Chapter 1200: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Li Qianmei

Lü Yingjie's expression was slightly grim as he stared at Lu Yuncong. He still remembered that a thousand years ago, it was this very person who, after leading the Fifth Stage Star Domain's Zidao Sect to become the number one sub-sect in the Fifth Stage Star Domain, wished to challenge the number one sub-sect of the Sixth Stage Star Domain, Xianyin Gate.

Although the challenge ultimately failed, it was a humiliation for Xianyin Gate. This person used the battle against Xianyin Gate to make the Zidao Sect famous, and made his name, Lu Yuncong, greatly renowned throughout the entire Cloud Sea!

Furthermore, at this Grand Competition Ceremony of the Wuji Sect, Lu Yuncong came with a formidable momentum, even stronger than he was a thousand years ago. He would probably still choose to challenge their Xianyin Gate in the end!

If a Fifth Stage sect were to challenge them twice in a row, Xianyin Gate would lose all face. Winning would be taken for granted, and even a slight disadvantage, even if they still won, would lead to secret ridicule.

“Lu Yuncong, anyone can be sharp-tongued. I just don't know how this non-existent Brother Lü you speak of can kill me like an ant!” Lü Yingjie's expression gradually became calm. He was a gloomy person who did not show his emotions, yet within a few breaths, he had silently suppressed his earlier anger.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuncong's eyes as he looked at Lü Yingjie. He naturally knew this person's temperament, but the more he saw it, the more he felt aversion and dislike in his heart.

“If he can come, you will naturally have the chance to find out!” Lu Yuncong's voice was cold. Besides the sub-sect Grand Competition, the most important reason for his visit to the Wuji Sect this time was to see Wang Lin again.

Therefore, he paid extreme attention to the Guiyuan Sect.

But just as Lu Yuncong's words fell, a strange, sarcastic voice, as if blown through clenched teeth, suddenly echoed from all around.

“I am also looking forward to this person surnamed Lü you speak of, Lu Yuncong.”

As soon as this voice arrived, Lu Yuncong's expression immediately changed. Not only him, but all the Guiyuan Sect Cultivators, including Lü Yanfei, also showed a change in their expressions.

The voice seemed weak and powerless, but the moment it arrived, it stirred everyone's Primordial Spirits, causing violent fluctuations with the rise and fall of the voice.

If one's cultivation was insufficient, they would even turn pale and their Primordial Spirit would become chaotic, immediately suffering internal injuries under this voice!

Only Lü Yingjie's expression remained normal, a flash of surprise and delight in his eyes. He turned around, looked behind him, and respectfully clasped his hands, saying, “Greetings, Senior Zhao.”

In the Void Realm behind Lü Yingjie, the space was currently distorted. As ripples reverberated, a person gradually walked out. This person was a middle-aged man, most noticeable for his hooked nose, thin lips, and sinister gaze, which made him appear extremely harsh.

Lu Yuncong's expression changed. After a long while, he clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, “I, Lu, greet Senior Zhao of the Seventh Stage Xunluan Sect.” His words pointed out the identity of this harsh-looking middle-aged man, which was to remind Lü Yanfei and the others.

A hint of bitterness appeared on Lü Yanfei's face, and she, along with the other Guiyuan Sect Cultivators, quickly and respectfully greeted him.

The appearance of this person seemed to instantly make the surroundings turn cold. Onlookers quickly retreated, and some simply left immediately, keeping far away from here. The matter that had originally revolved around the Guiyuan Sect seemed to be slowly changing, becoming a matter involving the Zidao Sect, Xianyin Gate, and Xunluan Sect.

The focus of their confrontation was the mysterious person surnamed Lü, who seemed to be non-existent in Lu Yuncong's words.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao walked up to Lü Yingjie and nodded slightly at him. Lü Yingjie's expression became even more respectful.

“Since others have said that this person surnamed Lü can kill you like crushing an ant, then just accept it. I, Zhao, also want to know whether this mysterious person surnamed Lü is real or fake.” The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao spoke slowly, his voice as effeminate as ever.

Lü Yingjie smiled and nodded, saying, “Since that's the case, I will see what Divine Abilities this mysterious person surnamed Lü possesses. However, if this person is truly non-existent, or if he appears and is not as Fellow Daoist Lu said, then what should be done? I ask Senior Zhao for guidance.”

“If that is the case, I, Zhao, will naturally bear witness. This matter can be big or small; how can it be treated as child's play with empty words!” The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao's expression remained normal as he stared at Lu Yuncong and said sinisterly.

Lu Yuncong's expression was grim, and he remained silent for a long time. Although the Seventh Stage Xunluan Sect was not the strongest of the Seventh Stage sub-sects, this Zhao Long was an Outer Affairs Elder of the Xunluan Sect and had a very close private relationship with Xianyin Gate. If he stepped forward, he could make a big deal out of such words.

Lü Yanfei bit her lower lip. She saw Lu Yuncong's difficulty and softly said, “This matter has no connection with Fellow Daoist Lu. It is an internal matter of my Guiyuan Sect. If…”

Before Lü Yanfei could finish speaking, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao's eyes flashed with a cold light as he coldly swept his gaze over Lü Yanfei. Under this gaze, it was as if two substantial sword lights burst forth, directly landing in Lü Yanfei's eyes.

Lü Yanfei felt her whole body shake, her Primordial Spirit roared, and her body uncontrollably retreated several feet. Her face was pale, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and her entire being instantly became weak.

