Chapter 55 the pot calling the kettle black

After being deeply shocked, Qin Zimo suddenly regained her senses.

“By the way, now that I’m heavily injured, I can use this array formation to help me treat my injuries. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”

Thinking of this, Qin Zimo immediately took out some spirit stones from her storage bag to replace the spirit stones that Lu Xiaoran had almost exhausted his spirit energy to activate the grand array again.

The next moment, she felt an overwhelming spirit energy quickly gather over.

Hiss!

At this moment, Qin Zimo’s heart was filled with a trace of yearning for Lu Xiaoran.

Too powerful!

If he could even set up the most basic Spirit Gathering Formation to this level, just how powerful was this guy?

Moreover, the powerful Lu Xiaoran had been guarding her for who knew how long. Thinking of this, Qin Zimo’s beautiful face could not help but turn red.

Lu Xiaoran naturally did not know that Qin Zimo had already woken up and had even used his spirit gathering formation to treat her injuries.

If he knew that this would happen, he would definitely destroy the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Moreover, he did not know that he had already planted such a powerful impression in Qin Zimo’s heart.

The main reason was that he felt that since Qin Zimo was unconscious, she probably did not even know that was there.

Moreover, the two bears had also distracted him and made him forget to clear the array formation.

After his cultivation reached the fourth level of the Essence Realm, Lu Xiaoran’s speed was clearly much faster when he used the Great Void Chaos Steps.

It was not an exaggeration to say that with one step, he could cover five kilometers in a single step.

This should not be underestimated. It had to be known that a martial artist’s speed far exceeded ordinary humans. In the time that takes an ordinary human to take a single step, Lu Xiaoran would be able to take countless steps.

It was as easy as pie for him to travel hundreds of kilometers in a second.

Therefore, in less than the time for an incense stick to burn, Lu Xiaoran arrived at the Black Tortoise True Sect.

This was his first time in the Black Tortoise True Sect, and Lu Xiaoran immediately could not help but sigh.

“It’s huge!”

The Heaven Demon Sect was actually already very big. According to its scale, it was probably not smaller than a county city on Earth.

However, compared to the Black Tortoise True Sect, a county city paled in comparison.

The Black Tortoise True Sect’s territory was already comparable to an international city on Earth.

The entire area was surrounded by a huge city wall that was 100 meters tall. There were array formations engraved on it that could be used to resist enemies.

Every gate was guarded by cultivators. There was also a sky formation in the sky, making it difficult for people to fly in easily.

There were all kinds of shops inside the city wall.

Spirit Stone Exchange Shop, Demon Beast Exchange Shop, Weapon Selling Shop, Medicinal Pill Selling Shop… There were rows and rows of shops, making people dizzy.

Among them, not all were disciples of the Black Tortoise True Sect. Many of them were probably independent cultivators from other small sects or even sects that had been destroyed and had no home to return to.

However, as long as they paid a certain price, they could enjoy the protection of the Black Tortoise True Sect and do business in its territory.

With this method, the Black Tortoise True Sect could absorb more fresh blood for themselves, including many talented people.

As for ordinary people, if they wanted to join a sect and cultivate, they would definitely prioritize joining a large sect like the Black Tortoise True Sect.

In this way, they received the absorption effect of a big city, making the Black Tortoise True Sect stronger and stronger!

This made Lu Xiaoran feel the strength and charm of a first-rate sect for the first time in his life. It was too powerful!

Here, he would definitely be able to find resources that he could not find in the Heaven Demon Sect.

The two were not on the same level at all.

It was said that some first-rate sects were even able to compete with the Imperial Palace.

Lu Xiaoran clenched his fists tightly and swore to himself.

“I have to cultivate diligently. When I reach the Martial Monarch Realm, I also have to find a large sect like the Black Tortoise True Sect to live an ignoble life. Although there is more freedom in the Heaven Demon Sect, it’s not as safe as the Black Tortoise True Sect.”

The bigger the sect, the fewer dangerous encounters the sect would face.

This was because not many people dared to provoke big sects.

However, Lu Xiaoran would not go to a higher-level sect.

If he was a Martial Monarch Realm expert who was surrounded by King Realm experts, it would be very safe for him to hide inside.

However, if he was also a King Realm expert, it would be pointless for him to hide in a big sect.

If they really fought, they would all be equally matched.

“Stop. Where did you come from? Do you have a token?”

When Lu Xiaoran arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city immediately stopped him.

The robust Lu Xiaoran was naturally a law-abiding good citizen. He was definitely not like those stupid and arrogant protagonists who would brag and fight if they were dissatisfied. Therefore, he quickly took out the Heaven Demon Sect’s identity token from his pocket and handed it over.

“Fellow Dao friend, I’m Lu Xiaoran from the Heaven Demon Sect. Our sect should have already entered the city and registered.”

“Lu Xiaoran.”

The other party took out a mirror-like Dharma treasure. His fingers flipped over twice and quickly found Lu Xiaoran’s information. “The information is there. You can go in.”

“Thank you. Also, may I know the location of the array formation meeting?”

“South of the city. There’s a road sign on the way.” “Thank you.”

Lu Xiaoran thanked the other party and entered the city. He quickly followed the directions of the road sign and arrived at the array formation meeting in the south of the city.

After entering to ask for directions, he quickly found the location designated for the Heaven Demon Sect. Unfortunately, the Heaven Demon Sect’s location was actually right next to the Heaven Sword Sect’s location.

Before he arrived, he heard his sect master and the other party’s sect master arguing.

“Wu Fengyun, your Heaven Sword Sect is only ranked at the x8oth place because you guys got lucky! What’s there to be proud of?”

“So what? We’re still ranked 80th. It’s better than being ranked 100th in a sect, right?” “Tsk! If not for our Heaven Demon Sect’s Elder Lu Xiaoran’s whereabouts being unknown, do you think our Heaven Demon Sect would be ranked 100th?”

“Old Chen, your words are a little unreasonable. That night, in the restaurant, your Heaven Demon Sect’s disciples died, and many of our Heaven Sword Sect’s disciples also died. Is it really such a coincidence that all of the disciples from your sect that died are array masters?”

“Wu Fengyun, I’m going to fight you to the death today. Do you believe that I will kill you right now?”

Sect Master Chen was furious, and Sect Master Wu Fengyun had a disdainful expression.

“Even if you hack me to death, our Heaven Sword Sect will still be ranked 80th. Your Heaven Demon Sect will still be ranked 100th. It also won’t change the fact that our Heaven Sword Sect is stronger than your Heaven Demon Sect.”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran’s face immediately darkened.

He even wanted to leave the competition. If he didn’t come, he could find a place to cultivate for another month. After the competition, he could show up and say that he had lost his way.

It was too embarrassing. One of them was in the top 80, and the other in the top 100. Yet, they still had the cheek to fight!

It was simply the pot calling the kettle black.

What was even more ridiculous was that they were actually very proud of being ranked 80th.

Lu Xiaoran really could not understand them.
