Chapter 39: Young Lady of the Cangqiong Sect!

Chapter 39: Young Lady of the Cangqiong Sect!

Inside the temple of Liuxian Main Peak on Jiuxian Mountain.

In the grand hall, elders and stewards excluded, nearly all the true disciples of the main peak and inner sect had gathered.

There were numerous experts, including those who reached the peak of Qi Formation, strong cultivators in the Pulse Formation Realm, and talented disciples who had even reached the later stages of the Pulse Formation Realm.

Seated on the throne in the grand hall, Sect Leader Lin Canglang's face bore a mix of surprise and unease.

Just a short while ago, a disciple guarding the mountain brought back news: the young miss from the Azure Sky Sect, which served as the guardian sect of the Tianbai Empire, Yue Yunlan, made an unexpected visit to the Wenxian Sect!

The Wenxian Sect was a modestly renowned sect within the Seventh Northern District of the Tianbai Empire, whereas the Cangqiong Sect held the esteemed position of being the divine guardian sect of the empire. The gap in their respective statuses was as significant as the contrast between clouds and mud. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Lin Canglang couldn't fathom why the esteemed young miss of the Cangqiong Sect would have any reason to visit the Wenxian Sect.

"During Miss Yue's visit to our Wenxian Sect, ensure that everything is smoothly arranged. Don't neglect the slightest detail!" Lin Canglang's stern gaze swept across the disciples in the hall. "You should be aware of the stature of the Cangqiong Sect. With a mere wave from their sect master, the empire's million-strong army can arrive in the blink of an eye, and our Wenxian Sect could be wiped out in an instant!"

Both elders and disciples wore solemn expressions, fully aware that the sect leader's words were genuine and carried no hint of deceit.

The divine guardian sect possessed the authority to mobilize imperial divine guards, which were made up exclusively of martial artists in the later stages of the Qi Formation Realm and beyond. Among these elite members, a mere gesture could render even the sect leader of the Wenxian Sect powerless, leaving no room for resistance.

"This visit from Miss Yue could be our chance to enhance Wenxian Sect's reputation. If any of you can win her favor, it will indeed showcase your abilities!"

At eighteen, Miss Yue Yunlan of the Cangqiong Sect was in her prime. As the saying went, "Which young girl isn't filled with youthful exuberance?"

If disciples from the Wenxian Sect managed to win Yue Yunlan's favor, it could potentially pave the way for an alliance between the Wenxian Sect and the Cangqiong Sect. After such an event, in the Tianbai Empire, who wouldn't extend respect to the Wenxian Sect?

Certainly, those disciples in the hall, who thought of themselves as somewhat handsome and charming, eagerly began their preparations. Whether Yue Yunlan was considered beautiful or ugly didn't concern them. It's her status as the young lady of the Cangqiong Sect that held significance.

"Having Miss Yue as a friend would indeed be a stroke of luck," Lin Canglang smiled gently, "Zheng'er, go and attend to Miss Yue courteously, ensure not a single detail is overlooked."

"Yes, Master!"

...

As Ling Feng walked back to the Wenxian Sect along the mountain path, he suddenly spotted a scene beyond the sect's gates. Colorful flags fluttered, lanterns adorned the area, and the entire sect, from top to bottom, appeared in a joyous celebration.

Intrigued, Ling Feng wondered, "Is today a special occasion for the Wenxian Sect? Did someone significant visit our sect?"

Taking a moment to ponder, Ling Feng shrugged subtly, deciding not to dwell on it.

Whatever it was, it held little concern for him. Despite playing the part of Lin Canglang's undercover agent to oversee Duanmu Qingshan, he stood firm in his own beliefs. When it came to matters involving the Wenxian Sect, he remained entirely indifferent.

Venturing into the vast wilderness mountains for training proved incredibly rewarding. In a mere five or six days, he achieved a significant feat—directly breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Formation!

"I should quickly head back to Little Bamboo Peak." Ling Feng had already obtained two treasured items from Li Changqing's possessions.

It was a bag of crystal stones and a manual titled Boundless Sword Steps. Not recognizing the stones, he hurried back to consult Duanmu Qingshan, confident in Duanmu Qingshan's broad knowledge to identify the item.

As he walked forward, two outer sect disciples of the Wenxian Sect rushed towards him, brandishing long swords to bar his way. Their angry shouts rang out, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Wenxian Sect!"

It was only at that moment Ling Feng remembered his current appearance—wrapped in animal hide, resembling a mountain hunter rather than a disciple of the Wenxian Sect.

"I'm an inner sect disciple, Ling Feng. Please step aside," Ling Feng said calmly.

"An inner sect disciple? Haha, nice joke! Where's your disciple's attire? Your token of identity?" One disciple on the left glared fiercely at Ling Feng, shouting, "Today is an important day for our Wenxian Sect. I suggest you refrain from causing trouble, or there will be serious consequences!"

Ling Feng's brow furrowed slightly. Dealing with the king of the underworld was easier, and dealing with troublesome spirits was less of a hassle. Even when handling the head of the Wenxian Sect, it wasn't this much trouble.
