Chapter 425 - Beginning

Liu Wuxie knew Shao Wenliang's actions had infuriated Elder Tian Xing. Given Elder Tian Xing's status, it wasn't an issue for him to punish Shao Wenliang, but that wasn't what Liu Wuxie wanted.

He wanted to defeat Shao Wenliang with his effort and avenge his suffering.

"Good. I'm relieved you can think this way. It's best to consult me if anything happens in the future. You were too reckless today. Do you know many higher-ups have been unhappy with you recently?" The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was complicated because many disciples had some form of connection with the higher-ups.

Liu Wuxie had killed and crippled many people in just half a year. Among these people, many had some form of connection with the higher-ups. Thus, killing and crippling them was no different from slapping the higher-ups' faces.

Elder Tian Xing might be the head of the Law-Enforcement Hall, but he couldn't bend the rules for personal gain. He would invite criticism if he showed too much favor to Liu Wuxie.

"I understand. I'm grateful for how you've been taking care of me!" Liu Wuxie bowed. He could feel the care and concern Elder Tian Xing gave him.

If another elder had come to the Mission Hall, things might have turned out differently, and he would have been severely punished even if he had come out unscathed.

Elder Tian Xing might have helped those people by asking him to let them go, but he was trying to protect Liu Wuxie.

"Junior Brother!"

"Junior Brother Liu!"

"Junior Brother!" Three people entered the courtyard and interrupted Liu Wuxie and Elder Tian Xing. They were Jian Xing'er, Bai Lin, and Tang Tian.

"You guys have fun catching up!" Elder Tian Xing patted Liu Wuxie's shoulder and gave him a meaningful look before leaving.

Liu Wuxie smiled bitterly because he knew what Elder Tian Xing meant. A perceptive person can discern another's thoughts with just a glance.

On one side was Jian Xing'er, and on the other was Chen Ruoyan in the courtyard. Ordinary people might not notice, but Elder Tian Xing could easily see Chen Ruoyan's feelings for Liu Wuxie.

Now, Liu Wuxie had to contend with Jian Xing'er as well.

When she came in, tears began rolling down her cheeks, but she cried silently without making a sound.

"Junior brother, it's good to see you again!" Bai Lin and Tang Tian came forward to give Liu Wuxie a tight hug.

Fan Zhen and others emerged from the rooms. They had left earlier to give Liu Wuxie space to talk with Elder Tian Xing, but their nerves were tense, and they couldn't rest. They still had a lot to process.

Jian Xing'er narrowed her eyes upon seeing Chen Ruoyan, and her tears suddenly stopped.

"Junior brother, it's good that you're fine. Aren't you going to introduce your friends to us?" Jian Xing'er stood beside Liu Wuxie and spoke in a very affectionate tone.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became weird, with Fan Zhen and others taking a look at Liu Wuxie before turning to Jian Xing'er and Chen Ruoyan.

This was an act of declaration from Jian Xing'er because her actions told everyone she had an extraordinary relationship with Liu Wuxie regardless of his relationship with Chen Ruoyan.

The news of Liu Wuxie's return spread like wildfire in the inner sect.

Shao Wenliang was playing chess with Geng Mochou when he heard the news. His hand froze in mid-air, and the chess piece crumbled to powder.

"Damn it!" Shao Wenliang slammed his palm on the chessboard with his murderous intent filling the courtyard.

"That brat is really lucky. Even though we destroyed the stone bridge, he survived." Geng Mochou placed a chess piece down with disbelief in his eyes. It was a dead end even for those in the Heavenly Phase Realm in that situation.

"What do you plan to do now?" Shao Wenliang asked. Their harvest was decent because they had found dozens of drops of stalactite essence in the cave.

"I heard he killed Hou Ye in the Mission Hall. Hou Ye is in the seventh level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm but was killed in one strike. Liu Wuxie isn't simple." Geng Mochou stood up and looked into the distance. What had happened in the Mission Hall had already spread out.

"Are we doing to let this go? I won't be able to sleep in peace without killing him!" Shao Wenliang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"This isn't the right time. We're stuck in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and we have to reach the Heavenly Phase Realm if we want to kill him." Geng Mochou clenched his fists because he had reached the threshold of the Heavenly Phase Realm, but he was still lacking a little.

"You're right. We have to reach the Heavenly Phase Realm for safety's sake!" Shao Wenliang agreed with Geng Mochou. He also knew it wasn't wise to confront Liu Wuxie now.

In just one night, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was filled with undercurrents. Many wanted Liu Wuxie's stalactite essence, but they could only wander outside his courtyard.

This was because Liu Wuxie's courtyard was protected with spiritual runes, preventing anyone from breaking in.

At dawn, Fan Zhen emerged from the room, forcibly dragging a still-hungover Song Ling with him. To sober him up, Fan Zhen dumped a bucket of cold water over Song Ling, causing him to scream from the chill.

The others had tidied up and stood before Liu Wuxie. Liu Wuxie had let them stay in the house while he had cultivated in the courtyard all night.

Being a Woman, Chen Ruoyan had no choice but to share the space with Jian Xing'er.

"Wuxie, what should we do now?" Fan Zhen had changed into a new set of clothes, looking much younger. He had abandoned his identity as the Imperial Academy's headmaster and was just a follower of Liu Wuxie now.

"These are five cultivation techniques, and you all have two hours to memorize them."

The Divine Phaseless Art was a sect secret, and revealing it would violate the sect's rules. However, Liu Wuxie didn't care, believing that rules meant nothing compared to the value of human life.

If the sect wanted to punish him, they would have restricted his movements after he had memorized so many books. This signaled that the sect had acknowledged his actions.

The five treated the books as treasures and sat down to read by the side. The cultivation technique was challenging, as they only had two hours to memorize it.

But as the saying goes, there would be no motivation without any pressure. Their foundation was too weak to follow conventional methods because, at this rate, it would take them half a year to reach the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Time passed, and Fan Zhen was the first to memorize the cultivation technique. He was in the True Core Realm and had a powerful divine sense, which was why he could memorize the book so quickly.

The second was Bi Gongyu, the third was Chen Ruoyan, the fourth was Lan Yu, and Song Ling was still reading because it was difficult for him to memorize the book in two hours.Rêađ latest cha/p/ters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)c/o/m
