Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Is this the Grand Thunder Sect?”
Yun Xi asked as she looked at the mountain range that stretched for 5,000 kiloters.
“Yes.”
From the conversation just now, she had already learned that the middle-aged man’s na was Liu Mu, and he was a core elder of the Grand Thunder Sect. His status was rather high. If Feng Qi had not run out of the sect this ti, Liu Mu would not have personally taken action.
In addition, because this continent had similar strength to the Spirit Central World on the surface, the Great Sage Stage was already the limit. In other words, in their understanding, there was no Great Void Stage expert.
Otherwise, why would Liu Mu be so angry when he saw Feng Qi being killed?
Of course, after Yun Xi had used the level nine Holy Spirit Fruit as compensation, that anger had already dissipated.
What was worth ntioning was that the Grand Thunder Sect was one of the top five super factions on this continent. Not only did they have a Great Sage Stage expert holding down the fort, but they also occupied an enormous mountain range with extrely abundant cultivation resources. All cultivators below the Saint Stage could cultivate twice as fast with half the effort.
Therefore, the entire Grand Thunder Sect was built on this mountain range. As far as the eye could see, there were palaces and pavilions. So stood on the mountaintop, so were planted halfway up the mountain, perfectly blending with the surrounding environnt. In short, from the outside, it was very beautiful.
Regarding this, Yun Xi and Qin Xiao didn’t appear to be too surprised. After all, the two of them had long gotten tired of such luxurious palaces.
“Please follow .”
Liu Mu flew towards the mountain peak not far away.
Not long after, the three of them landed in front of a palace. Liu Mu bowed and said, “The two of you can rest here for a mont. I’ll inform the servants to prepare food.”
Yun Xi’s eyes lit up when she heard about food. “Bring a few pots of spirit wine along the way.”
“Yes.”
Liu Mu was stunned for a mont before turning around to agree.
He never expected Yun Xi to actually make such requests. However, this wasn’t important because everything would end soon.
After leaving the palace, Liu Mu did instruct a few people to prepare food, but he imdiately headed deeper into the Grand Thunder Sect.
“Eh? Old Liu, you’re back. Where’s Feng Qi?”
Along the way, he encountered another Grand Thunder Sect elder, a white-haired old man. He frowned and blocked Liu Mu.
“Dead.” Liu Mu said casually.
“What?”
The other party was shocked. “Feng Qi is dead? What happened?”
“Hmph, I don’t have ti to explain to you.”
Pushing the old man away, Liu Mu said in a deep voice, “Where is the Sect Master?”
Realizing that sothing was wrong, the old man did not continue asking and answered seriously, “The secret room…”
Before he could finish speaking, the air tore apart, and Liu Mu instantly disappeared from his original spot.
Seeing this, the old man was stunned. He hesitated for a mont and hurriedly followed.
“Sect Master, I have sothing to report.”
Outside the secret room, Liu Mu knelt on one knee with an extrely respectful attitude.
“Didn’t I say that no matter what happens, no one is to disturb during my seclusion?”
After a long silence, a hoarse and impatient voice sounded from the secret room.
“I found a grade nine Saint Spirit Fruit.”
Liu Mu went straight to the point.
“What?”
In the next mont, the door to the secret room shattered with a bang, and a warm and refined young man with pitch-black eyes walked out. His aura had shockingly reached the Great Sage Stage. He was the current sect master of the Grand Thunder Sect, Xu Hui.
“Are you sure it’s a grade nine Saint Spirit Fruit?”
“I’m sure.” Liu Mu took out a spirit fruit and said firmly.
Taking the spirit fruit, Xu Hui carefully observed for a mont and said in disbelief, “This… is indeed a grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit, and the quality is excellent.”
At the sa ti, the old man who followed over widened his eyes in disbelief, revealing dense heat.
Just like Liu Mu, the old man had been at the Grand Saint Stage for many years. If he could obtain a level nine Sacred Spirit Fruit, he would definitely be able to break through directly!
“Where did you find it?” Xu Hui asked impatiently.
Apart from helping a Grand Saint Stage expert advance to the Great Sage Stage, the grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit could also be used to refine various grade nine pills to increase one’s cultivation. How could the young man not want to reach a higher realm?
Hearing this, Liu Mu did not hide anything and directly explained the entire process.
I can’t believe this woman could just casually take out a grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit…”
After hearing Liu Mu’s description, Xu Hui pondered. “Where’s that woman?”
“I brought her back and she’s in Tranquil Heart Hall.” Liu Mu said.
“You did well.”
Patting Liu Mu’s shoulder, Xu Hui said coldly, “Close the sect protecting formation and cut off all contact with the outside world. No matter where they co from, they can forget about leaving the Grand Thunder Sect today.”
“Yes!”
Liu Mu smiled as if his plan had succeeded.
In fact, when he obtained the grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit, Liu Mu had already wanted to make a move on Yun Xi. In his opinion, since Yun Xi had a grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit, she definitely had a second or third one. However, he still decided to restrain himself in the end.
The reason was extrely simple. Since Yun Xi was able to easily kill Feng Qi, it proved that her cultivation was absolutely not inferior to a Grand Saint Stage expert. Liu Mu didn’t have the confidence to win, so he could only try to bring Yun Xi back to the Grand Thunder Sect by invitation before making a move. However, he didn’t expect Yun Xi to agree so easily.
As for Yun Xi being an expert above the Great Sage Stage, Liu Mu had never even thought about it.
Rumble!
As Xu Hui gave the order, the entire Grand Thunder Sect shook slightly. The sect protecting formation that no one had dared to attack for more than a thousand years slowly closed, forming an indestructible barrier.
“What happened? The sect protecting formation actually closed!”
“Could it be that another faction is attacking?”
“How is this possible?!”
“…”
Such a huge commotion imdiately attracted the attention of countless Grand Thunder Sect experts. So disciples had nervous expressions, thinking that they had been attacked by other factions.
In the palace, Yun Xi, who was eating and drinking, suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked up at the sky. “Interesting.”
“What’s wrong, Aunt Yun?”
Qin Xiao put down the food in her hand with a curious expression.
Perhaps it was because it was usually more comfortable, Qin Xiao was very oblivious and did not notice the abnormality at all.
“Nothing.”
Yun Xi said aningfully, “Looks like we were indeed tricked by soone else.”
Before Qin Xiao could react, Yun Xi waved her hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. I hope they don’t court death.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xi picked up the roasted at by the side and stuffed it into her mouth.
It had to be said that the food here was extrely delicious. At least, it was countless tis better than what Yun Xi had made herself. Even Qin Xiao ate happily.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
At that mont, Liu Mu walked in and smiled.
“Are the two of you satisfied with our hospitality?”
“It’s not bad.” Yun Xi took a sip of spirit wine and said indifferently.
“In that case, you will need to pay.”
Liu Mu was still full of smiles.
“Pay? Pay what?”
Yun Xi was stunned.
“These foods are all made with various heavenly treasures. Fairy, you’re not planning on eating and drinking for nothing, right?”
Liu Mu’s expression instantly changed.
“Tell what you want.”
Yun Xi couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
“Ten grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruits.”
Liu Mu stretched out his finger and thought for a mont before saying, “No, twenty. I just want twenty grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruits.”
“Oh, is your pitiful food worth twenty grade nine spirit fruits?”
Yun Xi sneered.
She might not care much about cultivation resources, but it did not an that others could extort her as they pleased.
“If Fairy is unwilling, don’t bla us for being impolite.” Liu Mu said coldly.
Liu Mu’s eyes narrowed as they flickered with a dangerous light, and he didn’t intend to explain at all.
