For the past few days, Master Baiyun had been cultivating with the large amount of resources that Ling Xiao had plundered. In addition to the spiritual pills and elixirs that Ling Xiao had obtained from the dead Sword King Sect disciples, as well as the gold grade entry-level martial arts.
His cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, had finally broken through!
Perhaps it was because of his many years of accumulation, but after he broke through, he was unable to stop himself. He directly went from Peak Transcendent Realm First Layer to Early Transcendent Realm Third Layer before finally stopping.
Originally, he could have returned to Yuehua School at this time.
But he didn't.
Because he knew that everything he had was given to him by Ling Xiao. He wanted to protect the Divine Sword Sect for Ling Xiao.
Of course, there was another reason.
Ling Xiao, this fellow, was too mysterious. Gold Grade Entry Level Martial Arts and Rare Grade Martial Arts were actually given to the Divine Sword Sect as if they were free.
In addition, there was also a large amount of gold and silver that could be used to buy cultivation materials.
Whether he returned to Yuehua School or not, it really didn't make a difference. As long as he had that status, he was satisfied.
The other disciples of the Divine Sword Sect also obtained a lot of benefits during this time.
Ling Xiaotian, Ling Wuheng, and Ling Yihang broke through to Transcendent Realm First Layer one after another and became Transcendent Realm cultivators admired by the world.
Ling Shuang, Ling Zhan, Ling Chen, Ling Yin, and the others also cultivated to the peak of Martial Vein Realm Ninth Layer one after another.
Ling Xiao's younger brother Ling Luo was now a Martial Vein Realm Eighth Layer cultivator. He was no longer the little radish head that could be bullied by others.
Inside the Divine Sword Sect, the strength of the disciples had increased to different degrees.
At this moment, besides the Twelve Sects, the Divine Sword Sect already had the feeling of being the number one sect in the world.
All of this was thanks to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's golden statue was placed in the sect's square. It was more than ten meters tall and looked very spectacular.
All the disciples who joined the Divine Sword Sect would be taught about Ling Xiao's legend.
Of course, these things were taken care of by Master Bai Yun and the others. Ling Xiao didn't have to worry too much about it. The key for him now was to constantly improve his cultivation and status.
That way, the Divine Sword Sect would continue to grow stronger.
Master Baiyun was granted the status of an inner disciple of Yuehua School.
Yuan Venerates were also successfully released from the Moonlight Pagoda.
When the master and disciple met, they naturally sighed again.
The Yuan Venerate had never imagined that his disciple would actually be able to rescue him using such a method. He immediately felt emotional.
Not only did he not blame Ling Xiao for taking the Moon Maiden as his master, but he was also very supportive.
After all, he wasn't a member of the Yuehua School, nor was he an enemy of the Yuehua School. Therefore, there was no conflict of interest between him and the Moon Lady.
Of course, more importantly, he only hoped that his disciples could become stronger and more promising. The more things they could learn, the better. He didn't have that much prejudice.
After meeting the Yuan Venerate, Ling Xiao planned to use the rewards he had received this time to concentrate on his cultivation. After all, his current cultivation was only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Level. If he relied on his current cultivation to participate in the Moon Arrival Day Tower Ascension Ceremony, he was afraid that the outcome would not be good.
Strength was always the most important thing.
Whether it was completing sect missions or participating in trials, it was all the same.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the Yuan Venerate.
"Wait a moment, Master has something to say to you!"
…
While Ling Xiao and the Yuan Venerate were talking, something extremely strange happened in Green Valley.
During the few days he had been back at the sect, Green Valley had practically become a gathering place for the disciples of the Twelve Sects. These people had all arrived there to search for the treasures left behind by the Plague Demon King.
However, after a few days, nothing was found.
Then, something terrible happened today.
Over 100 disciples of the Twelve Sects and other small sects had mysteriously disappeared into a forest deep in Green Valley.
This forest had been called the Thousand Ghost Forest by the people of Green Valley.
It was connected to the Dragon Submission Mountain Range. To be precise, it was a part of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range.
The reason for this name was that there had once been people from Green Valley who had mistakenly entered this place. In the end, over 100 people had entered, but only one person had returned alive. It was said that he had seen countless ghosts and monsters.
Hence, this name had come about. Furthermore, this place had been designated as a forbidden area by Green Valley and martialists and hunters were not allowed to enter.
However, why would the disciples of the Twelve Sects listen to them?
In the end, something like this had happened.
After this incident, the various large sects had announced that their disciples were forbidden from entering the Thousand Ghost Forest. Unfortunately, it was already a little too late.
In the depths of the Thousand Ghost Forest, strange cries were constantly heard, as if evil spirits were demanding lives.
If someone entered this place, they would definitely discover that the corpses of the disciples had been placed in a steeple. On the ground, there was a faint, strange pattern that was faintly discernible.
When this pattern lit up, the True Yuan and blood of these disciples would flow in the same direction.
What was lying there was actually a huge, jet-black tiger with three heads.
It was five to six meters tall and seven to eight meters long. It constantly emitted an extremely dangerous aura.
This aura was even more terrifying than that of the Yuehua School's Head Teacher.
One had to know that among the hundreds of disciples, the weakest one was at least at the Transcendent Realm First Layer. At this moment, they had all become nourishment for this three-headed tiger monster.
"Hehe, that idiot Pestilence, his cultivation has only recovered a little, yet he still dares to cause such a big commotion. This King has really benefited."
This three-headed tiger monster actually spoke in a voice that only humans could have.
If the Pestilence Demon King hadn't died, he would have discovered that although this guy's appearance had changed, his aura was definitely that of one of the Nine Great Demon Kings, the Evil Beast Demon King.
"But don't worry, when this King's strength recovers, this King will definitely kill that Ling Xiao and avenge you."
The Evil Beast Demon King licked his lips, and a sinister smile appeared on his three tiger heads.
Although he didn't care that the Pestilence Demon King had been killed, he was still his former companion. Now that he had been killed by an outer disciple of the Yuehua School, even if it was purely for the sake of face, he wouldn't spare Ling Xiao.
According to the legends of Green Valley, the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts should have been haunted 1,000 years ago.
If this legend was true, then the Evil Beast Demon King had probably stayed in the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts for over 1,000 years.
These demons, who came from an unknown place, had a much longer lifespan than humans. It wouldn't be strange if they didn't die in 10,000 or even 10,000 years, let alone 1,000 years.
…
Of course, Ling Xiao, who was in the Yuehua School, didn't know about the Evil Beast Demon King. He was currently considering the suggestion of his master, Yuan Venerate Yuan Venerate.
"Go to the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts. The Moon Arrival Festival isn't far away. If you stay in the sect and cultivate, your improvement will be limited. Therefore, I suggest that you leave the Yuehua School and head to the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts to seek greater opportunities."
