Chapter 45 Leaving the Sect

  Wang Ke sped extremely fast and headed straight for the main peak of Xuanwu Peak. The injury he had just received was no longer a concern, and soon he arrived at the top of Xuanwu Peak.

  At this time, the peak was surrounded by fog, and it seemed that the fog at this time was even thicker than the last two times. Someone could be vaguely seen practicing sword moves in the square outside the other courtyard.

  A faint spiritual power fluctuation came from afar, Wang Ke walked over slowly, and just as he arrived at the edge of the square, he heard a vigilant voice.

  "Who is it?!"

  "Lingmu Shixiong, it's me, Wang Ke." As soon as he heard the voice, Wang Ke knew that Lingmu was practicing his sword technique. He walked over and took a look, and indeed, Lingmu had already put away his flying sword and was gazing at him with an icy stare.

  Ling Mu's eyes swept over Wang Ke with a hint of disdain, asking, "What are you doing here at this time? Are you trying to cancel the summit?"

  When Ling Mu heard about the requirement that Xuán Wǔ Fēng's master had put forward to Wang Ke, the only thought in his mind was that Wang Ke was overestimating himself. As a miscellaneous spirit root, he had only entered Qing Mù Zōng for one year, how could he possibly achieve a top ten ranking on the Moon List?

  "Haha, I've come to find Peak Master. The task he entrusted me with is already complete. I've obtained the top ten of Moon Comparison." Wang couldn't help but laugh, not putting the disdain on Lingmu's face to heart. In his eyes, Lingmu was just a clown-like character after all.

  "What? You got into the top ten, how is that possible?" After hearing Wang Ke's words, Ling Mu's first reaction was like this, with a disbelieving expression.

  Wang Ke just smiled, his right hand raised, and a plaque hung from it, suddenly becoming proof of victory after the trial. A blue plaque hung from Wang Ke's hand, Lin Mu's face changed several times, with envy, jealousy, and incredulity, feeling that Wang Ke's blue plaque was somewhat dazzling.

  "Lingmu Shixiong, I won't disturb your sword practice. I'll go find Peak Master first." Wang Ke ignored Lingmu and walked straight inside.

  This time Ling Mu didn't stop Wang Ke, turned around to look at Wang Ke's back, a puzzled expression appeared in his eyes, but more of it was admiration.

  Arriving at the Xuanwu Peak's main cultivation courtyard, I once again felt the surging spiritual energy emanating from within. Lifting my head to gaze at the deep blue spiritual vortex above the courtyard, I took a deep breath and calmed the excitement in my heart, respectfully saying...

  "Disciple Wang has something to request an audience with Peak Master." Wang Ke's voice entered the courtyard, and after a moment, a familiar voice came from inside.

  "If there's something on your mind, speak up. If it's nothing important, don't bother me. If you can't meet the requirements, then focus on cultivating yourself." The majestic voice of the master of Xuanwu Peak came out from inside.

  "The disciple shouldn't have disturbed the master's cultivation, but today's monthly assessment has ended. The disciple was lucky to get tenth place in the monthly assessment and didn't disappoint the master's expectations." Wang Ke said calmly and humbly.

  "What? You got tenth place, come in and say it." Obviously, the master of Xuanwu Peak was shocked to hear that Wang Ke had actually gotten tenth place. The gate of the courtyard opened instantly, and from inside, two sharp gazes fell on Wang Ke's body.

  Wang Ke walked in respectfully, with the proof of his victory hanging from his hand. The master of Xuanwu Peak took one glance and knew that Wang Ke was not lying.

  "Tell me, how did you manage to achieve this with your cultivation? How is it possible for you to obtain tenth place?" The master of the Black Turtle Peak asked calmly.

  "Reporting to Peak Master, today's trial had a bit of luck involved. Junior Master actually participated in the trial as well. Most of the powerful experts were arranged to fight against Junior Master. Although my disciple is not talented, he's not completely useless either. He can control multiple sword lights at the same time and gained a small advantage in the trial." Wang Ke said simply, his expression calm, linking his victory in the trial to Qin Ke'er's participation.

