My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2077: Chapter 2073: Here to Reason?

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner until one day, someone came to challenge.

One morning, under the scorching sun, seven or eight uninvited guests dressed in white, exuding extraordinary bearing, stood confronting the members of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect on the square before Riyang Peak’s hall, with a black giant sword planted between them.

"What do you want?"

Yun Potian, also dressed in white, stood at the forefront of the crowd, arms crossed, coldly gazing at the people before him.

"This must be the esteemed Yun Potian, yes?"

A middle-aged man with snow-white beard yet long black hair stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Yun Potian.

"Who are you?"

Yun Potian looked at the newcomer in confusion.

"I am Mou Sansheng, the Sect Leader of the Three-Life Sect."

Mou Sansheng maintained a very respectful attitude.

"So it’s someone from the Three-Life Sect. I thought you looked familiar. Are you here seeking vengeance?"

Yun Potian had a revelation, remembering the many members of the Three-Life Sect he and Tang Cha had taken down previously.

"Just seeking justice."

Mou Sansheng smiled faintly, "The Medical Immortal Workshop was originally a subsidiary sect of ours, but it was annihilated by the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect. The Three-Life Sect planned to come and discuss it with you, yet our members were killed without reason. This hardly aligns with the Jianghu code of ethics."

"Oh, so you’re here to talk reason!"

Yun Potian was slightly surprised, stroking his beard, he looked at Hua Yingjie, "Kid, tell them why you annihilated the Medical Immortal Workshop back then."

"Humph! It was the Medical Immortal Workshop that initially sent people to massacre the entire Heavenly Medicine Sect!"

Hua Yingjie gritted his teeth and shouted, "They slaughtered the defenseless elderly, women, and children of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, their actions were heinous. We were merely avenging our faction, at least we didn’t trouble the innocents of the Medical Immortal Workshop."

Mou Sansheng glanced at Hua Yingjie, "Martial Arts struggles honor the strong, it’s inherently a rule of survival of the fittest. The grudges between Heavenly Medicine Sect and Medical Immortal Workshop, I have no words to say, but when the Great Elder and ten other experts of the Three-Life Sect came to discuss, they were brutally slain, and I do have a connection."

"Mou Sansheng, as you said, Martial Arts struggles honor the strong. Your Great Elder came looking for trouble with the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, he should have been prepared for the possibility of death."

Yun Potian sneered disdainfully, "I killed them, what are you going to do about it?"

"The senior is right, people were slain by you, but ultimately, it’s an enmity between the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect and the Three-Life Sect. This time I’ve come merely to seek an explanation."

Mou Sansheng looked at Yun Potian, neither arrogant nor submissive, "In terms of strength, Senior Yun alone could annihilate the Three-Life Sect, but thus falling into a reputation for bullying the weak, using power to oppress the small, plus we have no daring to offend the senior."

"Then what are you here for? To chitchat?"

Yun Potian looked displeasingly at Mou Sansheng.

"Hehe, I want to challenge Sect Master Tang Ming of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect."

Mou Sansheng pulled out a red war declaration, tossing it to Yun Potian, "This is a duel between sect leaders, no one is allowed to interfere. Even if Senior Yun is Tang Ming’s master, you cannot violate this Martial Arts rule, right?"

"You’re a smart kid."

Yun Potian glanced at the challenge letter, it’s a direct challenge from the Sect Leader of the Three-Life Sect to the sect leader of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, other people indeed cannot intervene!

Especially Tang Ming’s masters and elders, they certainly cannot take action, or even if they win, it would become a joke within the Martial Arts world.

It’s just like opening a Martial Arts hall; the old Hall Master has clearly retired and lives behind the scenes, the new Hall Master needs to establish authority, so when faced with a challenge, he can only fight personally, it’s impossible to ask the elder to stand up for him, one, it’s embarrassing, and two, it makes people feel the new Hall Master is incompetent.

Generally, when faced with such a situation, the new Hall Master will fight desperately; if victorious, everyone is happy. Once defeated, the elders would step in to regain victory, but this new Hall Master would be crippled, henceforth bearing the label of impotence. A Hall Master who relies on elders for protection, what capability could he have?

"Senior jokes, I’m just seeking an explanation, and by the way, learning from the skills of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect."

Mou Sansheng smiled calmly, looking at Yun Potian steadfastly, "This battle, if I lose, the Three-Life Sect will hide from Jianghu and never reemerge in Tang Ming’s lifetime. But if Tang Ming loses, the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect must give an account for the killing of our Great Elder and numerous masters."

"Humph! If Tang Ming loses, does he have any other path besides death?"

Yun Potian snorted coldly in displeasure.

If it were a long-established sect, in face of a hostile force’s challenge, the leader could lose, yet they could still appoint a new leader. But the problem is, the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect was single-handedly founded by Tang Ming. If he were defeated this time, no one could replace him, and Tang Ming couldn’t face founding a sect and become established. The Heavenly Martial Poison Sect would have to disband.

Simply put, this is a battle for Sect Master’s establishment and prestige by the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect.

If Tang Ming wins, then the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect firmly secures its place in Martial Arts. But once defeated, this sect, even if it could persist, must inevitably become a laughingstock of the Martial Arts world.

"Kid, you played this open scheme well, I have no way to refuse."

Yun Potian glanced at Mou Sansheng and tossed the challenge letter to Sun Zhuangjia, "Go inform your Sect Leader junior, someone has come to challenge, let him get ready to fight."

"Yes!"

Sun Zhuangjia nodded, quickly withdrew.

"Thank you for your accomplishment, senior."

Mou Sansheng cupped his hands in salute, then retreated to the side, waiting for Tang Ming’s arrival.

The killing of Three-Life Sect’s Great Elder and tens of Martial General experts was a huge humiliation and loss for them, constantly pondering how to revenge against the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect.

A long time ago, Mou Sansheng had prepared to launch an attack against the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, but at that time, it was sealed off by the Dragon Group, forcing his plan to temporarily stop. Later, it was heard that Yun Potian and Tang Haicang were Tang Ming’s masters and were overseeing the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, which frightened him quite a bit.

Fortunately, it had been the Dragon Group’s blockade delaying the action, otherwise truly bringing the members of the Three-Life Sect recklessly to attack the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, would have led to overall sect confrontation, Yun Potian and Tang Haicang’s strength enough to leave not a piece of armor from the Three-Life Sect remaining.

Afterwards, Mou Sansheng almost gave up on the idea of seeking revenge against the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect. The Three-Life Sect is not a top hidden force, and even if it were a top Martial Arts power, it probably wouldn’t dare to provoke both Yun Potian and Tang Haicang simultaneously. However, later he received guidance from wise people, suggesting he challenge Tang Ming using his identity as Sect Leader of the Three-Life Sect.

Even though Yun Potian and Tang Haicang are powerful, Tang Ming, as their disciple, is indeed quite young, and his strength is just at the Two-star Martial General cultivation level. A solo fight wouldn’t be difficult, and by challenging as a Sect Leader, Tang Ming cannot refuse; others cannot intervene, making it a perfect way for revenge.
