ALL NOVEL Chapter 56
Ding!
A resounding metallic echo reverberated through the sky, causing flat, transparent ripples to expand endlessly, cracking the grandest buildings around.
Li Wujie’s long sword, swung with all his might, got flicked away by Ye Junlin’s finger.
“Roar!” Li Wujie stumbled back several meters, roaring in anger, ready to gather his strength and attack again.
Boom!
From the void, a blazing white hand descended, each finger intricately defined, suffused with brilliant runes, like the Five Finger Mountain suppressing the Monkey King, pinning the frenzied Li Wujie down.
The ground shook, and a cloud of dust rolled.
Li Wujie howled in desperation, trying to break free from the massive hand, but his power was utterly negligible in front of Ye Junlin.
“How can a mere Unity Stage wield such strength?”
Among those present was a Pinnacle Great Ascension elder from a prestigious sect, cold sweat pouring from his forehead in sheer terror at Li Wujie’s display, feeling an almost primal helplessness.
If he were in Li Wujie’s place, even exerting all his efforts wouldn’t prevent a fatal outcome.
“Li Wujie, I command you, snap out of it immediately!!” Ye Junlin’s face was grim, his voice imbued with immense magical power echoing in Li Wujie’s ears.
“Uh…” Upon hearing his master’s voice, Li Wujie froze momentarily, his expression wildly shifting, the dense malevolent aura around him gradually dispersing, the red hue in his eyes fading to reveal confusion.
“Master, what just happened to me?”
Li Wujie felt alarmed, vaguely recalling swinging his sword like a madman at the silver-haired young man before him!
In that moment, he had seemed to lose himself, consumed with murderous thoughts, indifferent to confronting the entire world!
“Check yourself and see what’s changed.” Ye Junlin instructed.
Upon hearing this, Li Wujie hastily examined himself, his expression brightening after a while: “My realm has broken through to complete Unity Stage!”
But that wasn’t all—various hidden dangers within his body and the damage to his foundation were resolved, and it became even more solid, as if he had been reborn.
Li Wujie was elated, knowing it was all due to his master’s credit.
“Thank you, Master!”
Ye Junlin nodded and secretly transmitted a message: “Li Wujie, you carry the insane demonic bloodline; once activated, it will unleash incomprehensible power, but don’t sustain it for too long; you must know how to control it.”
Li Wujie shuddered, recalling his earlier berserk state; his face displayed realization as he promptly replied: “Yes, I will remember Master’s teachings!”
Seeing this, the cultivators present showed envious expressions.
They knew that the Blade Demon Li Wujie had received an incredible transformation, granted by Ye Junlin!
“Haha, congratulations, Ye the Virtual Immortal, on taking in such a good disciple!” The Ancestor of the Xue Family came up with a broad smile, warmly trying to get closer: “On this joyous occasion, why not come in for a drink?”
Seeing the Ancestor’s demeanor, everyone looked puzzled.
Who would have thought this guy just killed two of his own?!
Ye Junlin shot him a nonchalant glance. “Isn’t that taking the limelight? After all, this feast is hosted by your Xue Family, primarily to celebrate your tribulation breakthrough.”
“No matter, joy upon joy!” The Ancestor of the Xue Family shamelessly replied, casting a friendly gaze towards Li Wujie, saying warmly: “Young friend Li, what do you think?”
Li Wujie scoffed coldly a few times, uninterested in this old dog, harboring a deep-seated disgust for the Xue Family.
After all, they were the ones that had intervened to stop him from killing Xue Tianyi.
“Alright, the matters here have been resolved; there’s no point in staying any longer. Continue your celebration, but remember to arrange the funeral afterwards.”
“We’re leaving!”
Ye Junlin turned to depart.
“Farewell, Ye the Virtual Immortal!!”
Seeing this, the guests around bowed respectfully.
The Ancestor of the Xue Family grinned widely: “Ye the Virtual Immortal, feel free to visit; my Xue Family’s doors are always open for you!”
