READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Visitors from the Lingyun Sect:
For cultivators, closed-door cultivation could last anywhere from a few months to a hundred years.
Three years passed in a flash while Gu Feng was cultivating.
During this time, his name had become something of a legend within the Zhengyuan Sect, and only a few had seen him.
“Senior Brother!”
A paper kite appeared before him, softly calling out.
Gu Feng opened his eyes.
This paper kite was used to transmit messages.
“What is it?” He asked calmly.
The aura of Dao surrounding him dissipated, and there was a brief pause before the voice of Bai Yuxiao responded, laced with a touch of excitement.
“Senior Brother, Master said that the secret realm is about to open. The people from the Lingyun Sect have already arrived.”
“Got it.” He replied.
A lot had happened in the past few years.
Bai Yuxiao had successfully become a disciple of Liu Fengqing. If it hadn’t been for Gu Feng’s intervention, this opportunity would have indeed fallen to Bai Yuxiao.
Although that young man had previously acted strangely toward him, after Gu Feng saved his life, Bai Yuxiao had become particularly respectful.
Gu Feng didn’t mind and didn’t hold any grudges.
With a single step, he appeared in the main hall of the Zhengyuan Sect.
His sudden arrival was accompanied by his dark robe and hair, half tied up, with the rest cascading down his back.
The disciples around him recognized him immediately, and greeted him: “Senior Brother!”
“So, this is Senior Brother?”
“Hello, Senior Brother!”
Gu Feng was somewhat surprised.
Since when did he have such a high reputation within the sect?
Seeing the respectful gazes from the disciples, he responded with a faint smile.
He then waved his hand toward the disciples, and a rich spiritual Qi surged toward them.
In an instant, the spiritual Qi in this area became even more abundant than that of the holy peaks.
“Thank you, Senior Brother!” A quick-thinking disciple immediately expressed his gratitude, and soon, a group of disciples sat cross-legged, beginning to cultivate.
After he left, other Zhengyuan Sect disciples noticed the dense spiritual Qi in the area and also sat down to cultivate.
So when the Lingyun Sect’s visitors arrived, they found the entrance to the Zhengyuan Sect completely deserted.
Ye Fan, walking with Ling Xue in the group, furrowed his eyebrow slightly at the sight of the empty Zhengyuan Sect.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what’s going on? Doesn’t the Zhengyuan Sect know we were coming today?”
Ling Xue shook her head in confusion. “We sent a flying message before we left. The Zhengyuan Sect should have been expecting us.”
How could there not be even a single outer disciple here?
“Let me send another flying message.” said Ouyang Yuxiong, who was walking beside Ling Xue.
A small flying sword slipped from his hand.
Gu Feng casually caught it, and saw a small jade-like sword fall into his palm.
‘Ouyang Yuxiong of the Lingyun Sect is here to visit the Zhengyuan Sect. We are currently at the mountain gate. May we enter?’
Gu Feng then remembered that when the secret realms opened, several major sects usually ventured in together.
It seemed the representatives from the Lingyun Sect had already been chosen.
Come to think of it, this part was also written in the novel.
So, Ye Fan and Ling Xue would be here this time as well?
“Please wait a moment.” Gu Feng said to the jade sword.
He then took a few steps and arrived at the mountain gate.
Looking up, he saw the group standing before the entrance.
The Lingyun Sect’s robes were pure white, giving them an ethereal, immortal-like appearance.
Moreover, cultivators usually had skin like jade.
So, when this group stood together, they were especially pleasing to the eye.
Gu Feng walked up to them casually, as if on a leisurely stroll.
“You all must be from the Lingyun Sect.”
He wasn’t wearing the robes of the Zhengyuan Sect, but that didn’t prevent Ouyang Yuxiong from recognizing his voice.
Ouyang Yuxiong nodded slightly toward Gu Feng. “Lingyun Sect. Ouyang Yuxiong.”
“Zhengyuan Sect. Gu Feng.”
Gu Feng’s gaze swept over the Lingyun Sect members.
Sure enough, Ye Fan and Ling Xue were among them.
He showed no sign of recognizing them.
But when Ye Fan saw Gu Feng, his expression changed slightly.
However, thinking of his current status as an inner disciple of the Lingyun Sect, he couldn’t help but lift his head a bit higher.
“Please follow me.” Gu Feng said as he took the lead.
The disciples were all cultivating in the main hall, so he was the only one available.
He figured he might as well lead the way.
That was his thought process.
But the members of the Lingyun Sect didn’t see it that way.
“Where are all the people from the Zhengyuan Sect? Why has it taken so long for just one person to come out and greet us?”
A disciple walking behind Ouyang Yuxiong suddenly complained.
They had traveled a long way, only for the Zhengyuan Sect to ignore them completely. It was as if they didn’t care about the Lingyun Sect at all.
“The disciples are all cultivating.” Gu Feng replied calmly.
“Then please lead the way, Brother Gu.” Ling Xue suddenly spoke up.
Everyone from the Lingyun Sect was taken aback.
Ling Xue was known as the cold beauty of the Lingyun Sect. How could she be speaking so easily to a little-known figure in the Zhengyuan Sect?
And it seemed like the two of them knew each other!
Ouyang Yuxiong looked back and forth between the two.
With a smile, he asked, “Junior Sister Xue, do you know him?”
“Only met her once before. We don’t really know each other.” Gu Feng answered before Ling Xue could speak.
Hearing this, Ling Xue felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
Even her bright eyes seemed to dim a little, but this scene did not go unnoticed by the others.
Many of them sensed something was amiss.
