Chapter 65 – Spiritual Secret Arts Hall
Translator: Seventh Peril Editor: Anuvrat
Outside the War Hall.
This place was still the Inner Sect of the Xingxiang Sect. Generally speaking, unless something big happened, only the Great Officials, Hall Masters, Elders, and Inner Disciples had the right to enter this place. But even so, this Inner Sect looked no different from the Outer Sect. It was quiet and elegant everywhere.
At that moment, at a flower bed outside the War Hall, Su Yu had her hands behind her back and was staring at an orchid in front of her. Above the orchid, there was a pair of butterflies flying. A warm smile appeared on Su Yu’s face when she saw this scene. It was obvious that she was daydreaming.
“What is it? Senior Sister, do you envy the butterflies flying in pairs? “
A voice filled with laughter rang out, causing Su Yu’s cheeks to flush red. She turned around and fiercely glared at the young man who had a faint smile on his face. She viciously said, “Do you want to die? You even dare to tease me, your Senior Sister. Are you not afraid that someone will come after you again?”
“I’ve already experienced it today, to what extent my Senior Sister’s beauty could bring disaster upon me, haven’t I?” Ye Zhong smiled and spoke with a hint of playfulness.
“Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. What happened inside, just now?” Su Yu swept a glance at the War Hall. Towards that person, of whom even she was somewhat afraid and was therefore rather worried about Ye Zhong’s current situation.
“Nothing much, but my status as an Inner Disciple has been settled. Of course, if in the future, someone is able to snatch this status from my hands, then that is his ability and no one will stand up for me.” Ye Zhong replied flatly.
Su Yu nodded slightly. She did understand that Ye Zhong should have rejected some of Huo Dong’s requests. However, she didn’t say anything. Everyone had their own choices, and everyone had their own path. Judging from her interactions with Ye Zhong these days, he might not be suitable to join the War Hall.
The War Hall had always been in charge of handling the external strives of the Xingxiang Sect, and Ye Zhong had never shown mercy in his action. If Ye Zhong joined the War Hall, a strong combination like that would be terrifying even to Su Yu.
As for whether Ye Zhong could maintain his status as an Inner Disciple, Su Yu was not worried at all. With Ye Zhong’s strength, as long as he did not provoke any special characters, he should be able to maintain it for a long time.
“Alright, since the matters on Hall Master’s side are settled, I will first bring you to the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall. Coincidentally, I can also go to the Third Floor once as well, so I’ll accompany you.” After a moment of thought, Su Yu softly said.
Upon hearing her words, Ye Zhong nodded his head. He was quite interested in the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall of the Xingxiang Sect. After all, with his current strength, even if he were to forcefully cultivate in his own powerful Spiritual Secret Arts, there wouldn’t be many benefits. Moreover, he couldn’t possibly move forward using only the Shura Sword Seal to fight his opponent, could he?
Therefore, Ye Zhong did not reject the idea of going to the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall to choose one. Furthermore, from Su Yu’s expression, Ye Zhong could guess that the Third Floor that the two of them were going to, would store the best Spiritual Secret Arts of the Xingxiang Sect. As long as he had good luck, it shouldn’t be a problem to find a powerful Spiritual Secret Art that was suitable for his current level.
At that moment, the two of them did not stay any longer. Under Su Yu’s lead, they quickly headed in another direction.
This was a large building that was located at the peak of Mount Xiang. The large hall was incomparably elegant and neatly paved with bluestone bricks.
When the two of them arrived in front of the large hall, they stopped at the same time.
Compared to the Inner Sect of the Xingxiang Sect, the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall seemed to be more spacious and deserted. It was evident that there weren’t many disciples that could come here normally. Moreover, around the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall, there were quite a few powerful fluctuations flickering faintly. Ye Zhong furrowed his brows for a brief moment and could tell that there were at least dozens of powerful Spiritual Talisman Array superimposed over the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall. For any intruders who did not understand the Spiritual Talisman Array were to charge into the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall mindlessly, these Spiritual Talisman Arrays would be more than enough to intercept them.
Clearly, this kind of place, which was the most important place of the sect, was properly protected.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Then, they took a step forward and slowly walked towards the entrance of the large hall.
“*Zoom—*”
However, just as they were about to enter the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall, a sound of wind breaking was heard behind them, and then three figures were seen flashing by at the same time before the three of them landed in front of the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall almost at the same time.
