Chapter 718 - Tension
Under Wan Tianming"s control, the White Jade Flying Boat that Li Mu and the others were riding directly landed at the entrance of the Xueling Sect.
The entrance to the Xueling Sect was different from the Jinxiafeng"s gate. Most of the"s entire sect was built on top of one of the Jinxiafeng"s mountain, and because there were still more than three hundred mountains densely packed under the main peak of the Xueling Sect, it was impossible to build the entrance directly at the foot of the Xueling Peak.Because the date for the compet.i.tion had not yet arrived, there were not many people entering and exiting the Xueling Sect. But even so, the Xueling Sect still sent many disciples to guard the mountain gate. There were more than twenty disciples guarding the mountain gate, among them were both men and women, all of whom had reached the sacred art realm.
"Junior sister Xu, I didn"t expect to meet you again. When did you leave the sect?" I"ve been standing here for the past few days, but why haven"t I seen you go out and bring so many friends! "There were a total of thirteen people in Li Mu"s group, adding to Xu Ruqing"s group, there were fourteen people. Amongst the pa.s.sersby in and out of the Xueling Sect, they could be considered a group of no small size, thus, they very quickly attracted the attention of the disciples guarding the mountain gate. Seven or eight people directly walked over, and the person leading them was a tall and short haired young man.
"Do you want me to report when I go out?" My master doesn"t care about me, but you, Yi Xiang, still want to care about me? Hurry and get out of the way, these are the friends of the Gold Jade Sect, they are here to pay their respects to the Sect Leader! "
Towards the short-haired man"s question, Xu Ruqing didn"t mind at all, there was still deep disgust in her eyes. She subconsciously grabbed onto Li Mu"s hand, looking like she was very familiar with this man called Yi Xiang, but their relationship wasn"t very good.
Since you are your friend, Ru Qing, then I will trouble you to lead me directly to see the sect master. I am still very busy here, so I won"t personally send you off. "
Yi Xiang did not react when Xu Ruqing said that, but when he saw Xu Ruqing grabbing onto Li Mu"s hand, her expression immediately changed. He did not hide anything as she glared at Li Mu, and then said something that was neither cold nor hot."Tch!" I"ll go, I"ll go, originally I didn"t plan to let you lead the way, Mu Mu, Senior Chi Yun, let"s go!
Xu Ruqing"s temper was as fiery as ever. Seeing that Yi Xiang was not willing to bring Li Mu and the others to meet Yi Ruochen, she did not plan to beg him, so after giving a disdainful snort to Yi Xiang, she brought Li Mu and the others to directly walk into the entrance of Xueling Sect.
"Wow, sister-in-law, you disciples of the Xueling Sect are so arrogant. You even have such a prideful disciple. I think he only has a cultivation of the sacred art realm, how can he be so rude to us?"Under Xu Ruqing"s lead, she entered the Xueling Sect"s mountain gate and suddenly asked with a strange expression.
Xu Ruqing rolled her eyes at Wu w.a.n.g, then explained: "You"re wrong, the first thing I"m not a part of the Xueling Sect, but because I"ve taken the Xueling Sect as my master, elder Yao Shanshan, as my master, so we have a master-disciple relationship, at most half of the Disciple of the Snow Spirit Sect. Furthermore, not every Disciple of the Snow Spirit Sect is like that Yi Xiang, who is the nephew of the Xueling Sect"s Sect Leader, Yi Ruochen, and is not a good person!""AHH!" That guy was Yi Ruochen"s nephew? "That"s impossible. With the Sect Master"s support, how can he watch over the mountain gate?"
Not only did Xu Ruqing"s words give Wu w.a.n.g a shock, even Li Mu and the others revealed suspicious looks.
"This... Because he made a mistake, he was punished by Yi Ruochen to guard the sect for a month. Don"t ask anymore, that fellow is not a good person! "
Wu w.a.n.g was a nimble person, seeing Xu Ruqing"s appearance, he knew that something must have happened between Xu Ruqing and Yi Xiang. In front of Li Mu, he immediately shut his mouth and did not bring up this matter anymore.
After entering the Xueling Sect, Li Mu and the others quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain under Xu Ruqing"s lead. Although the Xueling Peak was not as big as the Jinxiafeng, it was not considered small.
"Qing`er, is there something you are hiding from me?" What happened to that Yi Xiang? "Don"t tell me that you guys aren"t familiar with each other. I"ve seen every single move of that guy"s. It seems that he has quite the enmity towards me."Walking on the jade stairs that led to the top of Xueling Peak, Li Mu quietly told Xu Ruqing who was beside him when he had nothing better to do. Li Mu was not stupid, he was the same as Wu w.a.n.g, and guessed that something bad must have happened between Xu Ruqing and Yi Xiang.
I thought you wouldn"t ask, but actually, there"s nothing to ask. That Yi Xiang, with Yi Ruochen as his backer, has been bothering me ever since I came to Xueling Sect. He couldn"t help it, who told me to be born beautiful like a flower?
Yi Xiang is too annoying. I already told him that I already have a couple, and he kept pestering me, so no matter where I went, he would follow me. He would look at me with a perverted look, and I couldn"t stand it any longer.
Xu Ruqing mischievously sent a sound transmission to Li Mu to explain her situation. From the meaning of her words, it seemed that Yi Xiang had been tricked by her instead of fighting her.
"Yo, why didn"t I see that you, Qing"er, still had the ability to be a pervert, and even made Yi Ruochen punish his own nephew to watch over the entrance. Do you have any interest in telling me about it?" Li Mu asked with a smile on his face.
