Chapter 4347
“So, what’s your answer?”
Kai gazed at the woman, breathless. “Do you really want me to stay here indefinitely, sacrificing my life in return?”
“Ha! Who said anything about giving your life? All I asked was for you to promise never to speak the truth about this incident.”
“And what’s your name? You can’t take advantage of me without even revealing who you are!”
The woman shot back at Kai!
“I’m Kai. I promise I won’t say anything about today’s events. Is that satisfactory for you?”
Kai replied, feeling exasperated.
“Not at all! You’ve ruined my precious sword, and you need to compensate me before we can move on…”
The woman shook her head in dismay.
“Compensate you? What do you expect me to give you? Besides, it was you who attacked me first and nearly took my life! And now you want me to pay for your sword?”
Kai was left speechless; this woman was utterly perplexing!
She had initiated the attack, and after defending himself, he found himself being asked to make reparations for her sword.
“Then how about you compensate me with the sword you’re holding? It doesn’t look too shabby to me!”
The woman declared.
“No way…” Kai exclaimed, “This sword is like my life; there’s no way I can repay you with it.”
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll use this sword to kill you, so stop whining…”
Kai was fuming, but the woman showed no fear. She glared back at him with fury. “That sword was forged by the Weapon Refining Sect, and it’s ranked fifty-eighth in our Ten Thousand Swords Sect!”
“If you don’t repay me, I’ll have to fight you…”
“Your sword was made by the Weapon Refining Sect?” Kai was taken aback!
“Exactly! Most of our swords are crafted by them; they’re not just any old swords, so you owe me!”
The woman began to whine again.
“I had no idea your Ten Thousand Swords Sect still worked with the Weapon Refining Sect. But I thought that sect had fallen into disarray and was no longer able to forge swords for you?”
Kai recalled that the patriarch of the Weapon Refining Sect had been captured by the Fire Burning Sect, leading to its downfall.
“How do you know all this?”
The woman looked surprised, then continued, “It’s true; the Fire Burning Sect destroyed the Weapon Refining Sect over a decade ago, capturing its patriarch and many elders. That’s why our Ten Thousand Swords Sect hasn’t received new swords for so long.”
“However, not long ago, several elders from the Weapon Refining Sect returned and began to recruit new disciples. The sect is slowly coming back to life, although it’s much smaller now.”
As Kai listened to her, he suddenly remembered rescuing those elders from the dungeon of the Demon Heart Sect when he first arrived in the Celestial Realm!
Master Ironhammer had mentioned then that he aimed to revitalize the Weapon Refining Sect!
It seemed that the Weapon Refining Sect was indeed on the path to revival.
“Honestly, I’m the one who helped rejuvenate the Weapon Refining Sect. I’m its benefactor.”
Kai revealed to the woman!
“You’re joking! You’re just a lowly cultivator at the 7th rank of the Transition Realm. How could you possibly be a benefactor to the Weapon Refining Sect? Even if you possess some strength, you’re nothing more than an ant compared to a major sect like that.”
“You think that by saying this, I’ll let you off the hook? If you don’t compensate me for my sword today, I won’t rest until I do something about it.”
The woman simply didn’t believe Kai!
“Believe what you want, but let me clarify: the Dragon Chopping Sword I wield is the Zhen Zong Sword of the Weapon Refining Sect, and it was personally repaired by the Sword Elder.”
Kai brandished the Zhan Long Sword, emphasizing his point.
When the woman heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the Zhan Long Sword. Then she scoffed, “Who are you trying to fool? There’s no way you received the Zhen Zong Sword from the Weapon Refining Sect, and I’ve never heard of this Sword Elder you mentioned.”
