Chapter 181: The Attention of the Source Sect’s Sect Master
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After entering the Source Sect’s Elders Hall, Xu Ning found that there were already many people inside.
They gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices.
‘The weakest is in the common seal realm…’
Xu Ning looked around.
Those who could appear here were either elders of the Source Sect, elders of the big families, or invited guests.
These people, including Xu Ning, would be sitting in the Source Sect’s highest stands later; they could be said to be the people with the highest status in this conference.
If Xu Ning’s strength was not in the common seal realm, even if Wei Xingfeng invited him, he would not be able to come here.
“Little Friend Xu Ning.”
Before Xu Ning and Wei Xingfeng could stand still, Zhou Weichen walked over with a smile.
“Senior Zhou.”
Xu Ning cupped his fists and greeted.
Ever since his son advanced to the common seal realm, Zhou Weichen had been in a good mood.
“I heard from Family Head Wei that you almost entered the Source Sect, what a shame…”
Zhou Weichen sighed.
“Life has its own ups and downs, it’s neither good nor bad.”
Xu Ning said.
“Xu Ning, since this is your first time here, let’s take you to meet some friends.”
Wei Xingfeng said, “If you can build a good relationship with the people here, then there is almost nothing you can’t do in State Feiyun.”
Afterwards, Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen introduced Xu Ning to friends or elders of the Source Sect.
These people were surprised by Xu Ning’s martial arts realm. When they then learned that Xu Ning was the alchemist who refined those high-quality medicinal pills in the Wei Trading Company, they were all very polite to Xu Ning.
Although everyone was embarrassed to ask Xu Ning to refine medicinal pills, they secretly planned to deepen their relationship with Xu Ning.
A high-level alchemist was far more valuable than a high-level martial artist.
Xiang Nanchun was just a qualitative change realm martial artist, but his status was even higher than Huang Zongshao because of his excellent alchemy skills.
“Xu Ning, this is Granny Wu Lanqiong, Head of the Wu family.”
Wei Xingfeng led Xu Ning to an old woman.
The old woman looked skinny and her face was full of wrinkles. She looked like she was dying.
However, her eyes were deep and kind, making people respect her from afar.
When Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen stood next to her, they were like two young children with humble attitudes.
“Greetings, Senior Wu.”
Xu Ning could feel that this old woman was in the void realm ninth stage.
The Wu family was the head of the six families under the Source Sect. There were several clan elders in the family who were also elders of the Source Sect. The depth of their family’s foundation was unrivaled by ordinary families.
Wu Qingfu, who had some conflict with Xu Ning before, was a member of the Wu family.
“Little Friend Xu Ning, it’s rare for you to have such achievements at such a young age.”
Wu Lanqiong looked at Xu Ning with a kind smile.
When Xu Ning was talking to other people just now, she had heard a little about Xu Ning.
“Senior Wu is too kind.”
Xu Ning could feel the simplicity of age from Wu Lanqiong.
At Wu Lanqiong’s age, even if one was a void realm martial artist, they might have reached the end of their life.
“Are you from another state?”
Wu Lanqiong asked Xu Ning like an ordinary old woman.
“No, I’m from State Feiyun.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“You are from State Feiyun?”
There was a look of surprise in Wu Lanqiong’s eyes. “I have heard of most young geniuses in State Feiyun in the past hundred years, but I have never heard of your name.”
“Although I am from State Feiyun, the main advancements of my martial arts took place in State Jifeng.”
Xu Ning responded.
“I knew it…” Wu Lanqiong smiled, causing the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes to overlap. “Which sect are you from in State Jifeng? ”
“Yuelan Sect.”
Xu Ning did not hide anything.
Wu Lanqiong said, “Many years ago, I went to State Jifeng and met many people from the Yuelan Sect, but I don’t know if they are still alive…”
“Who is the current leader of the Yuelan Sect?”
Wu Lanqiong asked.
“It’s my master, Mi Xingye.”
Xu Ning did not hide his identity. With his current strength, there was almost no need to hide anything.
As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen looked at him.
They knew that Xu Ning came from a large sect in State Jifeng, but they didn’t expect him to be the disciple of the Yuelan Sect’s Sect Master.
The Yuelan Sect was a big sect in State Jifeng, and was quite famous in the outer states.
“Mi Xingye?”
Wu Lanqiong narrowed her eyes and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face. “I still remember him. Back then, he was just a high-spirited young man, I didn’t expect him to have already become a sect master…”
Wu Lanqiong stared at Xu Ning as if she was thinking about something.
At this moment.
“Sect Master Feng is here.”
Someone suddenly shouted.
Xu Ning looked at the door.
A silver-haired old man walked in. He had a straight back and was wearing a long coat. He was energetic as he walked steadily.
“Sect Master Feng!”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
“…”
As soon as he came in, everyone in the Elders Hall surrounded him.
