Chapter 313

"Fifth on the Top Ten List, how can that compare to Brother Jiang's first?" Xu Yang smiled.

"If you were..."

Jiang Fan was just about to say that if you hadn't hidden so deeply and revealed your minor success stage of Marrow Cleansing cultivation earlier, this first place on the Top Ten List would be yours.

Because he knew that before he himself reached the minor success stage of Marrow Cleansing, Xu Yang had already reached it. Even if he exposed it now, it was actually only exposing a part. Fifth on the Top Ten List didn't match Xu Yang's true talent at all. Xu Yang's true talent should be first on the Top Ten List.

But before he finished speaking, the strange treasure on him started to heat up.

"This is..."

Jiang Fan was horrified in his heart.

The strange treasure on him, strictly speaking, didn't sense the cultivation realm of people approaching him, but sensed whether they posed a life threat to him.

Ever since he himself reached the minor success stage of Marrow Cleansing, when he approached Xu Yang, this strange treasure had no reaction to Xu Yang. He hadn't expected that today the strange treasure would have a reaction again.

Having a reaction meant that Xu Yang could threaten his life.

"Major success stage of Marrow Cleansing?"

This was his first thought. Xu Yang had reached the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing, which was why this strange treasure had a reaction to Xu Yang again and warned him.

But he thought about it and felt it was impossible to be this fast. Marrow Cleansing was a gradual process. No matter how good the talent and how many resources, it was impossible to reach the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing in such a short time.

But if it wasn't the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing, what made Xu Yang become a threat to him again? Some powerful martial arts reached perfection, or had he cultivated martial arts imagery?

"Brother Xu is truly amazing." Jiang Fan finally let out a sigh, not rashly asking Xu Yang.

"The foundation of the Marquis's mansion is truly not simple."

Xu Yang naturally saw Jiang Fan's expression changing again and again, understanding in his heart that Jiang Fan should have discovered that his cultivation had greatly improved.

His Breath-Restraining Technique was operating at all times, and even people like Elder Huoyun couldn't see his depth, yet Jiang Fan had discovered it so quickly.

The three of them went to the dining hall together!

After eating and walking out of the dining hall, Gao Lin found him.

"Junior Brother Xu, prepare yourself. You must set off for Moon Lake by tomorrow at the latest."

Gao Lin had come to tell Xu Yang that he was going to Moon Lake to guard it.

"Okay!"

Xu Yang nodded and thought for a while, saying: "Senior Brother Gao, going to Moon Lake this time, the only thing I'm worried about is my sister Xu Qing. When I'm not here, please help look after her a little. Junior Brother will remember this favor."

There were quite a few people who didn't get along with him. Most of them couldn't do anything to him, but he was afraid that these people would have crooked thoughts about Xu Qing after he left the Purple Sun Sect.

Gao Lin smiled: "We are fellow disciples; no need to say these things. I have some friendship with the first disciple under Elder Changchun. I'll find time to go find him and say hello in a few days, guaranteeing that no one will dare to make things difficult for Junior Sister Xu."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gao!" Xu Yang hurriedly bowed.

With the first disciple under Elder Changchun looking after her, he could rest assured.

As long as Xu Qing wasn't kicked out of Medicine King Peak by connections, it wouldn't matter if she suffered some grievances. He would calculate it slowly when he came back.

"By the way, Master wants you to go to his place before you go to Moon Lake," Gao Lin added.

Xu Yang didn't pick a time. After separating from Gao Lin, he immediately rushed to Elder Huoyun's main hall.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

On the gilded chair, Elder Huoyun slowly put down the book in his hand: "I punished you to go to Moon Lake. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Xu Yang bowed: "Disciple wouldn't dare. Disciple knows Master is doing it for my own good."

Elder Huoyun smiled and nodded: "It's good that you can understand this point. Guarding the sect's industries is the duty of every disciple. Even without this matter, at most in a month or two, Heavenly Pivot Peak would have sent you to guard other places.

Martial arts is not closing the door to build a car. Go out more, experience fighting, and you can better temper your will."

For the matter of nearly a month, his anger had subsided quite a bit, mainly because he had been paying attention and found that after Xu Yang exchanged for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula, he didn't seem to be messing around blindly.

After exchanging for a Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, there was no follow-up. For a month, he had been practicing diligently every day.

Sending Xu Yang to Moon Lake wasn't a decision made in a fit of rage. For a martial artist to grow into a true expert, not only did they need talent and resources, but they also had to experience the tempering of blood and fire.

Even someone with Jiang Fan's status would often go deep into the Yunling Mountains to temper himself. If Xu Yang had always stayed in the comfortable environment of the Purple Sun Sect, he would sooner or later fail to keep up with the pace of his peers.

"Disciple understands!" Xu Yang bowed again.

It wasn't easy for him to explain, so whatever Elder Huoyun said was what it was.

Anyway, at most he would stay at Moon Lake for three to five months before he could come back, and he didn't have to stay in that place for a lifetime.

"Catch!"

Elder Huoyun suddenly flicked his long sleeves, and a blade on the table in front of him shot toward Xu Yang.

