Chapter 59

In the grand hall, the chaotic scene from just now had left everything in disarray.

At this moment, the vast majority of people had already retreated. Apart from the corpse of Mo Fanlong, only Ye Zhong and Su Yu remained in the hall.

Ye Zhong sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand covering his mouth, and as he coughed slightly, blood trickled out from between his fingers.

"Ye Zhong, are you alright?"

Ye Zhong shook his head slightly. After taking a healing pill from his Qiankun Ring, his complexion improved somewhat.

During the confrontation with Pang Jie, he hadn't suffered any major injuries. However, when Ye Zhong forcibly activated the Asura Sword Seal at the end, it caused his internal qi and blood to reverse, resulting in some internal injuries. Fortunately, it wasn't a serious issue.

"What do we do now?" Su Yu was also slightly worried. Although everyone else had retreated, this didn't mean that the Inherent Sacred Hall's inheritance had fallen into their hands. If Su Yu's guess was correct, the others would likely gather reinforcements as quickly as possible and try to intercept them outside. No matter what, they wouldn't give up on the Inherent Sacred Hall's inheritance so easily.

"There's no time to rest. We need to leave as quickly as possible, or we might not be able to leave at all." Ye Zhong frowned. He naturally understood Su Yu's thoughts. Only by bringing the inheritance golden book back to the Star Constellation Sect could they truly be safe. Otherwise, as long as they didn't return to the Star Constellation Sect, those people wouldn't give up.

"Alright, let's leave this place first. I'll try to contact the powerful figures of our Star Constellation Sect to come and protect us." Su Yu nodded. Since they had completed the sect's superior mission, they could now try to contact the sect.

"Let's go."

Ye Zhong didn't say any more unnecessary words. He directly crushed his Inherent Token, and the space in front of him distorted. The two figures disappeared simultaneously.

When everything returned to normal, they found themselves outside the Qingxuan Mountains, far away from the ruins of the Inherent Sacred Hall.

This made both of them slightly relieved. This way, their chances of successfully returning to the sect had increased significantly.

"What about Xiang Qiyu and the other three girls?" Ye Zhong scanned the surroundings and then spoke softly.

"For now, we don't need to worry about them. With Song Shaochen and Rong Tian there, no one would dare to harm them. As long as they don't stay with us, their safety should be fine. Let's hurry." Su Yu shook her head and then waved her hand. The two of them didn't hesitate and quickly chose a direction to dash out.

However, things went more smoothly than they had expected. It seemed that many people thought Ye Zhong and Su Yu would stay in the Inheritance Hall to cultivate after obtaining the Inherent Sacred Hall's inheritance, so no one pursued them along the way.

At first, this made the two of them quite suspicious, but after confirming that no one was chasing them, their speed increased to the extreme.

...

A month passed quickly. During this journey, Ye Zhong's internal injuries were fully healed thanks to the large number of healing pills he had obtained.

On this day, under Su Yu's lead, the two of them, after a long journey, finally arrived within a hundred miles of Wuxiang City.

A massive city sprawled across a plain, like a fierce black beast, watching over everyone. The green walls towered into the clouds, possessing an extremely terrifying defensive power.

Looking from a distance, one could see a dense crowd of people, like ants, moving at the city gates of Wuxiang City.

Gazing at this city, which was larger than he had imagined, Ye Zhong was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that such a large city existed in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Wuxiang City is known as the first city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's said that even the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yanjing, is not half as large as Wuxiang City. Moreover, Wuxiang City is the outer area of our Star Constellation Sect's headquarters. Here, countless forces and powerful figures gather, making it extremely prosperous. In Wuxiang City, as long as you have enough spirit points, you can basically get anything you want." Perhaps because they were close to their destination, Su Yu was in a good mood. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she pointed at the massive city and spoke.

"Our Star Constellation Sect's headquarters is located on Xiang Mountain in the center of Wuxiang City, essentially a city within a city. However, unless you are a disciple of our Star Constellation Sect, anyone who intrudes will be killed on the spot."

