“I see!” Yu Luan then realized that this Supremacy was here to return here a favor. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes darted and he immediately put on an amiable smile, saying, “Supremacy, you’re really too polite! It’s merely ten thousand spirit stones, why don’t the sect make the decision and disburse ten thousand spirit stones to this disciple. Take it as our thanks to Supremacy for resetting the Protective Mountain Array!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

There still existed such an alternative!

ヽ(✿゚▽゚)ノ

Three people’s eyes lit up, no need to deduct their living expenses now, Chef instantly felt that his excuse had been made so well and replied, “It’s no problem at all Sect Master, I set up the array because I found the scenery of your sect rather beautiful, it’s a good place, so I just made some preparations in advance.”

“Supremacy means to say…” Yu Luan faltered, slightly baffled about his intentions.

“Does your sect lack sword cultivators? My kind!”

Yu Luan: “…”

The peak masters: “…”

The Elders: “…”

Were they hearing things just now!

Oh my god! A Soul Formation cultivator fell from the sky! The type that drops right at your doorstep!

Yu Luan suddenly had the urge to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming. One ought to know that Soul Formation Supremacies were people in the highest state in cultivation, the next step for them was ascension. There was no sect that didn’t treasure and worship them like ancestors, besides the number of Soul Formation cultivators directly affected the strength of the sect.

Their Gui Yi Sect lost out here, with only two Soul Formation Supremacies. Although because of the fact that their sect was mostly made up of core cultivators that other sects did not dare to easily offend them, based on capabilities, they were indeed inferior to the other top-class immortal sects. On the surface, all was good, but they suffered lots of hidden losses. Moreover, the fiendish cultivators had covetous eyes on them. If there was really a battle, Gui Yi Sect might not be able to resist at all.

Even for their defense array, they had to spend spirit stones every ten years to invite sects specialized in array formations to reinforce it. This was Gui Yi Sect’s greatest weakness- having too little capable cultivators, especially Soul Formation cultivators. This was also the reason why they couldn’t match up to Tai Yan Sect all this time, after all, Tai Yan Sect had a dozen of Soul Formation Supremacies.

However, today, a late stage Soul Formation cultivator came right to their doorstep, he was even a sword cultivator! What does a Soul Formation sword cultivator mean? Unless a real immortal descended to earth, otherwise, he would be an existence that could dominate the entire cultivator world and no one would be able to afford to provoke him! How could he not be agitated! It was far more than agitation, he was so tempted to run three rounds around the entire sect to calm down.

“Su… Supremacy, re… really wants to stay behind in my Gui Yi Sect?”

“Can’t I?” Yi Qing frowned, that’s troublesome then.

“You can! You can! Of course you can!” Yu Luan immediately nodded fervently, who cares why he suddenly came to their door. This was such a strong aid, he had to be kept behind, any other problem was not a problem. “It’s Gui Yi Sect’s honor that Supremacy chose us. If Supremacy were to stay, my… my… my entire sect is willing to serve Supremacy as the Grand Elder and honor you as the eldest!”

“No need for that!” Yi Qing shook his head for that. “I am not from your Gui Yi Sect, I’m afraid it’s not proper.”

“It is, it is!” Yu Luan said even more happily, as long you stay, anything can be settled. “Supremacy’s cultivation is powerful, it’s only right.”

“Absurd!” Before Yi Qing could respond, Supremacy Tian Ji finally came back to his senses and turned to the crowd with a glare. “How can we let such a person of dubious background join my Gui Yi Sect. Have you forgotten that he’d ruined the Protective Mountain Array earlier. Who knows what motives he has for suddenly appearing here?”

Everyone else’s expression changed as they tensed. Though they knew that Uncle-Master Tian Ji’s has always been extremely arrogant and he did have the capability to be arrogant, but this person before him was a sword cultivator whose cultivation was above his. Even if he had such reservations, he shouldn’t have voiced it out in his face, wasn’t this obviously wanting to offend him?

Yu Luan panicked, sure enough, the sword cultivator’s expression turned cold, just as he was about to say something to ease the situation, he was beaten to it.

“Speaking about motives… I do have one!” Yi Qing’s gaze fixed on Tian Ji, at once, suppression swept towards him. Tian Ji was startled and took an involuntary step back but heard the other party state word by word, “Earlier on, who said— that sword cultivators were useless!!”

Tian Ji: “…”

Yu Luan: “…”

Everyone: “…”

A guess surfaced in everyone’s heart in moments, could… he has come to Gui Yi Sect over this statement!

(⊙_⊙)

But Yi Qing ignored them, with a turn of his hand, he summoned a sword spirit. The next second, an overspreading Sword Qi surged towards Tian Ji as he said slowly, “The unconvinced, come fight!”

Everyone felt their legs begin to turn into jelly instantly, almost falling to their knees in the midst of this terrifying Sword Qi, not to mention Tian Ji who was facing this aura. His expression darkened at once, a sense of crisis that he had never felt before rose in his heart but he still responded coldly, “Do you think I’m afraid of you?” He was suppressed by the Sword Qi earlier only because he was caught off guard, did they really think he would lose?

“Hold on! Supremacies…” Yu Luan panicked, the battle between Soul Formation Supremacies weren’t like the usual, even if they wanted to fight, it shouldn’t be done here! He was about to urge them.

“You’re courting death!” Tian Ji had already summoned his artifact and charged over while the other party was unprepared.

Yet before he was anywhere close, an immense aura blasted towards him, he did not even have the time to react before he was thrown outwards. And landed on the white wall at the back with a thud. He felt his blood and Qi surging, the meridians in his whole body were snapped at every inch, a mouthful of blood spurt out.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, before they could even react, this battle had already ended. They did not even see how he struck and Tian Ji was already set in the wall.

The next moment, a creak sounded and a series of rumbles echoed. The entire great hall seemed to have been diagonally slashed into half as a good half collapsed, leaving the lower half and that white wall with Tian Ji in it.

It was evident that this strike was intentionally slanted, if it really landed on Tian Ji…

What terrifying combat power was this?

Σ(°△°|||)

In moments, Yu Luan and his little companions were stupefied, especially Shu Yi who was the closest to Tian Ji. Her face was deathly pale without a hint of blood. Others might be too far away to sense it but she knew that in that moment earlier, that Sword Qi swept right beside her face, if it was just slightly tilted, her head would be like the big hall behind them right now.

Although she’d transmigrated too many worlds, this was the first time she brushed past death so clearly. An unprecedented fear rose in her heart, she used all her energy before she barely managed to control herself from screaming out.
