Chapter 43

"My lady, you should rest early too, we have to climb the mountain tomorrow," Elder He said to the girl.

The girl nodded, gently stroking Little Wuyue, and lay down beside her fully clothed.

Beside them, a dozen guards had already divided their duties and were taking turns keeping watch.

The night passed without incident, and soon it was dawn the next day.

Elder He was the first to open his eyes, only to find Du Shaoyuan beside him, his eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Luo Tian not far away.

"Didn't sleep all night?" Elder He asked him.

Du Shaoyuan nodded mechanically, then said: "I can't figure it out."

Elder He glanced at Luo Tian, who was still sleeping, and sighed: "There's nothing to figure out. You have to know that there are some monsters in this world that cannot be measured by common sense. As long as you hold onto your original heart and cultivate steadily…"

Du Shaoyuan interrupted: "Then I can surpass him?"

Elder He was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm afraid not."

Du Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "Then isn't it the same?"

Elder He shook his head: "Of course it's not the same. As long as you don't slack off in your cultivation, although you can't surpass him, you will always be a little stronger than you were yesterday! Shaoyuan, you have to know that martial arts cultivation is essentially not about being stronger than others, but about surpassing the self in your heart."

Du Shaoyuan rolled his eyes at Elder He: "Fine, Elder He, I've drunk this bowl of chicken soup."

Elder He smiled awkwardly, knowing that although Du Shaoyuan hadn't completely walked out of his mental block, he had at least started to understand.

"Ah… is it dawn?"

On the other side, Luo Tian opened his eyes and stretched.

"Young Master Luo, please prepare yourself, we will set off immediately!" Elder He said.

"Good." Luo Tian also nodded.

"Woo!"

Just then, a whimper came from beside the girl.

The Star-Eyed White Fox, Little Wuyue, opened her eyes.

"Eh? What an interesting fox!"

Luo Tian also saw Little Wuyue and leaned over to watch carefully.

On the other side, Little Wuyue was sleepy-eyed and slowly opened her eyes.

Yesterday was simply too unlucky for her.

Not to mention the long journey, she also kept encountering experts.

One had to know that the Star-Eyed White Fox was very sensitive to the aura of experts.

Especially the young man she encountered last.

Little Wuyue felt uncomfortable all over whenever she thought of that guy.

But fortunately, waking up today, she wouldn't have to see him again.

As a result, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Tian's face right in front of her.

"Awoo!"

With a scream, she fainted again.

"Little Wuyue!" The girl exclaimed and immediately began to rescue her.

"Hmm? What's going on? Is this little guy so timid? Was she scared by something?" Luo Tian was confused.

Everyone present looked at him speechlessly.

Scared by something?

Of course, she was scared by you!

"My lady, let's go!" Elder He said helplessly.

The girl nodded, and while shaking and rescuing Little Wuyue, she set off.

At the same time, inside the Guiyuan Sect.

At this moment, the entire sect was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Countless Guiyuan Sect disciples, holding weapons, stood in their positions according to the formation, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

On the jade steps in front of the main hall, five people stood side by side, each emitting a powerful aura.

Below the jade steps, a young disciple secretly looked outside the main hall and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother, who are those people beside Sect Master Ling Xuzi?"

The Senior Brother beside him glanced at him: "You've only been on the mountain for three years, it's normal that you don't know them. That middle-aged Daoist beside the Sect Master, his Daoist name is Ling Fei, he has been leading elite disciples to train outside the sect for the past few years, so you haven't seen him."

The young disciple was shocked: "Uncle-Master Ling Fei? I've heard of him, he is one of the three great Mystic Penetration Realm cultivators of our Guiyuan Sect!"

The Senior Brother nodded: "That's right! The other female Elder beside the Sect Master, her Daoist name is Ling Yue. But she has lived in the back mountain of the sect for many years, researching sect secret arts, and rarely goes out. Let alone you, I've only seen her three or five times in the dozen years I've been on the mountain."

The young disciple's eyes widened: "Uncle-Master Ling Yue? The other of the three great Mystic Penetration Realm experts? Counting the Sect Master, all three great Mystic Penetration Realm experts of our Guiyuan Sect have come!"

The Senior Brother snorted: "And that's not all! Do you see that scholar on the left? That person's nickname is Ghost Calculator, he specializes in divination arts and is also a great cultivator at the 1st Stage of the Mystic Penetration Realm!"

"And that big monk is Master Yuan Tong, the head of the Fumo Temple, who has at least the cultivation of the 3rd Stage of the Mystic Penetration Realm!"

After hearing the Senior Brother's words, the young disciple's face showed excitement.

"Five Mystic Penetration Realm experts sitting in town? Then the enemy coming today is surely doomed, right?"

The Senior Brother said smugly: "That's for sure!"

Hearing his words, the other disciples around also showed relaxed expressions.

But on the other side, on the jade steps.

Ling Yue had a worried expression.

"Everyone, do you really think the five of us can stop that demon?" she asked hesitantly.
