Just like him, he actually didn't enjoy pure violence. Using the Void Sword Intent to take an enemy's life invisibly was far more satisfying and impressive!

Therefore, he was more suited to the 'Void Sword Intent.'

He slowly stood up. The sword intent attacks here could no longer harm him, not even causing superficial wounds.

However, he didn't plan to venture further inside.

Without cultivation points, even with the omnipresent sword intent storms here as a reference, his comprehension speed would be significantly slower.

There was no need for him to waste time here.

With this effort, wouldn't it be better to cause more trouble for Ye Xuan?

Moreover, judging by the time, the danger for the First Master should be approaching, and it was time for him to act.

Otherwise, such a good opportunity would be taken by that kid Ye Xuan.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back.

He had been at Sword Cliff for over seven days, and he estimated that the Fourth Master, Liu Xue, would be worried.

Buzzing~~

However.

Just as he stepped out of Sword Cliff, the transmission mirror at his waist buzzed urgently like a disturbed swarm of bees.

This was clearly a sign of a flood of messages rushing in.

This...

Lin Yu was taken aback.

He hadn't expected that Sword Cliff had the ability to block transmissions.

Although he had stayed at Sword Cliff for two months before, he was a nobody then, and no one would contact him, so he had no idea about this.

He quickly opened the transmission mirror to check.

A large number of messages, no less than a hundred, with more than half sent by the Fourth Master, Liu Xue.

At first, they were ordinary messages of concern, but as he didn't reply to any, the later messages showed clear signs of anxiety.

The remaining half were from the other six masters, almost all of them were congratulations and apologies.

However, they all shared a common point: the messages were sent a day ago, and there were none after that.

Lin Yu didn't rush to reply.

It was only seven days. In the cultivation world, it's normal for someone to disappear for seven days; a single retreat could last several years!

It's just that the Fourth Master had just established a relationship with him, which was a bit special, while the other masters didn't show any signs of anxiety.

What caught his attention was this one-day gap.

It was likely that something had happened with the First Master, Lin Shiyin.

He immediately sent a message to Liu Xue.

As expected, there was no reply!

At this time, she was probably summoned by the sect leader for a meeting to devise a strategy.

But he held no hope.

The opponent was the top Seventh-Grade sect, Hehuan Sect. Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't come up with a solution.

To put it bluntly, the opponent could easily flatten the Ethereal Sect with just one elder.

However... he had a way.

And he didn't need to use the method proposed by Ye Xuan in the original story.

Being familiar with the original plot, he had a better way to handle it, and he could even disrupt some of Ye Xuan's opportunities that were supposed to come in the mid-stage.

In the original story, Ye Xuan accidentally overheard this information after meeting the Seventh Master, Su Li, and came up with the final solution.

This indirectly led to the masters having a very good impression of him, especially the Seventh Master, Su Li, who had spent a few days with him, and the First Master, Lin Shiyin, who was saved, developed a very high favorability towards him.

But now his appearance directly broke this plot.

The Seventh Master, Su Li, had already returned to the sect ahead of time, and if nothing unexpected happened, she was now at Ethereal Peak with Liu Xue.

Logically, Ye Xuan shouldn't be able to connect with this line anymore.

But who could say for sure about the Son of Destiny? What if there were other ways!

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and began to take action.

Trying to use a non-existent crisis to gain the First Master's favorability was simply a dream.

He didn't go to Ethereal Peak to find the sect leader but directly sent a video communication to the First Master, Lin Shiyin.

As a disciple, although their relationship wasn't good before, he still had her contact information.

......

Lingxiao Pavilion.

In seven days, the preparation meeting for the Thousand Prefectures Tournament was nearing its end.

The format of the tournament had been decided, which was to open the Lingxiao Divine Palace in half a year.

The details were almost finalized, with only some minor issues remaining.

Even sects below the Sixth Grade could leave early now.

But Lin Shiyin didn't dare to leave Lingxiao Pavilion casually.

She stayed in the guest room of Lingxiao Pavilion, waiting for the sect's advice.

Hehuan Sect, especially Wu Xie, that old man.

He was clearly over four thousand years old, practically an elder in his cultivation realm, yet he insisted on appearing like a mature middle-aged man. Being the uncle of the sect leader, An Ruosu, he had harmed many women from various sects.

His reputation was notorious.

She didn't dare to venture out now. Her perception that day couldn't be wrong; her face must have been seen by that old man.

Going out now could very likely result in being captured by his arranged people.

She sat anxiously at the tea table.

Her stunning face was filled with worry, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

At most, she could delay for three or four more days. If there was no solution by then, she would be forced to leave.

However.

At this moment, the transmission mirror on the table buzzed.

She instinctively picked it up, thinking that the sect had come to a conclusion.

But upon seeing the sender, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Lin Yu was contacting her at this time, and it was a video call.

For some reason, she felt a bit nervous.

Although he was her disciple, they hadn't spoken much, and to be honest, she felt a bit ashamed to face him.

Even the concerned messages she sent a few days ago felt a bit like after-the-fact gestures.

When he was a nobody, she treated him like a stranger, but after he awakened the Sacred Body, she showed all sorts of concern.

If the roles were reversed, she would definitely respond with cold indifference. Where in the world is there such a good thing!

Especially after listening to the Fourth Sister, her sense of guilt deepened.

Now, seeing her disciple sending a video communication, she couldn't help but feel nervous, not even knowing how to start the conversation.

Phew~~

She took a deep breath, adjusted her ample chest, and clicked to connect.

Hanging up was not an option; at most, she would let her disciple say a few words.

Having done something wrong, being reprimanded was nothing she couldn't handle.

At this moment, she even forgot about her own troubles.

"Xiao Yu..."

"First Master, are you still at Lingxiao Pavilion?"

She originally wanted to start speaking, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Yu interrupted her.

However, she didn't mind, only feeling a bit puzzled as to why her disciple was asking this.
