124: Distinguished guests visit

"Awe the Qinggu Heaven Domain?"

After more than thirty years, a main quest has finally appeared again; Lin Chen suddenly became excited.

However, since the situation in the Canglan Continent was still not very clear, Lin Chen decided to wait for Xuanji Hall to investigate the intelligence thoroughly first. Acting rashly was not a wise move... On the other side, three streaks of light were constantly approaching the Wending Sect.

"Young Master, when did such a large Sect appear in this Endless Wasteland?!"

From afar, the three saw an immortal Sect covering a radius of a hundred thousand miles, with ethereal immortal music playing and Great Dao Laws surrounding it.

"...This, this, this."

Yang Hao was so shocked that he was speechless.

Born of noble birth, he had traveled through various continents of the Qinggu Heaven Domain with his Elders. But even the largest Sect in the Qinggu Heaven Domain could not compare with this Sect. Could it be... some ancient Sect?

But that didn't seem right either!

"I remember coming here before, and there wasn't any Sect here!" Yang Hao asked with a frown, "Could it be that This Young Master remembered wrongly?"

"Young Master, I passed by here once a few years ago. I remember it very clearly; this was originally just a wasteland!"

"...Then how could this be?"

"Young Master, don't think too much. Let's go down and take a look first!"

"Alright!"

The three turned into streaks of light and headed straight for the mountain gate of the Wending Sect.

"Who's there!"

"How dare you trespass into my Wending Sect!"

"Get down here!"

Just as the three approached within ten thousand miles of the Wending Sect's mountain gate, they were discovered by a large black dog.

The large black dog bared its teeth, and in an instant, its body grew dozens of times larger. Its head resembled a wolf's, its vertical pupils were crimson, and its entire body radiated a heaven-shaking aura.

"Roar—!"

After a world-shaking roar, the large black dog raised a front paw, and an extremely condensed Shadow Claw tore through the Void Realm, aiming straight for Yang Hao, the leader!

"Young Master, watch out!"

A Guard behind Yang Hao reacted extremely quickly. The space distorted slightly, and he was already blocking Yang Hao's path. With a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier formed instantly.

"Bang—!"

The Shadow Claw struck the barrier, making a dull sound. Ripples spread, but it ultimately failed to break through and slowly dissipated into nothingness.

"What?!"

Xiao Hei was startled.

It was now at the Peak Great Emperor stage, and that was its full-strength strike. In the Cangxuan Realm, it would be almost impossible for anyone to block this claw. Anyone below the Great Emperor level would be instantly crushed into meat paste.

Yet this Guard had blocked it so effortlessly.

This person's Realm... was above its own!

Is this Lingxuan Heaven really this terrifying?

Any random person who shows up is above the Great Emperor level!

Xiao Hei immediately lost its nerve and didn't dare to strike again, only glaring fiercely at the three people in front of it.

Bluffing.

"Humph, a mere Peak Great Emperor dares to attack my Young Master? You're looking for death!"

The three arrived at the Wending Sect's mountain gate. The Guard looked disdainful, his Early Earth Immortal Stage pressure faintly emanating. He clearly didn't care about the Peak Great Emperor black dog. As for the others guarding the gate, most were only in the Void Refining Realm or Integration Realm, not worth mentioning at all.

"Don't be rude!"

Yang Hao stopped the Guard with a look: "Did This Young Master tell you to speak? Step back!"

The Guard was stunned. Though puzzled, he didn't dare to disobey. He quickly bowed in agreement, restrained his aura, and stepped back, but his eyes remained vigilantly fixed on the large black dog.

Only then did Yang Hao turn around with a gentle smile and a hint of apology on his face. He cupped his hands toward Xiao Hei, adopting a quite humble posture: "This... uh, Fellow Daoist, I failed to discipline my servant properly and offended your noble Sect. I am truly sorry..."

A servant?

A servant has such a high cultivation level?

Xiao Hei was startled again, its aura weakening by thirty percent. It asked, "Who are you people? What are you doing at my Wending Sect?"

Wending Sect?

Very unfamiliar.

Yang Hao pondered the name in his mind several times but still had no impression of it. Logically, such a massive Sect should definitely not be unknown in the Qinggu Heaven Domain. What exactly was going on?

This piqued his curiosity even more.

Yang Hao remained calm, his tone becoming even more gentle: "I am Yang Hao, from the Yang Family of the Canglan Continent. These two are my Guards."

"Yang Family? Never heard of them..."

"Hmm?"

Yang Hao was slightly taken aback.

The Yang Family was a colossus in the Canglan Continent, known to everyone. In the past, as long as he announced his name, the other party would be extremely polite. However, this stupid dog in front of him had no reaction at all and instead asked:

"For what purpose have you come to my Wending Sect?"

"We have long admired the Wending Sect's great name and have come specifically to visit." Yang Hao replied casually without blinking.

"..."

Xiao Hei was speechless.

Good grief, this guy is just lying through his teeth!

My Wending Sect just ascended; where did you get this 'long admired' from?

Could it be... that the Wending Sect's great name in the Cangxuan Realm has already spread to Lingxuan Heaven?

"Who are you kidding!"

Xiao Hei thought to itself that it wasn't easily fooled. No matter what the three said, Xiao Hei wouldn't let them in, because it still remembered the words the Sect Master had spoken!

"Xiao Hei, let them in."

Just then, Lin Chen's voice sounded in Xiao Hei's ear.

Xiao Hei curled its lip and made way: "The Sect Master says you can come in."

As soon as the three stepped into the Wending Sect, they were shocked by the dense Spiritual Qi inside. The great dao spacetime pagoda, the heaven-reaching pagoda, the Enlightenment Stone Tablet, the mortal transformation pool, the Myriad Laws Secret Realm... one dazzling scene after another was revealed before them.

Although they didn't know the specific uses, one look was enough to know they were certainly extraordinary.

"Could it be that this really is an ancient great Sect?"

The three couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.

Soon, following the guidance, the three arrived at a deep pool in the back mountain.

A handsome young man sat there fishing. Judging by the aura he radiated, he was only at the Peak Great Emperor stage.

Beside him, a maidservant was attending to him.

This maidservant... was actually also at the Peak Great Emperor stage!

"..."

Yang Hao hesitated, not knowing how to start the conversation.

The person in front of him looked very young and his cultivation wasn't very high; he should be a Disciple of some Elder in this Wending Sect. It's just... that dog clearly said the Sect Master was waiting for them here, yet he hasn't shown his face. What on earth does this mean?

"Welcome to the Wending Sect, you three."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and stood up: "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lin Chen, the Sect Master of the Wending Sect."

"...Ah?!"

All three were stunned.

They never would have imagined that for such an ancient great Sect, the Sect Master would only be at the mere Peak Great Emperor level.

...This is very unreasonable!

"My name is Yang Hao, and these two are my Guards."

Though puzzled, Yang Hao still politely introduced himself.

"Sect Master Lin..."

Without needing Lin Chen's instructions, Liu Ruoxi set out spiritual tea and spiritual fruits to entertain the guests.

After some pleasantries, Yang Hao couldn't help but ask: "Previously, this Endless Wasteland... I remember it has always been uninhabited without any Sects. The Wending Sect's sudden appearance here is truly perplexing."

"If it's convenient... could Sect Master Lin resolve my confusion?"

After saying that, Yang Hao and the two Guards all looked at Lin Chen with curiosity.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, without any hesitation: "It's not inconvenient at all. The reason is very simple! Because... our Wending Sect ascended from the Lower Realm!"
