Chapter 455: Chapter 452: Hypocrite

Outside the cafeteria, Huang Tianyi gazed ahead with a sullen expression. Today’s events could only count as his bad luck. Who would have known this lad would have such significant backing? With Fei Yue’s staunch support, he had suffered a huge loss today.

"Brother Huang, are we really just going to swallow this mute loss?"

The three men with hawk noses looked somewhat unwilling toward the direction Fei Yue and Ye Xuan had left. Today, they had lost both face and soldiers, not only failing to retrieve their pride but instead being extorted for thirty thousand Spirit Crystals—a substantial loss.

"How could we just swallow it? How is that possible?"

A piercing coldness suddenly flashed in Huang Tianyi’s eyes, and the smile from before vanished instantly like smoke dissipating in the air, "This bitch Fei Yue, she really thinks I’m easy to bully. This debt, I will pay her back tenfold sooner or later."

"But dealing with Fei Yue won’t be easy. Even within our Gentleman Sect, there are few who can match this she-devil. Brother Huang, if we want to target this she-devil, we still need to plan thoroughly."

The men with hawk noses were somewhat afraid of Fei Yue, unsure whether Huang Tianyi seriously intended to take revenge or was just looking for a way to save face. Fei Yue’s strength was in the top ten among the elite disciples of the Inner Sect. Even Huang Tianyi would be no match for her, unless they sought help from higher-ups in the Gentleman Sect.

Those high-level individuals would definitely not take action lightly, especially against someone like Fei Yue.

"True, we’ll deal with that bitch Fei Yue later, but this Ye Xuan, daring to exert borrowed authority, is truly seeking death. If we don’t find an opportunity to cripple him, how can the hatred in my heart be quenched?"

Huang Tianyi had no intention of actually doing anything to Fei Yue; he was just talking tough. However, Ye Xuan was different—a mere Martial Sect, relying on his support to extort his Spirit Crystals, was like tampering with the earth on Tai Sui’s head. If he didn’t avenge this, what would prevent any Tom, Dick, or Harry from peeing on his head in the future?

"There’s no need to worry about that. This kid is merely an irritant of scabies. To deal with him, with Brother Huang’s capabilities, it should be as easy as flipping one’s hand."

The three men with hawk noses immediately beamed with malicious glee in their eyes. They dared not confront Fei Yue, but Ye Xuan was a different story. With Huang Tianyi’s strength, resolving Ye Xuan’s case was feasible, especially since Ye Xuan had broken each of their arms. If they didn’t vent this anger, the resentment in their hearts would be hard to dissipate.

"We are not allowed to kill within the Sect; we can only wait until the kid leaves the mountain."

Huang Tianyi’s desire to kill Ye Xuan was undying. Even though Fei Yue was protecting Ye Xuan, as long as he was clean in his methods, who would know? A kid with no support or background wouldn’t attract any attention if he died.

However, within the Sect, although inter-factional organizations fiercely competed, they still wouldn’t harm a person’s life. Of course, that was only within the Sect. Once outside the doors of Xuantian Sect, no one would care anymore. Attacks and killings between factions were not uncommon.

Even mighty groups like the Crown Prince Party and their own Gentleman Sect would have members die outside every year, with no trace of how they died. In fact, the reasons were all rooted in the Sect’s internal feuds, silently settled by someone.

He didn’t believe that Ye Xuan would stay holed up in the Sect forever. As soon as the latter made a move, there would be a chance for him to strike.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan and Fei Yue had returned to the Spirit Frost Pavilion. Throughout the way, Ye Xuan was reflecting on the previous battle, and then couldn’t help but glance at the silhouette of the woman in front of him. If it weren’t for her intervention earlier, he would most likely have been severely injured by Huang Tianyi, or even humiliated, with unthinkable consequences.

This gave Ye Xuan a sense of urgency.

Since his rebirth and return to cultivation, it was the first time he felt such an intense urgency, an immediate need to improve his own cultivation.

If he too reached the Martial Venerate Realm and cultivated a Martial Soul, defeating likes of Huang Tianyi would be as easy as flipping his hand.

"What? Facing a bit of hardship and you’re already discouraged?"

Noticing the gravity on Ye Xuan’s face, Fei Yue also smiled faintly and said,

"Discouraged? I wouldn’t say that, just a bit reflective."

Ye Xuan shook his head. If he were discouraged by this minor issue, there would be no need for him to stay in the Inner Sect. If he couldn’t even adapt to such minor competition, how could he return to the pinnacle of his former life?

"Reflective about what?"

Fei Yue asked curiously, looking at Ye Xuan.

"Reflective that my strength is insufficient, allowing the ants to bully me." Ye Xuan gave a self-deprecating smile and then turned to Fei Yue with a cupped fist salute, "Sister Fei Yue, I must thank you for this time. If not for your timely assistance, it’s hard to say what could have happened to me. I owe you a favor."

"Thanks for what? Since I’ve allowed you to enter the Spirit Frost Pavilion, we’re family from now on. How could I just let someone from the Gentleman Sect bully you?" Fei Yue was indifferent to Ye Xuan’s gratitude; she was known as a ’she-devil’ because she didn’t follow the rules, acting on her whims. Precisely because of this attitude, she didn’t take the Gentleman Sect seriously at all.

