Chapter 608: Chapter 326: The Phantom Image, The Path of the Wisdom Sword
The Elders of the Taimiao Sect suddenly changed their expressions, but in just a few years, Xu Yan’s strength had grown immensely strong.
Among the geniuses of the Spiritual Realm, which one could be his match?
Even the protector Elder’s expression became solemn as she sensed a strong threat.
“Attack!”
The other Elders, no longer caring about the indignity of ganging up, attacked Xu Yan in unison.
The disciples of the Taimiao Sect hastily retreated, knowing that getting caught up would mean death or severe injury.
Their hearts trembled with shock. Xu Yan was so young yet so terrifyingly powerful.
“Xu Yan is so formidable!”
“Yes, yes, so handsome and so strong!”
“That’s right, I thought Disciple Yu was already a rare sight of a handsome young man, but compared to Xu Yan, he falls short by quite a bit!”
“Disciple Yu is too far behind, lacking in vigorous dominance. Look at Xu Yan, too imposing, too authoritative, too powerful, commanding True Dragons with a mere wave of his hand!”
Hearing the discussion of the female disciples, the male disciples of the Taimiao Sect all turned green with envy.
Especially that “Disciple Yu,” who was completely overwhelmed!
As the battle began, it shook the entire Taimiao Sect. Could it be that the attackers were from the Wanshi Alliance?
Yarong moved swiftly, appearing on the battlefield, her expression immediately changing as she did.
Xu Yan?
At that moment, Yarong had already refined the Domain Spirit Spark as a Martial Artist.
“Bring out Xin Mengrou. I need to ask her clearly where Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao are and whether your Taimiao Sect has done something unspeakable!”
Xu Yan spoke coldly.
In an instant, eighteen giant dragons transformed into eighteen huge swords, their sword lights layered upon one another, and the Sword Array circled around, trapping several Elders of the Taimiao Sect in the middle.
Here to find someone?
Yarong felt somewhat helpless; Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao were involved in the secretive matters of their master, Xin Mengrou, hence when they joined the Taimiao Sect, these Elders were unaware.
“Stop!”
Yarong moved swiftly to Xu Yan’s side. “The person you want to see, I’ll take you to them.”
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, and the Sword Array disappeared. He recognized this woman of the Taimiao Sect as the one who had observed from a distance during the great battle at the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall.
“Sister Yarong, you…”
The protector Elder, alarmed by Xu Yan’s strength, couldn’t help but frown at Yarong.
“Xu Yan’s old friends are with the master.”
Yarong sighed.
The protector Elder frowned; how come she was unaware?
Still, since Yarong was always handling tasks for her uncle master, those two must have an unusual identity.
“But Xu Yan…”
However, thinking of Xu Yan’s arrogance, not only breaking into Taimiao Sect but also flouting the rule that forbids outsider men from entering, and even blasting away an Elder, this was a direct challenge!
If this incident were glossed over, where would the dignity of Taimiao lie?
“I already said at the gate, I came here to visit an old friend. Your gatekeeper started shouting, saying I, Xu Yan, was blocking your Taimiao gate. That’s not my fault!”
Xu Yan interrupted her.
Though he had climbed up to the Taimiao gate, ultimately, it was the Sect’s responsibility.
Of course, Xu Yan thought, even if the Taimiao Sect gatekeeper had inquired about the people he was visiting, it was unlikely they could locate Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao. He would have stormed in anyway.
A fight was inevitable in the end.
The protector Elder paused, ordering someone to fetch the gatekeeper Martial Artist, while Xu Yan, disdainful of confronting, looked at Yarong, “Where are they? Lead the way, or have them come to meet me.”
His purpose here was twofold, to see old friends and to inquire about the whereabouts of Xie Lingfeng.
“You…”
Yarong was about to ask Xu Yan to wait while she informed her master but abruptly paused and changed her words: “Come with me.”
She turned, leading Xu Yan towards the peak of Taimiao Mountain.
“Sister Yarong, you…”
The protector Elder’s expression changed, the peak being the core area of Taimiao Sect, normally off-limits to ordinary Elders, let alone an outsider.
However, her expression suddenly froze, and she said no more.
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, clearly someone had communicated with him secretly. Was it Xin Mengrou?
Following the rugged, narrow mountain path, they walked towards the peak. Along the way, they saw several elegant courtyards, homes to the powerful of the Taimiao Sect.
The closer they got to the peak, the more flowers appeared on both sides of the path, each more beautiful than the last, a myriad of colors floating in the misty clouds, creating a surreal, dreamlike beauty.
“Go up yourself from here, below the peak, there are two elegant courtyards where the people you are looking for reside.”
Yarong stopped walking and spoke.
“Alright!”
Xu Yan nodded his head, neither timid nor fearing any conspiracy, his strength was his confidence. Even if his power wasn’t enough to handle potential dangers, he still had his master’s Divine Skills Jade Talisman.
The higher they went up Taimiao Peak, the more ethereal it felt, almost unreal.
“Hmm?”
Xu Yan suddenly stopped, looking towards a certain part of the mountain; his brow slightly raised, something seemed out of the ordinary there.
“Taimiao Sect’s secret ground?”
Without the intent to explore—it was the secret of Taimiao Sect after all—he continued his ascent.
The two courtyards had already come into view.
In the elegant courtyards bloomed vibrant flowers, and in front of the courtyard gates stood two beautiful women.
It was Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao.
Years had passed, and both women had grown even more beautiful and captivating.
Especially Yun Miaomiao, more enchanting than during her time at Wushuang Pavilion, seemed to constantly tug at one’s heartstrings.
“Young Master Xu!”
Du Yuying revealed a happy smile, her cheeks blushing.
