Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 266

Shushan, Hall of San Qing.

Sect Leader sat with various elders in the hall with solemn expressions written over their faces. As they entered deep thought on their seats, they examined Feng Tianming sitting below.

“Tianming, do you know what you did?” An elder asked.

“I brought an outsider into Shushan, someone not from Hua Xia.” Feng Tianming explained slowly.

“You know what kind of punishment you will receive after breaking these two rules?” Another elder asked.

“I will have to reflect on my actions alone for three years for breaking the first rule. For the second rule, the punishments range from physical torture for 10 years at Regret Sword Cliff to being expelled from the sect after removing my cultivation.” Lowering his head, Feng Tianming replied.

“You broke the rules purposely!” Another elder chided him.

“I have spent a long time helping to cultivate you so as to elevate the status of Shushan. What exactly have you done!”

The second elder of Shushan asked. He was naturally the most disappointed as he had the most expectation of him.

“Tianming, please explain why you broke the rules.”

At this time, Sect Leader Mu Wujian asked him to state his reasons.

After thinking for a while, Feng Tianming placed his palm on his fist as an act of respect. “Sect Leader, I owed many favors to this girl. When I was in the west, Brother Wang Bugui made me collaborate with her in our elimination of evil.”

“In numerous dangerous battles, she had saved me countless times, risking her own life. I can be honest in saying that she was more injured because of me than all the injuries I had had in my life!”

“Master and leaders here had taught me since young that I must return my favors with gratitude. How else can I repay her act of saving my life?”

“This…”

His words made the elders speechless. They never expected the Japanese girl to be saving his life countless times.

Seeing the expressions of the elders, Feng Tianming continued, “I already have an idea in my heart. I shall accompany her who saved my life with my entire life.”

“Thus, anywhere I go, I will bring her. I am worried about her, worried that she might get lost, worried that she will be hungry, worried that she might be injured.”

Then, he looked at Mu Wujian and asked, “Master, what happened to me? Once I think of her, I cannot calm myself down.”

“You love her.” Mu Wujian explained.

“What?!”

“How can he love someone from another race?!”

“No, no! If he loves someone now, his route of cultivation will be more difficult!”

Instantly, those elders were disturbed by his words. The way of the Shushan is that of the immortal sword art. Love at a young age is a great hindrance to cultivation.

Feng Tianming was a rare and strongest genius they had seen over the past 1,000 years. If this resulted in the impediment of his future and that of Shushan, it would be unacceptable to them.

“Love…”

Feng Tianming wasn’t concerned about those. His mind wondered about remembering the moments he had spent with Misawa Chihiro. Laughter, sadness, enthusiasm or sacrifice.

He was amazed to find out that he had locked every single memory about Chihiro deeply in his mind sea. Half of his memories were retained by her.

He asked himself when exactly did he slowly start changing his focus on the sceneries of the world to Misawa Chihiro.

When did his life become about her?

“Tianming, Tianming!”

“Wake up, Tianming!”

Suddenly, calls pulled him back from his memory. When he woke up, he was already sweaty, looking at the elders with blurry eyes.

“Looks like the girl had a very important position in his heart. He seemed to be engrossed in it.” The third elder of Shushan shook his head and sighed.

“Tianming, you should never love that foreign girl! You cannot tell what someone from a foreign race may be plotting!” The fourth elder of Shushan tried convincing him.

“That’s right, you are still growing now and shall not love anyone. Furthermore, that girl is Japanese and can harm you.” The second elder agreed as well.

“Brothers, enough!”

At this time, Mu Wujian stopped the heated discussions in the hall and faced Feng Tianming, announcing, “This is the private matter of Tianming, and we have no rights to interfere.”

“But, brother, he…” The third elder argued.

However, he was stopped by Mu Wujian’s hand gesture as he continued, “Our sect had stopped the rule of restricting love. All the powerful legends in the history of our sect had all loved before.”

“They all loved the mortal world. The mortal world is a world of love. Only someone with love can truly understand the meaning of swordsmanship.”

Hearing that, fourth elder frowned and explained, “However, that woman is from another race! Brother, did you forget what those bandits did to Hua Xia?”

Mu Wujian nodded and said, “I will never forget that. However, we cannot be racist because of that. The fault of war laid in those powerful and ambitious men, not in any ordinary citizen.”

“Furthermore that girl had saved Tianming time after time. That proved that she does not have a bad heart. I can rest assured to place Tianming in her care.”

“Brother!!”

