Hao Qing went inside, found a place to sit, and then lazily said, "The Qing family has put out an announcement for recruitment."
Heaven-Defying Sect Leader Wan Changqing immediately stopped his discussion, then furrowed his brow and said, "I see theyâre really preparing to enter the Nanbu Realm. Are the other families making any moves?"
"I canât find out about the others. On the surface, there seems to be no movement, but I estimate theyâre preparing in secret, like us," Hao Qing responded.
Wan Changqing continued, "Then we need to speed up our preparations. Thereâs a high possibility that the School Vein Skill exists in the Nanbu Realm this time. Whether our Heaven-Defying Sect can restore the grandeur of the past Lingxiao Sword Sect depends on this opportunity."
Hao Qing said, "The chances arenât high now; we donât know how many forces are eyeing the Nanbu Realm."
"Even if the chances arenât high, we must give it a try. Without the School Vein Skill, recruiting people is really hard," Wan Changqing said with a troubled expression.
The School Vein Skill is the core asset of a faction. If one wants to grow stronger, it must have it.
So for the School Vein Skill, their Heaven-Defying Sect must go all out once they enter the Nanbu Realm this time.
The only point giving him hope currently is that the Heaven-Defying Sectâs overall power is not strong, and in the eyes of Six-star Influences, they donât leave much of an impression. So they wonât be deliberately targeted.
Thus, they have the chance to reap the benefits without having to confront the big guns!
Wan Changqing was about to continue speaking when suddenly urgent footsteps came from outside the door.
"Sect Leader, somethingâs happening at the Lingxiao Sword Sect ruins!"
A Mountain Suppression Realm expert hurriedly rushed into the hall.
"Somethingâs happening at the Lingxiao Sword Sect ruins?" Wan Changqing muttered, feeling puzzled, "Whatâs the situation?"
"Just now, someone from Baiyue City saw many people coming in and out of the Lingxiao Sword Sect ruins. That person wanted to go up Star Sword Mountain to check things out, but found they couldnât go up."
"People are coming in and out, and yet itâs unreachable?"
Wan Changqing was even more puzzled.
Whatâs going on here?
"That person wanted to follow to see what was happening, but according to what he said, he walked up the stairs for a long time and couldnât reach the mountaintop. And although he kept walking upwards, he suddenly found himself back at the foot of the mountain. Even after several attempts, it was still the same!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Qing immediately stood up revitalized and said, "Could it be that a Demon God has occupied the place?"
"I donât know, but the presence of people coming in and out suggests itâs not likely a Demon God. Itâs more like someone has settled there."
"Whoâs so bold to dare settle at the Lingxiao Sword Sect ruins?" Wan Changqing said slightly annoyed.
"Letâs go and check it out!"
Hao Qing followed and exited the hall.
Wan Changqing and others also followed and headed towards Star Sword Mountain.
When the group rode the Great Demon of the Wing Race to the outside of Star Sword Mountain, they saw people surrounding the mountain.
After the news spread quickly, many from Baiyue City had already gathered, eager to see what was really happening.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect had been gone for so many years, suddenly appearing unreachable, yet people are coming and going.
What exactly is happening here?
Wan Changqing looked at the scene below from the sky, halting those who were about to go down.
"Notice that the perception gets blocked by a force as soon as you approach the vicinity of Star Sword Mountain!"
Hao Qing nodded. "Perception canât go in at all. It looks like something is really happening inside Star Sword Mountain."
"Could it really be someone has settled here?"
"Logically, no one would dare do that."
While the group discussed, people below began to charge inward.
"Letâs go, have a look inside!"
"I refuse to believe we canât go up the mountain!"
Seven or eight people gathered and rushed directly into the steps leading up the mountain.
In an instant, everyone vanished.
Looking up from below, the steps were empty.
"Where did the people go?"
"Where are they?"
Those at the foot of Star Sword Mountain were puzzled.
After a while, the seven or eight people suddenly reappeared below the mountain, startling everyone.
These few people also startled themselves, glancing around in disbelief.
"We kept going up, how did we end up down here?"
"Yes, I kept walking upwards."
The few were completely confused.
As they invaded the sect, Wen Ping immediately sensed it.
Through the images sent by the system, Wen Ping watched these intruders with displeasure.
"Are you treating my Immortal Sect like an amusement park?"
Deciding to change the mode from Maze Array to Trapping Array, just like before, to confine those who like to randomly intrude for a few days and nights until they understand the consequences; but before he could make the change, Yang Lele was seen walking down the stairs and standing at the edge of the Maze Arrayâs boundary.
Below Star Sword Mountain, Yang Lele suddenly appeared on the stairs, immediately drawing everyoneâs attention towards him.
Facing many Mountain Suppression Realm cultivators, Yang Lele calmly and confidently glanced at them and then said unhappily, "You keep recklessly intruding into the territory of the Immortal Sect, do you dare to say you have a long life?"
"Immortal Sect?"
"Such a brat, talking so boldly."
"This is the Lingxiao Sword Sect ruins, when did it become your Immortal Sectâs domain?"
The crowd responded angrily.
Yang Lele remained unfazed and directly replied, "My Immortal Sect will stay here as it pleases, it doesnât need you to comment. Let me tell you, donât intrude anymore, if you die donât blame me."
"The brat dares to speak like that!"
The crowd immediately exploded.
About to charge in and capture Yang Lele.
After all, they were Mountain Suppression Realm cultivators, along with half-step Earth Unrestricted experts; although they were loose cultivators, their status was not low. Regardless, they couldnât tolerate a child flaunting in front of them.
In the sky, Wan Changqing watched this scene, his gaze becoming even more puzzled.
