61 Yan Xu

Vaun already finished practicing his sword skills. With a smile on his face, he already goes out and rested first at Diana's house. He then goes out to see Diana looking at him in a daze.

'What's wrong with her?'

Vaun walked forward and pinched her red cheeks and said jokingly: "What? Am I that handsome?" Vaun smiles at her childishly and patted her shoulder as he walks down the valley.

Diana was startled and said shyly: "The expedition is going to start soon. You are coming right?" Her voice was so charming that it captures the hearts of men. She was fidgeting her fingers as she cannot look at Vaun in the eye and only lower his head in embarrassment. She fully remembered what happened that day and she cannot help but feel embarrassed.

Vaun turns around with a smile on his face and said excitedly: "Of course I am. Why are you still standing there? Come on!" Vaun already strode forward not waiting for Diana to respond.

Diana also followed Vaun towards the Ice Crescent Moon Sect.

.....

Ice Crescent Moon Sect, Inner Court

Many people had assembled in the Inner Court of Ice Crescent Moon Sect. All of them are equipped with an extravagant weapon and they are dressed neatly. All of them wore the blue dress of the Ice Crescent Moon Sect and all of them had a medal.

"I think that the Heaven Phoenix Sect of Heaven Phoenix Empire is coming and also the Iron Cloud Sect of Iron Cloud Empire." A female said with excitement.

"Well, what about the Unity Empire? They said the young empress is also coming is that true?"

"I think it is. Being an Empress at only the age of 25, I really adhere to her."

All of the women were talking to each other with different topics.

When all of them were talking, a cold voice permeated in the air: "All of you. Are you ready for the expedition?"

A beautiful woman slowly descends the Inner Court. Her hair was long white, and her face was like that of snow. Her curvaceous body that can entice any men and her long slender legs.

All of them suddenly came to a halt when they all heard this woman's voice.

Their eyes are shining brightly and excitedly greeted her: "We greet the Sect Master."

All of them saluted her with respect and reverence.

The white hair woman only nodded her head and said calmly: "All of you should know that we need to expanse our sect. The Absolute North and is the best place for us to cultivate because of its Ice Essence and its coldness."

The white hair woman squinted her eyes and said in a cold voice: "However, we cannot move to the Absolute North because of the Ice Phoenix that is guarding that place. We will be accompanied by the other sect for the expedition so we can surely annihilate the Ice Phoenix. We will meet with the other sects at the entrance of Absolute North."

The white-haired woman lifted up her hand and a snowflake appeared in the air.

"Ice Crescent Moon Art: Snow Flake."

The white hair woman clasps her hand and the snowflake that's floating in the air was destroyed creating small snowflakes that shroud their dresses.

All of them suddenly felt a strange sensation that envelops them.

They all looked at the Sect Master and was about to ask when they heard someone shouting: "Are we late!?"

All of them looked towards their back and saw a handsome young man that was dress in blue with Diana. All of them cannot help but fell into a daze when they saw this handsome young man.

This young man was Vaun.

Vaun was nervous for a little bit because, if he was late, then he will not be able to come with them.

The Sect Master looked at Vaun with a cold glint in her eyes and spoke: "So, you are that promising young man?" She smiled resplendently and murmured: "Interesting."

She turns around, her smooth back was exposed and said: "You are not late and be assured that you will not be removed from the expedition because we need someone like you." Saying that she took off and disappear from where she was standing and snowflakes suddenly appeared.

Vaun was shocked because not from what she said. He was shocked because she suddenly disappears right in front of his eyes. He squinted his eyes and saw concept fluctuation to where she disappeared.

'Is that another technique of her Arts?' Vaun thought to himself.

Vaun heaves a sigh of relief and smile at Diana and said: "Miss Diana. I forgot to thank you for the dress so I will say it now. Thank you so much." Vaun smiled at Diana that makes her heart skip a beat.

She only turns her head around and says in a mosquito voice: "You... You're welcome."

