Chapter Ambush

On the way to this Sect, the Sect's Elder also roughly explained some things about the Spiritual Domain to Qi Liang.

Qi Liang also learned about some of the forces in the Spiritual Domain and what level his strength was within it.

Some of the unique aspects of the Spiritual Domain truly astonished Qi Liang.

Qi Liang looked ahead, wondering when he would encounter those people again, and also Ye Lin from their Sect.

Just then, Qi Liang thought of something.

Since Ye Lin was so powerful and had been in the Spiritual Domain for some years, it was possible that Ye Lin had some renown in the Spiritual Domain.

Qi Liang then asked,

“By the way, I wanted to ask if you’ve heard of Ye Lin.”

“Ye Lin? Of course, I’ve heard of him.”

This statement surprised Qi Liang. Could it be that Ye Lin had truly achieved something significant in the Spiritual Domain?

Immediately after, the Elder said, “Ye Lin is an existence ranked high on the Heaven's Pride Ranking.”

Qi Liang was a bit confused, “Heaven's Pride Ranking?”

“You're new, so you don’t know about the Heaven's Pride Ranking. The Heaven's Pride Ranking is a list comprised of the thirty strongest Prodigies in the Spiritual Domain.”

“Those who can make it onto the Heaven's Pride Ranking are all top Geniuses in the Spiritual Domain.”

“And this Ye Lin is one of the top few on the Heaven's Pride Ranking.”

“It is said that this Ye Lin joined a Holy Land midway, but the talent and combat power he displayed were astonishing.”

“He ascended the Heaven's Pride Ranking in a short amount of time, thus gaining the attention of the Holy Land.”

“It is rumored that the Holy Land intends to cultivate Ye Lin as a Saint.”

Hearing this, Qi Liang was somewhat shocked. Although it was possible it was someone with the same name, his intuition told him it was Ye Lin from their Xuan Tian Sect.

During their recent conversation, Qi Liang also learned what kind of existence a Holy Land was.

They were truly hegemonic-level. If they casually sent a stronger Elder to their Southern Domain, it would be a devastating blow.

Their Xuan Tian Sect, which claimed to be the number one Sect in the Southern Domain, was merely a slightly larger ant in their eyes.

He never expected Ye Lin to even have a chance to become a Saint in a Holy Land.

Qi Liang asked, “Do you know what kind of Spiritual Root this Ye Lin has?”

The Elder scratched his head, “I haven’t heard anyone mention that.”

“But it seems he isn't the owner of any special Physique.”

Hearing this, Qi Liang had already made his own judgment.

Next, if the opportunity arises, he would try to meet him.

The others who came to the Spiritual Domain should also have received this news.

He wondered how they were doing and if they had gathered together.

And so, Qi Liang's story in the Spiritual Domain began.

Su Yu watched as Qi Liang joined a decent Sect, one whose strength was not inferior to their Star Sea Sect.

Another person from the Southern Domain had arrived in the Spiritual Domain.

Su Yu estimated that it wouldn't be long before Han Shi and the others would also choose to come to the Spiritual Domain.

Su Yu finished watching these things as usual.

Ling Wanqing was currently tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Occasionally, she would also feed the spiritual fish by the pond.

At this moment, someone was flying towards them at high speed.

Su Yu put down his teacup, and Ling Wanqing also stopped what she was doing.

It seemed someone was coming to find them for something.

Not long after, the Disciple arrived.

“Elder Su, Elder Ling, this Disciple has something to report.”

“Come in.”

“Elder Su, Elder Ling, this Disciple's name is Gao Yuan.”

“I'm here to inform the Elders of some news. A Sect is seeking assistance from our Sect.”

“They are currently short-handed, seemingly because some treasure has appeared.”

“They will also give us corresponding compensation. We only need to help guard it. I wonder if the two Elders are willing to go and help? The compensation there is not low.”

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing both rejected the Disciple's proposal.

Although there was compensation, it held little attraction for the two of them.

Moreover, such matters were not as simple as they seemed.

“Is that so? What a pity. This Disciple will take his leave then.”

The departing Disciple's expression was a bit grim. He didn't expect them to not fall for it.

He had gone through great lengths to infiltrate the Star Sea Sect.

It seemed these Elders of the Dao of the Zither were not so easily deceived.

It was a trap, and if he could lure an Elder over, there would be unexpected benefits.

But currently, only two Elders were willing to go.

Thinking of this, his expression became somewhat grim. He originally thought these two Elders would be easy to talk to and there might be a chance, but it seemed he had overthought things.

However, he couldn't force others; he didn't have that ability.

Never mind, he would continue to look for other Elders to go.

Anyway, no one knew about this matter, so as long as he wasn't exposed, there was no risk.

Su Yu watched the departing Disciple and smiled. He was still too young.

Time passed.

The day the Disciple mentioned soon arrived. Early that morning, Su Yu and Ling Wanqing prepared to go to the Elders' meeting place.

By this time, many Elders had already gathered here. Basically, everyone who didn't have important matters to attend to was present.

At this moment, the Sect Master also appeared before everyone.

After most people had arrived, the Sect Master said, “Everyone, I believe you already know about that matter, which is why you are here.”

“So, I won't say much more here. Everyone, without further ado, let us depart for that place.”

“This time, we must catch them off guard.”

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing followed the crowd, flying towards a certain direction.

Their actions this time couldn't be too ostentatious.

About half of the usable personnel within the Sect had been dispatched this time, as this was not a small battle.

If Su Yu and Ling Wanqing had other commitments, they could have refused.

However, Su Yu and Ling Wanqing had not made many contributions previously, so this was an opportunity to contribute.

Moreover, there was basically not much danger, as they were the ones setting the ambush.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing flew through the air with the main force. Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and said, “Let’s not get separated later; we can look out for each other.”

Su Yu nodded.

Not long after, they were about to reach their destination.

At this moment, the Sect Master said, “Let’s set up an ambush here. We will appear when the time is right.”

With that, for safety, he even set up a concealed Formation.

Su Yu watched this scene; everything was ready, just waiting for those people to take the bait.

And those unaware individuals were currently heading this way.

People of the Demonic Path began to set up some Formations and killing moves nearby.

Everyone on Su Yu's side watched this scene—they had arrived. Now they just waited for the bait to come in.

Gao Yuan also brought some people here at this time.

In the end, he had successfully persuaded several Elders to come. His reward this time would be considerable. Gao Yuan felt a surge of excitement at this thought.

Not just Gao Yuan and his group, but other Sects also had various Elders arriving.

Su Yu had another reason for coming here; this so-called treasure actually had some significance.
