Chapter 28 There is no Ye Zhao this time
"But Master avoided Tianxuan Sect from the very beginning and brought his disciples into the secret realm ahead of time."
"It was the right choice for us to leave Qingyue Peak!"
Shen Yubai frowned slightly, and soon thought of this matter. He nodded, "You are right..."
To offend the Tianxuan Sect is more terrible than losing all the elixirs!
Early the next morning, Pei Yan, Chen Yubai and other disciples packed their bags and set off again.
They left the valley and continued south, arriving at the desert area marked on the map.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky and yellow sand fills the sky.
The hot wind blew up sand and gravel that hit their exposed skin. Beads of sweat appeared on Pei Yan and Shen Yu's foreheads, and when they got into their eyes, they didn't have the strength to wipe them away.
The spiritual energy in this desert is thin, and the vitality of heaven and earth is dried up. Once you use spiritual power to control the sword, you will fall from the sky after flying only a hundred feet, just like a ship without sails.
So they could only walk forward obediently.
Pei Yan's throat was dry, and he cursed softly, "Why didn't I find this place so difficult to walk in my previous life?"
Shen Yubai glanced at him sideways, his eyes also filled with distress, but after a while, he understood and muttered absentmindedly: "Because at that time... Ye Zhao was there."
Pei Yan was stunned.
Yes, in their previous life they walked through this desert together with Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao had made preparations in advance. Before they set off, she gave each of them a few Ningyuan Lingdan pills. At noon, she personally prepared a Jingling soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and distributed it to everyone to drink.
So even the most delicate disciple could complete the whole journey with ease.
And now...
They have been Ye Wange's disciples for some time, but this time when they traveled with the team, they were not even given the most basic Qi-replenishing pills.
What’s even more hateful is that she even took away what they already had!
Chen Yubai gave a bitter laugh. "At first, I always thought Ye Zhao was too nagging. She had to check everything herself and even insisted that we bring enough pills to replenish our spiritual energy. Now I understand that she is not nagging at all, but she is truly foresighted."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the dry and cracked sand, and was silent for a long time.
By noon, the temperature had risen sharply. Pei Yan and Shen Yubai were covered in dust and were following at the end of the team like dead dogs.
Most of the disciples at Xialing Peak also had disordered breathing and had to take several breaths after taking each step.
One disciple complained breathlessly, "This damn place... is not meant for human beings to walk in. If I walk for another half a day, my legs will be useless..."
Another inner disciple rested his hands on his knees, "...It's too hot, I'm almost drained of my energy."
Several disciples with lower cultivation levels simply sat on the ground and refused to leave no matter what.
However, in sharp contrast are the disciples of Qingyue Peak.
Although their clothes were covered with sand and dust, their expressions were as bright as usual, and they were even able to chat and laugh, without showing any signs of fatigue.
After noticing this, several disciples from Xia Lingfeng began to look suspicious.
"Huh? Why don't those people from Qingyue Peak seem tired at all?"
"Their... aura seems to be stronger than yesterday?"
"Look at Song Qian. He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining yesterday, but now he's already broken through to the eighth level!"
Several disciples who knew acquaintances at Qingyue Peak ignored their fatigue and quickly caught up with him. "What's wrong with you? The last time I saw you, you were still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Have you had any opportunities recently?"
The young cultivator named Song Qian smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. I just used the spiritual essence given by my master."
"Spiritual Essence?" The disciple was shocked. "That must be very rare. Your Master is so kind to you."
"That's not true. Our Master is so kind to us!"
"She herself is reluctant to use that spiritual essence."
More and more disciples began to praise Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao, who was walking in the front, stopped and couldn't help but smile after seeing this scene.
In fact, this spiritual essence is only useful to cultivators below the foundation-building stage, and it is of little use to her in the Golden Core stage.
But after she told these disciples, they actually thought that she said that on purpose because she didn't want them to have any psychological burden. They were even more moved by this. They secretly wiped their tears behind her all the way and said that they must repay her, leaving her at a loss as to what to say.
Besides feeling helpless, Ye Zhao also had some emotion. In her previous life, she had paid a lot for those ungrateful people, but in the end, when she counted their kindness to him and hoped that they would let her go, she was ridiculed by these people for asking for repayment.
And now, even though she has not paid anything in return, these people regard it as a great favor.
It seems that the remaining disciples of Qingyue Peak are stronger than those seven ungrateful people.
Meanwhile, over at Xia Ling Peak, the disciples' envy almost became a reality.
"I also want to go to Qingyue Peak..."
"Oh, if I had known earlier I would have gone to Qingyue Peak!"
Even Pei Yan and Shen Yubai couldn't help but look at the disciples of Qingyue Peak a few more times.
"A bunch of idiots."
Pei Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, if they knew how badly Qingyue Peak would be tricked by Ye Zhao later, they wouldn't say that." Shen Yubai echoed.
As the two were talking, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the sand waves rolled up and raised a cloud of dust, as if some huge monster was approaching.
"Look at the sky!" someone exclaimed.
The disciples looked up and saw a silver-white light breaking through the air from high above.
It was a divine horse with silver scales all over its body and red-gold eyes. Its body looked like a hybrid of a lion and a tiger. It was actually an extremely rare spiritual beast, the Silver Flame Running Lion!
The silver flame lion stepped into the air, circled and stopped at the top of the high slope in front of everyone.
Riding on the beast's back was a girl in a dark gold sword robe. Her hair was tied high, her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were as clear as stars in the snow. The sword at her waist was all blue, and the blade was engraved with nine star patterns, which was very eye-catching at first glance.
"Who is that? So impressive!"
"It's Lin Qingxuan!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"The Saintess of Tianxuan Sect, the future leader Lin Qingxuan!"
These disciples who had heard of her name all looked at her with admiration.
An older female cultivator swallowed her saliva and said, "I heard that Fairy Lin had completed her foundation building at the age of ten, and achieved the initial stage of Golden Core at the age of twelve. Now she is already an early Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Ah, then doesn't that mean he's even stronger than the one at Xia Ling Peak?"
"They are not even on the same level, okay? She has also mastered the Seven Star Sword Controlling Technique. It is said that she is a sword prodigy that has not been surpassed in the Tianxuan Sect for three hundred years."
"She is also the designated successor to the next leader of the Tianxuan Sect, so the Sword-wielding Elder has to give her some leeway!"
"Here it comes!" Shen Yubai, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.
Lin Qingxuan is here, it’s going to be a good show!
Lin Qingxuan looked down at the people below from a high position, and said in a strong voice: "Are you disciples of Qingyue Peak?"
"We are."
Lin Qingxuan gently stroked the Silver Flame Lion's mane, "Where is your Peak Master?"
