After settling the messenger, Elder Gan took the letter and hurried to Talu. After asking the students seeking guidance to leave, he said with a serious expression, "Talu, Peace and Radiance Hall has sent a letter."
When Talu heard the words "Peace and Radiance Hall," her expression became serious. She took the letter and opened it to read.
The first thing she saw was the beautiful Da Shun Golden Pavilion Style calligraphy. It began with a series of routine greetings, and then used a few brief sentences to recall the origins of the two factions, before stating their real purpose.
It said that the two factions had a tradition of exchanging skills with each other since old times.
When the previous Talu was in charge, the two factions also exchanged skills. Therefore, this time Peace and Radiance Hall planned to send a disciple to spar with the current Talu.
Although the tone seemed humble and polite, in reality it was more like a notice, simply telling them what they were going to do, without caring what they thought.
Elder Gan said worriedly, "The visitors are not friendly. Moreover, they're coming at this time, Peace and Radiance Hall is aiming for the Fissure. If they bring that thing with them, then as long as Mr. Chen starts Cultivation at night, they will likely discover the existence of that Fissure."
Talu asked, "Elder Gan, do they really have that thing in their hands?"
Elder Gan said, "Your master mentioned this matter, it is very likely."
Back then, when the Fist Sect from Singular Flow Pavilion fought against the Blade Sect of Peace and Radiance Hall, he was carrying a personal token. It was said that this item could sense the existence of the Fissure from a distance.However, at that time the Fissure had long disappeared, and everyone in the Pavilion believed that the Fissure was gone, so this item was simply a memento. Moreover, the body of that ancestor was not sent back, so it was likely taken away by the people of Peace and Radiance Hall.
But the previous Talu found the Fissure again, so this item became valuable again. Peace and Radiance Hall may also have guessed the function of this item. If the other party carries it with them this time, once they land on the island, if Chen Chuan enters Cultivation at night, then they may be able to discover the true location of the Fissure through those anomalies.
In fact, even if Chen Chuan stops Cultivation, it would be useless, because after the Ferris Wheel Corporation left, Singular Flow Pavilion was destined to be coveted by Peace and Radiance Hall, and this period of time is almost the last and best time for Peace and Radiance Hall to achieve their goal. They will definitely find the Fissure at all costs.
If they really can't find it, then they probably won't allow the Fissure to be left to others. It's hard to say what Peace and Radiance Hall will do, and this is what Elder Gan is most worried about.
He thought for a while and said, "Talu, with our Strength, it is difficult to deal with Peace and Radiance Hall. This matter must be discussed with Mr. Chen."
Talu nodded and said, "We'll go find Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan was sitting in front of the lotus seat, feeling two people approaching, he opened his eyes, stood up from the spot, and turned back to say, "Is Peace and Radiance Hall going to make a move?"
Elder Gan couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Mr. Chen, how did you know?"
Chen Chuan smiled, "The Spirits of you two have already told me what you are about to face."
He felt that the energy field and Spirit of the two were in a state of extreme alert and vigilance, which seemed to be caused by being stimulated when facing some powerful opponents. Moreover, Talu's performance was more active and uplifting, obviously not only fearing the opponent, but also looking forward to the opponent.
Then the most likely thing to cause this situation is the Peace and Radiance Hall mentioned earlier.
The relaxed look he showed at the moment made Elder Gan relax a little. He calmed down and said, "Peace and Radiance Hall just sent a letter, but it's no different from a challenge letter. Their people may come here within these two days."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. In fact, he was mentally prepared for this. Even an action team of the Linax Federation like Wutike had noticed Radiant Mist Island, so how could a force like Peace and Radiance Hall, which had long been eyeing Singular Flow Pavilion, let it go?
If they miss this window of opportunity, there will be no chance in the future.
He said to the two of them, "Old sir, Talu, I said before, we are both Purist Faction, and this matter also involves me, I will advance and retreat together with you."
Elder Gan was relieved to hear him say this. Not to mention Chen Chuan's performance last night, he was even able to see the inheritance of secret technique, which gave him a lot of confidence.
You should know that the previous old Talu only saw these things when she was in her forties or fifties. He remembered that the old Talu's Strength was very powerful at that time. In the Outer Ocean, except for those Blade Sect who never showed up, she had hardly encountered any decent opponents.
He felt that even if Mr. Chen could not reach this level, even if he was close, he should be able to deal with the people from Peace and Radiance Hall, but there was still one worry.
He said, "Peace and Radiance Hall is likely to send their chief disciple Ye Jianhong this time."
Chen Chuan had heard this name in his chat with San Cheng Huang, and had also learned some information from the side, but that was all, because San Cheng Huang had never seen this person either, so he asked, "How is Ye Jianhong's Strength?"
Elder Gan said, "It is said that his talent is only average. If it were just himself, it should not be difficult for Mr. Chen to deal with him, but...
