Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Major Sects (2)

Elder Mo and Elder Shentian turned toward the owner of the voice.

After seeing her beautiful and graceful appearance, both of them sneered faintly.

She looked to be in her thirties, possessing an alluring and mature figure.

She wore a blue robe that nicely accentuated her curves.

Behind her stood several female elders, each one not much inferior to her in terms of beauty.

Before Elder Mo and Elder Shentian could reply—

Another rough voice rang out as yet another elder arrived.

“Elder Lu, long time no see. You’re as graceful as ever… though it would be even better if you gained a bit more muscle.”

At those words, Elder Mo, Elder Shentian, and even the mature and graceful Elder Lu all turned to look.

They saw a huge figure, look almost like a giant, standing nearly 2.5 meters tall.

His bronze skin gleamed under the light, and everywhere one looked, ….it was pure muscle.

He wore no upper robe, openly revealing his hardened and well-defined torso to the world.

However, what always threw people off….was his youthful face.

Handsome and refined, his face make him looked more like a scholar in his twenties.

Elder Lu’s red lips twitched slightly when she heard his words.

“Ah, Elder… Mountain Crasher. Thank you, but no thank you. I think my figure is perfect the way it is.”

Elder Mountain Crasher sighed in disappointment upon hearing this.

“It really would look great though…”

He then turned his gaze toward Elder Mo and Elder Shentian.

Both of them quickly avoided his eyes, clearly unwilling to be dragged into another strange discussion by this muscle fanatic.

Qing Lianhua, who had been listening from the side, couldn’t help but ask Yu Lianru.

’Hey, why does that elder’s name sound so strange?’

Her gaze lingered on the massive, muscular giant with the youthful face.

Yu Lianru understood what she meant and smiled.

“Ah… that’s the famous Elder Mountain Crasher from the Earth Dragon Sect. He’s a prodigy in body-tempering cultivation and was among the strongest of his generation. As for his name? I’m not sure either, but it seems he prefers to be called that.”

Qing Lianhua nodded after hearing this and looked around curiously at the elders from the other major sects.

It felt strange to her as this was the first time she had actually met elders from the other major sects.

She was a newly promoted elder, and even before that, she had focused almost entirely on alchemy.

She rarely had the chance to leave the sect, as the sect leader prepared nearly everything she needed, leaving her only to refine pills.

Now, she couldn’t help but look around with curiosity.

Meanwhile—

On the Azure Moon Sect’s ship, the door to Yue Lan’s room slowly opened.

Li Feng who look refreshed stepped out casually, while adjusting his sash as he walked out.

Behind him, Yue Lan followed, already back to her usual composed self.

She lightly licked her still-stained lips before closing the door.

“Oh? Are those elders from the other sects?”

Li Feng asked as he looked toward the scene above.

Yue Lan calmly walked to his side and nodded.

“Yes. That elder carrying the large sword should be from the Heavenly Sword Sect. And that graceful female elder is likely from the Waterflow Sect.”

Li Feng looked at the alluring female elder with interest, then shifted his gaze to the towering mass of muscle and his expression turning strange.

“And who’s that big one?”

Yue Lan followed his line of sight and replied, “Judging by his physique, he should be an elder from the Earth Dragon Sect. With this, four of the five major sects have gathered.”

Li Feng cast a curious glance at the elders hovering in the distance.

He knew the Azure Moon Sect was a major sect, but he had never encountered elders from the other major sects before, as he having spent most of his time cooped up inside the sect.

’So Bai Qianlong belongs to a major sect as well? No wonder… that guy really is a beast.’

His thoughts slowly began to wander.

After chatting for a while, Elder Shentian suddenly smiled and took out a sword from his storage ring.

“Hehe, let this one help prepare the landing spot, shall I?”

With those words, he casually swung his ordinary-looking sword.

Swing-!

In an instant, the trees below were cleanly cut in half.

“You’re still too crude. Let me show you how it’s done.”

The beautiful Elder Lu smiled as she casually formed hand seals.

Suddenly, a sphere of water appeared beneath her feet.