“Source Sect’s Sect Master, Feng Xiu…”
The moment Xu Ning saw Feng Xiu, he felt a huge pressure boring down on him.
Even with a dao weapon, he still felt this kind of pressure.
‘This Feng Xiu is stronger than my master Mi Xingye… In this case, he should be a half-step dao realm master…’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
Feng Xiu took the initiative to walk next to Wu Lanqiong.
“Sister Wu, you’re here too.”
Feng Xiu was very polite to Wu Lanqiong.
“The sect conference is held every three years. I don’t know how many more times I can attend it, so of course I have to come.”
Wu Lanqiong’s tone seemed to be mocking herself.
Feng Xiu smiled and felt a little sad.
Wu Lanqiong had no hope of breaking through to the dao realm, so her life span was only 150 years.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Feng Xiu noticed Xu Ning. “You look unfamiliar.”
“Junior Xu Ning greets Sect Master Feng.”
Xu Ning quickly introduced himself.
“Xu Ning is from State Feiyun, but he cultivated in State Jifeng. He comes from the Yuelan Sect, and his master is Mi Xingye.”
Wu Lanqiong took the initiative to tell Feng Xiu before Xu Ning could introduce himself.
Feng Xiu’s eyebrows moved.
Afterwards, Feng Xiu heard a voice transmitted straight into his ears.
“This child may be our bond with State Jifeng.”
It was Wu Lanqiong’s voice, but only Feng Xiu could hear it.
“Let him be the bond between the Source Sect and State Jifeng… It does seem appropriate…”
Feng Xiu glanced at Xu Ning from top to bottom.
Xu Ning was confused by Feng Xiu’s glance.
Feng Xiu’s eyes seemed to be scrutinizing him.
“Okay, the sect conference is about to begin, let’s go to the stands.”
Feng Xiu looked away from Xu Ning. “Xu Ning, you shall follow me.”
After Feng Xiu said this, Wei Xingfeng, Zhou Weichen, and everyone else looked at Xu Ning with surprise.
Sect Master Feng was obviously trying to raise Xu Ning’s status in front of everyone.
“Understood.”
Xu Ning was puzzled, but he still chose to obey.
Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong walked side by side. Xu Ning was half a step behind them and the others followed behind Xu Ning.
This feeling made Xu Ning feel strange.
He, an outsider, was actually in front of the group of elders.
Feiyun Square.
This was the place where the Source Sect would hold their conference.
When Xu Ning saw this, he remembered the scene of him participating in the demon slaying conference at the Yuelan Sect.
“The elders are here!”
“I saw my family head!”
“…”
When Feng Xiu led the crowd into the venue, Feiyun Square was suddenly full of cheers.
As the Sect Master of the Source Sect, Feng Xiu enjoyed great prestige in Yunying City and even in the entire State Feiyun.
Almost every disciple of the Source Sect regarded Feng Xiu as their highest goal on the path of cultivation.
“Who is that young man? Why is he with the Sect Master?”
“Could he be the new disciple of the Sect Master?”
“Impossible, even a new disciple can’t possibly sit in the highest stands.”
“…”
At this moment, many people noticed Xu Ning who was behind Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.
Many people began to discuss Xu Ning.
“Qingfu, what’s wrong?”
Somewhere in the crowd, Wu Qingfu was stunned on the spot. He didn’t even react when his colleagues patted him.
“That person, he is…”
Wu Qingfu had already recognized Xu Ning.
After the conflict with Xu Ning and the others, he sent someone to investigate.
He finally figured it out. His subordinates told him that Xu Ning was the alchemist who was staying with the Wei family.
Hearing this, Wu Qingfu let out a sigh of relief. Although the other party was obviously extremely strong and was an alchemist, as a disciple of the Wu family, as long as he did not provoke the alchemist, the alchemist would definitely not take revenge against him.
Wu Qingfu thought that this matter would be over, but he didn’t expect Xu Ning to appear at the Source Sect’s sect conference, and also appear at the highest stands behind the Sect Master Feng Xiu and the Family Head Granny.
This shocked Wu Qingfu.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was in big trouble.
When Wu Qingfu noticed Xu Ning, Xu Ning also saw Wu Qingfu in the crowd.
His gaze paused on Wu Qingfu for a moment, then he gently shook his head and looked away.
“Xu Ning, you seem to know my young ones?”
Wu Lanqiong noticed this.
“We had a little interaction.”
Xu Ning replied but he didn’t say anything about the conflict.
It would be embarrassing to say it in this situation.
Wu Lanqiong glanced at Xu Ning and pondered.
“Ah Zhen…”
Wu Lanqiong said to the Wu family elder behind her, “Although Qingfu is talented, his temperament is unstable. After the sect conference, transfer him out of Yunying City and train him.”
“Understood.”
The clan elder called Ah Zhen quickly responded.
Clan Elder Ah Zhen knew very well that from this moment onwards, Wu Qingfu had been removed from being a core member of the Wu family.
