Chapter 46: Azure Cloud Sect Has Produced a Dragon

"What? Destroy the Xiao Clan?" the Grand Elder and Fifth Elder, upon hearing this, were both startled.

The Xiao Clan's strength is not inferior to that of the Azure Cloud Sect, and moreover, behind them there is an old ancestor who has been in seclusion for a long time. They looked at Lin Yang and asked, "You really mean it?"

Lin Yang nodded: "Really."

That Xiao Clan's young master, Xiao Huo, could shout "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the poor youth," and according to his obedient disciple Li Yilan, Xiao Huo also had a Yao Lao guiding him from behind; he therefore knew this person must not be spared.

Now he can easily kill a Great Saint Late Stage expert, and it's time to set out to destroy the Xiao Clan.

Seeing Lin Yang so resolute, the Grand Elder didn't say anything more.

After all, at the Azure Cloud Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony earlier, they had also heard about the Xiao Clan and Li Yilan's affair.

That Xiao Clan had stolen the supreme treasure from Li Yilan's family, killed her parents, imprisoned her in a dog cage, fed her dog food, and even drained her blood; this grudge was indeed like a thorn in the back.

Lin Yang wanted to avenge his disciple; destroying the Xiao Clan was both reasonable and justified.

After a few moments of thought, he said: "Alright, tomorrow morning at the sect square, I will hand over the Azure Cloud Bell to you and also provide some experts to go together; is that okay?"

Lin Yang said: "Grand Elder, just lend me the Azure Cloud Bell; as for manpower, I alone am enough."

"No!" the Grand Elder said with a solemn face: "Although your strength is now formidable, we both understand the principle that a single chopstick breaks easily while a bundle of chopsticks is hard to break—more people mean more strength, don't you know?"

Moreover, you are now the pillar of the Azure Cloud Sect; nothing must happen to you, so you must follow my arrangements.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lin Yang could only nod in agreement.

Thus.

The Grand Elder and Fifth Elder exchanged a few brief pleasantries with Lin Yang, then planned to leave to select personnel.

However.

Just then, an egg actually rolled out of the Grand Elder's pant leg.

This scene happened to be seen by the Fifth Elder standing nearby.

"Grand Elder, your egg fell."

Upon these words,

The Grand Elder also sensed it, and his face instantly darkened.

"Damn it!"

"That's your egg."

The Fifth Elder didn't dare to retort, hurriedly reaching to grab the egg, but as soon as he extended his hand, the egg swooped and jumped into Lin Yang's hand.

Lin Yang was stunned.

Looking at the egg, resembling a meteorite with an uneven surface, he turned to the Grand Elder and Fifth Elder and said: "This…?"

The Grand Elder hurriedly explained: "That's the Fifth Elder's egg."

The Fifth Elder, startled, explained: "My egg is still here; that's not my egg."

Upon hearing that!

Lin Yang became even more puzzled; what kind of nonsense is this, so whose egg is this exactly?

The Fifth Elder exclaimed: "This egg is something I obtained from the Blood Demon Sect……"

Then he told Lin Yang the full story of how it came to be.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang immediately handed the egg to the Fifth Elder.

"I don't want anything from the Blood Demon Sect."

After all, the Blood Demon Sect refines using living humans; this thing is definitely unclean.

The Fifth Elder's face darkened, and he immediately passed the egg to the Grand Elder: "I don't want it either."

"Hey, you guys?" the Grand Elder was momentarily speechless, as if this made it seem like he wanted it.

He looked at the Fifth Elder, who promptly dodged, then looked at Lin Yang, who was also looking around; evidently none of them wanted it.

Thus, he had no choice but to be the sucker; however, he was curious—this egg was clearly placed in his storage ring, so how did it fall out?

Just then.

With a swoosh, the egg flew once again into Lin Yang's hand.

Lin Yang hastily threw the egg to the Fifth Elder, who also hastily tossed it to the Grand Elder.

But as soon as the Grand Elder caught it, the egg swooped and fell back into Lin Yang's hand.

Lin Yang was just about to go another round.

But the Grand Elder stopped him.

"Stop!"

"I can see that this egg is especially fond of you; you keep it for your own research."

Lin Yang was unwilling and insisted on returning it to the Grand Elder.

But the Grand Elder said: "This is an order."

"Accept it!"

Thus.

Thus, the egg ended up in Lin Yang's hand.

Lin Yang felt utterly bitter in his heart.

…………

Swoosh!

At this moment!

A powerful sword light sliced through the sky, peerless sword qi, steadily landing before Lin Yang.

That was a woman, namely Li Yilan.

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Li Yilan spoke loudly, bowing without arrogance or humility.

Lin Yang nodded, looking at Li Yilan, the sword cultivator who had just broken through; she once resembled dust-covered unpolished jade, clear and cold, but now her whole body emanated sword qi like frost, her grace unmatched.

"Not bad. It's been a few days, and you seem like a different person. It looks like you gained a lot at the War God Hall."

"I've made some progress, but I still need to work harder." Li Yilan replied modestly while respectfully presenting the Sect Master's token.

Lin Yang accepted the token and nodded again in satisfaction.

This girl, originally a person of bitter fate, the injustice of destiny and the torment of misfortune did not breed any demonic intent in her heart. On the contrary, as her cultivation level rose, her state of mind improved as well, making her seem more and more like a little adult.

"Good, quickly go greet the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder." Lin Yang said.

"Disciple Li Yilan pays respects to the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder." Li Yilan bowed politely to greet them.

However.

After she finished speaking, the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder did not respond with a single word.

Li Yilan raised her head, glanced at them furtively, then spoke even louder: "Disciple Li Yilan pays respects to the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder."

They still did not respond.

Lin Yang looked up and saw the two staring blankly at Li Yilan, their mouths open in astonishment as if they could fit a fist inside.

"Elder, my disciple is paying her respects." Lin Yang nudged the two, indicating they should stop staring blankly.

The two then came to their senses and hurriedly said.

"No need for formalities, no need for formalities."

However, the look of surprise on their faces had not diminished at all.

The Grand Elder pointed at Li Yilan and asked Lin Yang: "Don't tell me this girl used ten thousand li of spiritual power to establish her foundation, that little girl we gave a gift to in the Elder Council Meeting Hall?"

"Yes, what's the problem, Grand Elder?" Lin Yang asked curiously.

"You ask if I have a problem? I have a huge problem."

The Grand Elder gave Lin Yang a sideways glance and said: "I remember that back then she had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage; now she can fly on her sword, and moreover, the terrifying sword aura on her body is probably not even matched by some elders."

"Girl, hurry up and tell me what realm you've reached."

Li Yilan glanced at Lin Yang, and Lin Yang nodded at her.

She then said: "In reply to the Grand Elder, Disciple has just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"Holy shit!"

Before the Grand Elder could speak, the Fifth Elder beside him jumped up and shouted, startling the Grand Elder next to him badly.

"Damn it!"

The Grand Elder glared angrily at the Fifth Elder and scolded: "Can't you be a bit more civilized?"

Then.

"Damn it!"

The Grand Elder grabbed Li Yilan's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "Girl, you're incredibly fierce."

You should know that the earliest breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm in the history of the Azure Cloud Sect was achieved by the Peak Master of Sword Peak, Yunchen, but it took him two months.

Yet this girl, having joined the sect for less than half a month, has already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

That's too brutal.

"Our Azure Cloud Sect has produced a dragon."
