Chapter 438: Scaring Others With A Smile

Ye Tian Yun got out of the tavern and headed straight to the chain bridge for Seventh Peak.

As for why he wanted to call Jun Xie to the Capital City?

It was because he would need his illusion technique in the coming days.

Since he was planning to join the war, someone who could create illusions would definitely come in handy.

"I am sure he will definitely come to the Fang Clan. Now that this is done, it's time to prepare to leave the sect."

To leave the sect, Ye Tian Yun needed to give a valid reason to the elders.

'This is not something that I am worried about…'

The part which worried Ye Tian Yun was the change in the prompts.

'If I keep on changing disguise, then that would also affect the favourability…'

'It's a good thing and a bad thing.'

'It's good because I can start over any time and even improve the favourability of my other identity by influencing the target with a new identity.'

'But the major drawback is I will never be able to see the favourability they have against my real identity unless they know who I really am.'

'Is there any way of getting things around this?'

'I will ask once I get back to the cultivation abode…'

Ye Tian Yun thought as he got on the chain bridge.

After a few minutes of the ride, he was on the other side of the endless ravine as he stepped on the Seventh Peak.

As always, the peak was still bustling with disciples. Now, even more so because many disciples wanted to go out for missions to get some extra resources.

Because of the lockdown, the progress of the disciples had slowed down a bit even though the sect had increased the monthly resources quota for everyone.

However, endless resources weren't the only thing needed to increase and stabilize cultivation.

Experience was also needed.

And experience only came from life and death battles while doing the sect missions.

This was why many disciples were enthusiastic about going out.

Not to forget that the Grand Spirit Hunt had also been postponed for six months now.

Meaning the total time left for the Grand Spirit Hunt was now eight months!

In eight months, almost anyone could jump to a cultivation level if they cultivated properly.

Some geniuses might even jump two levels of the cultivation realm.

This meant that the result of the Grand Spirit Hunt was now going in an unpredictable direction.

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and entered the Inner Court.

He wanted to head to his cultivation abode and focus on planning his next few steps.

However, before he could step on the sixth floor, he was once again blocked by a group of disciples.

It was the same bunch.

'Not again…'

Ye Tian Yun was now getting annoyed.

He didn't wish to waste his time in throwing weak disciples out of the stage.

"Follow us to the battle arena!" The disciple who had earlier challenged him said. He said it loud enough to make the other disciples on the stairway stop.

He was clearly trying to get some attention on this incident to force Ye Tian Yun to follow through with peer pressure.

And as expected, the disciples around them slowed down. Some even waited to witness the whole outcome.

'What was this guy's name?' Ye Tian Yun couldn't recall, 'Never mind, he's not worth it.'

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, and putting his hands on the disciple's shoulders, he smiled.

"Are you sure?"

As soon as the words reached the disciple in front of him, the disciple's face paled.

His hands trembled as he stared at Ye Tian Yun in shock.

"You… you…"

"Don't say anything, or those will be your last words."

"Ah… yes… yes…" The disciple gulped and stepped back.

Making way for Ye Tian Yun to go.

"Good boy."

Ye Tian Yun smiled at him and headed inside.

Seeing Ye Tian Yun head inside, the other disciples around them looked at the disciple who had challenged, in confusion. 

While the latter staggered back and hit the wall.

Sliding down, he fell to the ground.

His face was pale, and his legs were weak.

Even the robes on his back were now soaking wet because of sweat.

"What happened to Ren Dum?" One of the disciples couldn't help but ask. The disciples who had earlier stopped had a gloated expression over their faces.

As for Ren Dun's companions, they had come here to enjoy a good show, not their friend pissing his pants just because of a smile from the opponent.

"Yo…you guys didn't hear anything?" Ren Dum asked for confirmation.

"Hear what?" The disciples were not getting annoyed by his antics.

'Do you think we have the whole day to go after you blocking someone's path? And when we do, you end up getting weak legs and fall on the ground because of fear? What in the fucking hell?'

His companions shook their heads and picked up the lost Ren Dum as they left the scene, avoiding any further embarrassment.

As for Ren Dum, there was only one word in his mind.

'Spirit Message… Spirit Message…'

That's right. Ye Tian Yun had simply smiled at Ren Dum and had talked through a spirit message.

An ability that came only to the Foundation Establishment or higher realm cultivators.

Indirectly, Ye Tian Yun had given a little warning, scaring away this random disciple.

…

After a few minutes, Ye Tian Yun was sitting cross-legged in his cultivation abode.

'I wonder what will be the outcome of my meeting with the younger Wang Yao?'

He had spared Xiao Ming, but that didn't mean he was going to show mercy to others.

Somewhere in his heart, he wasn't satisfied with just sparing Xiao Ming, and once in a while even had second thoughts about it.

After all, for eight months, he prepared himself to strike, kept a low profile, waited patiently, only to spare his enemy?

'I wonder what has influenced me?'

This was an interesting question.

But he didn't know the answer.

Maybe it was on a whim, or perhaps he was influenced by his father's words… Ye Tian Yun couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.

Though in the end, leaving Xiao Ming alive turned out to be the right option because of the Trial that Token Of Fate put him in.

'I won't show mercy to the next target.'

Ye Tian Yun could only vow on this for now.

"Should I go and see Xiao Ming just to make sure?"
