Chapter 29: Rising Fame, the Huoyun Sect’s Plans

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

Jiang Yiming scrutinized the Imperial Advisor.

This Imperial Advisor was quite powerful. He was at the middle-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Jiang Yiming immediately felt a headache.

He wondered what was with today. He had just “sent away” a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and now another one had come.

What was this old fellow here for?

He said to the Imperial Advisor expressionlessly, “Old sir, who are you? Why have you come to the Lingyun Sect?”

At this time, Huang Chaoyu and the others came to their senses. Their attention fell on the old man as well.

Just now, this old man had saved them when the situation was critical.

They did not know why.

Looking at how Huang Chaoyu and the others had taken a few steps away from him, the Imperial Advisor could not help but laugh bitterly.

Then, he cupped his hands towards Jiang Yiming and said slowly, “I am the Imperial Advisor of the Divine Phoenix Empire, Huang Tianchi.”

Hearing this, Gu Lingfei and the others didn’t have any reaction, but Jiang Yiming and Huang Zhaoyu couldn’t stay calm.

Huang Tianchi paused and said with a smile, “I came here to bring the Princess back.”

“Princess? Who is the Princess?”

Gu Lingfei and Ye Yunfan were confused by the old man’s words.

However, Jiang Yiming didn’t have time to explain to them.

He glanced at Huang Tianchi and said expressionlessly, “If you want to bring Xiaoyu back, you have to ask her if she agrees.”

As soon as he said this, Huang Chaoyu shook her head fiercely, “Imperial Advisor Huang, I won’t return to the Divine Phoenix Empire. Please go back.”

Huang Tianchi wanted to say something, but Jiang Yiming would not give him the chance.

He quickly waved his hand and said, “Alright, you heard what Xiaoyu said. Please take your leave. If Xiaoyu wants to return to the Divine Phoenix Empire, I will naturally ensure her safe return. If she doesn’t want to, none of you can force her!”

Jiang Yiming said these words in an extremely calm manner, but they had an unquestionable might.

Huang Tianchi wondered if he was shocked by Jiang Yiming’s battle just now. For a moment, he didn’t dare to reply.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh and helplessly said, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble sect leader Jiang. I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Huang Tianchi glanced at Huang Chaoyu again and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and left.

Seeing him leave, Huang Chaoyu instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

The three disciples hurriedly surrounded Jiang Yiming and carefully made sure he was fine.

…

A few days later, the Lingyun Sect was now the hot news among all the Sects and unaffiliated cultivators.

To think they were able to make a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse die in hatred, the Lingyun Sect seemed to have become something that no one could see through.

Many with keen senses even personally visited the Lingyun Sect.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Yiming had sent away a group of people who had come to visit.

“Master, the Lingyun Sect can be considered famous now!” Huang Chaoyu said with a smile.

However, Jiang Yiming shook his head and sighed, “What’s the use of having a bit of fame? There’s still no one willing to join the Lingyun Sect. They can come and act all friendly with us today, but if the people from the Huoyun Sect come to take revenge in the future, they might be the first to add insult to injury.”

Gu Lingfei, who was at the side, nodded as if he had understood something.

He had been traveling for a long time, so he had some understanding of the nature of those cultivators.

“Master is right. These are just a bunch of fence-sitters. They’ll fall wherever the wind blows. The most important thing is that we have to be strong enough!”

“Yes, Lingfei is right,” Jiang Yiming praised before asking, “Oh right, Lingfei, where is Miss Yue?”

“I’ve already asked her to leave the mountain,” Jiang Yiming was stunned for a moment before he reacted, “Lingfei, are you worried that she will be implicated when the people from the Huoyun Sect will come looking for revenge?”

“Yes, Master, the Huoyun Sect…” Gu Lingfei admitted it directly, but there were some things that he couldn’t say out loud.

However, Huang Chaoyu and the others all knew what he meant.

Jiang Yiming had killed the other party’s Nascent Soul elder. It was likely it wouldn’t be long before the Huoyun Sect would come swarming like hornets from a nest.

Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his disciples lowering their heads.

He scolded, “Alright, what are you all worried about? I can even kill their Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, I’m not afraid of them! Relax, even if the sky falls, I’ll be there to hold it off.”

“That can’t do, Master, I will hold it off with you!”

“Us too! We’ll all hold it off together!”

Hearing Jiang Yiming’s words, Huang Chaoyu and the others raised their heads and said firmly.

Jiang Yiming was touched by their words.

At the same time, in the Huoyun Sect, the sect leader sat on the throne in the main hall. His gaze was like a sharp sword as it swept across the people in the hall.

“Everyone, do give suggestions on what to do. If we don’t deal with this matter properly, the Huoyun Sect will be destroyed!”

The people in the hall were both furious and terrified.

For a moment, no one dared to make a sound.

“What’s wrong? Are you all mute?” The sect leader’s voice suddenly turned cold.

Immediately, an elder couldn’t help but step forward, “Sect leader, in my opinion, why don’t we start a sect war and raze the Lingyun Sect to the ground?”

“No!” As soon as he finished speaking, another elder stood out, “The Lingyun Sect was originally just a shabby sect that was affiliated to the Huoyun Sect. I’ve already asked the disciple who went to the Lingyun Sect for the offerings half a month ago. Back then, their sect leader was severely injured by the disciple. Now that the Lingyun Sect had been able to kill Elder Yan, I’m afraid that someone is behind the scenes!”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on him.

The elder paused for a moment before continuing, “Recently, people from the Divine Phoenix Empire have frequently crossed the borders and trespassed into the jurisdiction of the Huoyun Sect. I’m afraid that this matter is inextricably linked to them! The Divine Phoenix Empire’s strength isn’t inferior to ours. If this conjecture is true, I’m afraid that this matter will be troublesome.”

Upon hearing this, everyone revealed a look of sudden realization.

Compared to the speculation that a down-and-out sect had the strength to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, this conjecture sounded more like reality.

However, when they thought about how their opponent was probably the Divine Phoenix Empire, everyone immediately became a little worried.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, how could the sect leader on the throne not understand what they were thinking?

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, “Since that’s the case, we’ll wait for the grand elder to come out of seclusion before making a decision.”

…

At this moment, Jiang Yiming was also sitting in the main hall of the Lingyun Sect.

However, there was no one in front of him. All three of his disciples had gone to cultivate.

They needed to increase their strength as soon as possible so that they could be of help to their Master when the Huoyun Sect came for revenge.

At this moment, the cold voice of the system rang out.

[Ding!]

[Notification]: The main mission “make a name for yourself” has been completed.

[Notification]: Would you like to receive the reward, the Four Symbols Array?

Jiang Yiming was delighted.
