114: Could you please keep your voice down?

"Only fifth? Who are you looking down on?" Shen Min said, sounding somewhat displeased.

Old Man Tianji withdrew his finger, and the golden Dragon dissipated. He said slowly, "Fifth is already incredible. He is only twenty; reaching second is just a matter of time. As for first, well, they are all from the same family, so there is no real difference..."

"Hmph!"

Shen Min snorted coldly but did not say anything else. Fifth was indeed already very high. He admitted that the ones ahead were truly Prodigies, and among them was even the new Son of the Sequence from his Shen Family.

"Where are you going again?" Old Man Tianji asked again upon seeing Shen Min's figure disappear.

"Returning to the Shen Family to welcome the Young Clan Leader back to the clan..."

Shen Min's voice rang out, but he had already traveled an unknown distance away...

Meanwhile.

Just moments ago, at the same time Old Man Tianji's Divided Soul stepped into the Heavenly Demon Cave, ten thousand miles away.

On a giant black lighthouse stood several figures. Behind them was an old house, where dozens of women had recovered much of their spirit after taking Medicinal Pills.

The black lighthouse traveled through the sky at an extremely high speed.

Lin Yuan controlled the black tower as it moved forward. The reason he did not tear through space to return directly to the Great Xia was because Xia Youyue had asked him in advance to help give her a ride. Knowing that she was the Young Lord's Junior Sister, Lin Yuan naturally would not refuse.

"I wonder where Junior Sister Xia is so determined to go..." Lin Qingyue sat cross-legged, recovering from his injuries while looking worriedly at Xia Youyue's departing figure.

Liu Huihui said softly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, there is no need to worry too much. Senior Lin said that the great demons of the Heavenly Demon Cave dare not come to the outer perimeter for the time being."

"I have heard of Princess Xia's temperament while in the valley. Having been in the Great Xia Demon Suppression Division for many years, her style of acting has always been steady and decisive. She is not a reckless person."

"That is true." Lin Qingyue nodded, subconsciously touching the wooden sword in his embrace, a slight sigh in his heart.

This trip to the ruins had affected him deeply, especially the feeling of being powerless while Lin Chuan stepped forward to protect them—a feeling he would never forget.

At this moment, in the front.

Lin Yuan suddenly turned his head to glance behind him, his brows furrowing slightly. It was not because he sensed an unusual aura, but rather an instinctive perception.

Strange, why do I feel the aura of spatial turbulence, yet the spatial barrier is completely intact...

Just as he was deep in thought, Lin Yuan suddenly froze.

He saw Wang Cuihua walking over with her hands behind her back, standing beside him with a cold expression, gazing forward.

Lin Yuan was immediately silent, then asked, "What exactly do you want by following me?"

This woman must have a problem. No matter where he was, she would appear inexplicably, just like a ghost!

"If you weren't looking at me, how would you know I was following you? If you look at me, why can't I say it's you following me?"

"Is this Heavenly Demon Cave run by your family?"

"I go wherever I want!"

Wang Cuihua retorted with a cold look.

"..." Lin Yuan's mouth twitched; he was almost speechless.

Fine! I'm in the wrong! You win!

Immediately, Lin Yuan found a spot and sat down cross-legged. Wang Cuihua sat cross-legged opposite him.

Lin Yuan turned a blind eye, focusing on his own nose and heart.

"You must have met Luo Li by now, right?" Wang Cuihua asked suddenly.

"The Young Lord met Mountain Revered Master Luo upon first arriving in Great Xia, so naturally I have met her," Lin Yuan nodded and said.

"How is she?" Wang Cuihua continued to ask.

Lin Yuan answered very frankly, "Very beautiful."

Boom!

A terrifying Sword Intent erupted.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but say angrily, waving his hand to suppress the Sword Intent.

Wang Cuihua kept a straight face and said resentfully, "I was asking about other things, not her appearance!"

"Then why didn't you just say so?" Lin Yuan was speechless. He immediately recalled the sword-carrying woman who only had Soul Transformation Middle Stage cultivation; she left the deepest impression on him.

Aside from that indescribable beauty, there was the word "mystery." Even he sometimes could not understand some of her actions. If it weren't for the Young Lord's insistence on becoming her disciple at the time, and the fact that she liked the Young Lord very much, Lin Yuan actually would not have wanted the Young Lord to cultivate under her.

Because he could not see through her, it meant unpredictable danger...

"Very mysterious. She seems to be at the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, but it feels like it's not that simple..." Lin Yuan replied very seriously. The next second, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't she the Mountain Revered Master of your Heavenly Sword Sect? You don't know?"

