Chapter 1114: Chapter 994: Sudden Crisis Appears!
Two months’ ti, neither long nor short, has passed by without notice.
There are only five days left until the elite disciple tournant. The Xuanwu Sect Inner Sect elite disciples are returning in droves, whether they were out gaining experience or on missions, most have returned to the sect.
The massive return of elite disciples has made the area where the Xuanwu Sect’s elite disciples are located beco lively. Many elite disciples are moving around every day, either discussing cultivation insights with close brothers or exchanging unused spiritual dicine and materials for artifact refining and alchemy.
But among the core disciples, Tong Qianchen is restless. There are only five days until the elite disciple tournant, yet there’s no news of Ye Fan.
In recent days, she’s been going to the Xuanwu Summit where the Great Elder resides almost every few days, hoping to see Ye Fan safely return.
As long as he can return safely, it doesn’t matter whether he can participate in the elite disciple tournant.
On this day, Tong Qianchen appeared on the Xuanwu Summit again.
Although the Xuanwu Summit, where the Great Elder is in seclusion, isn’t a place prohibiting idle people, many disciples in the sect know the temperant of Great Elder Wu Xinhai and prefer not to co here without reason.
Therefore, the Xuanwu Summit is very serene, devoid of much worldly clamor, and filled with a sense of natural tranquility and harmony.
“Uncle Wu, has Brother Ye not co back yet?” In front of the quaint little house, Tong Qianchen asked the elder Wu Xinhai, who was sitting inside.
Wu Xinhai and her father Tong Tianhao are actually like senior and junior brothers, only Wu Xinhai is much older, so calling him Uncle Wu isn’t wrong.
“Hmm.”
Wu Xinhai nodded, his face full of worry. He has never taken a disciple in his life, always solitary, a lone soul without even a wife.
He thought he would die lonely, never expecting to find a promising cultivation talent like Ye Fan in his later years.
Wu Xinhai has devoted almost all of his heart and soul to Ye Fan. On the surface, he is very strict with Ye Fan, but that’s in the hope that Ye Fan can make remarkable progress.
Because he believes Ye Fan has already missed the best ti for cultivation, to catch up he must endure what others cannot in order to achieve success.
Ye Fan’s performance has always pleased Wu Xinhai greatly—such an apprentice who brings honor to the master, Wu Xinhai treasures imnsely!
In recent days, he too has been worried, checking the Lamp Hall almost daily to see if Ye Fan’s soul lamp is still normal.
He knows Ye Fan’s unyielding temperant; given the chance, Ye Fan would definitely delve deep into the Xuanshou Mountain Range, hunting stronger Xuan Beasts to gain contribution value more quickly and qualify for the elite disciple tournant.
“Uncle Wu, do you think Brother Ye might have encountered so trouble? That’s why he hasn’t been able to return in ti?”
Sitting across from Wu Xinhai, Tong Qianchen asked with a worried face. She’s not really expecting anything from Wu Xinhai, just seeking so psychological comfort.
Wu Xinhai naturally understood her thoughts, smiled lightly, and said, “Don’t worry, for now, your Brother Ye is safe. I just ca from the Lamp Hall, and his soul lamp is still lit, which ans he’s at least still alive. As long as he’s alive, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“I hope Brother Ye returns soon. If he encounters invincible Xuan Beasts or disciples from the Tianyuan Sect, he might be in danger.” Tong Qianchen silently prayed for Ye Fan’s swift return.
Having heard Tong Qianchen’s words, Wu Xinhai was also slightly worried—if Ye Fan encountered strong people from the Tianyuan Sect, there might indeed be danger.
“Should I go look for him? So this kid doesn’t actually get taken by people from the Tianyuan Sect!”
Wu Xinhai mused silently. This is the only good disciple he’s had in his life; he can’t let anyone take him, not even the Tianyuan Sect.
“Girl, don’t worry, go back and wait in peace. Your Brother Ye will surely have blessings in disguise. If necessary, I will personally go find him.”
Wu Xinhai started to hint at her to leave, and Tong Qianchen, not wanting to disturb Wu Xinhai’s cultivation further, took her leave.
On the way back, Tong Qianchen glanced unintentionally at Xuanling Summit, where the elite disciples are. All elite disciples cultivate on Xuanling Summit.
The elite disciple tournant is also held on Xuanling Summit, where a small arena for the finals is currently being built, with several elders engraving a defensive formation.
As the main peak, Xuanling Summit covers an extrely vast area, much of which is rarely visited by people.
In a secluded and usually deserted corner, Wei Jun was diligently practicing a powerful martial art technique. With a single strike, the air was set ablaze, emitting a singed sll.
“Clap, clap…”
Applause ca from behind a boulder, and Chu Feng stepped out leisurely, looking at Wei Jun, who was practicing martial arts, with a face full of smiles, and said, “Junior Brother Wei is indeed remarkably gifted and has high comprehension! To have cultivated Fiery Fla Slash to such an extent in less than two months, I’m truly happy for you as your senior brother!”
