Chapter 729 - Qin Shenwu
At the same time, she was taken as a direct disciple by the current Valley Master of Thunderclap Valley, Yun Yizhen.
According to Shen Ruyan, the current Valley Master was the strongest in terms of cultivation and strength in the history of Thunderclap Valley.
No one in the entire sect was his match.
Most importantly, the physique of this Valley Master was also a Five Lightning Dao Body.
It’s clear that having him as Shen Ruyan’s master was indeed a great help to her.
This genuinely made Jiang Chengxuan happy for her.
As for his side, that Qin Shenwu who had declared he would take him as a direct disciple, had yet to come out of seclusion.
It’s unclear how much longer Jiang Chengxuan needed to wait.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan was reading Shen Ruyan’s letter,
On one of the main peaks of Haoran Sect, the Shenwu Peak.
A man with a composed demeanor and a hint of scholarly aura suddenly walked out of a cave abode.
Immediately, a young man dressed in black and white robes came forward and bowed in greeting.
“Greetings, Shifu.”
The scholarly man smiled and nodded.
“How is everything? Was all well during the years of my seclusion?”
Zhao Tianfan, the young man in black and white robes, nodded in response. “Shifu, during the years you were in seclusion, nothing major happened to Haoran Sect.
Apart from Senior Sister Xie encountering some conflicts with people from Five Elements Heavenly Sect and Eternal Sword Sect during an exploration of a secret realm, there were no other matters.”
“Did Xie Xiangyao suffer any losses?”
The scholarly man suddenly asked.
Zhao Tianfan immediately shook his head with a smile.
“That didn’t happen.
On the contrary, in that conflict, Senior Sister Xie even managed to gain some advantages.”
“Is that so?”
A slight smile appeared on the corner of the scholarly man’s mouth.
“Then it’s all good.
By the way, how’s that disciple of mine doing?
After keeping him waiting for ten years, has he shown any signs of dissatisfaction or unhappiness?”
When Qin Shenwu suddenly brought up Jiang Chengxuan, Zhao Tianfan was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face as he responded, “Shifu, from what I’ve observed and understood, the junior brother doesn’t seem to have any feelings of discontent or dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, I think he seems to be quite leisurely enjoying his time on Cloud Mist Peak.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing Zhao Tianfan’s words, Qin Shenwu, the scholarly man, also showed a bit of interest.
“Let’s go then. Since I’ve come out of seclusion, it’s only right for me to personally meet him.
Let’s head to his location on Cloud Mist Peak together.”
“Huh…?”
Zhao Tianfan was slightly surprised but quickly caught on.
Was this another instance of his Shifu’s eccentric hobbies acting up?
For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for his new junior brother.
At the same time.
On Cloud Mist Peak.
Jiang Chengxuan was feeding a spiritual medicine pill to an elk in front of him.
Yes, this elk was the same snow-white elk that had first approached him with a fruit upon his arrival.
Jiang Chengxuan had named it Little White.
The pill he was feeding it was something he had casually refined over the years.
After consuming the pill Jiang Chengxuan offered, the elk’s body immediately emitted a faint spiritual light, exuding a gentle fragrance.
It approached Jiang Chengxuan, nuzzling his arm affectionately and making happy sounds before darting into the nearby woods.
In no time, it returned with a large pile of colorful spiritual fruits.
However, before it could reach Jiang Chengxuan, it was shocked to find the fruits levitating away towards two figures nearby.
Witnessing this, Jiang Chengxuan, who had been paying attention to the elk, was also surprised.
He quickly looked in the direction from where the fruits were taken.
There, standing not far from him, were two people who had appeared unnoticed.
One of them, a man with a scholarly bearing, was stuffing those spiritual fruits into his mouth one by one.
This scene immediately made the elk anxious.
It kept snorting and rushing towards the two scholarly men.
However, no matter what it did, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of it, preventing it from advancing even slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression became solemn.
Earlier, he had not sensed that someone had arrived at the peak he was on.
Even the protective array of Cloud Mist Peak had not reacted to the arrival of these two individuals.
It’s worth noting that the protective array he had on Cloud Mist Peak was no ordinary one.
Even an ordinary Void Returning Divine Lord would not be able to appear in front of him without triggering the array.
In that case, the identity of the people could almost be guessed.
They were either Dao Integration Holy Lord or Void Returning Divine Lord who had reached the Celestial Radiance Realm.
Pffft!
However, just then, the scholarly man who was eating the spiritual fruits suddenly spat a fruit core in his direction.
Swoosh!
The fruit core cut through the air, its powerful force causing ripples in the surrounding void.
Jiang Chengxuan’s face instantly changed.
The Five Elements Aureola appeared above his head in an instant.
There was a clang.
A dent immediately appeared on the Five Elements Aureola.
What?
This caused his pupils to instantly contract.
Before he could react further, several more fruit cores flew towards him from the sky in succession.
Jiang Chengxuan was dumbfounded.
What in the world was going on?
Such powerful beings were actually doing this…
Buzz!
In an instant, a hazy green light surged up.
It was Jiang Chengxuan’s intrinsic Pure Yang treasure, the Eastern Green Dragon Flag.
Even so, he was not reassured.
At that moment, Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He instantaneously cast dozens of Level 6 defensive spells.
Then came a series of thuds.
Those fruit cores, as if they were endowed with some terrifying power, made his Level 6 defensive spells crumble like eggshells under a bullet.
In just an instant, all those defensive spells were breached.
Only the defensive light screen transformed from the Eastern Green Dragon Flag managed to block them momentarily.
But it was just that, a momentary block.
Soon, the defensive light screen from the Eastern Green Dragon Flag dissipated with a pop.
The remaining fruit cores, still with undiminished power, went whizzing past Jiang Chengxuan’s body.