Xu Yang grabbed it with five fingers, holding the blade steadily. The black blade sheath was already covered in pulp, and he didn't know how much blood it had stained, emitting a bloody black.

He looked at Elder Huoyun in confusion.

"This blade is called Red Blood. It was my personal blade when I was in the Marrow Cleansing realm, stained with countless blood. Leaving the sect, there is danger everywhere. Now I give it to you for self-defense, hoping you can return safely," Elder Huoyun smiled.

Xu Yang grabbed the hilt with five fingers, and only heard a crisp sound like a dragon's roar, as if a blood light shot out from the blade sheath. In an instant, the air was filled with cold evil spirits.

The blood-red blade body seemed to have been soaked in blood all along. Xu Yang felt the temperature around him drop sharply, and a bloody smell came to his nose.

"Buzz buzz..."

The blade body trembled, constantly emitting crisp sounds, and the blood-colored light seemed to want to spread from the blade body.

This was surprisingly a precious blade at the semi-spiritual weapon level, and its fierce aura seemed to be even better than the Cold Abyss.

"You can actually resonate with Red Blood. It seems it is very suitable for you," Elder Huoyun smiled.

Xu Yang didn't hypocritically decline, hurriedly bowing: "Disciple thanks Master for the blade."

The Cold Abyss was ultimately not something that could be seen by others. Even though the Su family had now fallen apart, it was ultimately a family with a heritage of over a hundred years. Who knew if there were any hidden old monsters or any outstanding disciples practicing outside?

And things like killing and exterminating a family were better left unknown.

He wasn't alone. Others couldn't do anything to him, but they could find Xu Qing to take revenge.

With this Red Blood, he could use a semi-spiritual weapon openly in the future.

"Red Blood was the first semi-spiritual weapon I forged, and later it became my personal weapon. After my cultivation reached Heaven Origin, I forged it again. This blade can be called top-tier among semi-spiritual weapons. You must not tarnish its prestige."

Xu Yang said solemnly: "Disciple will strictly follow Master's teachings."

For these old fogies, he had plenty of experience. No matter what they said, you just had to say yes.

Elder Huoyun nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go. I have already said hello to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. You can go once to collect the Top Ten List rewards for three months.

When you go to Moon Lake, don't be slack. You don't need to come to me to say goodbye. After you are ready, set off directly."

Xu Yang bowed: "Thank you, Master. Disciple takes his leave."

Bidding farewell to Elder Huoyun, he came directly to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, collected three hundred contribution points and six Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills, and then returned to the courtyard.

The contribution points were saved to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit or Dragon Whisker Root in the future.

He intended to take all six Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills to Moon Lake.

As for the remaining eight Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills, he thought about it and decided to take six with him, leaving the remaining two to exchange for the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill after he returned.

And he estimated that after using these six Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills, he should also reach the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing.

"Find the little girl to say goodbye, and tell her to find Senior Brother Gao if she encounters trouble, then leave."

Carrying the pills, carrying the Red Blood, and taking everything he needed to take, he went down Li Huo Peak.

Xu Yang had left the Purple Sun Sect!

Not long after, the news that he had been punished by Elder Huoyun to guard Moon Lake because he exchanged for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula spread throughout Li Huo Peak.

Many people were not surprised. If it were their own disciple who did such a mixed-up thing, beating him up would be light. Elder Huoyun said it was a punishment, but the purpose was to let Xu Yang go out to temper himself, which couldn't be called a punishment at all. It was clearly to let Xu Yang experience fighting, temper his will, and prepare for the second dragon ascension.

"Finally left!"

In the Weapon Forging Pavilion, Luo Xin's killing intent suddenly became hot.

Xu Yang clearly wanted to fight him to the death. What he feared most was Xu Yang staying in the Purple Sun Sect all the time like in the outer sect.

If he really waited for Xu Yang to reach the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing or Heaven Origin, he would only have to wait for death.

For a period of time, he had been waiting for the opportunity for Xu Yang to leave the Purple Sun Sect, to kill Xu Yang in the cradle in advance. What could fifth on the Top Ten List do?

Anyway, it was a result of either you die or I die. Fighting for it gave him a chance to survive; not fighting meant he could only wait to be killed in the future.

"Genius, if you die halfway, you are not a genius. It's a pity you don't know how to endure, showing your sharp edge before you grow up."

Luo Xin quietly withdrew from the Weapon Forging Pavilion, returned to his courtyard to prepare, and soon went down Li Huo Peak.

He was also at the minor success stage of Marrow Cleansing and had no confidence in killing Xu Yang.

But it didn't matter. Recently, he had been secretly inquiring about Xu Yang's situation, knowing that in the Autumn Water Villa battle, Xu Yang broke one of Yun Feng's arms, and also knowing that when he was in the outer sect, Cao Jin of Beast King Peak had once threatened to kill Xu Yang.

And Li Chuyang had also had conflicts with Xu Yang.

Wang Jianxing of Medicine King Peak had come to apologize that day but was driven away by Xu Yang without giving him face, so he should also want Xu Yang to die.

He alone had no confidence, but if he united four or five people at the minor success stage of Marrow Cleansing, a Top Ten genius could still be killed.
