Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Big Mistake

Leaving Medicine God Valley, Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered some words spoken by the Venerable Northern Shadow and immediately took out his phone to dial Jiang Lichun’s number.

“Didn’t I say not to call me unless it’s an emergency?” As soon as the call connected, Jiang Lichun’s complaints could be heard.

Ignoring his complaints, Li Xiaoyao directly asked, “Have you heard of the Cultivation World?”@@novelbin@@

“The Cultivation World?” Jiang Lichun fell silent for a few seconds before asking, “Where did you hear about the Cultivation World?”

“So, you know of it?” Li Xiaoyao’s heart leaped with joy—the most terrifying thing wasn’t parting from life or death but the inability to see hope.

The origins of the Venerable Northern Shadow were a mystery, and even more so were cultivators like Li Xiaoyao, whom he had never even heard of before. However, thankfully someone knew of it, and with that, Li Xiaoyao was determined to understand it fully. Regardless of whether he could go there now, at the very least he needed to know what kind of place it was.

“Where are you now?”

“I’ve just left Medicine God Valley.”

“Then come to see me. It just so happens I need your help with some matters.” Not giving Li Xiaoyao a chance to refuse, Jiang Lichun said, “As a trade for telling you about the Cultivation World, you must help me this time.”

“Where is Xuan Sect? I’m on my way now.”

…

Xuan Sect was roughly seven hundred kilometers away from Medicine God Valley. Li Xiaoyao, standing on a flying sword and accompanied by Nie Xiaoqian, headed there, looking very much like a pair of immortal lovers.

Nie Xiaoqian stood on the flying sword, feeling the warmth that came with each of Li Xiaoyao’s breaths behind her, her cheeks slightly flushed.

The seven hundred kilometers were crossed in the blink of an eye. From afar, they could see the ancient buildings built along the mountain deep in the wilderness.

The flying sword descended, and the two of them made their way up from the foot of the mountain, making the rugged mountain path seem as flat as a plain.

Between Xuan Sect and the base of the mountain was a winding trail. Two sect disciples stood guard at the gate, and upon seeing the sudden appearance of the two, one disciple asked without expression, “Who are you two?”

“I am Li Xiaoyao. Jiang Lichun should have mentioned me to you,” Li Xiaoyao said.

“Li Xiaoyao?” The two disciples looked at each other and then shook their heads, saying, “Never heard of him.”

“Never heard of him?” Li Xiaoyao frowned and said, with a hint of impatience, “Go inside and report my arrival. Just say Li Xiaoyao has come; Jiang Lichun will then tell you who I am.”

“Hmph, kid, this is Xuan Sect, not a place for you to show off. Clear off,” the disciple scoffed. The youngster looked to be in his early twenties—how could he possibly know the Sect Leader?

“I am Li Xiaoyao, an honorary elder of Xuan Sect. Step aside.” When the softer approach failed, Li Xiaoyao declared his identity and attempted to force his way through.

The two of them became angry upon seeing his intention to force entry, reaching out to grab his shoulder, ready to teach this youngster a lesson. But their palms had not yet touched Li Xiaoyao when they felt a formidable power release from his body, sending them reeling back several steps and landing on the ground with a thump.

“How dare you cause trouble in my Xuan Sect?” The disciple quickly got up, glaring and bellowing.

The other disciple had already taken out a signal flare, threw it upwards, and with a bang, it exploded, creating a beautiful display of colored lights in the sky.

Disciples inside, who were engaged in cultivation, heard the commotion and looked up, immediately saying, “Someone is trying to break into Xuan Sect!”

“Who is so bold as to dare break into Xuan Sect?”

Xuan Sect had hundreds of disciples; not counting those in secluded cultivation, there were still over three hundred who were now quickly heading towards the main gate.

Li Xiaoyao and Nie Xiaoqian stood at the entrance, while the two named disciples, weapons in hand and tense, stood inside, ready to fight at any moment.

“What’s going on?” A sharp reprimand came from the crowd, and a handsome young man stepped forward briskly and came beside the two disciples to inquire.

The disciple pointed at Li Xiaoyao, saying, “They want to force their way in.”

“Who dares to trespass the Xuan Sect so recklessly?” The man furrowed his brows, his gaze scanning the faces of the two, and when he saw Nie Xiaoqian, he couldn’t help but pause in surprise.

Such a beautiful woman was rare in this world. Evaluating the cultivation level of the two, one had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, and the other had no trace of spiritual energy fluctuations, likely a mere mortal.

Believing he had seen through their cultivation levels, the man felt confident and stepped forward, demanding, “Why do you two dare trespass upon the Xuan Sect without permission?”

Li Xiaoyao inwardly felt troubled, regretting not having Jiang Lichun wait for him at the entrance if he had known it would be so problematic.

“I am Li Xiaoyao, an honorary elder of the Xuan Sect. Take me to see Jiang Lichun,” Li Xiaoyao repeated, restraining his impatience.

“Honorary elder?” The man’s expression turned strange, and then he burst into loud laughter, “I am the third disciple under a branch master of the Xuan Sect hill, how come I’ve never heard my master mention about an honorary elder like you?”

“Why bother talking nonsense with him?”

“Capture them and bring them to the sect leader.”

Surrounded by a host of disciples like the stars encircle the moon, the third disciple felt quite honored and slightly proud. He gestured downwards with his hand, saying, “Everyone, keep calm. In my opinion, we should bring them to see my master for him to deal with.”

“Right, third senior brother is correct,”

“Take them to see the sect leader.”

The third disciple’s words sparked a chorus of agreement, and a few disciples stepped forward, saying, “Come, follow us to see the sect leader.”

“Aren’t you claiming to be some honorary elder? If so, then follow me. Let’s see how the sect leader exposes you.”

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, feeling no real anger in his heart. Arguing with a group of juniors would only diminish his own stature.

Once he met with Jiang Lichun, the whole truth would come to light.

The third disciple personally led the two toward the center of the sect, and it had to be said, the Xuan Sect truly was imposing.

A platform over a thousand meters wide, bristling with all sorts of weapons, alongside numerous spots rich in spiritual energy for cultivation.

This Xuan Sect must have a history of several hundred years, otherwise it definitely wouldn’t possess such a vast and abundant foundation as it did now.

More than three hundred disciples surged towards the sect leader’s mansion like a tide. Inside the main hall, Jiang Lichun was discussing important matters with Ye Qingcheng, the successor of the Life Pulse.

Ye Qingcheng, true to her name, had a beauty that could topple empires, with gentle eyes and a demeanor that set her apart. Dressed in a plain rice-white gown, she contrasted sharply with the world’s glitz and glamor.

That faint expression seemed as if nothing in the world could perturb her tranquility.

“What’s happening outside?” Ye Qingcheng asked softly upon hearing the noise, her voice so faint that you could barely hear it if you were not paying attention.

Jiang Lichun frowned, swung open the hall doors, and the clamorous din immediately flooded the drawing room.

The third disciple, named Yuan Li, was leading the way at the front. Arriving outside the hall, he stood and respectfully bowed to the two inside, saying, “Master, two people attempted to trespass into the Xuan Sect and were stopped by us. One of them claims to be an honorary elder of our sect and has been captured to await your judgment.”

Jiang Lichun’s gaze had already pierced through the crowd and seen Li Xiaoyao; hearing his third disciple’s words, the corner of his mouth twitched with a bit of speechlessness.

This really was a huge misunderstanding.

The surrounded Li Xiaoyao looked at Jiang Lichun with a half-smile. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he said with a slightly angry tone, “Old Jiang, is this how you treat your guests?”
