754 Chapter: Xuantian Peak (Please Subscribe)_1
After Xu Sheng finished talking with Yun Churan, the latter's ice-blue eyes glanced at Yun Cong and Mu Yun, who were eavesdropping in the corner!
She said in a cold voice, "Come out! Why hide?"
Yun Cong, with an embarrassed face, walked out with his companion, "Hehe! Master, where are you and Junior Brother Xu going?"
Yun Churan said indifferently, "Xuantian Peak! Let's go, Xu Sheng."
After these words, she turned and left the courtyard...
Xu Sheng glanced at Yun Cong and the others, and said softly, "Senior Brother Yun, Mu Senior Brother, I'll be leaving first! Please apologize to Elder Sister Mo for me!"
Then he stepped forward to follow Yun Churan's pace...
Watching Xu Sheng leave, Yun Cong turned to Mu Yun beside him, "Shall we go comfort Third Junior Sister?"
Mu Yun spread his hands and said, "Forget it, our comforting won't help with this situation, let's wait for Xu Sheng to come back and explain himself!"
...
Xuantian Peak was situated at the very center of the five main peaks, a place so quiet and deserted that hardly anyone visited!
Therefore, following behind Yun Churan, it only took Xu Sheng about fifteen minutes to arrive at the towering Xuantian Peak that loomed in midair!
Xu Sheng looked around curiously, "Master, why are there so few disciples on Xuantian Peak, and why isn't it one of the five main peaks?"
With her chest puffed out, wearing a long robe, Yun Churan, exuding an air of grace, explained in an even tone, "Xuantian Peak is the residence of the Sect Master, who prefers solitude. It's only accessible when discussing sect affairs or on certain other occasions!"
"Moreover, there are formations set up here. Without a Sect Command Token, one would be kept out..."
Xu Sheng nodded, "I see!"
In that case, those ripples hidden in the air ahead must be the so-called formations!
Reaching out to touch them, just as he was about to penetrate the barrier, the ripples suddenly solidified, repelling him...
The force of the shock made him stagger a few steps backward...
Yun Churan, seeing this, revealed a trace of surprise in her Beautiful Eyes, which quickly vanished...
Straight after, she took out a token carved with the words 'Xuantian Peak' from her Storage Cosmos Bag, and almost instantly, the ripples in front of them seemed to sense something...
They rapidly dispersed, revealing a path that allowed entry...
Only then did the two step into Xuantian Peak...
...
Inside the grand hall of Xuantian Peak...
Five impressive figures exuding astonishing fluctuations were seated, unmistakably the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect and the four Peak Masters of the main peaks!
Luo Qingyue, slowly wafting her fan, said at ease, "Why hasn't Junior Sister Yun brought that Xu Sheng here yet? Could she have forgotten again?"
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak showed a bitter smile, "It's very possible, after all, Junior Sister Yun does everything based on her mood, making us wait here would not be out of character. But I believe she wouldn't be capricious on important matters."
Already displeased, Muhuan said coldly, "Humph! That's uncertain! Who here doesn't know Junior Sister Yun's character?"
"Mu Senior Brother, how do you feel about losing your Earth-grade Weapon in a bet?"
"Junior Sister Ling!! Could you not bring up such matters! It infuriates me just thinking about it. If it weren't for Yun Cong giving that kid such a peculiar Martial Technique, how could Mo Li possibly lose!"
No sooner had his words fallen than a voice, filled with frost, rose from behind...
"Mu Senior Brother, speaking ill of others behind their back, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
The one speaking was none other than Yun Churan, who had just entered with Xu Sheng!
Muhuan's face turned a shade same to that of someone who had swallowed a fly - as if he had been caught talking behind someone's back and the person overheard; the awkwardness was indescribable!
He coughed weakly and said, "Cough cough... Junior Sister Yun, your brother was just joking!"
Yun Churan's gaze fixed on Muhuan's ice blue eyes, making the other four Peak Masters shiver involuntarily...
Xu Sheng, watching all the Peak Masters' faces, thought to himself, "Are these Peak Masters really so afraid of Yun Churan?"
Could it be that his Master had committed some heinous act that outraged both heaven and man?
After a moment, the Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak, trying to ease the tension, said with a smile, "Now that Junior Sister Yun has arrived, please take a seat!"
Ling Luoyan also pursed her lips and said wearily, "Yeah, that's right! We've been waiting here for half an hour, so glad you're finally here!"
Yun Churan, seeing this, no longer paid any attention to Muhuan, and after taking her seat, she nodded slightly toward Mu Qingge seated at the most prominent place and said, "Sect Master!"
Mu Qingge responded with a soft "Hmm!" but his eyes were fixed intently on Xu Sheng at her side.
Feeling this intense scrutiny, Xu Sheng, without a change in his expression, saluted and said, "Sect Master Mu!"
He had faced far more piercing stares than this, and they exerted no pressure on him at all!
After staring intently for over ten seconds, Mu Qingge feigned ignorance and asked, "You are the new disciple who just joined Tianlan Peak, Xu Sheng?"
Xu Sheng nodded and replied, "Yes, Sect Master!"
This Mu Qingge seemed to be a very shrewd person!
Mu Qingge's tone grew heavier and more solemn as he said, "I've seen your duel, and whether it's strength or anything else, your performance is quite accomplished!"
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly, "You flatter me, Sect Master Mu. It's nothing special!"
The other Peak Masters also tensed up, their gazes firmly fixed on Xu Sheng...
They all knew that the critical moment was approaching!
Mu Qingge narrowed his eyes and inquired, "However, apart from that, I am very curious about the martial technique that can enhance your cultivation level to the Nascent Soul Stage. Can you explain it a bit?"
Rather than an inquiry, it was more of an interrogation! This seemingly ordinary speech was laden with an authoritative tone...
Xu Sheng's lips curled into a subtle smile...
With a look of earnestness, he replied, "Sect Master Mu, to tell you the truth, I'm not very clear about that technique myself; it's just a normal Earth-grade Mid-tier Martial Technique!"
"The reason it could elevate my cultivation level to the Nascent Soul Stage is mostly because of my talent!"
Mu Qingge furrowed his brows and said with skepticism, "A talent issue?"
This answer clearly did not satisfy him!
The other Peak Masters, too, seemed to fall into contemplation, mulling over the plausibility of this explanation.
Seeing Xu Sheng's continued composure, Yun Churan also breathed a sigh of relief inside...
She was afraid that because of Mu Qingge, Xu Sheng might reveal some flaw...
And if that happened, the problems would be troublesome!
Xu Sheng chuckled and said, "That's right, it's a matter of talent. Sect Master Mu, not to boast, but it takes me only one day to master an Earth-tier Martial Technique to a high level! Thus, when I learn such a technique for enhancing cultivation, the effects are much stronger!"
Muhuan was the first to exclaim in astonishment, "One day? How is that possible!! You must be joking!"
Luo Qingyang nodded and agreed, "That's right! Mastering an Earth-tier Martial Technique in one day—it's simply unfathomable!"
Ling Luoyan's Beautiful Eyes sparkled, "Since this disciple is so confident, then perhaps..."
