Ch278 - Back to the Sect

Edited by Zaki

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu returned to Lingwu Sect without any untoward incidents.

The couple returned to the Pill Peak, only to find that the Pill Peak had activated a protective array, and they couldn’t get in at all. The two had no choice but to go to Xuanyuan Chen’s Palace.

“You, who are you?” Seeing the two strangers walking into the Palace, Bai Yunfei couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.

Seeing Bai Yunfei, Jiang Xu smiled. “Senior Brother, it’s me, I’m back.” Saying that, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng both tore off their human skin masks.

“Mufeng,XiaoXu, you are back. You? Have you advanced to the Spiritual Profound Realm?” Seeing the two, Bai Yunfei was overjoyed. However, noticing that both of them had advanced to the Spiritual Profound Realm, he couldn’t help being a little shocked. How long has it been? It has only been 158 years since the two of them left the sect. He didn’t expect them to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm so quickly.

“Yes, we are back.” Nodding, Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“Oh, we found some opportunities outside, it was just a fluke to advance.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said modestly, even though he andXiaoXu had left the sect for more than a hundred years, they were promoted to the Spirit Profound Realm in 158 years , which was still really fast when considering average cultivators.

“Oh, that’s how it is.” Looking at the two of them, Bai Yunfei thought to himself:These two Juniors must have found a great opportunity, otherwise it would be impossible to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm so quickly.

“Senior Brother Bai, what about the Sect Master and my Master? When we returned to Pill Peak, we found that the protective array was in place. Did something happen?” Normally, the protective array of the Pill Peak would not be used unless something had happened, so Liu Mufeng felt that there was something wrong.

“Master, Uncle and Junior Sister Xin‘er, went to the Shengtian Continent to look for you. Didn’t you come back together?” Looking at the two of them, Bai Yunfei asked in a puzzled tone.

“Master has gone to the Shengtian Continent?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu was at a loss.

“Five years ago, Junior Sister Helian received a letter from her family and learned that you had gone to the Shengtian Continent. After Master and Senior Uncle were informed of the news, they took a ninth-grade flying magic artifact, took Junior Sister Xin‘er, Junior Sister Helian, and Junior Brother Ye, and went to the Shengtian Continent to find you.” Bai Yunfei told the truth.

“Oh, so it’s like this.” Jiang Xu frowned deeply after hearing the news.

“Master and Senior Uncle have been away for five years.” Bai Yunfei said.

“No wonder we came back so smoothly. It turns out that the Sun Family went to the Shengtian Continent to look for us.” Liu Mufeng had been thinking about why didn’t the Sun Family stop them halfway. It turned out that the culprits had already gone to the Shengtian Continent.

“Senior Brother, is there a way for you to contact the Master?” Looking at Bai Yunfei, Jiang Xu asked anxiously.

“Yes, Senior Brother Bai, can we contact the Sect Master and my Master? It’s best to tell them that we are back, lest they wait for us in the Shengtian Continent.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng also felt that he should contact them as soon as possible.

“En, there is indeed a way to get in touch, follow me.” With that said, Bai Yunfei brought the two into the room.

Arriving in the room, Bai Yunfei waved his hand and sealed the entire room. Then, he took out a bronze mirror from his storage ring and placed it on the table. After waving his hand and making a series of gestures towards the bronze mirror, the bronze mirror immediately lit up with golden lights.

“Damn boy, who told you to use the spiritual mirror indiscriminately?” Not long after, Xuanyuan Chen’s image and the other party’s abusive words sounded from the mirror.

Seeing this scene, Liu Mufeng twitched the corners of his mouth, and thought to himself:This mirror is similar to modern video calls. It should be a powerful magic tool, otherwise, it would be impossible to contact people from such a long distance.

“Master, this disciple has something important to report.” Looking at his Master, Bai Yunfei said helplessly.

“Say it, hurry up, talking too long will break the Spiritual Mirror.” Xuanyuan Chen replied angrily.

“Master, Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother are back.” Saying that, Bai Yunfei pulled Jiang Xu who was beside him.

“Master.” Looking at his somewhat haggard-looking Master in the mirror, Jiang Xu called out softly and tears flowed down his eyes at once. In this world, apart from Mufeng, only his Master treated him the best. He actually went so far away to find him.

“Damn boy, you dead boy, you’re finally willing to come back.” Seeing Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen cursed again.

“Master, I miss you so much.” Looking at that familiar face, Jiang Xu’s eyes turned red, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

“Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet. Put out your arms and legs for me to see, have you been beaten by the Sun Family and are missing arms or legs?” Xuanyuan Chen asked sullenly while looking at Jiang Xu.

“No, no, I’m fine. Master, you don’t have to worry about me.” As he spoke, Jiang Xu hurriedly stretched out his arms and legs to show his Master.

“Hmph, who worries about you? I don’t care about your life or death. I’m just afraid that I will lose face if you die in the hands of the Sun Family.” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes.

Looking at his Master’s duplicity, Jiang Xu smiled. “Master, you and Senior Uncle come back quickly. I will never quarrel with you again, and I will never call you a stinky old man again. I will definitely listen to you and respect you.”

“Okay, I know, where is Liu Mufeng? Tell him to come over and show himself to your Senior Uncle. See if there are any missing arms or legs.” Looking at his apprentice, Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes were also a little red.

