Chapter 45: 045, [Invisible Force] (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarchs ‘Teacher Wolf’ and ‘I don’t complain’!)

The mountain wind blew, and Lu Xun was no longer meditating. He had recovered.


As for the other Outer Sect Disciples, they were sprawled out in all positions. That Xu Zhongcheng looked like a crab foaming at the mouth, he wasn’t broken, was he…?


A perfectly fine Outer Sect trial had ended just like that.


But it had to be said, this time, the Outer Sect Disciples really gave it their all. They performed better than the past few batches.


The best among them was certainly Lu Xun, who probably even broke the Outer Sect’s record. But since he wasn’t considered an Outer Sect Disciple, just tagging along for the ride, he wasn’t counted. The Green Pill reward was given to Ji Li instead.


“You did well.” Lu Xun praised her.


Ji Li was instantly on cloud nine, practically floating as she walked.


On the other side, at Evergreen Peak, Shen Yan was laughing heartily. He had bet on Ji Li to win, so he was the winner of this round.


“Worthy to be my chosen disciple!” Shen Yan thought to himself.


As for Yue Heshan… the Charitable Gambling King lived up to his name, destined to lose at every wager, like he was donating money.


However, when Shen Yan looked around at his fellow brothers, he saw thoughtful expressions on their faces.


Having been fellow disciples for many years, how could he not know what was on their minds?


They probably all had designs on taking Ji Li as their disciple!


As previously mentioned, once an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demon Sect was promoted to the Inner Sect, if they were favored by many senior masters, then the disciples would be given the choice, much like a talent audition.


Though Shen Yan was the Sect Master, he was terrible at teaching disciples. Not a single one under him had achieved any significant success. He was stingy, and his techniques had high risk. If one went astray, they could turn into a hairless freak…


On the other hand, the other Peak Masters were generous, skilled at teaching, and their techniques had fewer side effects, seemingly more attractive.


So during the disciples’ selection, he was never the popular one.


Ji Li was someone Shen Yan had long had his eyes on, and he even paid a heavy price—a tiny Flame Essence.


If she was taken, he would grieve for half a year!


Shen Yan fell into deep thought; he needed to come up with some solutions.


However, there was something more pressing to discuss for now.


Shen Yan cleared his throat and solemnly said, “There’s something that should have been discussed after the master returned to the Sect, but it seems the master has no intention of returning in the near future, so we’ll have to start discussing it now.”


Seeing Shen Yan’s serious expression, everyone unanimously said, “Please speak, Sect Master.”


“Do you all still remember the day when Little Junior Uncle jumped off the cliff, the invisible force on Lead Peak?” Shen Yan started.


Upon hearing this, the Peak Masters all became solemn.


On the day Lu Xun went through his trial, he took a stunning leap from Lead Peak. Mao Nanbei wanted to stop him, but was suppressed by an invisible force, unable to move at all.


They had all gathered at the bottom of Lead Peak after sensing this mysterious force, only to see Lu Xun, intact, yet bruised all over.


Shen Yan continued, “Why Little Junior Uncle could survive the cliff jump is his own secret. Since the master was willing to accept him as a disciple, it’s not something we need to worry about.”


“But that force appeared silently, and then disappeared just as silently… what do you all think?” he asked.


Logically, they should have tried to understand this sudden occurrence in the sect as soon as possible, but the master’s attitude was strange. He seemed indifferent to this matter, and even seemed to signal them to be patient.


If so, it was presumably harmless to the Demon Sect.


They initially planned to wait for the master to return to the sect to ask about it, but the master seemed to show no intention of returning at all.


Sima Chuan was the first to speak, “With our abilities, we could not perceive where that force came from. It’s indeed suspicious.”


Luo Wanqiu frowned slightly, “Don’t forget that it was Lead Peak, where the master’s leftover Sword Qi resides!”


“Yes, even the Sword Qi left by the master did not react, which is unusual.” Gongshu Pan, whose face was very dark, said.


Contrarily, Yue Heshan, the most eccentric Junior Brother, took a sip of tea, his eyes half-closed, “Dear Senior Brothers and Sisters, I have a thought.” “Stop beating around the bush, spit it out!” Gongshu Pan was an impatient man.


The usually nonchalant Yue Heshan became unusually serious, “We could not perceive anything about that power, which shows its mystery.”


“But what’s strange is that the master’s leftover Sword Qi did not react at all. So… could it be the master himself who made the move?”


At these words, everyone was startled.


This notion seemed unconvincing at first. But after some thought, it actually seemed the most plausible!


After all, although Yan Li was in closed-door meditation, he was not dead yet.


Eluding their Divine Sense, not alerting the Sword Qi remaining in Lead Peak, was already nonsensical.


Unless… the one who had taken action was truly the Master himself!


Once the topic was shifted to Yan Li, who was still in closed-door meditation, everyone dared not discuss further.


It seemed as if they had circled back to square one and had to wait for the master to return to the sect.


After some small talk, everyone went back to their own peaks.


Meanwhile, Lu Xun had also returned to the back mountain, still sent back by


Shen Yan.


The dignified Sect Master of the Demon Sect was now also a part-time driver, quite a hard life.


However, once Lu Xun completed the Qi Consumption Technique and officially entered the first realm, he could then learn to fly, which would be much more convenient.


Upon his return, Lu Xun locked himself in his room and checked his panel information.


The trial task was successfully completed, earning him 5000 Experience Points.


The first phase of the Reputation Value Task was also completed, awarding him another 10000 Experience Points and 1 Special Attribute Point.


Leveling up twice consumed 3000 Experience Points. His current Experience bar displayed: 12150/3000.


He was not in a hurry to level up, but continued to plan in his mind.


Experience Points were very precious. Besides leveling up Cultivation


Techniques, they could also be used in other ways. If he learned a


Swordsmanship Technique now, he could use Experience Points to increase its level.


In simpler terms, upgrading a Cultivation Technique is leveling up the character, while upgrading Swordsmanship is leveling up a skill.


He had his considerations and decided to save them for now. They would be useful in the future!


After a long night, the exhausted Lu Xun quickly fell asleep.


Barely after closing his eyes for a while, his breathing became rapid.


He quickly opened his eyes, all covered in cold sweat.


He was sweating… again.


The loving flogging by Second Sister had begun again!


“What a disaster!” Lu Xun howled.


He knew he wouldn’t be able to have a peaceful sleep for the time being.


The effects of [Enveloped in Sword Intent] were still in place, and he was cultivating even in his dreams.


Another round of flogging, yet another night.


That night, Lu Xun was “killed” 19 times.


(ps: Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch “Teacher A-Wolf” and “I-Dont-Snicker” for the rewards, two Hierarchs in one day, secretly delighted… Don’t stop the recommendation votes, please!)
