Shangguan Lin's face darkened slightly as she asked with a forced bravery, "Elder Mei Li! How... how have you returned!"
Hadn't she left with Xu Sheng? Why had only the former returned alone?
And judging by the look of it, she was probably here specifically to seek her out!
With this thought, a renewed sense of caution rose within her...
Mei Li's Beautiful Eyes seemed to see through Shangguan Lin's thoughts as she revealed a charming smile, "What's the matter? Are you worried about my disciple?"
Shangguan Lin's pupils tightened, and she swallowed nervously, "Elder Mei Li, what do you mean by your disciple?"
Mei Li feigned surprise as she exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, that Xu Sheng, right? He has already agreed to become my disciple."
As she had suspected, that Xu Sheng had an unusual relationship with this woman. If she could just control her...
No matter what tricks Xu Sheng had up his sleeve, he wouldn't be able to escape from the palm of her hand. After all, she never liked to do anything uncertain!
Shangguan Lin pursed her lips and stammered, "Is... that so? Well... congratulations, Elder Mei Li. But, what brings you to me?"
Mei Li's cheeks gradually took on a tender expression, "Besides telling you about this, I'm also quite interested in you. Perhaps it's because the Martial Techniques we cultivate are compatible."
With those words, she stepped forward to Shangguan Lin, extending a finger to gently touch the corner of her lips...
Then, she moved it to her own mouth and licked it...
Faced with such a bold gesture, Shangguan Lin subconsciously stepped back and softly declined, "Elder Mei Li, I'm not looking to take a master at the moment."
This Mei Li was much more terrifying than Niu Ben and the others!
Mei Li spoke indifferently, "This isn't about taking in a disciple. I simply want to invite you to stay in my room for a while, to give some guidance on your cultivation issues. Surely you don't want to be harassed by the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect, do you?"
If her previous words were polite, then what she said now was a clear threat!
Shangguan Lin trembled, and chose to remain silent...
...
In another place, inside the Martial Skill Pavilion...
Xu Sheng, sensing that there were no other spiritual power fluctuations around, stepped forward and walked ahead...
Gazing at the overwhelming collection of Martial Techniques in front of him, he randomly picked up one, dusted it off, glanced over it, and tossed it aside...
"Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Bone Kill!"
Such low-tier Martial Techniques were of no use to him; he needed at least
So, he began his search anew...
"Profound Grade Superior, Crippling Strike!"
"Useless"
"Earth-Grade Mid-Level, Devil Flame Devouring!"
"Learned it!"
"Earth Grade Low Level, Berserk!"
"Don't need this thing for now; the kind that harms oneself while killing a thousand enemies."
After a careful search for some time, Xu Sheng finally stopped, the Martial Techniques he selected were mostly Earth-tier!
But he had not seen a single Heavenly Skill!
Reluctant to give up, he swiftly scanned the surroundings once more and his attention was suddenly captivated by a Spiritual Ripple emanating from the front...
He frowned, "What's this?"
Placing the Earth-tier Martial Techniques down, he slowly walked towards the deepest part of the space, feeling the spiritual power fluctuation grow stronger as he moved forward...
Before long, Xu Sheng halted his steps, his gaze fixed on the scene before him...
Xu Sheng didn't voluntarily come to a halt; instead, there lay ahead a massive barrier constructed of substantial spiritual power, which enveloped the interior entirely, severing any contact with the outside world…
Peering through the cracks in the barrier, he could barely make out that what was stored inside was also martial techniques!
The corners of Xu Sheng's lips curled upwards, and he said faintly, "So the most treasured martial techniques are stored here."
The strength of this barrier was enough to resist attacks from someone in the Body Integration Realm, yet the entire Evil Spirit Sect didn't have any disciples at that level!
It went without saying that its purpose was clearly to prevent other Xieling Sect disciples from cultivating Heavenly-tier martial techniques, which would affect the Elder's complete control over the sect!
Unfortunately for them, they weren't dealing with an ordinary disciple of the Xieling Sect!
Xu Sheng inwardly exclaimed, "Fourth layer seal, release!"
As his words fell, the spiritual power within his body started to converge, followed by a terrifying spatial tremor that erupted, filling the Martial Skill Pavilion with an intimidating presence!!
And his cultivation level began to soar at a visible speed…
First Layer of the Void Refinement Stage!
Third Layer of the Void Refinement Stage!
Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Stage!
...
Sixth Layer of the Body Integration Realm!
Eighth Layer of the Body Integration Realm!
Ninth Layer of the Body Integration Realm!
Finally, another horrifying shock wave burst forth, breaking through the Body Integration Realm and reaching the Mahayana Realm, where turning over one's hand could bring about world destruction!!
However, Xu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, "First Layer of the Mahayana Realm? I'm probably far weaker than the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect!"
His original plan was to cultivate these Heavenly-tier martial techniques and then destroy the entire Evil Spirit Sect, but it now seemed this goal was not achievable in the short term!
After all, he didn't know the extent of the Sect Master's power, and the fifth seal within him had yet to be unsealed; acting rashly would be suicidal!
Shaking his head to cast aside these thoughts, his dark eyes refocused on the barrier that was radiating with immense spiritual force fluctuations…
Then, he gently extended a hand and concentrated ample spiritual power into it, fiercely flicking his middle finger toward the barrier…
Upon contact, a loud "Bang!" resonated as the barrier cracked at a visible speed from the impact, spreading rapidly in all directions…
In just a few seconds, it completely vanished, and Xu Sheng walked in without changing his expression…
Crossing the threshold, everything felt utterly rejuvenated!
He quickly picked up the closest martial technique book and swept a glance over the words…
It was a…
Heavenly Grade Low-Quality Martial Technique! Shadow Concealment!
...
Outside the Martial Skill Pavilion!
Two Xieling Sect disciples, hearing the loud noise, exchanged glances, and one of them whispered, "What's that guy up to, making such a racket? He couldn't have gone into demonic deviation, could he?"
It wasn't uncommon for disciples who practiced demon cultivator techniques to fall into demonic deviation!
Upon hearing this, the other disciple nodded in agreement, "Possible! Perhaps he was greedy and tried to cultivate too many martial techniques at once!"
"Should we go in and check? If this guy ends up killing himself while practicing, could Elder Meili hold us responsible?"
"What's it to us? We just need to stand guard! Besides, didn't Elder Meili order us not to disturb him?"
"Right, that's true, let him fend for himself then!"