In fact, not only her but each of the Inner Sect Four Demons, none of them feared the Gentleman Sect.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan just smiled without a word. He knew that saying more was pointless and would only seem insincere; what he needed to do was repay the favor with actions in the future.

"Here are some Spirit Crystals for you."

Fei Yue tossed the Spirit Crystals she had extorted from Huang Tianyi to Ye Xuan and then her beautiful face grew slightly grave, "Given Huang Tianyi’s nature, he won’t let this go after suffering a loss. I’m not afraid of his revenge, but it’s different for you. It’s best you don’t give him any opportunities during this time and don’t leave the Xuantian Sect, or you might be risking your life."

Fei Yue knew Huang Tianyi’s character well; not just Huang Tianyi, but everyone in the Gentleman Sect was really brutal at heart. True gentlemen were few and far between; most were hypocrites, and often, hypocrites were far more terrifying than true scoundrels.

Ye Xuan had intended to refuse the Spirit Crystals, but after hearing Fei Yue’s words, he nodded and didn’t refuse further. He indeed needed these Spirit Crystals to speed up his cultivation and reach the level of a Seventh Grade Martial Sect sooner.

After advancing, he would leave the Xuantian Sect to find the opportunity to break through to the Martial Venerate Realm.

This was Ye Xuan’s future plan.

"In the Inner Sect, even if you don’t provoke others, they will provoke you anyway. Without strong power, it’s hard to stand firm in the Inner Sect or even live freely," Fei Yue’s grave expression eased slightly as she continued, "Before you reach the Martial Venerate Realm, it’s better to keep a low profile and bide your time to ensure your safety."

Fei Yue thought that Ye Xuan did well today, but since his strength was still shallow and he had drawn out someone like Huang Tianyi from within the Gentleman Sect, and with Huang Tianyi being just one of them, there might be stronger individuals next time. Therefore, she felt the need to warn Ye Xuan because although she could save him once, she couldn’t always arrive in time to do so.

The Gentleman Sect was massive; taking down the current Ye Xuan would be too easy.

"Thank you for the advice, Senior Sister."

Ye Xuan nodded, but his thoughts remained the same; the priority was to advance and improve his cultivation as fast as possible.

Returning to Ningshuang Pavilion, Ye Xuan immediately began his seclusion.

The cultivation technique he practiced was a Divine Level technique, immensely powerful. The humiliation he almost suffered at the hands of Huang Tianyi, a hypocrite, had also stimulated him, causing a slight loosening in his cultivation realm, which had been eager to advance.

Additionally, with those thirty thousand Spirit Crystals, he had almost enough energy needed for advancement.

Aside from this, Ye Xuan also spent a month concocting two Breaking Sect Pills for the purpose of breaking through to the Seventh Grade Martial Sect.

Initially, Little Xi had come to the Spirit Martial Continent with him, but considering various factors, Ye Xuan had Little Xi and Ling Qianxue, along with Nangong Yao, join the Snow Soul Palace as Outer Sect disciples. If Little Xi had been here, he probably wouldn’t have needed to spend time studying pill concoction.

With everything ready, Ye Xuan began his attempt to break through in cultivation.

Ten days passed.

Ye Xuan remained within the halls of Ningshuang Pavilion, and within the vast Xuantian Sect, without any acquaintances, naturally, no one came looking for him.

Another five days went by.

Inside the hall.

By this time, Ye Xuan had been in seclusion for half a month when suddenly, an incredibly wild fluctuation erupted within the hall.

The next moment, a figure appeared at the door of the hall, brushing the dust off his body; it was Ye Xuan.

The grueling month and a half of effort had not been in vain. At this moment, Ye Xuan had successfully advanced to become a Seventh Grade Martial Sect.

This breakthrough was also due to the provocation Ye Xuan received during the fight against Huang Tianyi. As a former Heavenly Realm Martial God in his previous life, Ye Xuan’s potential was immense, unpredictable to others. Undoubtedly, the stimulation from the battle with Huang Tianyi led to a brief surge in Ye Xuan, allowing him to quickly break through his cultivation level.

But morale such as this couldn’t last forever; as the saying goes, it flourishes once, fades twice, and exhausts the third time. After advancing, if Ye Xuan hoped to break through to the Martial Venerate using this momentum, it would still be insufficient.

"According to the plan, it’s time for me to descend the mountain and make a move."

Hard work is indeed the way of cultivation, but one cannot solely rely on closed-door cultivation, especially for breaking through to the Martial Venerate. Firstly, one needs to refine their True Yuan and secondly, to condense their Martial Soul. Only with both can one succeed.

To achieve a breakthrough solely through hard work is difficult; one must leave the mountain to find opportunity. On the one hand, after descending the mountain, he will temper himself, and on the other hand, condensing his Martial Soul, Ye Xuan naturally had a faster method. This method required a Supreme Grade pill called Fighting Soul Pill for assistance, and to concoct the Fighting Soul Pill, one needed a precious medicinal herb known as Soul Nesting Grass.

The Soul Nesting Grass was available in the treasure house of the Xuantian Sect, but it could only be obtained with five thousand Merit Points.

Thus, Ye Xuan’s plan to descend the mountain was imperative.
