Chapter 446: Stunned Gracious Sword Sect

A/n: Recommended: Read Ch146 to get a recap on Sect Leader Su's past that was revealed earlier.

...

Sect Leader of the Gracious Sword Sect was Su Ming.

Born as a commoner, he grew up to rule over his generation after a grace encounter with the previous Sect Leader.

But then, after some incidents, he had become the biggest enemy of the Fang Clan from the capital city.

One day while trying to meet his son, he had faced an ambush and had suffered from heavy injuries. 

This was not the first ambush he had faced; however, his master was not there to save him this time.

He would have died if not for the timely intervention of a passerby.

The fateful meeting with the passerby was a destiny-changing moment for him, and even today, Sect Leader Su would sigh every time he remembered that encounter.

After the passersby healed the young Su Ming, Su Ming was ready to offer his services to him.

No one knows if it was just a whim or that man saw something in Su Ming - but Su Ming soon found himself as a part of the most powerful army under the heavens - the Great Ye Corps.

Second to none, the minimum requirement to be a part of this well-known army was Half-Saint Realm.

Even the Half-Saint Realm cultivator was just a foot soldier in this army.

As for a newbie Nascent Soul cultivator like Su Ming?

He was just an errand boy for those bigshots.

However, he never felt demotivated or ostracized.

He very well understood the fact that in this world, the strong were right.

Thus, instead of getting depression, he was instead motivated.

Not to forget that he also had to take revenge against the Fang Clan in the Lower Heavens.

The Great Ye Corps opened a whole new world for him.

A world beyond the Middle Heavens.

He then understood that for all his life, he had just been a frog in a well.

But now, he wished to be a flamingo.

A flamingo who wanted to fly across the sky and see every corner of this world.

However, fate had other plans for him.

After a certain devastating event, Su Ming, now one of the core members of the Great Ye Corps, was forced to return to his home, the Gracious Sword Sect.

Within a few months of his arrival, he was crowned as the new Sect Leader and became a deafening force within the whole Xin Kingdom.

Because of an injury, his powers were suppressed back to the Peak of Nascent Soul Realm, forcing him to close his thoughts on exacting revenge against the Fang Clan.

Today was also one of those days.

King Xin and Prime Minister Fang's actions in the last few days were making Sect Leader Su, and he was trying hard to calm his urge of going to the Capital and one-shotting everyone to oblivion.

'Damn those bastards! First, they take my wife and son, and now they want to take my sect!? I will kill those fuckers with my bare hands…'

He was seething in rage as he stared at the piece of paper in front of him.

It was the latest information he had just bought from one of the up and coming information selling organizations called Nightcrawler Surveillance Network.

[A/n: Important organization.]

In Front of him were the details of possible events that might happen in the next few weeks.

If Ye Tian Yun were to read this paper, he would be surprised to see the similarities in the things here and the words said by Gao Xuan at the restaurant a few days ago.

'I need to call an urgent meeting.'

Just as Sect Leader Su had decided upon the first step, an aura spread across the Gracious Sword Sect, thoroughly suppressing the disciples, elders, and even the Sect Leader.

"This…"

Sect Leader Su's expression changed from frown to anger and finally to shock.

This was a familiar aura!

'He's here…'

He would never forget this aura. It was the exact same man who had once saved his life.

"General Liu…"

A valiant and powerful figure appeared in his mind.

The figure of a person who had once shocked the whole Upper Heavens, and his mere mention would make the enemy powers tremble in fear.

He was the Lightning Monarch Liu Lei!

[A/n: Lei means Thunder, Lightning.]

Without another thought, Sect Leader Su instantly disappeared from his spot and appeared a few miles above the Gracious Sword Sect.

He had already pinpointed the location of the source of that aura, and within an instant, he had zoomed in front of it.

"Haha you brat Su Ming! Did you forget your daddy!" A jovial voice spread throughout the Gracious Sword Sect, shocking the disciples once again who had just regained their composure.

Thousands of heads raised towards the sky to find out the preparator.

"Look there!"

"There! There!"

It didn't take long for the keen-eyed disciples and elders to point to the man in question.

Surprisingly he was not alone.

There was someone else.

And from the words he had just spoken, it was hard to judge whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

Even the two Grand Elders had come out and stared at the sky with a very serious expression.

'I can't even see through the cultivation of that person….'

Grand Elder Xuan Ren frowned.

He felt powerless in front of the middle-aged man in the sky. And there was a teenager beside that man.

'He seems to be in the… Foundation Establishment Realm!'

A fifteen-year-old Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!

What kind of concept was this!

Looking carefully, he noticed an emblem on the shoulders of the middle-aged man.

'Great Ye Clan!'

Grand Elder Xuan, who was very familiar with the powers of Middle Heavens, never missed that symbol.

'Then that means the boy beside that man is….'

'The legendary Crown Prince, Ye Tian Yun!'

'Why are they here? What are their connections with Su Ming?'

Grand Elder Xuan felt a sense of urgency inside him. He needed to find everything about this as soon as possible and inform the young miss!

However, Sect Leader Su was feeling the opposite.

Instead of feeling urgency, he was very relieved.

As soon as he appeared in front of the middle-aged man, Sect Leader Su immediately went for a hug and said, "Ah, Brother Liu… to think I would ever get a chance to meet you again!"
