It was clear that he was the second most prominent person on the flying vessel, aside from Ling Fei.

His name was Sun Que, and he was quite talented within the Xuan Yi Sect.

This time, Ling Fei had taken Ke Lan and the other junior brothers and sisters out to broaden their horizons.

Focusing solely on secluded cultivation would hardly lead to any significant achievements.

Apparently, this man named Sun Que was somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Fei’s treatment of Gu Chen.

At this moment, the pretty and delicate Ke Lan spoke up, “What’s wrong with this?

‘When injustice arises, draw your sword to help,’ isn’t this the teaching our sect imparts to us?”

Upon hearing this, the young man, Sun Que, was somewhat at a loss for words.

Ke Lan was their junior sister, her talent nothing less impressive than Ling Fei’s, and she was also extremely favored within the Xuan Yi Sect, so Sun Que dared not offend her lightly.

“What, are you reluctant?” Ling Fei’s voice was melodious and full of charm as she gazed at Gu Chen intently.

Gu Chen responded with a carefree smile, “Since that’s the case, I thank Miss Ling for her assistance.

I am grateful in advance.”

“By the way, we still don’t know your name.

What’s it?” Ke Lan’s eyes shone brightly as she blinked at Gu Chen.

As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of everyone on the flying vessel turned, obviously curious about Gu Chen.

“My surname is Gu, given name Jiuge, Gu Jiuge,” Gu Chen said with a smile, clasping his hands in greeting.

He could no longer use his real name in this domain, as all his enemies were here, truly a case of narrow roads for enemies.

While the domain was vast and encountering one another wasn’t certain, Gu Chen, being new to the realm, couldn’t forego the necessary caution.

“Gu Jiuge?

Never heard of it.” Sun Que frowned, scouring his memory and finding no trace of the name’s origin.

“Alright, Big Brother Gu, then you will come back to the sect with us,” Ke Lan said to Gu Chen with a sweet smile.

Hearing this, Gu Chen also nodded gently, agreeing to the proposal.

By now, after some time in the upper realm, Gu Chen had already planned out his path ahead.

“Change our course, return to the sect.” Following Ling Fei’s command, the flying vessel turned and sped off toward the east as a streak of light.

“Hm?!”

However, in the next moment, the expressions of everyone on the flying vessel changed, as another flying vessel appeared nearby with over a dozen figures standing on it.

Those people were donned in azure blue martial robes, predominantly male fighters, with a golden “Bi” character embroidered on their chests.

Upon sighting each other, a cold sneer spread across the faces of those people, but as they noticed Ling Fei at the forefront, magnificent in appearance, their smiles faded and turned to a somber demeanor.

Gu Chen immediately saw that these azure-robed people had animosity with those from the Xuan Yi Sect, like Ling Fei and her companions.

“Eh?”

At that moment, the gaze of the opposite group swept across, and they too noticed the unfamiliar Gu Chen among them.

“Big Brother Gu, these are people from the Bi Bo Sect, our sworn enemies, and it has been so for many generations.

If you encounter them when you are out, you must be very careful; they like to strike from the shadows.

Each one of them is ruthless and cruel, and it’s even said they have dealings with demons,” Ke Lan whispered into Gu Chen’s ear.

“Dealing with demons?” Hearing this, Gu Chen’s eyes narrowed with interest in the Bi Bo Sect people before him.

However, with his experience, he could tell that the dozen or so Bi Bo Sect warriors before him didn’t harbor demons or other malevolent entities, suggesting an issue with the sect’s higher echelons.

“Sister Ling!” At this moment, a burly man from the Bi Bo Sect cupped his fists in greeting towards Ling Fei.

With a cold expression on her face, Ling Fei did not respond or make a move, simply steering the flying vessel past the Bi Bo Sect’s people.

The burly man from the Bi Bo Sect had a shadowy look in his eyes as he watched Ling Fei and her companions’ flying vessel leave.

“If Sister Ling weren’t here today, forcing them to hold back out of fear, we surely would’ve had a great battle,” said Ke Lan, Sun Que, and the others, breathing a sigh of relief as the Bi Bo Sect didn’t make a move.

Indeed, they were wary of the Bi Bo Sect, and it seemed that from their past encounters, they had often come off worse for wear.

The flying vessel was swift, and in less than half an hour, Gu Chen had returned with them to the mountain gate of the Xuan Yi Sect.

Ahead, surrounded by swirling mists, stood a great mountain that soared into the clouds, over four or five thousand feet tall and majestically imposing.

It was adorned with all sorts of exotic flowers, ancient trees, abundant spiritual energy, waterfalls, and springs, all contributing to a supremely beautiful scene.

This was the destination of Gu Chen’s journey, the location of the Xuan Yi Sect’s mountain gate.

In fact, Gu Chen had already taken in some of the upper realm’s scenery on the way on the flying vessel, and even the most ordinary wild grass by the roadside surpassed anything in the Nine Provinces below.

The sight of the Xuan Yi Sect’s mountain gate also gave Gu Chen quite the shock; it was even more imposing than the sacred lands of the Nine Provinces.

Just by approaching it, Gu Chen felt an overwhelming rush of spiritual energy he had never experienced before.

All the pores on his body opened up, greedily absorbing it.

“A formation?” At the same time, he keenly detected the presence of the Xuan Yi Sect’s Protective Mountain Formation.

The intricacy of this formation far surpassed any he had seen in the Nine Provinces below.

“We’re finally back.” Ke Lan, cute and sweet-looking, exhaled lightly and relaxed.
