The Elental Heaven Peak Master’s clone descended silently and stopped in front of Yu Xuan.
Without a word, her gaze swept over him and then over the others.
Invisible threads brushed across minds probing for ntal erosion.
After a long breath, she withdrew her power and sighed.
Nothing, considering what they had just returned from.
Earlier, when her spirit projection had manifested inside the gate, she had remained partially connected to it.
Through that link, she had witnessed nearly everything that had transpired within, enough to give even her a headache.
Yu Xuan felt a chill and instinctively glanced behind her.
Bing Xin stood there, arms folded, staring at him with an expression that could only be described as... deeply ungrateful.
"???"
’What did I do?’ Yu Xuan wondered sincerely.
Sensing soone looking at him, he shifted his gaze elsewhere, only to lock eyes with Daoist Flowing Sword, who was also looking at him.
It’s just that the look was... strangely.
As if he lost a great gamble.
Yu Xuan’s scalp tingled.
’No, seriously. What happened?’
His instincts scread that trouble was already lining up to greet him.
The Elental Heaven Peak Master finally spoke, her tone flat but heavy.
"You are remarkably talented," she said.
Then paused for effect.
"And equally remarkable at creating trouble.
Yu Xuan opened his mouth then closed it.
He genuinely didn’t know how to respond.
After all, he had been attacked first enthusiastically.
What Yu Xuan didn’t know was that Ancestor Wan’s brief descent had nearly ignited a full-scale war between the two factions that had descended into the Lower Realms.
If not for several old monsters restraining themselves, the consequences would have been catastrophic.
"I..." Yu Xuan started, then stopped, realizing there was no sentence that could possibly fix this.
He had been wronged!
The Elental Heaven Peak Master glanced very deliberately at Ming Tiani for a fleeting mont, then turned back to the group.
"Enough," she said.
"All of you will report to the Discipline Committee imdiately, everything in detail and do not skip anything."
Her eyes sharpened.
With that, she stepped back.
The surrounding elders nodded subtly, and one by one, their figures dissolved into light, vanishing from the cloud platform.
In truth, they already knew most of what had happened.
This was not about information.
It was about procedure and then deciding how the Heaven Immortal Sect would respond next.
After it was a simple matter of cause and effect.
***
Yu Xuan and the others soon arrived at the Discipline Committee’s territory, located within the floating island.
Along the way, Yu Xuan noticed Bing Xin, her expression calm but clearly attentive.
Beside Yu Zhen, however, stood another woman – tall, sharp-featured, with flowing golden hair and eyes like polished amber.
She was speaking casually, completely ignoring the tense surroundings.
"Your foundation is surprisingly stable for soone without a master," she said, looking at Yu Zhen like she was inspecting a rare treasure.
"Our peak values stability above all else. With proper guidance, your future is unquestionably bright."
Yu Zhen smiled awkwardly, clearly unsure how to respond.
He was being scouted for extra work.
Apparently, she was from Order Heaven Peak, the sa peak as Yu Zhen and judging by her enthusiasm, she had already decided he was worth investing in.
anwhile, Yu Xuan slowed his pace slightly.
"We need to have a serious talk," he said to Ming Tiani through spirit sense.
"Huh? ...Okay," Ming Tiani replied after a brief pause.
Internally, her thoughts were a ss.
Her carefully prepared damsel in distress script had completely collapsed.
Worse, she had already revealed her biggest secret to Yu Xuan. There was no going back now.
She sighed inwardly.
’Great. Now I can’t even pretend to need his help. I’m officially an all-knowing liability. But maybe I could try that inheritance.’
Soon, the group entered a vast hall.
At the front, a long semicircle of seats was occupied.
Elders.
Peak representatives.
Observers from multiple factions.
So sat openly, others concealed themselves behind veils of qi.
Every single gaze carried weight.
The mont the Yu Clan disciples stepped inside, they felt it.
Pressure.
Yu Xuan’s eyes swept the room calmly.
Among the familiar faces, he spotted Elder Kun of the Elental Heaven Peak, seated with his arms folded, expression unreadable.
Murmurs rippled through the hall.
"It’s hard to believe these children survived, let alone defeated so many enemies on their own."
"There were clearly forces moving behind the scenes."
"Serves those Fallen Heaven bastards right."
"But are we certain no forbidden techniques were used?"
The temperature in the room seed to dip.
Elder Kun’s gaze sharpened imdiately.
"Careful with your words," he said coldly.
"Are you implying that the disciple of an Elental Heaven Peak Master is so kind of evil brat?"
A snort ca from another direction.
"As if," muttered an elder from the Martial Heaven Peak.
"And do you truly believe the future genius of our peak is so reckless boy who toys with forbidden arts?"
Invisible sparks seed to crackle between the two elders, the air subtly vibrating as their auras brushed against one another.
Yu Xuan stood quietly at the center of it all, expression calm, posture relaxed.
The questioning hadn’t even begun yet, and already the hall was on the verge of turning into another battlefield.
Far away from that noise and tension, beyond the reach of scrutiny and judgnt, a completely different scene was unfolding.
Behind a slowly flowing purple river of chaotic light, Yu Lingluo stepped out.
Her expression was calm, but her eyes carried a quiet excitent.
Her short training session had just ended.
The one guiding her was an ancient powerhouse who called himself Gentle Chaos, a na that sounded harmless.
From him, she had learned several ways to use her ornants.
More importantly, she had finally learned the truth about the ornants she wore.
They were sealed Immortal-grade treasures.
And to her disbelief, they had been gifted to her casually by Ming Tiani who stole these from Gentle Chaos according to him.
"Unbelievable..." Yu Lingluo muttered, unable to believe her best friend did sothing like this.
