Because of the chaotic situation earlier, the main hall had become extremely messy.
At the moment, most of the people were already out. Other than Mo Fanlong’s body, now Ye Zhong and Su Yu were the only ones left in the main hall.
Ye Zhong sat cross-legged on the floor, one hand covering his mouth. As he coughed slightly, blood gushed out from between his fingers.
“Ye Zhong, are you alright?”
Ye Zhong shook his head slightly and took out a healing pill from his Universe Ring to swallow. Only after that did his face look better.
When Ye Zhong had clashed with Pang Jie earlier, it did not do much damage to him. However, as he forcefully activated the Shura Sword Seal to form the fifth imprint, it caused the Qi and Blood in his body to reverse, suffering some internal injuries. It was good enough that there were no major problems.
“Then what should we do now?” Su Yu was also slightly worried. Although the others had already left, that didn’t mean that the Inheritance had fallen into their hands. If Su Yu’s guess was right, the others would probably gather people as fast as they could to block the two of them. No matter what, they wouldn’t give up the Inheritance of the Innate Temple so easily.
“There’s no time to rest. We need to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might not be able to make it out of the Innate Temple alive.” Ye Zhong frowned. He naturally understood Su Yu’s thoughts. Only by bringing the Inherited Golden Book back to the Xingxiang Sect could the two of them be considered truly safe. Otherwise, as long as they didn’t return to the Xingxiang Sect, those fellows wouldn’t be willing to give up.
“Okay, let’s leave this place first. I will think of a way to contact the senior experts of our Xingxiang Sect to come and escort us.” Su Yu nodded. At this moment, the high-rank Sect Mission that the two of them had accepted had been completed, so they could think of a way to contact the sect.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Zhong and Su Yu did not waste any more time and directly crushed their own Innate Command Tokens. The space in front of them distorted, and both their figures disappeared at the same time.
When space returned to normal, they were already outside of the Qingxuan Mountain Range, far away from the Innate Temple’s Ruins.
However, this scene caused the two of them to be slightly happy. In that case, the chances of successfully returning to the sect had increased significantly.
“What should we do with the three little chicks, the Xiang Qiyu’s party?” Ye Zhong spoke softly after scanning his surroundings.
“For the time being, let’s ignore them. With Song Shaochen, Rong Tian, and the others here, no one would dare to do anything to them. As long as they are not with us, their safety shouldn’t be too much of a problem.” Su Yu shook her head and waved her hand. The two of them did not linger any further and chose a direction to escape.
However, things went smoothly beyond their imagination. It seemed that many people believed that Ye Zhong and Su Yu would spend their time recovering and cultivating in the Inheritance Hall after they obtained the Inheritance of the Innate Temple, thus no one pursued them along the way.
At first, this trouble-free escape caused the two of them to be suspicious. However, when they realized that no one was chasing after them, they raised their speed to its limit.

A month’s time passed quickly. Along the way, Ye Zhong’s internal injuries were almost all healed thanks to the large number of healing pills he had on hand this time.
Today, under Su Yu’s lead, after a long journey, the two of them finally arrived at a place less than a hundred miles away from Wanxiang City.
The huge city was crawling on the plains like a ferocious black beast, attentively watching everyone. The blue-green wall was towering into the clouds, possessing an extremely terrifying defensive power.
Looking from afar, one could see that at the entrance of the Wanxiang City, there was a densely packed crowd akin to that of ants.
Staring at the unimaginably large city before him, Ye Zhong clicked his tongue. He did not expect the Great Zhou Dynasty to have a city of such scale.
“Wanxiang City is known as the number one city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that even the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yanjing, is not half as big as the Wanxiang City. Moreover, Wanxiang City is the outer area of our Xingxiang Sect, and it was an extremely developed place where countless powers and experts gather. In Wanxiang City, as long as you have enough Spirit Value, then you can basically get anything you want.” Perhaps it was because they were nearing their destination, thus Su Yu was in a good mood now. A smile appeared on her pretty face as she pointed at the huge city in front of her and explained.
“Our Xingxiang Sect is located on top of Mount Xiang in the center of Wanxiang City. It can be considered to be a city within the city. However, unless you are a disciple of the Xingxiang Sect, if anyone dares to trespass, they will all be killed on the spot. “
However, Su Yu waved her hand after saying that, causing the two of them to speed up their pace once again.
