After a month's journey, Xing Jue finally returned to the Oshikaze Empire. Standing at the foot of the Floating Clouds Mountain, Xing Jue looked at the fairyland-like mountain range in front of him. His heart was filled with many emotions.
In a year's time, Xing Jue had grown a lot. Whether it was in terms of wisdom or strength, he was no longer the little brat he had been before.
"Little Han, Four Eyes, brothers, I'm back." Xing Jue looked at the wide road in front of him and saw the disciples of Yufeng Pavilion walking back and forth in blue robes. Then he strode towards the Yufeng Pavilion that he hadn't seen for a long time.
After Xing Jue returned to the Punishment House of the Inner Cabinet, he first changed into the purple robes of the Inner Cabinet. After all, there was a rule in Yufeng Pavilion that disciples had to wear robes that corresponded to their status.
After changing into the robes, Xing Jue went to the residence of Four Eyes. After not seeing him for a year, Xing Jue missed this brother of his. Thinking about how excited Four Eyes and the others were when they saw him, Xing Jue also felt very excited.
"What? Four Eyes went to the Outer Pavilion? "Xing Jue sat in the living room of Four Eyes' residence and asked in confusion.
"Yes, young master Xing Jue. Our young master went to the Outer Pavilion's Cultivation Pavilion to cultivate," said the servant girl of Four Eyes' residence respectfully.
"Why didn't he cultivate in the Inner Pavilion? Why did he go to the Outer Pavilion?" Xing Jue asked again in confusion.
"Young master Xing Jue, this servant doesn't know." The servant girl shook her head.
At this moment, Xing Jue was full of questions. Logically speaking, once one entered the Inner Pavilion, the disciples of the Inner Pavilion would almost never return to the Outer Pavilion. In terms of the cultivation environment, the Inner Pavilion was slightly better than the Outer Pavilion. What Xing Jue did not understand was why the four-eyed disciple wanted to cultivate in the Outer Pavilion.
With these questions in mind, Xing Jue went to the Outer Pavilion's Cultivation Pavilion. When Xing Jue arrived, it caused quite a stir among the Outer Pavilion disciples.
This was naturally because Xing Jue was wearing a purple robe. That was the symbol of a Inner Pavilion disciple. In the eyes of the Outer Pavilion disciples, Inner Pavilion disciples were very amazing.
And among those Outer Pavilion disciples, there were actually many who recognized Xing Jue. Hearing them talk to some new disciples, Xing Jue also felt a bit nostalgic.
Because Xing Jue didn't know which floor Four Eyes was cultivating on, he could only stand in the main hall and wait. This wait wasn't important.
Some bold female disciples actually ran over to strike up a conversation with Xing Jue. What vexed Xing Jue the most was that among these female disciples, there wasn't a single one who could be considered a beauty. This caused Xing Jue to have a headache.
"Oh, if it isn't Xing Jue. Why have you come to my Outer Pavilion today?" Just at this moment, an elder's voice rang out. Xing Jue looked over and saw that it was the elder in charge of the Cultivation Pavilion. He had met Xing Jue a few times before.
"Haha, Elder, I'm here to find Four Eyes. I wonder if Elder has seen him?" Xing Jue was having a headache from being pestered by those female disciples. After this elder appeared, it could be said that he had saved Xing Jue's life. Xing Jue took two quick steps and arrived beside the elder.
"So that's how it is. He's cultivating on the third floor. Since you're looking for him, I'll help you call him." As he spoke, the elder led Xing Jue towards the third floor.
Leaving behind a group of female disciples staring at each other …
"Elder, can the Black Iron Door be opened while cultivating?" Xing Jue followed behind the elder and asked in confusion. According to what he knew, when a disciple was cultivating, others couldn't open the Black Iron Door unless they forcefully broke it.
"Hehe, this is because you mistakenly entered the Cultivation Space last time. Afterwards, the Great Elder felt that the Cultivation Pavilion wasn't perfect and wanted to modify it."
"And after half a year of modification, this plan was finally realized. As long as the Elder has a specific key, he can forcefully stop the disciple's cultivation." The elder explained to Xing Jue with a smile.
After hearing the elder's words, Xing Jue also laughed. At that time, because he had entered the wrong Cultivation Space, he had almost lost his life.
"Oh, that's right. Little Three is also in the Outer Pavilion's Cultivation Pavilion. Do you want to call him out as well?" After reaching the third floor of the Cultivation Pavilion, the elder asked with a smile.
"Oh? Little Three is also here. Hmm, call him out as well. "After hearing the elder's words, Xing Jue felt even more puzzled. These two fellows could be said to be the closest to him among all the brothers. Why did they run to the Outer Pavilion to cultivate? It seemed like there must be a special reason.
Thinking of this, Xing Jue was even more impatient to ask about it.
After which, the elder took the talisman key and walked to the doors of the two rooms and swiped them. Not long after, the two training spaces' mysterious metal doors slowly rose.
"Damn, what's going on? Who interrupted my Cultivation Space? "
"Elder, why did you interrupt my Cultivation Space?"
After the two Black Iron Doors were opened, two cursing voices were first heard. Then, two familiar figures walked out. They were Four Eyes and Little Three.
After seeing the two brats, Xing Jue smiled and said loudly, "You two brats have quite a temper."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the two of them were even more shocked. Then, they hurriedly looked at Xing Jue. When the two of them saw Xing Jue, they were even more overjoyed. Then, the two of them rushed toward Xing Jue with snot and tears.
