The first snowfall of this winter was relatively early. No matter where one was on Sky Dragon Continent, they would be covered by a thick layer of white snow. The entire world seemed to be purified by this white snow, as if it was completely pure.

Even though the Sky Dragon Continent was covered in snow, it did not affect cultivators in the slightest. On a morning when everything was quiet, the Cloudsoaring sect was bustling with activity. Cultivators from various sects all gathered at the Cloudsoaring sect for the competition that was held once every three years.

Inside the Lingyun Palace, Ling Tian sat on the main seat. Beside him were the sect leader Gu Wanfeng, Yao Fengniang of the Heavenly Ghost Yard, the Cloud Courtyard's Sect Leader An Xi, the Golden Buddha Academy's Sect Leader Fan Yu, and the Head of the Academy, Sun Wumiyi. On the other hand, the Intense Flaming Sect no longer had contact with the cultivation sects after Yan Lingzi's return. Ling Tian had wanted to send someone to visit Yan Lingzi several times, but he could only get smacked in the door time and again.

"Everyone, you've come quite early this year." Ling Tian smiled faintly as he sat at the head of the table.

"Sect Leader is too polite. We are all part of the Lingyun School, and we heard that the Lingyun School had sent people to help them. This is a gathering that happens once every three years, so how could we be late?" Gu Wanfeng smiled humbly as he spoke.

In the entire sect, he was the only Nascent Soul Stage cultivator supporting him. Moreover, because he had not been able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage and was on the verge of hard work supporting the sect, the surrounding sects were all eyeing him covetously, waiting for him to come and take over his sect as soon as he died. He fully understood the actions of the surrounding sects, but he did not have the ability or the ability to do so. He could only wait until Lu Chen made a deal with him, allowing him to become the sect head of the Myriad Demon Sect. Then, he could help him break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Sect Leader Gu is right. Why hasn't Sect Leader come out yet?" Anshi asked with a smile.

An Xi was originally a rogue cultivator who had once offended a late stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and was being hunted down. Lu Chen found him when he was in desperate straits and used the Lingyun Sect to help him settle his enemy and hand the Cloud Courtyard over to him. Although he had always called Lu Chen 'benefactor' in the beginning, but in the end, he had also changed it to Junior Martial Brother Lu at Lu Chen's request.

"Junior brother Lu is still in closed door cultivation, but I think he will also come." Ling Tian said with a faint smile.

As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone felt a familiar aura. Fan Yu laughed and said, "You really are Cao Cao."

A few of them turned to look at the door, only to see a handsome man gently pushing it open with an apologetic expression on his face.

Seeing this handsome man, with the exception of Ling Tian, everyone was stunned. For a moment, the entire area fell silent.

"Junior brother Lu, you came so late, you deserve to be punished." Ling Tian broke the silence as he said with a smile. Although he had seen Lu Chen's real appearance before, he still felt a wave of emotions when he saw it again. At the same time, he was wondering why Lu Chen was willing to reveal his true appearance.

Seeing Ling Tian's puzzled expression, Lu Chen, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, "My fellow brothers, I'm sorry. The fake face that I had been using all this time is my real appearance."

Fan Yu was the first to react and said: "No wonder the first time I saw Junior Martial Brother Lu, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity. So that wasn't your true face, but Junior Martial Brother Lu, it's really wrong for you to show your true face now."

"Junior brother Lu, if we didn't know that you were a man, we would have thought that it was some fairy that had come." The eldest grandson Wu Yi said with a laugh.

Lu Chen chuckled dryly, but didn't say anything as he found his seat and sat down. Before leaving his own Quiet And Steadfast, Lu Chen was hesitating on whether he should take off the mask on his face or not. However, thinking about how he would not have any breakthrough if he did not even show his true face, he decided to take off the mask.

"Eh? Junior brother Lu, in these three years I haven't seen you raise your cultivation again. I'm afraid that the spirit energy fluctuations from your body have reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage." Yao Feng Niang asked.

Only then did Ling Tian and the others notice Lu Chen's cultivation. Their eyes flashed with surprise, but they did not say anything.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything as he sat by the side, quietly listening to Ling Tian's arrangements for the Lingyun Competition.