“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu immediately pulled his partner over.

“Mufeng.” Seeing the figure of his apprentice, Jiang Yuantu called softly.

“Master, this disciple was unfilial, causing your old self to go all the way to find me. It’s all because of my fault.” Seeing Jiang Yuantu’s figure, Liu Mufeng’s eyes turned red.

“Forget it, it’s good you are safe. After returning to the sect, don’t leave the sect for the time being. It will take five years for Xuanyuan and I to return to the sect. During these five years, you andXiaoXu must be more careful. The sect is not absolutely safe, and there are spies planted by the Zunhuang Sect, so you have to take care of yourself. Do you understand?”

“Yes, this disciple knows. I’ve made you tired.” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng had a guilty expression on his face.

“It’s okay, just treat it as me taking your Mistress out for fun.” After waving his hand, Jiang Yuantu said indifferently.

“Master…” Before Liu Mufeng finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound from the mirror, and Jiang Yuantu’s image disappeared in the mirror.

“Senior Brother, they disappeared?” Looking at Bai Yunfei, Jiang Xu spoke anxiously.

“It can’t be helped. The distance is too far. It’s good to be able to talk for a while. If you want to talk to them again, you may have to wait for a while until the mirror is repaired.” At this point, Bai Yunfei touched the mirror where a crack on the top had formed.

“I see.” Jiang Xu sighed helplessly.

“Two Juniors, there is no one in the Pill Peak right now. When the Senior Uncle left, he opened the protective array, and you won’t be able to get in. Why don’t you live here until they return? There are several courtyards here, and it’s deserted all the time. It’s strange for me to live alone, if you stay here, we Brothers can also be lively.” Bai Yunfei invited the two to come and live at the Sect Master’s Palace.

“No need Senior Brother Bai, I want to takeXiaoXu to the Gravity Mountain, where it is safer. Cultivators above the Spiritual Profound Realm would not be able to enter the mountain, and sinceXiaoXu and I are both in the Spiritual Profound Realm now, if we meet someone in the Spiritual Profound Realm, we will be able to deal with them. If we are outside, it would not be as safe as Gravity Mountain.” The Sect Master and his Master were not in the sect, so Liu Mufeng naturally had to be on guard. Moreover, even though Bai Yunfei wasXiaoXu’s Senior Brother, he did not completely trust him, so naturally he would not letXiaoXu live here with him.

“Yeah, Mufeng and I have just advanced recently. The Gravity Mountain is more suitable for us if we urgently need to consolidate our strength.” Jiang Xu also felt that it was inappropriate for him to live here. Even though they were both the Sect Master’s apprentices, however, both of their identities were different. It was already agreed upon when he was apprenticed to the Master that the Eldest Brother Bai Yunfei was the Young Sect Master who was going to take over the sect, and he was just a closed-door disciple who would inherit the Master’s mantle. Moreover, this Palace was always inhabited by the Sect Masters and Young Sect Masters since the past generations. So it was not suitable for him to live here.

“I see, that’s alright. The two Junior Brothers have been in the middle continent for so many years, and the spirit stones on your bodies must have been almost used up, right? Why don’t I help you buy the annual cards of Gravity Mountain.” Bai Yunfei kindly said.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Bai, but we still have spirit stones in our hands. Senior Brother, you don’t have to worry about it.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng politely refused.

“Then, all right.” Nodding, Bai Yunfei didn’t say anything else.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu bid farewell to Bai Yunfei, then left the Sect Master’s Palace together and went directly to the trading area. Liu Mufeng found Elder Qian, sold two-thirds of the sixth-level pills in exchange for a sum of spirit stones, and then bought some fourth-level and fifth-level demon beast meat and just went to Gravity Mountain.

The annual card on Gravity Mountain was 10,000 spirit stones. Liu Mufeng directly spent 100,000 spirit stones to buy a five-year card for him andXiaoXu, and then they entered the Gravity Mountain together.

After undergoing lightning tempering and spiritual fire tempering, the low gravity area of the Gravity Mountain no longer had any effect on Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, so the two directly crossed the low and medium gravity areas and went to the high gravity area.

When they reached the high gravity area, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu released Xiaoyue, Xiaoyuan and Feng Pianpian.

“Hey, what is this place? It’s hard for me to breathe.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the fourth heroine asked in a puzzled manner.

“This is the Gravity Mountain of the sect. The higher gravity is used to train the cultivator’s bodies. You may not be used to it for the first time, but if you stay here for a long time, you will get used to it.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng explained.

“This is a high-gravity zone? I didn’t feel the gravity was so heavy when I came here before.” Xiaoyue was in his beast form. In fact, He preferred his own beast form to move around rather than his human form.

“Yes, if the three of you are not used to it, you can go to the medium gravity area.” Liu Mufeng suggested to the three demon beasts..

“I have no problem staying in this area. Let the two of them go to the medium gravity area. They are not strong enough to withstand the gravity here.” Saying that, Xiaoyue looked at Xiaoyuan and Feng Pianpian.

“En, it’s okay, Xiaoyuan, you have stayed in the sect for a while, and you know the situation here better. Take care of Pianpian. The two of you go to the medium-gravity area first.” Looking at the pale complexion of the two demon beasts in human form, Liu Mufeng said to the two.

“Okay Master.” In response, Xiaoyuan took the fourth heroine and left together.