“Where, where, compared to Brother Chu, I am just a small figure in the big picture. Brother Chu’s talent and comprehension are second to none in our Xuanwu Sect; the position of Sect Leader in the future will surely belong to Brother Chu. When that ti cos, don’t forget to lend your junior brother a hand!”
Although Wei Jun’s strength isn’t much to speak of, his skill in reading people’s expressions is indeed top-notch. He knows exactly what to say, and his flattering words were loud and clear, which made Chu Feng exceptionally comfortable.
After the two praised each other for a while, Wei Jun said, “Brother Chu, that brat who knows neither heaven nor earth hasn’t returned yet; he might already be dead. We just don’t know whether he died under the sharp claws of the Xuan Beasts or at the hands of the Tianyuan Sect disciples.”
“Who he died to isn’t important; what’s important is that he’s dead. Unfortunately, I don’t have the privilege to go to the Lamp Hall to verify, otherwise I would go and see for myself if his soul lamp is extinguished or not!”
Chu Feng shook his head and sighed. Although he is a Core Disciple, he does not yet have the privilege to freely visit the Lamp Hall. Even Tong Qianchen, the daughter of the Sect Leader, needs Elder Wu Xinhai to accompany her in order to enter; otherwise, she couldn’t get in either.
“You’ve done excellently in this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, the first place in this Elite Disciple competition is definitely yours. Besides, with your current combat power, you’re already fully capable of defeating He Yuntian. Then you can beco a Core Disciple like .”
Chu Feng patted Wei Jun’s shoulder, feeling very satisfied with the performance of this loyal hound.
However, he also felt a bit uneasy in his heart because the Elder guarding the Lamp Hall had not yet announced that any soul lamps were extinguished. No soul lamp being extinguished ans no one has died.
“I owe this entirely to Brother Chu for bestowing with martial arts. Without it, I wouldn’t have attained my current combat power. Brother Chu’s great kindness is sothing Wei Jun could never repay, even if broken bones await!”
Wei Jun is very aware that the He Yuntian ntioned by Chu Feng is indeed the weakest among the Core Disciples. Being the weakest, nonetheless, he is still a Core Disciple.
With this Fiery Fla Slash, Wei Jun could effortlessly secure first place while simultaneously defeating He Yuntian, replacing him as a Core Disciple!
Thinking about the benefits of being a Core Disciple, Wei Jun couldn’t hold back the fire in his heart. It’s not just about elevated status; he’ll also have more Cultivation Resources and surely cultivate faster than he can now.
“That’s the reward you deserve. Stick with in the future and help with my tasks; I won’t treat you unfairly.” Finishing his words, Chu Feng turned and left, leaving Wei Jun to continue his martial arts cultivation.
Watching Chu Feng’s disappearing figure, a vicious smile erged on Wei Jun’s face. He’s only limited by his current power; once he becos stronger in ability, will he continue working for Chu Feng?
Everyone has their own hidden motives. Chu Feng is like this, so why wouldn’t Wei Jun be?
…
anwhile, a group of people arrived in the Xuanshou Mountain Range.
The leader was impressively an elder from the Tianyuan Sect, dressed in a dark blue robe with a palm-sized golden leaf stitched on the left chest—a symbol of the Tianyuan Sect.
However, only strong individuals at the elder level have the privilege to wear golden leaves on their chest; other disciples rely have leaves of green, red, blue, or purple.
This elder brought dozens of disciples dressed in white, each bearing blue leaves on their chests, indicating they are Elite Disciples of the Tianyuan Sect.
“Elder, there was once a great battle here, and it carries the aura of Brother Gu Yun!” one of the Elite Disciples reported to the elder.
“Search carefully; there must be no oversight!” The elder commanded with a stern face.
The Tianyuan Sect and Xuanwu Sect have been fighting for so many years, gaining a deep understanding of each other’s artifacts; the Xuanwu Sect has a Lamp Hall, and naturally, so does the Tianyuan Sect.
Any disciple who ventures outside leaves a soul lamp in the Lamp Hall, to ensure the Sect is inford in case of accidents.
This is rely a spell; soul lamps are low-level Magic Artifacts capable of collecting and preserving a wisp of a cultivator’s soul. There is a mysterious connection between the lamp and the body; if the body perishes, the soul lamp imdiately extinguishes.
Gu Yun and three others were killed by Ye Fan, and the Tianyuan Sect found out quickly. Although they didn’t know who did it, they guessed that the Xuanwu Sect surely had a hand in it.
Thus, they sent an elder accompanied by dozens of Elite Disciples to investigate.
As they searched, Ye Fan arrived nearby. Though not yet aware of anyone ahead, Elder Xuan sensed it and warned, “Kid, there are people ahead—strong individuals in the Holy Embryo Realm. Quickly hide the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, then imdiately enter the Virtual Space to evade!”
What?!
Ye Fan was startled. He quickly concealed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown in a lush grove, then stepped into the virtual space within the crown.
At the sa ti, the elder from Tianyuan Sect led several Elite Disciples toward Ye Fan’s hiding place for a thorough search…
