Following the clarifications from Xie Lingfan, Zhong Nantian finally learned that their sect's former Wine Sword Immortal, Li Ruobai, had been reincarnated as the Northern Wilderness Sword God, Dugu Ye. Having rejected Xie Lingfan's invitation over twenty years ago, his active return to the territory of the Yitian WanJian Sect now was surely not as simple as merely coming home.
"Alas, it is good that Ruobai has returned. It is time for the matters of the past to reach their conclusion." Zhong Nantian sighed, his mind drifting back to the events that occurred when Li Ruobai was still in the sect. However, he felt no sorrow or guilt; his heart remained calm, like a mirror, as he prepared for Dugu Ye's arrival.
"Senior Brother Zhong, the Wujie Divine Sword is nearing completion. I suspect Dugu Ye will not dare to ascend the mountain at this moment," Xie Lingfan said, a touch of chill in his voice. "We all respected Li Ruobai as our Senior Brother back then, but it is also true that he nearly tore the sect apart. The Dugu Ye of today has nothing to do with our Yitian WanJian Sect. Even if we consider our old ties, he will not reciprocate. It would be better to make a clean break, lest the world mock us."
