The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1437
Chapter 1437 The Crisis in Shadow Sect
The Divine Continent was filled with saints and experts, but there were five of the most powerful sects, known as the Divine Continent’s Five Sovereigns.
There were many disciples in these five great sects, and the strength of their sect masters was unfathomable. They were existences that other large and small Sacred Sects would not easily provoke, and that Shadow Sect was one of the five Divine Continent Sovereigns.
The three beautiful women had already returned to Shadow Sect, but they discovered that the elders of the sect and above weren’t there. At the same time, important figures from Shadow Sect gathered in the lobby of the main hall.
As one of the Divine Continent’s five supreme beings, the Shadow Sect Sect occupied an enormous area, and this main hall was as magnificent as a palace. There was a wide red carpet in the middle of the hall, She stretched all the way to the throne of the main hall on the stairs. On the throne made of spirit stones sat an extremely beautiful woman. No one could tell her age from her appearance. She was like a flower girl in her early twenties. However, everyone present knew in their hearts that this was a woman who had lived for nearly a hundred years. She was their Shadow Sect’s Sect Leader, Qing Chen.
Below the main hall stood two rows of women, both at the level of Thousand Shadow Sect Elders and even Vice Sect Leaders. However, none of these people were the protagonists of this meeting. The protagonists were an extremely beautiful woman standing in the middle of the red carpet. She stood upright in a white robe, her exquisite figure vaguely visible, and her face was half covered with white veil. However, her pair of large eyes could enchant thousands of male disciples.
Sect Leader Qing Chen, who was sitting on a spirit stone chair in the hall, stood up. Looking at the woman standing on the red carpet, she said, “Qing Lingxian, your talent is outstanding. As long as you calmly cultivate my sect’s seductive technique, you will be able to dominate the land of the Divine Continent in the future. Today, you have joined our sect for exactly three months. You have broken through from a mortal generation to the fourth layer of True Qi. This speed is truly enviable. Why can’t you stay in Shadow Sect peacefully?”
“Senior Qing Chen, my name is Zhao Lingxian, not Qing Lingxian. I was tricked by you. Now that I’m homesick, let me go back …” The woman in white stubbornly raised her head and looked up, “Senior Qing Chen, my name is Zhao Lingxian, not Qing Lingxian.”
This Heaven’s Path Maiden that Sect Leader Shadow Sect had taken a fancy to was actually Zhao Lingxian. Three months ago, she was taken a fancy by her current master, Qing Bi Great Elder, and brought into the land of the Divine Continent from the secular world. Originally, Zhao Lingxian wanted to break through quickly and fight alongside Qin Feng, so she agreed to go to the sect with Qing Bi to cultivate hard.
But she never thought that Shadow Sect would actually be in another world. She discovered that this place was completely unfamiliar, and now she didn’t even have a way to return to Hero City in Weicheng City …
When Zhao Lingxian entered Shadow Sect, she regretted it. Every day, she asked Master Qing Bi to let her go, but how could Shadow Sect let her go? This Zhao Lingxian was born to be charming once in a thousand years. She was simply born for Shadow Sect’s charming technique.
Seeing Zhao Lingxian’s resolute attitude, the hall sighed.
Qing Chen’s expression turned cold as he suddenly said, “Qing Lingxian, I might as well tell you the truth. This is a different world from the secular world of China where you live. It’s not impossible to return to the secular world from the Divine Continent, but you need to wait for the formation to loosen in twenty years before you can leave.”
“Simply put, you can only stay in Shadow Sect and cultivate hard for the past twenty years. No one can send you back.”
Zhao Lingxian seemed to have been struck by lightning and was stunned on the red carpet for a long time.
Her tears gushed out uncontrollably, would she have to wait twenty years? How could she afford to wait? What if Qin Feng forgot about her after he left? Or did Qin Feng change his appearance twenty years later? Has she also changed her appearance? When the two of them met again, could they recognize each other?
“I don’t want to wait for twenty years. I want to go back now. Quickly let me go. I don’t want to stay here …”
Zhao Lingxian suddenly shouted like a madman. She sat down on the ground and cried like a helpless little girl.
In this land of the Divine Continent, she did not have any relatives. Everything was unfamiliar and cold. How could she survive here for twenty years?
Qing Bi couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She walked up to Zhao Lingxian and comforted her, “Spirit Immortal, Sect Leader Qing Chen is telling the truth. The formation leading to the secular world of China only loosens once every 20 years. Only after the formation loosens for more than a month can we enter and exit the secular world. Otherwise, we will be destroyed by the air currents during the teleportation of the formation …”
Zhao Lingxian originally thought that Sect Leader Qing Chen had purposely lied in order to leave her behind, but when she heard Master Qing Bi speak, the last bit of hope in her heart was also cut off.
Zhao Lingxian suddenly thought of committing suicide. She really could not endure for twenty years. The deep longing for Qin Feng was about to torture her to death. She would rather die a happy death.
However, before Zhao Lingxian’s dagger could pierce her heart, she was slapped to the ground by Qing Bi. A burst of exclamation came from the crowd. Sect Leader Qing Chen shook her head and sighed. She was helpless by Zhao Lingxian’s stubborn temper.
“Lingxian, why are you so stupid? You would rather commit suicide than stay in Shadow Sect and cultivate for twenty years before returning to the outside world? What exactly are you thinking?”
Qing Bi’s eyes turned red. Although she had only known Zhao Lingxian for three months, she loved Zhao Lingxian very much and took care of her as if she were her own child. It was also because she really couldn’t send Zhao Lingxian away now. Otherwise, she would definitely let Zhao Lingxian leave.