"Don't worry, with this girl leading the way and your status as an inner disciple, no one in the Star Constellation Sect will dare to bully you."

As she finished speaking, Su Yu waved her hand, and their speed increased again.

About half a day later, the two of them finally arrived at the base of the towering city walls. However, Su Yu didn't queue up like the others but led Ye Zhong to a side gate near the main gate. After showing her spirit point card, they entered Wuxiang City without any hindrance, under the respectful gazes of the guards.

The moment they entered Wuxiang City, a bustling noise surged from all directions. Gazing at this city, which was more prosperous than he had imagined, Ye Zhong couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't expected that the headquarters of the Star Constellation Sect would be in such a place.

"Our Star Constellation Sect is considered half the master of Wuxiang City. As long as those people don't enter our sect, we won't interfere with them. So, if you get into trouble in Wuxiang City and can't solve it yourself, just hide in the sect." Su Yu said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong was slightly stunned but then understood. It seemed that the Star Constellation Sect treated Wuxiang City as a training ground for its disciples. After all, such a mixed place was a good place to cultivate disciples.

After walking through the massive city for a while, Su Yu led Ye Zhong into an ancient street. The moment they entered the street, a solemn atmosphere spread out, and the noise of Wuxiang City was completely blocked out, as if they were in two different worlds.

"Is this a spirit talisman array?" Ye Zhong's gaze fell on the golden light canopy that faintly covered the sky, and he murmured thoughtfully.

It seemed that the Star Constellation Sect was somewhat beyond his expectations.

...

Xiang Mountain was a large hill that wasn't particularly high but was immense. Various large buildings were scattered across the hill, with an extremely grand atmosphere. In various places on the hill, many people were cultivating, creating a solemn and reassuring atmosphere.

Under Su Yu's lead, the two of them walked along a small path and arrived at a large square in the middle of Xiang Mountain. On the square, numerous grand halls stood tall, and countless figures could be seen entering and exiting. Most of these people were disciples of the Star Constellation Sect.

Seeing Ye Zhong's gaze, Su Yu said calmly, "Most of these people are outer disciples, and some are even registered disciples. They don't have the qualifications to enter the inner courtyard. However, they can enter places like the Spirit Technique Hall, Spirit Pill Hall, and Mission Hall. Among these people, there are some particularly troublesome ones, so you need to be careful."

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhong frowned. Was there danger in the Star Constellation Sect?

"The number of inner disciples in our Star Constellation Sect is extremely small, but only inner disciples can obtain the most cultivation resources and cultivation grounds. The spirit techniques in the Spirit Technique Hall are also open to us without any restrictions. However, outer disciples are heavily restricted in the Star Constellation Sect. Therefore, many outer disciples are quite dissatisfied with us inner disciples." Su Yu said with a hint of oddity, "Moreover, according to the rules of our Star Constellation Sect, if an outer disciple can defeat an inner disciple in an official setting, they can take the inner disciple's status. This is the only way for outer disciples to advance. Every year, a few inner disciples lose their status this way, so you'd better be careful."

"The Star Constellation Sect is quite interesting." After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Star Constellation Sect, Ye Zhong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the Star Constellation Sect was somewhat beyond his expectations.

As they spoke, under Su Yu's lead, the two of them arrived at a grand hall at the edge of the square. Su Yu clearly had a great deal of influence in the Star Constellation Sect, so her appearance drew the attention of many people.

Under these gazes, the two of them quickly entered the Mission Hall.

The Mission Hall was extremely large. Inside, numerous large crystal screens floated in the air, displaying detailed mission descriptions. As long as you had the strength, you could take on any mission and receive a reward.

However, most of the missions here were low-grade missions, with only a few intermediate missions, and even fewer superior missions.

Seeing this unique scene, Ye Zhong smiled slightly. The Star Constellation Sect was indeed quite interesting. He wondered if completing this superior mission with Su Yu would be considered a big deal.
