61: uninvited guest

As soon as he finished speaking, several Disciples of Qinghe Sect rushed out.

They stared at Li Luo with unkind eyes. After all, this young man, who looked even younger than them, dared to wander around their Qinghe Sect as if it were his own backyard. It was simply too audacious!

Seeing this, Li Luo's eyes lit up.

“You guys are forcing me to show off, aren't you?”

“Then I won't be polite. I'll reveal the identity of my big boss behind the scenes and scare you all to death.”

“Whoosh.”

“Bang, bang, bang~~~”

Just as Li Luo was about to reveal his identity and stun their titanium alloy dog eyes, a sword strike suddenly came from the west.

The sword light directly struck the chests of these Disciples.

“Ah~”

With a few screams, these Disciples were sent flying out like kites with broken strings.

“A bunch of dogs, are you blind?”

A furious curse, accompanied by a figure, rushed over, covered in dust.

When Li Luo saw this figure, he immediately smiled.

“An old acquaintance.”

Sword Without Trace respectfully said to Li Luo, “Sword Without Trace greets Revered Master.”

Not long ago, Sect Master Wan Qingliu had instructed him to always pay attention to Li Luo's movements.

Within the Qinghe Sect's territory, no one was allowed to offend Li Luo; offenders would be killed without mercy!

This made Sword Without Trace even more certain about the terrifying battle fluctuations that occurred last night deep within the Qinghe Sect’s Forbidden Ground.

It must have been related to this young man in front of him.

Moreover, it seemed that this young man was unharmed, and the Qinghe Sect had to curry favor with him, which was enough to explain some issues.

He did not ask too many questions.

However, he knew that when facing Li Luo, he had to lower his posture again and again.

“Elder Zhijian?”

The fallen Disciples looked utterly bewildered and aggrieved.

Were they wrong to protect the Sect?

Why were they being beaten today instead?

“What Revered Master, you dogs, remember this Revered Master's face! If you offend him again, you will be executed immediately!”

Facing Li Luo, Sword Without Trace was submissive.

However, when facing these few Disciples of the Qinghe Sect, he struck with heavy blows.

Immediately, he scared these young ones, whose heads were full of question marks, almost to the point of wetting themselves.

“Yes.”

The few of them agreed.

Looking at their pathetic state, Sword Without Trace felt a surge of anger; they were only a few years older than Li Luo, yet the gap was so huge?

“Zhao Shuang, all of you, go to the Enforcement Hall and receive a hundred cane strikes!”

Sword Without Trace fumed.

How could they be so useless?

Upon hearing this, the faces of the few people named Zhao Shuang turned pale with fright.

Li Luo waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. They are just children. Ignorance is bliss. Let it go this time.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuang and the others looked speechless.

“Children?”

“Big brother, are your hairs fully grown yet?”

“Why are you all standing there dumbfounded? Hurry up and thank Revered Master.”

Looking at Zhao Shuang's pathetic state, Sword Without Trace wanted to kick them a few times.

“Oh, oh, yes, yes, thank you, Revered Master.”

Zhao Shuang felt Sword Without Trace's killing intent, and immediately, he shuddered, climbed to his feet, and quickly bowed in thanks.

Li Luo felt incredibly comfortable.

And the little black Chicken Bro on his shoulder even puffed out his chest.

“Revered Master truly has a grand presence. As he said, it feels just like home here.”

Sword Without Trace said with a smile, “Revered Master, where do you want to go? I'll take you there.”

Li Luo said, “To the place where the Qinghe Sect stores Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and other skills, as well as historical scrolls.”

Knowledge is power.

For the first ten-plus years after Li Luo's Transmigration to this world, he had been following his Revered Master, Old Swindler Xuan Long.

His horizons were probably limited to the Qinghe Region.

He didn't really understand the outside world, the Eastern Desolate Lands.

Another point was that Li Luo wanted to observe some Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and Cultivation Techniques.

Although the System's rewards were all top-tier, only by integrating the strengths of various schools could his Dao of Cultivation go further.

He was about to step into the Fish Leaping Realm.

He was truly embarking on the path of Immortal Cultivation, so solidifying his Foundation was incredibly important.

Sword Without Trace readily agreed, “Alright, no problem.”

Little Black said, “Revered Master, I won't go with you. I want to wander around by myself.”

Upon hearing this, Sword Without Trace was surprised. This Spiritual Beast of Li Luo's had such high intelligence. It was just a little chick, yet it could speak human words?

Moreover, it had three chicken claws, which looked quite extraordinary.

Li Luo didn't mind, “Alright, go.”

After all, this Chicken Bro had excessive energy and simply couldn't sit still, so he let him wander off by himself.

Flapping his wings, Chicken Bro landed from Li Luo's body and quickly disappeared from Li Luo's sight in a flash.

Li Luo shook his head.

Under Sword Without Trace's guidance, they soon arrived at the Qinghe Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

Immersed in the Scripture Pavilion, Li Luo read with great interest from history, unofficial histories, and some legends.

During this time, he also flipped through books on Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and other Cultivation Techniques.

He felt that he had gained a lot.

......

“Eh, such rich Spiritual Qi. That big radish is really juicy.”

Little Black, who was running around in the Qinghe Sect, suddenly had his eyes light up. He saw a plump big radish in a nearby medicinal field.

He immediately ran over and started pecking at it.

“Wow, so juicy, and a little sweet too.”

Chicken Bro was extremely excited.

“Where did this monster come from, daring to peck at my hundred-year-old Profound Ginseng? You deserve to die!”

Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended. A powerful expert, wearing a straw hat and looking like an old farmer, rapidly approached Little Black.

Little Black said proudly, “Stop, my Revered Master is Li Luo!”

When bullied, just report the Revered Master's name.

Little Black had completely taken the Qinghe Sect as his home.

“Li Luo?”

Boom.

The old man suddenly braked, splashing mud all over Little Black, which made the latter very displeased and glared fiercely at the old man.

“Oh my god, it's him!”

Now, among those with a bit of status in the entire Qinghe Sect, who didn't know this name?

The Sect Master had given an order: if anyone disobeyed, they would be executed without mercy.

“My hundred-year-old Profound Ginseng!”

The old man let out a wail.

“Oh, this mushroom is good. Let me try it.”

“Thousand-Year Blood Ganoderma!”

The old man gnashed his teeth.

......

“I announce that the top ten of this Qinghe Region Grand Competition have been decided!”

They are:

“Ye Liangchen of Qinghe Sect.”

“Gai Shishi of Qinghe Sect.”

“Dao Lengqiu of Dao-Sword Sect.”

“Ye Ling of Dao-Sword Sect.”

“Wang Yuyan of Guanlan Pavilion.”

......

“Ji Yue'er of Haoran Sect.”

“Sword Dust of Haoran Sect.”

As the referee's voice fell, deafening shouts erupted from all directions.

Countless Cultivators looked at the ten people on the platform, filled with admiration.

These ten were the top Prodigies in the Qinghe Region.

Prodigies among Prodigies!

Ji Yue'er pouted, feeling aggrieved, and said, “Hmph, smelly Revered Master, where did you go to play? You didn't even take me.”

“Hahahaha.....”

“Senior Brother, according to the map, this should be the Qinghe Region, right? The heavenly light that descended a while ago should have come from here.”

“Oh, there's a competition here?”

Finally, a sarcastic voice came, “What kind of competition? It's just children playing house.”