“You, a mere child, have no right to speak here!”

The surroundings instantly fell silent. The Guiyuan Sect Cultivators all showed angry expressions, but they dared not utter a single word, only able to swallow this humiliation, turning it into bitter resentment that permeated their entire bodies.

“If Brother Lü does not come, or if it is not as simple as I, Lu, said, killing Lü Yingjie like an ant, then I, Lu, will naturally give Senior Zhao an explanation!” Lu Yuncong remained silent for a moment, staring at Zhao Long, and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Long's face revealed a grim smile, his laughter extremely harsh. He said nothing more and turned to leave. Lü Yingjie, beside him, gave Lü Yanfei an apologetic smile, not even looking at Lu Yuncong, and followed Zhao Long, preparing to leave.

The place where they stood, compared to the vast platform and crowd around them, was merely a drop in the ocean. Just then, a white long rainbow suddenly whistled closer to the Cultivation Planet where the Wuji Sect's various stage sub-sect Grand Competition platforms were located. This white rainbow pierced the sky, emitting rumbling sounds of tearing through the air. Before it even arrived, it immediately attracted the attention of all the Cultivators around the Grand Competition platform on this Cultivation Planet.

A nirvana shattering aura suddenly emanated from within the white light, enveloping the surroundings. Immediately, several figures from the Wuji Sect on this Cultivation Planet flashed out to greet it.

After the white light approached, its speed was not fast, allowing all the Cultivators who focused their gaze to clearly see a female figure within it. They also clearly saw that extremely unique blue hair, which only one person in the entire Cloud Sea possessed!

Li Qianmei!

Ninth Stage Potian Sect!

A sudden uproar erupted between heaven and earth. At this moment, almost all of the more than one hundred thousand Cultivators present recognized the identity of this blue-haired woman at a glance!

“It's actually Li Qianmei of the Potian Sect! I didn't expect her to come and observe the Wuji Sect's sub-sect Grand Competition this time!”

“It is said that this woman is currently fighting against the beast tide in the Demon Sect. Yet, she has left the battlefield and come here!”

“Rumor has it that during the beast tide war, any participating Cultivator is strictly forbidden from leaving. How could Li Qianmei have obtained the Demon Sect's permission to come to the Wuji Sect!”

The discussions immediately caused a huge stir with Li Qianmei's appearance. Even the ongoing battle between two Fourth Stage sects on the platform could not attract anyone's attention.

Lü Yingjie naturally also saw Li Qianmei high in the sky, a trace of fanaticism and surprise flashing in his eyes. He knew Li Qianmei; she had once asked him three questions.

Zhao Long, beside Lü Yingjie, also had a solemn expression. He was quite respectful towards Li Qianmei from the Ninth Stage Potian Sect. Both her cultivation and her sect were far beyond anything he could compare to.

The person responsible for today's Wuji Sect sub-sect Grand Competition Ceremony was an old man named Feng Hai. Along with him were six Wuji Sect Elders. The moment they sensed Li Qianmei's arrival, the four of them immediately flew out, followed by more than ten Wuji Sect Disciples. Further behind, hundreds of Wuji Sect members responsible for this Grand Competition also flew out.

A grand procession, welcoming Li Qianmei's arrival.

“It is truly an honor for my Wuji Sect that Fellow Daoist Li can come. I am Feng Hai, and I greet Fellow Daoist Li.” Feng Hai laughed heartily, his demeanor quite enthusiastic, as he clasped his hands from afar.

The six Elders behind him also smiled and clasped their hands in greeting. The remaining Disciples were even more respectful, and many of them looked at Li Qianmei with admiration and awe.

Besides these people, at this moment, more than ten long rainbows whistled from afar on this Cultivation Planet. These were other core members of the Wuji Sect, rushing over, showing the importance they placed on Li Qianmei.

“Fellow Daoist Li must have just returned from the beast tide battlefield. Please come with this old man to my Wuji Sect mountain gate for a brief rest. I presume the Sect Master has also been informed of your arrival. This is a great honor for my Wuji Sect.” Feng Hai's laughter echoed as he clasped his hands.

Despite becoming the focus of everyone's attention, Li Qianmei's expression remained serene. She did not recklessly spread her Divine Sense to search on her own but instead scanned the dense crowd below, finally landing her gaze on Feng Hai, and softly said, “There's no rush for rest, Fellow Daoist Feng. For your sect's sub-sect Grand Competition this time, has the Guiyuan Sect from the Fifth Stage Star Domain arrived?”

“Guiyuan Sect?” Feng Hai was startled. A Disciple immediately flew to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

“The Guiyuan Sect has indeed arrived.” Feng Hai said with a smile after hearing this, but a doubt arose in his heart, wondering if this small Guiyuan Sect had some connection with Li Qianmei.

Li Qianmei suppressed her thoughts and urgently said, “Where are they?”

Feng Hai's confusion deepened, but his expression revealed nothing. He looked at the Disciple who had spoken in his ear earlier. This person was a young man, who quickly and respectfully said, “On the northern edge of the platform…”

As soon as he said this, Li Qianmei's Divine Sense had already spread out, instantly enveloping the entire northern area. In a flash, she found the location of the Guiyuan Sect members, which was truly insignificant compared to the entire platform.

But after Li Qianmei found the Guiyuan Sect, her body shot forward like lightning, flying straight towards that location!
