”What?” Su Ye did not leave the Qing-Yun Sect, but instead became an inner disciple of the Qing-Yun Sect? ”

An astonishing piece of news spread through the entire Cloud Sea Sect in just an hour.

In the short three days of the Hua Yin Valley's selection, Su Ye had severely injured Mo Huan and forced the Mo Clan to cooperate with him and take out a Level 7 Flame Crystal to suppress him. In such a short period of time, more than half of the Qing-Yun Sect knew of Su Ye's name.

Someone who must die did not die and instead became an inner disciple of the Qing-Yun Sect. What was going on?

East District of Inner Court, Number 1.

This place was originally Su Qingwu's residence when he was an inner disciple. Ever since he had been promoted to a Successor Disciple and moved to Qing Wu's Peak, this place had become his residence.

In the inner sect of the Qing-Yun Sect, Su Qingwu was the undisputed number one genius. In just two years since he had entered the sect, he had risen from a mere Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm to an outer sect disciple, and even took first place in the inner sect competition. He was ranked first on the Heaven's Pride Board, and his fame had already spread far and wide, even to the point of people comparing him to the number one Successor Disciple, Chang Lihen.

Especially after Su Qingwu's cultivation grew so fast, that he did not die of old age like many other people, but instead directly advanced to the Divine Secret Realm without any bottlenecks, Su Qingwu had become an even more representative of a kind of legend.

In comparison, Yan Dou was much weaker. This senior who was originally known as the number one expert in the inner sect, the eldest disciple of the East Branch, had all his imposing manner crushed by Su Qingwu.

Whether Yan Dou was jealous or angry at Su Qingwu, no one knew, but maybe ninety-nine people out of a hundred inner disciples of Qing-Yun Sect knew, that Yan Dou liked Su Qingwu.

Moreover, it was not just a normal liking. Yan Dou had also publicly revealed it on numerous occasions, that Su Qingwu was his future dao companion, and whoever dared to snatch it from him would have their mortal enemies fight to the death.

For such an astonishingly talented and beautiful girl like Su Qingwu, who would like her, wasn't just Yan Dou?

Yan Dou's attitude would naturally cause people to be dissatisfied. However, when Yan Dou used all sorts of reasons to cripple or even kill all those who were pursuing him, those who liked him had no choice but to weigh the possibility of Yan Dou's existence.

However, what Yan Dou did not expect was that at the same time he was ordered to search for the clue of the Astral True Spirit in Dark Mountain, Su Qingwu actually became a Successor Disciple first.

Being unable to enter the Divine Secret Realm was an incomparably huge watershed for cultivators. Above the Divine Secret Realm, it was simply no different from a human or an ant.

Su Qingwu was still stuck at the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, unable to grasp the opportunity to break through. This meant that the distance between him and Su Qingwu suddenly increased infinitely.

It was hard to imagine the possibility of an ant promising to have a celestial maiden become its Dao-companion. He could even faintly hear various secretly mocking words directed at him. Many people were laughing at him for overestimating his own abilities, as if he was a toad that wanted to eat the flesh of a swan.

Because of this, Yan Dou, on one hand, increased his cultivation, and on the other hand sent his trusted aide Fang Qi to participate in the selection of Qing Wu Peak. He hoped that Fang Qi could become the manager of Qing Wu Peak, and maintain the relationship between him and Su Qingwu in this way.

Yan Dou was confident that he could break through to the Divine Secret Realm within two years. He knew that he wouldn't be cut off from Su Qingwu within two years, and after he was promoted to the Successor Disciple, it would still be logical for him to bring back the beauty.
