Chapter 98 - The Sensation Caused By Han Yue

What left a deep impression on the great elder was the young man. He was obviously a human rank level 2, an ant that could be crushed to death with one hand, but his background was not simple.

Not only was the young man able to take out so many supreme-grade spirit stones, but he was also able to use such a powerful Sword Qi.

“He might be the descendant of some hidden expert. That’s why he has such a powerful weapon. If that’s the case, then our Dao Seeking Sect has provoked a powerful and terrifying enemy.”

The great elder was a little worried, but he soon threw it to the back of his mind. He muttered, “If that kid really had a great background, how could he be so easily killed by me? I’m afraid he was only lucky to be able to obtain these things.”

“Now that the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram have been destroyed, no one will be able to get it. This is good.”

Soon, the great elder also received the news about the Jingdu auction house, but he didn’t take it to heart. He also didn’t tell anyone about the destruction of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.

Not many people would believe him even if he told them. Moreover, he felt embarrassed that he was almost made so miserable by a low-level cultivator. If this news spread, how humiliated would he be? Thus, only the Dao Seeking Sect’s sect master and a few people knew.

The popularity of the matter didn’t last long. After all, whether it was one of the main characters of the Jingdu auction house or the person who had auctioned the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, it didn’t matter.

One of them had disappeared into thin air, while the other was extremely mysterious. No one knew his true identity. How could things continue to develop without the involved parties making any moves?

However, the people of the seven big sects didn’t give up on searching for the whereabouts of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. They were still sending people to investigate secretly. As long as the information was true, they would be able to obtain endless benefits.

The popularity of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram was quickly replaced by another major event in the capital, the sect returning ceremony.

Seeing that the sect returning ceremony was imminent, Ye Xuan was immersed in cultivation and did not know what day it was. If not for Lin Yuanheng’s reminder, he would have almost forgotten about the sect returning ceremony.

“The sect returning ceremony is about to begin so soon?”

Ye Xuan had been engrossed in cultivation these days and did not pay much attention to Lin Yuanheng. It had only been a few days since they last met, but Lin Yuanheng’s entire body had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his cultivation was rising.

“Not bad, kid. It seems you’ve been working hard recently.”

Ye Xuan patted Lin Yuanheng’s shoulder. From the corner of his eye, he saw a ring on his ring finger. It looked extremely unremarkable and was a very ordinary thing.

Lin Yuanheng felt uncomfortable under Ye Xuan’s gaze and almost thought that Ye Xuan had discovered something. He subconsciously put his hands behind his back and smiled embarrassedly. He asked, “Elder Ye, why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing,” Ye Xuan said meaningfully, “I just wanted to see your ring. I’ve never seen you wear it before.”

When Lin Yuanheng heard this, he became even more nervous. He replied, “I just bought it from a stall. I’m wearing it for fun.”

Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything, but he looked a little agitated.

[Ding! Special item detected, it contains a remnant soul]

Checking it with the system, it was almost the same as he had guessed. This ring was not ordinary. There must be an old grandpa or something inside, which must be Lin Yuanheng’s secret weapon.

At the same time, an old voice sounded in Lin Yuanheng’s mind, “Is this the Elder Ye that you always talk about? He’s not simple.”

Lin Yuanheng looked at Ye Xuan’s departing back and said gratefully, “He’s my benefactor. If it wasn’t for Elder Ye’s intervention, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be where I am today, and I wouldn’t even have the fate to get to know you, Elder Bai.”

Elder Bai was an ancient remnant soul. If even Elder Bai said so, then Ye Xuan was naturally extraordinary. Perhaps Ye Xuan was even more powerful than Lin Yuanheng had imagined.

…

The Tai Qing Sect had long been prepared and had arrived at the square in the center of the capital.

They thought they were already early enough, but they didn’t expect it to be so crowded. The large venue was almost full of people, and it was extremely lively.

The streets and alleys were also empty. It could be said that everyone had gone to watch the show. After all, this was a rare event.

The people standing at the square were all from sects from all over the world. There were also countless large and small high platforms beside the square, allowing one to clearly see the scene below.

These high platforms were left for the people of the seven great sects.

Every year, the sect returning ceremony would be particularly intense. There were so many sects, hundreds or even thousands of them, but only a few dozen spots were fixed. This year, the number of people was even more, almost filling the entire square.

“What’s going on this year? There are too many people.”

“That’s right. I heard that the number of sects participating in this year’s sect returning ceremony is dozens of times more than the previous years.”

“Sigh, I don’t know if there’s hope for our sect. It’d be great if we could enter the seven great sects.”

“What kind of people are the seven great sects? To be able to take a fancy to a small sect like ours, I don’t have high expectations. If I can be taken a fancy to by other sects in the capital, I’ll be satisfied.”

The seven great sects could be said to be standing at the top of the pyramid in the entire Central Province, even the continent. Almost everyone was fixated on trying to squeeze into it.

Even if they couldn’t get in, it would still be a good thing if they were noticed by the sects under the seven great sects.

For example, the seven great sects were the direct descendants, and those who were named were the collateral relatives. Although they could not be compared to the orthodox sects, they were more or less related to the seven great sects, so they were also a good choice.

The arrival of the Tai Qing Sect quickly caused a great commotion in the crowd. The reason was none other than Han Yue’s outstanding face. Even in a place like the capital where there were many capable people, that face of hers was still very impactful.

“She’s so pretty. She’s almost as pretty as the fairies of the Yaochi Holy Land.”

“With her looks, she’s worth at least 90 points. How come I’ve never seen her before?”

“They should be from some other remote place.”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect had long been accustomed to this. After all, Han Yue had caused a sensation before.

As the people from the other sects arrived one after another, the Tai Qing Sect was quickly left behind. After all, apart from Han Yue’s face, they did not seem to have any other special features.
