Chapter 109 In the End, the Paths Diverge (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Wayless Sect, Grand Hall Square.
At this moment.
Ye Luo stood in the square.
Looking down at the spot where he had comprehended the Dao in his earlier days, he felt a wave of emotion.
Behind him, the Great Elder stood cautiously, occasionally glancing up to observe this legendary Hidden Sect.
In his line of sight.
The mysterious halls seemed to emanate an endless allure.
It was as if by entering just one of these halls, he could gain an immense opportunity.
Of course.
This was just a psychological effect on the Great Elder.
The four words "Hidden Sect" left a brilliant image in his mind.
In the eyes of the Great Elder, perhaps even a blade of grass from Wayless Sect might be seen as an immortal herb...
Ye Luo was unaware of this.
If Ye Luo knew, he probably would have died laughing.
Wayless Sect had only two open halls
the rest were all closed. Where would so many things come from?
Both men stood in the Grand Hall Square with their own thoughts.
After a while.
Suddenly, an excited voice came from outside the square.
"Eldest senior brother?! Is that really you, eldest senior brother!"
Su Qianyuan could be seen rushing over from a distance.
He traversed a hundred meters in a single step.
Without any mana fluctuations, it was clear he sprinted solely with the power of his physical body.
Yet with body strength alone, he was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye.
Su Qianyuan had entered the Grand Hall Square and hurried to Ye Luo's side, his expression full of joy.
"Eldest senior brother! It really is you; you've come back!"
Su Qianyuan looked Ye Luo up and down and said with happiness.
"Yes, I've come to see our respected master, by the way, where is he?"
A smile appeared on Ye Luo's face as well, as he spoke.
"Ah? You've come to see the respected master? The respected master left with the second senior brother over two hours ago for the foot of the mountain."
Su Qianyuan couldn't help but to say.
"Eh? The respected master took the second senior brother down the mountain?"
Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment.
It was somewhat unexpected.
Originally, he had intended to pay his respects to his master and to talk about his external experiences.
But unexpectedly, the master had already descended the mountain.
And he'd taken Zhang Han with him.
Given the circumstances, there was nothing he could do...
However, although he knew that Zhang Han was the future Sect Master of the Daoless Sect, the news of his master descending the mountain with Zhang Han still left a sour taste in the bottom of his heart.
The respected master had never taken him down the mountain before.
And this time he actually took Zhang Han with him...
I'm so bitter...
I'm so distressed...
Ye Luo grumbled to himself internally but showed no signs of it on the surface, still maintaining a faint smile.
Su Qianyuan on the other hand, couldn't see any of these undercurrents.
He nodded very seriously.
"Yes, eldest senior brother, the respected master has taken the second senior brother down the mountain," Su Qianyuan said.
As these words were spoken.
They were like a sharp sword.
Piercing through Ye Luo's already sour heart.
Ye Luo's gaze towards Su Qianyuan changed.
He had originally intended to show some bias for this junior brother when it came to the matter of the Great Elder.
Now it seemed, there was absolutely no need to do so.
"Hmm, if that's the case, then there's nothing I can do. Alright, junior brother, let me introduce you to an old acquaintance first."
"Great Elder, come over here."
Ye Luo revealed a peculiar smile and gestured for someone to come over from behind.
Behind him,
the Great Elder stepped forward, his old face extremely embarrassed as he looked at the freshly bald Su Qianyuan.
His lips trembled, unsure of how to begin talking.
He feared that if he spoke out, Su Qianyuan might kill him.
However, Su Qianyuan felt differently upon seeing the Great Elder. His expression showed astonishment.
Why was the Qiandi Dao Sect's Great Elder here?
Could it be that his martial brother had already dealt with the Qiandi Dao Sect and, in order to help him with that matter concerning his Dao companion, brought the Great Elder along?
It seemed that indeed, only under such circumstances would the Great Elder possibly be brought to the Wayless Sect by Ye Luo.
But it had only been so long since his martial brother had left the mountains.
Hearing that his martial brother had become a figure on the East State's list of remarkable people was shocking enough.
If they were to say his martial brother had also dealt with the Qiandi Dao Sect, that would truly be unbelievable.
"Great Elder…"
"Martial Brother, you've already made your move against the Qiandi Dao Sect?"
Su Qianyuan asked incredulously.
"Mm… as for the specifics, let the Great Elder tell you. I'll take a stroll around the Wayless Sect first, and leave all the explanations to him."
Ye Luo smiled strangely.
After saying this,
he turned and walked out towards the Grand Hall Square.
Leaving the Great Elder and Su Qianyuan behind.
Looking up at the retreating figure of his martial brother, Su Qianyuan was puzzled.
But this did not hinder his curiosity about the feats his martial brother achieved after leaving the mountains.
"Great Elder, quickly tell me, did Martial Brother really deal with the Qiandi Dao Sect?"
Su Qianyuan asked impatiently.
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn't about the matter of the Dao companion, it was fine.
"Yes, the Qian Yuan Sect… former Sect Master Qian Yuan, Sect Master Ye almost single-handedly defeated the entire Qiandi Dao Sect and ousted them from the Holy Land Sequence."
"Moreover, he gathered the fate of East State and founded a new Cultivation Holy Land called Taiyi Sword Sect."
"Now, Taiyi Sword Sect is on the right track; it's only a matter of time before it completely dominates the whole East State!"
The Great Elder's tone relaxed a bit as he spoke.
"Martial Brother is that strong?! He really established a Cultivation Holy Land in such a short time! That's simply unprecedented in thousands of years!"
Su Qianyuan exclaimed excitedly.
"Indeed, Sect Master Ye is very strong. He's now ranked sixth on the East State's list of eminent figures. I estimate that in another year or two, he will vie for the top position!"
The Great Elder nodded.
Seeing the look on Su Qianyuan's face, the rock in his heart was finally put down.
It seemed like Su Qianyuan had forgotten the matter concerning the 'Dao companion,' hadn't he?
If the conversation could be steered away from that topic, perhaps this guy might truly forget about it.
"Speaking of which, former Sect Master Qian Yuan, you didn't get to see Sect Master Ye's grandeur at the time; it's truly a shame. Sect Master Ye single-handedly fought against two at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, it was spectacular."
"Following that battle, countless veteran powerhouses regarded Sect Master Ye as the greatest genius in East State for a millennium!"
The Great Elder spoke spiritedly,
trying to influence Su Qianyuan with his enthusiasm.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Indeed, Su Qianyuan was influenced, his gaze filled with longing.
The martial feats of his martial brother did seem like something out of a legend.
And he, likewise, longed to have such legendary achievements.
However…
Su Qianyuan was resolute, believing that once his Body Refinement was truly complete, once he left the mountains, there wouldn't be many who could withstand his punch!
Just as his Respected Master had said back in the day, let others have all their ingenious methods and Divine Skills; I alone will shatter them with a single punch!
Oh, what the Respected Master had said was to break them with the physical body.
Close enough, close enough.
A single punch to break them is right.
But now that he thought about it, he hadn't asked about his Dao companion, had he?
Su Qianyuan snapped back to reality and looked at the Great Elder.
"Great Elder, when I left in anger, my Dao companion must have sought you out, right? I must thank the Great Elder for taking care of her. How is my Dao companion doing now?"
Su Qianyuan spoke up.
Great Elder: "…"
So, they were back to that topic after all?