"Big brother Xing Jue, you're finally back." The two of them came to Xing Jue and said while crying.
"Hehe, the two of you, tell me first. You two are disciples from the Inner Pavilion. Why did you come to the Outer Pavilion to train?" Xing Jue asked with a smile.
"Eh …" After hearing Xing Jue's words, the two of them became silent.
"Speak quickly." Xing Jue looked at the two of them and knew that something must have happened. Then, he asked sternly.
"Big brother Xing Jue, it's like this. Not long after you left, there were people in the Inner Pavilion who kept causing trouble for us. They even announced that those who were related to you were not allowed to live in the Inner Pavilion."
"From then on, we were not allowed to enter the Inner Pavilion to cultivate. Many of our brothers, because they could not stand their harassment, began to become dispirited. At that time, Gao Le, who was ranked sixth on the Elite List, said that as long as we cut off our relationship with you and pledged our allegiance to him, he would not make things difficult for us."
"After that, everyone announced that they had cut off their relationship with you and pledged their allegiance to Gao Le. In the end, only me and Four-eyed were left. In desperation, the two of us could only cultivate in the Outer Pavilion."
"In this one year, the two of us trained day and night and finally broke through to the level of Martial Master. A few days ago, we even reached the level of Intermediate Martial Master. However, compared to Gao Le, there is still a huge gap. After all, he is Wu Zun. An expert of that level is really too strong." Little Three said slowly. The grievance in his heart was self-evident.
"Good, good, good. Gao Le, right?" After hearing Little Three's words, Xing Jue said "good" three times in a row. Immediately after that, his smiling face instantly became cold.
"Yes, as far as I know, Gao Le is also a disciple of the Second Elder of the Inner Pavilion. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Pavilion does not dare to interfere with his actions," Little Three said again.
"Second Elder again. By the way, hasn't Xiao Han heard about what happened to you?" After hearing that it was Second Elder who caused trouble, Xing Jue asked in confusion.
At that time, Xiao Han had let go of the Second Elder. It was because of Xiao Han's existence that the Second Elder did not cause trouble for Xing Jue. But now, why did it happen again?
"We are not clear about this. We only heard that it seems that not long after you left, sister-in-law started to cultivate in seclusion. Moreover, sister-in-law does not even know us. How could she care about us? "Little Three said somewhat gloomily.
As for Xing Jue's powerful girlfriend, they had only heard of her. They had never seen her.
When Xing Jue thought about it, he felt that this was indeed the case. When Li Xiaohan announced their relationship, she was only trying to protect him. As for Four-Eyes and Little Three, it was only because of his connection that no one dared to provoke them.
And after he had left Yufeng Pavilion, Four-eyed and the others had been weak, so no one had cared about anything. That was why they had attacked Four-eyed and the others. Thinking of this, Xing Jue could not help but feel worried about Second Elder's character. This kind of person was really too sinister.
At that time, Xing Jue had only refused to become his disciple. Such a small matter, but Second Elder had actually kept it in his heart.
"Four-eyed, Little Three, these days have been hard on you. From today onwards, no one in the Cabinet will dare to bully you." Xing Jue gently patted Four-eyed and Little Three's shoulders and said with a smile. They were weak because he had offended the Second Elder of the Cabinet. Otherwise, they would not have suffered so much.
After saying that, Xing Jue walked toward Gao Le's mansion. At first, Little Three and Four-eyed had tried their best to stop Xing Jue. After all, Gao Le's strength was at the early stage of Wu Zun's, and he was an expert ranked sixth in the Cabinet Elite List.
But after knowing Xing Jue's current strength, the two suddenly became full of vigor. They followed behind Xing Jue and killed their way to Gao Le's mansion.
The Gao House of the Cabinet was somewhat similar to the Xing House of the Outer Pavilion. In his mansion, there were dozens of Cabinet disciples. Some were chatting, some were sparring, and some were talking nonsense. Their lives could be considered leisurely. Among these dozens of disciples, there were former brothers of Xing Jue.
Moreover, in the Gao Residence, even the gatekeepers were Cabinet Disciples. Coincidentally, the gatekeepers today were the two brothers who had been in charge of the Gao Residence before the execution.
"Look, it's Xing Jue. Xing Jue is back!" One of the disciples saw Xing Jue and said in a panic.
After hearing this disciple's words, the other disciple also saw Xing Jue and his group. Then, his mood began to become complicated.
When they had just entered the Outer Pavilion, they were often bullied by others. That was why they had sought refuge under Xing Jue, and Xing Jue had nothing to say about them.
After entering the Cabinet, in order to improve their strength, Xing Jue specially used his own points to buy martial arts techniques for them. Now that they had betrayed Xing Jue, they naturally felt ashamed.
But at this moment, Xing Jue and his group arrived at the entrance of the Gao House. Seeing the two familiar-looking brothers in front of him, Xing Jue smiled and said, "Call Gao Le out for me."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the two disciples also understood why Xing Jue had come. After all, they had followed Xing Jue before, so they had some understanding of Xing Jue. Xing Jue never suffered losses when doing things.
Now that his brothers were bullied so badly, Xing Jue naturally wouldn't let them go. Immediately, a disciple rushed into the Gao House, while the other disciple lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xing Jue.
Not long after that disciple entered the Gao House, dozens of Cabinet disciples rushed out of the Gao House. Almost all of them had the strength of a Martial Master, and a few had even reached the level of a High Martial Master.
