Chapter 274: Uncle-Master Jin

After a dizzying sensation of the world spinning, the scene before Wang Yu's eyes changed, and he and the bone boat suddenly appeared in mid-air.

At the moment of emerging, the white arrow phantom on the back of his right hand also dissipated and vanished silently.

He swept his gaze and discovered the massive vortex above and four Foundation Establishment cultivators stepping on flying artifacts in the surroundings.

Among them, a Foundation Establishment man wearing the Four Symbols Sect attire looked at Wang Yu, who had just flown out of the vortex, and said gently:

"This junior fellow disciple, after coming out, first find a place to rest below; don't block those behind from coming out. In addition, if you want to calculate temporary merit points and sell the harvest from the secret realm, you can go to that house over there for unified exchange."

"Many thanks to Uncle-Master for the guidance; I will go down right away." Wang Yu looked in the direction the man was pointing and replied with a bow.

Following that, he urged the bone boat beneath his feet and landed directly on an open space in the center of the four sects' camp.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this junior fellow disciple of yours seems not ordinary." An old man wearing a yellow robe with a silver "Bamboo" mark engraved on it said suddenly after Wang Yu had gone far away.

"Oh, why does Brother Long say this? This junior fellow disciple looks like he only has late-stage Qi Refinement cultivation." The man surnamed Li asked with a slight smile.

"Need you ask? Being able to retreat unscathed from the Jialan Secret Realm with only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivation, and without losing an arm or a leg—if this can't explain everything, what can?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator who looked like an old man from the Thousand Bamboo Sect said indifferently.

"It could also be that this junior fellow disciple just had good luck and didn't encounter any strong enemies in the secret realm." The man surnamed Li thought for a while and replied this way.

"Hehe, just good luck? He wouldn't have even snatched a Demon Sect flying boat and dared to use it openly in the secret realm. Ordinary inner disciples wouldn't dare to do such things." The old man chuckled.

"Listening to Brother Long say this, this junior fellow disciple truly seems somewhat unusual." The man surnamed Li appeared as if he had just realized it.

The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jin Gang Temple and the Sunset Sect also showed a hint of strangeness on their faces.

Wang Yu naturally didn't know that he had been gossiped about by the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He landed the flying boat on the ground, formed a seal with one hand, shrank the bone boat to a miniature size, put it away in his storage bag, and headed straight for the two temporary wooden houses nearby.

In the nearby camp, some figures could vaguely be seen walking around. The number wasn't too large, but most were silent, and occasionally there were groups of two or three talking in low voices.

The two wooden houses he was going to were clearly much larger than other houses, and each had a wooden plaque hanging at the door, written with the words "Jin Gang Four Symbols" and "Thousand Bamboo Sunset" respectively.

The doors of the two wooden houses were open. Two male disciples wearing Thousand Bamboo Sect attire walked out of one wooden house and happened to bump into Wang Yu.

Wang Yu's footsteps paused, originally wanting to avoid them.

As a result, once one of the Thousand Bamboo Sect male disciples saw Wang Yu's appearance clearly, he was shocked, pulled his companion to step aside first, and then cupped his fists respectfully:

"So it is Wang Li Shixiong Yu. Congratulations to Wang Li Shixiong for retreating unscathed from the secret realm."

"Oh, you recognize me?" Wang Yu swept a glance at this Thousand Bamboo Sect disciple, vaguely feeling that he had indeed seen him somewhere before.

"The day Li Li Shixiong displayed great power at the secret realm medicine garden and killed two great Demon Sect true disciples, it truly greatly boosted the prestige of our four sects." This Thousand Bamboo Sect disciple replied cautiously.

The other Thousand Bamboo Sect youth also changed color upon hearing this and similarly bowed and became restrained.

"So it is a junior fellow disciple who participated in the Medicine Garden Battle. After separating that day, have you seen Li Li Shixiong Tian Junzi again?" Wang Yu realized upon hearing this, his heart stirred, and he asked casually.

