Chapter 27 The Myriad Yin Sect, Xu Ruye

The Great Conference of Outer Sects?

Outer sect geniuses from various sects gather at the Tai Xuan Sect?

Did this include disciples of Qianqiu Pavilion?
Gu An listened with great interest. Such a grand event must be very exciting. However, he was a little worried that some cultivators from Qianqiu Pavilion might take the opportunity to find him and force him to provide information about Taixuan Sect.

The three of them, Chen Li and Chen Li, started talking about other things, and the topic gradually turned to the inner sect. Chen Li was very interested in the inner sect and was curious about what it was like.

Xiao Chenjun gave a brief overview of the bustling inner sect city, the profound lineage of the various peaks, the abundant missions and bounties, and so on. Gu An listened as if he were listening to a storyteller.

However, Gu An still didn't yearn for it.

Inner disciples also have to protect the Taicang Dynasty. They not only have to slay demons and monsters within the country, but also help the dynasty resist invasions from other dynasties. Just hearing about it gives me a headache.

After Gu An finished his work and harvested hundreds of years of lifespan, he came to Chen Li to take his leave.

“You’re quite meticulous in your work, why don’t you help me look after the cave?” Li Xuanyu suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li immediately smiled and said, "This young man is indeed satisfactory in his work and follows the rules very well. He was recommended by Li Ya and is trustworthy."

Li Xuanyu stared at Gu An, waiting for his answer.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu An couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

"You two senior brothers can continue talking. I'll take him to find his way," Li Xuanyu said, getting up and leaving.

Gu An quickly bowed to Chen Li and Xiao Chenjun, then followed Li Xuanyu's steps.

After the cave gates closed, Xiao Chenjun asked with a smile, "The grudges of the Li family are truly complicated. Tell me, does Junior Sister Li have any enmity with Li Ya?"

Chen Li shook his head and said, "How could there be any grudge? If there were, she wouldn't have spoken up for Li Ya in the first place. Li Ya died at Shi Yang's hands long ago. Now that Shi Yang has been missing for several years, I even suspect that he was killed by Li Ya."

Xiao Chenjun raised his teacup, his expression becoming subtle.

……

After leaving the cave, Gu An followed Li Xuanyu away. The two rode on the same sword, but maintained a certain distance.

Standing behind Li Xuanyu, Gu An could smell a special fragrance, much more pleasant than the scent on Jiang Qiong.

Although Jiang Qiong had washed herself clean, the smell of death had not completely disappeared.

They remained silent the entire way; Li Xuanyu's aloof demeanor made Gu An too lazy to speak.

Her cave dwelling wasn't too far from Chen Li, and they landed shortly afterward.

Gu An clearly felt that the restrictions on her cave were stronger, and this feeling became even stronger after entering the cave.

Such a rich spiritual energy!

Li Xuanyu began to explain the origin and cultivation process of the medicinal herbs in the cave, and Gu An listened attentively.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Xuanyu handed him a token. With this token, he could directly open the cave, receiving the same treatment as Chen Li.

For Gu An, harvesting herbs was enough to prolong his life; if he could obtain spirit stones, he would not refuse.

Gu An clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, then took his leave.

"Wait, what's your relationship with Li Ya?" Li Xuanyu suddenly asked.

Gu An stopped and turned around, saying, "Li Ya is my senior brother, so we naturally have a good relationship."

He could tell that Li Xuanyu and Li Ya had a good relationship. If they had a grudge, she couldn't possibly use him, a menial disciple, to scheme against Li Ya, could she?
Li Xuanyu didn't say much, she just nodded slightly.

Gu An took his leave again.

Helping the outer disciples manage their cave dwellings wasn't too strenuous; they usually went once every two weeks or once a month. Gu An felt he could take on even more work.

His career tree is becoming increasingly abundant, with the Eight Views Cave and Xuan Valley as the main trunks, and branches and leaves spreading out, signifying a long life.

Strive to reach a lifespan of 100,000 years as soon as possible!
……

As the winter snow melts and the New Year arrives, Xuan Valley begins to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations before dusk.

In front of the attic, the youngest student, Zhen Qin, squatted on the ground, cutting paper while quietly asking, "Master, what is the meaning of the Spring Festival?"

She was nine years younger than Gu An, with a sweet face, big eyes, petite figure, and gentle personality. Even Lu Jiujia and Xiao Chuan were fond of her.

“When I was a child, I heard an old man say that the Spring Festival represents the beginning of a brand new year, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. Every year at this time, people would exchange blessings. Since there wasn’t a festival worth celebrating in Medicine Valley, we decided to set it as the Spring Festival,” Gu An said, sitting to the side, weaving a lantern in his hands.

Not far away, Wu Xin, Xiao Chuan, and Tang Yu were hanging lanterns and pasting red paper, Ye Lan was preparing dishes, and Su Han was inspecting the various parks.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin's face lit up with anticipation.

Gu An suddenly thought of the idea of ​​the Spring Festival a few days ago. He heard the people of Medicine Valley talking about their hometowns, and he couldn't help but think of his home on Earth in his previous life. It was the Spring Festival, so he decided to make the Spring Festival the first festival of Xuan Valley.

We can also arrange other holidays in the future to make life in the medicine valley less boring.

I wonder if there are any other Earth travelers in this world?
Gu An thought to himself that the reason he made up the story about the Spring Festival was because he heard it from the elders, just to be on guard against such a thing.

Just then, Gu An frowned slightly. He sensed two unsettling auras approaching Xuan Valley, less than ten miles away.

