. Having only learned a single Sword-controlling Skill, he was able to forcefully take the enemy’s Spirit Sword through sensing alone, surpassing even the Wuji Sword Saint.”
These few words from True Master Yu Jian conveyed two meanings; the first being she also spied on the events at Moon Viewing Peak, and the second being more concerned about Fang Zhou’s talent rather than the destruction.
To this day, True Master Yu Jian did not believe that Fang Zhou had learned the Sword Control Technique, but thought that he had only learned the Sword-controlling Skill carved on the Stele at the Cloud Bridge during his entry-level trial, and just with this, he could forcefully control an enemy’s Spirit Sword—such talent indeed was terrifyingly exceptional.
She now wished she could rush to Moon Viewing Peak and snatch Fang Zhou away; if Heavenly Sword Sect could acquire this child, they could easily leap to become the foremost sect among the Three Great Holy Lands.
Sadly, such an outstanding seed, yet to be spoiled by that thug Ling Xiaoyue.
Seeing her Master suddenly sigh with emotion, Yu Qing was slightly taken aback. After thinking, she sincerely said: “Master, isn’t Elder Yan afraid that Senior Ling will come back and take back Moon Viewing Peak?”
True Master Yu Jian gave a slight smile: “Before you arrived, the Law Enforcement Department had already reported to me; they plan to demolish the whole of Moon Viewing Peak. So what can Ling Xiaoyue possibly take back when she returns?”
Yu Qing was shocked, so that was the plan of the Law Enforcement Department, no wonder Elder Yan was so fearless.
This was simply a plan to remove the foundation; Moon Viewing Peak was not a significant place for Heavenly Sword Sect, by demolishing the entire peak, Ling Xiaoyue’s return would be futile.
Previously this might not have been necessary, but now it seems, the Law Enforcement Department is determined and will not change their decision.
Yu Qing worried about Fang Zhou’s predicament and couldn’t help saying: “Master, if we make Fang Zhou resent Heavenly Sword Sect, how can we then recruit him into our sect?”

She knew that from the time of the entry-level trial, True Master Yu Jian had always wanted to steal Ling Xiaoyue’s thunder.
In response to Yu Qing’s concerns, True Master Yu Jian simply said.
“Let nature take its course.”
Seeing her Master close her eyes, Yu Qing could only take her leave.
…
After Yu Qing left, Fang Zhou returned to the bamboo house by the waterfall.
But he couldn’t calm his mind.
Elder Yan Gulan gave only a month’s deadline, while Ling Xiaoyue couldn’t return for several months, so he couldn’t rely on her.
If Fang Zhou doesn’t figure out a way to handle this within the month, he will undoubtedly be expelled by Heavenly Sword Sect.
As for taking back Moon Viewing Peak after Ling Xiaoyue’s return, Fang Zhou was not so optimistic, as the Heavenly Sword Sect wasn’t foolish; daring to act this way, they surely have prepared for Ling Xiaoyue’s reaction.
By the time she returns, the situation would have already cooled down.
Thus, Fang Zhou had to handle this crisis himself, and thinking about it made him irate—damn, even starting to Cultivate, why encounter such nonsense like a forceful demolition.
A Cultivator having to deal with such trivial and vile matters seriously is just too low.
Fang Zhou started to meditate hard on a solution.
The Heavenly Sword Sect held absolute martial power, Fang Zhou was not Ling Xiaoyue, so he couldn’t confront them head-on, even Ling Xiaoyue had to flee multiple times.
So Fang Zhou could only take a roundabout approach to find the weaknesses of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But as a large sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect definitely didn’t have any obvious weaknesses, otherwise, its lineage would have been discontinued long ago.
Fang Zhou spent an entire day in deep thought inside a bamboo hut and finally thought of a weakness of the Heavenly Sword Sect that wasn’t really a weakness.
He noticed that in dealing with Ling Xiaoyue, the Heavenly Sword Sect often feared being ridiculed by fellow cultivators and didn’t want to escalate matters. Even in the entry-level trials for recruiting new disciples, there were many details that showed the Heavenly Sword Sect greatly cared about the opinions of fellow cultivators.
It was evident that the Heavenly Sword Sect was a sect that greatly valued face-saving.
Caring about face isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but there’s always a fear of overdoing it.
For the sake of maintaining face, countless foolish mistakes have been made throughout history.
Fang Zhou immediately realized that he could take advantage of this and indeed, the Heavenly Sword Sect held military power.
But who said that confronting military power must involve using military power?
After thinking of a plan, Fang Zhou was invigorated and immediately took out his private savings, approximately ten thousand taels – not too much, not too little.
These ten thousand taels had long been coveted by Ling Xiaoyue, and were definitely not going to be kept, so why not spend them now?
Taking his private savings, Fang Zhou used the Sword Control Technique and summoned the Xuanyuan Sword.
He stepped on the Xuanyuan Sword and left Moon Viewing Peak, flying towards Yujian Peak amidst the sea of clouds.
Riding a shuttle and flying with his own Sword Control Technique felt completely different; the shuttle had protective features, while using the Sword Control Technique relied solely on his own Spiritual Energy for protection.
Fang Zhou couldn’t even project his Spiritual Energy outward to shield himself from the wind, and was so blasted by the cold wind en route that his face nearly went numb.
This was still him controlling the speed; any faster and he feared his clothes might be blown away.
Upon reaching Yujian Peak, he randomly chose a stone platform to land on.
“Halt, who goes there!”
Immediately, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect appeared and stopped Fang Zhou, examining him with a curious gaze: “Which lineage are you from, and why have you trespassed onto Yujian Peak?”
Fang Zhou was taken aback, thinking that disciples from the three lineages of the Heavenly Sword Sect could visit each other freely. Was that not the case?
He could only explain to the disciple that he was here to find Yu Qing, and he also took out the jade token Yu Qing had given him.
The other party was skeptical but asked Fang Zhou to wait there while she went to report.
Before long, Yu Qing hurried over and, seeing Fang Zhou, exclaimed in surprise: “Taoist Fang, it really is you. What brings you here?”
Fang Zhou was also perplexed: “Why can’t I be here, didn’t you say you had something to ask me?”
It has only been a day; surely you haven’t forgotten?
You heartbreaker.
Yu Qing couldn’t help but laugh, surprised: “Of course you can come to see me, but you should… come through the main entrance!”
What, your mountain still has a main entrance?
After listening to Yu Qing’s explanation, Fang Zhou finally realized he had made a fool of himself.
Disciples from the three lineages of the Heavenly Sword Sect can indeed visit each other, but they must pass through the main entrance because there are many restricted areas within each lineage that one cannot enter without permission.
Fang Zhou’s act of randomly finding a place to land amounted to not using the main gate, sneaking around through the back door.
