Mu Bingmei’s words were soft, as if reminiscing about the past, carrying a hint of faint melancholy and an indescribable mood, slowly drifting past the ears of everyone in the Wuji Sect.

The woman named Wang Shanshan blinked her eyes lightly and smiled, "For someone to be praised so highly by Sister Mu, if there is a chance, this little sister truly wants to see him."

Mu Bingmei shook her head and said softly, "I fear there is no chance. Where that person went, I do not know. After we parted back then, looking back, he was already at the edge of the horizon. The possibility of him coming to the Cloud Sea Star Domain is not great."

The middle-aged man from the Wuji Sect who had asked the question earlier clearly held a very high status within the Wuji Sect; otherwise, he would not be able to sit here with the Sect Master. Upon hearing this, he said indifferently, "Listening to Fellow Daoist Mu's words, I, Zhou, am also very curious. What manner of person is he, and is he truly as Fellow Daoist Mu described? I do not know his name, and hope Fellow Daoist Mu will tell me. If I have the chance to meet him, I will not let the opportunity slip by."

These words were somewhat rude. Mu Bingmei frowned, cast a cold glance at the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou, and spoke calmly, "His name need not be told. If you meet him in this life, it may not necessarily be a blessing!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned, and shook his head, "He is merely a Cultivator at the Early Stage of shattered nirvana. I, Zhou, originally intended, if I were to meet him, to grant him a stroke of fortune because of his reputation. But since Fellow Daoist Mu has said this, then never mind!"

The Wuji Sect Master, that white-robed old man, kept his expression normal, but he was displeased in his heart. He glanced at the middle-aged man and ultimately did not say anything more.

Wang Shanshan, with her clever heart, smiled brightly and changed the subject, saying, "Sect Master, I heard earlier that Sister Li Qianmei has also come to the Wuji Sect. I wonder where she is?"

As she spoke, Wang Shanshan explained to Mu Bingmei beside her, "Sister Li is a rare, heaven-favored daughter of our Cloud Sea Star Domain. She has cultivated for a thousand years, and her cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of shattered nirvana."

Even Mu Bingmei's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Li has a past connection with our Wuji Sect's branch, the Guiyuan Sect. She is not sitting here, but has gone to where the Guiyuan Sect is located." The white-robed old man spoke calmly, though he was puzzled by this matter in his heart.

"The Guiyuan Sect? I wonder which tier of Star Domain branch it is?" Wang Shanshan was quite surprised, clearly having never heard the name of the Guiyuan Sect.

"Elder Feng, you witnessed this matter with your own eyes. Why don't you tell everyone about it here?" The Wuji Sect's white-robed old man looked at Feng Hai, who was sitting in front of the platform.

Feng Hai's expression was somewhat strange. He stood up, cupped his fists towards Wang Shanshan and Mu Bingmei, and swept his gaze over the various Fellow Daoists around him. He discovered that many were looking at him; clearly, there were quite a few among them who did not know the details of this matter and had only heard a rough account.

In fact, it was no wonder they were puzzled. Li Qianmei was illustrious, yet she actually had a past connection with a mere 5th-tier Star Domain sect, and it was certainly not a passing acquaintance, but rather one for whom she would take action and kill a 7th-tier sect's Cultivator.

With a dry cough, Feng Hai smiled bitterly, "Sect Master, I do not know the specifics either. After Fellow Daoist Li arrived, she directly stated she was looking for the 5th-tier Guiyuan Sect. At that time, Lü Yingjie of the Xianyin Sect and a certain Zhao from the Xunluan Sect were entangled with the Guiyuan Sect over some private matters. Afterward, Fellow Daoist Li took action, destroying Zhao's Physical Body, and even that Lü Yingjie nearly met with a calamity. Everything seems to be greatly connected to a person surnamed Lü from the Guiyuan Sect!"

Once these words were spoken, the people of the Wuji Sect around them became curious. Wang Shanshan laughed, "Sister Li's temperament is tranquil, and she rarely gets angry. If she took action, there must be a reason. I just don't know who this person surnamed Lü mentioned by Elder Feng is."

