"Senior Sister... Senior Sister... Senior Sister..."
At the Virtue-Honoring Garden on Bamboo Peak, in the Great Void Sect.
An Inner Disciple wearing a dark green Daoist robe came rushing toward the entrance of an ornately decorated hall.
The doors opened, and a woman in red stepped out.
She was none other than Linglong, the granddaughter of True Person Jade Virtue.
"What is it?" A flicker of displeasure showed in Linglong's eyes.
The disciple said, "Senior Sister, didn't you tell me to keep an eye on He Pingsheng? He's broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Stage, and he just went out..."
"Went out?" Linglong's eyes lit up. "Excellent... where did he go?"
"Horsehead Mountain Market!"
"But... he didn't go alone. He went with Zhao Ling'er, Xu Kunlun, and Tian Xiaoqing!"
At those words, the smile that had just risen on Linglong's face immediately faded. She looked at the disciple before her and said, "I understand. Junior Brother Qin, you can leave now!"
"Yes!"
Junior Brother Qin cupped his hands respectfully and left.
A shadow immediately crossed Linglong's face. "Damn it... they actually went as a group? Forget it, I'll let you off this time. The Green Screen Mountain Trial will be starting soon anyway. Now that you've broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Stage, you're bound to take part, aren't you, brat?"
"Once we're at the trial grounds, I'll deal with you!"
"I'll show you what happens when you reject me, Linglong!"
Bang...
She slammed the side hall's towering red doors shut!
Two hours later, two yellow cranes landed at the entrance to Horsehead Mountain Market.
"Whoa... so many people!" Xu Kunlun glanced inside and jumped in surprise.
He Pingsheng was startled too.
There were simply far too many people here.
"I get it!"
