The flying artifact was extremely fast, but there was still quite a distance between Wind Sword School and Mysterious Ice Pavilion. It was not possible to reach there in a short period of time. Lu Xuan allowed Instructor Yang to control the flying artifact and continued to move forward, while Lu Xuan focused on consolidating his cultivation.
After about a day and a night of rushing, passing countless mountains and towns, the familiar Cloud Sky Mountain was finally in sight.
"Lu Xuan, we're here. We've been gone for three days, I wonder what the situation is like now." Instructor Yang woke Lu Xuan from his cultivation and said.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and saw the iconic giant stone sword in front of the Cloud Sky Mountain. The flying artifact gradually slowed down and stopped in front of the mountain gate.
"Instructor Yang is back!" The two disciples guarding the mountain gate shouted and quickly came to greet him. However, they soon saw Lu Xuan beside Instructor Yang.
"Lu Xuan! You're back too? "
"Senior Brother Lu!"
The two of them cried out in surprise. Obviously, they did not expect Lu Xuan to return with Instructor Yang. The news that Lu Xuan had become a direct disciple of Mysterious Ice Pavilion had already spread throughout Wind Sword School. This was the pride of all the disciples of Wind Sword School, so they naturally knew about it.
Lu Xuan took a look and realized that one of the disciples guarding the mountain gate was Yu Feng, and the other disciple was a core disciple of Wind Sword School that he had drunk with before.
"How have you two been?" Lu Xuan smiled and said.
"Lu Xuan, haven't you become a direct disciple of Mysterious Ice Pavilion? Why are you back this time? " Yu Feng asked in surprise and confusion. Most of them did not know that the Sect Master of Wind Sword School had asked Lu Xuan to return.
"Elder Zhao Ying has not officially accepted me as a disciple, so I am still considered a member of Wind Sword School. This time, the sect is in trouble, so I naturally came back to help. We can fight side by side again."
"That's great. With you, our chances of winning this time will definitely increase greatly. Senior Xiao and the others have already gone to the Well Cliff of the Peerless Empire. I wonder how the battle is going. This time, I'll go with you." Yu Feng said. The place where the mine was discovered was the Well Cliff of the Peerless Empire.
"Lu Xuan, let's chat later. The Sect Master is already waiting for us at the Cloud Pavilion. Follow me to see the Sect Master first." Instructor Yang interrupted them.
Lu Xuan nodded and cupped his hands at Yu Feng and Yu Feng. Then, he followed Instructor Yang to the core of Cloud Mountain, the Cloud Pavilion.
The Cloud Pavilion was the place where Wind Sword School usually discussed important matters and received envoys from other sects. Normally, it would not be opened easily. This time, the Sect Master of Wind Sword School actually received Lu Xuan at the Cloud Pavilion. It was quite grand. However, Lu Xuan's current status was no longer the same as before. As a direct disciple of Mysterious Ice Pavilion, he completely deserved this treatment. Moreover, this time, they still needed to borrow Lu Xuan's strength.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the Cloud Pavilion. Stepping into the main hall of the pavilion, a rather handsome middle-aged man sat upright. It could be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.
As Lu Xuan was secretly sizing up this person, Instructor Yang had already cupped his hands and bowed: "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Was this the Sect Master of Wind Sword School? Lu Xuan secretly shook his head. He did not expect that the Sect Master, who he had never seen before, would personally receive him at their first meeting. However, etiquette must not be ignored. Lu Xuan followed Instructor Yang and bowed.
"Haha, no need to be so polite. I believe this must be the young hero of my Wind Sword School, Lu Xuan. I am ashamed to say that I was busy with cultivation previously and did not know that my Wind Sword School had such a diamond in the rough. I only knew about it after you obtained first place in the Profound Ice Secret Realm. I was still lamenting that it would be difficult to see you in the future. I did not expect to see you so soon." The Sect Master of Wind Sword School laughed out loud and stood up from the chair. He said in a rather friendly manner: "My name is Xie Zhixiu. After all, you are the future direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion. You can just call me Sect Master Xie."
If Lu Xuan did not know about it, he might really have a good impression of him. However, since he already knew that it was the Sect Master who brought him back to Wind Sword School, he already had a good impression of him before they met.
"You flatter me, Sect Master. Lu Xuan was just lucky. Since I am a disciple of Wind Sword School, I should naturally come back to help." Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing this, Xie Zhixiu slightly frowned. He was a little unhappy that Lu Xuan did not call himself a disciple. However, his frown quickly relaxed and he still maintained his smile: "It is naturally excellent that you have this intention. I heard from Yang Yi that your strength is comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm. This time, you can be a surprise soldier of my Wind Sword School. I think the Nine Star Sword School does not know that there is a battle strength comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm in our sect."
After a pause, he said again: "Yang Yi, this matter should not be delayed. You should bring Lu Xuan to the Well Cliff. Since Lu Xuan is so powerful, you can let him follow you and the other late stage Spirit Refinement Realm instructors. When the time comes, we can catch the Nine Star Sword School unprepared."
