Chapter 24: Arrangements

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The group rushed back to the Heaven Demon Sect as quickly as possible.

From afar, they saw an extremely dignified old man with white hair and beard kowtowing incessantly in the illusion formation.

“Dad! Mom! I’m a useless disappointment! I’ve cultivated for more than 500 years, but I’m only at the third level of the Shattering Void Realm. I’ve embarrassed you two. Even Yang Renjie from the Reliance Sect next door is at fifth level of the Shattering Void Realm. Wuwuwu…”

Seeing this, everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

“Is that the Grand Elder?”

“It’s the Grand Elder. Yang Renjie is the Grand Elder of the Reliance Sect. Only the Grand Elder dares to refer to the Grand Elder of the Reliance Sect by his actual name.”

“This array formation is really too ruthless. Even a Shattering Void Realm expert like the Grand Elder is trapped inside. I don’t even dare to imagine what would happen to us if we were trapped inside instead.”

Lu Xiaoran slapped his forehead.

“Stop talking. I’ll go and undo the array formation now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and undid the array formation.

The Grand Elder who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and wailing immediately stopped and turned to look at everyone.

At this moment, the air fell into a deathly silence.

A moment later, he slowly got up and casually patted the dust on his knees.

Then, he said, “Did… did you guys hear what I just said?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“No, no, we just arrived.”

The Grand Elder snorted.

“What are you pretending for? I’m not stupid!”

Everyone looked at each other.

Then, the Grand Elder continued, “I don’t care if you heard it or not. If word gets out about what happened today, I can guarantee that everyone here will wish they were dead.”

Everyone immediately felt their necks turn cold.

They immediately stood up and shouted in unison, “Please don’t worry, Grand Elder. We definitely won’t tell anyone.”

“Good.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Elder placed his hands behind his back and stomped his foot, causing his figure to instantly vanish on the spot.

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief. They used their sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads.

Lu Xiaoran did not dare to delay and continued to rush to the second layer of the array formation.

The second layer of the array formation was an attack array. Sitting inside was the Heaven Demon Sect’s sect master. He had already opened his spirit energy protective barrier to resist the attack of the attack array.

His clothes were already tattered in many places, and there were even bruises in some places. Clearly, he had also suffered a lot.

Lu Xiaoran hurriedly retracted the array formation.

The sect master, who was on guard, immediately heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

“Good lord, you’re finally back.”

Lu Xiaoran cupped his hands and said, “Sect Master, this was my fault.”

“We’ll discuss this later. I’ll go back to the hall to change first. After you save the First Elder, immediately rush to the sect hall with Li Daoran.”

“Yes.”

As he spoke, the sect master also quickly returned to the sect. Lu Xiaoran quickly arrived at the third layer of the array formation. The First Elder, Elder Huang, and the other disciples were trapped here.

Lu Xiaoran made a hand seal and quickly dispelled the power of the array formation. Finally, everyone could breathe and regain their freedom.

“Heavens, I’m finally fine. My bones feel so stiff.”

The First Elder stretched his body, and Lu Xiaoran went forward to apologize.

“Elder Huang, First Elder, I’m sorry. I was careless.”

“Good brat, you’re the one who set up the array. You ruined my blind date. I’ll fight you to the death.”

Elder Huang was so furious that he raised his fist and was about to step forward to beat Lu Xiaoran up when he was stopped by the First Elder.

“Stop, Huang. This matter needs to be judged by the sect master. You can’t punish him in private!”

Huang was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He still had to listen to the First Elder.

Therefore, he could only retract his fist and glare fiercely at Lu Xiaoran.

“Consider yourself lucky. Hmph! I’ll go to the sect master now and get him to punish you. You won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Elder Huang turned around and left.

The First Elder looked at Lu Xiaoran meaningfully and said, “You and Li Daoran, come with me to the hall.”

“Yes. However, I just accepted a new disciple and want to send him back to Zhishui Peak before heading to the hall.”

“Then come back quickly.”

“Thank you, First Elder.”

Lu Xiaoran cupped his hands in thanks and said to Fang Tianyuan, “Tianyuan, quickly follow me to Zhishui Peak.”

“Understood.”

The master and disciple quickly returned to Zhishui Peak. Yun Lige was probably cultivating, and Ji Wuxia was recording some notes.

“Greetings, Master.”

Seeing Lu Xiaoran arrive, Ji Wuxia immediately went forward and bowed with cupped hands.

Lu Xiaoran raised his hand slightly and helped Ji Wuxia up with his spirit energy.

“It’s good that you’re here. Tianyuan, this is your Second Senior Sister, Ji Wuxia. Wuxia, this is the disciple I just took in. His name is Fang Tianyuan and he can be considered your junior brother.”

“So it’s Junior Brother Tianyuan.”

“Junior Brother greets Senior Sister Wuxia.”

The two of them greeted each other and Lu Xiaoran continued, “To cut the long story short, I might suffer a lot of punishment this time. It’s even very likely that I’ll be imprisoned in the forbidden area in the back of the mountain to reflect on my actions. I’m afraid it’ll be a while before I can return. If you need me, you can go to the back mountain of the sect to find me. Otherwise, you have to strictly abide by my teachings and don’t casually leave Zhishui Peak.”

The two of them could not help but be shocked.

“Master, is it that serious?”

Lu Xiaoran smiled bitterly.

“After causing such a huge commotion, I don’t think they’ll let me off. I was the one who was mainly in charge of repairing the array formation. After finishing the repairs, I didn’t report directly and instead neglected my duty and went off to the Acacia Faction, causing the top brass of the sect to lose face. No matter how you look at it, I’ll definitely get punished.”

Of course, in terms of cultivation, he was definitely not afraid of the sect master or even the Grand Elder. In fact, even if the two of them attacked him together, he would still not be afraid.

However, Lu Xiaoran did not want to casually reveal his strength. If news of him becoming a Shattering Void Realm expert in a short ten years spread, who knew how many people would covet him?

As the saying went, hunters will shoot the bird that sticks out.

Therefore, in order to continue living like before in the Heaven Demon Sect, he decided to not keep his true strength hidden for now.

As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran raised his hand and tapped the space between Fang Tianyuan’s brows, transmitting the Indestructible Golden Body to him.

“Tianyuan, I’m afraid that if I enter seclusion, I won’t be able to give you the cultivation technique in time and delay your cultivation. Therefore, I’ll pass the cultivation technique to you first. You have to cultivate diligently and not slack off.”

“Yes! I understand.”

Fang Tianyuan answered casually but did not look at the information of this cultivation technique.

As the heir of the Ancient Ape Tribe, he was used to cultivating the best cultivation technique of the Ancient Ape Tribe. It was a peerless cultivation technique that was above the top-grade Heaven Realm and was almost at the quasi Saint Realm. It was extremely rare, so how could the cultivation technique Lu Xiaoran gave him compare to it?
