After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 282 Premeditation
"Huh? It's nothing. I was just tired and asked how much longer until we arrived, but the peak master just told me to keep walking." Lei Dahai scratched his head and said.

His fellow disciples couldn't help but laugh, "You have quite the nerve, daring to go directly to the peak master to ask questions. It's already a miracle that the peak master didn't reprimand you!"

The Immortal Sect is different from other sects. In other sects, all the peak masters and seniors are highly skilled and powerful, the kind that disciples would look up to.

The Immortal Sect is different. Not to mention the peak master, even the sect leader's cultivation level is not very high. Many of the new disciples have cultivation levels far exceeding theirs.

If some people looked down on them at first because of this, that lookdown naturally disappeared after everyone joined the sect.

As everyone knows about the past of the Xianlai Sect, the old members either died or ran away, and the few who remained had all experienced suffering.

If it weren't for their unwavering will and perseverance, there would be no Xianlai Sect as we know it today.

Honestly, if the roles were reversed, I doubt anyone could have done that.

Of course, the most important reason is that after the disciples joined the sect, they gradually developed a sense of belonging and identification with it. This is the result of the efforts of many parties. For example, the sect has an excellent tradition, and there is no such thing as backdoor admission or bullying. The elders treat all disciples equally.

Furthermore, the Immortal Sect is truly "powerful," whether it's healing the sick and saving lives, breakthrough pills, or cultivation techniques that can compensate for insufficient spiritual roots.

In the cultivation world, the strong are indeed respected, but this strength does not refer solely to cultivation level. It is clear that the Immortal Sect conquers its disciples by relying on other aspects of strength, rather than the level of cultivation.

Therefore, even though Chen Lan's cultivation level was only Foundation Establishment, similar to most of them, no one would be disrespectful because of this.

"I was just asking..."

Lei Dahai chuckled, relieved to see that no one suspected anything.

He couldn't help but think that the reason he had his premonition triggered but didn't feel any danger was probably because the other party's actions were within the peak master's expectations. So, although there seemed to be risks, they ultimately couldn't cause any trouble.

Everyone hurried along with difficulty, but fortunately there were many people, so even if someone slipped, someone nearby would grab them in time, and nothing serious happened.

"Look, isn't there a house up ahead?" one of the disciples walking in front suddenly shouted, full of surprise.

Everyone stopped and looked up.

Although it was dark, everyone could still make out the general outline of the house in front of them.

Judging from its size and style, this must be a luxury mansion!
The group had been traveling for many days since entering the secret realm, and they had seen quite a few treasures, but they had never seen a mansion before; this was the first time.

Upon seeing this, everyone became excited.

"There's even a mansion here! This must be the residence of some senior figure, and there must be many good things inside!"

"Yes, judging from the difficult terrain around here, the monsters are more powerful than elsewhere. Anyone who dares to live here must be no ordinary person."

"No wonder the peak chief told us to travel at night; did he already know about this place?"

Everyone was amazed, their eyes fixed on the courtyard, wishing they could fly there immediately.

Hearing everyone talking, Chen Lan finally spoke up, "I did find some clues, which led me to deduce that there were traces of cultivators living nearby. However, I was just trying my luck by going in this direction, and I didn't expect to actually find it."

"Wow, that's amazing, Peak Master Chen! What clues did you find? We haven't found anything!"

The disciple couldn't help but become curious. "Do you remember the sedges we dug up yesterday morning? Those were clearly planted by humans, because they wouldn't grow that big naturally. Sedges are slightly poisonous, and this poison can be spread by the wind. Small amounts of contact are harmless, but prolonged contact can be harmful to your health."

"So I guessed that there must be people living here, but they must live quite far away. Also, have you noticed that the number of monsters around us is increasing as we get closer? I suspect that there might be some treasure nearby with abundant spiritual energy, which is why these monsters are lingering here."

Chen Lan said.

Everyone listened with admiration, and some even thought to themselves, "As expected of the Peak Master, even if their cultivation levels are similar, they are far inferior to him!"
In reality, Chen Lan felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

These are, of course, just made up.

Or rather, these words are true, but they are not the result she deduced from the cause, but the cause she deduced from the effect!
It was precisely because they knew there was a house in this location, and that there were treasures inside, that they were able to connect it with some clues in the surrounding area.

However, the disciples were unaware of this and believed it to be true. When Chen Lan said that there might be treasures in the house that caused the abundant spiritual energy, their desire grew even stronger.

How many treasures must be inside that house!

I wonder if there's enough for so many of them?

If only one or two people are talking, the noise might not be enough to reach the Black Cliff Gate behind them, but when a group of people are discussing something intensely, they will naturally hear it.

"A mansion? Treasures?"

Jin Feng's heart stirred with excitement, and he quickly looked at Jiang Rong, "Captain Jiang, do you think there might be something good here?"

How did he know!

The sorcerer Xue didn't go into that much detail!
Jiang Rong appeared calm. "What's the rush? If there are good things, we won't be left out."

If the Immortal Sect gets it, then wouldn't that mean their Black Cliff Sect gets it too?
No matter how much they get, it will eventually end up in their own pockets; it's just a matter of time.

They take the risks, and we reap the benefits—it's a really good idea to think about it that way.

Jiang Rongdu revealed a hint of amusement, along with a sense of anticipation as he watched from the sidelines.

If Wuya Sect's entire scheme succeeds, the benefits they will reap are truly unimaginable.

“Let’s follow them closely. If they have too much good stuff to take, we can get a share too,” Jin Feng said, rubbing his hands together.

“It’s late. If you get too close, you’ll be discovered. Stay calm.” Jiang Rong glanced at Jin Feng.

Even so, their pace quickened slightly.

After walking for a while, the Immortal Sect arrived in front of the mansion.

There is a river directly in front of the house, and a small bridge spans the river.

The house was pitch black, clearly uninhabited, and exuded a desolate atmosphere.

It's unclear whether these people died in the spatial rift or something else, but no one was surprised, because almost all the secret realms are inhabited by natives, which is probably related to the fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Before the secret realm appeared, it had always wandered in unclaimed space, which was unimaginably turbulent and dangerous, and it was difficult for anyone to survive.
