Qingyun Immortal Mountain was shrouded in cloud mist, groups of disciples were returning to the sect, joking and talking about their journey’s harvests, their achievements during the assessments, and rewards they could exchange.
In the Cloud Summit Great Hall, Elder Jiang Taixu crossed the threshold to meet Sect Leader Yun Xuzi.
“Is everything taken care of?”
Behind the Great Hall, a lakeside pavilion, and a giant tree laden with heavy fruits, stook a pond where Yun Xuzi stood quietly by the railings, feeding the fish. The picture of nearly a hundred red-backed red carps crowding together was impressive.
He was waiting for Jiang Taixu.
Elder Jiang nodded, “It’s all taken care of. The Corpse Sect, the Ghoul Sect, the Blood God Sect, and other demonic sects have all been dealt with in a single stroke, as for the Heavenly Demon Nether Dragon Scroll, it has been integrated by Han Ye.”
Yun Xuzi turned around at this, smiling, “I thought you would keep this from me.”
Elder Jiang explained, “As long as the Sect Leader pretends not to know, Han Ye will not report to you. The consequences of this will be borne by me.”
“Elder Jiang, can you handle it all by yourself?”
Yun Xuzi asked.
He understood that Elder Jiang had taken the matter of the Demon Chart onto himself to protect the person facing the catastrophe.
“Whether I can handle it or not, I have to. The Sect Leader is more important. If the Sect Leader were to bear this, the resulting pressure would greatly disrupt the Dragon Sparrow Sect.”
“It seems that two Outer Sect disciples know about the existence of the artifact.”
“Not a problem, I have already entrusted Han Ye to direct everything related to the Demon Chart to me. At this moment, those who know the whereabouts of the Demon Chart are only the Sect Leader, Han Ye, and myself. To the outside world, only I know of it, that’s enough.”
“Was this also concluded from your divination?” Yun Xuzi asked.
“There are dangers, but nothing life-threatening, we can thus avert the disaster.”
Elder Jiang gave a slight nod.
Yun Xuzi sighed, “How does this catastrophe compare to the Sect’s Great Calamity?”
The other party solemnly replied, “It’s like comparing a river to a vast sea, they aren’t on the same level.”
Yun Xuzi frowned, scattered another handful of fish feed, and asked, “Can’t the Demon Chart be taken out from Han Ye?”
“No, the Demon Chart has begun to wake up and has fused with his body. To extract the Chart, one needs to kill the person facing the catastrophe.”
Yun Xuzi’s gaze flickered, “Is Han Ye the one facing the catastrophe?”
“At the moment, both Chu Xianyu and Han Ye have this possibility, not to mention Han Ye who obtained the Demon Chart, which can be seen as a Heaven-Sent Fortune. So we can’t tell for a moment who it would be, it’s most likely to be among these two.”
“One out of two, indeed a tough choice.”
Yun Xuzi contemplated for a while, indeed, it was hard to choose.
Han Ye and Wang Da Niu bid farewell to Langlang Village and returned to the sect in a few days.
Couting the time, his senior sister and master should have returned to the sect by now.
Han Ye was thinking about this the whole way.
Since his senior sister was trapped in Huangquan Valley and the elders went to rescue her, as the crisis in Hongzhou Prefecture had been resolved, they should have reached the sect by now.
After returning to the sect, he should be able to see Senior Sister Shen.
Thinking about it, Han Ye’s sword-flight speed increased a lot.
“Han brother, slow down!”
Da Niu cried from behind him.
“Da Niu, aren’t you afraid of heights anymore?”
“Much better, I’m gradually getting used to flying…”
As the ethereal Immortal Mountain piercing the sky appeared before him, Han Ye finally returned to the sect.
They reached Pure Yang Peak quickly.
Before landing, familiar voices could be heard from the ground.
“In the half a month I was gone, you lot seem to have grown lax, or are your bones itching again?”
In front of the Great Hall on an open ground, Shen Yuxiang wore a white Direct Disciple’s robe with a Purple Chrysanthemum Hairpin in her hair. Her face had the usual benevolent smile, but her words were as harsh as ever.
She was admonishing the Inner Sect disciples who had caused a conflict, with footprints of her punches formed deep pits in ground before her. It was quite a contrast with her beautiful and cold face.
Senior Sister Shen’s physical cultivation as well was astonishingly strong, often the impact of her punch would cause quite the commotion, even causing the ground within dozens of metres to crack.
Being able to cultivate to Golden Core within a few years, her aptitude was naturally extraordinary.
Many Inner Sect disciples pointed at Han Ye who had just returned to Pure Yang Peak and said:
“Senior Sister, see Brother Han is back. Why don’t you discipline him?”
“During your absence, he disappeared for several days, as I heard, he even went directly to Ziwei Peak for cultivation, he is the real criminal, he has forgotten about the sect.”
It wasn’t a secret that reporting like this would help shift some of Senior Sister’s anger onto them.
With the return of Senior Sister, those Inner Sect disciples felt the pressure of a great mountain bearing down on their heads again.
Shen Yuxiang hearing this, glanced at Han Ye, a faint smile crept onto her face. Then, her expression turned stern, staring at her disciples, she criticized:
“I have heard all about it. Han Ye has rightfully obtained the first place in the Outer Sect for Pure Yang Peak, and earned his dues. His autonomy in decision-making has proven his abilities. For him to be able to do Ziwei Peak cultivation is indeed commendable. Unlike you old disciples of Pure Yang Peak, none of you managed to make it into the top five in this year’s Inner Sect Competition, that’s the real disgrace!”
“And he is just about to become an Inner Sect disciple, and if he becomes your Senior Brother by then, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Faced with Senior Sister Shen’s reprimand, many Inner Sect disciples looked ashamed..
