Immortal Path to Heaven-Chapter 1276: Ruler Ying Arrived

The young man on the bamboo chair was Song Qingshan, the genius who had entered the outer sect of the Mystic Sky Sect together with Ou Yangming.

He stood up hurriedly and ran toward Ou Yangming.

Song Qingshan looked left and right to make sure that he did not recognize the wrong person.

“Ou Yangming, where have you been these 2 years?” Song Qingshan asked in surprise.

Back then, Ou Yangming had left because he wanted to participate in the Big Demons Extermination Meet of the Desolate Ancient Ruins but of course, he could not answer Song Qingshan’s question like that.

After thinking for a moment, Ou Yangming made up a lie and said, “When I was guarding the Spiritual Herbs Mountain, I saw a tortoise-like spirit beast stealing spiritual herbs and eating them. I chased after it and accidentally got lost in the forest. There were many fierce beasts in the forest. I was attacked by the fierce beasts and fainted. Later, a passerby saved me and brought me to the city outside.”

“How are you now?” Song Qingshan did not expect that Ou Yangming would have such a torturous past. He looked at the young fellow and asked.

“It’s been so long. Of course, I’m fine now,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.

Song Qingshan looked at Ou Yangming’s clothes and clicked his tongue. “It seems that the person who saved you must be from a rich family. Your clothes are worth a lot of money.”

When Song Qingshan had not gone up to the mountains, his family had been in business for generations. With one look, he could tell that Ou Yangming’s clothes were unusual. He reckoned that even his father’s clothes might not be as good.

Ou Yangming nodded. This set of clothes was sent by Steward Mu when he lived in the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. It was probably not an ordinary set of clothes.

“Ou Yangming, it’s a good thing that you’re back. I feel much more relaxed when you’re back,” Song Qingshan complained.

“What’s wrong?” Ou Yangming looked at him. ‘Why did he make it sound as if I had bullied him?’

Song Qingshan looked at the herb fields in the distance and said, “You might not know this, but when you went missing for a month, Steward Mo planned to cancel your identity as an outer sect disciple and give this Spiritual Herbs Mountain to someone else to take care of. I thought that you’d surely come back. If you were to lose your identity as an outer sect disciple by then, it’d be troublesome. So, I promised Steward Mo that I’d be willing to watch over this herb field on your behalf and let him keep your identity as an outer sect disciple for the time being.”

He had meant well at the time but who would have thought that Ou Yangming would not return for 2 years? This was hard on him. He had to go to the Pill Refinement Department to help the alchemists and watch over this herb field at the same time. He was busy with the work of 2 people.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Ou Yangming was slightly touched. They had met by chance, and they had only chatted a little more on the way. Song Qingshan had helped him in this way. He was also a person of loyalty.

When Ou Yangming left, he did not let Song Qingchan know. Firstly, he was afraid of trouble. Secondly, he did not care about this place at all. If he had not snuck in as someone in the law boundary but as an outer sect disciple who had truly passed the assessment, Song Qingshan’s actions could be considered a favor to him.

It was not easy to obtain the identity of a disciple of the Mystic Sky Sect. It was easy to leave, but there was no chance for one to join the sect again.

Song Qingshan waved his hand embarrassedly and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I was a little busy at first but after I got familiar with the work of the Alchemy School, I wasn’t so busy anymore. Besides, the alchemists took good care of me.

“It’s good that you’re back. Let’s go see Steward Mo and explain your situation to him. I’m sure he’ll understand.”

Song Qingshan pulled Ou Yangming and walked toward the square.

At this moment.

“Boom!” A thunder sounded out of nowhere.

“Was that thunder?” Song Qingshan cried out in surprise. He raised his head. There were no clouds in the sky, so there was no lightning and thunder.

If that was the case, what was that noise?

“It wasn’t thunder. It was a fight.”

Ou Yangming looked in the direction of the depths of the mountain range.

Song Qingshan followed Ou Yangming’s gaze and saw a figure the size of an ant floating in the sky.

“Who’s that?” Song Qingshan covered his mouth and asked in disbelief. That person was flying above the forbidden area of their sect.

“Did he make that noise just now?”

The arrival of Ruler Ying was a major event. The direct disciples and inner sect disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect had received the news, but the outer sect disciples were not qualified enough.

They were the outermost existences of the Mystic Sky Sect. No one in the upper echelons of the sect would pay attention to the lives of the outer sect disciples.

The sound shook the entire Mystic Sky Sect. Even the outer sect disciples had noticed it.

They looked at the figure in the sky with disbelief in their eyes.

“Mystic Sky, don’t tell me that you’re also planning to be a coward!” The voice was very loud. Everyone heard it clearly as Ruler Ying did it intentionally.

Mystic Sky!

‘Isn’t that our sect leader’s term of address?’

The outer sect disciples were all shocked. They did not have any insider information, but they knew that Mystic Sky was their sect leader’s title.

