”Master, how long have I been in closed-door training this time?”

”Soon, it will only be ten days.”

”More than ten days?” I was shocked. What about the trip to the Sky Sect? However, when I turned my head to see Pu Xuanfeng's calm expression, I knew that I had been worrying too much.

The date stated in the invitation for the Sky Sect has already passed three days, but I know how they are doing, it will be at least four more days before the official selection ceremony. Don't worry, we will set off tomorrow.

The distance between the White Jade Sect and the Sky Sect isn't that far. When Bi Feng was moving at that speed, it took him three days because his cultivation was too low and he couldn't keep up with it. Now that I'm with a group of elders and several top inner disciples, I naturally need to display the utmost of my speed. A few disciples began to compete with each other, and those elders naturally saw this, but they did not say anything. It was obvious that they were silently approving this kind of peaceful competition.

Other than Pu Xuan, the other few Elders were Qi He, Chang Yun, and another Elder Bai who did not know of their Dao's name. Elder Bai was a bit strange. He didn't say anything along the way, and even his expression didn't change. His entire body was emitting an ice-cold and chilly aura. Pu Xuan and the other two naturally distanced themselves from him. It was unknown if it was because they were unwilling to travel with him, or because they were afraid of approaching him.

Other than me, there were three other disciples. Two of them were the leaders of the Baiyu Sect, Tian Yu, Guangliang, and one of them was a weak-looking girl called You Menglan.

Tian Yu gnashed his teeth at me all the way, as if I made him lower his rank in the inner court. He even has such a strong sense of honor, so this person is useless.

On the contrary, Guang Liang was extremely calm, calm, and indifferent. His coldness reminded me of a person I used to know in the Sky Sect, Fu Xi. Actually, no one knew about Guang Liang's strength. According to Chen Ziming's memories, he had never fought with anyone before, but he had said before, in a match, there would be a loser's win, and a loser's win, and that was life and death!

Even the Sect Leader highly valued him, so no one doubted his strength. No one was willing to fight him, and his position as first place was exceptionally stable. However, as time passed, everyone forgot how terrifying he was. The match between Zhang Wen He and I allowed everyone to see our true strength. Thus, we naturally ignored him.

Wandering Dream Orchid. Chen Ziming did not have much of an impression of this person in his memories, he had only vaguely heard of this person's name, and said that she was extremely strong in the White Jade Sect, and just happened to be in front of Chen Ziming. However, she had been cultivating in seclusion all year round, so it was hard to see her figure, and no one knew how strong she was.

I don't know how strong these people are, but they are all very powerful characters. It seems that the White Jade Sect really wants to stir up some trouble in the Sky Sect. Why did I happen to meet him? I don't understand, maybe I, or rather Chen Ziming, is the key chess piece.

The whole journey was very calm, as if they had a tacit understanding of each other. No one spoke, and they only flew in silence. When I passed by a small town, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. There was a kind of familiar atmosphere, as if there was something evil. This was a kind of feeling that came without reason. Glancing at Pu Xuan and the rest, I saw that there was nothing unusual about them, as if they did not sense anything unusual. Perhaps this was just my misconception.

”Master!” After pondering for a moment, I still spoke up softly.

”Hmm?” Puxuan turned to look at me.

”Master, I want to take a look around. I have a few days, I'll be there on time.”

Pu Xuan opened his mouth, but only glanced at Elder Bai for a moment. Seeing that Elder Bai acted as if he didn't hear him, he nodded and said: ”Then go. Remember, you must be there on time.

”En!” I nodded emphatically, spun, and fell.

I didn't tell Pu Xuan that my spiritual pill was the size of a fist, I only told him that it was only a little bigger than an egg, because Chen Ziming's talent was indeed not that high. However, Pu Xuan could only see how much spirit energy I had. With my Great Deception, it was hard for him to determine my true strength. There are only two possibilities for finding out about my true talent. One is to doubt it, but not to find out the truth. The other is to protect it.

That's not right, if Chen Ziming is really the key chess piece, then how could they let me leave so easily, aren't they afraid of some accident? Or could it be that Chen Ziming wasn't even that important, he was just a tool to provoke conflict. Do you want to, I won't appear and take a look … No, if that's the case, then my plan will never work. Three days. There are still three days. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely arrive.

When I landed on the ground, I realized that this place was truly abnormal. Looking around, the whole town was very desolate and was closed to the public. The streets were covered in dust and debris, as if it had not been cleaned in a long time. However, the most abnormal thing was that there was a Taoist priest in the middle of the street. He was dressed in Eight Trigrams Tai Chi and his peach wood sword was dancing very noisily. It seemed like he was trying to catch a ghost. The spiritual energy within this cultivator's body was scattered and not much. At the very most, half of the Spirit Opening Realm cultivators didn't know what was going on.

I walked forward and asked, ”Can I ask you, Taoist, are there ghosts here?”

The Daoist Priest was startled and turned around. It was an old Daoist cultivator in his seventies and eighties.

”Young man, do you know where we are?”

I shook my head. ”I really don't know. Please tell me.”

The Daoist stopped what he was doing and looked at me. After a long while, he slowly said, ”I can see that you are full of spirit. Your breathing is steady and powerful. You are definitely not a monster. Alright, I'll tell you then, this place is called Sand Wind Town. A long time ago, rumors say that there was a monster causing trouble, that it devoured people's heart and ate their brain. Look, this place used to be bustling, but now … I have three disciples who all lost their lives trying to catch this demon. I am already old, and my life is not far off, but if I can kill this demon and avenge my disciple, what harm would it be if this old bone ends up dying here! ”

Seeing how determined the old Daoist was, my heart wavered a bit. No wonder I felt a familiar aura. I've experienced it on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, since I met it here, I wouldn't allow it to run rampant.

”Dao leader, then I will kill this demon together with you to console your disciple's spirit in heaven!”

When the old Daoist heard this, he hesitated for a moment before looking at me and nodding his head.
