Chapter 166: Current Situation

In Lingyun's room, a space ripple suddenly appeared, and Lingyun's figure slowly emerged in the room.

"I'm back, though I don't know how much time has passed. Although the Space-Time Coordinate Ruoxi gave me before said it would be one week after I left this world, who knows if some error might occur!" Lingyun looked at the clock on the wall.

It was not that Lingyun did not trust Ruoxi, but because a Space-Time Coordinate accurate to a specific time frame was not something that could be easily created. The Space-Time Coordinate for the Sword Art Online world that Ruoxi had given him before was something she had spent several years creating! However, Lingyun did not know that the Space-Time Coordinate for this world that Ruoxi gave him did not come from her hands; someone else had created that Space-Time Coordinate.

"Hmm, it seems the time is not wrong; only one week has passed." Lingyun nodded slightly, then reached out his hand and opened a light gate.

Luo Yexi and the others walked out of the light gate, and Kirito looked around this unfamiliar place with some curiosity: "Is this place the world where you live, Lingyun?"

"That's right, this is the world where I live." Lingyun said with a smile. "Welcome to my world!"

"It doesn't seem to be much different from my world!" Asuna looked at the situation on the street through the window and said.

"My world was never much different from yours; it's just that our technology isn't as advanced as yours! It should be said that if our technology here progresses for a while longer, it will probably be on par with your world!" Lingyun waved his hand with a smile. "However, this is only the situation on the surface. Our world has the existence of the Dark World, and you might encounter it later!"

"That sounds quite interesting!" Yuuki's eyes were full of interest.

"However, in a world like this, our identities are a big problem!" Suguha brought up a very important issue.

"Don't worry about that; I have already communicated with the World Consciousness of this world regarding the identity issue, and she will mask your identities to a certain extent." Ruoxi, who was the last to walk out of the light gate, said with a smile. "As long as you cover up your hair color in daily life, it will be fine! As for your identities in the real world, just leave that to Brother!"

"Hmm, leave this to me. I can get your identities in this world sorted out in just ten minutes!" Lingyun smiled, then walked to the table and opened his computer.

"Lingyun, you can get our identities in this world sorted out within ten minutes?" Kirito said with some curiosity. "I didn't expect you to have such high attainments in this area!"

"Of course, you must not underestimate me!" Lingyun's fingers danced rapidly on the keyboard.

Watching Lingyun's practiced movements, the corners of Kirito's eyes twitched slightly: "Lingyun, you wouldn't happen to have done this kind of thing before, would you?"

"Hmm, you could say that. After all, the identities of Ye Xi, Saeko, and the others were all handled by me!" Lingyun finished his task quickly and then wiped away his traces on the internet.

"Brother, since Kirito and the others are visiting our world for the first time, why don't we take them out for a stroll? It will help them get familiar with this world!" Ruoxi suggested.

"That sounds good, let's go out for a walk!" Lingyun nodded slightly.

Just as Lingyun and the others were discussing how to go out and have fun, at the Beijing branch of the Tianyin Sect, Elder Chen was waiting anxiously in the main hall for someone to arrive.

Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the hall. A powerful force surged from the man's body, and wherever he passed, even the air felt faintly distorted.

"Subordinate Moyun greets Elder Kang!" Seeing this man, a look of joy appeared on Elder Chen's face, and he quickly walked up to the middle-aged man and bowed to him.

The Elder before him was an Inner Sect Elder whose strength had already stepped into the Heaven Tier, and he held a pivotal position in the Tianyin Sect. The Sect Master of the Tianyin Sect sending him to Beijing showed that the Sect Master still attached great importance to this matter.

"Moyun, are the things you mentioned in the letter you sent to the Sect Master true?" Kang Ding looked at Chen Moyun and asked.

"This was seen with their own eyes by my junior fellow apprentice and an Outer Sect Disciple, and my junior fellow apprentice is still lying in bed, his life or death still unknown!" A hint of hatred appeared in Chen Moyun's eyes.

"Oh? Take me to see him!" Kang Ding said.

"Please, Elder!" Chen Moyun turned around and led the way.

Soon, Kang Ding saw Elder Zhong, who was still in a coma.

After carefully examining Elder Zhong's injuries and calling Song Jie over to question her for a while, Kang Ding's expression could not help but darken.

"Elder Kang, what do you think of this matter?" Chen Moyun asked with some trepidation.

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think. I have already seen Yicun's injuries; an ordinary Innate Expert would absolutely be unable to achieve this level of damage while attacking from a distance. Before I came here, I discussed it with the Heavenly Elder, and he said that if someone can truly achieve this, it means that person has already gone very far on the path of the Innate realm. Even the Heavenly Elder would find it difficult to compare with them!" Kang Ding shook his head, his eyes full of gravity.

"How is this possible!" Chen Moyun's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

The Heavenly Elder was the head of the Tianyin Sect's supreme elders; half of the reason the Tianyin Sect held its current status among the many sects was because of him. But now that he had given such an evaluation of that unknown mysterious person, Chen Moyun could not help but worry, especially since Elder Zhong had already made an enemy of the other party.

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Moyun asked cautiously.

"The Tianyin Sect is not what it used to be. If we make an enemy of a mysterious and unfathomable Innate Expert, it will definitely not be a good thing. You take that girl named Song Jie and go apologize; you must obtain the other party's forgiveness. Our Tianyin Sect can no longer afford any more turmoil!" Kang Ding sighed and made his decision.

Regarding Kang Ding's decision, Chen Moyun fell silent. He also knew that the current Tianyin Sect was already in a precarious state; if it weren't for the Heavenly Elder holding things together alone, the Tianyin Sect would have long been carved up by the various sects eyeing it covetously.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" After a while, Chen Moyun gritted his teeth and said.

"Actually, we were in the wrong from the beginning. If Yicun hadn't forcibly tried to take that girl into the sect and even resorted to violence in the end, the other party would not have dealt such a heavy hand." Looking at Chen Moyun's appearance, Kang Ding also sighed.

Chen Moyun and Zhong Yicun were disciples of the same master; their relationship had always been very good, and they were objects of admiration within the sect. It was just a pity that Zhong Yicun's temperament was truly too aggressive; otherwise, he would not have caused so many issues.

"Rest assured, if this matter can be resolved, I will try to ask that senior to spare Yicun!" Kang Ding said.

A hint of joy appeared on Chen Moyun's face: "Thank you, Elder!"