  "What, even the Young Master is going to participate in the trial? Hmph, it seems that you are quite lucky. However, you have cultivated to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and with your mixed spiritual roots, it's not easy to achieve this. I permit you to go out and gain some experience. This is my token, take it and you can leave the sect without anyone bothering you." The Master of Xuanwu Peak said calmly, then a stream of spiritual light flew down from the high platform and floated in front of Wang Ke, revealing a cyan-colored token with a Xuanwu diagram on its back.

  Xie Feng helped Wang Ke take over the token, carefully putting it away, and thanked him with a joyful expression.

  "Alright, you can go now. Remember to be careful when you're outside training. The world is full of evil and danger everywhere. As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, if you're not careful, you'll encounter many difficulties." The master of Xuanwu Peak reminded him casually.

  Xie Feng nodded, and the disciples bid farewell. Wang Ke bowed again, then turned around and left the courtyard. On the high platform, Xuanyu Peak's master saw Wang Ke leave, stretched out his hand, and the courtyard gate closed instantly.

  "Unexpectedly, this kid has such good luck. Qin Ke'er didn't have anything to do and went to participate in the Moon Competition for nothing, but it ended up benefiting this kid." The master of Xuanwu Peak didn't think too much about it, attributing Wang Mo's possible tenth place finish to Qin Ke'er as well.

  With the token of Xuanwu Peak's master in hand, Wang could leave the other courtyard. The spiritual wood outside had already left. At this time, the mountain top was quiet and still. Wang looked at the floating clouds on the mountain top again, then unfolded his body technique and rushed towards the mountain gate location.

  Generally, disciples who want to leave Qingmu Sect must go through the mountain gate. The entire Qingmu Sect is shrouded in a super-grade boundary, and even foundation-building period disciples cannot pass through the boundary.

  Wang Ke hurriedly fled the scene, leaving behind the place of right and wrong. His first destination was already set - Xue Bat Ridge, where the main medicine for refining Bodhi Dan, Blood Bodhi, was located.

  The Aoki Zongshan gate was majestic, with Jindan period cultivators sitting in town, and no one dared to make a move here. At this time, the monks wearing colorful robes at the mountain gate came in and out, looking very lively.

  "Halt, show your waist card!" Wang Ke followed the crowd to the exit and was stopped by someone. He turned his head to see a middle-aged man sitting at the mountain gate with a desk in front of him. On the desk were several items, among which a palm-sized bronze round plate caught his attention.

  Just now, Wang Ke saw the monk in front of him take out his waist card and place it on that bronze disk. At this time, Wang Ke was stopped, calmly took out his own waist card, and put it on the bronze disk.

  At the moment when the token was placed on the green disk, a faint red glow suddenly rose around the disk. A look of astonishment flashed across Wang Ke's eyes, and he saw that when the cultivator had previously placed the token on it, a blue light had emerged.

  "You little brat, you're quite bold to secretly leave the sect. Take him away and throw him into the Black Ice Pool!" Just then, a middle-aged man sitting there gave Wang Ke a cold glance, let out a stern shout, and two young cultivators suddenly flashed out from beside him, their bodies emitting powerful auras, clearly both being high-level Foundation Establishment experts.

  The two appeared and instantly released a powerful spiritual pressure that enveloped Wang Ke, while coldly stretching out their hands, each grabbing one of Wang Ke's arms, lifting him up.

  The two of them moved quickly, and Wang Ke hadn't even reacted yet. It wasn't until his feet left the ground that he exclaimed, "You've misunderstood, I'm not secretly leaving the sect, I have Peak Master's orders."

  "Wait, put him down and take out your warrant to see." Hearing Wang Ke say that there was a warrant, the middle-aged man stopped the two young men and asked faintly.

