The outcome of this consultation was as expected, Master Sanfeng lived up to his name as the supreme grandmaster of the Martial Arts path.
However, for Pei Xuanjing, he gained much insight.
When the two dueled, Master Sanfeng was actually guiding him. The cycle of life and death in the Shenxiao Heavenly Dao that Pei Xuanjing cultivated shared similarities with Master Sanfeng's Yin and Yang Harmony Path, giving him profound insight.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master," said Pei Xuanjing, returning his sword to its scabbard under the astonished gaze of the crowd.
He walked towards Grandmaster Zhang Zhizhan, holding his sword with great respect, and said, "Thank you for lending me your sword, Master."
Zhang Zhizhan smiled as he accepted the Three-Five Evil Slaying Sword back and replied lightly, "My Taoist Friend, you are too kind."
He no longer had the previous attitude of looking down at the younger generation and considered Pei Xuanjing as an equal.
