Chapter 433: Playing It One Step Safer (Fourth Update, 300 Monthly Ticket Bonus)

"Hmph!"

After roaring in his heart for a long time, Zuo Yungui took a deep breath, scanned his surroundings with contempt, and let out an angry huff.

Annoying.

He had clearly prepared meticulously for so long, intending to make a grand entrance, yet the reaction from this group of people was so mediocre.

Angry!

Fucking angry!

But even though Zuo Yungui was this annoyed, he did not take the initiative to say anything.

In essence, although he was more willing to get lost in Chongzhou City than his peers, he still could not shake off the common trait of Divine Path Sect disciples.

Social anxiety.

For someone with social anxiety to muster the courage to show themselves off in front of everyone was already quite an achievement.

But to not receive a good result, this was truly saddening.

Jing Yueqin also noticed this, her brows slightly raised as she realized something.

"Oh? It seems a master has already passed through here before?"

Although Junior Martial Nephew Zuo was a bit arrogant, he did have the strength and the looks; that display of the Divine Path just now was enough to win the exclamations of outsiders.

The current lukewarm reaction should be because they had just seen a more astonishing scene not long ago.

Someone had already performed the grandstanding that Zuo Yungui intended to do!

The tax had already been collected in advance, and the late-arriving Junior Martial Nephew Zuo could no longer squeeze any oil out of them!

"Sure enough, my thinking was correct; there happens to be a team of masters ahead."

Jing Yueqin nodded slightly, feeling proud of her own wit, and puffed out her chest triumphantly.

Then, she hurriedly realized her current status, covered her mouth with a light cough, and put her hands behind her back.

"There is no rush to clash with them now; we can continue to walk slowly and let them help us clear out the small fry ahead."

The great strategist Jing once again issued major instructions for the next step of the strategy.

She decided to play it one step safer!

"The people ahead certainly wouldn't expect that there is such a steady strategist behind them, hehehehe."

"Damn it, why is there no movement from this guy at all?"

Ren Yidao, who had searched all around the carriage and found no clues, couldn't help but mutter.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"That shouldn't be! Based on my understanding of her, she definitely came to join in the fun... but how come there isn't even a trace of evidence to be found?"

It really is strange!

Ren Yidao's complaints did not attract the attention of others; at this moment, Cang Lan and the other two were immersed in the pleasure of their cultivation recovering.

After passing through the Earth Gate and arriving in the Central Region, their strength was no longer restricted, and compared to the feeling of being tied hand and foot everywhere before, they felt refreshed in body and mind.

Sure enough, the most refreshing part of the 'holding back' mode is the release after the endurance.

Having returned to the Golden Core cultivation realm after a long time, they realized some details they had overlooked in the past, and at this moment, they actually had some unique insights.

Ren Yidao did not have much of a reaction to this; he had been suppressing his cultivation long before entering the Earth Realm, and he had long since made this feeling a habit.

"I can't find Jing Yueqin... forget it, I'll just assume she isn't stirring up trouble everywhere for now and let her off the hook."

"There are so many acquaintances in the Central Region right now: Li Qiushui, Li Fengyao, Li Yiyi, Lingling... why is it all the Li Family? Oh, and my dear Junior Sister Yu Yu."

"And that Double Pupil kid from the Southern Border I met before; I imagine it should be much livelier than the Outer Domain, right?"

"However, today is only the third day; even if there is a conflict, it should be a matter for the following days."

Thus, the great strategist Ren issued major instructions for the next step of the strategy.

He decided to play it one step safer!

"They are in the light and I am in the dark; those guys certainly wouldn't expect that there is a variable like me in this Immortal Sect Grand Competition, hehe."

He tugged on the reins, sending a command to the two warhorses that had been galloping for half a day to take a short rest.

And this command was exactly the same as Jing Yueqin's decision earlier.

Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding between two of the three sages of Luoyue Peak.

Where there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Fledgling Phoenix, not to mention that this Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix even sleep in the same bed...

But in fact, the developments in the Central Region at this moment were actually faster than Ren Yidao had imagined.

Just as he was still leisurely on his way, Li Fengyao and Li Qiushui, that pair of bickering siblings, had actually already run into each other.

"Princess Qiushui, you are of noble birth; you could have stayed in Wentian as the Ninth Princess in peace, why bother getting involved in this matter? What is the point of this?"

"This is a matter between my Wanhua Valley and the Sword Casting Hut; it has nothing to do with you."

Before the Heaven Gate, Li Qiushui stood alone with her sword, while not far from her, a group of warblers and swallows in thin clothing, with various flowers pinned to their lapels, were looking at her and covering their mouths with giggles.

They were trying to force her to make the first move so they could use it as a pretext to attack.

But all schemes and tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength.

Facing the teasing of the Wanhua Valley disciples, Li Qiushui lowered her brows and eyes, having no intention of paying them any mind.

But this did not mean that Li Qiushui was showing weakness; the three-foot white blade in her hand was more useful than any words.

Let you have a thousand words, I shall break them all with a single sword.

If they dared to truly take the initiative to do anything, there would only be one outcome: becoming the dead souls and withered bones under Li Qiushui's feet.

"Hehe."

Li Fengyao was surrounded by other Wanhua Valley disciples; at this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back with a smile on his lips, neither speaking nor stopping the others, just quietly watching Li Qiushui's back.

"Ninth Sister has become even stronger."

Li Fengyao sighed in her Heart Star with a touch of envy.

"This Sword Spirit Body is truly convenient."

"I thought that by relying on what he gave me back then, my speed of Jingsheng would be fast enough, but I didn't expect that I still haven't caught up to her."

Wanhua Valley has methods of dual cultivation; Li Fengyao originally thought she would never use them in this lifetime, but in the end, she still ended up practicing them with that guy.

Furthermore, she had thought that she was the dominant one in the dual cultivation and would allow the other party to benefit greatly.

As it turned out... not only was the other party very skilled, but he also transferred a massive amount of cultivation to her.

After all that, Li Fengyao not only didn't suffer a loss, but instead gained a full harvest; her cultivation increased significantly, and her speed of cultivation improved greatly compared to the past.

"However, what was left over from last time has been mostly digested; if I want to maintain this speed, I'll have to find time to replenish with him."

Thinking of the process of replenishment, Li Fengyao's expression changed slightly, but fortunately, she was in a male form at the moment, so the shyness on her face went unnoticed by anyone.

Ahem.

She gave a light cough, rubbed her pressed-together legs slightly to shift her attention away, and also looked toward the Heaven Gate, which stood three thousand feet tall.

"Heaven Gate Pass..."

Of the three gates of Sword Province, the Human Gate blocks those who overestimate themselves, the Earth Gate allows anyone to seize and occupy it, while the final Heaven Gate has no gatekeepers at all.

Or rather, the gatekeeper of the Heaven Gate is the strongest.

It is not any cultivator, but a sword-shaped phantom of the Half-Step Heaven Realm.

Those who trespass, shall be cut down!
