Chapter 134: A Temporary End

At this moment, their thoughts were complicated…

They did not know whether it was envy or jealousy, nor whether they should feel fear or terror…

The person with the most complicated feelings among them was Li Dong; he never even dreamed…

that shortly before, he had been mocking, hoping to sow discord between Xiao Fan and Jiang Yushan.

He even wanted Xiao Fan to become the laughingstock of everyone…

How ridiculous that idea was.

He simply closed his eyes… how did he end up becoming a laughingstock?

He had become the most sought-after prize in the history of Wuhuang Province…

"Alright, you may all withdraw."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian said in a deep voice and waved his hand, dispelling the light barrier outside the great hall.

Everyone acknowledged the order in unison, then cupped their hands and bowed…

They left with pale faces and staggering steps. Xiao Fan did not know how much fear and torture they had endured under the warning of Sect Master Xu Yongnian earlier.

Xiao Fan did not leave, or rather, he did not dare to leave…

because the gazes of Sect Master Xu Yongnian, He Yutang, and Jiang Yushan were fixed on him.

Even the two Elders outside the Scripture Pavilion had not left, and their gazes were also on him.

After these two old men arrived earlier, they had not spoken a word… they had just been silently watching the show.

After all, the Scripture Pavilion was different from the others; it did not accept Disciples.

And even if they wanted to accept one…

they would not be able to snatch one away from that group.

Among them, Elder He sighed endlessly, and with a somewhat smug look in his eyes, he glanced at the other Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion Elder beside him.

That look seemed to say: 'See? I told you this kid was not simple. I pulled strings for him, wasn't I right?'

A Genius who has undergone Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed will surely become a prominent figure who shakes the region once he grows up.

Perhaps the entire Wuhuang Province will be shaken…

Perhaps the opportunity for the Jixian Sect to surpass the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and once again become the number one power in Wuhuang Province has arrived…

"Xiao Fan, you should go back first. Do not speak of today's matter to anyone outside…" Sect Master Xu Yongnian paused, then resumed his previous benevolent appearance and smiled, "This is also for your own good."

"What you have undergone Awakening for is the Enlightenment Seed. Perhaps you do not realize how precious it is, but… if it leaks out, you will be in great danger."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian emphasized the word "danger."

Xiao Fan nodded. From the expressions and states of this group of people just now, he understood exactly how precious this Enlightenment Seed was.

"This Disciple understands."

Xiao Fan respectfully cupped his hands and bowed…

Then he respectfully bowed to Jiang Yushan, He Yutang, Elder Shi Ji, Elder Cao Mu, and the two Elders from the Treasure Pavilion…

before turning and leaving the great hall.

He never dreamed that he would cause such a huge stir…

"It is good that the secret of the star chart was not leaked…" Xiao Fan muttered silently to himself, letting out a sigh of relief.

If the secret of the star chart were leaked, he would most likely be finished.

"Enlightenment Seed…" Xiao Fan murmured, not knowing what this Enlightenment Seed was.

He planned to look for ancient texts later to research what this Enlightenment Seed was.

The great hall suddenly fell silent.

Many Disciples left the venue, and Xiao Fan also left.

At this moment, only a group of Outer Sect Elders and Sect Master Xu Yongnian remained.

No one could have imagined that a Genius Disciple who had undergone Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed would appear in the Outer Sect…

The appearance of such a Disciple is destined to shake Wuhuang Province!

Jiang Yushan's expression was somewhat ugly at this moment, and he glared fiercely at He Yutang, Elder Cao Mu, and Elder Shi Ji.

"Xiao Fan only underwent Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed after listening to my lecture. You people are truly shameless to try and snatch him away. He is clearly a prodigy of my Alchemy lineage!"

Jiang Yushan was quite furious about this matter.

When Xiao Fan was there earlier, he was still restraining himself, but now that the person had left, he did not care as much.

"Just because he underwent Awakening during your lecture, he belongs to you? You are so shameless…" Elder Shi Ji glanced at him, said unhappily, and then flashed away as a stream of light, leaving as well.

He Yutang did not speak, his expression full of regret.

Elder Cao Mu's expression was complicated, and he could not describe the feeling…

Sect Master Xu Yongnian sighed and wanted to persuade them of something, but after thinking about it, he decided against it…

The two old men from the Scripture Pavilion looked at each other and smiled faintly.

"Hehe… let us go."

This matter had temporarily come to an end for now…

And on the other side, at the place where the Ancestor of Jixian Sect was in seclusion…