After all, the sect leaders of every generation had this title.

“Who’s that person? Isn’t he too bold? He actually dares to provoke our sect leader?”

In everyone’s perspective, let alone the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect, even a random inner sect elder was a god-like existence.

Now, someone actually dared to provoke a god-like existence in front of them.

One by one, the outer sect disciples ran toward Song Qingshan and Ou Yangming. Their field of vision was wide, so they could see more clearly.

Soon, many outer sect disciples rushed over. Not only on this mountain peak, but the outer sect disciples on the other mountain peaks also craned their necks to look at the sky.

“Steward Mo is here,” Song Qingshan whispered to Ou Yangming’s ear.

At this moment, Steward Mo was not far away. His eyes were fixed on the sky, and he did not notice Ou Yangming’s existence.

Despite that, Bai Chi and Bai He keenly sensed Ou Yangming’s existence. They widened their eyes and walked over.

“Ou Yangming, you’re not dead yet!” Bai Chi said with some shock.

The young fellow looked back at them and said with a smile, “You’re still alive so of course, I’m not dead.”

Bai He snorted coldly, “Ou Yangming, after many days of separation, we should look at each other in a new light. Now, the two of us have become top-grade Spiritualists. Besides, in the last assessment, we were ranked in the top 10 and have left the Firewood Mountain.”

“Not bad, not bad. Congratulations,” Ou Yangming said indifferently.

Ou Yangming could not be bothered to argue with 2 people who were only Spiritualists. The gap between them was too big, just like a lion would not care about the roar of an ant.

The brothers originally thought that Ou Yangming would mock them or argue with them but unexpectedly, they received such a response.

Ou Yangming’s nonchalant tone once again stung the brothers with strong self-esteem. They looked at him and seemed to be scheming something.

Having said that, at this moment, everyone’s gaze was attracted by a figure in the distance.

In the depths of the lofty mountains, a middle-aged man in a white robe flew out from the mountains. That person was the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect.

“The sect leader has come out.”

The eyes of most of the outer sect disciples became fiery. The sect leader was a legendary existence. These outer sect disciples might not even have the chance to meet the sect leader in their entire lives.

“That guy is dead for sure. If he infuriates Sect Leader and makes a move, he’ll be turned into ashes,” the Bai brothers discussed with 2 other people.

“Of course. If Sect Leader makes a move, no one in the Great Wide World can stop him.”

Although they were outer sect disciples, everyone had a strong sense of superiority, which stemmed from their identities as a part of the Mystic Sky Sect.

This identity made them superior. No matter where they went, when people heard that they were from the Mystic Sky Sect, they would be treated with respect.

This was the power of reputation.

Only Song Qingshan noticed something different. “Sect Leader’s a top-notch figure in the Mystic Sky Sect. There’s no need for him to personally act against a provocateur, right?”

Song Qingshan muttered. His voice was very soft, so not many people could hear him.

This was true. If it were anyone else who challenged the Mystic Sky Sect, it would be impossible for the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect to personally act. The guards of the mountain gate would have killed the provocateur.

If the guards were not up to par, there were still direct disciples, many elders, and even the school masters of the various schools. Logically speaking, it should not be the sect leader’s turn to take action personally.

Nevertheless, Ruler Ying was different. Other than the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader, there was really no one else who could stop him.

Unlike the outer sect disciples, the inner sect disciples, direct disciples, and even many elders became nervous.

The person in the sky was not an ordinary person. He was Ruler Ying of the third step, the one who had defeated several Rulers of the third step.

The Mystic Sky Sect’s Sword School.

Jianjia looked at the figure in the sky and asked curiously, “Grandpa, is that the legendary Ruler Ying?”

The rumors of Ruler Ying were everywhere these days. Every time he made a move, it shocked the world. Especially after the old man behind Ruler Ying made a move, almost everyone in the Great Wide World had their eyes on him.

This person was too magical and too mysterious.

What was he going to do?

No one knew the answer.

Wang Changfeng nodded. His eyes had a never-before-seen serious look. “Well, you have to be careful later. Don’t leave my side.”

Jianjia nodded seriously, it was rare that she was not willful.

“Mystic Sky, I didn’t misjudge you, you’re much braver than that guy Northern Blade.”

Ruler Ying’s voice was very clear, just like a 15 or 16-year old-youth, but this was definitely not his age.

Mystic Sky looked left and right.

Ruler Ying laughed. “Mystic Sky, you don’t have to look, you can’t find my grandfather. The battle is between us, so he won’t interfere.”

“What exactly do you want to do?” The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader stared coldly at Ruler Ying.

Ruler Ying did not care about the other party’s attitude. He sneered and said, “I only want to cripple you or be crippled by you.”

“Arrogant!”

Mystic Sky pulled out the longsword in his hand. The sunlight in the sky shone on the longsword, and the light was dazzling.
