Ning Zhu had a heavy heart about the challenge. Ninth was clearly targeting the Six Kings this time. It would be a battle to the death.
She saw Ninthβs power with her own eyes. Though he lost utterly to Li Qiye and had to run, it didnβt mean that he was weak. In fact, she was worried about Pine Leaf Sword Lordβs life.
βGo back, itβs good to see him one last time.β Li Qiye gave her permission.
βOne last timeβ¦?β Her expression darkened right away. She wasnβt angry at his insensitive comment but rather, this seemed to be a death sentence for her master.
βYoung Noble, do you meanβ¦β She became slightly pale and had to ask for confirmation despite not wanting to hear the answer.
βPeople say that no one knows a father more than his son nor a master more than his disciple. Tell me, what do you think is your masterβs chance of winning against Ninth?β Li Qiye said flatly.
She pondered in silence. Far from being a fool, she was smart enough to have an objective analysis of the battle. She might not be the one who understand her master the most but was definitely the closest person to him. Thus, she knew how strong he was.
She naturally hoped that her master would win. Alas, Ninthβs sword dao was impressive so the outcome looked grim.
Ninthβs sword needed to taste blood before returning to its scabbard. Her master wouldnβt survive the battle.
βYoung Noble, please save my master.β She bowed towards Li Qiye.
Li Qiye had defeated Ninth before and could certainly do so again. Though she wasnβt a member of Wooden Sword any longer, she still remembered the kindness and support shown by her master. This was a debt she must pay.
Previously during the engagement with Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom, her master went against numerous elders and ancestors who supported the deal. Alas, he couldnβt change their mind.
Now, he was in trouble and she wanted to do everything possible to help him.
βDo you think itβs possible? Itβs not up to me.β Li Qiye smiled: βYou know what type of person he is more than me.β
Ning Zhu thought about it. Yes, her master would refuse Li Qiyeβs help. As the king of Wooden Sword, he was calm and flexible. However, he was actually a prideful person.
Otherwise, he wouldnβt have accepted the challenge so quickly. Others would have bought more time if they werenβt fully confident about winning.
Thus, he wouldnβt accept help from anyone and preferred to fight a fair duel, relying on his own power.
βEveryone has their own will. You cannot make decisions for him.β Li Qiye said.
She sighed after hearing this. Her unwanted involvement might actually be detrimental to his reputation.
βI understand.β She bowed after realizing her impropriety.
βGo back and see him one last time. I must go on a trip to Cloud Dream with Yiyun to see who is audacious enough to not pay me.β He smiled.
Ning Zhu only worried about her master right now. She bowed one more time towards Li Qiye and bid goodbye.

Cloud Dream was the largest lake in Sword Continent. While standing ashore, it would appear to be a boundless ocean.
Moreover, it was well-known for its raging current as well. A weak cultivator would certainly drown once fallen.
But its size and turbulence werenβt its defining characteristic. It was most famous for its robbers and bandits.
Whenever the name Cloud Dream was brought up, people would instantly think about this unsavory aspect.
It had numerous islands - the home of various bandit groups. Despite their insane population, all of them have pleaded loyalty to Cloud Dream King - the lord of Dark Gale. Of course, outsiders preferred to use another title for him - Bandit King.
In reality, Dark Gale had a history older than even Armament Mountain or Virtuous School. Some historians even believed that it just might be the oldest lineage in Sword Continent.
This bandit camp had committed numerous atrocious deeds including killing disciples from the behemoths. Strangely enough, it survived all the eras. No one had heard of an expedition against it either.
Even dao lords kept their distance from Dark Gale instead of destroying it.
After all, bandits were normally viewed as morally-depraved villains but most importantly, weak. Any organized force should be able to take them down. This just wasnβt the case here to everyoneβs astonishment.
Some attributed this to the camp having powerful experts such as its king and ancestors. Cloud Dream King was one of the Six Sect Masters so he was no slouch.
However, legend has it that there was a terrifying ancestor there with the title of Nightloom, capable of contending against the Five Overlords and should be as strong as Hallowed City Lord. All in all, he was one of the strongest cultivators in Sword Continent, a reason for Dark Galeβs resiliency.
Some disagreed with this notion because Dark Gale has been around for a long time before this ancestor. There should be other reasons for its success.
Unfortunately, the world couldnβt come up with any concrete support. The dao lords who knew the actual reasons never told the world either. fre enovelkiss.com
The place eventually became a haven for criminals and those with secrets to hide. Many with powerful enemies also chose it as their new home.
