"Have you heard? The Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect is actually Ye Fantian."
"Ye Fantian? Who is this person?"
"My friend, you don’t know him? It’s said that he suddenly erged as a young powerhouse while exploring so ruins, possessing strength comparable to the prodigies of the three major sects. Tsk tsk, such an amazing figure, and he also holds the identity of an Alchemist. I think this brilliance completely outshines the prodigies of the three major sects."
"Is Ye Fantian really that formidable? Tell more, tell more..."
Discussions about Ye Qiu spread among various sects in Qingfeng County. Previously, there had been quite a bit of talk about Ye Fantian, and now, because of the explosive news rumored to be released by Shen Aotian, Ye Qiu was once again thrust into the spotlight.
"I will make you regret it. Now, everyone in Qingfeng County knows about you, and before long, people will co seeking trouble with you. Let’s see how you handle it then." Shen Aotian’s face revealed a cold smile. After returning to the Piaomiao Sect, he deliberately spread the rumor that Ye Qiu was the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect.
People previously knew little about Ye Qiu; they only knew the na and not the sect affiliation. Now, having Shen Aotian reveal that Ye Qiu is the leader of the declining Dan Shen Sect, those who believed he found treasures in the ruins would surely seek him out to cause trouble.
"There is no need for to act; soone will naturally co. I believe you will like this gift of mine." Shen Aotian said.
The news about Ye Fantian being the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect quickly reached the Sect Leader’s ears in the Piaomiao Sect, and Hua Wuhun was present at the ti.
"Wuhun, did you already know about this?" Seeing the change in Hua Wuhun’s expression, the Sect Leader imdiately deduced sothing.
Hearing the Sect Leader’s question, Hua Wuhun knew she couldn’t hide the fact that Ye Qiu was the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect, so she had to admit that she had long known Ye Fantian.
"Ye Fantian has shown kindness, and Wuhun cannot repay kindness with ingratitude. I believe the Sect Leader also wouldn’t like that kind of Wuhun, so I chose to remain silent." Hua Wuhun imdiately bowed, apologizing to the Sect Leader.
"Stand up; I’m not blaming you for this matter." the Piaomiao Nun said.
"Yes." Hua Wuhun then stood up.
"You should be able to tell what you know about Ye Fantian." the Piaomiao Nun said.
Hua Wuhun nodded and then recounted her acquaintance with Ye Qiu, not hiding even the Five Elents Pill he had refined for her.
After a long ti, the Piaomiao Nun finally said, "The Dan Shen Sect is truly having a stroke of luck to have such a figure appear quietly."
She realized that the fact Hua Wuhun surpassed Shen Aotian and Bai Zishu was largely due to Ye Qiu. If not for Ye Qiu’s pills significantly helping Hua Wuhun, Shen Aotian might still hold the position of the number one prodigy.
"No wonder you didn’t want to reveal him willingly; the help he provided you indeed warrants such discretion." The Piaomiao Nun nodded, "But..."
What does the Sect Leader want to say?
Hua Wuhun waited to hear what was next.
"But, from the perspective of the sect, you are unwilling to reveal even a word to your Sect Leader, you really can keep secrets tightly, girl." The Piaomiao Nun gently tapped Hua Wuhun on the forehead.
Seeing this action from the Sect Leader, Hua Wuhun knew she wouldn’t be blad.
"That Ye Fantian, he made it to the fifth floor; considering his role as an Alchemist, visiting that pavilion, he likely reached even higher, probably acquiring much concerning the art of Alchemy. Later, I will have our Piaomiao Sect’s Pill Master Chen make a trip to the Dan Shen Sect to discuss Alchemy; Wuhun, you will likely need to be present then."
"I won’t refuse the Sect Leader’s orders," Hua Wuhun said with a clasped fist.
"That’s good. Rember, you are of the Piaomiao Sect. No matter the depth of your friendship with others, the sect is where you were nurtured, and it will never harm you."
In fact, just an hour after the news about Ye Fantian being the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect spread, many people started to head to the Dan Shen Sect, hoping to et Ye Qiu.
Two servants guarding the valley saw a dozen or so people wanting to see the Sect Leader, running back and forth several tis. Initially, Ye Qiu t a few of them, but after so pleasantries and realizing they only wanted to find out about his gains from the ruins, he sent them away. Later, he refused to et anyone.
The two servants initially couldn’t stop them. So people, seeing these ordinary n daring to say no to them, acted out imdiately, nearly killing the two servants, only to have Ye Qiu counter their actions with equal force in ti.
Afterward, Ye Qiu set up a Formation in front of the valley, preventing those who wished to force their way in from entering easily.
The number of people gathering at the entrance to the Dan Shen Sect’s valley grew, all curious about Ye Fantian and eager to see him.
So people, accustod to being at the top, arrogantly demanded to see the Sect Leader.
However, the Formation barred everyone’s way; if they wished to enter the Dan Shen Sect, they had to break through the Formation first.
"Is Ye Fantian an Alchemist or an Array Master? Why do we have to break through a Formation just to see him?" So people were quite frustrated, wondering why a Formation had to be set up.
Jin Xiaoshun moved a small bench over, sitting on it, listening to many people outside fuming over the Formation.
"We just want a glimpse of Sect Leader Ye Fantian. Is this necessary?"
"Exactly, who does he think he is? We ca here as a favor to him."
"I don’t believe if soone from the three major sects cos, he will still refuse to appear."
Many people complained, and hearing this made Jin Xiaoshun quite upset. He shouted out of the valley, "Who do you think you are, demanding to see soone at will? Coming here acting high and mighty. Even if the people from the three major sects co, our Sect Leader won’t et them if he says no."
"Damn, who said that? He needs a good beating."
"Co out here, and I’ll beat you so badly your grandmother wouldn’t recognize you."
So felt insulted by Jin Xiaoshun’s words, being called out for no reason, and imdiately threatened to beat him up.
Without the barrier of the Formation, Jin Xiaoshun naturally wouldn’t dare to speak like this. After all, any of those people outside could easily overpower him.
But with the Formation in place, he could freely taunt, and those people had no way to deal with him.
Facing nurous threats from those wanting to beat him, Jin Xiaoshun only had one phrase to respond to them all.
"If you have the guts, co in. Break through the Formation. I won’t fight back and will let you beat up. Aren’t you skilled? Why don’t you co in?"
"Okay, I’m begging you to co in and beat , is that okay?"
"Sigh, life is as lonely as the snow. It’s so hard to find soone to beat up in today’s world."
Jin Xiaoshun’s tone of helplessness was practically saying, "I am just like this, and yet you still can’t hit . You’re truly useless."
Whether attempting to breach the Formation or standing outside, people positioned at the valley entrance gnashed their teeth at such arrogant remarks.
It was as if they wanted to pull out a forty-ter-long saber to end Jin Xiaoshun once and for all.
