Chapter 627 I’ll Wait for You

The two returned to the Subsidiary Sect.

The people of the Subsidiary Sect had been waiting for them for a long time; when the Disciples below saw their return, they all began to cheer.

Although they couldn't see the battle in the distance clearly, they could still sense the aura of the fight.

That experience was truly unforgettable for them and ignited the fighting spirit of many Disciples.

Gao Jun came to Chu Zhen's side. "It's settled. Let's head back first before talking."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing returned to the ground below.

Everyone watched as the two appeared.

"It's a pity this time; the Demonic Path people were defeated before we could see Elder Su and the other take action."

Gao Jun approached Su Yu and Ling Wanqing and whispered, "Elder Su, did you notice anything unusual?"

"No."

"Could it be that we really overestimated the Demonic Path Cultivator this time? Forget it, let's head back to the Sect first."

The group then flew toward the Subsidiary Sect.

Meanwhile, the Disciples and Elders who stayed behind at the Subsidiary Sect had been waiting nervously for their return.

Their hearts had been in turmoil during this time.

When they saw the figures returning and the joyful expressions on their faces,

they were completely relieved, and nothing but the cheers for returning warriors greeted the group.

After Chu Zhen arranged everything, Su Yu and the others went into the Sect Hall.

Chu Zhen also felt that this matter wasn't simple; logically, the Demonic Path people shouldn't have been so reckless.

Even he had prepared for the worst, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

Gao Jun voiced all his thoughts.

Everyone was lost in thought.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing exchanged a look; those two troublesome characters had been dealt with, but in reality, everyone's situation had indeed been very dangerous.

"There's no use thinking so much; the rest of those Demonic Path people don't know the inside story either."

"Anyway, we've already opened the Teleportation Formation. We just need to send some Elders to guard it for a while, and there shouldn't be any more accidents."

"They've suffered quite a loss this time."

Hearing Su Yu's words, everyone nodded. "Yeah, that's all we can do. We don't know what those Demonic Path people are thinking either."

Chu Zhen listened and said, "Thank you, four Elders, for your help this time. If you hadn't come, we would have been in danger."

Gao Jun waved his hand. "As a Subsidiary Sect of our Star Sea Sect, this is only right. No need for thanks."

"We should be heading back now. We'll explain the situation to the Sect Master."

"Then let me see you off."

Chu Zhen then escorted the four to the Sect entrance.

The Sect Disciples all gathered to bid them farewell.

Chu Zhen watched the departing Gao Jun; he wouldn't mention Gao Jun's matter to anyone else. Since Gao Jun wanted to hide his cultivation, Chu Zhen knew how to act.

The four waved and left.

On the way back, Star Net was the first to speak. "I didn't expect you to be at the Mid-Integration Stage, Elder Gao."

"I was truly shocked at the time; I thought that Demonic Path Cultivator would escape. With your true cultivation, Elder Gao, your status in the Star Sea Sect could definitely go a step further."

Su Yu also chimed in with a few words.

Hearing this, Gao Jun couldn't help but show a look of smugness.

He had done it all for this moment; this feeling was wonderful, making all that time hiding his cultivation worth it.

"Elder Star, aren't you the same? You have the cultivation of the Body Integration Stage, yet you hid it at the Void Refinement Peak."

"That Demonic Path person didn't even have time to react; you're the real winner."

Star Net smiled. "Let's not spread this around; it's enough that the few of us know."

Gao Jun agreed, "Of course, I want to keep hiding it."

The two looked at Su Yu and Ling Wanqing. "Elder Su, Elder Ling, don't tell me you two are also hiding your cultivation? It seems like your cultivation levels haven't changed for a long time."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing looked at each other and laughed. "How could that be? You're overthinking it."

Star Net heard this and said, "You two must keep our secret, okay?"

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed."

The four returned to the Star Sea Sect.

Meanwhile, on the Demonic Path's side, seeing that everyone he had sent was dead,

he felt a surge of nameless rage with nowhere to vent.

Could the Star Sea Sect have dispatched a Mahayana Stage Old Ancestor?

That shouldn't be the case; or did some other accident occur?

Losing three Body Integration Stage cultivators this time could be considered a severe loss.

Among them was one at the Integration Late Stage.

The Star Sea Sect matter would have to be set aside for now; he had other things to deal with.

If this continued, other problems might arise.

At this moment, Su Yu and the other three had arrived at the Sect Master's place.

They explained the course of events to the Sect Master; even the Sect Leader of the Star Sea Sect was surprised that things had gone so smoothly this time.

He had even prepared to go and provide support at any moment.

Forget it, either way, it's a good thing.

"I understand. I'll send several Elders over there to reinforce the guard for a while."

"That Sect is an important part of us; we can't let anything happen to it."

"We don't understand what the Demonic Path people are thinking either. Thanks to you all this time; you can head back now."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The four then left the Sect Master's side.

As they said goodbye, Star Net spoke up, "Don't forget our agreement."

"Don't worry, we won't forget."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing then returned home.

Regarding what happened earlier, since they dealt with those Body Integration Stage Demonic Path Cultivators, that side shouldn't make any moves for a long time.

One must know that starting an open war with the Star Sea Sect would be very unwise; the Star Sea Sect's current foundation was not small.

Furthermore, no one knew what level that Boundless Sword Physique had reached.

How strong he was, as he hadn't taken action in a long time, was also a point that made people wary.

Moreover, the Star Sea Sect's network was very deep; other Sects would surely come to help when the time came.

They could only swallow their losses this time; besides, Su Yu and Ling Wanqing wouldn't let the Star Sea Sect become a battlefield.

For the two of them, this was also a common experience.

Time flew by.

The two returned to their everyday lives.

They would either wander around, visit friends within the Sect, or go to Qin Island to teach the Disciples' Cultivation.

Or they would travel to other places for a while to experience different customs.

Occasionally, they would also carry out small Sect missions and such.

During this time, they met some new people, though most were just casual acquaintances.

The two were now sitting in their courtyard.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes."

"It's about time for me to continue Cultivate; I'll see if I can break through to the next Realm this time."

"With your current Late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivation, you should break through to the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage this time."

Su Yu nodded. "It shouldn't be a problem. I'll try to catch up to you as quickly as possible."

Ling Wanqing heard this and smiled. "I'll wait for you."
