“Escaped so quickly!?”
Lin Qiubai landed beside Liu Ku's dismembered body, slowly surveying the surroundings.
Shang Feng had fled in advance, leaving no trace in the air for a hundred meters.
Lin Qiubai was quite surprised; he had only turned back on a whim, intending to kill Shang Feng once and for all.
However, unexpectedly, Shang Feng had anticipated this life-and-death situation and escaped with high intelligence within just over ten minutes.
Not a single breath was left behind, making it impossible for Lin Qiubai to find a direction to pursue.
“Indeed, she is the Destined Princess. I only distracted Yuan Chonghuan for a little over ten minutes, yet she managed to foresee my actions, using her powerful trump card to conceal her aura and successfully escape...
What a pity. If it weren't for the Demon of Insects falling into slumber, how could Shang Feng possibly deceive me right in front of my eyes?”
Lin Qiubai rubbed his temples.
Since she had escaped, he would have to resort to seizing Fortune instead; after all, Shang Feng was bound to die. Killing her directly wouldn’t yield any Fortune.
Although it was a bit troublesome...
With this thought in mind, Lin Qiubai lightly tapped his toes and vanished like a shadow from the scene.
A cup of tea's worth of time passed.
He quietly returned to Mountain Valley, cleaned the bloodstains, took a bath, changed clothes, and then stepped out of the Concealment Formation.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Lin Qiubai with some surprise, observing him closely before finally chuckling softly.
"In Wuxia Prefecture, we have a poem that goes like this: 'Accumulated stones like jade, pines lined up like emeralds. The beauty is unparalleled, unmatched in the world.'"
Yuan Chonghuan's sudden light laughter caused Lin Qiubai's expression to change, and he felt an inexplicable tightening in his heart.
Is there really such a bold move?!
Could this guy actually have a peculiar preference?!
"Ahem... Brother Yuan, let's head to the Cloud Hidden Sacred Sect together."
Lin Qiubai was extremely afraid of being targeted by the uniquely flavored Yuan Chonghuan.
He immediately transformed into a white shadow and vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared already a hundred meters away.
Yuan Chonghuan felt a stir in his heart and also activated his Movement Technique to quickly follow the shadow left by Lin Qiubai...
...
Ten days later.
Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the foot of the Cloud Hidden Sacred Sect.
The Cloud Hidden Sacred Sect stands tall amidst the Clouds.
Thirteen White Clouds, each imprisoned in the void by a great power.
Below the clouds, there are no buildings, only open space.
But above the clouds, thousands of pavilions and towers rise up, with lakes scattered like stars and gardens interspersed within the mist.
It resembles a fairyland.
Like over three hundred thousand tourists beneath the Sacred Sect, the two looked up in awe, their hearts filled with shock.
Such craftsmanship is truly praiseworthy.
"That should be the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang," the Spirit of the Artifact finally spoke after observing for a long time.
There was a complex emotion in its tone.
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang had already made a remarkable name for himself on the Immortal Yuan Continent ten thousand years ago!
His palace was constructed from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, suspended in the earth's core. Many martial artists went to loot it back then.
Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, it would be excavated by the Cloud Hidden Sacred Sect and used as the foundation of their sect? Indeed, the Great Wall still stands today, but where is Emperor Qin Shi Huang from back then?"
The spirit of the artifact sighed deeply.
The once-dominant figure who had swept across the entire Xianyuan Continent, it was unexpected that after death, even their tomb was excavated.
Hearing the familiar name of Qin Shi Huang, Lin Qiubai chuckled softly, as if recalling something, tears streaming down his face.
"Why is Brother Lin crying?"
Upon hearing Yuan Chonghuan's puzzled inquiry, Lin Qiubai smiled and shook his head, feeling a sense of loneliness that could only be mourned in solitude, not suitable for outsiders to know.
Seeing that Lin Qiubai was unwilling to elaborate, Yuan Chonghuan quickly changed the subject.
