Outside the Lingyun Sect, a group of people were gathered here.
They were all wearing long robes embroidered with red flowing clouds.
Two big words were also embroidered on the chest area of the long robes: Huo Yun.
The people who came were disciples of the Huoyun Sect!
The leader of the group was a handsome young man who was standing at the front.
He raised his head and looked at the Lingyun Sect with a faint smile on his face.
"So this is the Lingyun Sect?"
"That's right, this is the Lingyun Sect," A disciple beside him quickly answered respectfully.
The young man nodded and continued to ask, "I heard that the Lingyun Sect is a fifth rank force under the jurisdiction of the Huoyun Sect?"
"Yes, actually, they can't even be considered a fifth rank force," The disciple laughed disdainfully as he said, "Their sect leader is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, not worth mentioning at all. A lowly force like the Lingyun Sect is not worthy of senior brother Yan's to come all the way."
The senior brother Yan that he mentioned was Yan Minghui, the young man.
Yan Minghui said disapprovingly, "I am not interested in the Lingyun Sect. But are you sure that the person who took the inheritance of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is a disciple of the Lingyun Sect?"
"I dare not deceive senior brother. That person is indeed a disciple of the Lingyun Sect. I will not be mistaken about the clothes on him," The disciple hurriedly cupped his hands and answered respectfully.
Yan Minghui looked at the Lingyun Sect's mountain gates indifferently, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Since that's the case, then there's no need to say anything else. I'm determined to get the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's inheritance," His tone was casual and filled with disdain. A mere fifth rank force was nothing to him.
This was because he was one of the three great prodigies of the Huoyun Sect, and his father was one of the few Nascent Soul Realm elders in the Huoyun Sect.
He had originally only left the sect to find some beautiful women to quench his thirst.
But he had unexpectedly encountered this group of Huoyun Sect disciples, from where he learned about the inheritance of a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse.
His interest was immediately piqued, so he lead these people to the Lingyun sect, wanting to force Ye Yunfan to hand over the things he had obtained.
The group of Huoyun Sect disciples had just stepped into the mountain gates when Jiang Yiming happened to walk out.
Yan Minghui and the others stopped in their tracks and scrutinized Jiang Yiming.
"Are you the sect leader of the Lingyun Sect?" The one who asked was a disciple beside Yan Minghui named Yan Fei.
Jiang Yiming nodded and asked calmly, "Yes, I am the sect leader of the Lingyun sect, Jiang Yiming. Judging from your clothes, you should be disciples of the Huoyun Sect. Why have you come to the Lingyun Sect? The appointed time to pay the offerings hasn't arrived yet, no?"
Upon hearing his words, Yan Fei and the rest of the disciples immediately burst into laughter.
Yan Minghui also looked at Jiang Yiming with disdain.
Yan Fei said with a sneer, "I remember that the Lingyun Sect can't even afford to pay the offerings now, right? The Lingyun Sect has long dwindled, yet you still have the nerve to build such a grand hall. Are you trying to maintain your dignity?"
"What does it have to do with the Huoyun Sect the kind of grand hall the Lingyun Sect wants to build?" Jiang Yiming glanced at him and said calmly, "You didn't come here just to say such nonsense, did you?"
"You'd better be careful when you speak," Yan Fei frowned and pointed at Yan Minghui as he said, "This is one of the three prodigies of the Huoyun Sect, senior brother Yan Minghui. I advise you to be more polite. Senior brother Yan is someone you can't afford to offend. If you dare to offend senior brother Yan again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Jiang Yiming's gaze swept across these Huoyun Sect disciples and immediately understood their strength.
Yan Minghui was indeed extraordinary. His cultivation was at the early-stage of the Core Formation Realm.
As for Yan Fei, he had reached perfection in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The others' were slightly inferior. They were either at the middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm or in the Qi Meditation Realm.
To be honest, this lineup was pretty good. It could even be compared to some of the weaker fourth rank forces.
And they were only a portion of the disciples of the Huoyun Sect.
This was also why the lower ranking forces had to seek the protection of the higher ranking forces.
Because even if there was only a difference of one realm, the difference in strength could be miles apart.
If it was the Lingyun Sect from before, they would definitely not dare to offend these guys.
But now, Jiang Yiming did not take them to heart.
Jiang Yiming was silent for a moment, and Yan Minghui took this as a sign that he was afraid.
Yan Minghui chuckled and said arrogantly, "Sect leader Jiang, we didn't come to the Lingyun sect today to demand your offerings, but..."
As he said this, Ye Yunfan came with the help of Huang Chaoyu.
Yan Fei couldn't help but point at Ye Yunfan and shouted when he saw him, "Senior brother Yan, that's the person who took away our Nascent Soul inheritance!"
Yan Minghui was about to get angry when he was interrupted, but he was suddenly energized when he heard this.
He narrowed his eyes at Ye Yunfan and said coldly, "Are you sure it's this person?"
"I'm sure. All the junior brothers and sisters here can testify that this person is the one who took away the Nascent Soul inheritance!" Yan Fei said firmly, and the group of Huoyun Sect disciples behind him echoed his words.
Hearing this, Ye Yunfan, who already had an ugly expression, was even more furious.
It was this group of people who had taken his things, yet they still had the nerve to call him a thief?
Yan Minghui couldn't care less about who was the real thief, and he directly said to Jiang Yiming, "Sect leader Jiang, is this person your disciple?"
"That's right, he is my second disciple."
Jiang Yiming combined the Huoyun Sect disciple's words with Ye Yunfan's description just now and had already gained an understanding of what had happened.
Putting aside the fact that they were distorting the truth, even if Ye Yunfan had really taken their things, he would still most definitely protect his disciple!
After Yan Minghui got the confirmation from Jiang Yiming, his expression became even smugger as he said, "In that case, sect leader Jiang, please hand over your disciple."
"Hand over my disciple? Why?"
Jiang Yiming didn't wait for Yan Minghui to reply and turned his head to look at Ye Yunfan.
He asked softly, "Yunfan, were they the ones who hurt you?"
Yunfan was stunned at first, then he nodded and said, "Reporting to Master, it's them."
He glanced at Yan Minghui and pointed at him as he continued, "Except for this person. The others saw that I unintentionally obtained a Nascent Soul inheritance, so they wanted to take it for themselves. I was outnumbered, and they pursued me all the way to the Lingyun Sect."
As Ye Yunfan said this, his mood became heavier.
Jiang Yiming waved his hand, indicating that he should not blame himself too much.
To be honest, it was already very impressive that Ye Yunfan had been able to escape the pursuit of so many people with his late-stage Qi Meditation Realm cultivation.
Jiang Yiming looked at the Huoyun Sect disciples again and found that all of them had expressions that told him they didn't think much of their actions at all.
His face abruptly sank and he said coldly, "You hurt my disciple, yet you still have the nerve to come and ask for him?
