To avoid raising Han Xinyan's suspicions, Gu Xuan did not ask any more questions. Instead, he hunted Flame Beasts with Ying Tianzong and the other two. Mo Ran was not weak. Normally, when they encountered extremely strong Flame Beasts, they would immediately kill them. Gu Xuan did not expose too much of his strength, only occasionally killing an ordinary Rank 3 Flame Beast.
Through his intentional or unintentional understanding, Gu Xuan understood more than half of the Heavenly Sect's situation.
The Heaven's Response Sect occupied five nearby dynasties. Together with the Heaven's Sword Sect and the Divine Will Sect, they formed the Three Great Sects of the Southeast. Among them, the Heaven's Response Sect was the weakest.
In the Echo Heaven Sect, there were the Sect Master, the Sect Elders, the King Core Disciples, the Revered Inner Disciples, the Mystic Outer Disciples, and the Spirit In-Name Disciples.
The relationship between the Yingtian Academy and the Yingtian Sect was rather complicated. Although the Yingtian Academy was founded by the Yingtian Sect, it was not to nurture talents for the Yingtian Sect. It was more like a branch of the Yingtian Sect and was relatively independent.
The geniuses that were nurtured in the Ying Tian Academy would generally not be sent to the Ying Tian Sect. Instead, they would stay in the academy as teachers. Of course, as long as the student's performance was outstanding enough, the Ying Tian Sect would also send out an invitation. As for whether the student would stay or not, that would depend on the student's own decision.
The only thing that made Gu Xuan feel helpless was that the students of the Yingtian Academy had no way of requesting to enter the Yingtian Sect on their own, unless they were invited by the Yingtian Sect. Or rather, there was no test to enter the Yingtian Sect.
This also meant that whether or not one could join the Ying Tian Sect was completely dependent on the mood of the people in the Ying Tian Sect. If one was unlucky, they might not even be qualified to be invited.
After another dozen or so days of cultivation, Gu Xuan didn't kill many flame beasts, but he had completely stepped into the peak of Mystic Eight Star. He only needed an opportunity to break through to Mystic Nine Star.
At the same time, Gu Xuan's pills had been completely refined. Even if there were any leftovers, they would not be of much use.
At night, Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on a large tree. He slowly breathed in and out as he began to break through to the next realm. Without the help of medicinal pills, if he wanted to break through to the next realm, he had to comprehend a little bit of inspiration from cultivation and then take advantage of it to break through.
"Junior Sister Han, why did you reject my confession again and again? I, Mo Ran, don't think that I'm worse than anyone else. Could it be that you have someone else in your heart?"
Gu Xuan was in the middle of his cultivation when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Raising his head, he saw Mo Ran and Han Xinyan standing not too far away.
"Senior Brother Mo, you should know very well why I won't accept you. You're a womanizer in the sect, and you've toyed with who knows how many people. I don't want to be your plaything." Han Xinyan's expression was somewhat ugly.
"You mean them? They're different from you. I don't like them at all. It's just that these people deliberately sent themselves to me. I'm just playing around. However, I'm sincere towards you, Junior Sister Han. "Mo Ran's eyes were filled with lust as he pretended to be sincere.
"Enough!" Han Xinyan's expression became even uglier. "Do you think I don't know? That's not what you say when you're toying with someone. You bribed an elder and arranged for me to train with you. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
"Junior Sister Han!" Mo Ran was still unwilling to give up and took a step forward.
Clang!
Han Xinyan directly unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Mo Ran. She coldly said, "If Senior Brother Mo continues to pester me, then I'll have no choice but to fight you to the death."
"Junior Sister Han, what are you doing?" Mo Ran's face twitched. He took a step back and let Han Xinyan leave.
Looking at Han Xinyan's departing figure, a trace of anger appeared in Mo Ran's eyes. "Bah! Why are you pretending to be so virtuous? Which woman that I, Mo Ran, have not thrown herself at me? If you had obeyed me, I would have let you have some fun. Now, hmph!"
After Mo Ran left, Gu Xuan shook his head and smiled. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a scum while he was cultivating here.
"Fine. I've asked so many questions about the Ying Heaven Sect in the past half a month. I owe Han Xinyan a favor. If she encounters any trouble, I'll help her out. That can be considered as returning the favor."
Gu Xuan smiled. His figure flashed, and he disappeared.
Mo Ran, who had just left, felt a trace of movement. He turned around to take a look, but he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. "What's going on? I feel like there's someone here. Did I sense wrongly?"
Gu Xuan's Spiritual Strength was extremely powerful. He could clearly observe Mo Ran from the same distance. However, it was wishful thinking for Mo Ran to observe him.
…
The next day, the three of them set off as usual. However, Han Xinyan's face was a little gloomy, while Mo Ran still had a warm smile on his face. It was as if he had a candid personality.
When the four of them gathered, Mo Ran's gaze suddenly landed on Gu Xuan. "Junior Brother Gu, you and I are the strongest in our group. Why don't we have a spar this time?"
"Senior Brother Mo wants to have a spar with me?" Gu Xuan looked over with a faint smile.