The old Talu said before her death that each generation of Peace and Radiance Hall's chief disciple is not necessarily the strongest in Martial Combat ability, but he is definitely the one who can bear the Spirit of the Blade Sect the most."
Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. Spirit entrustment? This reminded him of Jian Cheng Sheng.
"The old Talu said that Martial Combat halls that can be passed down to this day on the Outer Ocean all have Skills to entrust their own Spirit to their disciples. Some methods are relatively gentle, some are relatively rough, and some are necessary for Cultivation. Peace and Radiance Hall is between the latter two.
Ye Jianhong can become the chief disciple. According to Peace and Radiance Hall's consistent tradition, it is not about how well he has learned the secret inheritance, but about how suitable he is to accept the Strength of the master."
Perhaps fearing that Chen Chuan would be afraid because of this, he added, "However, the Strength of the Blade Sect is too powerful. Although a disciple can accept his Strength, the Limit of what he can bear is ultimately limited, so his Strength should not reach an uncontrollable level."
Chen Chuan nodded. This statement was reasonable. Even if there were some exceptions, it would not be incomprehensible. He sincerely said:
"You two, if Ye Jianhong comes to the island and makes a challenge invitation, then please leave it to me to deal with him. Although I am not from Singular Flow Pavilion, the two of you are comrades of the Purist Faction, not to mention that I cannot avoid this matter either."
Elder Gan said very gratefully, "Mr. Chen, thank you." Then he looked solemn again, "In that case, Talu and I will go to give Peace and Radiance Hall an official reply."
Chen Chuan nodded.
After the two left, he thought to himself that such an opponent would be very helpful for the development of his own Internal energy. Then he turned around and sat down in front of the lotus seat again.
Seven days later, a ferry braved the big waves and sailed into Flourishing Luo Island. After the ship entered the port, in the pouring rain, several Martial Artists wearing ancient costumes and hair buns came down from above.
What they wore was the Martial Combat attire of Peace and Radiance Hall.
There are very many disciples of the three major halls in the Outer Ocean. There are also many branch halls of Martial Combat halls, but those who can wear these costumes are all from the main hall, which made the people at the Port pay more attention to them.
These people surrounded a short and thin person in the middle. Judging from the figure, it looked like a Young man, but looking at the face, it was a young man.
This person's face was somewhat dazed, and he seemed to have low intelligence, but those who accompanied him treated him with great respect.
At this time, the thin young man turned to look at one side, and then suddenly broke away from the team and walked in a certain direction. The people behind him hurriedly came up to grab him and said, "We need to find a place to stay first, and then go to Radiant Mist Island when the weather is better, please go this way."
The thin young man looked at him, his eyes became more confused, and the others also came up to persuade him carefully, and then brought him back to the team and came to a hotel that had been arranged in advance.
Two more days later, the strong winds that had lasted for more than ten days weakened a little. The messenger came to the island again and sent another letter to Elder Gan.
This was the second letter from Peace and Radiance Hall, saying that they had arrived at Flourishing Luo Island and were preparing to visit Talu of Singular Flow Pavilion.
Elder Gan frowned.
From the itinerary, the people from Peace and Radiance Hall set off almost on the same day they sent the letter, and did not wait for the reply from Singular Flow Pavilion to arrive, which shows that this time Peace and Radiance Hall has done some superficial cover-ups, but that's all.
He looked at the time on his watch, and the other party was about to arrive in about half an hour. The other party was pressing every step of the way, not giving them any room to react.
He breathed out, selected a few disciples from the Martial Combat hall, and took them to the dock below to wait. After waiting for a while, he saw a sailboat sailing from the sea.
When the ship gradually approached and docked at the dock, disciples wearing Peace and Radiance Hall costumes walked down from above one by one. Their eyes were sharp when they walked, and each of them held the Long Sword around their waists, looking like they might strike at any moment.
Elder Gan walked up, and those people looked over in unison, their eyes piercing like knives.
He remained calm, came to these people, and said in a deep voice, "I am Gan Guo, a teacher of Singular Flow Pavilion. Talu asked me to come and welcome you." As he spoke, he bowed.
The group of people looked at him for a moment, and one of them came out and returned the gift with a bow.
"I am Shi Yuanba, a disciple of Peace and Radiance Hall. This time, I am following the instructions of my teacher to accompany my senior brother to visit the fellow practitioners of Singular Flow Pavilion. Please forgive me for any offense."
"So it's Mr. Shi Yuan." Elder Gan looked behind him and said, "I wonder which one is Mr. Ye Jianhong?"
Shi Yuanba's expression became solemn, straightened his body, took a step to the side, revealing the confused, short and thin young man, and said solemnly, "This is my senior brother of Peace and Radiance Hall, Ye Jianhong."