"As for Li Li Shixiong Tian, after parting that day, I haven't seen him again. But later I heard that the Demon Sect Foundation Establishment swept the central area of the secret realm, and two true disciples fell within it. Whether Li Li Shixiong Tian was among them, I am not clear." This Thousand Bamboo Sect male disciple thought for a while and replied honestly.

"I hope Li Li Shixiong Tian is fine. I will go in first to exchange merit points; you two go ahead with your own business." Wang Yu nodded, bowed slightly, and walked into the door of the other wooden house.

The two Thousand Bamboo Sect disciples then nodded repeatedly and left.

"Junior Fellow Disciple Xun, is this the fierce person you mentioned who killed two Demon Sect true disciples in one battle?" Another Thousand Bamboo Sect disciple couldn't help but ask his companion after walking a bit further away.

"If it isn't this fierce person, who else could it be? Don't look at this Wang Li Shixiong as if he is only late-stage Qi Refinement; the terror of his strength is fundamentally not something we ordinary disciples can imagine. The key is that this person is not even a true disciple of the Four Symbols Sect!" This "Junior Fellow Disciple Xun" sighed and said.

"Then the Four Symbols Sect is hiding somewhat deeply this time. Then tell me again about the situation that day, and this time tell it in more detail. Tsk tsk, since this person has come out of the secret realm safely, I fear he will become famous among the four sects before long." The other Thousand Bamboo Sect youth clicked his tongue and said.

"More than just famous among the four sects; I fear he will also be famous among the three Demon Sects, and ordinary Demon Sect disciples will avoid this person from afar in the future." The youth surnamed Xun replied with extreme envy.

At the same time.

Wang Yu, who had already entered the wooden house, twitched his ears slightly, turned off Overclock mode, and could no longer hear the conversation of the two Thousand Bamboo Sect disciples. Instead, he bowed to the two people sitting behind a certain table in the wooden house and said:

"Two Uncle-Masters, disciple Wang Yu, here to hand over the Demon Sect disciple identity tokens."

The two people behind the table: one had a withered and sallow face, but his eyes were shooting with essence, wearing a red cassock; he was a Jin Gang Temple monk.

The other was tall and burly, wearing black armor, carrying a thick black shield on his back, with a wooden expression.

Wang Yu blinked a few times and recognized the black-armored man; he was precisely the Foundation Establishment elder he had seen once when he first entered the Four Symbols Sect.

This black-armored man had been silent when others were arguing fiercely about whether he could become an inner disciple back then, which had left a deep impression on Wang Yu.

At this moment, the black-armored man saw Wang Yu enter, looked at his face, paused slightly, and then spoke:

"Wang Yu? Seems I have heard this name somewhere. Have I seen you before?"

This black-armored man's voice was dry, as if it were a machine that hadn't been oiled, very hoarse.

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, when this disciple entered the Four Symbols Sect several years ago, it was Uncle-Master who was responsible for the review. Later, I was taken away by Uncle-Master Gu." Wang Yu hesitated slightly and replied truthfully.

"I remember now. It's that little fellow whom Uncle-Master Li Huo once specifically named and requested.

Later I heard that Uncle-Master Li Huo specially approved you to become an inner disciple. Calculating the time, being able to cultivate to late-stage Qi Refinement in such a short time, and having the courage to participate in this Jialan Trial, you can be considered a talent worth cultivating.

By the way, my surname is Jin, and I am an executive elder of the Xuanwu Mountain lineage, specifically responsible for checking the discipline violations of inner and outer disciples. Now I am temporarily responsible for the calculation of merit points for disciples of this sect. If you killed Demon Sect disciples in the secret realm, you can take out their identity tokens."

Very different from the wooden and uncommunicative impression Wang Yu originally had, the black-armored man spoke a lot as soon as he opened his mouth, but his expression didn't change in the slightest, as if he were wearing a thick mask.

Wang Yu felt somewhat surprised, but didn't show it in the slightest on his face. He called out "Yes," but after glancing at the withered monk beside him, his movements hesitated somewhat. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====

Wang Yu felt somewhat surprised in his heart, but his face revealed nothing at all. After saying "Yes," he glanced at the withered monk beside him, and his movements became somewhat hesitant.
