Chapter 367: Chapter 365: Turmoil Within the Celestial Profound Sect, Return to Cloud Leaf City After Advancement, Does Jiang Qingge Have Something to Say?

Eastern Territory.

At this moment, the Eastern Territory was also showing signs of undercurrents, with various pieces of information spreading around.

After all, about ten days ago, the second place on the East Cang List changed hands, and the news that a Mortal Realm Grandmaster pursued them is no longer a secret.

But in the past few days, it was the mysterious disappearance of the Fire Refining Elder.

And there were constant rumors that the Celestial Profound Deputy Sect Leader seemed to have returned to the Celestial Profound Sect severely injured.

These reports immediately sparked the curiosity of countless cultivators in the Eastern Territory.

At this moment, within the Celestial Profound Sect.

The atmosphere in the great hall was somewhat peculiar, with two people seated inside.

In the Celestial Profound Sect, which appeared powerful to outsiders in the Eastern Territory, it wasn’t as united as it seemed.

It was divided into two factions: the Sect Leader and the Great Elder.

Ren Congzhou, as the Deputy Sect Leader, belonged to the Great Elder’s faction and was an extremely important figure.

"Sect Leader, our Deputy Sect Leader went out just once and returned with such severe injuries. If our Celestial Profound Sect does nothing, won’t others think we’re easy to bully!"

On the left side of the hall, an old man with white hair and beard said angrily.

The Deputy Sect Leader, Ren Congzhou, was one of the top experts in their camp.

Now that he’s returned to the sect, about half of his combat strength is gone, and furthermore, he’s severely injured. It will take a lot of resources to heal him.

If there’s no explanation, wouldn’t it be a loss for nothing?

Faced with the Great Elder’s rage, the expression of the Celestial Profound Sect Leader sitting at the head of the hall remained calm.

"Great Elder, there’s no need to be angry. Conflicts and casualties among cultivators are quite normal."

"I heard that the Deputy Sect Leader went with the Fire Refining Elder and Chairman Qian to pursue a young man. In matters like these, there isn’t much glory for our Celestial Profound Sect."

Seeing that the Great Elder seemed to want to say more, the Sect Leader questioned, "Does the Great Elder think that three Mortal Realm Grandmasters ganging up on one person, the Fire Refining Elder now missing, and our Deputy Sect Leader returning severely injured... is something to boast about?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder could only swallow his words.

A moment later, the Great Elder managed to say, "So, according to the Sect Leader, shall we just let it go? Our Celestial Profound Sect’s Deputy Sect Leader suffers this loss for nothing?"

The Celestial Profound Sect Leader replied calmly, "If the Great Elder feels aggrieved, you can go find the one who injured the Deputy Sect Leader and avenge him. What do you think, Great Elder?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder felt as if he might as well not have spoken out.

He and Ren Congzhou are practically of equal strength; since the opponent could severely injure Ren Congzhou,

wouldn’t he also be risking half his life if he went?

The Great Elder initially thought the Sect Leader would intervene, bringing the sect’s sacred artifacts. Regardless of the outcome, it would be beneficial for his side, but unexpectedly, the Sect Leader was unmoved.

Watching the Great Elder leave in anger, the Celestial Profound Sect Leader was silent for a moment before suddenly smirking.

"Thinking that this Sect Leader should take the fall and let you reap the benefits, you’re still a bit inexperienced."

Then, the Celestial Profound Sect Leader pondered, after all, Ren Congzhou was indeed a genuine Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer.

Having worked with Ren Congzhou for many years, the Sect Leader knew the man was capable, not just a flashy Grandmaster Sixth Layer.

Even for the Fire Refining Elder, severely injuring Ren Congzhou would not be easy... who exactly did it?

...

Northern Territory, somewhere in the Nameless Mountain Range.

Nearly ten days had passed since the last time he made it onto the list, and about twenty days were left until the time limit reset.

So, Lu Ye planned to return to the Northern Territory for half a month, and after a month’s limit, go back to the Eastern Territory and get on the list again.

Coincidentally, having just killed the Fire Refining Elder, and with Ren Congzhou returning to the Celestial Profound Sect severely injured as well.

In the entire Eastern Territory, there aren’t even ten such experts, adding in Chairman Bai Chuan and Chairman Wan Tong, who although not necessarily helpful, would at least remain neutral.

So, among the top ten experts in the Eastern Territory, four or five are already out of the picture.

Even if someone is interested in him, without thoroughly investigating, they probably won’t act hastily.

Taking advantage of the time they spend investigating, getting back on the list and taking first place again to see if he can light up the first node of the Seven Stars Map!

After sorting all of this out in his mind, Lu Ye reckoned that next time, getting on the list might not be as dangerous.

However, to be safe, next time, he would definitely have Youluo with him beforehand.

In the Nameless Mountain Range, after removing his mask and letting Youluo leave first, Lu Ye cultivated a while longer, then headed towards Cloud Leaf City.

"Young Master... the young master is back!"

Upon arriving at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, a sharp-eyed guard immediately exclaimed.

Lu Ye’s reputation was different than before.

Previously, he was already respected among the Jiang Family’s guards, but...

Now, with rumors spreading about his other identity, if true... it would undoubtedly be a significant event in the Northern Territory.

This cry of Young Master also excited those lying in wait around the Jiang Family gathering intelligence.

Since the last major event when Lu Ye was in the Eastern Territory, he hadn’t appeared for a while, reducing the onlookers by about seventy or eighty percent.

But some people still lingered around the Jiang Mansion, eager to see what this so-called young grandmaster actually looked like.

Upon hearing the guards call him Young Master, these people all turned to look...

Young indeed, simply dressed too, but the Jiang Family’s two main family-line daughters, only the eldest was married, aligning with the identity of the young master.

Is this truly the number one expert in the Northern Territory?!

Overly young!

Lu Ye paid no mind to the curious gazes, nodded slightly at the two guards, and stepped into the Jiang Family courtyard.

"Did you see? The young master nodded at me! He really is approachable," the guard on the left murmured excitedly.

"Look how happy you are. It’s just a nod, the young master has always been this courteous to us," the guard on the right said casually, though the excitement on his face was hard to hide.

Previously, though the young master was approachable, his revealed identity was different.

Now... it’s a possible Northern Territory’s peak master acknowledging them!

On the other hand, Lu Ye made his way to Jiang Qingge’s courtyard.

Jiang Qingge was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, and at a glance saw Lu Ye entering through the gate.

Instantly, Jiang Qingge showed a hint of joy.

He’s really okay! He came back safely!

"Husband, you came back just in time, there’s something I want to talk to you about..."
