Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Young Eagle

Inside the Divine Sword Hall.

Many Peak Masters and Elders with Real Authority had solemn expressions on their faces.

Not long ago, they received news that the Inner Sect Disciples sent by the Divine Sword Sect to Xuan Province’s Lanxi County to handle the Exotic Beast Tuolong mission had a bloody conflict with the disciples of the Mysterious Netherworld Sect.

“Sect Master, this Mysterious Netherworld Sect is blatantly provoking us. Our Divine Sword Sect must retaliate with an eye for an eye, blood for blood.”

Martial Melody Peak Master Xie Tiancheng said, almost slamming his hand on the table.

In this conflict, his direct disciple, Ji Ming, was seriously injured.

“The Mysterious Netherworld Sect is going too far. I suggest we retaliate against them with equal force.”

Spiritual Void Peak Master Wei Quansheng also spoke up.

Because his disciple, Bai Wuqing, was also injured.

“Calm down, you two. This matter is not that simple. Our Divine Sword Sect and the Mysterious Netherworld Sect have always kept to themselves. The Mysterious Netherworld Sect suddenly acting like this, there must be other reasons behind it.”

Dripping Water Peak Master Yun Lei said.

“It’s not your disciple who got hurt, so stop talking nonsense.”

Martial Melody Peak Master Xie Tiancheng snorted coldly.

“What do you mean by nonsense? I’m just stating the facts. Bai Wuqing and Ji Ming, they are not only your disciples, but also disciples of our Divine Sword Sect. Do you think I’m not angry? If our Divine Sword Sect directly retaliates, we might just fall into a trap.”

Dripping Water Peak Master Yun Lei said in a deep voice.

“Peak Master Yun is right. The Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s actions are too strange this time. I’m wondering if this matter has anything to do with Prince Luo’s Residence?”

The fat elder said.

Although he was not a Peak Master, he was an Elder with Real Authority from Unity Peak.

Moreover, his disciple, Nangong Bei, became a True Disciple, which made the fat elder among the top ranks of Elders with Real Authority.

“That’s right, if it’s related to Prince Luo’s Residence, then it’s normal for the Mysterious Netherworld Sect to act like this.”

Unity Peak Master Hou Shuwen said.

The Mysterious Netherworld Sect has always been in close contact with Prince Luo’s Residence.

A few months ago, Prince Luo’s Residence held a Demon Extermination Assembly. After a vote, the Divine Sword Sect only sent an ordinary elder to deal with it.

“Just because it’s related to Prince Luo’s Residence, are we going to let the Mysterious Netherworld Sect ride roughshod over us?”

Martial Melody Peak Master Xie Tiancheng had a fiery temper and said with wide eyes.

“Of course not, we must retaliate, but it must be a planned retaliation.”

Unity Peak Master Hou Shuwen said, “I suggest putting pressure on the Mysterious Netherworld Sect, making them explain and compensate for this, and punish those who injured our disciples. They say that Lanxi County is the Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s demon extermination area, then we can also use the threat of half-demons as a reason to temporarily suspend the transportation of fine iron from Smelting City to the outside world.”

The fine iron from Smelting City was of excellent quality. In addition to supplying the imperial court, a portion of it also flowed to surrounding provinces and counties.

Major martial arts sects like the Mysterious Netherworld Sect, including Prince Luo’s Residence, also used fine iron from Smelting City.

“If Prince Luo’s Residence is really behind this, I’m afraid this won’t be enough to make the Mysterious Netherworld Sect back down.”

An elder said.

“Our target is not only the Mysterious Netherworld Sect, but also Prince Luo’s Residence. Prince Luo’s Residence wants to expand its private army, and they need a lot of fine iron. In the past two years, Prince Luo’s Residence has repeatedly requested to increase the amount of fine iron they purchase.”

Unity Peak Master Hou Shuwen chuckled.

He guessed that at the Demon Extermination Assembly a few months ago, Prince Luo’s Residence wanted to use this opportunity to win over the Divine Sword Sect and obtain a larger share of fine iron from Smelting City.

However, the Divine Sword Sect had its own considerations and did not want to get too close to a Feudal Lord like Prince Luo.

“I think Peak Master Hou’s suggestion is feasible.”

“That’s right, we should try diplomacy first and see the reaction of the Mysterious Netherworld Sect and Prince Luo’s Residence.”