"The recruitment assessment of the Yunyin Sacred Sect has not yet begun. We can find a tavern nearby to stay for a couple of days before participating in the assessment."
"Brother Yuan is absolutely right."
Lin Qiubai immediately agreed. On one hand, he needed to recuperate, and on the other hand, he was eager to find a place to open treasure chests!
Having carried the treasure chests for so long, he was already desperate to open them!
He couldn't help but want to have a go!!!
Thus, the two reached an agreement and left the area beneath the Yunyin Sect, heading towards the residential district of the imperial capital.
In recent days, young prodigies from all directions had gathered, including many talents from neighboring countries, making the area around the Sacred Sect crowded and finding a tavern extremely difficult.
"You see that Tavern?"
Yuan Chonghuan suddenly pointed at the grand nine-story palace in the center.
Outside the palace, there was a striking red plaque.
"Lin Brother, this red plaque is a special custom during the Holy Sect's assessment period.
Some Taverns offer luxurious rooms. However, not just anyone can stay there. To gain entry, one must demonstrate corresponding strength.
This can be considered a warm-up for the Holy Sect's assessment.
All kinds of talents are very enthusiastic about competing for rooms. Every day, outstanding individuals travel to famous hotels, challenging strong opponents.
Thus, before the assessment begins, the rankings of these talents will be established through various challenges..."
Lin Qiubai's eyes lit up, and he laughed out loud; this free Tavern was an opportunity not to be missed.
"Brother Yuan, if you and I team up to secure a place to stay, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Haha, Lin Brother's thoughts align perfectly with mine."
Yuan Chonghuan wholeheartedly agreed. In such a bustling place under the Holy Sect, finding a good accommodation was akin to fishing for the moon in water.
This Tavern before them saved them the trouble of searching all over the imperial capital; they could check in directly.
As for strength...
The two of them, standing under the feet of the Holy Sect, had no difficulty at all in establishing their presence, let alone pushing aside all the other talents.
Of course, Yuan Chonghuan did not know Lin Qiubai's true strength at this moment.
He also had no idea about the abilities of this group of challengers, so he couldn't speak too confidently.
...
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Yuan Chonghuan wanted to squeeze into the crowd and then challenge, but he was lifted up by Lin Qiubai and directly soared over the crowd...
Then, they landed arrogantly in the open space at the front of the ninth floor Tavern.
"What the hell! Who is this?! Where did such an arrogant guy come from? How dare he be so reckless?!"
"Yeah, these two are really bold! They just jumped over us!"
Lin Qiubai turned around and shot a cold glance.
The noisy crowd was silenced by Lin Qiubai's chilling aura and penetrating gaze.
Yuan Chonghuan sensed Lin Qiubai's intention, paused for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this a bit too high-profile? After all, it's the Holy Sect, and there are countless geniuses. Being too ostentatious might..."
Lin Qiubai smiled lightly and interrupted Yuan Chonghuan's unease: "What are you afraid of? One comes, one suppresses; two come, two suppress. We'll go straight up to the ninth floor. Brother will take you to show off and soar."
Lin Qiubai suddenly stomped his foot, his body shooting up into the sky, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and his long hair dancing wildly.
Graceful and striking, with a domineering sharpness.
At this moment, the master of the ninth floor was pouring tea and softly reciting poetry.
She didn't take the challenge to heart at all.
This challenge also had its rules: the time for the ninth floor's challenge was one hour before sunset. Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan arrived just in time to compete directly.
"What?! Those two actually want to challenge the ninth floor directly!
The ninth floor is the territory controlled by Wuzhi.
The Sixth Young Master from The Thirty-Six Young Masters of the Imperial Capital!
Only someone with a screw loose would provoke Wuzhi, right?
Although the Tavern is protected by the Holy Dragon Guards, those two are bound to suffer serious injuries."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, feeling a deep sense of sorrow for Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan's ignorance.
