271: Chapter 271 Heading to Beixuan Prefecture

"Rest assured, even after you leave, the Qingyun Sword Sect will remain the strongest among the Four Great Sects, because your spirit will forever inspire them. I hope there will come a day when we meet again," Mu Yunfeng said with emotion.

"We will. Once I have completed my mission, I will return."

After chatting with Mu Yunfeng for a while longer, Xiao Yuchen returned to the Inner Court. Li Yiran, Sect Master Hua Yuxi, Dongfang Qingcheng, and Wen Ruyu were packing their things, while Xiao Yuchen went to find the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tiger trio himself.

Compared to himself, the Qingyun Sword Sect needed them more. After all, two of them were at the Void Tempering, so if the Sect were truly in trouble, they could help. However, the enemies he encountered were becoming increasingly stronger, and the strength of the Void Tempering was a bit too low.

However, this Family of three Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers had only left the Monster Forest because they wanted to follow him. Now that he was leaving, they would be unhappy if he didn't take them along.

In the end, Xiao Yuchen still left the three of them at the Qingyun Sword Sect, but he promised that once he possessed sufficient strength, he would return to take them away.

After soothing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers, Xiao Yuchen did not want to disturb anyone. Taking advantage of the pre-dawn darkness, he led the four women out of their rooms.

However, when they arrived at the junction between the Inner Court and the Outer Court, thousands of Inner Court Disciples had gathered there, along with Outer Court Disciples.

Xiao Yuchen had wanted to leave quietly because he disliked such sentimental scenes, but he hadn't expected these Disciples to learn of his departure schedule.

"Farewell, Sect Master!"

"Farewell, Elder Yuchen!"

Everyone shouted in unison. Seeing this scene, the corners of Xiao Yuchen's eyes grew moist. No matter how powerful a force he established in the future, this place would always be his home.

"Everyone, go back. I hope you will all Cultivate diligently in the future. The future of the Qingyun Sword Sect will only get better and better. I believe in you all."

Xiao Yuchen fought back tears as he walked out. Sect Master Hua Yuxi felt equally uncomfortable; having been Sect Master for over a decade, the fact that she was less popular than Xiao Yuchen made her feel like a failure as a Sect Master.

In reality, Sect Master Hua Yuxi had done a very good job, but Xiao Yuchen's brilliance overshadowed her own. Of course, she was also willing to be the woman behind Xiao Yuchen.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yuchen led the four women away from the Qingyun Sword Sect and headed towards the Vajra Sect, as the Teleportation Array to Beixuan Prefecture was located there.

In fact, for the current Xiao Yuchen, the Mahayana Stage no longer posed a threat, but he was still interested in experts at the Mahayana Stage. At the very least, one had to be in the Mahayana Stage to be qualified to be his subordinate.

With his current strength, heading to Beixuan Prefecture was the safest option. However, since he had helped Xiyue Prefecture snatch third place from Beixuan Prefecture this time, the people of Beixuan Prefecture would surely hate him to the bone.

Upon arriving at the Vajra Sect, Xiao Yuchen stated his purpose. Although the Sect Leader was somewhat surprised, it was within his expectations.

Xiao Yuchen was strong and highly talented, with infinite possibilities for the future; remaining in Xiyue Prefecture would only hinder his growth.

"Elder Yuchen, you are the true winner in life, to have actually made off with the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sword Sect."

The Sect Leader gave Xiao Yuchen a thumbs up. Even though he preferred men, seeing Li Yiran and the other three women still made him somewhat envious.

"Let's not talk about that. Just take us to the Teleportation Array."

Xiao Yuchen did not want to dwell on this topic, as he already felt a chill emanating from behind him. This Sect Leader really knew how to press the wrong buttons; wasn't he just causing trouble for him?

The Sect Leader seemed to realize he had spoken too much and smiled awkwardly, leading the five of them to the Forbidden Ground of the Sect, where the Teleportation Array was located.

"Sect Master Hua, Elder Yuchen, I can only take you this far. You may go in on your own."

Xiao Yuchen nodded and led the four of them into the Forbidden Ground. To be safe, Xiao Yuchen brought the four women into his Taiji Space and boarded the Teleportation Array to Beixuan Prefecture alone.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but a glimmer of light appeared before Xiao Yuchen. He knew that the exit to Beixuan Prefecture was ahead.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally landed safely.

This was a high platform, and to his surprise, dozens of people were gathered there.

These people did not have high cultivation levels; most were in the Nascent Soul Stage, though a few had reached the Soul Transformation Stage.

Xiao Yuchen asked one of them and discovered that they were preparing to head to Xiyue Prefecture. After all, Xiyue Prefecture had taken third place this time, while Beixuan Prefecture was fourth, meaning the Spiritual Qi there would be more abundant than in Beixuan Prefecture for the next ten years.

Xiao Yuchen chuckled. His efforts had not been in vain; finally, someone was willing to go to Xiyue Prefecture. Xiyue Prefecture was no longer in last place.

Xiao Yuchen had no time to pay attention to these people and casually chose a direction to leave. Passing by a shop, he purchased a map of Beixuan Prefecture.

Being new to Beixuan Prefecture, a map was essential. Xiao Yuchen looked at the map; he was currently in the northern part of Beixuan Prefecture, in a place called Beiliang City.

Xiao Yuchen found a secluded spot and released Sect Master Hua Yuxi and the others from the Taiji Space. He had never been here before, but Sect Master Hua Yuxi should have.

"Yuchen, have we arrived in Beiliang City?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked.

"Yes, I just bought a map. This is indeed Beiliang City. Are you familiar with this area?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Hua Yuxi shook her head: "The previous Five Provinces Grand Competition was held in Sifang City in the central part of Beixuan Prefecture. We only passed through here, and all I know is that this area belongs to the Wind God Sect, one of the Four Great Sects."

"And how strong is the Wind God Sect?"

"The Wind God Sect Master is at the Late Mahayana Stage. Each Sect probably has two to three Mahayana Stage experts, and the other Elders are all in the Void Tempering, the strength of the Four Great Sects should be about the same."

"Since you came to Beixuan Prefecture to look for helpers, don't consider the Four Great Sects. As far as I know, the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects are all men; you won't be able to make off with them."

Hearing this from Sect Master Hua Yuxi, Xiao Yuchen felt awkward. Did he really have to sell his looks just to find helpers? What kind of logic was that?

"What do you take me for? I want to build a force, not establish a harem." Xiao Yuchen rolled his eyes.

"Who knows what you're thinking? Although your Medical Skills are heaven-defying, and you are a Great Master of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formations, your most prominent ability is still Dual Cultivation."

"This method is the simplest and fastest. As long as you put in some effort, you can quickly build a massive force. Isn't Yiran a perfect example?"

"A little over a month ago, she was just an ordinary person, and now she is in the Void Refinement Late-stage. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare believe it was real."

Sect Master Hua Yuxi's tone revealed her envy. It had taken her over a hundred years to Breakthrough from the Qi Refining Stage to the Void Tempering, and that was only because of some fortuitous encounters; otherwise, it might have taken even longer.

"Do you think Dual Cultivation is really that simple? If it weren't for the fact that you all cultivated the Chaos Yin Scripture while I cultivated the Chaos Yang Scripture, I'm afraid my cultivation would have stalled long ago due to a lack of Yang Qi," Xiao Yuchen complained inwardly.

"Then there's nothing for it. Besides the Four Great Sects, you can only head to the large families. However, you had better not let them know your identity, otherwise it might have the opposite effect, after all, you snatched third place from Beixuan Prefecture."
