The Daoist exclaimed, “As expected of the Hidden Officer of the Great Wall of Sword Qi!”

Han Yushu finally dispelled the Mount Tai.

Beneath the fallen mountain, a dust-covered “Chen Ping’an” sat up, laughing heartily, and his figure flickered.

Chen Ping’an, suspended in the air by the wind, was about to perform a spatial displacement technique, attempting to meet that person halfway.

Mount Tai reappeared out of thin air, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar.

Chen Ping’an halted his steps, sighing, “Alright, alright, I won’t tease Daoist Han any further.”

He snapped his fingers, and a natal flying sword, carrying slight ripples, returned to its natal acupoint.

Han Yushu’s eyes shone brightly, exclaiming, “A grand destiny, a supreme fortune! No wonder you were able to serve as the Hidden Officer of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. You have indeed nurtured two natal flying swords, each with its own mystical power. The previous one could transform into millions of swords, while the current one can silently create a miniature world. With the accumulated power of both swords, you are truly invincible within your realm… There might be a slight chance, though. Interestingly enough, Liu Cai, the sword cultivator who is also one of the Ten Young Ones, his two natal flying swords, ‘Heart’s Desire’ and ‘Immediate Action,’ seem to be perfect counters to the Hidden Officer’s two swords? No matter, as long as the Hidden Officer is willing to sincerely join our ranks, we can resolve this deadly impasse today. Such a precarious situation can definitely be resolved.”

“To reason is no problem, to negotiate is always the first choice, has always been my principle in the world.”

Chen Ping’an nodded, ascending step by step towards the heights, glancing at the ancient deity in the form of a woman, retracting his gaze, and smiling, “No wonder Daoist Han would act so rashly. It turns out you were aiming for a big win. By winning me over, you would not only make peace with the Fallen Mountain but also gain at least half of the sentimental ties that the Great Wall of Sword Qi holds in the Great Harmony World.”

Han Yushu clasped his hands behind his back, clutching two stacked scrolls. The immortal of the Myriad Jade Sect’s eyes were filled with undisguised admiration, “Chen Ping’an, you are such an enigma. After becoming the Hidden Officer of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the Upside-Down Mountain and the Intercontinental Ferry were filled with countless diversions and red herrings, making it impossible to grasp. Even we spent considerable effort, only cautiously gathering intelligence from all sides. Only in recent years have we finally confirmed your true identity. No wonder some say that Chen Ping’an of Fallen Mountain surviving in the Emerald Pearl Grotto isn’t frightening, becoming the Hidden Officer of the Great Wall of Sword Qi isn’t frightening, and even becoming one of the Ten Young Ones isn’t frightening. The only truly frightening thing is how Chen Ping’an of Fallen Mountain in the Treasure Bottle Continent could step by step become Chen Ping’an of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Luck? Opportunity? Fate? Intellect? Temperament? It seems that everything combined, and everything without fault, is what made you who you are today. Chen Ping’an, do you really think I didn’t know you advanced to the Boundary Realm from the Summit Realm? I was just pretending not to know. The Hidden Officer ranked eleventh on the list is clearly a ninth-realm martial artist. The reason I’m being so patient with you is that I sincerely hope that from today onwards, I can call you Daoist Chen, and you can call me Daoist Han, both from the bottom of our hearts. We would be true fellow travelers. You can rest assured that with your intelligence and status, it won’t be too long before I need to sincerely call you Senior Chen, or Great Sword Immortal Chen.”

Chen Ping’an asked doubtfully, “Hasn’t Daoist Han considered the possibility of failing to negotiate, or the possibility of me escaping again? Shouldn’t you know that my being able to return to the Great Harmony World alive is already a possibility? In the eyes of you outsiders, my life is all about avoiding possibilities and simultaneously becoming certain possibilities?”

Han Yushu smiled, “This one has his own methods for entertaining the Hidden Officer. There will be no loopholes. It’s just spending money to avoid disaster, to guard against the unforeseen. Could it be that the Hidden Officer, who has risen to such a high position at such a young age, thinks that only he can deal with those ‘possibilities’?”

Chen Ping’an chuckled, but digressed, “The last time I returned home from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, I had a friend who spoke drunkenly after drinking. However, my two good friends at the time were poor drinkers. One said he probably wouldn’t remember what he said, and the other was snoring on the table, so they didn’t hear it. My friend said at the time that the Great Wall of Sword Qi was a place of clear grievances, a land for settling scores, definitely not a place for harboring filth.”

Han Yushu sneered, “Is the Hidden Officer implying that there’s nothing to discuss?”

Chen Ping’an nodded, “Daoist Han is spouting nonsense. Fortunately, we’re far apart, or I would have been splattered.”

Han Yushu sighed, “Then don’t blame me for taking drastic measures. It’s just a pity about the ancestral heritage of the Myriad Jade Sect.”

If that’s the case, he has no choice but to find other ways to establish himself and a sect.