"Mm …" "As long as you know the gist of it, there"s no need for you to know the process. Otherwise, you might say that I"m a sinister villain."This time, Xu Ruqing did not satisfy Li Mu"s curiosity, she smiled at him, and then did not speak anymore. Seeing that, Li Mu could only helplessly smile and not ask any further.
After half an incense worth of time, Li Mu and the rest finally arrived at a group of buildings on the mountainside of Xueling Peak.
It was a plaza made of yellow jade, and on the plaza, there were many palace buildings, but Li Mu and the rest were standing in front of the most imposing palace, the palace was called Snow Spirit Palace, the entrance to the palace was extremely tightly guarded, according to Xu Ruqing"s explanation, Xueling Sect Sect Master Yi Ruochen would normally stay in the Snow Spirit Palace, it was a palace used to receive esteemed guests, it was the same kind of palace as the Gold Jade Sect"s Great a.s.sembly Hall.
Without waiting for Li Mu and the rest to come close to the Snow Spirit Palace, the three light beams flew from a pavilion not far away and landed in front of Li Mu and the rest, blocking their path. The three of them were all of Tongxuan realm cultivation, led by a beautiful middle-aged woman, and Li Mu recognized the young woman, she was none other than Yao Shanshan."Swish!" Long time no see, heh heh. "
Upon seeing Yao Shanshan, Chi Yun immediately tidied up his clothes in high spirits, and then walked up with a smile.
"Greetings, senior!"Because Li Mu had a deep relationship with his, the moment they met, Li Mu gave her a respectful junior"s salute.
So it"s actually you, Li Mu. I heard from Qing"er that you would be coming to the My Snow Spirit Sect in the next few days, I didn"t expect that you would be on time, seems like you don"t want to wait any longer. "Based on her cultivation, she could naturally tell that Li Mu was already a cultivator of the early stage of Tongxuan. Back then, she had relied on Li Mu"s laugh that was extremely low in the sky, and was therefore able to escape this calamity, so her att.i.tude towards Li Mu was extremely friendly. However, towards Chi Yun who was greeting him with a smile, Yao Shanshan"s expression did not change at all.
"Hehe, I never thought that Senior already knew that this junior would come and bother you, speaking of this junior, I would have to thank Senior for your recommendation all those years ago. If it wasn"t for Senior introducing a disciple as a disciple, I, Li Mu, wouldn"t be here today."
Li Mu smiled at Yao Shanshan, and purposely shifted the topic of conversation towards Chi Yun. On the way here, Li Mu had heard from Chi Yun about the grudge between him and Yao Shanshan, and knew that so many years had pa.s.sed, yet Yao Shanshan was still unwilling to part with him.
"You being able to have your current cultivation is all because of your own hard work. Although I have been staying in the Xueling Sect all year round, I have heard quite a lot about you.Yao Shanshan said with a sneer, but she still maintained an ice-cold expression towards Chi Yun.
"Hahaha, Clan Elder, for private matters, can we let go of them for now? Actually, there are two main matters that brought us here this time, the first is naturally for your disciple Leng Qingcheng"s Groom Compet.i.tion, the moment my disciples heard that your disciple was going to have a Groom Search Compet.i.tion, they all came here to broaden their horizons."
"There is another matter that we wish to discuss with your sect"s sect master, Yi Ruochen. Would he be free right now?"Ruan Qinghong seemed to understand the grudge between Chi Yun and the other person a little better. Seeing how cold the two of them were, she immediately tried to smooth things over.
However, if you guys wish to see my Sect Leader, I think it would be better if you guys don"t have to worry about it for now. To be honest, Dahua Sect and the people from Hades are currently discussing important matters in the Snow Spirit Palace.Yao Shanshan was rather polite to Ruan Qinghong, after hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth to advise her.
"What!?" The people of the Hades and the Dahua Sect? So they came? Faster than us! Dahua Sect has always had a deep grudge with you Xueling Sect, and you actually have the gall to come here.The moment Wan Tianming heard that Dahua Sect and his people were here, his expression immediately changed. With his knowledge and experience, he was naturally able to guess the purpose of Dahua Sect and his son coming here.
Right, we are also well-informed. The Dahua Sect and the Hades must be trying to advise our sect master to not interact with your Gold Jade Sect, and right now, the water in the cultivation world has already been muddled. In the entire northern part of the continent, only the My Snow Spirit Sect, the Yunhai Temple and the three great sects are able to stay out of this mess.
Speaking of proper affairs, Yao Shanshan had a solemn face. She explained the current situation of the Xueling Sect to Chi Yun and the others once, and her words were similar to what Xu Ruqing had said to Li Mu not long ago.
"No!" I still want to see Yi Ruochen. If I let the people from Hades and the people from Dahua Sect listen in on him, my Gold Jade Sect would not even have a chance to turn the situation around.
After hearing Yao Shanshan"s words, Chi Yun"s face also became serious. This concerned the life and death of the Gold Jade Sect, so he put down his personal grudge with Yao Shanshan and spoke with a cautious expression."I"m sorry, I can"t introduce you guys. To be honest, Sect Master already guessed that you guys would arrive today, which was why he told me to stop you guys. Although I really wanted to ally with your Gold Jade Sect, but I had no choice but to obey Sect Master"s orders!"
Seeing that Chi Yun was serious, Yao Shanshan stopped using his personal feelings to deal with him, and said it seriously.
"Spirit Demon Elder, what if we must meet? I, Wan Tianming, am a crude person, we have the orders of our sect master on us and it is uncontrollable, so I hope you can understand! "
Wan Tianming saw that Yao Shanshan"s att.i.tude was extremely unyielding, and spoke with an unfriendly tone. As he spoke, a burst of zhen yuan qi that was not weak suddenly spread out, attracting the nearby disciples of the Snow Spirit Palace, who were guarding the Snow Spirit Palace, to come over.