"What did you say?" Vaun didn't hear her words properly so he asked.

Diana didn't respond and only sway her butt and said stuttering: "No... Nothing."

"Oh. Okay." Vaun nodded his head and felt something was wrong with her. He looked around to see where he can sit on and saw a wooden chair. He was about to walk towards it when he suddenly heard someone saying his name with excitement: "Vaun! Vaun! You're here."

Looking back, he saw five familiar faces. These five are Fei Fei, Lin Chen, Valeria, Shi Mei, and Reberta.

All of them wore an excited expression as they approached Vaun.

Vaun, with a beaming smile, greeted the five of them: "Hello. Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I haven't even still thank you all so I will say it now." Vaun wore an earnest expression and slightly bowed his head: "Thanks for bringing me in here and finding me a chance to join."

The five of them hurriedly wave their hands telling Vaun to not bow his head towards them. After all, seeing in person that Vaun's prowess was so great that it's like a mountain, they cannot let a figure like him bow his head towards someone like insignificant like them.

Vaun didn't think that way about them. He was really sincere about what he just said. If not for the 5 of them, Vaun might find it hard to enter the sect because it was, after all, an only woman sect.

Vaun only nodded and talk with them for a moment to pass time until the expedition starts.

The Sect Master came back telling them that the expedition will start right now.

They all start going to the Absolute North. Vaun was still talking with Fei Fei, Lin Chen, Valeria, Shi Mei, and Reberta about many things. An example is about alchemy, arrays, cooking, and all kinds of side jobs. Vaun now had an understanding of alchemy. Alchemy is divided into 10 grades. Each grade signifies the pill that they can concoct. Vaun suddenly remembered the Qi Recovering Pill that made Yan Ling, a half-dead man turn into a lively one after eating it. Even though it only needs 10 violet spirit grass, it was still hard to concoct. The violet spirit grass is commonly found in villages that have farms and grade 1 alchemist can concoct this pill.

Vaun etched in his mind about alchemy because he now had a side job like this. It might be so useful in the future so he was listening attentively.

They already reached the entrance of the Absolute North and saw many different people. Vaun cannot help because he just saw many familiar faces.

He looked towards a beautiful woman whose hair was crimson red and wears a sexy tight dress that makes men drool over her. This woman was Jiang Fei. Vaun was astounded a little when he felt her aura has surged for a bit when he fought her last time.

'Hmm… Did she just increase in levels? As expected of the dense yin qi of this world.' Vaun nodded in satisfaction and look towards the crowd. He saw that there is a significant male here that even wore extravagant clothes.

He looked at his blue normal dress as he cannot help but smile wryly. As they were about to approach, Vaun thought that he should hide his aura.

"Limit On."

Vaun said in his mind and his aura at the Martial Emperor stage disappeared not leaving a trace behind. This was one of the few updates of his system has given to him.

When Vaun active the limit on, he will look just like a normal human who had not set a path in cultivation. Even animals will act superior in front of him because of his frail body that didn't have any ounce of qi. He may look frail on the outside because of his dress blocking his most assets.

Fei Fei looked towards and saw a female who is wearing a blue dress the same as them. Her face brightened up as she cannot help but shout: "Senior Sis Mei!"

The woman Fei Fei called was Mei Suyao.

Mei Suyao turned around as her buttocks and graceful body waves, attracting the eyes of men as they all cannot help but salivate: "Junior Fei? All of you are here!" She also waves her snow-white hands as she was excited to see them.

When Vaun saw this person, he cannot help but stop in his tracks because she looks different than before. Her silky blue hair was not tied and her huge breasts seem to have increased in size too. Her blue dress was still the same. It still has the mark of the crescent moon.

Vaun started to sweat profusely because this person was too hostile towards him.

'Shit. I can't let her find out it's me. I might be removed from the expedition because of her antagonistic personality towards me.' Vaun thought to himself. He uses the hood of his blue dress so he can hide his face as they approach them. Vaun stops walking to wait for the other members as he wants to walk in the back so Mei Suyao will have a low chance of meeting him.

