Chapter 395: Three Return to the Sect Together!

"Yanran, aren't you going to introduce us?"

After a while, Princess Yaoye spoke with a light smile.

Upon hearing the princess’s words, Nalan Yanran turned to introduce, "Princess Yaoye, this is my second senior sister, Xiao Yixian!"

"So, all three of you are disciples of the Alchemy King Gu He?"

Princess Yaoye sounded somewhat surprised. Earlier in the square, she hadn't heard the conversation between Liu Ling and Xiao Yixian. She only noticed that Liu Ling and Xiao Yixian seemed close, like they were catching up.

"Yes, I was the third to join. And we even have a little junior sister who joined after me," Nalan Yanran admitted openly.

After Nalan Yanran’s introduction, Princess Yaoye turned her gaze to Xiao Yixian. She extended her slender, fair hand and greeted her, "I’m a bit older than you; would you mind if I called you Sister Xian'er?"

"That’s fine, Princess Yaoye; you can call me that from now on," Xiao Yixian nodded slightly in response.

Though Xiao Yixian’s tone was calm, Princess Yaoye detected a subtle sense of dignity in her words, almost as if her tone held an unspoken authority, leaving no room for dissent.

"Gu He’s teaching methods are truly remarkable, having trained the three of you to such excellence. Today, Liu Ling and Sister Xian'er have taken the top two spots in the tournament. I've prepared a banquet to celebrate you both," Princess Yaoye revealed her true purpose for approaching them.

"There’s no need for that; we’re hurrying back to see our master," Xiao Yixian declined without a second thought.

Seeing Xiao Yixian’s refusal, Princess Yaoye turned to look at Nalan Yanran and Liu Ling, who had remained silent until now.

"Next time, Princess Yaoye; we truly don’t have the time today," Nalan Yanran also shook her head.

"They’re in charge," Liu Ling shrugged, speaking casually.

Observing the trio’s attitude, Princess Yaoye sighed with resignation, "Alright, then. Next time you’re in the imperial capital, be sure to let me know."

"Will do!"

Nalan Yanran responded, and with that, she, Liu Ling, and Xiao Yixian headed back toward the Yunlan Sect.

The distance between the imperial capital and the Yunlan Sect wasn’t too far, so before long, the three of them arrived, chatting and laughing, at the small courtyard where Gu He used to live.

Gu He, already aware of their return from when they first ascended the mountain, was waiting for them in the courtyard.

"Disciples pay their respects to Master!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon seeing the white-clad figure in the courtyard, all three bowed respectfully.

"Haha, you’re all back! Wonderful!"

After a year apart, Gu He was overjoyed to see his three disciples reunited.

Two days prior, Xiao Yin had returned to the Yunlan Sect and informed Gu He that Xiao Yixian would soon arrive. Now, finally seeing Xiao Yixian in person, Gu He was amazed and couldn’t help but silently marvel at the power of her "Woeful Poison Body."

Among all of Gu He’s disciples, the one with the highest cultivation level was undoubtedly Queen Medusa. But that was largely due to her high starting point. Xiao Yixian, on the other hand, had gone from a beginner to an eight-star Dou Emperor in just a little over two years—a pace unmatched across the continent.

Of course, Xiao Yixian's rapid progress was due in part to Gu He’s guidance, but also to her own unique opportunities. After all, for someone with the Woeful Poison Body, inheriting the toxic essence left by an ancient Poison Sage is a tremendous blessing.

"This time, all three of you performed excellently in your training... however, do not let this make you arrogant. On this continent, there are plenty with greater talent and higher cultivation than yours," Gu He praised his disciples briefly, then immediately advised them not to become complacent with their current achievements.

"Yes, Master, we will heed your guidance!" Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, and Nalan Yanran responded in unison after Gu He finished speaking.

"Xian'er, you completed the most tasks during this training. I must reward you properly!" Gu He gestured for Xiao Yixian to come closer, smiling warmly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiao Yixian’s face lit up with a bright smile upon hearing this, and she quickly approached Gu He.

"Your cultivation has now reached the eight-star Dou Emperor level, which means you should be able to handle a stronger transfer of power. Seize this opportunity well and strive to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm!" Gu He spoke calmly as he placed his hand on Xiao Yixian’s smooth forehead.

"A Dou Ancestor… how exciting!" Xiao Yixian murmured, closing her eyes and calming herself in preparation for the power transfer.

Just as she settled in, a powerful yet gentle energy surged from Gu He’s palm into her body.

"I’m already at the eight-star Dou Emperor level, yet the energy my master is transferring still feels so vast," she thought, fully focusing on absorbing the energy.

Under the watchful gaze of Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yixian’s aura quickly reached an astonishing level.

The surrounding energy from the heavens and earth began to gather rapidly, and soon, a massive energy vortex several dozen meters wide appeared above the courtyard.

This startling phenomenon in the heavens and earth was immediately noticed by everyone within the Yunlan Sect. One after another, astonished gazes turned toward that direction.

"What’s happening? Why is the energy of heaven and earth in such turmoil?"

"That direction… it seems to be coming from Elder Gu He’s area!"

Some of the elders in the Yunlan Sect looked curiously toward the immense energy vortex forming in the distant sky.

"Elder Gu He is in secluded training; no one is to disturb him!"

At that moment, a cold and authoritative voice echoed in everyone’s mind.

"It’s the voice of the Sect Leader!"

Upon hearing this voice, filled with commanding power, all the elders and disciples halted in their tracks.

"This is clearly a sign of a breakthrough, but what level could Elder Gu He be reaching to cause such a terrifying phenomenon?"

"Indeed. When the Sect Leader broke through to Dou Emperor back then, it wasn’t nearly this intense!"

As the elders of the Yunlan Sect discussed in hushed voices, the massive energy vortex that had only just formed suddenly dissipated without warning.