  Wang Ke hastily took out the token from Xuanwu Peak and respectfully handed it over. The middle-aged man took the token, looked at it for a while, then nodded his head, "Hmm, this is indeed the peak master's token, you can leave now."

  Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Hei Bing Chi was a place he had never seen before, but it had been described in books. It was a place that every Qingmu Sect disciple feared, where disciples who disobeyed the rules were punished.

  He put away his waist card, Wang Ke hastily walked out of the mountain gate, without hesitation he went to the left, his feet moved and opened up his body method, transforming into a black shadow that instantly disappeared.

  Just after Wang Ke left, Qingmu Zong suddenly appeared in the distance, with several sword lights shooting straight at the mountain gate, instantly attracting the attention of everyone at the mountain gate.

  "Who is so bold, to still dare to wield a sword at the mountain gate?" The middle-aged man sitting at the mountain gate looked at the incoming sword light, and his eyes flashed with a hint of severity. He was in charge of the mountain gate's position, and everything had to be done according to the rules here. Yet, several people from afar still dared to wield swords and fly over, which was essentially not giving him any face.

  "Ke'er Shī Mèi, you can't leave! The Sect Master entrusted me to take care of you before he left. If you leave now, how are we going to explain it to the Sect Master?" Ao Xin stood on a beam of sword light, his handsome face twisted in a bitter expression.

  On the white sword light in front of him, Qin Ke'er stood proudly on the flying sword, floating like an immortal, with a cold expression. "You all go back, I will report to Master myself."

  "Ke'er, Shifu's sister, if you go out and something happens, how will we handle it? The outside world is not peaceful. Why don't you listen to Shifu's words and cultivate in peace within the sect?" Fengchen followed beside Ao Xin, his face also looking worried at this time.

  Beside the sword shadow, standing on a sword light, the cold and indifferent face also showed a difficult expression. Today, Qin Ke'er participated in the monthly comparison and suddenly decided to go out for training, this idea scared the three proud people, and they quickly stopped Qin Ke'er.

  However, Qin Ke'er seemed to have made up her mind and no matter how the three of them tried to persuade her, she didn't waver in her decision to travel outside at all. And so the three of them followed behind Qin Ke'er until they reached the front of the mountain gate.

  The middle-aged man at the mountain gate looked up at the sky with an angry expression, just about to scold the people in the air, but when he saw the person on the flying sword clearly, he immediately suppressed his anger and smiled: "It's actually Young Master Shao arriving, and also fellow junior brothers, I don't know if you need any help?"

  "It's none of your business, just continue with your work." Qin Ke'er said indifferently and walked straight out of the mountain gate, followed by Ao Xin and the other three.

  That middle-aged man didn't dare ask any further questions. The core disciples were free to come and go as they pleased, without any restrictions. As the young master of the sect, Qin Ke'er was even less likely to be restricted.

  "Ke'er Shī Mèi, listen to us, don't go out. Otherwise, wait until the Master returns and ask for his instructions before going out." Ao Xin was making her last effort.

  However, Qin Ke'er, who had just exited the mountain gate, suddenly rose into the air, with a flash of white light under her feet. The flying sword instantly appeared under her feet and lifted up his delicate body, shooting it far away.

  "What to do? It seems that Ke'er Shimei has made up her mind to leave" Ao Xin's face looked unpleasant, and at this moment, she was at a loss.

  "This way, Ao Xin, you and Jian Ying follow Shifu's sister, I'll stay in the sect and wait for the Sect Master to return. Then I'll report to him and let him decide." Feng Chen suggested after some thought.

  "Ah, that's a good idea, I'll leave it to you." Ao Xin nodded and glanced at Jian Ying beside him, who also nodded in agreement. The two of them then took off into the air, riding on their sword lights as they chased after Qin Ke'er. Meanwhile, Feng Chen turned around and hastily rushed back towards the sect's entrance.
