It was only after Shi Jian’s slow description that Ye Lin finally understood the story between his Master and the Saint King Sect Grand Elder.
It turned out that a hundred years ago, Qingyun Sect and Saint King Sect, two great Sects, were on equal footing. At that time, the Saint King Sect Grand Elder and Qingyun Sect’s Chu Xue were both Prodigies of their respective Sects.
During a competition between the Disciples of the two great Sects, the Saint King Sect Grand Elder, seeing Chu Xue’s extreme beauty, spoke disrespectfully and was ultimately taught a lesson by Chu Xue.
From then on, whenever the two met, Chu Xue would often hang and hammer the Saint King Sect Grand Elder. Thus, a long-standing grudge had accumulated between them.
After realizing Chu Xue’s power, from then on, whenever they met, the Saint King Sect Grand Elder would only engage in verbal sparring and dared not make a move, as any move would result in him being hung and hammered.
This made Ye Lin sigh with emotion, realizing that his seemingly aloof Master actually had such an interesting past.
At this moment, they were all resting in place, and in the sky, sword lights occasionally fell, all coming from the various great powers.
Just like that, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
“They’re here.”
At this moment, Ye Lin opened his eyes and looked towards the massive cave entrance at the very center.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the thin blue membrane on the surface of the cave entrance was slowly disappearing.
“Look, the Dragon Abyss Cave has opened.”
“I see it. Be patient and wait to see what the great powers say.”
The Loose Cultivators around, seeing this, were eager to move, but they still held their ground. Since these great powers had not yet made a move, if they dared to rush in, they would be the first to die.
“gentlemen, the Dragon Abyss Cave is wide open, so let us begin. What do you think, Elder Chu?”
At this moment, an old man with an otherworldly Aura from afar looked at Chu Xue and asked.
No matter what, among everyone present, Chu Xue had the highest status because she was an Elder of the Qingyun Sect.
“Agreed.”
Chu Xue nodded, and immediately, the surrounding Loose Cultivators began to rush towards the Dragon Abyss Cave. They were unaligned and relied solely on their own exploration.
Their resources were hard-earned, and now that the Dragon Abyss Cave had finally opened, they were all here to gamble with their lives.
The reason why the great powers allowed these Loose Cultivators to enter was purely to clear the way for their Disciples. The Dragon Abyss Cave was fraught with dangers, and these Loose Cultivators were perfect for paving the way.
As for Loose Cultivators obtaining treasures? Only those who could bring the treasures out alive truly possessed skill.
After seeing all the Loose Cultivators enter, the Personal Disciples of the great powers began to move.
“Be careful, everyone.”
“Please rest assured, Elder Chu.”
After bowing to Chu Xue, Ye Lin followed the other five Personal Disciples into the Dragon Abyss Cave.
His vision went dark, followed by the sight of ruins.
They stood amidst a expanse of ruins, with destroyed buildings everywhere in front of them.
“This… this is the inside of the Dragon Abyss Cave? It’s too tragic, isn’t it?”
At this moment, Shi Jian also widened his mouth. To be honest, this was his first time here as well.
Although they were Personal Disciples, they couldn't come every time.
“Is this truly the ruins of a Nascent Soul Stage power? What kind of power could destroy a Nascent Soul Stage power like this overnight?”
Seeing such a sight, Ye Lin couldn't help but click his tongue. It was truly astonishing.
Everywhere he looked, there were remnants of various buildings, faintly exuding a sense of decay, which was utterly shocking.
“These are communication jade slips, one for each of you. If you encounter danger, you can activate it immediately, and then everyone else with this jade slip will know your location.”
At this moment, Li Miaoling took out five jade slips and distributed them to the five people, then said.
Ye Lin put away the jade slip and nodded. This kind of method was almost universally present in all major powers.
“Until we meet again, farewell.”
At this moment, Lin Zisheng and the fat man finished speaking and ran towards the distance. Shi Jian also walked away.
And the last Personal Disciple, a man with a long sword on his back, nodded coldly at Ye Lin and Li Miaoling, then turned and left.
“Junior Brother, be careful.”
Li Miaoling finished speaking and went to explore alone.
At this moment, looking at Li Miaoling’s back, Ye Lin pondered in his heart, then walked towards the distance.
After all, it was unrealistic for Personal Disciples of the same Sect to stay together all the time. Everyone had their own secrets, and besides, it would be difficult to divide any treasures found if they were together.
“Where is the Pill Formula room?”
Ye Lin walked, pondering in his heart. Having never seen a Pill Formula room, he could only rely on luck to find it.
“Looking at this place, it should be a huge plaza, and as for the Pill Formula room, the most likely location is behind it.”
At this moment, Ye Lin sped up and walked towards the distance. Important buildings like the Pill Formula room and the Artifact Refining room would naturally be built in secluded places.
“Found it.”
At this moment, Ye Lin looked at a dilapidated building in front of him. A worn-out plaque hung above the main entrance, and faintly, the words “Pill Formula Room” could be discerned.
Just as Ye Lin lifted his foot to step inside, a man walked out of the Pill Formula room and looked at Ye Lin with a cold sneer.
“Sorry, my Wang family wants this Pill Formula room. Get lost quickly.”
Outside, Qingyun Sect was the overlord, and the Disciples of their Four Great Families still had to show some Face to Qingyun Sect Personal Disciples.
But here, Qingyun Sect Disciples were nothing.
Moreover, these family Disciples were very disgusted with Qingyun Sect.
“Get out.”
At this moment, Ye Lin said with a chilling tone. He didn't need to give Face to these so-called powers at all.
According to what Chu Xue said, on the surface, it was an exploration of the Dragon Abyss Cave, but in reality, it was an opportunity to ruthlessly suppress the Disciples of these great powers.
To let their younger generation understand who was truly the boss within a radius of ten thousand li.
“I’ll say it again, my Wang family wants this Pill Formula room. If you don’t get lost, be careful, I’ll take your dog’s life. Qingyun Sect Personal Disciple? I’ve long wanted to see the strength of a Qingyun Sect Personal Disciple.”
Wang Tian drew a large saber and held it in front of Ye Lin’s neck, his Face full of disdain.
In his eyes, Qingyun Sect was already a toothless tiger. Having suppressed their Four Great Families for decades, they had long harbored extreme disgust towards Qingyun Sect in their hearts.
“The place may be good, but you also need the ability to take it.”
Ye Lin finished speaking, grabbed the large saber in front of his neck, clenched his left hand into a fist, and punched Wang Tian in the chest.
“How dare you!”
Wang Tian’s body retreated rapidly, covering his chest with his right hand, his Face filled with rage.
“A mere Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, how dare you be so arrogant?”
Wang Tian held his large saber, his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Aura spreading out.
Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators were not common, and the strength of the Disciples from various major powers was only on the surface, as no one would reveal their true strength openly.
“Overlord Saber Slash.”
Wang Tian roared, streams of light flickering on his large saber, and an extremely heavy Aura emanated from it.
And Wang Tian showed no mercy, launching a killing move right away.
Seeing this, Ye Lin also ceased to be merciful.
“Seven Kill Fist, Kill!”
Boom!
With a loud bang, a wave of Qi overturned the surrounding boulders, and Wang Tian’s hand holding the large saber trembled violently.
And a gash had appeared on his Yellow Rank Low Grade large saber.
Not only did Ye Lin block his saber with his fist, but with one punch, he even rendered his saber useless.
More importantly, Ye Lin was only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, while he was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
His full-power strike couldn’t even be blocked by Ye Lin’s single punch?
“What kind of monster are you?”