Feng Hai nodded and said, "This person surnamed Lü is indeed mysterious. I investigated in secret; this person is of the Grandmaster generation of the Guiyuan Sect and is even a relative of Lü Yanfei. Afterward, I went to the Dianming Pavilion to check, and there was indeed such a person in the Guiyuan Sect back then, named Lü Zihao! This person was obsessed with Alchemy his whole life. He went out to search for medicine many years ago and has been missing ever since. I do not know how he met Fellow Daoist Li, but he seems to be quite admired by her… And that Lu Yuncong whom everyone mentioned just now also seems to have a deep friendship with this person. He came forward for the Guiyuan Sect, not hesitating to offend the Xianyin Sect and the Xunluan Sect. Furthermore, hearing his words, it seems that this Lü Zihao's understanding of the Heavenly Dao is even above his, and it makes Lu Yuncong extremely respectful, faintly implying that he had received his guidance back then. This Lu Yuncong once claimed that if this Lü Zihao were to come to our Wuji Sect this time, let alone being first among the 5th-tier branches, even for the 6th-tier branches, the Guiyuan Sect could sweep them all away with just Lü Zihao alone! Killing that Lü Yingjie of the Xianyin Sect would be like crushing an ant! The reason Fellow Daoist Li did not injure that Lü Yingjie was precisely because that person did not believe these words and claimed that if Lü Zihao came, he wanted to spar with him, so Fellow Daoist Li gave him a chance."

After these words were finished, the surroundings immediately quieted down. The Cultivators who could sit here in the Wuji Sect were all people of very high status within the sect. They valued Lu Yuncong and wanted to focus on cultivating him, but upon hearing Feng Hai's words, they placed all their attention on that Lü Zihao who was admired by Lu Yuncong.

At this moment, on the platform for the Grand Competition in front, Lu Yuncong only took six steps forward, which caused the Sect Master of a certain 5th-tier branch opposite him to turn pale and retreat repeatedly, his heart trembling. The other party's footsteps seemed to step on his heartbeat; before he had even made a move, his heart and mind were already in chaos.

This scene, falling into the eyes of those in the surrounding stands, immediately made everyone's gazes grave, and discussions arose everywhere. Clearly, Lu Yuncong's footsteps were fused with his Concept; as he stood there, he seemed to have merged with Heaven and Earth.

The branch Sect Master opposite Lu Yuncong retreated with a bitter smile, cupped his fists, and said, "This old man has lost. Fellow Daoist Lu is truly worthy of being the outstanding talent of our Wuji Sect; this old man is convinced." After he finished speaking, he turned and bowed towards the stand where the Wuji Sect Master was located in the distance, and hurried down.

The 5th-tier branch Grand Competition had reached its end by this point. Because of Li Qianmei's arrival, the Guiyuan Sect had not yet appeared. But at this moment, the only 5th-tier sect that had not yet competed was the Guiyuan Sect.

A Wuji Sect Elder responsible for this 5th-tier sect Grand Competition flickered and appeared in mid-air. He looked towards where the people of the Guiyuan Sect were, and with an indifferent voice, said slowly, "Guiyuan Sect, take the stage!"

The Guiyuan Sect was still in the northern corner, and a stifling atmosphere surrounded the area. Li Qianmei was also sitting there, gazing at the sky, her expression revealing confusion and reminiscence, as if she were thinking about something.

Lü Yanfei's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip. After a long while, she stood up gently. She was the person with the highest cultivation in the Guiyuan Sect, so she had to go for this competition.

After standing up, Lü Yanfei looked at the Guiyuan Sect members looking at her one by one, among whom were her three Senior Brothers, and her Disciple.

With a light sigh, Lü Yanfei's body moved like a colorful butterfly, clouds rising beneath her feet as she drifted towards the distant Grand Competition platform.

