CHAPTER 432: 430. ELDER TIAN CHEN’S LETTER (FIRST UPDATE)

Suddenly, H Lan’s voice came to my ears.

Cang Lan from the Sea of Clouds was taken aback for a moment and turned around to ask, "Brother H Lan, what did you say?"

"The things you need to do can be postponed, no need to rush." H Lan turned his head and tucked the letter into his robe, but he was quite blunt about the contents of the letter, "My junior sister wrote that our master’s hand ailment has temporarily recovered with the help of Sect Leader Wen. In a few days, she will go to East Lake where Sect Leader Wen is located to heal. She certainly won’t leave East Lake until her ailment is completely cured."

"Then Master Zi Ran can..."

The Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan can start creating the Vortex Map again, which is certainly a great piece of news.

Though this joyful matter has nothing to do with him.

H Lan continued, "Since Sect Leader Wen has a way to heal our master’s ailment, our master will definitely ensure Sect Leader Wen avoids any trouble. In other words, as long as our master is around, nothing will happen to Sect Leader Wen... However, as a disciple, I can’t just wait for my master to handle this on his own... Brother Cang Lan, draft a letter for me and send it to Iron Mountain Pavilion."

"Send it to Iron Mountain Pavilion?"

Cang Lan from the Sea of Clouds was taken aback.

He couldn’t understand why they were sending a letter to Iron Mountain Pavilion at this time.

In recent days, their people came looking for H Lan, but he didn’t exchange a single word with them.

To Cang Lan’s confusion, H Lan just casually replied.

He did not provide much explanation.

"If this campaign doesn’t involve the Four-star Influence, then it’s not that terrifying."

...

The Market at Iron Mountain Pavilion.

"How many more days will Tianchen take?"

Tie Muhe walked to the window on the top floor of the trading house, looked outside and simultaneously asked Elder Jin behind him.

In these few days, Iron Mountain Pavilion had prepared adequately.

Leaving behind one Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm elder to guard the house, and with some people heading to the White Crystal Ore, everyone else who reached Upper Profound Realm joined the alliance army with their four Mountain Suppression Realm experts. With such formidable power, even if the Immortal Sect is backed by the Demon Race, even a few Mountain Suppression Realm Demon Kings, they, together with the Hundred Sects Alliance, can challenge them.

Moreover, they simply do not have the strength to kill a Mountain Suppression Realm expert.

Otherwise, destroying their territory would have been just as simple.

Ask what else could be more imposing than killing a Mountain Suppression Realm expert?

There is none!

Now, they are merely waiting for Tianchen.

Upon hearing Tie Muhe’s inquiry as he entered the room, Elder Jin hurriedly responded, "No news for now; we just know he left Bo City three days ago. Presumably, the letter from Elder Tianchen should arrive within the next two days."

"That should be a matter of five or six days then."

Just as he finished speaking, a knock was heard from outside the door.

Knock knock!

Tie Muhe hadn’t had the chance to ask Elder Jin to go and take a look when Elder Kong’s voice came from outside the door, "Sect Leader, Master H Lan has sent a letter."

"A letter at this time?"

Tie Muhe and Elder Jin exchanged a glance, neither understanding what H Lan meant by this.

"Come in."

Upon Tie Muhe’s command, Elder Kong walked in with the letter and handed it over.

Under their joint gaze, Tie Muhe opened the letter.

"Master H Lan hasn’t spoken to us these days regardless of what we asked, yet he’s sending a letter now, something’s fishy."

"There must be something."

The two of them whispered quietly to each other.

Then they witnessed Tie Muhe’s expression gradually freeze, and finally, he suddenly tore the letter into pieces and tossed them into the air.

"Sect Leader, what is it?"

"Sect Leader, what’s happened?"

The two were at a loss.

Tie Muhe turned around, slammed his fists onto the wooden table beside him, and said in a voice suppressed with anger, "That guy H Lan advises me not to trouble Sect Leader Wen, as Master Zi Ran is with them."

"Master Zi Ran is protecting the Immortal Sect!"

"Why would Master Zi Ran get involved in this matter?"

Elder Kong and his companion exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing in response, their eyes revealing a trace of conflict.

Master Zi Ran, after all, is one of the few Three-Vortex Vortex Divine Artisans in Heaven and Earth Lake, holding a remarkable status!

Though they didn’t know why Master Zi Ran wanted to protect the Immortal Sect, they knew this matter had become more complicated.

"Sect Leader, what should we do? Now that Master Zi Ran is protecting the Immortal Sect, how can we seek revenge?"

"Master Zi Ran, we..."

Elder Kong’s words were immediately interrupted.

Tie Muhe gritted his teeth and took over, "No matter what, if we provoke Master Zi Ran, at worst, Iron Mountain Pavilion will just become an outcast. The grudge from having our territory leveled... must be avenged!"

He had envisioned the situation Iron Mountain Pavilion would find itself in after seeking revenge.

With just one word from Zi Ran, who in Xuanse Lake would still be willing to entertain them?

Some influences might even seize the opportunity to strike them while they’re down.

Others might target Iron Mountain Pavilion simply to have Zi Ran create a Three-Vortex Vortex Map for them.

Yet despite this, he had to act!

The shame upon the Sect ties to whether they can hold their heads high in the future.

"Elder Kong, what do you think?"

"Whatever the Sect Leader says!"

Elder Kong and his companion nodded in agreement with Tie Muhe’s decision.

Tie Muhe continued, "What about the messenger?"

"He shouldn’t have gone far. Should we..."

"No need, since he’s left, let him be; personally convey Iron Mountain Pavilion’s stance. Say that one day I will come in person with a formal apology!"

"Understood!"

With that, Elder Kong turned to leave.

Yet just as he turned, and Tie Muhe sighed, knocking was heard once more outside the door.

This time, the person knocking was the messenger from the Hundred Sects Alliance.

"Sect Leader Tie, Elder Tianchen has sent a letter!"

"Go get it now!"

Following Tie Muhe’s words, Elder Kong hurriedly opened the door to receive the letter.

"The man has yet to arrive, and the letter has come first. It seems urgent."

After handing the letter to Tie Muhe, Elder Kong couldn’t help but whisper a couple of comments at the side.

Elder Jin chimed in, "Could it be he’s advising us to go first while he casually heads to East Lake himself?"

"Stop guessing randomly."

Saying that, Tie Muhe crushed a Golden Bucket, drawing the letter from within.

He unfolded it.

And focused his gaze upon it.

Tie Muhe’s expression took on a different look once more.

Pain mixed with a tinge of helplessness, his hand holding the letter even started to tremble.

A Mountain Suppression Realm expert, having his hand shake over a letter, would be laughable if spread.

Seeing the situation, Elder Kong quickly took the letter, with Elder Jin glancing alongside.

Yet before they could read the first word, they saw Tie Muhe slump helplessly onto a chair, "Withdraw... go tell Yan Zheng, we are withdrawing..."

Upon hearing this unexpected decision, Elder Kong quickly focused on the letter.

From Elder Tianchen’s initial pleasantries to the final word-etched sentences, even Elder Kong stood frozen in place.

"How did it come to this!"

Elder Jin staggered back a few steps in bewilderment.

The letter slipped from Elder Kong’s hand at that moment too.

Sunlight fell upon the letter, shining right on the final words: Matters concerning the Immortal Sect cannot be meddled in by Heaven and Earth Lake forces. If we act, the catastrophe of extermination looms before us! Destroy after reading, do not let more people know.
