Chapter 498 The Strangeness of the Lights

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

At the same time, two figures streaked across the sky, and the clouds were instantly split in two.

The people who arrived were none other than the Cloud Yao Saintess and the Cloud Yao Holy Master.

Both of them were quite happy to receive the news. After all, Wuming had helped them, and for the Cloud Yao Saintess, he could be considered a savior.

Now that Wuming had reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the two of them still had to come.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have come; at most, they would have sent someone representative from the Holy Land.

The Cloud Yao Saintess had indeed recovered since that time, but up to now, she always felt as if she had lost something.

Yet she felt like she hadn't. Deep down, she had a faint, ominous premonition.

Coming this time was also a good opportunity to ask Sect Master Wuming about a few things.

Ye Lin was already accustomed to such spectacles. Wuming's figure appeared beside Ye Lin.

"Carefree Saint Son, welcome, welcome. Please, come inside with me."

He was very respectful toward Ye Lin. This Ye Lin was a Tribulation Crossing Stage existence; although they were both in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it would be easy for Ye Lin to defeat him.

"I have long heard of Sect Master Wuming's recent deeds. I represent the Carefree Holy Land to congratulate Sect Master Wuming on achieving the Void Refining rank."

Wuming laughed and said, "Many thanks. The Saint Son coming is already giving me plenty of Face. I have already prepared a seat for you."

Before the two of them could enter, two figures appeared before them.

The people who arrived were none other than the Cloud Yao Holy Master and the other person.

Seeing them arrive, Wuming said, "Cloud Yao Holy Master and Saintess, you have come. It is perfect; come with me."

The Cloud Yao Holy Master looked at Wuming and said, "Congratulations, Sect Master Wuming, on your Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. These are some gifts from our Holy Land."

"You are truly too polite. The two of you coming here already gives me, Wuming, plenty of Face."

The Cloud Yao Saintess looked at Ye Lin and said, "Long time no see, Carefree Saint Son. The last time we met was when you challenged my disciple. Now you have grown to this extent."

"Not at all, I am still a Junior."

The four of them then entered.

Not everyone was qualified to have Wuming come out to greet them.

The Cloud Yao Saintess looked at Ye Lin before her. This Ye Lin was truly too unexpected; his Spiritual Root Aptitude was average, and he had no Physique.

Yet he had stepped into the Tribulation Crossing Stage so quickly; it was truly incredible.

However, it had nothing to do with her, and she had no particular feelings toward Ye Lin.

As the banquet was about to begin, most people had basically arrived.

Yue Xin and Yin Yun were both waiting for news outside.

Both of their people had already mixed in among the crowd.

As fireworks rose into the sky, the banquet began, and those who had arrived were mostly seated.

Demon Beginning sat in a pavilion, watching the situation below.

That must be Ye Lin. He is not simple. I originally thought that as long as Ye Lin came here, I would be able to see through him.

But his intuition told him that the Ye Lin before him was not simple.

At this moment, Ye Lin sensed someone looking at him. He turned his gaze and saw someone in the pavilion looking at him.

The two locked eyes.

Ye Lin looked at this person, who should be an Elder of the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard, but felt something was a bit different. However, Ye Lin did not think too much about it.

Demon Beginning saw this scene. As expected, he was different. As for the others, he could roughly gauge their depth.

He needed to plan this carefully.

The banquet continued in this manner.

Yue Xin's people were also observing intelligence on those present.

Everyone began to reveal the purpose of coming to this banquet.

At this time, Wuming was constantly receiving visits from those who arrived.

Wuming watched these people who kept visiting, the smile on his Face never disappearing, but what he was thinking inside was another matter.

Demon Beginning was just about to go down to make contact with some people, but just then, the lamp of hope within his body suddenly flared up.

A bad premonition washed over him, as if telling him not to do so.

This was the first time Demon Beginning had felt such a sensation.

The lamp of hope was telling him that doing so carried a risk.

The lamp of hope did indeed have this ability, but because it was a flickering flame, it could only trigger this function occasionally.

However, it was already very powerful.

Demon Beginning pondered something. It seems it is more troublesome than I expected.

Is this anomaly and uncertain factor you, Ye Lin?

Seeing this, Demon Beginning left the place; since his business was done, there was no need to stay here.

As time passed, the banquet ended.

Ye Lin did not linger here for too long; he still had many things to accomplish.

Afterward, the Cloud Yao Saintess found Wuming.

"Sect Master Wuming, why have I been feeling a bit off lately, but I can't quite put my finger on it?"

Wuming pretended to think for a moment. "Does it have any effect on your cultivation?"

"That is not the case; it is just a feeling in the dark."

Seeing this, Wuming said, "It might be the aftereffects of this curse. After all, what I used was a lost secret technique, and I have not fully mastered this secret technique yet."

"Is that so? Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Sect Master Wuming. We will head back now and not stay here any longer."

Yin Yun watched every move of Wuming in the image-recording stone. Was this clear tea or muddy tea?

"Sect Master, we have also gathered information on some of the others."

"Sect Master?" The crowd watched Yin Yun, who had been staring at Wuming's image.

"You may withdraw first. I understand."

Yue Xin had always felt that Wuming was too good, having no flaws, and it was precisely because of this that she had long felt that something was actually wrong.

If that were truly the case, wouldn't he be a Saint? But does such an existence as a Saint really exist in the Spirit Domain?

She also watched Wuming in the image-recording stone, wanting to see if there were any tricks.

The end of the banquet brought this matter to a close.

Everyone harbored different thoughts.

At this moment, Wuming came to Demon Beginning. "My Lord, how was it? That Ye Lin?"

"That Ye Lin is not simple. We underestimated him. He is a variable. I originally thought I had certainty, but this time, it seems I may have been wrong."

As for the matter of the lamp of hope, he naturally would not speak of it.

Upon hearing this, Wuming's expression also became somewhat unpleasant.

"Did you not say that you know the person with the Space Law, and that he is not a good person either?"

"Now it is time for him to be useful. We can make use of him to resolve the trouble of Ye Lin first. We do not necessarily have to defeat him, right?"

"I will go and make contact with the person you mentioned, and I will tell you about the subsequent matters."

"As for the others, they cannot cause too much of a variable."

"Understood, My Lord. I will go handle this matter immediately."

Wuming thought of something. "By the way, My Lord, when the time comes, can the Cloud Yao Holy Master and the other one be handed over to me to handle?"

Demon Beginning saw through Wuming's intentions. "You, a Sect Master who cultivates in the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard, your thoughts are not simple. Of course, as long as the plan succeeds, it will be fine."

A look of joy appeared on Wuming's Face, and he left.

Demon Beginning watched Wuming walk away and shook his head. Only with desires does one have the motivation to do things.

In any case, the outcome will be the same when the time comes.
