“It is rude for the pupil of your Eight Extremes Sect to not distinguish between respect and humility.”
“There is a saying, ‘respect the old and love the young’. You don’t even love the young, how can I respect the old?” Lou Mu Yan asked with ridicule.
“Humph, you sure are eloquent. But I want to see just how long you can be so arrogant.” The Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect snorted coldly with hidden killing intent in his eyes.
He had indeed overstepped in front of the Eight Extremes Sect Elder to order Lou Mu Yan. However, being contradicted by a Junior, and being unable to kill her right on the spot, the anger in his heart kept simmering.
“There is no need to bother you, old man Dong Lin, to take care of a pupil of our Eight Extremes Sect.” The Elder of the Eight Extremes Sect appeared slightly cold.
The Elder of the Sword Sect thought about it then persuaded: “Alright now, Dong Lin, why are you arguing with a Junior. Let’s first deal with the important business.”
The Elder of the Eight Extremes Sect had already regarded Lou Mu Yan as a treasure right now, and Elder Dong Lin couldn’t do anything to her at all.
The two Sects had held grudges for a long time, and the people of the Eight Extremes Sect were very protective and defensive of their people, otherwise Lou Mu Yan wouldn’t dare be so arrogant either. To continue to find faults wasn’t a wise move at all, and it could end up in a fight.
What’s more, such a young Grade 5 Array Master should be raised as a treasure even for their Sword Sect.
Geniuses had their own pride. Lou Mu Yan’s ability to withstand a Sword Saint’s pressure by herself just now proved that she still had some capabilities. From his perspective, being a little arrogant wasn’t anything big.
The Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect suppressed his anger, but the matter of Lou Mu Yan injuring his pupil and contradicting him would never be let go just like this.
He smiled sinisterly inwardly. When the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition arrived, he must let the geniuses of his Sect kill her to avoid future trouble.
The Elder of the Heavenly Secret Palace contemplated, then instructed all the pupils: “You can all rest here first, we’ll go down for a look.”
“Yes.”
Then the Elders of the Six Major Sects jumped into the Falling Ghost River to investigate. After all, the purpose of their trip was to explore the Spiritual Item here.
A day later, another wave of Sword Saint powerhouses from the Six Major Sects came, and together, they destroyed the water ring and entered the bottom of the river.
In the end, of course, there was nothing to be gained, and they could only leave in disappointment. But inwardly, they believed that Lan Si took the Spiritual Item away and cussed out the Sea Race inwardly.
Lou Mu Yan and the other pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect also followed the two Elders who came to Falling Ghost River and they left on flying Magic Tools.
On the flying Magic Tool, Gu Xiu and the others looked at Lou Mu Yan with envy.
“Junior Sister Lou, you sure are lucky to meet Shen Mu Feng who was about to die and kill him. He could be exchanged for one hundred thousand Sect contribution points.” Jin Se said with a smile.
Lou Mu Yan replied with a light smile: “It’s also a coincidence. If it wasn’t for Lan Si of the Sea Race who seriously injured him, it would’ve been me who died now.”
“That’s true.” The several people nodded.
“Junior Sister Lou, you’ve hidden yourself so deeply. You’ve already advanced to a Grade 5 Array Master at such a young age. This talent can be matched to that genius of the Inner Sect’s Array School.” Peng Yang praised.
Inwardly, they already believed that Lou Mu Yan’s talent was even stronger than that person, but they couldn’t say it aloud. After all, that person was a person in the Sect they couldn’t afford to offend.
“Who’s that genius?” Lou Mu Yan was unfamiliar with the Inner Sect. She had only heard that there was a Grade 5 Array Master genius, but she didn’t know much.
“He’s a Direct Disciple of one of the Ancestors of the Sect. Not only is he a Grade 5 Array Master, but he’s also in the top ten of the Inner Sect’s strength ranking.” Gu Xiu replied.
Jin Se added: “Not only does he have Heaven-defying talent, but also a very deep background. If you enter the Inner Sect, Junior Sister, you definitely shouldn’t provoke him.”
“He’s very arrogant in the Inner Sect?” Lou Mu Yan asked the several people, who appeared very afraid of that Array genius, curiously.
