JSCMU-Chapter 178: Asura Arena

Qing Yun glanced at Shen Yanye and chuckled, “Beast Taming Sect?”

It seemed he possessed some unique secret art. Just one look, and he was able to see through Shen Yanye’s identity.

Beast Taming Sect?

Yue Zhao and the others couldn’t help but be startled.

The Beast Taming Sect of the Four Great Holy Lands?

Why would someone from a Holy Land come here?

Being seen through in a single sentence, Shen Yanye’s expression turned serious.

He respectfully bowed and said, “Junior Shen Yanye is indeed a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.”

Qing Yun casually nodded, “No need to stand. Find a seat and sit wherever you like. Make yourself at home.”

He was at ease.

Yue Zhao and the others, however, were a bit awkward.

Shen Yanye quickly found a seat and sat down.

Qing Yun asked, “Judging by your cultivation, you likely hold a decent standing in the Beast Taming Sect. Why would you come to a mere mid-tier sect?”

Shen Yanye hurriedly said, “This junior came to visit a friend.”

“Oh?” Qing Yun glanced at Ling Fei and smiled, “Then your bond must be quite deep.”

The Immortal Path is heartless.

If one’s cultivation is vastly different, even the best of friends will eventually drift apart.

Ling Fei nodded nervously, “Shen and I were friends before we began cultivating.”

Qing Yun smiled, “That is quite rare.”

Shen Yanye hesitated, then carefully asked, “Senior, might I ask what brings you here?”

Seeing through his thoughts, Qing Yun said, “What, you’re worried I’ll harm these juniors? Don’t worry, I merely want to question someone. Once I’ve finished, I still have other matters.”

Only then did Shen Yanye relax.

He came hoping to take Yun Jin as a disciple.

If this mysterious senior held any grudge against Heavenly Sword Peak, he might have to help smooth things over.

However, this didn’t seem to be a hostile visit.

Otherwise, with a single thought, this senior could easily wipe out the entire Heavenly Sword Peak. There wouldn’t be any chatting going on.

Shen Yanye couldn’t help asking, “Senior, who is it you wish to question?”

He looked curiously at Yue Zhao and the others.

Was there something special about them?

Qing Yun didn’t hide it and said, “I’m looking for someone named Yun Jin.”

Yun Jin?!

Shen Yanye was instantly shocked.

Qing Yun narrowed his eyes, “What, you know her?”

Shen Yanye didn’t hide it and quickly replied, “To be honest, Senior, I stayed in the Tianxing Sect partly because of her. I tested Yun Jin and found her to be an extremely rare beast-taming genius. I wish to take her as my disciple and have been waiting here for her.”

“Beast-taming genius?” Qing Yun was surprised.

Canglan Kingdom was considered remote on the continent.

The entire country only had one super sect and was even the weakest among the super sects.

And Tianxing Sect was merely a mid-tier sect.

Yet this place produced a beast-taming genius?

And it happened to be the very Yun Jin he was looking for!

Yue Zhao and the others were also stunned.

Didn’t Little Junior Sister just form a contract with Gun Gun? When did she become a beast-taming genius?

The scariest part was that they only felt surprised for a moment. They didn’t find it unbelievable at all.

After all, it was Little Junior Sister… Even if she suddenly said she was a reincarnated Mahayana cultivator, they would probably believe it on the spot.

“She’s currently in seclusion. When she comes out, I’ll accompany you to question her,” Shen Yanye said.

Qing Yun glanced at him, amused, “Are you worried I’ll harm her? Don’t worry, as long as she answers properly, I naturally won’t do anything to her.”

Only then did Shen Yanye feel more at ease.

The two leisurely sipped their tea.

Qing Yun couldn’t resist boasting, “Finding a beast-taming genius here is indeed rare. But ah, compared to the disciple I’m about to take, she’s still a long way off.”

“Oh? You’re also here to take a disciple?” Shen Yanye was curious.

Qing Yun couldn’t resist saying proudly, “My future disciple’s alchemy talent is simply stunning! Once I take her in and train her well, she’s sure to become an alchemy prodigy on this continent! In a thousand years’ time, she might even become a ninth-rank alchemist! When that happens, with a master and disciple both at ninth-rank, I, Qing Yun, will go down in history!”

This statement revealed a lot.

Everyone was shocked.

This man is an alchemist, and not just any alchemist, but a ninth-rank alchemist!

Even Shen Yanye was taken aback. Qing Yun’s identity likely exceeded even the leaders of the Holy Lands. This was a true figure standing at the pinnacle.

But when it came to disciples’ talent, he wasn’t entirely convinced.

Shen Yanye couldn’t resist boasting back, “My disciple is even more incredible. When she awakened her talent, thousands of divine beasts appeared behind her! Once she returns with me to the Beast Taming Sect, she’ll undoubtedly become one of our top powerhouses!”

“Heh. Beast taming? A minor path,” Qing Yun said dismissively.

Shen Yanye’s expression immediately darkened!

What!

Beast taming?

Minor path?

He admitted Qing Yun was powerful, but this statement was intolerable.

Shen Yanye couldn’t resist arguing, “The path of beast taming is vast and profound, harnessing all the world’s spirit beasts for one’s own use. This is the true Great Dao!”

Qing Yun shook his head, “The alchemy path is the truly vast and inclusive one, embracing all things.”

“Not so…”

The two of them began arguing casually.

By the end.

Shen Yanye said, unconvinced, “I admit I can’t defeat you. But in a hundred years, let our disciples compete instead. Do you dare?”

“Why not?” Qing Yun didn’t back down.

Ling Fei: “…”

Wait, aren’t neither of you officially their masters yet? Isn’t this a bit premature?

Yue Zhao and the others were speechless.

What even was this?

Aren’t you both talking about the same person?

Do you want Little Junior Sister to fight herself?

Everyone else was dumbfounded. But Qing Yun and Shen Yanye were very satisfied with their bet.

After all, their disciples absolutely couldn’t lose.

Yue Zhao looked at the two of them and felt helpless, and somewhat a little worried.

Being too talented was its own kind of trouble.

Now there were suddenly two masters.

Little Junior Sister couldn’t possibly follow both, could she?

Originally, it was just Qing Yun and Qi Yu present. But now with Shen Yanye here who was clearly not planning to leave, they all intended to wait together for Yun Jin to emerge from seclusion.

Yue Zhao couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Once Little Junior Sister came out… it would be a full-blown Asura Arena.

Tianxing Sect

Sword Elder waited anxiously.

He received a message from the sect, Kunlun Sword Sect was sending someone to personally fetch Yun Jin!

With Kunlun Sword Sect involved, there would be no issue with the contract.

Sword Elder received the message a few days ago, but he hadn’t said anything yet.

He wanted to give Yun Jin a surprise when the time came.

He was also a bit curious, what kind of escort would the sect send this time?

After all.

The more distinguished the escort, the more it showed how much the sect valued Yun girl.

Yun girl’s talent was quite outstanding. This time, they should at least send an official disciple, right?

Sword Elder was full of anticipation.

Then, a voice dropped from above.

Cang Li’s cold voice rang out, “Yang Yuan.”

That was Sword Elder’s secular name.

Sword Elder looked up and saw Cang Li’s indifferent expression.

His heart trembled.

This… this was far beyond just a regular official disciple.

He recognized Cang Li.

This was the eldest disciple of the Sect Leader himself. If not for lacking an Innate Sword Body, he would’ve been the undisputed heir!
