Weak Nations Have No Diplomacy

Such a sword, invisible to the naked eye, if wielded by an assassin lurking in the shadows, is indeed chilling to contemplate.

This sword is made of exceptional material. It is extremely rare.

Could an ordinary assassin obtain this sword?

The answer is clearly no.

Ye Feng's intuition told him that the murder of Guei Ye back then, especially the matter between Guei Ye and that Heavenly Kingdom Female Assassin, was probably not so simple.

If he were merely an assassin disliked by the Heaven Mending Sect, would the Heaven Mending Pavilion easily give up on Guei Ye, who had the strength to compete for the position of the Heaven Mending Sect leader?

Guei Ye has become an outcast of the Heaven Mending Sect, and it's possible that his rivals for the Heaven Mending Sect leader position will take this opportunity to suppress Guei Ye. But, just because he fell in love with an assassin, does that mean he'll be considered an outcast by the Heaven Mending Sect?

Ye Feng's intuition told him that there was a hidden story behind this.

Assassination?

Guei Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. Recalling the pain of the past, a deep killing intent filled his eyes.

Ye Feng noticed that besides the murderous intent, there was also a hazy, dreamy look in Guei Ye's eyes, as if he were missing that female assassin.

"Another romantic."

Ye Feng thought to himself, then tossed the sword in his hand to Guei Ye.

Ye Feng turned to leave. He took two steps, then stopped, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What are your thoughts on the Heaven Mending Sect?"

"You know about the Heaven Mending Sect?" Guei Ye asked in shock.

The Heaven Mending Sect was known to very few in the Lower Realm. Those who knew of it could be counted on one's fingers. Even the Human Emperor was unaware of its existence in the Upper Realm Heaven Mending Sect. However, Ye Feng did know of it.

This left Guei Ye utterly astonished.

Ye Feng has now entered the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Since he intends to overturn the fate of the Heaven Mending Pavilion's destruction, he has decided not to stand idly by. He continued, "Tell me your views on the Heaven Mending Sect?"

As expected, Guei Ye was a traitor. Yet, his heart remained as stubborn as ever.

"I founded the Heaven Mending Pavilion with the intention of supporting the Heaven Mending Sect. One day, I will return," said Guei Ye Gui.

In the original storyline, the Heaven Mending Pavilion was destroyed in the catastrophe, and the Heaven Mending Sect stood idly by. Even after his soul was scattered, Guei Ye still did not receive forgiveness from the Heaven Mending Sect. To the death, he remained an outcast of the Heaven Mending Sect.

Now, because of Guei Ye Feng, Master Gui has been reborn from the ashes. He still harbors the same obsession: he still hopes to be forgiven by the Heaven Mending Sect.

"Have you ever heard the saying?" Ye Feng asked.

"What did you say?" Guei Ye asked.

"A weak nation has no diplomacy."

"A weak nation has no diplomacy."

"And... even a rich man in the deep mountains has distant relatives, while a poor man in the bustling city has no one to care."

What do you want to say?

Guei Ye seemed to understand what Ye Feng meant, but he wasn't quite sure if Ye Feng was right or wrong.

"This is the Lower Realm, a prison for prisoners. No matter how much trouble someone causes in a prison cell, do you think the people outside will respect him?" Ye Feng pointed at Guei Ye.

Guei Ye remained silent, his head bowed.

This scene shocked both the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Mending Pavilion and Elder Xiong Fei.

In the vast Heaven Mending Pavilion, only Ye Feng dared to speak to Guei Ye in such a tone.

"Please forgive my bluntness, but the Heaven Mending Sect is the pillar of the Upper Realm. No matter how many talents you cultivate for it, it will look down on them. Guei Ye, have you ever thought that one day, instead of being forgiven by the Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect, you will be welcomed back to the Heaven Mending Sect with a red carpet spread for thousands of miles?" Ye Feng continued to guide the lost Guei Ye.

"Please return to the Heaven Mending Sect?"

Guei Ye, raising his head to gaze intently at Ye Feng. After a long silence, he asked excitedly, "Do you have a solution?"

A red carpet stretched for miles.

One hundred thousand people came to welcome them.

They were invited back to the Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect with such great ceremony.

Hiss~

Guei Ye gasped. His heart skipped a beat, as if he were experiencing his first love.

He really hadn't thought about such a thing.

He was a traitor, a traitor indeed. The Heaven Mending Sect expelled him back then. If they had allowed him to return to the Heaven Mending Pavilion with a thousand miles of red carpet and a hundred thousand people coming to welcome him, it would have been an incredibly glorious thing.

However, getting the Heaven Mending Sect to forgive him would be difficult. He couldn't think of a way to achieve this.

"Simple, increase your standing in the eyes of others, especially within the Heaven Mending Sect," Ye Feng replied.

"Increase my own importance. How do I increase my importance in the Heaven Mending Sect?" Guei Ye asked Ye Feng, impatient to beat Ye Feng up. He laughed and scolded, "You little brat, hurry up and say it. Don't stammer like that. You're making me so anxious."

"Hehe..." Ye Feng chuckled. He felt there would be rewards if he could overturn this storyline. He smiled and said, "If you want to increase your standing in the Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect make them beg you to return, there are two ways. First, you cultivate diligently and become a super strong expert who can dominate a region in the Upper Realm. Second, you strengthen the Heaven Mending Pavilion -Heaven Mending Pavilion, making it a force that even the Heaven -Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect can only look up to and aspire to."

"Strengthen the Heaven Mending Pavilion and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heaven Mending Sect? That's practically setting up your own independent entity." Guei Ye frowned, somewhat resistant to Ye Feng's idea.

"Haven't you already started your own business?" Ye Feng smiled.

"Well!"

Guei Ye was speechless. His original intention in establishing the Heaven Mending Pavilion was to show the Heaven- Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect his repentant heart and to hope for their forgiveness.

"As far as I know, in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, there is a sect called the Heaven Mending Dao. It has some connection with the Heaven Mending Sect. But you, in the eyes of the Heaven Mending Sect -Heaven Mending Dao, are like the Heaven Mending Pavilion and the Heaven Mending Sect. The latter also looks down on the former. If the Heaven Mending Pavilion Heaven Mending Dao as powerful as the Heaven Mending Sect still look down on the Heaven Mending Pavilion -Heaven Mending Sect still consider you its outcast?" Ye Feng asked Guei Ye one after another.

"But... this is the Lower Realm. It's very difficult for the Heaven Mending Pavilion to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heaven Mending Sect Heaven Mending Sect, or even surpass it," Guei Ye sighed.

"Guei Ye, tell me, how do the geniuses here compare to those in the Upper Realm?"

"Some people are even more outstanding than those in the Upper Realm."

"Yes, they were originally more outstanding than the geniuses of the Upper Realm. It's just that they were limited by cultivation resources, which prevented them from growing and realizing their potential. Therefore, we need to attack the Upper Realm."

"To conquer... the Upper Realm?"

"The calamity from the Upper Realm is not far off. When the calamity descends, it will be our chance to ascend to the Upper Realm."

"You're thinking of... breaking out of prison?"

Guei Ye Gui looked surprised. He had been banished to the Lower Realm, and he had never considered returning to the Upper Realm. He had been hoping to gain the forgiveness of the Heaven Mending Sect.

Smash your way to the Upper Realm!

Hiss~

Guei Ye gasped inwardly.

He suddenly realized his mistake.

It turns out that besides being passively forgiven by others, he had another path he could take: to fight his way back to the Upper Realm.
