Supreme Emptiness

Two days later.

A magnificent, enormous city lay like a giant beast in the wilderness, lying on the horizon.

Its size was a hundred times that of Lonely Boat City.

Within the city, ten towering mountains rose straight into the clouds like sharp swords.

That was the Green Cloud Sect.

The grand city at the foot of the mountains depended on the Green Cloud Sect for survival.

Surrounding the Green Cloud Sect were swirling clouds of spiritual energy and singing white birds, making it seem like a celestial haven.

Li Qingfeng rode on a flying bird, carrying them down to the foothills among the Nine Peaks.

This place was a grand plaza, bustling with disciples coming and going.

As the bird landed.

An Outer Sect disciple ran over to hold the bird, bowing respectfully: "Welcome back, Elder Li."

Li Qingfeng had no intention of getting off the bird.

He only waved to Jiang Fan: "I've brought you back to the sect, the rest is up to you."

"Go on."

Xu Youran looked reluctant, holding onto Jiang Fan's sleeve, unwilling to let him leave.

Li Qingfeng helplessly comforted her: "Youran, tomorrow the elders from each peak will be selecting Inner Sect disciples from the new disciples."

"He still has a chance to become an Inner Sect disciple."

On the way, Jiang Fan had already learned a lot about the sect from Li Qingfeng.

He patted her hand, then wrote: "Youran, don't worry, I will become an Inner Sect disciple."

Beside him, Zhong Qizhen sneered: "A waste with no Spirit Root, and an elder would want you?"

"Daydreaming."

Jiang Fan glanced at him, then wrote in bold strokes: "What does that make you, someone even worse than a waste?"

Zhong Qizhen was furiously vexed upon hearing these words.

He glared hatefully at Jiang Fan, wanting to tear him apart to erase this great humiliation.

At this moment.

He noticed that the Outer Sect disciple holding the reins was someone who, like Zhu Jianshen, had always been giving him offerings.

He smirked secretly, giving him a subtle look.

The disciple had listened to their conversation and immediately understood Zhong Qizhen's intention, nodding slightly without changing his expression.

When Jiang Fan jumped off the bird and Elder Li and the others flew away.

The Outer Sect disciple immediately approached eagerly, cupping his hands: "Junior Brother, I am Liu Yong, an Outer Sect disciple here at the plaza."

"By the order of Senior Sister Liu, I am here to welcome new disciples."

Liu Qingxian could not bear to come herself to serve the newcomers.

She randomly assigned a few Outer Sect disciples to do the job.

Jiang Fan understood and wrote: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Liu Yong said: "Come, I'll show you around the Green Cloud Sect and introduce you to it."

He explained everything in great detail, giving Jiang Fan a clearer understanding of the Green Cloud Sect.

The Green Cloud Sect had ten main peaks.

The main peak was Sect Master Peak, controlled by the Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect.

The other nine peaks were controlled by the nine elders.

Elder Li Qingfeng controlled Heavenly Sword Peak, where the disciples' overall strength ranked fifth in the sect, neither at the top nor the bottom.

Among the nine elders, the most powerful was the Great Elder.

His strength was close to that of the Sect Master, and the disciples he trained were exceptionally talented, almost surpassing those of the Sect Master.

Thus, the Sect Master was constantly seeking powerful disciples to reestablish the absolute prestige of Sect Master Peak.

As they talked, they arrived at a remote corner of the back mountain.

Few people came here.

"Junior Brother, there's a Spirit Pond for new disciples to bathe."

"If you're tired, you can bathe and then find a place to sit cross-legged overnight."

"Just wait for the elders to select disciples tomorrow."

Really?

Jiang Fan smelled himself.

After sitting on the bird for two days without bathing or changing clothes, he indeed had a bit of an odor.

"Thank you for your efforts, Senior Brother."

Liu Yong smiled: "It's my duty."

With that, he left.

Not far away.

He encountered the approaching Zhong Qizhen.

"Where is he?" Zhong Qizhen had just returned to Heavenly Sword Peak and hurried down the mountain.

He intended to severely deal with Jiang Fan.

For this, he brought several Outer Sect disciples with him.

No matter how strong Jiang Fan was, could two fists fight against four hands?

Liu Yong pointed inside, speaking cruelly: "Senior Brother Zhong, you brought people to teach him a lesson?"

"You underestimate me. Handling such a new disciple is a piece of cake for me."

"Don't worry, I've already made sure he's beyond redemption."

Zhong Qizhen frowned in confusion.

Liu Yong snickered, lowering his voice: "I tricked him into thinking it was a Spirit Pond for new disciples to bathe. He believed it."

"But it's a Spirit Pond exclusively for female disciples, forbidden to men!"

Zhong Qizhen snorted: "So what? At most, he'll be beaten out. That won't relieve my anger."

Liu Yong chuckled: "I haven't finished yet!"

"Do you know who's in there now?"

Zhong Qizhen kicked him: "I don't care, that's too lenient, let's go..."

Liu Yong hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! You must stop! Liu Qingxian is bathing in there."

Who?

Zhong Qizhen shivered, sucking in a cold breath: "The Sect Master's daughter?"

He couldn't offend such a person.

If he accidentally offended her while bathing, he would be immediately expelled from the sect.

He might even have his entire cultivation crippled!

He quickly realized.

If Jiang Fan offended her, he would likely be beaten to a pulp on the spot.

If he saw something he shouldn't.

Even if Liu Qingxian showed mercy, the Sect Master would not let him live to protect his daughter's honor!

Jiang Fan was truly beyond redemption!

Zhong Qizhen grabbed Liu Yong's face: "Nice, kid, you're more ruthless than me!"

"Alright, let's wait outside and see how Jiang Fan comes out."

"If he's carried out, I'll reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The Foundation Establishment Pill was a pill exclusive to the Green Cloud Sect, unavailable outside.

One pill was worth a hundred crystal stones.

It was a tremendous fortune!

Liu Yong was ecstatic: "Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you!"

The group immediately hid by the roadside, secretly waiting.

Speaking of Jiang Fan.

Following Liu Yong's instructions, he walked to the end of the path.

He saw a Spirit Pond about an acre in size.

Steam rose from the pond, shrouded in mist.

"Such rich spiritual energy." Jiang Fan silently marveled.

The spiritual energy here was almost comparable to the Spirit Pond at the City Lord Mansion.

It was hard to believe this was an ordinary pond for Outer Sect disciples to bathe in.

Without further hesitation.

He removed his clothes and slowly entered the water.

While cleansing his body, he also absorbed the spiritual energy, silently cultivating.

Suddenly.

He noticed a figure in the center of the pond through the mist.

Sitting cross-legged in the water.

Probably another new disciple, like himself?

Jiang Fan thought.

At that moment, he noticed the figure turning to look at him, so he spoke: "Sorry to disturb your cultivation."

???

This was the state of Liu Qingxian's mind at that moment.

Questions.

All questions.

She almost doubted her hearing.

Was that a man's voice?

In a Spirit Pond for female disciples?

While she was bathing and cultivating?
