Chapter 501: Chapter 462 Ling Yun Sect Direct Lineage (4K4) Chapter 501: Chapter 462 Ling Yun Sect Direct Lineage (4K4) High platforms surrounded by mountains on all sides.
On the distant mountaintops, two figures stood in silence, one tall and one short, looking down below.
Clad in simple white robes, with only a delicate cloud pattern at the collar.
Any cultivator from the Nan Hong with a discerning eye would feel their heart skip a beat upon seeing these robes.
The Nan Hong Seven Sons, Ling Yun Sect, the robes of a direct disciple.
The shorter one was a rosy-cheeked youth, whose appearance was quite endearing, though he was somewhat plump, giving off an impression of affluence.
He barely opened his mouth, taking in everything happening below: “Senior Sister Wei, what just happened?”
The youth was merely at the sixth level of the Return to Void, and although he was capable of instantly shattering that red-whiskered, blood-clawed spirit puppet, he certainly couldn’t do it as effortlessly.
The taller girl slightly furrowed her brows, adding a touch of confusion to her lovely face.
After a moment of contemplation,
Wei Yuanling softly uttered a few words: “Tianyan Forty-Nine.”
“He’s actually already mastered a spiritual law?” The youth widened his eyes in surprise, “I remember Senior Brother Wei did not even catch on this quickly, right?”
“What are you thinking about? This person simply stumbled upon the entry to it,” Wei Yuanling glanced at him, “My brother is not someone just anyone can compare to.”
Even among direct disciples, there were levels of seniority.
junior brother Li Yu, who had just become a direct disciple not long ago, his cultivation was naturally much lower, whereas Wei Yuanling herself had already risen through the palace ranks seven times, breaking through to the eighth level of the Return to Void.
As for the Senior Brother Wei mentioned by the two.
He was a direct disciple of the Ling Yun Sect Master, a prominent figure who had stepped into the White Jade Capital.
“Senior Sister Wei, we took matters into our own hands, and someone died… won’t Senior Brother scold us when we get back?” Li Yu looked somewhat timid, having only come along to watch the excitement.
“What’s there to be afraid of? If you don’t tell and I don’t tell, how would he know?”
“Besides, I just told that Yang Lin that the Nanyang Sect couldn’t protect their treasures and it was fitting to lend them out – and I did borrow them. Who told him to make a move? I just want to mess up this matter. Can’t I say no privately? Must I put on some act of mystique in front of those Nanyang Sect people?”
Wei Yuanling warned him with a glare before withdrawing her gaze, “How could I be content when the He Dao Bao Di my brother has been waiting for, for so many years, was snatched away midway by some unknown nobody?”
“…” Li Yu glanced over cautiously and whispered, “Senior Brother Wei is naturally the heir to the Ling Yun treasures; he doesn’t need to compete with others. All he has to do is wait for the Sect Master uncle to demis—tch!”
“Anyhow, I just can’t stand it.” Wei Yuanling, reminded of the whisperings of those around her, felt a spur of nameless anger rising in her heart.
Why should someone stronger have to waste away their lifespan,
while others could ascend to heavens by luck, claiming the treasures that all Baiyu Capital Cultivators dream of, and still receive their respect and bowing salutations?
“If you dare to blurt this out, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Wei Yuanling stretched out a hand, threateningly clenching her fist.
“It’s not over yet?” Li Yu jumped in fright, looking bewildered.
“Of course it’s not over.”
Wei Yuanling smirked oddly, then suddenly pointed a finger onto the youth’s fingertip.
Instantly transforming him into a plump, white pig demon.
“You go mingle in the demon crowd and teach that boy a lesson… while also keeping the situation under control, don’t let those demons really cause a bloodbath.”
“If you lose the fight, you know the consequences.”
Looking at the expression on Wei Yuanling’s face,
Li Yu spread his pig hooves in dismay, “But what if I injure him? He is the Sect Master after all!”
Even after witnessing Shen Yi’s actions, he could still voice such a question.
It wasn’t out of arrogance.
But as a heaven’s pride of the Nan Hong Seven Sons, he was inherently not on the same level as an ordinary cultivator.
To them, the essence of cultivation was fundamentally different.
While ordinary cultivators were still risking their lives, pushing their limits to advance one more level,
These direct disciples had set their sights on the completion of Return to Void, and even beyond, towards the White Jade Capital.
All their foundation was prepared for the completion of the Heaven-Ascending Path.
“Just make the kid lose face in front of these people, but don’t get serious,” Wei Yuanling pondered for a moment, hesitating, but quickly regained her composure, “What Sect Master, before the Seven Sons conference is convened, nothing counts!”
“Anyway, I can’t beat you. What you say goes, and you’ll bear any consequences,” Li Yu drooped his head dejectedly, shrugging his shoulders before a certain zeal flashed in his eyes.
After so many years of cultivation, he had yet to have a real fight with a Spiritual Law Cultivator.
Li Yu was eager to find out if the so-called Tianyan Forty-Nine was truly as profound as the rumors claimed.
A few elderly individuals approached tremulously: “Reporting to the Immortal Sect executive, half a month ago, demons from outside Nan Hong attacked. We did our best to resist, but we still had our red-whiskered, blood-clawed spirit puppet destroyed. Luckily, a dao friend from Qinghai Prefecture passed by, not only helping us fend off the demons for the time being but also went back to summon many reinforcements from the Zhao Family and Qinghai Prefecture.”
“It was Yang Lin who found Heaven and Earth Treasures somewhere else, repaired the spirit puppet, and managed to hold off the demon’s counterattack until the allies arrived,”
The elderly wanted to explain further, but when faced with the young man’s pitch-black eyes, they lost the urge to prevaricate.
The situation wasn’t complicated.
The fact that the Puppet Sect had been abandoned by the Ling Yun Sect was established. Yang Lin managing to secure treasures elsewhere meant he had found backing from a powerful source.
How could they dare to offend him? In their hearts, they pondered whether they could find a new path for themselves.
Above the high platform, everyone held their breath.
