There was clearly a barrier between them and the explosion in the training ground, but the crowd was still pushed back a little by the shockwaves.
“Cough cough, cough.”
Yin Yan, who had regained his senses, was helped up by Yin Miao.
To be honest, he had been at the end of his rope just now.
If he and the Lingyun Sect’s female disciple had been allowed to hold on for another half a minute in that stalemate, he would probably have entered the cycle of reincarnation by now.
“Cough cough, the Lingyun Sect’s sect leader has the demeanor and bearing of a celestial. Furthermore, your few disciples are all virtuous and talented people, and they live up to their reputation!” Knowing that he had already been defeated, Yin Yan straightened his body and congratulated the Lingyun
Sect.
In the first place, he had only been entrusted by his sect to probe the Lingyun Sect’s strength.
Today’s battle had completely convinced him of the Lingyun Sect’s worthiness!
“You guys aren’t bad either. With the combined strength of the three of you, we were close to being unable to withstand it,” Ye Yunfan nodded as well.
Although the other party had been defeated, the coordination they had during their attacks was worth learning.
“You’re too humble, too humble. I’m ashamed to say this, but we had thought it would be a piece of cake coming here today.”
“Who would have thought that the gap between the Yinxiang Pavilion and the Lingyun Sect would be like a firefly to the bright moon!”
“The few of us had been arrogant and ignorant before this! Today, we have been reminded to be humble. We will bring gifts to thank you in the future!”
The Yin brothers each said a sentence as they bowed to Jiang Yiming and the rest.
“There’s no need to belittle yourselves. If it’s convenient for you in the future, you are welcome to come to our sect to spar,” Seeing the respectful and sincere attitude of the brothers, they probably hoped to make friends rather than enemies.
As such, the Lingyun Sect’s disciples returned the bow.
“If there are still more chances to spar with all of you, we would be more than happy to do so! Alright, we’ll not be imposing on you any longer now. Today, our friendship has grown out of the blows we exchanged. In the future, if there’s anything that I, Yin Yan, along with Yin Sen, and Yin Miao can help
with in the future, my brothers and I will definitely do our best to help!”
Watching as the Yin Family’s disciples left, the crowd began to become restless again.
Today’s sparring session was about to end.
There was no lack of elite disciples or even top geniuses from various fourth or fifth-rank sects who went up on the stage to spar just now.
Those who were somewhat famous were able to exchange a few more blows with the Lingyun Sect’s disciples, but apart from them, the disciples from the other small sects couldn’t even withstand a single blow before them.
There was a total of five days for the various sects to come and challenge the Lingyun Sect.
But today, the fourth and fifth-rank sects that ranked among the top between them had all been defeated.
In the next few days, no one would probably dare to come and challenge them, right?
Since the first day of spring had ended, the crowd of spectators gradually dispersed.
“Master, it’s just as we said!” The few disciples were recovering their spiritual energy and physical strength while trying to get credit from their Master.
“Exactly! Let’s not even mention our Core Formation Realm junior brother who didn’t even need to make a move! Even if it were just the few of us, we were more than enough to fight against those fourth and fifth-rank sects!” Huang Chaoyu’s face was full of excitement.
After all, she had been the center of attention today.
The number of cultivators who were defeated by her was almost uncountable.
At this point, everyone knew that the current only female disciple of the Lingyun Sect was not someone to be trifled with.
“Master, why don’t we hurry up and prepare to become a third-rank force after we become a fourth-rank force?” Ye Yunfan couldn’t hide his joy as well.
Their strength had suddenly soared by quite a lot anyway.
Basically, they were already existences that could take on the leading role among the fourth or fifth-rank sects.
“Could it be that the lot of you have become impatient after winning against some small fish today?” Jiang Yiming was also cultivating with his eyes closed, “Take the Yin brothers today for example. If they hadn’t made a mistake in the end and allowed Yin Miao and Yin Sen to defend with all their might
but instead continued to form the array that would allow for them to both attack and defend, making the battle a tug-of-war, would Ye Yunfan and Shangguan Qingyun still be able to do anything to them?”
Although most of the battles today had been won with ease, the battles between Gu Lingfei and the Zhenlei Sect’s disciple, as well as the One Heart Array of the Yin brothers had all left quite an impression on him.
“However, your performances today can be said to be commendable,” Seeing that the mood of his disciples seemed to have suddenly taken a dip, Jiang Yiming quickly spoke up again, “Especially Shangguan, you have given me a big surprise. As for the other disciples, regardless of whether it is your
improvement in cultivation or your degree of familiarity with your martial skills and cultivation techniques, you have all become much stronger. As your Master, I’m very gratified! If I have to go out and travel again in the future, the lot of you can already be the main pillars of the sect!”
By now, Gu Lingfei had also woken up.
He came over unsteadily and asked about today’s situation.
“Cough cough, the Zhenlei Sects disciple was really ruthless,” Gu Lingfei recalled the battle with that disciple today.
There was still some fear in his eyes.
“Twonder how that disciple is now?”
Shangguan Qingyun could be said to have found the battle today very enjoyable. Hearing his eldest senior brother’s question, he hurriedly spoke up, “Hey, senior brother, you didn’t see it but that guy lay there, him being alive or dead unknown. He was carried away by someone from their sect.”
“But that person seems to be an extremely important disciple in the Zhenlei Sect,” Gu Lingfei scratched his head and said, “His father seems to be the current sect leader of the Zhenlei Sect. If I had really killed him, I’m afraid his father will pay a visit. That being said, even his father doesn’t seem to have
reached the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“Wow, senior brother, have you been bewitched by some inner demon?” Huang Chaoyu teased, This isn’t the same as the state you were in in the training ground today!”
Gu Lingfei simply smiled and shook his head, “If they really want to exchange a few moves with us, I don’t have the slightest fear. It’s just that…”
“Just what?” Seeing the confusion in their eldest senior brother’s eyes, the others all asked.
“It’s just that ever since the sect leader’s iteration, the Zhenlei Sect is no longer the fair and righteous sect that we used to know. That’s why when I visited their sect earlier, hoping to get some help, I had been chased out by Lei Yunyuan and his men,” Gu Lingfei was probably reminded of those sad
memories, “I’m afraid that they will backstab us and ruin our sect’s reputation.”
With that said, the other disciples also fell silent.
That’s right, it was easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
Remembering Lei Yunyuan’s arrogant and despotic attitude, it seemed that his father who was the sect leader was probably not a good person either.
“My dear disciples, I’m still sitting here. Why are you worrying over nothing?” Jiang Yiming’s words broke the silence under the dark night, “What happened today had been witnessed by the public. It had been a sparring match between sects, to begin with. That disciple had first spoken rudely and then
used a killing move. Even if we were to discuss the matter of morality, it is most definitely their fault. What does it have to do with us? Besides….”