“No, he’s not arrogant. On the contrary, he’s very low-profile.” Gu Xiu paused, then said: “But no one dares to offend, otherwise they’ll definitely end miserably.”
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a hint of interest, “I sure feel like I want to meet that Senior Brother more after hearing what you all said.”
“…” The several people twitched the corners of their lips. Everyone else was hiding from that person, but she actually wanted to meet him. She was truly a lunatic.
Along the way, the several people chatted for a while, then they cultivated in their cabins independently. After returning to the Sect, Lou Mu Yan first greeted the several people and headed back to her courtyard for Closed-Door Cultivation.
In the cave at the bottom of the river, she broke through to Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign with the energy birthed from that Obsidian Fluorite, and when she fought with Shen Mu Feng, she caught a sense of comprehension of the wind element, so she calmed down and settled to consolidate her cultivation base in an attempt to search for that sliver of comprehension.
Time passed little by little, and a month later, Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes, her beautiful pupils filled with brilliant light.
Taking advantage of this period of time, she not only stabilised her cultivation base, but also raised it to its peak state. She could break through to Sword Venerable at any given time with an opportunity.
As for the comprehension of the wind element, she also caught onto it a little, and the introduction of it had been completed.
Then she took out the Crystal Core of the Tier 9 White Jiao Dragon and refined many Grade 5 pills and improved a bit in her Alchemy skills too.
A Communication Talisman floated in from the courtyard. After listening to it, she immediately got up and flew in the direction of where the Headmaster was.
As soon as Lou Mu Yan stepped into the courtyard, she saw a beautiful woman leaning lazily on a rocking chair drinking tea. She walked over with a smile on her lips.
“Pupil pays respects to Headmaster.” She saluted with a pupil greeting.
Huo Ling Long opened her eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes overflowed with a layer of softness. “Little girl, your cultivation speed is so fast!”
The last time she saw Lou Mu Yan, this girl’s cultivation base was only at Middle-Phase Sword Sovereign. In only a year, she actually arrived at Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign. Cultivation speed this fast sure was shocking.
“Headmaster called me here today isn’t just to praise my fast cultivation speed right.” Lou Mu Yan wasn’t restrained in front of Huo Ling Long either, and went to sit in front of her, pouring herself a cup of tea.
Not only was Huo Ling Long not angry, but her smile grew even deeper. Lou Mu Yan’s temperament was very much to her taste.
“I heard that you’re already a Grade 5 Array Master?”
Lou Mu Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance lingered along her lips, “Mm.”
“Then can I understand it this way. You, as part of the Talisman School, is also a Grade 5 Talisman Master?” Huo Ling Long raised an eyebrow slightly with all kinds of charms.
“About right.” Lou Mu Yan said modestly.
When Huo Ling Long heard her say that, she immediately sat up straight and looked at her with scorching eyes, “Are you serious?”
“How dare I deceive Headmaster.” Lou Mu Yan blinked and said.
“Your talent is a little too scary.” Huo Ling Long sat up straight and tapped her fingers on the table, “The Headmaster of the Array School has come very often to visit me in the last month.”
Lou Mu Yan played with the teacup and looked up at her. She didn’t say anything, waiting to hear her next words.
“They all want you to go to the Array School to cultivate.” Huo Ling Long raised her eyes and looked at Lou Mu Yan playfully, “You tell me, should I release you?”
Lou Mu Yan chuckled and asked with a sly smile: “Then does Headmaster want to release me?”
“Of course not. If anyone dares to dig lao’niang’s corner, lao’niang will beat them to death.” Huo Ling Long said domineeringly and arrogantly.
“Then doesn’t that settle it. Since Headmaster already made a decision, then why bother to test me again.” Lou Mu Yan leaned lazily against the back of the chair and continued to say leisurely: “I have no thoughts of changing Schools.”
“Very good. You really didn’t disappoint me.” Huo Ling Long reached out and patted Lou Mu Yan on the shoulder and said: “I believe you won’t disappoint me in the competition for the Inner Sect spots in a month.”
Lou Mu Yan put away a bit of her carefreeness and looked straight at her, “Is the competition for the Inner Sect spots ahead of schedule?”
