Chapter 39
The Arrival of the Sect Leader
“Zhou Yun, I will kill you in this life!”
Blood was dripping from the corner of Meng Fei’ang’s mouth. His eyes were full of fire as he shouted at the sky. All the birds in the East of the secret realm seemed to feel his killing intent and flew away in shock.
Zhou Yun, who had already flown far away, sneezed. He didn’t hear Meng Fei’ang’s angry roar, but he knew that Meng Fei’ang was scolding him. However, Zhou Yun didn’t care. Instead, he smiled.
“This is the price you pay for bullying Qiao’er!”
When Qiao’er saw Zhou Yun sneeze, she thought that he had caught a cold from flying too high. She quickly pulled up the small coat on her body and prepared to take it off. “Brother Zhou Yun, are you cold? You can wear my clothes!”
As Qiao’er spoke, she was about to take off her coat.
Zhou Yun’s right eye twitched when he saw Qiao’er’s jacket. Qiao’er was petite to begin with, and her jacket was not even the size of two of his palms. How could he possibly fit into it?
Moreover, he was wearing Qiao’er’s coat. If her master saw him when he left the secret realm, he might think that Zhou Yun had done something to Qiao’er. At that time, wouldn’t he be beaten to death?
Zhou Yun quickly organized his thoughts. “No need, let’s hurry out of the secret realm!”
Outside the secret realm!
Sect master Ling Qingyun and the Spirit Valley elders were waiting at the entrance. Because there was only one teleportation gate in the secret realm, the entrance and exit were all in the same place.
This group of white-haired old men waited for the crowd while discussing when they would come out.
As they chatted, they talked about the tenth layer of Qi cultivation stage.
After all, this was also their original intention for letting everyone enter the secret realm to train.
“Sect Leader, do you think that there will be someone who will break through to the tenth layer of Qi cultivation this time?”
Ling Qingyun turned around and saw an old man in a grey Taoist robe. He was Meng Fei’ang’s master.
Ling Qingyun had a slight smile on his face. He naturally knew why the Elder Zuo had asked this question.
“Elder Zuo, Fei ang has made full preparations this time. I believe that the probability of breaking through to the legendary realm is still very high!”
Elder Zuo nodded with a smile. The reason why he asked this was to show off that his disciple was about to break through the to the legendary realm.
Sure enough, after the elders heard this, they all turned to look at the left elder with undisguisable envy in their eyes.
At this moment, the Supreme elder’s voice was heard. His tone held a different opinion from the left elder ‘s.
“I think that little fellow Zhou Yun should be able to break through as well!”
“Zhou Yun? I don’t think so!”
“Sir Pill (Grand Elder), this young man has only joined the sect for a short time. He doesn’t have much experience, and he broke through too quickly. His foundation is unstable!” On the surface, Elder Zuo seemed to be analyzing, but in reality, he was belittling him.
The other elders nodded in agreement. As the most recent rising star and honorary disciple, they naturally knew him. They had also met Zhou Yun at the sect meeting three months ago.
Later on, they had also learned about Zhou Yun’s experiences. When they first learned that Zhou Yun had broken through from first layer to fifth layer of Qi cultivation, and then from fifth layer to eighth layer, in a very short period of time they were slightly shocked.
After all, they had never seen anyone who could break through continuously through cultivation. But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was not good to break through continuously. Such rapid breakthroughs could easily lead to a high realm without any strength.
Although Zhou Yun’s talent in alchemy was recognized by all of them, it was still hard to say for sure if he was talented in cultivation. The time he had accumulated was too short!
Ling Qingyun looked at the unconvinced Grand Elder and felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He quickly changed the topic. “The spiritual Qi in our cultivation world is getting less and less. There are disputes in many places. I’m afraid that our Spirit Valley will be affected by them!”
After Elder Zuo and Sir Pill heard Ling Qingyun’s words, they stopped arguing and instead frowned.
Compared to the disputes outside, whoever could break through to the tenth layer of Qi cultivation in this trial was only a small matter.
The other elders present also showed a worried expression.
“Yes, without spiritual Qi, the stages of immortal cultivators will fall. At that time, some people will go crazy!”
“I heard they’re fighting for resources again! Sigh, when will this kind of life end!”
“I’ve also heard that there are evil sects that have already started using humans as alchemy materials. How cruel!”
“Which of the things they did weren’t cruel? I’m afraid that if this continues, the other powers will also imitate the evil sects and use people to refine pills!”
“Alas, I don’t know which wicked thing cut off the road to the heaven realm. Now that there is no spiritual Qi from the heaven realm, we can’t hold on for long!”
“Shush, be careful with your words!”
Ling Qingyun also let out a soft sigh, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. “Great chaos is coming!”
At this moment, the teleportation gate flickered, and everyone looked over. Someone was about to be teleported over from the secret realm.
No one was talking about what had just happened.
A moment later, the flickering on the teleportation gate stopped, and two figures of different heights slowly appeared from the teleportation gate.
When the two figures gradually became clear, the elders were shocked. The people who came out were none other than Zhou Yun and Qiao’er.
At this moment, they were holding hands and happily chatting away. Qiao’er was even jumping around. Those who didn’t know the situation would think that the two of them were on an outing and not exploring a secret realm.
“Good day sect leader, good day elders!” The two greeted the people in front of them.
The elders present were stunned at this time. The left elder asked with a frown. “Why are you two here?”
Before Zhou Yun could reply, the portal flashed again. A moment later, Meng Fei’ang walked out with disheveled hair and the other inner sect disciples.
“Zhou Yun, I’m going to kill you!” As soon as Meng Fei’ang and the others came out, they didn’t bow and rushed straight to Zhou Yun, as if they didn’t see the elders and the sect leader.
The elders present were stunned when they saw this.
What was going on?
Did Zhou Yun stir up a hornet’s nest again?
How did he offend these people?
When Zhou Yun and Qiao’er saw Meng Fei’ang and the others charging over, they laughed as they ran. “Oh, isn’t this Big Senior Brother? How come you’ve become so miserable?”
Zhou Yun’s words had infuriated all the inner sect disciples present. They had gone through so much trouble and used all their offensive magical items to obtain the spirit cleansing liquid, but this guy had just taken it away so easily. Now, he even dared to tease them. All the inner sect disciples immediately took out their own magical items and prepared to attack Zhou Yun.
“Stop!”
A voice reached the ears of all the inner sect disciples. When they saw that it was the sect leader, they quickly calmed down, put away their magical items, and stopped fighting.