About half a day later, the two of them finally arrived at the towering city wall that was as high as the clouds. However, Su Yu did not wait in line like the others. Instead, she brought Ye Zhong to a side door near the gate. After showing their Spirit Value Token, the two entered Wanxiang City unhindered under the respectful guard’s gaze.
The moment he entered Wanxiang City, the boisterous sounds came from all directions. Looking at the bustling city that was so prosperous; beyond imagination, Ye Zhong could not help but shake his head. He did not expect the Xingxiang Sect to be in such a place.
“Although our Xingxiang Sect is considered as the half master of Wanxiang City, as long as those people don’t enter our sect, the sect won’t pay any attention to them.” Therefore, if you cause any trouble in Wanxiang City and you cannot solve it yourself, you only need to hide within the sect.” Su Yu said.
Upon hearing that, Ye Zhong was momentarily stunned. It seemed like the Xingxiang Sect considered this Wanxiang City as one of its disciples’ training grounds. After all, this sort of place where dragons and snakes were jumbled together, was also a good place to train their disciples.
After walking through the huge city for a while, Su Yu brought Ye Zhong along an elegant main street. The instant they entered the street, an incomparably solemn aura spread out and the noise within Wanxiang City was completely separated. It was as though it was two different worlds.
“This is a Spiritual Talisman Array, huh?” Ye Zhong focused his attention on the area above him. He looked at the golden light barrier that faintly covered the sky and muttered thoughtfully.
It appeared that the Xingxiang Sect was somewhat beyond my imagination.
◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇
Mount Xiang was not very tall, but it was incomparably large. On the hill, there were all kinds of huge buildings and it was extremely majestic. There were also quite a number of people training at various places on the hill. The breeze and tranquillity of the place caused one’s mind to be at extreme ease.
Under Su Yu’s lead, the two of them passed through an alley and arrived at a huge square in the centre of Mount Xiang. In the square, dozens of huge halls were erected, and countless figures could be seen entering and exiting, these people were mostly disciples of the Xingxiang Sect.
Noticing Ye Zhong’s gaze, Su Yu said flatly, “Based on my guess, these people are basically the Outer Disciples. Some of them are even just registered disciples, they have no right to enter the Inner Courtyard. However, they were allowed to enter places like the Spiritual Secret Art Hall, the Spiritual Pill Hall, and the Mission Hall. And among these fellows, there are some particularly troublesome characters. You must be careful.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Zhong frowned, was there any danger in the Xingxiang Sect?
“In our entire Xingxiang Sect, the number of Inner Disciples is extremely low. However, only the Inner Disciples are able to obtain the most cultivation resources and training grounds. And the Secret Arts within the Spiritual Secret Art Hall are open to us without restriction. But the Outer Disciples are different, there were basically numerous restrictions on them. So, many of these Outer Disciples are rather dissatisfied with us, the Inner Disciples. ” Su Yu said with a strange expression, “Moreover, according to the rules of our sect, if only an Outer Disciple could defeat an Inner Disciple in a formal occasion, then that Outer Disciple will be able to snatch the status of the defeated Inner Disciple. This is also the only way for them to advance in rank. During the year, there were always a few Inner Disciples who were stripped of their status, so you’d better be careful. “
“This Xingxiang Sect is too interesting.” Now that he had a basic understanding of the Xingxiang Sect, Ye Zhong was momentarily stunned but could not help but shake his head. The Xingxiang Sect was indeed beyond his imagination.
While they were speaking, under Su Yu’s lead, the two of them had already arrived in front of a magnificent and gigantic hall at the edge of the square. It was obvious that Su Yu was extremely popular in the Xingxiang Sect. Therefore, her appearance attracted the attention of many people.
Under the gazes of these people, the two of them swiftly entered the Mission Hall.
The Mission Hall was extremely huge, and inside the hall, there were countless huge crystal screens floating in the air, containing extremely detailed instructions for the missions. As long as you have sufficient strength, you can receive any mission here and get paid.
However, most of the missions here were low-rank ones and there weren’t many mid-rank ones. As for the high-rank missions, they could be counted on one hand.
Ye Zhong smiled faintly at the strange sight. The Xingxiang Sect was interesting indeed. He wondered if the high-rank mission he and Su Yu accomplished could be counted as a great task.
