Zhang, an old friend, met

After parting with Ye Lin back then, no news of her had ever surfaced.

Ye Lin and the others had prepared for the worst at the time, but they always felt that such a thing wouldn't happen.

Even later, when Ye Lin and the others went to search for information about Jiang Xue, they still couldn't find her whereabouts.

To think she would appear here in this manner now; it truly was fate.

No one knew what she had endured to reach her current Realm. She now possessed a cultivation at the Peak of the Body Integration Realm, identical to that of the Sect Master of Xuanzhen Pavilion, though her attainment in the Sword Dao was somewhat different.

Su Yu looked at Jiang Xue; she truly lived up to the name of the person once called the Sword Immortal by the Southern Region.

This level of Sword Dao attainment could be considered quite rare even within the Spirit Realm; perhaps in terms of actual strength, Jiang Xue might even be slightly superior.

Ling Wanqing looked at the Jiang Xue who had appeared before them. She had met this Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect a few times before, and the two had shared some conversations.

They weren't very close, but Jiang Xue had been quite dazzling during the great war back then.

Looking at her now, she had clearly experienced much to reach her current Realm.

This achievement was higher than that of the vast majority of people who had undergone Ascension.

Now, she had even become one of the founders of the Spirit Realm's Xuanzhen Pavilion.

Perhaps her fame would spread far and wide before long.

And Qi Liang, the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, would likely go to meet her.

Jiang Xue glanced at the people around her and didn't pay them much mind.

She had heard of the reputations of quite a few among them.

When she first arrived in the Spirit Realm, she encountered an accident. Originally, she felt she was powerless in that situation, but she did not fall.

Instead, she had inadvertently obtained some unexpected Opportunities.

Over these years, she had been unable to show herself for certain reasons.

Now she could finally appear, and Xuanjizi was a friend she had met previously.

He had invited her to co-found this Sect.

At first, she refused, but later she agreed due to various reasons.

Jiang Xue hadn't expected Xuanjizi's capabilities in this regard to be so astonishing.

To achieve such a level in just a short hundred years was impressive, though trouble had constantly come knocking at the beginning.

Now, in order to resolve these matters, she was constantly learning methods of handling affairs and gaining experience in Sect management from others.

The pressure was growing now, and it was the same for her.

The feeling she had experienced back at the Xuantian Sect had resurfaced.

The group entered the Sect, while some Disciples continued to watch them.

The Sect Leader of the Star Sea Sect continuously introduced various matters.

He also arranged for other Elders to receive the arriving Disciples. Xuanjizi and Jiang Xue followed him into the Sect Master's Main Hall.

During their conversation, they were introduced to several people.

For instance, since Su Yu and the other were present, they were introduced as well.

As the two had expected, Jiang Xue did not recognize them; she felt nothing out of the ordinary when she saw them.

Regarding their arrival, the two were just there to observe; there was no need for them to do anything.

The Disciples they brought could exchange pointers and compete with the Disciples of the Star Sea Sect if they were interested.

This would also benefit the growth of the Disciples on both sides.

At this moment, the Disciples of the two Sects were currently competing.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing arrived at the scene.

Seeing their arrival, various thoughts appeared in the minds of some Disciples.

The Disciples who hadn't fought yet thought that with the two of them here, they had to perform well to show off their abilities and potential.

Perhaps they might be favored and taken in as a personal Disciple.

The appearance of the two also served as an incentive to the Disciples preparing for battle to some extent.

It had the same effect on the Disciples currently in the middle of combat.

The Xuanzhen Pavilion Disciples noticed that their opponents suddenly seemed as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They were completely different from before, making the Xuanzhen Pavilion Disciples wonder to themselves if this was the strength of a great Sect like the Star Sea Sect; it truly was different.

There was a significant gap between the Disciples of the two sides; after all, the other was a Sect that had only recently been established, while their Star Sea Sect was entirely different.

This also made the Xuanzhen Pavilion Disciples realize the gap between themselves and these Sect Disciples.

The battles ended before long, and the Disciples who had finished fighting looked toward Su Yu and the other with looks of hope in their eyes.

But they were destined to have no such fate with Su Yu and Ling Wanqing.

Ling Wanqing spoke, "The abilities of the opposing Disciples are decent, considering their current Sect."

Su Yu nodded. "Indeed. That Xuanjizi does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"It's about time. Let's head back."

The two then left the area.

The Disciples watched the two depart with some disappointment in their hearts, though they had been mentally prepared for it.

These two Elders rarely came to watch battles between Disciples.

Normally, when Elders came to watch, most of them wanted to see if there were any good prospects to take as Disciples.

Although the two Elders said they wouldn't take Disciples, their arrival still made some Disciples unable to help thinking that way.

This exchange soon came to an end.

Xuanjizi and the others had now arrived at the main gate to give their final farewells.

Xuanjizi had actually gained some good information from this trip.

They now owed the Star Sea Sect a favor; the situation and Sect Leader of the Star Sea Sect were indeed as the rumors described.

With a wave of their hands, the group departed.

Xuanjizi looked back at the place they left; it really was a good place, and it had a good Sect Leader.

Perhaps they could come here more often in the future—provided that no accidents occurred, of course.

Jiang Xue hadn't really done much this time; she had just come to get to know some people.

Her name would likely become known to some people later, as their Sect was currently on the rise.

Furthermore, she had to deal with the crises that would occur later. She had already jumped onto this ship; it remained to be seen how long it could sail and how far it could go.

A period of time later, just as expected, Jiang Xue's appearance caused her fame to begin spreading in certain places.

On Han Shi's side, the four of them had gathered together to discuss this matter.

With the emergence of Jiang Xue's name, they couldn't be certain if this Jiang Xue was their former Xuantian Sect Old Ancestor.

However, this was currently the only clue they had, and according to the descriptions of others, there was a high probability that this Jiang Xue was indeed their Xuantian Sect's Old Ancestor.

Because of this, they felt they wanted to go to Xuanzhen Pavilion to meet this so-called Jiang Xue.

They then decided to set out for Xuanzhen Pavilion.