"Master…" Sun Yun's eyes were glistening as she watched Lü Yanfei's retreating figure. She did not know what the fate of the Guiyuan Sect would be after this; perhaps, it would really be disbanded…

At this moment, the entire area around the Grand Competition platform quieted down for a moment. Most of the people here had either witnessed or heard about what happened at the Guiyuan Sect that day, and were now very expectant, wondering if that mysterious "he" of the Guiyuan Sect would appear.

Tens of thousands of gazes converged. Lü Yanfei's face was even paler, but her eyes revealed determination. Her body moved faster and faster, and after a moment, she appeared directly on the Grand Competition platform, landed slowly, and stood in front of Lu Yuncong.

Lu Yuncong's expression was complex as he looked at Lü Yanfei.

"The Guiyuan Sect does not need other competitions; just me alone will suffice." Lü Yanfei stood on the platform, gathering countless gazes from all around. Her figure was frail, but at this moment, a force was gathering within her body, supporting her so that her body did not tremble and her heart did not shake.

"He promised me he would come… he will definitely come!" Lü Yanfei bit her lower lip and looked up at the sky. Vaguely, she seemed to see a figure in the sky, revealing an encouraging smile to her.

The surroundings were completely silent. This competition of the 5th-tier branch, the Guiyuan Sect, which originally would not have received any attention, had become different at this moment because of that mysterious "he" who had already spread through word of mouth, attracting the attention of all the observing Cultivators.

Even the 6th-tier and 7th-tier branches converged their gazes here at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please offer your guidance." On the platform, Lü Yanfei's expression was determined as she bowed slightly to Lu Yuncong and said softly.

Lu Yuncong was silent. A moment later, he suddenly looked towards the stand where the Wuji Sect Master and the many Elders were located, cupped his fists, and spoke in a clear voice that, however, revealed his shattered nirvana cultivation, turning into a rumbling sound like thunder.

"Seniors of the Main Sect, this Disciple is unwilling to compete with the Guiyuan Sect. This matter, is unfair!"

On the stand where Mu Bingmei was, the white-robed old man frowned. Feng Hai, who was responsible for this Grand Competition in front of him, had an even darker expression and shouted, "What is unfair about it! Lu Yuncong, what do you mean by this!"

His voice was vast and mighty, completely overwhelming Lu Yuncong's words, as if earth-shattering.

Lu Yuncong's face was slightly pale. With his cultivation, under the shout of an Old Monster with great Divine Ability like Feng Hai, it was simply insignificant. But he took a deep breath, cupped his fists again, and said, "This Disciple knows a person from the Guiyuan Sect. This person's cultivation is profound, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao is far beyond what this Disciple can compare to. If he comes, this Disciple is not his match! If, before he arrives, this Disciple were to finalize the competition with the Guiyuan Sect, it would be unfair to the Guiyuan Sect! This Disciple, Lu Yuncong, wants to fight, and I want to fight him. I came to this platform for the Grand Competition precisely to fight him and verify my Dao fruit. To win would be a true victory; to lose, I would have no regrets!"

Once these words were spoken, the surrounding observing Cultivators were immediately in an uproar. The mysterious "he" of the Guiyuan Sect had already become the focus of everyone's discussions during these past few days, but now, following Lu Yuncong's words, the reputation of this mysterious person who had not yet arrived climbed once again, almost reaching its peak.

At this moment, almost everyone was looking forward to seeing what that mysterious "he" looked like, and what kind of Divine Ability he possessed that could make Lu Yuncong act like this, and could make Li Qianmei act like this!

"This Lu Yuncong is truly worthy of Master's praise; he is indeed an upright man." Wang Shanshan's beautiful eyes revealed an expression of interest as she looked at Lu Yuncong, who stood tall on the platform with extraordinary words!

"Lu Yuncong, Lü Yanfei, you two come forward!" The speaker was not Feng Hai, nor was it any Elder of the Wuji Sect, but the Wuji Sect Master, that white-robed old man!

He had developed a strong interest in that mysterious Lü Zihao!