"It's not a spar. It's just a competition. We'll split up and see who can kill more Flame Beasts in a day. What do you think?" Mo Ran said with a smile.
Bai Ling, who was standing beside Mo Ran, sneered. "Is there a need to compete? How can Gu Xuan be compared to Senior Brother Mo? Senior Brother Mo only needs to use half of his strength to win."
Gu Xuan couldn't be bothered with Bai Ling. He only looked at Mo Ran. "A spar between the two of us isn't much. However, will Junior Sister Han and the others stay here? If they encounter danger, won't it be too late to rescue them? "
"You don't have to worry about this." Mo Ran shook his head indifferently. "The two Junior Sisters can just follow me. I'll be responsible for their safety. Coincidentally, I'm much stronger than Junior Brother Gu. It's fair to bring the two of them."
"Then forget it." Gu Xuan shook his head. "I'm afraid that Senior Brother Mo won't be able to protect them."
A strange look flashed across Mo Ran's eyes. "Junior Brother Gu, what do you mean? I've always been responsible for the safety of the two Junior Sisters. There wasn't a problem. Why is there a problem now? Has my strength decreased? Or does Junior Brother Gu think that I want to harm the two Junior Sisters?"
"That's right. Gu Xuan, you don't have the right to question Senior Brother Mo. Your strength is so much weaker than Senior Brother Mo. Do you think that you can do anything if Senior Brother Mo can't protect us?" Bai Ling sneered.
Gu Xuan looked at Bai Ling with pity. Her life was probably going to be taken away by Mo Ran. How could she still be so stupid?
Han Xinyan looked at Mo Ran cautiously. She slowly said, "How about this? Senior Brother Mo will go alone. We'll go with Junior Brother Gu and the other two."
"How can that be?" Mo Ran's expression turned ugly. "You're disciples of Ying Tian Sect. You have to go with me. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'll be scolded by the sect elders. Since you don't want to split up, then let's go together."
Han Xinyan couldn't hold back the anger in her heart. "Mo Ran, don't think that I don't know what you're planning."
Gu Xuan waved his hand. He smiled at Han Xinyan and said, "I think that Senior Sister Han must have misunderstood Senior Brother Mo. Since Senior Brother Mo doesn't want to compete, then let's go together."
"Junior Brother Gu …" Han Xinyan's face was filled with anxiety.
"That's right. Let's go together. I have to be with Senior Brother Mo at all times," Bai Ling said.
"Sigh!" Han Xinyan sighed helplessly. She already had a bad feeling about this. However, she and Mo Ran were from the same sect. She couldn't fall out with him before Mo Ran really took action. If Gu Xuan had insisted, then it would have been fine. However, she didn't expect that Gu Xuan would be so "stupid" even though he looked so alert.
"Alright, let's go." A cold glint flashed in Mo Ran's eyes. He took the lead and rushed out.
The three of them followed closely behind him. Soon, the four of them arrived at a canyon. This canyon was extremely narrow. After Gu Xuan and the other two walked in, Mo Ran stood at the entrance of the canyon, blocking the three of them inside.
"Senior Brother Mo, what is the meaning of this?" Sensing Mo Ran's strange actions, Han Xinyan immediately cried out.
"What is the meaning of this?" Mo Ran sneered. He completely unleashed the aura of a Two Star Honorable Martial Artist. He looked at Han Xinyan and said, "Junior Sister Han, I tried to please you in every possible way before. However, you didn't appreciate my kindness. So, I can only use force."
Hearing this, Bai Ling immediately revealed a jealous expression. She hurriedly took a step forward and said, "If Senior Brother Mo lacks a female companion, why do you need to force her? I'm willing to be Senior Brother Mo's female companion."
"You?" Mo Ran mockingly looked at Bai Ling and sneered, "A slut who has been played by others countless times. I don't even have the interest to touch you. Of course, I won't reveal what I'm doing this time. Before I play with Han Xinyan, I'll kill all of you first."
"Senior Brother Mo, you!" Only then did Bai Ling react. Her expression changed drastically.
"Idiot." Seeing this scene, Gu Xuan also shook his head mockingly.
"Gu Xuan!" Mo Ran looked at Gu Xuan. The dark expression on his face became even denser, "I wanted to take care of them first before taking care of you. I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to die. So, I'll fulfill your wish."
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "I don't seem to be a disciple of the Ying Tian Sect. This has nothing to do with you. Do you think that I'll go to the Ying Tian Sect to report you?"
Gu Xuan was also curious. He originally thought that Mo Ran wanted to split up with him because he didn't want to deal with him. However, he didn't expect the latter to specifically deal with him. If he thought it was troublesome, why did he have to invite him to come along?
"Hmph!" Mo Ran sneered, "You're indeed no threat to me. However, you're only an Eight Star Xuan Grade, but you actually have the strength of a Supreme Grade. This makes me very unhappy. I hate people who are more talented than me. So, you have to die!"
Gu Xuan shook his head and sneered. He didn't expect Mo Ran to want his life for such a ridiculous reason. Just because he was talented, he wanted to kill him without any reason. It was a little strange.