Both of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but their auras reeked of blood.

They've killed many people!

The Grand Tournament of Outer Sects is about to begin. Could it be that demonic cultivators have come to visit?

Gu An prayed silently, hoping the other party wouldn't enter their medicine valley. However, what he feared most came true; the two flew directly towards Xuan Valley, and soon their figures appeared on the mountaintop, overlooking the medicine valley.

It was a man and a woman, both dressed in dark purple robes. They had a sinister aura and looked like ghosts even in broad daylight.

The woman was alluring, with dark makeup on her face and long, claw-like nails. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young Master Xu, we're not far from the outer gate of the Tai Xuan Sect. Why don't we rest here for a while and gather some information from the servant disciples here?"

The man standing beside her was burly and had a cold face. He wore a purple crown with a ruby ​​set in it, which resembled a scarlet vertical eye.

"What can you learn from a bunch of Qi-refining insects?" the purple-clad man said coldly.

He comes from the Wanyin Sect and his name is Xu Ruye. He has come to participate in the World Outer Sect Conference with his Daoist partner, Chan Ji.

Chan Ji laughed and said, "You know those guys from the Tai Xuan Sect. They're weak but like to bully the weak with numbers. If we had arrived first, we would have been in trouble. It's better to wait here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruye thought it made sense, and then leaped down, with Chan Ji following closely behind.

Gu An looked up and immediately abandoned the lifespan probe.

【Xu Ruye (Foundation Establishment Realm, Ninth Level): 67/389/920】

【Cicada Princess (Foundation Establishment Realm Level 7): 74/370/605】

They all seem to be geniuses.

Gu An stood up, and Zhen Qin couldn't help but follow his gaze. When she saw Xu Ruye and Chan Ji, she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind her master.

Xiao Chuan, Wu Xin, and Tang Yu also noticed the arrival of the two demonic cultivators. They immediately dropped what they were doing and ran towards Gu An.

Xu Ruye and her companion landed in the park, their eyes scanning the herbs, which made Gu An's heart tighten.

The security at Tai Xuan Sect is terrible!

With such a grand event approaching, why not send disciples to patrol?
Gu An cursed inwardly. Of course, he also knew that the value of Xuan Valley to Tai Xuan Sect was so-so. The herbs planted here were all low-grade and were only for the outer sect.

Chan Ji turned her head to look at Gu An and the others, and asked, "Who is the Valley Master here?"

Gu An stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Gu An. May I ask what brings you two seniors here?"

Chan Ji gave Gu An a flirtatious wink and asked with a smile, "Young man, my wife and I are here to attend the Grand Assembly of the Tai Xuan Sect. We would like to rest in your valley for a few days. What do you think?"

Xu Ruye's gaze fell on Ye Lan and Zhen Qin behind Gu An. Her cold eyes made the two women uneasy. Ye Lan frowned and stood in front of Zhen Qin.

Gu An was displeased, but he sensed a familiar presence approaching.

He asked, "May I ask which sect or school you two come from?"

Chan Ji's eyes turned cold, and she was about to speak.

"Why waste words with him? We want to stay. With his Qi Refining Realm Level 5 cultivation, do you think he can drive us away?" Xu Ruye said impatiently.

A terrifying killing intent erupted from his body, causing everyone present to change color, as if they were in a cold cellar.

"Do the two from the Wanyin Sect intend to become enemies of the Taixuan Sect?"

A clear, cold voice came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw Li Xuanyu standing on a flying sword, facing the wind, like a banished immortal.

"Li Xuanyu!" Chan Ji said, enunciating each word clearly, through gritted teeth.

Li Xuanyu said, "Come with me."

After saying that, she turned and left, quickly disappearing behind the mountain peak.

Xu Ruye leaped into the air, and the gourd at his waist flew out, quickly growing larger before landing at his feet. Chan Ji followed suit, leaping up behind him, and the two rode away on the gourd.

The people of Medicine Valley breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are those two demonic cultivators?" Su Han couldn't help but ask, his face turning deathly pale from the murderous aura emanating from Xu Ruye.

Wu Xin said, "Yes, the Wan Yin Sect is a powerful demonic sect."

Xiao Chuan said unhappily, "Isn't our Tai Xuan Sect a prestigious and righteous sect? Why would we invite a demonic sect?"

The disciples began to discuss the matter, all feeling lingering fear. If Li Xuanyu hadn't appeared, they would likely have faced a great calamity tonight.

Gu An turned his head to look at the horizon, his brows furrowing slightly.

Afterwards, he told everyone to continue preparing for the Spring Festival, while he went back to his room to rest for a while.

As dusk fell, the sky turned crimson.

Gu An stood in front of the side window of the pavilion. He could already sense the faint sounds of battle in the distance, which he estimated to be about thirty miles away from Xuan Valley.

He suddenly sensed something, immediately climbed over the windowsill, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

In the distant mountains and forests, trees were leaning and crooked, and the ground was covered with shocking cracks. Xu Ruye and Chan Ji stood side by side, with contemptuous smiles on their faces.

Standing opposite them was not only Li Xuanyu, but also another person, none other than Li Ya.

"The Li family's Nine Swords of Astounding Power are indeed formidable, but your cultivation is insufficient," Xu Ruye said with a cold laugh, his right hand fingers twitching, wisps of purple energy swirling around his fingertips.

Blood was smeared at both corners of Li Ya's mouth, and his right hand, which was gripping the sword, was trembling. Li Xuanyu next to him was in the same situation, but her injuries were not as severe as Li Ya's.
