Chapter 59: Chapter 55 Visitor from the Taixuan Sect
All the people on the square at the mountain gate looked toward the eagle-riding girl who had suddenly appeared.
Even the nine Spirit Sea Realm experts in the sky, Zhou Yuntian and the eight Qingyun Sect elders and sect leader, were no exception.
The girl's voice was still echoing in all directions, and the words "Taixuan Sect" brought a complete silence to the entire square at the mountain gate, which had been teeming with a murderous atmosphere.
"Taixuan Sect?"
"This girl, she's actually from the Taixuan Sect?"
Disciples from Heavenly Net Sect and Qingyun Sect on the square at the mountain gate, looking at the sword-bearing girl who rode the eagle in the sky, all had their hearts pounding.
As disciples of the thirty-six sects in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, they were all too familiar with the words "Taixuan Sect."
Taixuan Sect, the top-ranked great sect in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, was a place they all once dreamed of joining.
Unfortunately, their strength was simply not enough to qualify for entry into the Taixuan Sect.
Despite this, they often sought out news about the Taixuan Sect and recited stories about its deeds.
The Heavenly Net Sect and the Qingyun Sect were located south of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain while the Taixuan Sect had an expanse of territory to the west of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, with Taixuan Sect disciples seldom venturing south of the mountain.
Now, seeing this sword-bearing girl from the "Taixuan Sect" with their own eyes, how could they not be shocked?
Not only were these sect disciples shocked, even the arrogant and domineering Heavenly Net Sect elder Zhou Yuntian trembled at the mention of the "Taixuan Sect."
His arrogance before Qingyun Sect was partly because he was a mid-phase Spirit Sea Realm expert and partly because he came from the seventh-rank Heavenly Net Sect.
Qingyun Sect, being just an eighth-rank sect with its strongest expertise in the Spirit Sea Realm, was hardly worth mentioning in Zhou Yuntian's eyes.
However, no matter how arrogant and domineering he was, he would not dare to disrespect the Taixuan Sect because it was the number one sect among the thirty-six sects in the eastern region of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, a sixth-rank sect that was dozens of times more powerful than the seventh-rank Heavenly Net Sect!
If Taixuan Sect wished to destroy Heavenly Net Sect, it would take no more than the turning of a hand.
There were countless people within the Taixuan Sect stronger than Zhou Yuntian!
To be arrogant in front of the Taixuan Sect, Zhou Yuntian simply didn't have the courage!
"Taixuan Sect, how could someone from there come here?"
"Could it be she has come for Ye Chen?"
"Ye Chen is nothing but a minor True Qi Realm disciple, and within Qingyun Sect, he is only a nominal disciple; how could he be connected with the Taixuan Sect?"
The girl's words clearly intended to protect Ye Chen, which made Zhou Yuntian dare not make any rash moves.
For a moment, the murderous-looking Zhou Yuntian's complexion became somewhat unpredictable.
Not just Zhou Yuntian, but even Qingyun Sect Master Luo Kun and the other seven elders standing beside Zhou Yuntian, when they heard the words "Taixuan Sect" from the mouth of the sword-bearing girl who had ridden the eagle, and heard her defending Ye Chen, their faces all changed dramatically.
Previously they could abandon Ye Chen because he had no significant backing, and was simply incomparable to Zhou Yuntian.
But now, if Ye Chen truly had a significant connection with the Taixuan Sect, even with ten times their courage, they would not dare let any harm come to him within Qingyun Sect!
"Could it be that Ye Chen's earlier confidence and fearlessness, even in face of Zhou Yuntian, was because of the Taixuan Sect?"
"But, he didn't mention the Taixuan Sect earlier; otherwise, we wouldn't have pushed him into such a situation."
"Or is it that he has a connection only with this sword-bearing girl, with no substantial ties to the Taixuan Sect?"
Luo Kun, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, and the other seven elders sized up the sword-bearing girl and Ye Chen, speculating about their relationship.
Heaven and earth were silent, and at this moment, Ye Chen, gazing at the sword-bearing girl who appeared suddenly on the back of a hawk, was also somewhat surprised.
"The Taixuan Sect?"
"Could it be because of..."
Ye Chen was pondering when the girl riding the hawk, the focus of thousands in the sect square, lightly flapped the wings of the mystical white hawk beneath her, and flew directly next to him.
And the girl riding the hawk jumped down next to Ye Chen, blinked her big eyes, curiously sized up Ye Chen, and asked in a soft voice, "Are you Ye Chen? The Ye Chen who entered the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode?"
"The Thousand Lotus Cave Abode?"
Upon hearing the words "Thousand Lotus Cave Abode," Ye Chen was startled, and his thoughts immediately turned to a girl of incredible beauty. Looking back at the sword-bearing girl before him, he sobered up and realized, "Could it be that you were sent by Jiang Yao?"
Apart from Jiang Yao, Ye Chen didn't recognize anyone else from the Taixuan Sect. The sudden appearance of this sword-bearing girl led Ye Chen to guess she might be connected to Jiang Yao, and now, with the girl mentioning the words "Thousand Lotus Cave Abode," it further confirmed in his mind that the girl's arrival must be related to Jiang Yao.
"You really are that Ye Chen!"
The sword-bearing girl's big eyes lit up when she heard the name Jiang Yao, and a smile appeared on her face.
"I have finally found you, Ye Chen!"
"I knew it, the young man whom Sister Jiang Yao cares so much about couldn't be an ordinary person. Indeed, even in front of so many Spirit Sea Realm experts, you remain so undaunted!"
"Ye Chen, don't worry, I am here under Sister Jiang Yao's orders to find you, to ensure your safety! Whoever wants to be your enemy will become my enemy, Liu Chan'er's enemy, and Sister Jiang Yao's enemy!"
The girl who suddenly appeared on the back of the hawk, was none other than Chan'er, dispatched by Jiang Yao from the Taixuan Sect to Qingyun Sect to seek out Ye Chen and ensure his safety!
After Liu Chan'er left the cave abode, she hurried toward Qingyun Sect while learning about the young man called "Ye Chen" from the jade slip provided by Jiang Yao, which contained information about him.
The more she read from the jade slip, the more she wanted to meet Ye Chen!
From the information in the jade slip, Liu Chan'er learned that at just fifteen years old, Ye Chen was able to comprehend Sword Intent and had entered a mysterious cave abode, the "Thousand Lotus Cave Abode," with her sister Jiang Yao.
Not only that, but Ye Chen had also broken through the trials of the cave abode one after another, creating great miracles, and had even comprehended several types of Sword Intent within the True Qi Realm!
Even her sister Jiang Yao was not a match for Ye Chen in the cultivation of the Sword Dao.
The more Liu Chan'er learned about Ye Chen, the more she wanted to see for herself what this young man, who even her elegant and beautiful sister Jiang Yao was moved by, was really like.
When she arrived at Qingyun Sect and saw a young man standing alone in the center of the crowd in the square, surrounded by the oppressive presence of nine Spirit Sea Realm experts from a distance in the sky, she immediately knew that this was the Ye Chen she was looking for.
As she flew closer and heard it confirmed, she realized that this was indeed Ye Chen, the one her sister Jiang Yao had sent her with the "Taixuan Command" to protect at all costs!
Upon seeing Ye Chen enveloped by the murderous intent of Zhou Yuntian, a mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm expert, as if the two were about to fight a battle of life and death, Liu Chan'er finally understood why her sister Jiang Yao had been so frantic.
Her sister Jiang Yao must have sensed that Ye Chen was in danger, which was why she had sent Liu Chan'er to rush to Qingyun Sect.
Ye Chen... he really was in great trouble!