“But we also have to guard against the Mysterious Netherworld Sect and Prince Luo’s Residence taking this opportunity to escalate the conflict, which would be detrimental to our Divine Sword Sect.”

“How dare they! The imperial court’s authority still stands. Could it be that Prince Luo’s Residence would dare to act against our Divine Sword Sect?”

The other Peak Masters and Elders with Real Authority also spoke up.

Most of them supported Unity Peak Master Hou Shuwen’s approach.

“Since that’s the case, let’s handle it according to Peak Master Hou’s method.”

Divine Sword Sect Master Feng Shaoyu said.

He naturally also leaned towards Hou Shuwen’s approach.

Directly retaliating against the Mysterious Netherworld Sect was definitely unwise.

Especially since the situation was unclear.

Time Bell Pavilion.

Li Qian had just finished practicing when he saw Liu Ming returning with a bamboo basket on his back.

He had gone to pick vegetables from his master’s vegetable garden.

◈◈◈

Liu Ming gently placed the bamboo basket on the ground and then carefully took out a fluffy young bird from the basket.

“Where did you get this?”

Li Qian jumped down from the bell tower and asked.

“Senior Brother Li, when I was picking vegetables, I heard a bird chirping under a big tree nearby, so I ran over to take a look and found this bird.”

Liu Ming quickly said, “I saw a very big nest on that tree, and I often see eagles flying in and out. This should be a young eagle. However, it’s covered in peck marks, I don’t know if it can survive?”

“Let me see.”

Li Qian said.

He was very interested in birds in his previous life and liked to take bird nests and raise young birds. He had raised mynahs, pigeons, bamboo partridges, and thrushes.

But he had never raised an eagle.

There was no way, raising eagles was illegal.

Liu Ming quickly handed over the young eagle.

The young eagle was not big, probably a small species of eagle, with black-brown fluff all over its body, covered with peck marks, looking skinny and weak. It must have been starved and bullied by other young eagles in the nest.

The young bird’s physical strength was obviously exhausted, its head drooping, its immature hooked beak weakly open.

“Go get some meat.”

Li Qian said to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming hurried into the house and took out a small piece of fresh beef. The Odd-Job Hall would deliver some fresh beef, mutton, or fish every day.

Li Qian took the beef, cut off a small piece, and fed it to the young eagle’s beak.

The young eagle tried to swallow but couldn’t.

It was clearly out of strength.

Li Qian could only take the beef out, and with a thought, he asked Liu Ming to go in and get a cup and water.

He took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill, scraped a little powder, mixed it with water, and casually found a twig, dipped it in the water, and dripped it into the young eagle’s beak.

After dripping a few drops, Li Qian stopped.

The Qi and Blood Pill was too potent, even a little bit might be too much for the young eagle to handle, so he couldn’t feed it too much.

Liu Ming, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue secretly. Using the precious Qi and Blood Pill to feed a young eagle, only Senior Brother Li could be so generous.

After a while, the young eagle’s condition improved a lot.

“Feed it some meat.”

Li Qian handed the young eagle to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming carefully cut off a small piece of beef and fed it to the young eagle.

The young eagle straightened its neck with effort, opened its mouth wide, and gobbled it down.

Seeing the young eagle eating normally, Li Qian smiled.

This little guy should be able to survive.

At this moment, a figure came to Time Bell Pavilion.

“Junior Brother Li.”

Li Qian had long sensed the person coming. He turned around and saw a black-clothed man with a shiny bald head.

It was the bald Pang Bai.

“Senior Brother Pang, what a rare guest. What brings you to my Time Bell Pavilion?”

Li Qian said with a smile.

Seeing an Inner Sect Disciple coming, Liu Ming quickly stood up and bowed, then took the young eagle to the side.

“No wonder Junior Brother Li has been hiding in this Time Bell Pavilion and not going to the Inner Sect. This Time Bell Pavilion has a beautiful environment and is very quiet. It’s really a good place for quiet cultivation.”

Pang Bai touched his bald head and then said with a smile.

“This Time Bell Pavilion is just a wilderness, a small hilltop. How can it be compared to a main peak like Martial Melody Peak.”

Li Qian said with a smile, “What brings Senior Brother Pang here?”

This Pang Bai never came without a reason. He suddenly came here, he must have something to say.
