Chapter 32 The Shock of the Shang Yun Sect

When the nearby sects saw a new sect being established, they would send messengers to the sect. On the surface, it was to congratulate them, but in reality, it was to investigate the actual situation and assess the strength of the sect.

After all, the resources were limited. If someone suddenly appeared to take a share, it would definitely affect their own interests.

It was said that one would pick the soft persimmons to pinch. If the sect was strong, one would be on good terms with them. On the other hand, if the sect was weak, the resources given would be reduced, and they might even be pushed aside and suppressed.

That was why Han Yue placed so much importance on the construction of the great mountain protection array. After all, it was the sect’s reputation.

Qixia mountain range.

A group of people was walking. They were all wearing white robes with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on their sleeves and chests.

The leading old man had a cloud pattern on his chest. Not only was it made of golden thread, but there were five of them. It was clear that he had a high status.

The aura coming from his body was even more oppressive. He was Heaven Realm Rank 2. He was the third elder of the Shang Yun Sect, Yun Tianyi. He led a few other disciples to give the Tai Qing Sect a show of strength. To be more precise, they wanted to issue a challenge.

“In my opinion, the sect master is too cautious. It’s just a letter of challenge. Why did he send so many of us?”

“You can’t say that. I heard that the sect master of the Tai Qing Sect is extremely powerful. She’s also a beautiful woman.”

“So what if she’s powerful? She’s just a flower vase. I heard that the Tai Qing Sect doesn’t look at talent when selecting disciples, only spirit stones. I’m dying of laughter. Isn’t this child’s play?”

“I think the strength of the Tai Qing Sect is just so so. Maybe even the great mountain protection array is like paper.”

The disciples of the Shang Yun Sect were all discussing this matter. Their words were filled with contempt and disdain.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Tai Qing Sect.

“The third elder of the Shang Yun Sect has come to visit.”

There weren’t any other disciples at the main entrance, and the Shang Yun Sect disciples couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s the matter with the people of the Tai Qing Sect? They don’t even have a disciple to guard the gate. If there is an invasion, wouldn’t they be able to come in openly?”.

When they saw that there were no traces of any array in the surroundings, the disdain in their hearts reached a peak.

“They haven’t even set up the great mountain protection array. What a joke.”

“But it’s normal if you think about it. After all, they were established not long ago. They don’t have the manpower and strength to build a decent array.”

The people from Shang Yun Sect didn’t even wait for the announcement to be made before they entered. It was extremely impolite to do so, not to mention that they were in the territory of another sect. This meant that they didn’t care about the Tai Qing Sect at all.

However, just as they were about to step in.

A light blue light suddenly lit up, and a cold chill invaded.

Even Yun Tianyi was intimidated by the aura. Every pore on his body was screaming danger as if he was being stared at by some unknown existence.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled the disciple back. “Be careful!”

A sharp icicle brushed past him and fell to the ground.

Looking at the light blue light shield in front of them, almost the entire Tai Qing Sect was covered in it. The sun was shining brightly at this moment, but the people of Shang Yun Sect felt as if they were in the middle of winter.

The disciple looked at the icicle under his feet. It was only half a step away from landing on him, and his back was covered in a cold sweat.

The light shield was cold, and the powerful energy fluctuation was like an invisible slap on the faces of the people from the Shang Yun Sect.

Even Yun Tianyi was quite afraid. He said in disbelief, “This is actually the mountain protection array of the Tai Qing Sect.”

No wonder there was no one at the entrance of the Tai Qing Sect, and there was no need to worry about outsiders barging in. With this array alone, if one’s strength was not strong enough, they would suffer even if their reaction was half a beat slower.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a light blue crystal on the array leg, and he finally knew why it had such great power. It was just the array leg, but there were already several pieces of Crystal Ice Chalcedony.

The others followed Yun Tianyi’s gaze and gasped, “I-I’m not seeing things, am I? This is Crystal Ice Chalcedony.”

No wonder this array was so powerful! The Crystal Ice Chalcedony, which was extremely rare, was priceless. As an array material, it could display its greatest effect. Who wouldn’t want it at the array core?

This was the first time they had seen someone place it on the array leg! And it was more than one. It was too extravagant and wasteful!

The fluctuations of the array attracted the attention of the Tai Qing Sect, and soon someone came out to welcome them.

“We are the messengers of the Shang Yun Sect.”

Yun Tianyi’s attitude was no longer the same as before. He sized up the disciple in front of him without making a sound.

In their original plan, they should have come to the Tai Qing Sect arrogantly to issue a challenge, but after what had just happened, he was uncertain and did not dare to act rashly.

He still planned to probe the situation before making a decision.

Coincidentally, the one receiving them was Li Yu. He courteously welcomed Yun Tianyi and the others inside.

“Your sect is so generous to use the Crystal Ice Chalcedony on the array leg,” Yun Tianyi probed without changing his expression.

“This is nothing,” Li Yu couldn’t help but say. He seemed to have thought of something, but he hesitated.

Listening to his accustomed tone, the messengers from Shang Yun Sect couldn’t help but be surprised. Tai Qing Sect was actually so arrogant that any random disciple had such an expression and attitude.

If they knew what Li Yu had gone through, it would not be difficult to understand.

Soon, they stepped onto the steps. One of the disciples lowered his head and instantly realized that something was wrong. He stuttered, “Third Elder, look at these steps.”

Yun Tianyi was deep in thought when he was interrupted by someone. He was instantly displeased. “What’s there to see about the stairs?”

His eyes followed the flow of the conversation even though he said that. In an instant, his eyes widened so much that they almost fell out.