"Even the people of the Shen Family can't see through her..." Wang Cuihua couldn't help but ponder for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan and explained, "Luo Li was not recruited by me. Before she came, the Heavenly Sword Sect only had eight Mountain Revered Masters, and there was no Ninth Mountain..."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuan asked, looking surprised.

"It means that the day after Luo Li arrived, the Heavenly Sword Sect suddenly had an extra green mountain. She found me and said she wanted to be the Mountain Revered Master of this Ninth Mountain. If I agreed, she would solve the doubts about the Dao of the sword that had plagued me for many years..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was stunned.

A Soul Transformation stage cultivator solving the sword Dao doubts of a Void Return stage cultivator?

Are you kidding me!

Seeing Lin Yuan's expression, Wang Cuihua couldn't help but smile: "At first, I had the same expression as you. Seeing that she was at the Soul Transformation stage, and it would strengthen my Heavenly Sword Sect, I agreed. I didn't think too much about it at the time..."

"However, I didn't expect that with just eight words, she could truly help me step into the Heavenly Mysterious Sword Dao..." A look of reminiscence appeared in Wang Cuihua's eyes, along with deep shock.

"Which eight words?" Lin Yuan asked with a solemn expression.

Wang Cuihua shook her head: "I don't know. Those eight words only existed in intent, but were formless. However, I am certain that they were indeed words!"

Lin Yuan's expression became grave. In that case, the Young Lord's Revered Master was far from as simple as he had thought.

"Then why are you telling me this..."

Wang Cuihua sneered: "Heh, I thought a big shot from the Upper Realm would be knowledgeable. I thought you might be able to understand her..."

"..." Lin Yuan had the urge to hit someone, but he restrained himself. After all, she was a woman.

However, he would still have to report the matter of the Young Lord's Revered Master when he returned. If he couldn't see through her, there were surely people in the Shen Family who could.

"By the way, hasn't she looked for you in these past few years?"

"After the Young Lord entered the Ninth Mountain, I tied... cough cough." Lin Yuan was just about to say he tied up that woman, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, when he noticed a cold gaze sweeping over. He immediately felt awkward and changed his tone: "I was temporarily managing the Heavenly Sword Sect for you. My memories were sealed, and in my impression, I only saw her once. She just told me she was going out for a while and wouldn't be back for a short time, and told me to visit the Ninth Mountain more often..."

Just after saying this, Lin Yuan's body shuddered slightly.

Visit the Ninth Mountain more often?

It seems she had long discovered that he was a fake!

"She left?" Wang Cuihua felt some regret. She was just at the first layer of the Void Return stage and wanted to forge the second layer of her dao palace. She had gathered the Materials, but had not succeeded. She had planned to ask Luo Li, but she hadn't expected the other party to have already left.

If it weren't for the fact that she was suddenly kidnapped, she probably would have had time to ask.

The next second, Wang Cuihua said angrily.

"It's all your fault!"

Lin Yuan's eyelid twitched, and he gritted his teeth, transmitting his voice: "Can you keep your voice down!"

Immediately, a sound of spatial vibration rang out, and a magnificent city of the Human Race appeared in the distance.

They were almost there!

At this time.

A strange expression appeared in Liu Huihui's eyes. She felt that something was weird, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you feel that your Sect Master and Senior Lin are acting a bit strange?" Liu Huihui couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qingyue narrowed his eyes and said somewhat strangely: "They are a bit..."

But that shouldn't be.

Revered Master said that our Sect Master is an iron tree that will never bloom, with only the great cause of strengthening the Heavenly Sword Sect in her heart. Could it be that the Sect Master wants to let Junior Brother Shen, this servant, join the sect?

Thinking about it this way, it seemed very likely.

At the same time.

In the Ancient Moon Grotto-Heaven ruins, the third layer of space.

Amidst the surrounding mountains, on a quiet path.

"Heh heh, little girl, are you willing to become my disciple and be my Junior Sister?"

A black-robed youth stood with his hands behind his back, a confident smile on his lips. His face was delicate, but his eyes revealed a trace of vicissitudes.

If one looked closely, the vicissitudes in his eyes were turning into fanaticism, but it was forcibly suppressed by him.

But the excitement inside could no longer be controlled.

This old man has finally found you!

The lonely Daughter of Destiny, protected by great Luck and possessing the Divine Phoenix Sacred Body!

You must be in great need of someone's help right now, hahahahahaha!!