When night fell, the few of them had finished discussing the details of the competition. After chatting for a while, they went back to their respective residences in the Cloudsoaring sect.

"Lu Chen, do you have anything else to tell me?" Seeing that Lu Chen had specifically left them behind, Ling Tian knew that Lu Chen had something to talk to him about.

"Senior, wait until the end of the Lingyun Competition this time, I want to leave the Lingyun School." Lu Chen said indifferently.

"Leave? Junior brother Lu, why did you leave? " Ling Tian asked.

"Because I wanted to find the reason for my cultivation and find my goal. Lu Chen said firmly.

Seeing the seriousness in Lu Chen's eyes, Ling Tian knew that Lu Chen would be better off leaving, so he nodded in agreement.

Lu Chen smiled gratefully at Ling Tian and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he heard Ling Tian calling out to him.

"Junior brother Lu, where do you plan on going?" Ling Tian asked.

"Who knows?" Lu Chen smiled faintly and left.

Three days later, the Lingyun Competition will start on time. Ling Tian stood at the Lingyun Plaza, announcing the competition rules before returning to his seat to watch it with Fan Yu and the others. Furthermore, if they were outstanding disciples from a few small or middle-sized sects, then the disciples would have the opportunity to join the Cloudsoaring sect. The Cloudsoaring sect would also be part of the Cloudsoaring sect, and they would receive the protection of the Cloudsoaring sect.

Because Lu Chen was planning to leave the Cloudsoaring sect, he watched this competition very seriously. He had been watching every match in the last ten days. At the beginning, the Lingyun Sect and the others who had never seen Lu Chen's true appearance all thought that he was a rogue cultivator when they saw him, but upon knowing Lu Chen's identity, they were all shocked. Many female cultivators even put in great effort to compete with Lu Chen in hopes of gaining the favor of Lu Chen and being beside Lu Chen.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Lu Chen, who was standing with Ling Tian on the Lingyun Square, couldn't help but let out a pleased smile when he saw his younger brother, Lu Lei, in the Foundation Establishment Stage team this time.

Furthermore, after Jin Yun broke through to the Aurous Core stage, Ling Tian immediately issued an order announcing that Jin Yun would become his personal disciple as well as the next Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect. This caused Jin Yun to constantly complain in front of Lu Chen about why the various sects had allowed him to take over so many things so quickly, and to which he could only smile and mutter to himself in front of Lu Chen.

"Senior Brother, in the future, the Lu Family and the Qing Xuan Residence will be under your care." Lu Chen smiled apologetically at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian sighed as he replied, "Don't worry, I won't hold back about your matters. Furthermore, that little brother of yours is not a small figure in Qing Xuan's. He will definitely fulfill your goal."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and did not say much, but his heart was filled with gratitude. Seeing the sun hanging right in front of him, Lu Chen cupped his hands and disappeared without a trace in front of Ling Tian.

"Junior brother Lu, take care." Ling Tian sighed as he looked towards the direction Lu Chen disappeared in.

The Cloud Courtyard's Yun Yuan Residence said, "In that case, you're sure you're leaving." Lin You Yuan put down the tea in his hand and asked with a sigh.

Yes, also, Master, didn't you say that you wanted me to seek you out after my revenge, but too many things had happened, and I have always been too successful! I had always thought that as long as I could scheme well, everything would be under my control, but Xun Yun's matter had given me a warning, letting me understand that my plan was nothing in the face of true strength. Furthermore, seeing that you had almost been killed, I did not want to experience the feeling of helplessness that Senior Yun had almost fallen to the devil's side. Lu Chen said seriously.

"Lu Chen, since you've already made your decision, I can only support your decision. I only have one thing for you to remember, and that's to be careful in everything. You're not alone, and the Lingyun Sect, and the Lu family are all your dependencies." Lin You Yuan looked at Lu Chen seriously and said.

Lu Chen felt moved and solemnly nodded his head. He kowtowed in front of Lin You Yuan and left. Although he was currently confused about the future, he believed that he could find his own cultivation direction and not be forced to cultivate.

Lin You Yuan looked at Lu Chen's back and sighed before returning to his room.
