And so, a huge uproar ended inexplicably, perfectly illustrating the saying "much ado about nothing."
Han Sa's meticulously planned scheme to "squeeze out" Lu Wenxing ended up being a complete waste of time.
He watched as public opinion fermented, and the entire cultivation world was abuzz with the news of Lu Wenxing being a half-demon. He had thought that Lu Wenxing would be afraid and would leave on his own initiative.
But Lu Wenxing remained completely unmoved, staying firmly inside the Lianfeng Sword Sect and refusing to come out.
Later, he received news that the high-level cultivators from the four sects had collectively gone to the Lianfeng Sword Sect. What they were going to do was obvious to everyone.
At that moment, he was already certain that Lu Wenxing would be expelled soon.
But in the end, Lu Wenxing was completely unharmed, and there was no indication that he was expelled from the sect!
What's going on with them? Aren't righteous sects supposed to be the least tolerant of this kind of thing? Could it be that Lu Wenxing is lying to them? Denying that he's a half-demon?
But before long, news spread throughout the town that Lu Wenxing was indeed a half-demon.
Their sect already knows he's a half-demon!
Han Sa waited anxiously for him to be expelled from the sect, but nothing happened.
The Lianfeng Sword Sect acted as if they knew nothing about this matter. Those who went to the Lianfeng Sword Sect all returned, and there was no reaction from them, as if the matter of the half-demon did not exist.
They clearly went to the Lianfeng Sword Sect with great fanfare, so how come they came back without making any progress at all!
Their original intention was to drive Lu Wenxing out, leaving him with nowhere to turn but to seek refuge with his grandfather. However, they have been waiting and waiting, but have not received any news of his expulsion. This is both extremely anxious and perplexing!
Lu Wenxing, after making a contract with Shi Xuan, actually reached the Godhood realm in just two days!
Since he obtained that snow-white demon core from the Nine-Story Pagoda, his cultivation speed has increased rapidly. But how easy is it to break through the barrier of the Nascent Soul stage? Even Lin Daozi estimated that he would need to wait at least two or three years to settle down before making any progress.
However, without any warning, the bottleneck was broken!
The tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul stage struck eighty-one times in the back mountain of the Lianfeng Sword Sect. Shi Xuan and Lu Shen went to help, making Lu Wenxing's tribulation seem somewhat dangerous, but in reality, it was extremely safe.
Shi Xuan controlled the intensity of the tribulation lightning to a level that allowed him to temper himself while remaining within his limits. Lu Wenxing did not have an easy time during this tribulation, and was struck quite hard by the lightning, even more severely than the tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, with his junior sister and senior brother present, he felt very at ease and had no thought that he couldn't overcome the tribulation.
In response, Shi Xuan could only sigh: "Fools are sometimes lucky."
It's important to understand that many people face immense difficulties and dangers during their Nascent Soul Tribulation, let alone the Deity Transformation Tribulation.
Lu Wenxing was in the Nine-Story Pagoda during his Nascent Soul Tribulation, with Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi by his side. Now that he has reached the Deity Transformation stage, Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi are still his protectors.
Moreover, both Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi possess lightning spiritual roots, so the lightning tribulation is somewhat beneficial to them. With the support of these two, they feel exceptionally relaxed.
Seeing this, Lin Daozi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. His disciples' cultivation levels were increasing rapidly, and before anything had happened, three of them had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
In a few more years, I'm afraid all his disciples will surpass him.
But this is good, and Lin Daozi is very pleased.
After Lu Wenxing passed his tribulation, Lu Shenzhi and Lu Shenzhi sat down together to discuss the matter of cultivation speed.
“I suspect that my faster cultivation speed in the past two years may be related to you,” Lu Shenzhi pondered.
"A contract?" Apart from that, Shi Xuan didn't know how else to explain it.
Lu Shenzhi nodded. "Especially seeing that the second brother has reached the Nascent Soul stage so quickly after the contract. Before, if he wanted to reach the Nascent Soul stage, he would have needed at least another three to five years to mature."
If that's the case...
Shi Xuan led Lu Shenzhi into the Silver Frost and immediately questioned each of the spirit pets within.
However, these spirit pets did not show any obvious signs of rapid growth in their cultivation.
Only the eldest and second eldest brothers...
There is no precedent for this, and Shi Xuan doesn't know how to explain it either.
Calling Hong Chi out to ask him questions only elicited a cold snort and a laugh.
"Hmph, how could you even think of that? I've never seen anyone treat a person as a spirit pet through a contract before!"
"Senior, it's not about becoming a spirit pet, it's just borrowing the contract formation... it's an equal contract..."
"Hmph, it's just a contract anyway!" Hong Chi glanced at Lu Shenzhi, who showed no reaction whatsoever, and said, "Cultivators these days are truly too decadent!"
After saying that, he went back, leaving only Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi looking at each other in bewilderment.
The degenerate Lu Shenzhi shrugged and said, "I feel it's a contractual relationship. Junior Sister and these spirit pets have a master-servant contract. Is that the reason?"
"Let's just assume that's how it is," Shi Xuan couldn't think of any other reason. "Let's observe Second Senior Brother again and see if he continues to show obvious signs of accelerating his cultivation."
Lu Wenxing was not easy to observe. After successfully transforming into a Nascent Soul cultivator, he felt that he had achieved the greatest accomplishment in his life and went out to play even more.
He had long forgotten what cultivation was.
In this situation, the people who are "newly born" are the ones who are suffering the most.
They were tasked by their lord to bring Lu Wenxing back, but now he refuses to leave the sect all day, and even spreading the news that he is a half-demon has not done anything to him.
As time went by, Han Sa and the others became increasingly anxious.
Following the rumors about the half-demon, they released further statements, such as the half-demon spying in the cultivation world and being spies of the demon race, in an attempt to influence public opinion and force the Lianfeng Sword Sect to expel Lu Wenxing.
But after those rumors circulated among the common people for a while, they disappeared without a trace.
Lu Wenxing acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all, and the Lianfeng Sword Sect didn't react at all either.
He didn't believe they didn't know.
Every sect has disciples monitoring the markets outside. If any unusual discussions arise, whether they concern the disciples or other sects in the cultivation world, they must be reported promptly to ensure the sect remains well-informed.
So, the Lianfeng Sword Sect must have owed Lu Wenxing some enormous favor, that they don't even intend to pursue this matter.
Left with no other choice, the group resorted to the most rudimentary method: the more skilled members disguised themselves as passersby and hid in the market of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, waiting for Lu Wenxing to appear.
