Chapter 183 - 137: Xun Wind Spirit Body, Gongsun Zhi’s Regret!
Nameless Mountain.
This place is where Sunset Sect and Supreme Mystery Sect meet.
Ancient mountains and forests, desolate and without human habitation.
Today, however, there is a gathering of people here.
Fifth Elder is full of tension as he watches the group of people across from him.
All members of the Sunset Sect have now arrived, while on the Supreme Mystery Sect’s side, apart from him, there were only a few ordinary disciples left, the very same disciples who initially discovered this spiritual stone vein.
In such a situation, how could he not be nervous.
On the other side, there are four experts at the elder level. If they harbor any malicious intent, he feels that he wouldn’t be able to escape.
The other side.
The Sect Leader of Sunset Sect looked calm. As he had predicted, Guo Ran, with the support of the sect, had successfully broken through to the Spiritual Sea Realm.
Being in the Spiritual Sea Realm at the age of twenty-three was enough to secure their victory this time.
He was confident about this.
According to his understanding, Jiang Yuan’s strength is currently between the eighth and ninth levels of the meridian breaking stage.
Given such a great disparity, there was no way he could defeat Guo Ran.
Moreover, Guo Ran had also learned the Secret Technique of Flying, allowing him to potentially defeat his opponent before they could even react.
Simultaneously, he also learned the method of controlling objects with his divine sense. Under these circumstances, he did not understand how Guo Ran could lose.
From a superior position and commanding objects with his divine sense to kill his enemy, there was just no way he could lose.
In the distance, a silver light suddenly appeared.
It was incredibly fast, soaring over the mountain peaks in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the silver light in the far distance, the Fifth Elder of the Supreme Mystery Sect breathed a sigh of relief. The Sect Leader would be there soon, which was a good thing.
Among the crowd of the Sunset Sect.
Guo Ran watched the silver light in the distance, some excitement hidden in his eyes. His road to fame began today.
He really should express gratitude to Jiang Yuan.
If not for him killing Zhao Li, Elder Gongsun would not have been so generous in giving him so many resources to assist him in achieving the Spiritual Sea Realm.
A ray of light flashed in his hand, and a needle emitting a faint light appeared.
This was Elder Gongsun’s only request of him, to shoot this Soul-killing Needle into Jiang Yuan’s body during the competition and directly kill his divine soul.
Faced with such a simple request, he naturally agreed easily.
Being in the Spiritual Sea Realm and mastering the method of controlling objects with his divine sense, fulfilling such a simple request was nothing more than a trivial matter.
A person just at meridian breaking stage, how could he escape from the hands of someone in the Spiritual Sea Realm?
Killing the great enemy of the sect would not only win him the award from the sect but also earn him a favor from Elder Gongsun. Why would he refuse?
On the flying ship.
Lu Qingshan came to Jiang Yuan’s side: “How is it? Have you mastered the Concealment Technique?”
“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded, then said, “This little trick is simple, easy to comprehend.”
Faced with Jiang Yuan’s casual response, Lu Qingshan laughed: “It’s indeed simple for you. You could master it in just a few hours, but for ordinary disciples, it would take at least several days to barely grasp it.”
Then he added wistfully, “That’s the difference in talent!”
Faced with Lu Qingshan’s remark, all Jiang Yuan could do was smile helplessly.
His talent indeed surpassed all the so-called heaven geniuses, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come this far.
Next, Lu Qingshan pointed to the gathering place of the crowd in the distance: “Do you see that place?”
Jiang Yuan nodded. On that mountain, he saw a familiar figure.
Gongsun Zhi, the elder of the Sunset Sect. She was the one who had checked his talent with the letter of recommendation from Li Hong that day.
Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking about this,
Lu Qingshan said, “That spiritual stone vein is right under the feet of those people. If you win this competition, this mountain will belong to the Supreme Mystery Sect, and I can guarantee that two or three percent of the spiritual stones in it will be yours!”
Jiang Yuan nodded: “Thank you, Sect Master!”
Lu Qingshan secretly conveyed to him by transmitting his voice, “Remember, don’t make a move as soon as you enter. Wait until the other sect’s disciples have been eliminated, then you can step in to save the situation!”
“In this way, I can secure enough rewards for you!”
“You also know that the Supreme Mystery Sect is divided into seven branches, each of which is very demanding. Without a good enough reason, it’s hard to get the various chiefs to give in.”
Jiang Yuan, hearing this, slightly nodded: “Understood!”
Moments later.
The silver flying ship slowly stopped above the crowd.
“Lu Qingshan, long time no see!” The Sect Leader of Sunset Sect laughed.
“That’s right! Daoist Friend Ling Feng, long time no see!” Lu Qingshan paced smoothly in the voidness, slowly descending from the flying ship as if there were solid steps beneath his feet.
Jiang Yuan and the others also leaped down.
Lu Qingshan now stood in front of where the people from the Sunset Sect were.
“Sect Master Ling, we’re sticking with the old rules, right?”
Ling Feng nodded: “Of course, it’s only logical to let the younger generation represent our respective sects’ futures and decide the ownership of this spiritual stone vein.”
“After all, if we were to step in ourselves, things would inevitably escalate. If they were to escalate, both sides would suffer, and instead allow other sects to profit from our dispute!”
Lu Qingshan also chuckled: “My views align perfectly with Sect Master Ling’s, I too think it’s a great idea for the younger generation to decide the ownership of the spiritual stone vein!”
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
Then, Ling Feng, the Sect Leader of the Sunset Sect, turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan not far away.
His eyes suddenly locked onto Jiang Yuan, and he was somewhat unbelievable. He couldn’t see through his aura?
Lu Qingshan noticed his gaze and then glanced back at Jiang Yuan.
“Sect Master Ling, it would appear that you’re showing signs of doubt! Even going so far as to secretly observe my sect’s disciple!”
