"A pa.s.sing wind? Just treat like a pa.s.sing wind, you say?" Ku Ming could not help but laugh for the shamelessness of this sect master. Although he was aware that the other party was lying, how could he feign ignorance as if he clearly did not know anything? As a cultivator who was already at the Peak of Immortal Realm, how the h.e.l.l would this sect master not notice the sudden killing intent of one his high elders? Not to mention, all of the high elders were also at the Peak of the Immortal Realm.They were cultivators who have the same realm, so it"s not quite possible that he did not notice that killing intent. Furthermore, he was very close to the perpetrator. Even a fool with a bit of wit could a.n.a.lyze this properly.
Although the Revenant Sect Master knew that he was being shameless, what could the other party say? If he said he did not, then he did not. In this world, power weighs more than words. More to the fact that the sect master held a very high status. Against a junior like Ku Ming, what can he do? Even being the successor of the Ancient Ming Clan won"t shake his status. They were one of the powerhouses of the Sea Continent and very few would dare to flaunt their arrogance in front of them. Gathering these facts, what"s there to be afraid of?
"Young Master Ku should know that this sect master is already making a compromise, willing to take a step back. You can deduce it base with my actions, right? Although my high elders did offend you, they already paid a price as one of them being crippled horribly. Factly speaking, you have no say in this but considering the amiable relations.h.i.+p between your clan and my sect, I will speak no further and let this bygone." The sect master said with a face full of smile.
"Let this bygone?" Ku Ming laughed, "How magnanimous of you! If not for Young Master Jin being in my side all this time, would you even talk about it shamelessly like right now?"
The sect master furrowed his brows. He did not expect that this lad would not take a compromise and even further provoke them. What was this? Does he really think that having an Immortal Emperor by his side would guarantee his safety in regards to his continuous provocation against them?
The sect master was about to speak up when Ku Ming added, "And amiable relations.h.i.+p? To h.e.l.l with it! You"re really shameless. After not putting my clan in your eyes as if we are only fish on the chopping board, you dare to say that we have an amicable relations.h.i.+p with you?"
"It seems like you"re pus.h.i.+ng your luck too far, Young Master Ku." The sect master"s face darkened. He did not expect that this young master of the Ancient Ming Clan would be this stubborn and could not let go of grudges. Perhaps if he was in his shoes, he won"t also. However, he would still calculate the pros and cons of his actions and won"t drop all the pretence with the other party. But who would have thought that this young master would drop all decorum and continued provoking them?
The sect master was about to reprimand Ku Ming further when Jin Rou spoke.
"This is getting nowhere." Jin Rou sighed and spoke, "Revenant Sect Master, this issue will not end unless one of you compromised and give in. How about you become a good example of someone with status and just give what Ku Ming needs? With this, I doubt that Ku Ming will provoke you any further. Perhaps, we will leave immediately after we got the lotus."
Hearing these words, the sect master could not help but laugh a bit, "Your words are very unreasonable, Young Master Jin. Just like I said earlier, Young Master Ku did not have any treasure that could worth more than our Thousand-Life Lotus."

A glint flashed in his eyes and added, "We are not willing to take the short end. And even you are an Immortal Emperor, you cannot say a thing about this since the lotus is our treasure. We did not steal it or anything. We took care of it for many generations before it bloomed."
This is true. The lotus was theirs so they have the final say for it. After all, the lotus was a legendary treasure of this world and only the Revenant Heavenly Sect had this. Furthermore, they had this since the start of their sect and up to this date, they have protected the lotus well from those greedy old monsters in seclusion. Now that knowing they would receive less of the benefits in this deal from the Ancient Ming Clan, what"s the need to be the fools for? They did not fear the retaliation of just the Ancient Ming Clan. With two alive Immortal Emperors in their sect, they did not have anything to fear at all. Of course, this excluded those clans and sects with more Immortal Emperors than them.
"Are you not afraid of the wrath of my clan once our First Ming Ancestor became aware of this?" Ku Ming"s words were very provocative once again, "Perhaps we only have one Immortal Emperor up to this date, but by using your brain a bit, you must also be aware that our Immortal Emperor is one those First-Generation Immortal Emperors while the two in your sect are only Second-Generation Immortal Emperors. You should know the difference between the two generations, right?"
"Of course I do." The sect master laughed, his tone filled with disdain, "Although your First Ming Ancestor is an alive First-Generation Immortal Emperor, he is the last to be the one. So factly speaking, compared to those old fogeys who have ascended or currently hiding, your ancestor still lacks something. So what"s there to be afraid of? If your clan is to retaliate, we will be happy to accommodate you."