His last sentence shocked every single elder, making them almost fall from their seats. He did imply that he had agreed to the marriage between Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro?!

“Why such a big commotion? Us old bones only had such little contributions after dedicating our whole life to Taoism! We should let Tianming choose his own path!”

Mu Wujian said. His ideas were different from the other elders. Feng Tianming had grown to become almost more powerful than him. He can totally decide on such matters himself.

“Please rethink your decision! Even though Tianming did owe the girl favors, he could just repay them in other ways. There is no need to love a girl from another race!” The second elder smiled bitterly.

However, Mu Wujian merely shook his head. “In the history of our sect, the drunkard sword immortal fell in love with a demon. Do you think that the demon wanted to hurt him?”

“That demon loved the drunkard sword immortal deeply. They are of different species and were sworn enemies coming together because of love. Race is such a trivial matter!”

“You need to know that love has no boundaries!!”

“However, this…”

Various elders wished to continue convincing but they realized that what Mu Wujian said indeed made sense. In the history of Shushan, there had indeed been plenty of touching love stories.

Drunkard Sword Immortal fell in love with a fox demon. A swordsman who almost became an immortal loved a mortal girl by accident. Another sword saint killed powerful masters form a dozen sects because of a princess of the Evil Spirit Race.

If we look from the perspective of the rightful sects, their actions were hideous crimes. However, they never regretted it. Even if they did, it was because they could not stay with the one they loved.

The drunkard sword immortal was forced to leave the fox demon, who was executed by Shushan. In his anger, he removed the cultivation of half his disciples before leaving the sect alone with that beautiful corpse.

The swordsman who almost became an immortal saw the mortal girl die out of old age. She then howled out before being buried away.

The sword saint was indeed the most miserable of them all. For the Evil Spirit Race, he had offended most proper sects.

In the battle with the proper sects, the princess of Evil Spirit Race blocked numerous sword attacks for Sword Saint. In his anguish, he sacrificed himself to pull everyone down the grave with her.

Their endings were indeed all terrible. However, they had never regretted loving that person. Furthermore, these individuals were famous powerful individuals in Shushan. The sword techniques they created were still used today.

Mu Wujian glanced at Feng Tianming, asking, “Tianming, what’s your view on this?”

“Headmaster, I’ve said that I will meet the largest threat in my life when I left for the west. I think I met her now.”

“Ever since I met here, my destiny and everything about her had been changed.” Feng Tianming slowly explained.

“So this is your biggest threat?”

Those elders were alarmed. If that was the case, the situation was much worse than what they had originally imagined. He could not avoid a threat and could only face it head-on.

“What thoughts do you have? Do you want to cut all emotional ties to prevent this threat, or?” Mu Wujian asked.

“I… facing the threat, I want to surpass it and defeat it!” Feng Tianming gritted his teeth.

Hearing that, Mu Wujian nodded. “Very well. You shall face it head-on. I will not stop you. In today’s scenario, I believe that the elders will not stop you as well. One prevent stop a threat.”

As he finished his sentence, he glanced at the elders. They all sighed and lowered their heads. They had to agree that they could not stop a threat like this.

“I shall leave now. Brother Bugui asked me to go to Pure Land as there seemed to be a great opportunity for cultivation there.” Feng Tianming waved bye to his elders.

“Go ahead, your crimes are dismissed. Face your threat as no one could help you with it. You have to surpass it yourselves.” Mu Wujian smiled gently.

Hearing that, Feng Tianming nodded his head and bowed to the rest before leaving the hall. He walked directly to a huge pool where a giant metal sword resided.

The place was known as the Sword Forging Pool, a place in Shushan with the most aura, also a great tourist attraction.

By the pool, a beautiful figure sat there. She touched the surface of the water with her hands, wishing to see what changes would occur if she stretched it in.

Seeing that, Feng Tianming smiled. “Chihiro.”

“Hi!!!”

Misawa Chihiro jumped up from the ground, his hands playing in front of her as she was afraid to stare directly at him.

“No worries, I asked you to follow me to Kunlun Mountain to meet big brother.” Feng Tianming smiled unwillingly.

“Oh, in that case… good. Let’s go!”

Chihiro touched her head as she jumped to in front of Feng Tianming, hugging his waist naturally.

“You…” Feng Tianming blushed slightly.

“Why? Are we not riding the sword?” Chihiro asked, sticking her head out.

“Eh, yes… hug tight!”

Feng Tianming summoned Scarlet Heaven Sword, enlarging it before flying to Kunlun Mountain with Chihiro.