Did Zhao Lingxian commit suicide? She sat on the ground like a lost puppet. She couldn’t hear anyone else asking her anything.
The Elders and Sect Leader of Shadow Sect felt helpless in their hearts. Qing Bi couldn’t bear it anymore. He stood up and said, “Sect Leader Qing Chen, since the disciples of Lingxian insist on not joining our sect and don’t want to cultivate our sect’s seductive immortal techniques, why don’t you stop forcing her?”
Another elder immediately stood up and retorted, “How can this be? Right now, the Thousand Shadow Sect is in a critical juncture. Ever since Senior Sister Qing Ying stopped catching it, the Sect Leader Qing Zun has disappeared. The Sect Leader Qing Chen alone can’t hold on for too long …”
The deputy sect leader of Shadow Sect also said, “I, Shadow Sect, am one of the five sect leaders of the Divine Continent. Originally, our sect was at the top of the five. However, due to the disappearance of Senior Sister Qing Ying and Sect Leader Qing Zun, our strength is already at the bottom of the five sect leaders. We can be replaced by other newly promoted sects at any time.”
Facing all the rebuttals, Qing Bi still insisted on speaking up for Zhao Lingxian, “Vice Sect Leader Qing Ye, although our Thousand Shadow Sect has been lonely these past few years, at least our foundation is still there. You and Sect Leader Qing Chen are both first-class experts. How can other Sacred Sects easily replace one of our five Sect Leaders?”
Qing Chen sighed and said, “Qing Bi, you underestimate the Sacred Gates of the land of the Divine Continent. Not to mention anything else, even the newly-born Lingxian Sect may take away the position of one of the five of our Shadow Sect Sovereigns.” “That Lingxian Sect is mysterious and unpredictable. He dominated Far Ice City and Meteor City overnight and changed his name to Spirit Immortal City … I heard that a few days ago, there was an ordinary disciple from Lingxian Sect who caused a huge commotion in the Science and Technology Museum and even killed a group of sixth and seventh True Qi Realm experts.”
As soon as Qing Chen said those words, cries of alarm filled the surroundings.
An ordinary disciple of Lingxian Sect could kill a seventh layer True Qi Realm expert. From the looks of it, this Lingxian Sect was truly amazing.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall was stuck in a stalemate, Zhao Lingxian, who had been sitting in a daze, suddenly jumped up. This shocking action shocked everyone.
“Lingxian …”
Before Qing Bi could finish speaking, Zhao Lingxian immediately interrupted, “Master Qing Bi, did you just say Lingxian Sect? There’s another Spirit Immortal City? What’s going on? Where’s Spirit Immortal City? I’m going now …”
Zhao Lingxian’s actions were so abnormal that everyone was confused. On the other hand, some people realized that the name of Lingxian Sect, which had recently appeared in the Divine Continent, was the same as Zhao Lingxian’s. However, no one would think that the sect was related to Zhao Lingxian. That was simply a fantasy.
“Lingxian, calm down. More than a month ago, Far Ice City and Meteor City were occupied. Their names were changed to Spirit Immortal City. At the same time, a Lingxian Sect appeared on the mainland. This sect has never heard of it before, nor does it know what its predecessor was?” Qing Bi hurriedly explained.
Zhao Lingxian’s eyes shone brightly. She counted the time and thought about the name of Spirit Immortal City. This was definitely not a coincidence. She realized that Qin Feng had already come to the Divine Continent to look for her.
Zhao Lingxian, who was originally in extreme despair, wanted to scream excitedly. She wished she could rush into Qin Feng’s arms in the next second, kiss his lips and give him her body crazily. She knew that Qin Feng would not leave her behind. Even if he went to another world, Qin Feng would still resolutely chase after her …
“Sect Leader Qing Chen, I want to go to Spirit Immortal City!” Zhao Lingxian made this request again. This time, her expression was firm, and she did not seem to be joking.
Everyone in Shadow Sect became more and more puzzled. They couldn’t understand Zhao Lingxian’s thoughts at all. Qing Chen’s expression changed again and again. Finally, he said, “Alright, I can take you to Spirit Immortal City, but not now … A genius disciple from the Wind Sun Palace will come to our sect to communicate. You will receive him on behalf of a genius female disciple from Shadow Sect.”
Zhao Lingxian’s expression changed, “Sect Leader, are Fengyang Palace’s disciples male or female?”
Qing Chen said calmly, “An outstanding youth!”
Zhao Lingxian’s face immediately turned cold, and she said firmly, “Then I won’t receive you. I want to go to Spirit Immortal City.”
Rumble!
With a loud explosion, Qing Chen’s palm smashed the armrest of the spirit stone chair into pieces. The group of elders and vice sect masters below lowered their heads in fear.
“Lingxian, this matter is not up to you. If you don’t receive it, then don’t think of going to Spirit Immortal City.” Qing Chen’s tone was unquestionable.
Zhao Lingxian stomped her feet angrily, but she knew that she was no match for Sect Leader Qing Chen, so she had no power to resist now.
“Sect Leader, we can discuss this matter …” Qing Bi couldn’t help but step forward to ease the atmosphere.
Qing Chen was also worried about the sect. He sighed and said, “Take Lingxian down first. Fengyang Palace is also one of the five sects in the Divine Continent. You came here to make friends with me, Shadow Sect. If you seize this opportunity, Shadow Sect will still be able to hold on to the position of the five sects for a while longer. Otherwise …”
Qing Chen did not continue. Qing Bi understood in his heart, “Sect Leader, I will take Lingxian down first. I will try to persuade her again.”
