Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 75: Ten Thousand Swords Sect Blocks the Way!

"How is it, old man? Did you see anything?" Chen Chang'an asked, his expression on his face half-smiling.

"Nothing, nothing," the old man replied.

"Kid, I didn't see anything," the old man immediately shook his head vigorously, his gaze towards Chen Chang'an now filled with a hint of fear.

Fortunately, after observing for a few seconds and realizing that Chen Chang'an had no intention of attacking him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kid, Formless World people don't deceive Formless World people."

"Can you tell me who you really are?"

After taking a deep breath, the old man cautiously said to Chen Chang'an.

He didn't originally want to ask, but when he thought about the countless gods and demons he saw, as well as the figure sitting alone on the throne, overlooking the world, his legs couldn't help but tremble.

If he didn't clarify this question, he estimated that he would never have peace in his life!

"Yes, I can."

"But are you sure you really want to know?"

"No, I don't want to." The old man shook his head again.

Although not knowing this matter would make it difficult for him to find peace for the rest of his life, there are some things in this world that are better left unknown.

"Old man, will we meet again?" Chen Chang'an said.

"Meet again?"

The old man shook his head: "No, we won't meet again, not anymore."

Saying that, the old man walked away into the distance.

He really didn't dare to stay by Chen Chang'an's side anymore, this devil!

Seeing the old man leave, Chen Chang'an didn't mind and continued to sit in his seat, slowly drinking his tea.

Buzz~!

After an unknown amount of time passed, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky.

Then, countless rays of light floated out from the sky.

Within the envelopment of these countless rays of light, faint figures of several Daoists could be seen.

"Esteemed seniors, our ancestor will be arriving soon."

"Please return to your previously arranged seats."

"The lecture on the Dao will begin shortly."

Then, a clear and ethereal female voice came from the sky.

It was the voice of Qin Miaoyi.

With Qin Miaoyi's reminder, the people on the square also ended their gathering one after another and returned to their designated positions within their sects.

"Junior brother, nothing happened, right?"

As the gathering came to an end, Xuanqingzi and the others hurried back.

As soon as he returned, Xuanqingzi asked Chen Chang'an.

"Nothing happened," Chen Chang'an replied.

Not long after, a figure appeared in the sky.

An old voice descended from above.

"Fellow Daoists, I apologize for the wait. I will now explain my method to you."

Yuan Qingxiang had arrived at this time.

Her voice was extremely gentle, and wherever it reached, it was filled with a vibrant green.

With the arrival of Qingxiang, spring blossomed wherever she went.

Next, it was time for Yuan Qingxiangzun's sermon.

"There is Taiji in the Yi, and the two principles are born. Look at me, especially quiet, and the qi should follow."

"Therefore, with an open mind like a valley, the spiritual platform is clear and secluded."

After a while, a vast voice resounded in the sky above the square, clearly reverberating in everyone's ears.

The people below did not disappoint. When they heard Yuan Qingxiangzun's sermon, they immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and listened carefully.

Every time Xiangzun preached, it was a great benefit for all living beings.

They didn't want to miss it.

Only Chen Chang'an had no reaction throughout.

"Alright, that's the end of this sermon."

"On behalf of Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, I thank all Fellow Daoists for coming."

After about two or three hours, the voice of the sermon finally stopped.

Yuan Qingxiangzun glanced at the people below who were still in contemplation, thanked them, and then got up and left.

However, when passing by Chen Chang'an, her gaze lingered a little longer.

Because among the thousands of people present, only this person in front of her showed no comprehension of her sermon.

This was truly rare.

However, Yuan Qingxiangzun didn't think too much about it.

There are a total of three thousand ways in the world.

Not everyone can resonate with her Dao, that's unrealistic.

However, she couldn't help but wonder if it was an illusion.

Yuan Qingxiangzun found that whenever her gaze fell on the Confucian scholar, she would always feel a palpitation.

"Miao Yi, do you know that person?"

Thinking about it, Yuan Qingxiangzun asked Qin Miaoyi beside her.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, disciple knows him. That person is Mr. Chen Chang'an from the Tian Shui region."

"Not hiding it from the Ancestor, when disciple went to receive the distinguished guest earlier, it was Mr. Chen who was received twice."

Qin Miaoyi replied.

"He is Tian Shui's Chen Chang'an?"

Yuan Qingxiangzun was momentarily stunned.

Then, for some reason, she suddenly looked at Qin Miaoyi and said,

"Miaoyi, he has come from afar."

"Now that Mr. Chen has come to our Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, you must treat him well and not neglect him."

"Yes, Ancestor." Qin Miaoyi nodded quickly.

Yuan Qingxiangzun left.

After she had been gone for a while, people on the square gradually woke up from their contemplation.

And each person who woke up had a somewhat joyful expression on their face, clearly having gained something.

Even Xuan Qingzi and the others, after waking up, let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

On the other hand, Mao Ruxue and the other junior disciples didn't gain much.

But that was normal.

Yuan Qingxiangzun's level was much higher than theirs. Although what she taught was already simplified, it was still too high-level for Mao Ruxue and the others who had just started practicing.

However, although the gains were not great, it was still a considerable harvest for them.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to listen to a Venerable Level expert's sermon.

"Junior Brother, let's go over there and give a gift."

After tidying up, Xuan Qingzi said to Chen Chang'an and the others.

Then, the group went to the place to give gifts.

At this moment, it is already crowded here.

When attending a banquet, it is not important what benefits you receive, but rather what kind of gift you give.

If the gift is too light, it will be seen as disrespectful.

If it is too heavy, it will be seen as trying to curry favor.

"Heavenly Water Sect, presenting a pair of Southern Seas Purple Coral."

