Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1502: Resolving Old Grievances, United as One

It was none other than the Vice Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, Li Yunjing.

“Finally, we have a good beginning…”

Watching the choices made by those from Dubhe Peak, Li Yunjing appeared refined and elegant, a slight smile gracing his lips, his robe fluttered gracefully as he walked, exuding an air reminiscent of an immortal.

“Peak Master Xiao, it has been a long time.”

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yunjing stopped ten steps away, cupped his hands in salute, his voice clear like a bubbling spring, “I apologize for the unannounced visit, and hope for your forgiveness.”

“Vice Sect Leader Li’s esteemed presence is an honor for us at Dubhe Peak.”

Xiao Wuji took two steps forward, returned the salute with cupped hands, and said, “Please come inside for a talk.”

The two exchanged smiles, seemingly harmonious on the surface.

But Li Yunjing keenly noticed a fleeting gleam in Xiao Wuji’s eyes.

He walked side by side with Xiao Wuji without showing any change in expression, but his heart had already grown wary.

The party passed through the Mountain Gate, walking along the main path paved with bluestone toward the grand hall at the peak.

On both sides of the road, the disciples of Dubhe Peak stood in orderly rows. As the group passed, they saluted in unison, “Welcome Vice Sect Leader Li!”

Li Yunjing smiled, occasionally nodding to the disciples on both sides.

“Peak Master Xiao, how is Dubhe Peak these days?”

He asked as if casually, “I heard that last month, Dubhe Peak’s army went to the front lines at the Transverse Mountain Range?”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Wuji said indifferently, “The matter of the Transverse Mountain Range concerns a millennia-long strategy, our disciples of Dubhe Peak naturally do not lag behind.”

“As one of the seven main peaks of the sect, Dubhe Peak setting such an example is very comforting to me.”

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, “I haven’t been to the front lines in a long time myself and wonder what the current situation is like?”

Xiao Wuji’s heart stirred. The main forces of Dubhe Peak going to the Transverse Mountain Range had not been publicly announced, yet Li Yunjing knew such details. It seemed this Vice Sect Leader was quite attentive to Dubhe Peak!

His expression unchanged, he merely smiled slightly, “The situation remains quite stable. Our sect and the allies have firmly controlled one-third of the territory of Youyue Country, keeping the Transverse Mountain Range away from the ravages of war.”

“It seems the day when our sect controls the Transverse Mountain Range is drawing nearer.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes, and then he smiled, “I hope after our sect gains a second Ancestral Vein, the disciples under the sect will produce a burst of outstanding talents.”

As they spoke, they arrived at the grand hall.

Inside the hall, tea and fruits were already prepared. Xiao Wuji invited Li Yunjing to the seat of honor, while he sat in the main seat.

Three other Supreme Elders accompanied them at the table, while the other elders stood respectfully to the side serving, as they did not have the status to sit with these esteemed figures.

“Peak Master Xiao, to be honest, I, Mr. Li, have come to apologize this time!”

After several rounds of tea, Li Yunjing put down his cup and said seriously, “That day, I had a conflict with Fellow Daoist Tianhong and dueled at the Enmity Platform. It was a moment of impulse on my part, making me deeply regretful afterward…”

The hall fell into silence instantly.

No one had expected Li Yunjing to state his purpose so directly.

Master Tianheng’s hand trembled slightly, spilling a few drops of tea on the table.

“Oh?”

Yet Xiao Wuji’s expression did not change; he merely placed the tea cup down gently, “Back then it was a fair duel, it means nothing; why talk about apologies?”

Li Yunjing looked around, his gaze pausing briefly on the faces of the elders of Dubhe Peak before finally focusing on Xiao Wuji, “Peak Master Xiao is magnanimous, and I feel ashamed, Mr. Li.”

Li Yunjing sighed deeply, pain briefly flashing in his brow, “Although it was a fair duel, Fellow Daoist Tianhong and I were sect mates. It was a momentary clash of passions back then that resulted in a life-and-death separation…”

“Over the years, whenever I think of this, I have sleepless nights.”

He stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Wuji, “Today I have come to Dubhe Peak, firstly to apologize to Fellow Daoist Tianhong’s spirit, and secondly, to beg for forgiveness from the members of Dubhe Peak in consideration of our same sect ties!”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly solidified.

All eyes turned to Xiao Wuji.

At this moment, only Xiao Wuji could determine everything.

“Tianhongzi’s death grieves me deeply.”

Xiao Wuji’s voice was low, “But as for Vice Sect Leader Li, I have no grievances; it was only his overestimation of his abilities. There is no enmity between us.”

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wuji slowly stood up, looking at Li Yunjing, “Since Vice Sect Leader Li has sincerely apologized, let this matter be put to rest. If Fellow Daoist Tianhong knows in the afterlife, he surely wouldn’t want to see divisions among sect mates due to past grievances.”

“Peak Master Xiao’s nobility, Mr. Li will remember it.”

A look of relief flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes, he said earnestly.

“Vice Sect Leader Li, let bygones be bygones, let’s not mention it again!”

Seeing the change, Master Tianheng finally relaxed his tense expression and raised his teacup, “Although we are not of the same peak, we are all disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, we are family, any more pleasantries would be too distant.”

“Master Tianheng speaks correctly!”

Li Yunjing smiled and raised his tea cup in return to Master Tianheng, “I was being overly formal.”

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became as harmonious as ice melting in spring water.

The Supreme Elders, seeing the Peak Master’s clear attitude, relaxed and began to converse quietly.

Li Yunjing and Xiao Wuji discussed some sect matters, chatting and laughing as if they truly became friends.

“Today, I have disturbed you for a long time, Peak Master Xiao must still have important matters to discuss with everyone, so I shall not stay any longer.”

Not until the sun was inclined to the west did Li Yunjing rise to take his leave.

“Vice Sect Leader Li, should you have time in the future, often come to visit Dubhe Peak.”

Xiao Wuji personally escorted Li Yunjing to the Mountain Gate and suddenly said.

“Certainly.”

Upon being addressed as Vice Sect Leader so naturally, Li Yunjing was first taken aback, then a genuine smile appeared in his eyes, “Peak Master Xiao, should you have the time, please also come to Seven Stars Peak often.”