Ye Zhong swept his gaze across the group and saw that there were two men and a woman. The two men were around the age of seventeen or eighteen. The man on the left was wearing a blue shirt and had a handsome face. However, his complexion was somewhat sallow. As for the man on the right, his figure was relatively sturdy. It was evident that the Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering he cultivated was different from the former, causing his body to emit a formidable aura.
Standing between the two men was a girl in a green dress who was about the same age as Su Yu. The girl was tall and slender, her facial features beautiful like a painting. She was different from Su Yu, who was gentle and beautiful. She was breathtakingly beautiful as if every frown and smile of hers could captivate one’s soul.
Such beauty could be rated as exceptional. If she stood together with Su Yu, they would look like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own characteristics and merits.
The three of them also noticed Ye Zhong and Su Yu, and their eyes quickly landed on Ye Zhong and Su Yu respectively.
Ye Zhong could clearly feel the two men’s gazes on Su Yu pausing for a moment before landing on him, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
As for the young girl, her gaze landed on Su Yu as she gently smiled. However, this smile contained countless complicated emotions.
“Senior Sister Su Yu, we haven’t seen each other for a few months, right? It’s been only a few months, Senior Sister, you seem even more gorgeous and refined.” The young girl lightly smiled, the smile on her face was as beautiful as a pink cloud, dazzling and enchanting.
When Su Yu heard this, she also smiled sweetly and said, “Junior Sister Xiao Xin, you’re too polite. No matter how gorgeous and refined I am, I can’t be compared to you…”
“Senior Sister is too polite. Speaking of which, doesn’t Senior always prefer to be alone? How come your interest has changed now? Where did you find a little Junior Brother to be your follower?” Xiao Xin shifted her attention to Ye Zhong, and smiled sweetly, “Little Junior Brother, your Senior Sister Su Yu is a vicious and greedy vixen that eats people and doesn’t spit their bones out. Don’t let her swallow you in one gulp, and even foolishly help her count the money.”
“Junior Brother, this Senior Sister Xiao Xin is also not ordinary. Look, these two Inner Disciples are willing to be her followers. With the assistance of her followers, it seems she has completed another high-rank mission, right?” Su Yu chuckled, “However, don’t follow this Senior Sister Xiao Xin out for a Sect Mission. If she’s in a bad mood and abandons you in the remote area, even if I want to save you and bring you back, it would be difficult!”
The moment she said that Su Yu smiled faintly at Xiao Xin. Although both of them wore faint smiles on their faces, the tit for tat in their words intensified.
Ye Zhong watched the two women fight with relish, and could not help but sigh inwardly. The quality of the beauties in the Xingxiang Sect was extraordinary. Even he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhong’s gaze met with Xiao Xin’s two followers. The three pairs of eyes were filled with tacit understanding as they sympathized with one another.
“Senior Sister Su Yu, we came to the Third Floor to receive our Spiritual Secret Arts today. It can’t be that you also came here for the same purpose, right?” When the handsome man on the left saw that the situation had somewhat gone out of control, he suddenly stepped forward, blocking the path between the two girls and smiled as he spoke.
“What a coincidence. Why? Don’t tell me the three of you want to go up with us?” Su Yu glanced at the man on the left and said indifferently.
“If I, Cheng Xuan, can have this honour, I naturally wouldn’t mind going up with you.” Cheng Xuan smiled faintly.
“Really? If Cheng Xuan wants to follow us, you, Guo Yan, won’t be polite, right?” Su Yu glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, then looked at the muscular man who still had that same gentle smile on his face and Xiao Xin. Then, she directly turned around and without much nonsense, she entered the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall with great strides.
Witnessing the situation, Ye Zhong shrugged at the three people behind him and also followed her quickly.
No matter how he looked at the three of them, they were plastered with the word ‘troublesome’ on their foreheads. Ye Zhong was not the least bit interested in getting to know them. Right now, his purpose was to obtain the Spiritual Secret Arts he wanted and then go to the Spiritual Medicine Hall to exchange for the Spirit Herbs he needed. In the end, he would find Wang Mo and a place to cultivate. In the Xingxiang Sect, even though he was cultivating the Divine-rank Secret Art of Body Tempering, the strength of the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering had yet to reach the level where he could do whatever he wanted!
Seeing that Ye Zhong and Su Yu had both entered the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall, Xiao Xin smiled and said lightly, “Since our Senior Sister Su Yu also has a chance to enter the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall, let’s go in with her and take a look. We were originally going to go in anyway, weren’t we?”
While she was speaking, Xiao Xin was already walking ahead.
