THE RULE KING

The next day, in front of the main hall square of Xinglan Sect.

Twenty disciples participating in the competition gathered here. Ye Qingbi and Jin Yangqiu stood in front of everyone.

In the center of the square, there was something shaped like a boat. The bow was in the shape of an eagle's head, and the whole body was engraved with talisman arrays, which was very exquisite. Judging by its size, it could seat about ten people.

Xu Shan nudged Lu Xiangjun beside him and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what's that?"

"That's a magic flying boat. It can carry ten people at a time. It's faster than a flying sword and saves spiritual power." Lu Xiangjun explained in a low voice. "The Zixiao Sword Sect is far from us. It's more convenient to go by flying boat."

"Our sect has such a good thing? But the flying boat can't seat twenty people, right?"

"We rented it. Just squeeze and stand. We'll arrive in a day."

"..."

Before time - traveling, I had to squeeze on the bus every day. After time - traveling, I still have to squeeze?

Xu Shan's face twitched slightly. He knew that Xinglan Sect was a small sect, but this was the first time he had a clear understanding of how poor it was. No matter how inexperienced he was, just from the fact that they had to rent someone else's flying boat, he could tell how shabby they were...

Ye Qingbi's eyes swept over the disciples, paused on Xu Shan for a moment, and then said, "We can reach the Zixiao Sword Sect tomorrow. This competition is related to whether our sect can get spiritual mine resources from among many sects.

"After entering the secret realm, everyone must follow Qi Ling霜's orders and never act without permission. Be careful. In the fight between cultivators, information comes first. Observe carefully before fighting with others."

A woman with a cold expression walked up to Ye Qingbi.

This woman's appearance was no less than Ye Qingbi's, but she exuded an even colder aura, making people feel that she was aloof and unreachable.

Xu Shan asked curiously, "I've never seen this senior sister. With her looks, she should be quite famous, right?"

Lu Xiangjun clicked his tongue. "Qi Ling霜, the only direct disciple of the sect master and the chief disciple in the sect. She's a cultivation maniac like you and is rarely seen usually.

"She always has a cold face. I don't know what she's so arrogant about. I just can't stand her! How can she compare with Junior Sister Tingting? Although Junior Sister Tingting has tricked me out of a lot of pills, she's gentle and tough."

Qi Ling霜 turned her head and shot two cold glares at Lu Xiangjun.

Lu Xiangjun tensed up all over and straightened his chest. "Senior Sister Qi is extremely powerful. I rank ninth in the inner sect, but I can't last a few moves against her. After entering the secret realm, just follow Senior Sister closely."

The cold glares slowly faded away.

Ye Qingbi continued, "In this competition, Elder Jin and I will wait for you to return victorious at the Zixiao Sword Sect. I hope you all do your best. Let's go."

Qi Ling霜 boarded the flying boat first.

Xu Shan was queuing up, waiting to squeeze onto the "bus - like boat". But Jin Yangqiu walked over and patted Xu Shan on the shoulder.

"Xu Shan, you've only been in the sect for a short time and lack experience. The outside environment is completely different from that of Xinglan Sect. Follow the others closely. Don't trust anyone except your fellow disciples. Just act according to the situation."

Xu Shan nodded seriously. He had gotten quite familiar with Jin Yangqiu. The master didn't hold anything back from his disciples. Even though his talent was considered poor in Jin Yangqiu's eyes, and he accepted it, this master was really reliable.

...

All the disciples participating in the competition had boarded the boat. Qi Ling霜 stood at the bow, controlling the flying boat to take off.

Ye Qingbi and Jin Yangqiu directly flew with their swords.

As soon as the flying boat took off, a faintly visible spiritual - power bubble enveloped the surroundings.

Xu Shan was expressionlessly squeezed on the edge, but his heart was throbbing. Great, just great. Not long after time - traveling, I'm back to the feeling of squeezing on the bus to work. Only the handrail is missing.

This kind of sect is really "heart - warming". This flying boat is so shabby that calling it a bus is an over - compliment. It's at most a minibus.

If the flying boat is a minibus, then the sect master and the elder outside are like riding motorcycles on their own...

Xinglan Sect is quite nice, poor but down - to - earth and warm.

The flying boat shot forward in the air like an arrow leaving the bow. Ye Qingbi and Jin Yangqiu always kept pace with the flying boat, looking quite relaxed.

The scenery around them kept passing by. Xu Shan carefully admired every scene and silently memorized it in his heart. Since time - traveling here, he had been wandering around inside Xinglan Sect and knew very little about this world. From the perspective of a modern person, every scenery outside was extremely rare.

Occasionally, huge and strange flying birds could be seen in the sky.

Standing still for a whole day and night was nothing for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Soon, the people from Xinglan Sect arrived at the territory of the Zixiao Sword Sect.

In the distance, the flying boats of other sects could be faintly seen approaching.

"Junior Brother, look, that's the flying boat of Yijian Sect." Lu Xiangjun pointed to the sky. "They're most famous for their method of cultivating sword pills. It's said that their inner - sect disciples' sects will refine sword pills for them, which are nurtured in the dantian and improve the cultivators' skills synchronously. When fighting, they spit out sword pills that transform into flying swords to hurt people. Their control is much stronger than that of ordinary sword cultivators."

"Isn't that gross? Usually, stepping on a flying sword with your feet is okay, but if the flying sword stabs someone in the intestines, won't you get shit in your mouth?" Xu Shan exclaimed.

Lu Xiangjun's face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum in disgust. "Junior Brother, can you not be so disgusting? Why do you always think of such messy things... Hey! Huoxin Sect!"

"What's Huoxin Sect?"

Lu Xiangjun's eyes lit up and he pointed in another direction. "Huoxin Sect is really interesting. The whole sect is made up of women. They specialize in mental attacks. It's said that they can arouse the opponent's original desires and weaken them... So seductive!"

"This sounds like demonic cultivators, doesn't it?" Xu Shan pondered.

"Whether it's righteous or demonic doesn't depend on the cultivation method, but on the heart. Only when the Dao heart is imbalanced and goes to extremes can one be considered a demonic cultivator." Lu Xiangjun explained while staring intently at the Huoxin Sect cultivators approaching from afar.

"Wow! Look at how seductive the women of Huoxin Sect are... I really want to beat her up!"

"Senior Brother, control yourself!"

Hearing their low - voiced conversation, the fellow disciples on the flying boat looked disgusted and quickly made a small space for the two of them in the crowded flying boat.

Xu Shan was fixedly looking at the newly emerged strange landforms when suddenly, a shadow fell over his head and the flying boat shook twice. He looked up and opened his mouth in surprise.

A huge dragon - headed airship hundreds of feet long flew past from the side above their heads. The huge and mysterious formation at the bottom was shining with spiritual light. The wind pressure from its passing made the flying boat of Xinglan Sect start to shake.

He didn't know which sect it was. The disciples were lying on the side of the flying boat in twos and threes, looking down and seemingly pointing and talking.

In contrast, it was as if a spaceship had passed over the minibus - like flying boat of Xinglan Sect.

Besides being shocked, Xu Shan also looked at Ye Qingbi beside him with great admiration. What kind of courage was this? Leading a rented minibus to compete with someone driving a spaceship.

Xu Shan asked himself, if he were the sect master, he wouldn't come even if someone invited him!

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A scene that shocked Xu Shan even more slowly emerged before his eyes.
