70: A visitor from the Wanjian Sect

Just as Li Xiangyun was chatting with the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect, someone finally arrived.

However, the person who came surprised him.

“Sect Master?”

Li Xiangyun greeted him.

Although he knew the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would send someone, he never expected it to be the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Wan Qing, leading the team.

“Haha, I came to support you, and also to ask why you haven’t returned to the Sect to visit. Could it be that you’re upset with the Sect?”

Wan Qing patted Li Xiangyun’s shoulder and laughed.

At the same time, the Disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect behind Wan Qing bowed in unison and said, “Elder Li!”

“Hmm,” Li Xiangyun nodded in acknowledgment, then said helplessly, “The Sect Master is joking. I’ve already explained why I haven’t returned to the Sect.”

“Now that the Demonic Path is rampant, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect can do without a Li Xiangyun, but the Li Family cannot do without me, Ice Peak Zhenren.”

“So be it!” Wan Qing sighed and said, “As long as you still remember the Sect, that’s enough.”

Then, he turned to the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect beside him and laughed, “Brother Wei, long time no see.”

Wei Tiangang, who was the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect, chuckled and said, “Brother Wan, why did you personally lead people here? Are you afraid that my Spirit Beast Sect will bully guests?”

“Haha, I am well aware of Brother Wei’s profound righteousness.”

“My visit this time, besides seeing the Elder from my Sect, is more about discussing some matters with Brother Wei.”

“No problem, no problem.”

“Please?”

“Please!”

After Wan Qing and Wei Tiangang walked away, Li Xiangyun finally had time to catch up with Li Muwan in the crowd.

“Old Ancestor.”

Li Muwan stepped out of the crowd and respectfully saluted Li Xiangyun.

Although Li Xiangyun was a bit helpless, he still said gently, “How are you doing at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”

“Old Ancestor, rest assured, my Revered Master and Senior Brothers treat me very well,” Li Muwan smiled slightly.

Speaking of Li Muwan’s Revered Master, it was Lin Ye, the Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion, and also Li Xiangyun’s best friend in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Therefore, Li Xiangyun was quite relieved about Li Muwan becoming Lin Ye’s Disciple.

And in these three years, under Lin Ye’s tutelage, Li Muwan successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After a few more simple pleasantries, Li Xiangyun arranged for them to sit next to the Li Family Cultivators.

Along the way, the Disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect couldn't help but discuss.

“I didn’t expect to see Elder Li again. To be honest, three years ago, Elder Li looked very old, nothing like his current vibrant self.”

“That’s true. Three years ago, I was actually feeling sorry that Elder Li was about to pass away…”

“But not long after, I heard the news of Elder Li slaying a Golden Core Demonic Cultivator. I was truly shocked at the time.”

“Good thing I never spoke ill of Elder Li.”

“Keep your voices down. Didn’t you see Junior Sister Li in our team?”

“Be careful, Junior Sister Li might report you to Elder Li.”

“Mu Wan, don’t mind them. They’re just bored.”

Perhaps afraid that Li Muwan would be angry, a woman beside Li Muwan spoke up to persuade her at this moment.

Li Muwan shook her head and smiled, “It’s fine, Senior Sister Wen. I know my Senior Brothers don’t mean any harm.”

Afterward, their group arrived near the Li Family Cultivators.

“Xin’er, long time no see.”

Li Muwan greeted her with a smile.

Li Xin’er called out gloomily, “Sister Mu Wan.”

Li Muwan saw Li Xin’er’s worries, so she smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, little brother Xingyan will be fine.”

“Mhm.” Li Xin’er forced a smile and nodded.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from afar.

The sudden Spiritual Qi fluctuation instantly startled Li Xiangyun on the high platform.

Li Xiangyun, who was chatting idly, frowned and then disappeared from the high platform.

“What’s going on? Where did that Spiritual Qi fluctuation come from?”

“Who dares to cause trouble at the Spirit Beast Sect?”

