449: Entering the Chixiao Sect

Xiao Han was busy distributing the spirit tablet points, while Lu Xingchen and Yun Li walked hand-in-hand toward the four high platforms.

On one side of the platforms were drawn the respective Sect totems and names of the Four Great Mystic Sects: Tianxing Sect, Sword and Blade God Sect, Chixiao Sect, and Bamboo Sea Sect.

Other than that, there was no other information.

Lu Xingchen held Yun Li's hand and said softly, "Miss Yun Li, I cannot stop you from pursuing a better future, but I also won't be able to protect you closely. After this separation, I don't know when we'll meet again. You must take good care of yourself!"

Yun Li obediently didn't resist, but instead tightened her grip slightly.

She knew that this trip to the Four Great Mystic Sects would be extremely dangerous.

They had only obtained tickets to the Sect headquarters. What they would encounter in the future, whether they could obtain an Opportunity, was all unknown—there was even the risk of death.

Even if they were lucky enough to obtain the Legacy of the Four Great Mystic Sects, they didn't know where they would emerge from, or if they would be able to see each other again.

But neither of them were timid people; with the Opportunity right before their eyes, how could they not try?

Just as Lu Xingchen said, neither of them would stop the other from rushing toward a better future.

Yun Li pretended to be relaxed and said, "Relax! We've walked through so much hardship together, do we fear these small Four Great Mystic Sects? We will definitely make it safely to the finals!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "Alright, we'll see each other in the final round!"

"Speaking of which, Miss Yun Li, which Sect are you planning to choose?"

Yun Li said softly, "I can only say I'll try my luck! I choose the Tianxing Sect because their Sect totem is a longbow, which is the most compatible with my abilities."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"Miss Yun Li, since we're about to part, how about a kiss?"

The gentleness on Yun Li's face vanished. She released Lu Xingchen's hand and lightly punched his chest with her small fist.

"You scoundrel, why is your head always filled with such things?"

Lu Xingchen winced in pain, covering his chest as he took a step back.

"You're my wife, if I don't lust after you, who should I lust after?"

Yun Li's pretty face flushed red, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Whether we get married is still uncertain. I'm leaving now!"

After speaking, Yun Li flew onto the platform belonging to the Tianxing Sect. A white light flashed, and she vanished from the spot.

Lu Xingchen watched Yun Li's retreating figure until she completely disappeared before retracting his gaze and letting out a soft sigh.

Miss Yun Li is still a bit reserved. He'll have to train her more in the future.

Immediately, he looked at the remaining four platforms. The totem of the Sword and Blade God Sect was a crossed blade and sword, the totem of the Chixiao Sect was a long sword drawn from its sheath, and the totem of the Bamboo Sea Sect was a flute.

The Bamboo Sea Sect was immediately ruled out. Judging by appearances, both the Sword and Blade God Sect and the Chixiao Sect had Sword Dao Legacy. Which one should he choose?

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xingchen still chose the Chixiao Sect.

For no other reason than that the Chixiao Sect's totem looked slightly better than the Sword and Blade God Sect's.

Roaming the Nine Provinces, luck was also a part of strength.

Lu Xingchen considered himself a Transmigrator and possessed a System. If this were a novel, he would most likely be the protagonist, meaning his luck wouldn't be too bad.

But even if he chose incorrectly, he wouldn't regret it.

He believed that with his strength, no one below the Saint Realm could kill him. If he truly stumbled into a wolf's den, he would use the sharp sword in his hand to carve out a bloody path!

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Xingchen no longer hesitated and stepped onto the high platform belonging to the Chixiao Sect.

A white light flashed, followed by the familiar feeling of weightlessness.

By the time he landed on the ground, he had already arrived at the Chixiao Sect's Mountain Gate.

The defensive Spirit Formation at the Mountain Gate had already been destroyed, posing no obstacle to Lu Xingchen.

The Mountain Gate was also littered with white bones.

Looking at the clothing next to the white bones, Lu Xingchen saw the Sect totem of the Chixiao Sect and the totem of another Sect.

That was a black heart.

It was not hard to guess that the confrontation between the Four Great Mystic Sects and the Four Great Demonic Sects must have reached a very intense point, as even the Chixiao Sect's Mountain Gate had been breached.

But Lu Xingchen's heart was completely calm.

The battle from a hundred years ago had nothing to do with him; he had come here only to obtain the Chixiao Sect's Legacy.

Moreover, who said that anyone with the character "Demon" in their name must be a villain?

Everything was merely driven by self-interest.

The people of the Four Great Demonic Sects were not necessarily all evil, for example, Dongfang Yuqing of the Evil Soul Sect.

Through his interaction with him, Lu Xingchen was genuinely curious about this man.

He wasn't the type of person who was habitually bloodthirsty. Although his strength was clearly greater than his own, he still reasoned with him during the fight, and in the end, he spared his life.

Although he didn't whitewash the Evil Soul Sect, he did cause Lu Xingchen to let go of his prejudice against the Evil Soul Sect.

Lu Xingchen stepped through the Mountain Gate and walked all the way toward the depths of the Chixiao Sect.

Through the system map, he already knew the structure of the Chixiao Sect, which was divided into the Inner Sect and Outer Sect.

He no longer valued the items in the Outer Sect, so there was no need to waste time. He walked straight through the main Sect road and into the Inner Sect.

All he saw along the way were piles of white bones. The conflict between these two forces was truly intense, having even reached their home base.

After entering the Inner Sect area, he saw no more white bones.

It seemed that the Disciples of the Chixiao Sect had held the line and prevented the forces of the Four Great Demonic Sects from breaking in.

Guided by the map, Lu Xingchen first arrived at the Inner Sect's Library Pavilion.

The Library Pavilion was protected by an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation on the outside and had not suffered any damage.

But he was already an experienced Spirit Array Master, so cracking an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation was not a big problem; he finished it in ten minutes.

But as the Spirit Formation was broken, the sound of a sharp blade being drawn echoed from the deeper parts of the Chixiao Sect.

Lu Xingchen heard this sound, and although he had some concerns, he didn't stop what he was doing.

Since he had already come this far, he couldn't leave empty-handed, could he?

No matter what challenge I face next, I, Lu Xingchen, accept it!

Pushing open the door of the Library Pavilion, a wisp of scholarly fragrance wafted out.

Lu Xingchen's movements were swift; he didn't waste time but immediately began harvesting treasures.

The first floor was entirely filled with Xuan Rank Martial Skills, several hundred scrolls in total.

Without hesitation, he submitted all these Martial Skills to the Human Emperor Hall.

The operation was simple: he just needed to touch the Martial Skills with his spirit tablet.

Xuan Rank Martial Skills could only bring him single-digit points, but the sheer quantity made up for it! Just on the first floor, he gained five hundred spirit tablet points.

Lu Xingchen immediately entered the second floor, where there were hundreds of Earth-Rank Martial Skill scrolls.

He likewise submitted them to the Human Emperor Hall, gaining one thousand five hundred spirit tablet points.

With this, Lu Xingchen's spirit tablet points reached a terrifying three thousand two hundred, firmly securing the first rank!

Whereas Luo Chen, who was ranked second, had only obtained two thousand points.

Just as he was about to enter the third floor, a shrill voice suddenly rang out from outside the Library Pavilion.

"Those who trespass upon my Chixiao Sect shall be killed without mercy!"
