Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate Chapter 79 – Peace Talks

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Suddenly, a group of immortal cultivators walked towards Lin An, and his heart instantly raced.

Looking at their uniforms, Lin An could tell that they were from the Water Mirror Sect. However, the only reason why he was nervous was that he didn’t want them to recognize him.

Otherwise, he was confident that he could easily beat up the few Water Mirror Sect disciples.

Fortunately, the group of disciples obliviously walked towards Lin An as they chatted and laughed loudly. Each of them was carrying a sharp sword on their back, and they looked as if they had just had a meal.

However, when they brushed past Lin An, they suddenly looked at him in surprise.

Since Lin An had been nervous, he had unconsciously released his aura, and the disciples had sensed it.

Lin An’s expression didn’t change as he steadily walked forward.

However, he didn’t walk too far before he heard the discussions among the disciples.

“What a strong aura!”

“That cultivator is so young. How could his cultivation be so high?”

“When he walked past us, I felt like I was facing a ferocious beast. I couldn’t even breathe!”

As the Water Mirror Sect disciples walked away, Lin An couldn’t hear the rest of the conversation.

“Hey, have you heard?”

Suddenly, another group of immortal cultivators walked past Lin An, and he overheard their conversation.

“What?”

“Some Water Mirror Sect disciples went out of the city today and said that they wanted to take revenge for their fellow sect members. In the end, when the sun went down, not a single person returned. I’m afraid that they’re doomed.”

“How could I not know about this? I have a friend from the Water Mirror Sect. They were discussing this matter at the elders’ meeting today.”

“And I also heard that they found out the attacker’s sect. It seems that he’s the personal disciple to an incredible senior elder.”

Lin An couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he heard their words. The Water Mirror Sect’s efficiency wasn’t bad. They had even found out the identity of his master.

In an instant, Lin An’s interest was immediately piqued. He squatted in a corner and eavesdropped on the passerby’s conversation.

“I heard that the attacker’s master is a big shot in the Jiuxiao Sect. She’s a character that no one dares to provoke in the northern border of the Ghana Empire. Even their sect master is very afraid of her.”

“Are you serious? What background does that big shot have?”

“I heard that she is the peak master of a certain peak in the Jiuxiao Sect. Her name is Qian Yi.”

“That’s right. The elders in my family have all heard of her. When they found out that they had provoked her this time, they claimed that even the emperor of the Ghana Empire has to respect her. How powerful do you think that Qian Yi is?”

“It can’t be! Could it be that the Water Mirror Sect offended such a character? I think there’s going to be a problem.”

…

At the same time, the elders’ hall of the Water Mirror Sect was fully packed. Other than the few cultivators who had already been killed by Lin An, the other elders were all present, and the sect master sat on the most honorable seat.

They were all animatedly discussing Lin An and his master, Qian Yi.

“This is serious. I’m sure everyone has heard of Qian Yi, the Bixiao Peak master. If we kill her beloved disciple, she will definitely fight us to the death. The consequences will be unimaginable.”

“Coward! That brat has killed many of our disciples, and almost all of our enforcement forces have been wiped out. If we can’t come up with an explanation for this, how will our Water Mirror Sect survive in the southern border of the Ghana Empire?”

“That’s right! Our enforcement forces have suffered heavy casualties as well. We definitely can’t let it go just like that!”

“That kid is so ruthless. How can we let him escape without consequences? If our dead brothers know about this in the afterlife, will they have any peace?”

“Sect Master, please stand up for us!”

“Sect Master, please stand up for us!”

Instantly, all the members of the Water Mirror Sect turned their gazes towards the sect master who was silently sitting on his chair. Several elders took the lead to bow and pleaded with him to stand up for them.

The sect master was a middle-aged man with stars in his eyes and heavy brows. He wore a very plain white Chinese tunic suit, but as he sat in his chair, he gave off an imposing aura as well as a very strong sense of presence.

The sect master’s name was Gu Wenfei.

Gu Wenfei’s cultivation level was at the infant transformation stage, and he had already surpassed the nascent soul stage.

The Water Mirror Sect’s master was unrivaled in the entire southern region of the Ghana Empire.

He was only slightly weaker than the sect master of the Fire Element Sect, the largest sect in the region.

The fact that the Water Mirror Sect had been able to dominate the entire southern region of the Ghana Empire had a lot to do with Gu Wenfei’s strength.

He calmly looked at the spots on the table in front of him with a serious expression and felt that the matter about Lin An was very troublesome.

He had only met Qian Yi once when he was young. Apart from her stunning beauty, her strength had left a deeper impression on Gu Wenfei.

Qian Yi’s power was still fresh in his memory. Even after so many years, he still did not think that he could block her palm strike.

After meditating about Lin An’s situation for some time, Gu Wenfei looked at the expectant gazes of his disciples and said in a deep voice, “This matter cannot be treated carelessly. I know that everyone here is aware of Qian Yi’s power. Now that her disciple has come to our territory, I think it is not appropriate for us to make things too difficult for him. However, so many of our disciples have died at his hands. It won’t make sense if we don’t do anything.

How about this? We’ll invite him to the sect to have a talk. If we can talk things out, the conflict will be resolved.”

‘Talk things out and resolve the conflict!’

Everyone fell into a daze. Gu Wenfei had been known for his ruthlessness ever since he had entered the Water Mirror Sect. When had he ever been reasonable?

Nevertheless, he had just volunteered to have a peaceful talk with a junior disciple. Was Lin An’s master really that strong?

However, since Gu Wenfei had already made the pronouncement, no one dared to oppose him. They all stood up slowly and took their leave.

…

After he had gathered enough information in the small town, Lin An climbed over the mountains and returned to Zuo Nanshuang’s village.

Just as he reached the entrance to the mountain village, Lin An saw two sword lights flying toward him.

There were two sword cultivators standing on the flying swords, and judging from their clothing, they were from the Water Mirror Sect.

‘Are they looking for trouble again?’

Lin An quickly prepared himself for a fight.

However, he didn’t expect the two cultivators to harmlessly land in front of him.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, our sect master invites you to the Water Mirror Sect for a chat.”

Lin An was surprised after he heard the words.

‘The sect master of the Water Mirror Sect?’ Lin An wondered. He did know why the leader of his archrival sect would want to have a chat with him.

Seeing that Lin An had no reaction, the two cultivators hurriedly added, “Fellow Daoist Lin, don’t misunderstand us. Our sect master has no ill intentions. He just wants to invite you for a chat so that we can clear up the misunderstanding between us.”

‘Clear up the misunderstanding?’ Lin An couldn’t help but be perplexed. He had already killed so many Water Mirror Sect cultivators.

However, he quickly recalled the conversations he had overheard in the small town and immediately understood.

The Water Mirror Sect cultivators were probably scared, but Lin An hadn’t expected that Qian Yi’s reputation would be so great that they would take the initiative to back down just because he was her personal disciple.