“Where is Ice Peak Zhenren? Why is Ice Peak Zhenren gone?”

Someone guessed, “Could it be Li Xingyan?”

“It’s really possible.”

“Is the great battle about to begin?”

“Speaking of which, the Spirit Beast Sect wouldn’t be so petty as to deliberately make things difficult for others and not let Li Xingyan ascend the mountain, would they?”

Just as everyone was discussing, Wei Tiangang stood up and shouted, “Silence!”

The voice wasn’t loud, but under the powerful Aura of his Golden Core Peak cultivation, it instantly silenced the talking crowd.

Then, Wei Tiangang returned to his seat.

Wan Qing smiled curiously, “Brother Wei, aren’t you going to take a look?”

Wei Tiangang: “I believe Ice Peak Zhenren will handle it.”

Time rewound to about ten minutes ago.

Ten days ago, after Wang Ning shook off the pursuit of the Asked Dao Academy.

He originally wanted to rendezvous with Li Xingyan, but he searched almost the entire ruins and couldn’t find any trace of Li Xingyan.

Guessing that Li Xingyan might have already left, Wang Ning departed the ruins alone.

Then, with nowhere to go, Wang Ning, for some unknown reason, perhaps wanting to see what was so special about Li Xingyan, decided to go see Li Xingyan’s three-year agreement with Tian Linfeng.

So, he came to the Spirit Beast Sect.

At first, Wang Ning, relying on his Qi Condensation Peak cultivation, didn’t encounter any obstacles along the way.

Until he encountered the Spirit Ape guarding the mountain gate.

“Senior, may I pass?”

Looking at the majestic, mountain-like Aura of the Spirit Ape in front of him, Wang Ning respectfully saluted.

However, he didn’t expect the guarding Spirit Ape to directly roar at Wang Ning,

“Scram~”

“A mere Qi Condensation Stage ant, dares to come to my Spirit Beast Sect to watch the battle?”

A terrifying sound wave swept over, directly blowing Wang Ning away.

And that wasn’t all. Looking at Wang Ning flying into the air, the guarding Spirit Ape glared, and directly threw a punch.

The huge fist crashed down like a mountain, clearly intending to smash Wang Ning into a pulp with one punch.

“Damn it.”

Wang Ning never expected this guarding Spirit Ape to be so cruel and domineering, wanting to kill someone at the slightest disagreement.

If there was a day, he would definitely get his revenge!

But looking at the approaching fist, Wang Ning, unable to resist, still decided that saving his Life was paramount.

At this critical moment, Li Xiangyun appeared.

He stood with his hands behind his back, elegant and refined. Looking at the mountain-like fist before him, a smile played on his lips. He raised his right hand and blocked the terrifying blow with just one finger.

The strong punch wind didn’t even ruffle his hair.

And throughout the entire process, Li Xiangyun didn’t even use Spiritual Power, seemingly blocking the punch with just his Physical Body.

The guarding Spirit Ape looked at the tiny figure that suddenly appeared before its eyes, its huge pupils contracting.

The fear of being dominated by Li Xiangyun once again surfaced in its mind.

And this time, the fear was even greater.

Because the guarding Spirit Ape could feel that the Li Xiangyun before him had become even more terrifying.

Then, Li Xiangyun moved away the giant hand, looked at the ferocious ape Face, and said with a smile, “This is a Junior of mine. Brother Ape, could you give me some Face and let him pass?”

“Of course,” the guarding Spirit Ape retracted its right hand, scratched its head, and laughed foolishly, “Please!”

“Thank you, Brother Ape.”

After speaking, Li Xiangyun left with Wang Ning.

“Damn Li Xiangyun, I’ll get you back sooner or later!”

After confirming that Li Xiangyun had truly left, the enraged guarding Spirit Ape dared to swing the golden staff beside it, wildly smashing the surrounding mountain forest to vent its anger.

Which, in turn, brought terrible luck to a Foundation Establishment Family that had just arrived…