Hearing this, Instructor Yang was slightly surprised and quickly said: "Sect Master, this must not be done. Lu Xuan's cultivation is slightly lower, and he is still young and inexperienced. If he is targeted by the enemy, it will be very dangerous. I think it is better to let Lu Xuan participate in the battle between the disciples. This way, we can also form an absolute advantage over the disciples of the Nine Star Sword School."
Seeing that Instructor Yang actually refuted his words, Xie Zhixiu's face slightly sank and said: "In the end, the battle between disciples will not affect the overall situation. Letting Lu Xuan fight with the disciples is too much of a waste. Only by killing some of their Elders can we establish an absolute advantage. Besides, the Nine Star Sword School does not know Lu Xuan's strength, so why would they target him? Just do as I say."
Instructor Yang still wanted to say something, but Xie Zhixiu lightly said: "This is an order. What? You don't even want to listen to me, the Sect Master's words?"
Seeing Xie Zhixiu use his identity as the Sect Master, Instructor Yang suddenly felt helpless and could only comply.
Immediately, Xie Zhixiu put on an amiable smile and said to Lu Xuan: "Lu Xuan, you don't have to worry too much. The Nine Star Sword School does not know your strength. They only need you to give them a fatal blow at the critical moment. This battle is also a training experience for you, and it will be very beneficial in the future."
Although Lu Xuan sneered in his heart, he still nodded. This time, he came back purely to repay the kindness of Instructor Yang and the others, and to thank the Wind Sword School for training him. It had nothing to do with Xie Zhixiu.
After that, Instructor Yang left with Lu Xuan. Looking at Lu Xuan's back as he left, Xie Zhixiu also sneered in his heart. Did he think that just because he became the direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, he could not put him, the Sect Master, in his eyes?
He had already learned from Nangong Shuo that Lu Xuan was not on good terms with them. Even if he died in this battle, the Profound Ice Pavilion would not hold him responsible. Therefore, he naturally had to make use of Lu Xuan's value to the maximum. As for the danger, what did it have to do with him?
"Lu Xuan, I also did not expect the Sect Master to ignore the danger to your life. He actually let you fight together with us. You will have to face the late stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm. For you, it is too much." Instructor Yang sighed and said. He was even more disappointed with Xie Zhixiu. Ever since Xie Zhixiu became the Sect Master, the Wind Sword School had been deteriorating. Because Xie Zhixiu did not care about the development of the Wind Sword School. Instead, he focused on improving his own strength.
In Xie Zhixiu's eyes, the entire Wind Sword School was just an aid for his cultivation. Instructor Yang also knew that Xie Zhixiu had a relationship with the Profound Ice Pavilion's Nangong Shuo. Once Xie Zhixiu broke through to the Origin Realm, he would most likely enter the Profound Ice Pavilion as an elder.
"It doesn't matter. I will try my best to protect myself. Fighting with experts is also the fastest way to improve my strength. Moreover, there is still Instructor Yang and you guys. It won't be that easy for the Nine Star Sword School to kill me." Lu Xuan was rather open-minded.
Instructor Yang shook his head, "Don't worry. I will not let you fight with us. When the time comes, you will fight with Xiao Long and the others. After all, when we are at the frontline, everything will be decided by me. I will not risk your life."
Lu Xuan felt warmth in his heart. Instructor Yang truly hoped that he could have a better future and was always thinking for him.
"Are there a lot of disciples fighting at the Well Cliff?" Lu Xuan thought for a moment and asked.
Instructor Yang nodded, "Although this battle is for the ownership of the mineral vein, it is also used by both sects to train their disciples. Only by surviving through blood and fire can they truly grow. But we also have an agreement that the elders of both sects are not allowed to intervene in the battles between disciples."
Lu Xuan nodded in realization. No wonder Instructor Yang wanted him to participate in the battles between disciples. With his own strength, no disciple from the Nine Star Sword School would be a match for him. If he could cause some damage to the disciples of the Nine Star Sword School, it would be a good thing for the Wind Sword School. After all, the Wind Sword School and the Nine Star Sword School were neighbors and often had conflicts.
But then, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Did the inner sect disciples also go to the Well Cliff?"
"You want to ask about your little lover, Lin Xinyi? Inner sect disciples also participate in the battles. Each of the nine sub-sects needs to send a certain number of disciples to train. Originally, I wanted to stop Lin Xinyi from going, but she insisted on going. She said that she wanted to train hard and catch up to your footsteps. I can't do anything about it. "
"This stupid girl! Why can't she just stay in the sect? " Lu Xuan couldn't help but curse in his heart. He couldn't help but worry, "Instructor Yang, let's not delay any longer. Let's hurry up. I can also protect them if I go."
"En, of course, but you don't have to worry too much. Lin Xinyi's training speed is extremely fast recently. In such a short time, she has already reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. In the inner sect, she can be said to be the well-deserved number one. If it wasn't for the fact that it is not the time for the core disciple recruitment, she would have already become a core disciple." Instructor Yang comforted. In his heart, he was also extremely surprised by Lin Xinyi's training speed. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so monstrous and the people around him to be so powerful.