Fei Fei turn around to only see Vaun was already behind them. She was puzzled and was about to call Vaun but suddenly heard someone said: "Hey Hey! All of you are the ones that tell us to meet here early. Why you, Ice Crescent Moon Sect are late?"

They all look towards the source of the voice and saw a man wearing a white robe and a medallion of twin swords was hanging in his neck. This man was looking at them with a perverted gaze. Some of his male peers are the same.

All of them cannot help but wore a disgust expression when all of the females of the Ice Crescent Moon Sect saw this person.

The white-robed man didn't remove his perverted gaze as he looks at the ups and downs body of the female disciples of the Ice Crescent Moon Sect.

The white robe man still didn't remove his perverted gaze as he said: "Why are you late? This noble son here waited for so long~" As he said those words, some of the male disciples cannot help but chuckle. While some of the female laughs.

Mei Suyao frowned and said coldly: "Yan Xu, Don't you dare flaunt your authority here just because your mother is the master of the sword pavilion." She looked at him deep in the eyes that will send the chills to the bones: "You're saying my Ice Crescent Moon Sect is late? Aren't they arrived just in time?"

The white robe man named Yan Xu, only shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "So what? If I say they are late, they are late. If they are not, then they are not." He looked at Mei Suyao in the eyes and said mockingly: "You, a princess from a subsidiary force of the Unity Empire, dare to want to say something to this noble son of the sword pavilion? Do you want me to kill you on the spot?" As he said those words, he releases his cultivation base of 2nd Level Martial Saint as he pressures Mei Suyao.

Vaun cannot help but be surprised when he saw his cultivation base.

'This person… Is he not affected by the problem of this world?" Thought Vaun. This was the first time that Vaun encounters a human male that has reached a certain level of cultivation.

When Vaun was pondering to himself, he suddenly heard someone saying in awe: "Aye. As expected of the son of the sword pavilion's soft sword Yan Xianyin, he really has the ability to boast when his backing is so big."

"He has the right to boast. After all, he was only 45 yrs old and already reach 2nd Level Martial Saint stage and the Sword Pavilion is after all one of the major forces in the Unity Empire." Someone added with a solemn voice.

Vaun nodded as he was satisfied with what they are talking about. It seems that the background of this Yan Xu's is very strong and seems to be well known and is one of the major forces of the Unity Empire.

When Vaun looked towards Yan Xu and saw his sinister expression as he looked at Mei Suyao. This made Vaun irritated for a bit and wants to teach this guy an example but he didn't want to take action as he wants to watch first before making a move.

Yan Xu looked at Mei Suyao sinisterly and said coldly: "You should know why I'm acting like this against you." He breathed deeply and said in a cold piercing tone: "Why didn't you accept my feelings for you?" He didn't look at Mei Suyao and looked at the surrounding male disciples of different origins with a cold expression.

When they saw Yan Xu was looking at them with a cold piercing gaze full of killing intent, their backs started to sweat as they felt their legs going weak because they were scared.

Mei Suyao only snorted at him and said coldly while a little annoyed: "Didn't I tell you before that I don't like you? Why are you so persistent?" Mei Suyao then didn't talk to him anymore and show a kind smile towards the Ice Crescent Moon Sect: "Junior Sisters, ignore this madman."

"Come and follow me to meet my senior sisters."

Mei Suyao was gesturing them to follow her and ignore Yan Xu.

This made Yan Xu infuriated even more. His killing intent rose to a certain degree that he wants to kill them all.

Yan Xu started to walk towards the Ice Crescent Moon Sect female disciples and said in a threatening voice: "It's because of you all!" He looked towards Mei Suyao and saw her icy cold expression looking at him with disgust. He only snickered at her and said to her coldly: "If I can't get you, then I shall not let anyone have you."

