Outside the Profound Sky Wall.
Ren Shuâan casually chatted with a young man in black clothes standing beside him.
The young man in black, who was Chen Zong, candidly said, âAlthough the sect didnât pursue the matter, no matter what, Ren Chaoli is your eldest brother. Committing such a deed is almost tantamount to betraying the sect, and it will more or less affect your future, even possibly affecting whether you can advance to become an elite disciple.â
According to the rules of the Green Flame Palace, the most severe are the punishments for betraying the sect and the human race.
Ren Shuâan said with a smile, âI believe the senior officials of the sect are discerning and will not implicate me without reason.â
Chen Zong shook his head, âThe senior officials of the sect will certainly be discerning, but not all the elders responsible for the advancement of elite disciples are so easy to talk to. However, if Elder Brother Liu intervenes, those elders would probably give him some face.â
Ren Shuâanâs smile gradually faded, and then he knitted his brows slightly and gave Chen Zong a cold glance.
Chen Zong remained silent with a smile, looking lightly at Ren Shuâan, waiting for his decision.
After a moment of silence that lasted for a dozen breaths, Ren Shuâan retracted his cold demeanor and quietly uttered a sentence.
âLu Yun saved my life.â
Chen Zong shook his head and smiled, âI just wanted to know some information about Lu Yun, I didnât ask you to betray him.â
Ren Shuâan spoke coldly, âDonât think I donât know what youâre scheming. Lu Yun has obtained the investorâs slot from Steward Huang of the Countless Treasure Tower. If I leak his information, he will definitely become the target of your designs.â
Chen Zong nodded lightly without retort.
âRen brother, you must realize that youâre not the only one who came back alive from the Longwu Continent. I just need to slightly promise some conditions, and surely someone would be willing to speak up. I chose you because you need my help, you need Elder Brother Liuâs help.â
âHmph.â Ren Shuâan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
âAlright, Ren brother, you win,â Chen Zong sighed lightly, stopping Ren Shuâan. âRen brother, I just need to know what level Lu Yunâs strength is approximately at, thatâs all.â
Ren Shuâanâs body paused slightly, his face revealing a struggle.
After a lengthy hesitation, a flicker of resolve shone in his eyes. âI can tell you, but you must promise not to disclose that the information came from me to anyone else.â
Chen Zongâs face showed a satisfied smile. âOf course.â
âNot weaker than the first level of the Unity Realm. I am not very clear about the exact extent of his strength, but it should not exceed the second level of the Unity Realm.â
Subsequently, Ren Shuâan added, âI hope you will keep your promise; otherwise, even if Liu Yeqing shelters you, I will not let you off.â
âHaha, I believe Ren brother has that ability.â
Chen Zong, having obtained the information, left contentedly, ignoring the final threat left by Ren Shuâan.
âLiu Yeqing, I hope you wonât disappoint me!â Ren Shuâanâs brow-flash a strange and eerie light.
Then, a sneer crept over his face, filled with intense self-confidence.
âHmph, Iâll ascend to become an elite disciple, even a core disciple, by my own strength. Could it be that the elders responsible for the promotion of elite disciples can stop a genius advancing from the ten levels of the Heavenly Human Realm to the Unity Realm?â
After a long while, Ren Shuâan slightly looked up, gazing at the endless Milky Way and sighed softly.
He knew that his former self, once sheltered by his elder brother, no longer existed; from now on, everything depended on himself.
The carefree days of cultivation were gone forever.
The only ties had been completely severed.
From this moment on, he was a lone wanderer.
Bearing the unfulfilled wishes of his brother, he would strengthen himself by any means necessary.
Ren Shuâan shook his head, feeling some solitude and loneliness, and also a great pressure.
Among the official disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage of Qinghuo Palace, Lu Yunâs talent and strength nearly surpassed everyone elseâs, except for that one genius who was accepted by the World Master immediately upon entry.
Ren Shuâan gazed far ahead.
There, in the Tai Yuan mountain range, was the hall of elite disciples, where each elite disciple had a separate palace.
One of the palaces was a place he used to visit frequently.
But since he returned from the Longwu Continent, he had not been there again.
It was not that he didnât want to, but he couldnât.
That palace, I will take it back sooner or later.
Definitely!
Within three years, I will reach the ten levels of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Within five years, I will ascend to the Unity Realm, become an elite disciple, and take back that palace.
Ren Shuâan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his fighting spirit burning.
âLu Yun, Jin Jikang, the two of you wait; I will catch up sooner or later.â
âBy then, Iâll make you pay for your sins!â
â¦@@novelbin@@
Half a month later.
Inside the cultivation room, Lu Yun relaxedly checked his renewed stat panel.
