Chapter 155 - The Terrifying Truth, Victor’s Strength!
Chapter 155: The Terrifying Truth, Victor’s Strength!
However, after taking a few steps, Song Qianqian slowed down and stood still. Her large eyes stared unblinkingly at the girl behind Victor, whose appearance and temperament were no less than hers.
During the day, when she had asked Qi Kai about what had happened, Song Qianqian clearly heard Qi Kai’s explanation.
Originally, the spirit gathering realm cultivators had attacked the camp at night because of this girl. She had nothing to do with Victor, but he had made a move, risking his life.
Song Qianqian’s eyes glanced around, and no one knew what she was thinking.
“Little Brother Victor, you’re finally back.”
Qi Kai almost collapsed on the ground. He was finally relieved.
Seeing so many anxious people waiting to welcome him, Victor felt a little embarrassed.
As he had just broken through after absorbing the Void Magic Stone, his breath was a little unstable, so he meditated and regulated his breath for a longer period of time. He didn’t expect everyone to be so worried.
“Victor, where have you been for such a long time? What happened since last night?” Zhang Lingren asked.
Victor cupped his hands and said, “Master, I was careless. Because I had just broken through, my battle spiritual power was greatly consumed, thus I was delayed for a long time.”
Zhang Lingren and Victor went into the tent together.
“Victor, where are the disciples of the Bright Moon Sect who were chasing you? I heard from the mayor of Qingshan Town that some of them are in the early stage of the foundation establishment realm?”
“I killed him.”
Victor hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
Zhang Lingren was stunned. A cultivator in the early stage of the foundation establishment realm was actually killed by Victor?
He had just broken through to the foundation establishment realm not long ago. Although he was confident that he wouldn’t lose to an ordinary cultivator or even a cultivator in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
It was hard to imagine. Didn’t this mean that Victor has the strength to fight against a cultivator in the foundation establishment realm while he was in the spirit gathering realm?
Such a terrifying speed of improvement shocked Zhang Lingren for a moment. This was really beyond his comprehension. They were talking about cultivation, not martial arts.
“Master, please keep this matter a secret. Just tell the public that I have escaped.”
Victor didn’t want this matter to be spread to the ears of the other mystical realm sects and forces, especially the Deep-sea Ghost Domain. Hiding his strength was the best way. After all, a huge battle would be happening in the near future. It would be troublesome if someone targeted him.
Zhang Lingren opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he shook his head speechlessly. He was truly a monster.
“Oh right, master, about this beast tide, what’s the response from Green Dragon Mountain?”
Speaking of this matter, Zhang Lingren’s expression became serious.
“According to the news from their side, after this beast tide, they might make a move against the Deep-sea Ghost Domain…”
Zhang Lingren sighed lightly at this point. The war that would engulf the entire East continent was finally about to begin.
After the great change in the world, many mystic realm sects had appeared. This time, it was unknown how many cultivators would die in the battle. Many external sects would be destroyed as well.
Victor only responded and did not say anything. Zhang Lingren’s words did not exceed his expectations. This was probably the effect that the Deep-sea Ghost Domain wanted to create.
If the Deep-sea Ghost Domain took the initiative to attack Green Dragon Mountain, Green Dragon Mountain would have the home-ground advantage. With the help of the island protection formation, the Deep-sea Ghost Domain would definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, if they were to fight in an external location, such a situation would not occur.
..
In an open tent that was meticulously tidied up by a maid, Song Qianqian was sitting on the edge of the curtain, staring blankly at the sky outside.
“Little girl, what are you thinking about?” Zhang Lingren walked over with a smile.
“Grandmaster.” Song Qianqian panicked and hurriedly stood up to greet him as a disciple.
“Don’t tell me you’re worried about the war and thinking about how to fight back the beast tide this time,” Zhang Lingren teased.
Song Qianqian’s face turned red and she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say anything.
Seeing Song Qianqian’s reaction, Zhang Lingren smiled and said, “Some things are lost once you have missed your chance. You’re not expecting that one day he would take the initiative and say something to you, are you?”
Zhang Lingren pointed at the broken window paper, making Song Qianqian so embarrassed that she could not even raise her head.
Although there were many disciples in the Qingyun Sect, there had always been some disciples who went out to train and eventually got married to other women.
Although the Qingyun Sect did not accept female disciples, they did not prohibit their disciples from getting married and having children.
During the Heavenly Sword Mountain competition, many young women from the Illusory Sword Peak surrounded Victor and even cheered for him.
Some of them had approached him under the hint of their parents, while others approached willingly. It was normal for the elders to laugh at such a situation.
However, Song Qianqian subconsciously felt that the relationship between a man and a woman could not be forced. She had to let nature take its course.
Who knew if Junior Elder Victor had any feelings for her? If he did not, it would only be increasingly awkward.
Zhang Lingren saw through Song Qianqian’s thoughts and said, “When the time comes, everyone will be happy. However, many times when the water flows, it will be lured away before it reaches you. Don’t you remember who Victor came back with today?”
Speaking of Bai Yulan who came back with Victor, Song Qianqian’s words became sluggish, and was unable to speak.
The beast tide had passed and the Qingshan Town was safe and sound. Especially in the last few days, because of the cooperation of the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, the soldiers were mostly unharmed.
The Qingyun Sect, which was thousands of miles away, was also safe and sound. Although in terms of the strength of top-notch masters, the Qingyun Sect was inferior to Qingshan Town.
After all, Zhang Lingren, who had the highest combat strength, was not in the sect. However, after days of cultivation, the elders of the sect had already reached the 12th level of the spirit gathering realm.
The main reason was that many people were interested in befriending Victor, the legendary first-class genius. They even gifted many spiritual items for Victor’s elders to use.
Meanwhile, the highest-level fierce beast that the Qingyun Sect was facing was only at the fourth level. It could not withstand the combined attack of the elders at all.
Moreover, the Dayuan Dynasty had mobilized 60,000 troops from various military armies to surround the Qingyun Sect. The fierce beasts could not even graze the foot of the mountain.
However, apart from the Qingyun Sect and Qingshan Town, few other places that were attacked by the beast tide were barely surviving…
These days, Victor, including Zhang Lingren, Song Qianqian, and the others, all stayed in Qingshan Town under the arrangement of Qi Kai.
The first-class genius of the Green Dragon Mountain, the sect master of the Qingyun Sect, and the personal disciple of the Illusionary Sword Peak of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Any of these titles was an existence that made the locals and nobles of Qingshan Town tremble in fear.
Although countless visitors hoped to visit Victor or Zhang Lingren, due to the limitations of their identities, they couldn’t even access the door. It was already a big deal if they could meet Qi Kai.
Victor had been in the room the whole time. In order to improve his Wood Spirit Embryo, he had taken many elixirs and some impurities appeared in his spiritual power. If he didn’t take the time to refine them, it would inevitably affect his foundation.
Besides Victor, Zhang Lingren was also in closed-door cultivation. He was making final preparations for him to break through to the middle stage of the foundation establishment realm.
