Luo Yun gave him a glare and said in a cold voice, "Dismiss the disciples..."

The Elder hurriedly responded, "Yes, Sect Master!"

The next moment, his expression turned serious again as he directed his gaze towards the Tianlong Sect disciples below, announcing loudly, "The duel has ended! All disciples must disperse immediately!"

Upon hearing this, none of the Tianlong Sect disciples dared to linger, all leaving while quietly discussing amongst themselves...

At this time, Luo Yun turned his gaze to Xu Sheng and said earnestly, "Xu Sheng, I will look for you later, there are some matters I wish to discuss with you!"

His cultivation level had exceeded that of the current strongest disciple of the Tianlong Sect and had reached the terrifying Earth Immortal Realm, so perhaps he could be a great help in the upcoming grand competition between the five sects...

Xu Sheng smiled indifferently, "Then I will await Sect Master Luo's visit later!"

Luo Yun nodded slightly and, along with another Tianlong Sect Elder standing nearby, turned and left...

At that moment, with Luo Yun and the others gone, Lin Moxue and Ling Yue approached the Martial Arts Stage...

The former, with a face full of concern, fixated on Xu Sheng's chest and said, "Xu Sheng, your chest... Are you alright?"

She had seen with her own eyes Jin Chen's martial technique pierce through his chest and couldn't help but worry...

Xu Sheng glanced at the almost healed wound on his chest and shook his head, "I am fine, I'm sorry to have caused you concern..."

Ling Yue blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded, "Mm-hmm! It's good that you're okay, Xu Sheng. Mo Xue was worried about you... Wuu wuu wuu."

Before she could finish speaking, she was silenced once again by Lin Moxue's soft and boneless palm covering her lips...

One could vaguely see Lin Moxue's cheeks flushing red, especially her ear tips which were burning hot...

This fool, why does she blurt out everything!

And besides, it's not that she was worried about Xu Sheng...she just felt that Jin Chen and that previous Elder were despicable, that's all!

Right, that's it. It's definitely not because she was worried about him!

Perhaps to save some face for Lin Moxue, Xu Sheng said with a gentle smile, "Alright, now that the matter is resolved, may I trouble you to continue showing me around the Tianlong Sect?"

Seeing Xu Sheng's gentle demeanor, Lin Moxue's throat suddenly tightened...

She stammered, "Since you... you've put it that way, then... let's continue the tour, it's... it's still early, after all!"

Ling Yue pulled down Lin Moxue's palm that was covering her mouth, pouting in annoyance before staring seriously at the other and saying, "Mo Xue, how can you say it's early? Isn't it already midday?"

Lin Moxue snapped, "Shut up, shut up, Ling Yue, stop talking!"

Watching this scene, Xu Sheng not only didn't feel annoyed but actually felt a bit more pleasure...

Having been on this plane for a while, he wondered how Ren Xue and the others were faring...

...

After Lin Moxue and Ling Yue finished showing Xu Sheng around the Tianlong Sect, they returned to the room he was staying in...

While the three were in conversation, the door "crack" was opened...

Lin Moxue's beautiful eyes narrowed, ready to scold the visitor for not knocking, when she suddenly realized it was Luo Yun, and her expression turned awkward...

Immediately, she and Ling Yue stood up together, both saying in unison, "Sect Master!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng calmly said, "Sect Master Luo!"

Luo Yun glanced at Lin Moxue and Ling Yue, giving a faint "Hmm!"...

Then there was silence...

Seemingly thinking of something, Lin Moxue coughed behind her hand and said, "Since the Sect Master is here, we will take our leave now! Ling Yue, let's go!"

Ling Yue curiously asked, "Leave? Didn't the Sect Master tell me to take care of Xu Sheng? If we leave now..."

Lin Moxue gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just follow me!"

Obviously, she was very accustomed to Ling Yue's personality and reticence!

So, he took Ling Yue and left the room, conveniently taking the door with them...

Now, only Luo Yun and Xu Sheng remained within...

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Sect Master Luo, please have a seat..."

Luo Yun didn't play coy and found a spot to sit down...

With clear concern, he asked, "Xu Sheng, how are your injuries?"

Feeling the emotion in his words, Xu Sheng smiled and replied, "Including the bloody hole Jin Chen opened in my chest, I have almost fully recovered!"

Xu Sheng suspected that Luo Yun's special visit wasn't purely to inquire about his injuries!

It was highly likely there was a favor to ask!

Upon hearing this, Luo Yun began to knock on the side, saying, "That's good to hear! However, I must say, I am quite surprised by your hidden strength!"

Xu Sheng's dark eyes swept over Luo Yun as he lightly said, "Sect Master Luo, you surely didn't come here just to discuss this, did you?"

Luo Yun, his motives uncovered, remained unflustered and said, "Your observation is indeed keen. Yes, I have a matter to ask of you..."

Xu Sheng got straight to the point, "Sect Master Luo, please just speak plainly..."

He had seen these little tricks from Luo Yun countless times before!

So there was no need for such pretentious probing...

Luo Yun's expression turned grave, "Xu Sheng, since you prefer directness, I'll get to the point. In a few days, our Tianlong Sect will participate in the annual inter-sect competition..."

After a pause, he continued, "And the four disciples with the highest talent in our sect, all perished, the three men and one woman who fought against the Demon Cultivators alongside you!"

Besides being a competition for the young disciples, the outcome also determines the standing among the five sects...

And with those disciples gone, Tianlong Sect could only rank at the bottom in the competition! The ramifications of this aren't trivial!

So, upon learning that Xu Sheng was at the Earth Immortal Realm, it was inevitable that he felt a surge of excitement...

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "I see, Sect Master Luo wants me to take their place in this so-called inter-sect competition?"

Seeing Xu Sheng catch on so quickly, Luo Yun's deep eyes shone as he confirmed, "Exactly!"

However, Xu Sheng refused without hesitation, "Sect Master Luo, I must decline!"

He still had to hurry to Central State and didn't have time to linger here much longer!

Upon hearing the refusal, Luo Yun's face clouded over as he urgently inquired, "Xu Sheng, can you tell me why? If it's a matter of compensation, I can offer you Spirit Stones or Tianlong Sect's Martial Techniques as rewards!"

Xu Sheng said with a hint of helplessness, "Sect Master Luo, you misunderstand, my goal is to head to Central State, so..."

Surprisingly, when Luo Yun heard this, the displeasure on his face instantly vanished, and he eagerly said, "Xu Sheng, our destination happens to be on the way to Central State! The two places are very close!"

"Moreover, I assume you are not familiar with the road to Central State, right? You could come with us!"

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth twitched a few times, "..."

Wasn't this all a bit too coincidental??

Seeing the expressions on Xu Sheng's face, Luo Yun knew he had a chance...

He increased the pressure, "Xu Sheng, during the few days before you leave Tianlong Sect, you are allowed to practice all of Tianlong Sect's Martial Techniques, and I'll also provide you with a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. What do you say..."

He was indeed desperate to achieve a good ranking in the sect competition!

After pondering for a few minutes...

Xu Sheng eventually pursed his lips slightly and said, "Sect Master Luo, since you've put it like that, how could I possibly refuse?"

He didn't need the Spirit Stones much, but the Martial Techniques were much more important...

After all, Tianlong Sect possessed Earth-tier Martial Techniques!
