As he stepped forward, the road leading out of the academy, which had few people in the early morning, began to resonate with whispers. Everyone recognized the Middle Profound Realm individual summoned by Elder Kui.
Elder Kui’s senior disciple, Ji Dong.
Ji Dong had recently broken through to the Upper Profound Realm. Although not renowned, being in the Upper Profound Realm ant that no number of Middle Profound Realm opponents could match him.
With such power, he could soon beco a teacher among the academy’s students.
"Elder Kui is truly angry."
"Of course, when his own disciple, a relative, is severely injured in the academy, it’s indirectly a slap to Elder Kui’s face, isn’t it?"
"But calling a..."
The speaker intended to say that calling soone from the Upper Profound Realm was bullying, but upon inadvertently eting Ji Dong’s cold gaze, he hurriedly shut his mouth.
Lin Kewu and Wanyan’s expressions changed as they sensed Ji Dong’s realm.
Wanyan hurriedly spoke, "Teacher, a few days ago, it was Senior Brother Akun who requested to enter the arena, not Lin Kewu’s fault. You calling Senior Brother Ji Dong, is this not sowhat..."
"Sowhat what?" Elder Kui directly interrupted Wanyan and cast a cold glance at her, "Are you well-versed with the cultivation technique I gave you? Now you’re still indulging in romance, lacking ambition, planning to re-cultivate for a decade to reach the thirteenth realm again?"
Two questions left Wanyan stunned.
She was at a loss for words.
In truth, there were plenty of retorts swirling in her mind, but she couldn’t express them.
The more she spoke, the worse the situation would beco!
But, though she remained silent, Lin Kewu spoke, "Wanyan, leave Qi Bing Academy with . I have a way for you to ascend to the Divine Profound Realm without re-cultivating."
The Immortal Sect has the Nirvana House.
Re-cultivating has never been a problem.
However, at this mont, Wanyan remained silent because her full attention was on Elder Kui.
"Nonsense. So young and already speaking nonsense. If such a thod existed, who would still fret over ascending to the Divine Profound Realm?" Elder Kui flicked his long sleeve and stepped backward, "Wanyan, return to your cultivation room and re-cultivate... Ji Dong, avenge your junior brother."
"Teacher!"
Wanyan abruptly stepped forward, blocking Ji Dong’s path.
"Block again, and I’ll expel you from the sect." Elder Kui growled at Wanyan, suddenly feeling it was not worthwhile for Akun and Linsan. The opportunity to enter the Inner Courtyard was sothing they had begged of him.
After Linsan and the others were hurt, Wanyan not only ignored it.
But now she was protecting the one who injured them.
Hearing this, Wanyan’s heart sank, yet when she glanced at Lin Kewu, her resolve hardened, "Teacher, if you want to punish Kewu, let Senior Brother Ji Dong step over first."
Everything Lin Kewu did was to prove himself to her.
No matter what, she wouldn’t let anything happen to Lin Kewu.
Seeing his junior sister speak so firmly, Ji Dong turned to look at Elder Kui.
His little junior sister was blocking him, should he act or not?
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Elder Kui’s brow furrowed as he said "good" three tis in a row.
As his words fell, Elder Kui raised his hand and gathered Qi to the corner of his robe.
Cutting ties!
From now on, there would be no connection!
"As you wish, I won’t indulge you!" Elder Kui coldly flicked his sleeve, and Ji Dong moved.
But just as Ji Dong was preparing to push Wanyan aside, Lin Kewu stepped forward, "Wanyan, be careful."
With one hand, Lin Kewu t the hand aiming to push Wanyan aside, and with the other, he wrapped around Wanyan and flung her backward. He pulled Wanyan back, but faced Ji Dong himself.
"Humph!"
Ji Dong snorted coldly and punched out.
Lin Kewu quickly raised his wrist to defend himself, yet the next mont, his entire arm went numb, and he felt as if he’d been slashed by the "Knife-Wielding Man" in the Fierce Beast Trial Ground.
He staggered back over a dozen steps before steadying himself.
...
Inn.
After a sleepless night, Wen Ping prepared to go to the Hundred Sects Alliance early in the morning.
Calculating carefully, the letter should have arrived.
Wen Ping asked frequently about his father’s whereabouts in the past few days, but Lan Peng kept saying he didn’t know.
Back then, his father was taken away by others, and Uncle Lan’s only knowledge was that those who took his mother handed his father to Iron Mountain Pavilion, and supposedly his father was still at Xuanse Lake.
As he headed to the Hundred Sects Alliance, Yang Xi sitting in the beast vehicle asked, "Sect Leader, where are we headed tomorrow?"
"Not necessarily leaving tomorrow." Wen Ping replied.
"Staying a few more days, can I take Junior Brother Luo Mi to participate in the selection contest?" These past few days, seeing the prodigies’ tournants and the scenes of being admired by the masses was truly enviable.
She recalled how Yang Lele followed the Sect Leader and overwheld various prodigies in East Lake.
Such majesty!
She wanted that too.
Cang Lan from Sea of Clouds also awaited Wen Ping’s nod, eager to see Yang Xi and the others’ strength. Because Yang Xi seed to dismiss all Body Refinent Realm geniuses.
An Anomalous ridian Body Refining Realm individual erged, and Iron Mountain Pavilion tried everything to recruit him, offering benefits just short of designating him as the Sect Leader’s direct disciple, yet Yang Xi and Luo Mi discussed defeating him in a few moves.
It sounded unbelievable.
However, what awaited was Wen Ping’s shake of the head, "It may not be tomorrow; it might be today. Besides, why waste ti on battles with no significance."
"Sect Leader..." Yang Xi’s voice suddenly softened.
Wen Ping made a decisive cold response, "Trying this approach, and I’ll ban you from Thousand Layers for a month upon returning to the sect."
"No!" Yang Xi cried out and quickly stopped her coquettish act.
"Sect Leader, I haven’t said anything." Luo Mi covered his mouth, not daring to speak further.
Seeing this, Cang Lan from Sea of Clouds smiled helplessly and leaned out to look, noticing the beast vehicle just outside the Hundred Sects Alliance.
However, when Wen Ping went to collect the letter, it had yet to arrive. But upon visiting H Lan’s ho, H Lan greeted him warmly, with a noticeably different expression.
Wen Ping could guess either Master Zi Ran had replied or H Lan tried the thod of identifying magic stones he ntioned.
"Sect Leader Wen, my master has written." Once seated in the hall, H Lan handed over a paper, "My master hopes Sect Leader Wen will visit Sea Dragon Mountain; she will be waiting for you!"
"Thank you."
Wen Ping was delighted, carefully storing the letter in his Storage Ring.
H Lan chuckled and continued, "Sect Leader Wen is too kind, by the way, may I ask where your sect is located?" The technique of crafting Wind Attribute Vortex Map, even in his dreams, he longed to learn.
Even just a trickle of knowledge!
"East Lake."
Wen Ping smiled as he uttered those two words.
Not only H Lan, but Cang Lan from Sea of Clouds also silently rembered these two words—though seemingly unaware this East Lake was the desolate place with only a Two-star Sect.
After so brief pleasantries, Wen Ping lost all interest in staying any longer in Mountain and Sea City. Biyue Piaoling’s letter could be collected by Cang Lan from Sea of Clouds; he didn’t need to continue waiting here.
"Let’s go, call Lin Kewu, prepare to depart." Wen Ping boarded the beast vehicle with Yang Xi and Luo Mi.
Cang Lan from Sea of Clouds remained in Mountain and Sea City.
