Chapter 1460: Blade Wielder Translator: Legge Heavenly Secrets had a calm expression as he bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, “Master, a few years ago, the God, Witch and other primordial races sought me out and asked me to divine the location of the primordial taboo.” Su Zimo frowned slightly. To think that Heavenly Secrets was the disciple of the storyteller! Heavenly Secrets and Xuanji… from that perspective, the two of them should be fellow disciples. Heavenly Secrets continued, “I was worried that the taboo would grow and wreak havoc in Tianhuang Mainland, so I agreed to help and divine the location of the taboo.” “However, this matter was stopped by Junior Brother Xuanji.” “Junior Brother Xuanji is on good terms with Desolate Martial and the primordial taboo is the latter’s spirit beast. I can understand why Junior Brother Xuanji would object to it.” “However, Enigma Palace is concerned about the masses and can’t prioritize personal relationships. As such, I reported this to the Palace Lord and the other elders for them to make a decision.” When he heard that, Lin Xuanji could not help but stifle a chuckle and mock, “The primordial races were the ones who wreaked havoc in Tianhuang Mainland back then. Why are you still working with them? Why don’t you go and kill them instead?” “Junior Brother, I know that you harbor resentment, but I’m not to blame for imprisoning you,” Heavenly Secrets said indifferently with a calm expression. At that moment, Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze coughed gently. “At that time, I discussed with the elders and indeed, the threat of the taboo was greater. Therefore, I asked Heavenly Secrets to join forces with the primordial races to eliminate that Hou for the time being.” “Since Lin Xuanji was insistent on objecting, we imprisoned him temporarily and allowed Heavenly Secrets to become the young master so that he can interact with the primordial races and plan this matter.” “The establishment of the young master is in line with the palace rules and was decided through a discussion between the elders of the palace,” “Yes,” The storyteller nodded, still expressionless. “Very well, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.” After a brief pause, he shifted his gaze towards Heavenly Secrets and asked indifferently, “However, what’s up with the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra that you’re cultivating?” Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Many gazes landed on Heavenly Secrets instantly. Many cultivators were shocked. Earlier on, they did not take Su Zimo’s words seriously at all. But now that the storyteller said that, there could be no mistake! The young master of Enigma Palace had cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra! Even Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze, Half-Martial Ancestor Li Heng and the others looked at Heavenly Secrets in disbelief and frowned. Among everyone, Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove did not have much of a reaction. Instead, there was a hint of panic in their eyes. “Heavenly Secrets, did you really cultivate that fiend technique?” Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze asked. Heavenly Secrets had a calm expression. He had expected that he could not hide it from the storyteller! He said frankly, “I did cultivate the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this cultivation technique. Desolate Martial cultivated this fiend technique as well but he still established the Martial Dao to impart martial arts to all living beings all the same.” “That’s right,” The storyteller nodded. “There’s indeed nothing wrong with a fiend technique. The key lies in the people who cultivated it. When Desolate Martial cultivated it, he saved countless humans in Myriad Phenomenon City! What is your purpose for cultivating it?” “Master, I didn’t use it to do anything outrageous,” Heavenly Secrets displayed a strong mental fortitude against the storyteller’s question and explained in a deep voice without any panic. “You’re involved in Qin Pianran’s death, right?” The storyteller asked indifferently. At the mention of that, the hatred fiend qi around Yan Beichen intensified and his eyes shone with endless killing intent! “Master Ming Jian, Dao Lord Immortal Sword has some personal ties with me. I couldn’t reject his request to help,” Heavenly Secrets replied, “Furthermore, I only divined Qin Pianran’s location. I did not lay my hands on her the entire time, let alone know that Dao Lord Immortal Sword would kill her.” “Of course you knew,” The storyteller said, “Moreover, you knew in your heart that with Qin Pianran’s death, Yan Beichen will definitely turn into a fiend and become this generation’s Fiend Emperor Hatred!” “Your target was not Qin Pianran the entire time, but Yan Beichen!” “You wanted the birth of a true Asura so that he could be the first blade in your hands!” Yan Beichen was stunned and his expression changed indeterminately. From time to time, he would frown and his features would contort, as though he was in immense pain! So, right from the beginning, he was someone else’s chess piece. Pianran’s death was entirely because of him! His fate was not in his control at all! Heavenly Secrets was silent. The storyteller continued, “The so-called worry of the taboo wreaking havoc in Tianhuang Mainland was merely an excuse. After all, the taboo would become the second blade in your hands.” “You merely had a single motive for capturing Night Spirit instead of killing it. You wanted to lure out your third blade, Desolate Martial!” “Your fourth blade was the major sects and factions of the cultivation world!” “Your fifth blade was the primordial races!” The storyteller said slowly, “And you, Heavenly Secrets, are the blade wielder behind this! All you had to do was gather the five blades at Heaven and Earth Valley to create a wanton massacre!” “At that time, Heaven and Earth Valley would be filled with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. No matter which blade was snapped, it won’t affect you at all! That’s because you’ll already be the biggest winner and Heaven and Earth Valley would become the best place for you to cultivate the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!” Those words were earthshaking! The cultivators were dumbfounded in shock! Even Demoness Ji, Ming Zhen and Lin Xuanji were astounded with widened eyes! Although they had heard about the battle at Heaven and Earth Valley, they did not know that there was a blade wielder manipulating everyone’s fates behind the scenes! Even Desolate Martial was his chess piece! Su Zimo sighed internally. Initially, he had the same speculation but he was still unsure about many things. Now that the storyteller had explained it so clearly, he truly understood the entire situation. Heavenly Secrets was indeed terrifying. If not for Monk Daming, Su Zimo would have been a chess piece abandoned and sacrificed by Heavenly Secrets! “What great expense you went through,” The storyteller nodded as well and sighed. Even though the storyteller explained everything, Heavenly Secrets still smiled indifferently without any panic in his eyes—he was frighteningly calm! Heavenly Secrets smiled gently. “Master, you’re wrong. I didn’t refine a single drop of Heaven and Earth Valley’s bloodline.” “That’s right,” At the mention of this, the storyteller shook his head as well and lamented, “Man proposes but God disposes. You’ve planned everything but you never expected that you would become the sixth blade in the hands of others!” Those words pierced into Heavenly Secrets’s chest like a thorn! Up till this point of his cultivation, he had planned flawlessly and had never made such a huge mistake! The smile on Heavenly Secrets’s face gradually vanished. It was only at that moment that a hint of anger and indignance flashed through his eyes. However, they vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. In Chinese, his name is Tianji