Soon, the gift was presented.

There was no trouble when presenting the gift, but when the name "Heavenly Water Sect" was announced, it attracted the attention of most people at the scene.

There was no way around it. The five characters "Tianshui Chen Changan" had become something that countless cultivators were obsessed with recently.

Upon hearing the three words "Heavenly Water Sect," it was strange if they didn't pay attention.

So naturally, it caused a burst of exclamations and amazement.

Chen Changan didn't show any expression, but Xuanqingzi was delighted.

Whenever he encountered an acquaintance, he would say that Chen Changan was his junior brother and that they came together.

After being responsible for diplomatic work for so many years, this was probably the proudest moment for Xuanqingzi, without a doubt.

After the gifts were given, Chen Changan and his group prepared to leave.

Similarly, it was Qin Miaoyi who came to pick up everyone.

There was no other way because large flying boats like the Heavenly Water were unable to be stored in storage rings or spaces.

So at this moment, the Heavenly Water was parked on the square specially designated for docking flying boats by the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

And that square required the guidance of disciples from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion to enter.

That was why Qin Miaoyi came to see them off.

The group quickly left.

Except for Chen Changan, whose face remained unchanged, the expressions on the faces of the others, whether it was Xuanqingzi, the elder leading the team, or Mao Ruxue and the other disciples, were all very good.

Especially Xuanqingzi, this trip could be said to have allowed him to show off in front of his old comrades.

Of course, this show-off was done with Chen Changan as the background.

However, in the midst of everyone's joy, as soon as they walked out of the gate, Chen Changan suddenly frowned.

He glanced in a direction in the sky, then said to Xuanqingzi who was walking in front of him, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid we can't leave today."

"Hmm? What did you say, Junior Brother?"

"We can't leave?"

Upon hearing Chen Changan's words, Xuanqingzi was immediately stunned, obviously not understanding.

But before he could ask why.

The next moment, he noticed a group of people blocking their way not far ahead.

There were about four or five of them.

Their cultivation levels were not low, with the lowest being at the Third Realm, and there were even two at the Fourth Realm!

The attitude of these five people was extremely arrogant, standing on the path that the group had to pass through.

It didn't seem like they were resting there. From the looks of it, they were specifically waiting to block Chen Changan and his group.

Seeing this group of people, Xuanqingzi immediately furrowed his brows.

But following the idea of making a big deal small and a small deal even smaller, he still walked over and asked, "May I ask who you are and why you are blocking our way?"

"Venerable, I'm sorry."

"We are only blocking the people we should block."

"And unfortunately, you happen to be the people we should block."

"So, we have stopped you all."

The leading disciple spoke in a calm tone.

Only to see that this was a disciple holding a sword to his chest, and behind him, a small Law Manifestation was faintly visible.

There was no doubt that this was a powerful figure at the peak of the Fourth Realm.

However, it is unclear who gave him such confidence.

To the point where someone like him, a Four Boundary figure, would dare to speak to a Five Boundary Divine Treasure cultivator like this?

"Are you all trying to stir up trouble?" Xuanqingzi's expression immediately furrowed as he asked in a deep voice.

"Old man, you're quite clever. We indeed intend to stir up trouble."

The man with the sword shrugged his hands and laughed carelessly.

His eyes were full of provocation.

"Bold!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Xuanqingzi didn't make any moves, but Wang Tingfei and the others behind him did.

The four disciples all drew their swords and pointed them at the men across from them.

Mao Ruxue and the others did not draw their swords.

They couldn't participate in a battle of this level.

However, their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at the men across from them.

"Heh heh, a few juniors at the Divine Ability Realm dare to draw their swords against us?"

Seeing Wang Tingfei and the others draw their swords, the leading man on the other side of the confrontation laughed disdainfully.

Then, in the next moment, apart from him, the four disciples beside him also unsheathed their swords.

Swish!

As the swords were unsheathed, the sound of the blades cutting through the air was crisp.

Without exception, all four of them were experts in the way of the sword!

In an instant, the atmosphere froze at that moment.

"Hmm? What are these people doing?"

"This is the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. They're being so brazen. Do they not want to live?"

Almost in the instant when both sides were on the verge of drawing their swords, the scene of the roadblock was seen by the people around them.

They all immediately gathered around.

They wanted to see what these people had eaten to have such audacity to cause trouble at the grand banquet of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

They must not want to live!

"These are people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

However, soon someone realized that things were not simple.

But after seeing the marks on the clothes of the five people blocking the way, everyone felt that everything seemed less unusual.

Because they discovered that these five disciples all came from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, a first-class sect directly under the Sword Pavilion!

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Since the Sword Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect was defeated and put to sleep by Emperor Song five years ago, this sect has been very active.

They seemed to have the momentum to replace the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and become the new top ten.

And the Ten Thousand Swords Sect indeed had the strength for it!

Not only did they have several Sword Masters in the sect, but they also controlled a larger sword realm than the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and had the support of the Sword Pavilion, one of the top ten.

In terms of size and the number of Divine Ability cultivators in the sect, they were on par with the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, and even slightly surpassed them!

A significant increase in strength will inevitably lead to an expansion of ambition.

That's why, when they arrived at Yuanqing Ancestor's banquet, they made a high-profile entrance.

So, although people found it outrageous for them to block the way now, they didn't find it too strange.

However, why would the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, such a large sect, block the way of an unknown sect?

People were puzzled.

"Are you all from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Xuanqingzi's brows furrowed even deeper. He wasn't stupid. Listening to the words of the people around him and looking at the disciples' attire, he quickly understood.

This Ten Thousand Swords Sect seemed to be up to no good!
