Chapter 18: Is This Really the Lingyun Sect? Master, Don’t Lie to Me

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An hour ago, outside the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate.

A young man dressed in Lingyun Sect attire was crawling on the mountain path with great difficulty.

The man’s hair was messy, his clothes were tattered, and his entire body was covered in injuries.

However, one could see his vigorousness between his straight brows and the stars in his eyes. His figure was tall and straight.

With just one look, one could tell that he was a young talent!

He was Jiang Yiming’s second disciple, Ye Yunfan.

“I’m finally back at the Lingyun Sect,” Ye Yunfan looked at the familiar mountain path and could not help but mumble.

He had been suffering along the way with all his injuries, but he did not dare to delay on the road. He only hoped that he could return to the Lingyun Sect as soon as possible.

Now that the sect was right in front of him, Ye Yunfan was relieved. He suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was being drained.

“I have to hold on, only the last stretch is left,” Ye Yunfan felt that every word he said was extremely exhausting.

He slowly crawled on the rugged mountain path. He was only a short distance away from the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gates.

When he finally reached the mountain gates with great difficulty, he could not help but force a bitter smile.

However, the minute he looked up, the smile on his face immediately froze.

He saw that within the Lingyun Sect, there was an incomparably grand hall.

Although it was very far away, Ye Yunfan could still see it clearly.

The grand hall had carved beams and was picturesque. The eaves pointed upwards, towering into the clouds.

Indistinctly, there seemed to be a celestial aura lingering around the hall, and it was surrounded by Dao.

It was like a palace in the sky that appeared in a sea of clouds and mist. Light shimmered and it seemed incomparably mystical.

Even just by looking at the palace from afar, the spiritual energy within his body had become much denser.

When had Ye Yunfan ever seen such a mystical scene?

“Is this the Lingyun Sect? Could it be that my eyes are deceiving me?” Ye Yunfan rubbed his eyes forcefully.

However, when he opened his eyes once more, he saw that the magnificent palace was still there.

With this, he was completely dumbfounded. His tone was full of shock and doubt as he cried out, “How is this possible? Could this be a fantasy? The Lingyun Sect has long fallen into disrepair, how could there be such a building? I’m afraid that even a first rank force wouldn’t be able to own such a palace.”

The scene was just too shocking.

He had only left the Lingyun Sect for a few days, how could a large hall suddenly appear?

However, the more he thought about it, the faster the energy in his body drained away.

In a short while, Ye Yunfan suddenly felt his vision go black.

His legs went jelly, and he fainted on the side of the road.

…

“Where… is this?”

Ye Yunfan slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

The first thing he saw was the unfamiliar ceiling.

In his memory, he should have fainted on the side of the rugged mountain road.

However, the softness from his back made him know that he was lying on the bed.

“Second senior brother, you’re awake?!” Huang Chaoyu’s pleasantly surprised voice sounded in his ear.

Then, her cute and fair little face was reflected in his eyes.

“Little junior sister?!”

Seeing this familiar face, Ye Yunfan could not help but be delighted.

Huang Zhaoyu looked at his pale face and hurriedly asked, “Senior brother, what’s happened? Do you feel better? You seem to be seriously injured.”

“I’m fine. Am I dreaming? I didn’t expect my dream to be so vivid,” Ye Yunfan sighed.

“Senior brother, what are you talking about? What dream did you have?”

“Junior sister, aren’t I dreaming now?”

Huang Zhaoyu finally understood that her senior brother thought he was dreaming.

She couldn’t help but laugh, “Senior brother, you are not dreaming. You fainted just now, but you are awake now.”

“Could it be that this is really not a dream? But…”

Ye Yunfan was still skeptical. Then, he saw Jiang Yiming approaching.

“Master! You can stand up already? It seems that I am really dreaming. You have suffered such serious injuries. You weren’t supposed to be able to recover in at least a month. It seems that I miss you too much. That’s why I’m dreaming that you’ve recovered,” As Ye Yunfan said this, his eyes turned red.

Seeing his actions, Jiang Yiming could not help but shake his head.

Then, he stretched out his finger and directly flicked Ye Yunfan’s head.

“Ouch!”

Ye Yunfan felt the pain on his forehead and abruptly came to his senses.

“Master, have you really recovered? I am not dreaming, am I?”

“Nonsense, of course you’re not dreaming. Who would feel pain in a dream?”

Jiang Yiming rolled his eyes.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Yunfan panicked and wanted to get out of bed to bow to Jiang Yiming.

However, just as he sat up, a few of the wounds on his body immediately ruptured.

“Hiss!” The intense pain made Ye Yunfan suck in a breath of cold air.

“Alright, there’s no need for all the formalities now, just lie down,” Jiang Yiming shook his head helplessly.

Huang Chaoyu quickly helped Ye Yunfan lie down.

Ye Yunfan could only laugh bitterly.

Jiang Yiming waited for him to be lying again before he asked, “What’s exactly with your injuries?”

Ye Yunfan did not hide anything and told him everything, “Master, I’m sorry to have been useless, I have failed you. When I was looking for medicine at the foot of the mountain, I unintentionally discovered ruins in a cave. After my careful investigation, I found that it was left by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. I had intended to enter to look for opportunities, but I didn’t expect to be targeted by some malicious people. I was useless. I let those people hunt me down and ended up in this state.”

“Damn it, those evil people went too far!” Hearing Ye Yunfan’s narration, Huang Chaoyu immediately flew into a rage.

Jiang Yiming’s expression wasn’t good either.

Although Ye Yunfan had only said a few words about the matter of him being hunted down, from the injuries on his body, Jiang Yiming could tell that the situation back then had been extremely dangerous.

After all, even some Core Formation Realm cultivators would yearn for the things left behind by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and would make a move to get them.

At this moment, Ye Yunfan was more concerned about his surroundings.

He swept his gaze across the room, his eyes filled with shock.

“Master, where are we?”

“Aren’t we in the Lingyun Sect? Where else can we go?” When Huang Chaoyu saw her senior brother’s shocked expression, she was amused, “Senior brother, could it be that you have forgotten about the Lingyun Sect?”

“How could I forget about the Lingyun Sect? But this room is so exquisite, how could it be…” Ye Yunfan refused to believe it as he shook his head and said.

Huang Zhaoyu could not help but laugh out loud.

Her senior brother’s shocked expression was even more exaggerated than hers.

Now, Master could not say that she had not seen the world, right?

“Senior brother, this is really the Lingyun sect. If you don’t believe me, just ask Master.”

Ye Yunfan turned his head to look at his Master.

Under his gaze, Jiang Yiming slowly nodded his head.

In that instant, Ye Yunfan’s heart trembled.

He was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.