It quickly transformed into the shape of a roaring water dragon that surged downward, washing away the severed trees and even uprooting those still standing.

Elder Mo simply walked forward with his hands behind his back.

“Hmph. What a bunch of show-offs.”

Meanwhile, Elder Mountain Crasher had already approached one of the elders from the Heavenly Sword Sect and begun his enthusiastic recruitment.

Before long, the area below was completely cleared.

Seeing this, Elder Mo casually waved his hand and activated the ship’s transportation formation as light descended from above, enveloping the deck.

Moments later, all the disciples aboard the ship appeared on the cleared ground below.

The other elders followed suit, transporting their disciples as well.

Soon, the vast open area was filled with disciples from various sects.

Naturally, the disciples began sizing one another up.

Li Feng was among the curious ones as he observed a group of disciples emitting sharp, dangerous auras.

Their white sect uniforms gave them a heroic air, especially with the swords strapped to their backs.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him.

“Those should be disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Since most of them cultivate the path of the sword, their aura tends to feel sharp and dangerous.”

Li Feng turned and smiled.

“Senior Brother Wang really knows a lot.”

Wang Chen, who had arrived beside Li Feng, shook his head and smiled wryly.

“Well, if you work in the library long enough, you’re bound to learn a thing or two.”

Then Wang Chen subtly gestured toward a short female disciple standing at the front of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s group.

She had simple black hair and black eyes, with a toned figure.

Her chest and hips were neither too large nor too small, appearing perfectly balanced.

What caught Li Feng’s attention most, however, were her sharp eyes—aloof, cold, and …..seemingly angry at all times.

Among the tall and heroic disciples, she stood out due to her height.

Despite being the shortest, she stood at the very front, as if she were their leader.

Wang Chen lowered his voice.

“That’s Jian Ruyi…. I heard she’s the strongest among the outer disciples of her generation. Even the elders of her sect highly praise her sword talent.”

Hearing this, Li Feng glanced over and nodded.

Then,

Almost as if Jian Ruyi sensed something, she suddenly looked straight at him.

Her cold, sharp gaze met his.

’…Such sharp intuition.’

He murmured softly before shifting his gaze away, turning instead toward a group of female disciples dressed in blue.

There were a few male disciples, but the majority of them were female.

What caught Li Feng’s attention was the woman at the front.

She wore pale blue, flowing robes tied with a simple blue sash.

Her long black hair was loosely bound, with a few strands falling over her face.

Her figure was full and alluring but seem natural beneath the fabric, and her expression calm, radiating an easy confidence rather than sharp pressure.

Wang Chen followed his gaze and smiled.

“Those are disciples from the Waterflow Sect. Their techniques are famous for defense and counters. The woman at the front is Shui Ruo—she’s also the strongest outer sect disciple there.”

Li Feng let out a soft sigh.

“It seems everyone who claims the title of ’strongest’ is never simple.”

Wang Chen nodded and then pointed to a group of imposing disciples, both male and female, whose bodies were clearly honed through rigorous training.

“And finally, those are from the Earth Dragon Sect. They specialize in body tempering, just like you, Junior Brother Li.”

His gaze fell on the largest among them, standing at the front.

The young man appeared to be in his twenties, with long black hair and a gentle, easygoing face….but the rest of him left no doubt about his strength.

Because his sect uniform looked as if it ready to burst from his massive frame.

“That should be Tie Shan,” Wang Chen said. “I’ve heard his talent rivals or may even surpass Bai Qianlong from the previous generation.”

But then he shook his head regretfully.

“Too bad Bai Qianlong was declared dead in an accident. Otherwise, with these two, they might have become a formidable genius duo.”

Li Feng remained silent, letting out a quiet sigh.

He couldn’t help but remember the promise he had made to Bai Qianlong.

But he had no clue what his sister looked like or what her name was.

’Seems like I’ll have to ask them. It shouldn’t be too hard since Bai Qianlong is fairly famous.’

His gaze began to wandered across all the strong, heroic disciples here and couldn’t help but look in admiration.

“…So these are the Righteous Major Sects.” he murmured.
