Chapter 327 - Gathering Storm

They also had the best result in the previous Dragon Gate Competition among the four sects. Aside from Drifting Goblet, they had another disciple who received a title, Truecloud. They were the only sect in the Great Qin Empire who received two titles.

They had five people heading to the capital. The one leading the party was a bald-headed man in his forties. He wore a kasaya that emitted faint spiritual runes flickers. If one looked at the kasaya carefully, they would realise that it was a powerful cosmic artifact.

The Heavenly Profound Sect emphasized on Buddhism, and half of their disciples were monks. While they also accepted normal disciples, they also took in monks. Standing beside him were two young disciples, and one of them looked incredibly young. But despite being so young, that youth was already in the seventh stage of the Profound Martial Realm.

The youth had an ordinary appearance. He wore white clothes that made him seem ethereal. His eyes that could send shock into the souls of others made him look extraordinary. At the same time, his eyes also contained the aura of a dragon and a tiger. He was a newly emerged genius in the Heavenly Profound Sect, Bai Yu.

The Heavenly Profound Sect had the same thoughts as the Sword Firmament Pavilion. They wanted Bai Yu to broaden his horizon, and suppress other sects if possible. As for the three remaining disciples, there was one who looked ferocious and robust. He was one of the four experts in the third sequence, Wang Han.

Walking beside him was a young disciple who wore an indifferent expression that made him feel unfathomable. His name was Han Gang. He was like Xin Jue, a disciple in the second sequence, with the ability to compete with the eight titles.

“The four sects have always competed, and we can predict a dispute on the banquet. Our Heavenly Profound Sect is a Buddhism sect. Although we’re not interested in fame, we can’t embarrass the reputation that our seniors and senior brothers have built,” said WAng Han with his eyes narrowed. But due to his ferocious looks, his smile looks terrifying.

Han Gang who remained quiet throughout the journey spoke out, “That’s right. As disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, we’re naturally obliged to uphold the sect’s reputation, especially an event like the princess’ birthday. All the famous people in the sect will be gathered there, and we can’t embarrass ourselves.”

Lin Yun? Bai Yu’s eyes lit up when he heard this name. He was a genius in the Heavenly Profound Sect, with great achievements in the Dragon-Tiger Fist. He was acknowledged by the Sect Master as someone with the highest chance of bringing the Dragon-Tiger Fist to complete mastery.

Martial techniques were separated into four stages, the initial, lesser, greater, and complete masteries. But according to legend, there was another stage above that, the manifestation stage. But it was rare for anyone to reach it.

Wang Han grinned, “I heard that Lin Yun uses the Dragon-Tiger Fist. I have no idea what’s wrong with Senior Brother Drifting Goblet to give it to an outsider.”

The fact that Lin Yun practices the Dragon-Tiger Fist and was good at it had caused a shock in the Heavenly Profound Sect. The sect’s upper hierarchy was furious. After all, the Dragon-Tiger Fist belonged to their sect. But when they discovered that it was Drifting Goblet who gave it to Lin Yun, they left the matter unsettled.

Drifting Goblet was an oddball in the Heavenly Profound Sect. It was baffling that the sect didn’t pursue what he did. When the middle-aged monk and Han Gang heard Wang Han’s words, they smiled bitterly. They both knew the insider information. Although they were unhappy, there was nothing they could do. After all, it was Drifting Goblet that they were talking about.

Outside the Primal Origin Sect, there were six people riding their horses to the capital. The demonic beasts that they were riding all had black fur with spiritual eyes. It was a unique demonic beast that could only be found in the Primal Chaos Sect, the Blackscaled Horse. The Blackscaled Horse was rumored to possess a trace of bloodline from Qilin, and they were demonic beasts with a chance of reaching the Heavenly Soul Realm.

There was a youth among the six, who had defined features and powerful aura. His clothes couldn’t conceal his powerful physique, and his bulge muscles were filled with explosive power. At the same time, he was also releasing a powerful blade intent. If Lin Yun was here, he would’ve recognised this person. This youth was Zuo Yun whom he met back in the Demoncloud Mountain Range.

“Junior Brother Zuo has been in seclusion ever since he was back from the Demoncloud Mountain Range. He’s already in the seventh stage of the Profound Martial Realm. Not only did he reach the third stage with the Dracophant Battle Physique, his blade techniques are also terrifying. I bet he’ll soar like a phoenix in the banquet and let everyone know that the Sword Firmament Pavilion isn’t the only one with a monstrous genius.”

“We’re just in time to crush Lin Yun on the banquet and humiliate the Sword Firmament Pavilion.”

“The Sword Firmament Pavilion has been almighty lately and even rang their Phoenix Plum. They’re clearly trying to flex their muscles.”

Among the four sects, the Sword Firmament Pavilion and Primal Origin Sect have been at each other’s throat. Their grudges ran deep. When they mentioned Lin Yun and the Sword Firmament Pavilion, the disciples and elders of the Primal Chaos Sect were filled with enmity.

On the other hand, Zuo Yun smiled bitterly and kept his silence. Unlike his senior brothers, he had come in contact with Lin Yun. He had a good impression about Lin Yun, and he wasn’t surprised when Lin Yun became famous. But he didn’t have a choice. He couldn’t speak up for Lin Yun due to the Primal Origin Sect’s stance.

It has been a few months since they last met, and Zuo Yun was curious about Lin Yun’s growth. When he thought about Lin Yun, he was filled with anticipation for the birthday banquet. His eyes flared with a fighting spirit. Oh Lin Yun, please don’t disappoint me…

Zuo Yun took a setback in the Demoncloud Mountain Range, which drove him to cultivate like a madman.

Right at this moment, a huge boat flew above everyone else. There was a youth standing at the helm as he held onto a fan looking elegance.

The elder who was leading the Primal Origin Sect looked up, and he muttered, “It’s the Demonic Moon Villa.”

Aside from the mysterious Demonic Moon Villa, no other forces dared to travel in the sky with boats in the Great Qin Empire.

“Elder, is that person Situ Yi?”

“That’s him.”

The eyes of the Primal Origin Sect’s eyes lit up. This was a name that shook the empire like Bai Lixuan back then. They were known as Twin Stars of Great Qin. Now, one of them went into seclusion while the other rarely left the sect. So it had been a long time since anyone heard of their name in the empire. But that didn’t mean that people would look down on them.

“Siyu Yi is also participating in the birthday banquet?” Zuo Yun was shocked.

Aside from them, the various forces in the empire who were invited also began to move out. All of them were heading to the Princess Manor, and the flourishing in the Great Qin Empire also became unprecedented. No one could guess what would happen with so many geniuses gathered together.