When he was about to walk towards Mei Suyao, his back suddenly felt cold. He looked back and saw a hooded person whose face cannot be seen only standing not doing anything.

He felt that this hooded person in a blue dress was not simple but using his aura to feel the cultivation stage of this hooded person, he doesn't feel a thing from him. Not even a small peck of the dust of qi can be even felt on him.

This made Yan Xu look down on this hooded person.

His lips arched upwards as he let out a cold smile: "Scaring this daddy here, I shall give you a lesson worth remembering." Yan Xu lift points a finger as it started to emit white light. The white light shot in the air started to distort as it breaks apart suddenly.

Seeing this move, Mei Suyao cannot help but shock at this scene. She hurriedly looked towards the hooded person whose qi have none and shout with worried voice: "Get out of there right now before its too late!" She looked at the hooded person with a grief expression. If this person was killed, it will be her fault.

The hooded person did not respond as he only stands there not moving an inch.

All of the onlookers thought that this person must be scared shitless that he cannot move from his position.

Amidst to Mei Suyao's worry about the hooded, Yan Xu felt more anger. Why did she worried about this insignificant being more than him?

Cannot control himself anymore, he let out a low shout as a small ball of qi are starting to fuse creating a huge long thick sharp sword.

"Sword manifest, Sword of Judgement!"

Waving his hand down, the large sword was going towards Vaun at incredibly fast speed. This attack can heavily injure a 5th stage Martial Saint if they caught this attack.

Mei Suyao and the other onlookers only closed their eyes not wanting to see about this hooded person's death. While others are looking with anticipation if a miracle is going to happen.

Yan Xu snickered and also let out a mad laugh: "Hahaha! This is what's going to happen that person who dares to offend me in any way." He looked towards Mei Suyao releasing a cold glint in his eyes: "You're next." He was about to walk towards Mei Suyao when a calm cool voice permeated in the air: "Limit off."

A surge of powerful aura was suddenly released by the hooded person. As his hands in his pockets, his blue dress was waving until the hood is removed because of the sudden surge of aura. When they felt the sudden surge of aura, they finally saw the face of the hooded figure that unleashes his cultivation realm.

They sucked in a cold breath after seeing the face of the hooded figure.

They were shocked beyond words. Why? Because the person in front of them right now is a f*cking young man with a f*cking delicate handsome face.

Who is he? This thought came to their most minds when they saw his face.

"Sword Manifest? Just forming a sword by your qi, you think you can be so overbearing?" When Vaun said these words, he let a low cry releasing his cultivation base.

All of the onlookers cannot help but take a step back as they felt another wave of huge aura.

Yan Xu had his eyes wide open as he points his trembling finger at Vaun as if a monster had suddenly appeared right in front of him: "You... You're a half-step martial emperor powerhouse?" When his words left his mouth, all of those who heard him cannot help but suck in a cold breath and many people are starting to look at Vaun with deep reverence. This type of feat is only a legend in legends. Having achieved this level even he has a powerful background is impossible but if this young man in front of them can achieve this level even though he is a yang cultivator, it means that he has deep talent when it comes to cultivation. This made them respect Vaun.

Vaun, on the other hand, points his index finger touching the tip of a huge sword stopping it from moving.

Yan Xu almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw Vaun stopping his sword manifest with one finger so casually.

All of them cannot believe what they are seeing right now as they felt that Vaun was not human anymore. Stopping an attack of a Martial Saint is indeed possible if you are a half-step martial saint. However, stopping an attack with only a finger is impossible. Many people will not believe in this kind of nonsense, but after seeing Vaun casually stopping a sword with a finger in front of their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it right now.

Vaun smile at Yan Xu but Yan Xu felt that this smile of Vaun is not really a smile. He shivered when he saw Vaun's smile.

Vaun looks at Yan Xu in the eye and the huge sword that Vaun was stopping with his finger slowly withered. Seeing the sword slowly withering, Yan Xu felt like that this was going to happen to him when he offends Vaun.