Boom…
Summoned, the Kunpeng soared out from a distant mountain, carrying Ye Junlin and the others skyward, gliding through the heavens.
As they watched the group leave, the Ancestor of the Xue Family’s smile gradually faded, his face turning grim as he recalled the day’s upheaval, aggravating his previously jubilant mood.
“Master! Master! I finally found the young master’s hand!” Suddenly, a loud, excited shout came from afar.
A guard ran over, holding a severed arm high above his head, bubbling with excitement.
Others struggled to suppress their laughter, turning red in the face.
“Where’s the master?” The guard froze, sensing the atmosphere was a bit off.
“Throw this wretched hand to the back yard to feed the dogs!!” The Ancestor of the Xue Family exploded in anger, bellowing.
“Understood!” The guard trembled in fear, puzzled as to why the Ancestor was so enraged.
“Ancestor, what about this banquet…” An elder from the Xue Family cautiously inquired.
“Dismiss it immediately! Everyone get out!!!” The Ancestor of the Xue Family snapped, nearly losing control of his emotions.
“Farewell!” The guests present felt their skin crawl and quickly fled the Xue Family’s floating island.
Thus, this grand and luxurious feast came to an abrupt end.
As for the events that transpired, they would create a sensation across multiple regions in the Eastern Domain as they spread among the cultivators!
The sky was blue, clouds swirling.
The massive Kunpeng soared through the void.
Li Wujie stood atop it, feeling as if everything were a dream.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on a striking red figure, where exquisite features and a picturesque profile meditated a beauty not of this world; her skin was as white and delicate as snow, a natural beauty.
Just standing there exuded an aura that could captivate all.
In an instant, Li Wujie secretly sighed: “Hong Qianye, truly as stunning as the rumors say.”
Currently, the most talked-about figure in the Xuantian Sect, besides Ye Junlin, was his disciple, Hong Qianye.
Some said she had misandry, looking down on any unfamiliar males that attempted to flirt, while others claimed her standards were impossibly high, and only a unique man could win her over…
After hesitating for a moment.
Li Wujie resolved to go over and greet her, considering they shared the same sect, it would be awkward not to acknowledge her in the future.
“Ahem.”
Li Wujie cleared his throat a few times and approached with a smile: “Senior Sister Hong, not only are you exceptionally talented, but your beauty is also breathtaking; I hope you’ll guide your junior brother in cultivation from now on.”
Who would have thought Hong Qianye would cast a cold glance at him, then turn and walk away, leaving Li Wujie standing there, caught in the wind, looking confused.
“Uh.” Li Wujie’s mouth twitched; although he was prepared mentally, he didn’t expect her to be this frosty.
Was there something wrong with what I said? Complimenting your beauty doesn’t sit well with you?
Women’s hearts, like needles in the ocean!
“Hello there! Newcomer Li!”
At that moment, a cute, youthful voice called from below. Li Wujie looked down to see a mouse-headed loli creature cheerfully greeting him.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Bai!” Li Wujie respectfully clasped his hands in acknowledgment.
Being addressed as “Senior Sister” made Bai Xiaoxi very delighted, her furry mouse face turning bashful, her hands twisting slightly: “Oh, no need to be so formal with me!”
Li Wujie replied solemnly: “Senior Sister Bai, manners still need to be observed.”
“Alright then,”
Bai Xiaoxi nodded, serious: “Actually, I’m here to tell you that Master’s eldest disciple is actually a guy; you need to call him Senior Brother Hong, or he’ll get angry!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Li Wujie felt as if struck by lightning, charred on the outside but still tender inside, his face full of shock, mouth agape.
If it weren’t for Bai Xiaoxi saying it herself, he would have definitely drawn his sword in rage, considering it a blatant insult!
The famed Hong Qianye was actually a guy!?
Is this rumor ripe for the picking?
“So that’s why all those men trying to please him got cold shoulders; turns out he’s a guy!”
Li Wujie scratched his head and chuckled bitterly: “Then what I just said must have landed awkwardly…”
