Chapter 1984: Chapter 1984: Disciples’ Recent Situation, Pushing the Limit

"What, weren’t you just mocking me non-stop earlier? Now you’re pretending not to know me?"

Liang Feng glanced at Netherworld King, grinned, and looked at Jian Chaomian, pointing his thumb at Netherworld King, "See, too much mocking and now he’s hallucinating."

Jian Chaomian covered his face helplessly, "Brother Ye, why don’t you return to lead the sect, or at least give me a different partner. As you can see, Liang Feng isn’t quite right in the head."

Netherworld King chuckled; after all these years, the two of them hadn’t changed at all, which was nice.

"Alright, I know you both are frustrated. Over the years I’ve gained quite a bit from my adventures, I’ll guide you two in due time."

Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng’s eyes brightened instantly.

Both were Sword Dao prodigies back in the Wilderness Realm, and the chance to strengthen their Sword Dao was naturally exciting.

"I think we should do this," Liang Feng smiled, "Since you’re back this time, why not share some Sword Dao insights with the disciples? Most of them joined the Green Cloud Sword Sect because of you, but haven’t even seen your shadow all these years. It’s a bit unreasonable."

Netherworld King pondered.

Doing so would conveniently gather everyone from Green Cloud Sword Sect and check if any Immortal Realm moles were hidden among them.

Also, as Liang Feng mentioned, apart from the sect’s founding day and leaving the Mortal Realm, he had been adventuring outside, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Thinking this, Netherworld King nodded in agreement, "I have important matters on this trip, so I won’t stay long. Keep all arrangements simple."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chaomian nodded, raised his hand to the sky, and a phantom sword shot through the ceiling.

Following that, Jian Chaomian’s voice spread throughout the sect through that sword.

"Tomorrow at dawn, Sect Master Ye will give a lecture at Green Cloud Platform."

Just one simple sentence caused an uproar throughout Green Cloud Sword Sect!

"Is it Sect Master Ye?! Netherworld King Sect Master Ye?!"

"Yeah, who else could it be?"

"I joined Green Cloud Sword Sect just to see Sect Master Ye in person, and now I’ve finally waited long enough!"

"Back then, our Sect Master Ye was one of the heroes of the Mortal Realm, his skills were extraordinary. It’s been years now, wonder how much his Sword Dao has advanced."

"Hao Tian, you are Sect Master Ye’s disciple, right? You should know better than us what realm he is in, and what his demeanor is like?"

Hao Tian was the registered disciple Netherworld King accepted when the Green Cloud Sword Sect was founded.

Because of this, he was watched by countless disciples and elders at Green Cloud Sword Sect.

Hao Tian dared not slack off, even though he was just a registered disciple, he was training hard all day long.

"I don’t know."

The other personal disciples helplessly shook their heads, unable to persuade Hao Tian, a cultivation fanatic.

But Hao Tian’s cultivation ranked second among the disciples of Green Cloud Sword Sect.

And the first... was Netherworld King’s other disciple, Mu Shi.

Mu Shi already had a better talent physique under the tutelage of the village teacher, and after receiving personal guidance from Netherworld King within the Portrait Of Emptiness for years.

His Sword Dao attainment was way ahead of Hao Tian’s.

"But Mu Shi now seems to be exchanging duties between the sect and Hidden Dao Academy, can’t come back."

"What a pity."

...

On the other side, Netherworld King learned about the current situation of Green Cloud Sword Sect from Jian Chaomian and Liang Feng.

Speaking of Hao Tian and Mu Shi, Liang Feng sighed, "Mu Shi’s talent is very high, neither elders nor disciples can compare to him, and he is now our chief inner disciple."

Netherworld King nodded slightly.

After leaving the Portrait Of Emptiness, Mu Shi refined his Sword Dao for years within the Portrait Of Emptiness, and upon coming out, joined the Green Cloud Sword Sect.

It’s known that one year inside the Portrait Of Emptiness equals one day outside.

"But your registered disciple Hao Tian is also impressive, working hard to ensure he doesn’t fall too far behind Mu Shi, firmly holding second place."

Jian Chaomian agreed, "And they didn’t misuse your reputation. Honestly, I’d want to take them as my disciples."

Netherworld King felt a bit guilty.

He had taught Mu Shi well in the Portrait Of Emptiness for a few years, but for Hao Tian, he just gave some insights on cultivation techniques and Sword Dao.

"Alright, don’t point fingers. Once my matters are resolved, I’ll stay at the sect for a while," Netherworld King said helplessly.

Liang Feng waved his hand, glanced at Netherworld King, "Since that’s the case, you take charge of the sect. I’m going out adventuring, let you taste how difficult it is to manage a sect."

Netherworld King’s face darkened a bit but still smiled, "No problem, I’ll prepare some medicinal pills for you then."

Hearing this, Liang Feng’s eyes brightened, he continued, "Look at our excellently managed Sword Sect. Since you’ve got the goodwill, Little Ye, then later your Brother Liang will teach you a bit of sect management."

Netherworld King’s face darkened again, forcing a smile, "Thanks a lot, Brother... Liang?"

This made Liang Feng excited, releasing years of frustration in that moment, seizing the opportunity to say more, "Also..."

Netherworld King kept nodding, though his expression grew increasingly darker.

Jian Chaomian watching this, sweating heavily, coughed continuously, each time harder!

Liang Feng looked at Jian Chaomian, confused, "Why keep coughing, you, a cultivator, still bothered by mortal diseases? Or is there a hidden ailment that needs checking?"

Jian Chaomian’s eyes twitched, his mouth kept signaling toward Netherworld King.

Liang Feng finally realized and looked at Netherworld King, still cheekily saying, "Sect Master, I spoke my heartfelt words, you, being magnanimous, wouldn’t blame me, right?"

Netherworld King smiled with a darkened face, shaking his head, "How could I? Without Elder Liang’s reminder, I’d be unaware of these mistakes."

"Right," Liang Feng laughed loudly.

Netherworld King stood up, smiled, "Indeed, I’ve decided to reward Elder Liang handsomely."

Liang Feng’s eyes brightened immediately, excitedly asking, "What reward?! A peerless divine weapon, Sword Scripture, or some miraculous medicinal pill?!"

Netherworld King drew out a wooden sword and smiled, "Of course, it’s my understanding of Sword Dao, I’ll teach you well through a practical lesson."

Liang Feng’s smile froze.

No.

Something’s wrong.

Seems a bit dangerous.

Liang Feng awkwardly laughed, "Rea... really?" Then looking at Jian Chaomian beside him, pointed at Jian Chaomian, "Brother Jian has always wanted to spar with the sect master, why not go with him first?"

Jian Chaomian quickly shook his head, "I refuse gracefully."

This isn’t the right time for a spar... a spar may cost half a life.

In times like these, it’s better to stay away.

Thinking this, Jian Chaomian stood up and walked out, "With the sect master’s return, I must hurry to arrange tomorrow’s affairs, so I’ll be off."

He just slipped away.

Only Liang Feng was left staring blankly.

What? Brothers can only share blessings, not hardships?

Running so fast?

Liang Feng watched Netherworld King slowly approaching, sat down straight to the ground, kept backing away, reached out trying to stop Netherworld King, awkwardly laughed, "Well... um, I think another day, I actually don’t need Sword Dao understanding."

Netherworld King chuckled, holding the wooden sword tightly, "Really?"

Not long after.

Jian Chaomian heard shrieks coming from the hall...
