Chapter 44: He Suddenly Awoke to the Heaven-Reaching Banner

Pa!

The words fell, the youth slapped the table and stood up, his eyes cold as he said: "Why say that?"

He's quite fiery, I don't know which immortal who worships Tongtian this is.

Chen Nuo smiled slightly, not at all intimidated by the youth, and said lightly: "Because of his own words."

"What words?"

"Moved by the suffering of all beings, he established the Jie Sect, wishing to seize a thread of life for the beings of Honghuang, teaching without discrimination!"

"Such fine words, a pity, he's just a coward."

The youth's face full of displeasure: "Nonsense, you just said Tongtian broke through Honghuang for his disciples, how did he become a coward?"

Chen Nuo glanced at him coldly, this person really is something, ignoring the bad words of the other Holy Persons, insist on meddling with Tongtian, this is a die-hard fan.

"Nonsense?" Chen Nuo snorted coldly, instantly stood up, likewise staring at the youth.

"Seizing a thread of life for Honghuang's beings, heh, fine words, but not because he's afraid!"

The youth even more unyielding said: "That's because Tongtian lost, he already did his best!"

He also didn't want to let go and fight desperately for a thread of life?

The youth's face, covered by messy hair and dirt, showed pain.

But, not allowed, above the Holy Persons, there's still the Dao Ancestor!

"Did Tongtian die? Did the Jie Sect perish completely? Did all the deceased Jie Sect followers have their souls and spirits scattered?"

Chen Nuo laughed: "No? How many of those listed on the Investiture of the Gods still consider themselves Jie Sect, how many proudly identify as Jie Sect, they're all waiting for the day the Jie Sect rises again to renewed glory!"

"But what about their sect leader Shangqing Tongtian? He's long ceased worldly affairs, peacefully accepting the fact of defeat!"

Chen Nuo spread his hands, contemptuous yet somewhat helplessly said: "Ignoring the remaining life of the Jie Sect, letting all Jie Sect followers live humbly!"

He gave a light snort, contemptuously saying: "If it were me, such a thread of life, I'd rather not have it!"

The voice not loud, yet like thunder ringing in the ears, making the youth's whole body shudder.

The youth with muddy eyes, hollow gaze, muttering: "Yeah, such a thread of life, what's the use of having it?"

Chen Nuo silently sat down, drinking while watching the youth daze, finally, the youth seemed to recall something, eagerly reaching to grab Chen Nuo's arm.

Chen Nuo frowned, then flashed aside to dodge.

But the youth didn't care: "Boss, do those Jie Sect people still await the sect's return to this day?"

Chen Nuo casually spouted nonsense: "Eh, day and night longing!"

They're immortals now, how would he know, since they asked, I couldn't disappoint them, so I could only say this.

"Haha!"

Chen Nuo's words just fell, the youth suddenly burst into loud laughter, the laughter sorrowful yet mixed with a hint of vitality and joy.

Head raised, eyes red, tears fell, mixing with the grime on his face, streaming down.

Yeah, those disciples who should have given up didn't abandon the Jie Sect's glory, how could this sect leader who swore an oath have the face to let go?

Just relying on his so-called "did his best"?

Is he worthy?

The withering aura of one at death's door gradually dissipated, a sharpness emerged, the murkiness in his eyes vanished, what Tongtian wanted was absolutely not such a thread of life!

Immediately turning his head to look at Chen Nuo beside him, who looked like a fool.

Somewhat embarrassed, but more gratitude in his heart, Tongtian, disregarding his Holy Person status, bowed and said: "Today hearing your words..."

Before Tongtian could finish, Chen Nuo instinctively said: "Better than you reading ten years of books?"

Tongtian froze for a moment, still quite pressed for luck, then laughed: "Haha, right! More than ten years!"

He picked up his own wine pot and said to Chen Nuo: "Come,

Bottoms up!"

Chen Nuo was somewhat surprised, as for this happy? Could it be I got him excited?

But Chen Nuo also didn't hold back, single-handedly lifted his wine jug and was about to leave.

Tongtian's face full of black lines, good partner, this ratio difference is too great, suddenly feeling his earlier bold action was a bit unpleasant.

"Boss, give me one of your wine jugs too." Tongtian pointed at Chen Nuo's wine jug.

Chen Nuo smiled lightly: "But it's ten times the price."

"No problem!" Tongtian waved his hand grandly, aura overflowing.

The price of a meal is only one Taiyi Golden Immortal-level treasure, just now he casually took one item worth twenty meals' price, such spiritual treasures he has piles of.

"Bring another jar of wine! A large jar!" Chen Nuo shouted.

The peach juice drink he made uses ingredients far exceeding peach blossom brew, unsuitable for large-scale production, hence the one-per-person limit.

While peach blossom brew can be mass-produced, and the longer stored, the more mellow and fragrant.

Alcohol has always been the key to livening up meals, so Chen Nuo decided on unlimited alcohol supply, sell to those who pay.

The Ox Demon King agreed with a sound, then immediately brought out another jug.

"Come, bottoms up!" Having the same size, Tongtian this time satisfied, directly grabbed with one hand and began guzzling.

Peach blossom brew not only goes down the throat, but mostly flows down the chin, wetting the clothes.

Chen Nuo pouted, also not yielding, picked up the wine jug, then carefully poured himself a cup, good partner, he spilled more than he drank, truly bold!

A large jar of wine, Tongtian drank it all in one go, though not strong liquor, but refreshing!

"Now I feel this is a good wine." He smashed the empty jug on the ground, Tongtian laughed loudly.

"Why?"

"Because of the taste, and more because of the meaning." Tongtian said mysteriously.

This peach blossom not only symbolizes longevity, but also signifies grand ambitions, though Chen Nuo's attention is not on this.

Lowering his head slightly, Chen Nuo said lightly: "The wine jug is broken, fine is one meal's worth of money."

The disheveled Tongtian's face froze instantly; this shopkeeper's heart is truly black.

Just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly stopped speaking.

Eyes tightly closed, embracing the primordial spirit.

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, has he awakened?

It seems this peach blossom brew is aftereffect strength.

At this moment, Tongtian felt his whole body as if his soul had left him, shocking him greatly; even with his Holy Person's realm, he could not resist this feeling.

In a daze, Tongtian seemed to see a figure suspended between heaven and earth, unrestrained and carefree, aura like a sharp sword, its edge unimaginable even to him.

The face shrouded in thin mist, making Tongtian unable to see clearly, yet upon closer look, the boundless Dao Rhyme surrounding him made even him struggle to comprehend, profoundly mysterious.

It seemed that gazing for a few seconds would burst his sea of consciousness—who exactly is this?

Tongtian trembled with shock—when in the Three Realms and Wilderness has such an unparalleled figure ever appeared!

Even his Master would give him no more than this feeling, perhaps.

As Tongtian was sighing, that figure moved—just lightly raising the long sword in hand.

Following, heaven and earth trembled.

Flash!

Sword lights burst forth in all directions, shooting toward heaven and earth; Tongtian focused his gaze, pupils contracted—indeed, they were swords, all swords!

All swords in heaven and earth gathered here, whether immortal swords or mortal swords, countless in number, all swords suspended upon the sword held aloft by that figure's hand.

"What is this, what is he doing?" Tongtian thought in his heart.

The next moment, a voice resonant with Dao Rhyme, echoing through heaven and earth, sounded.
