Chapter 1361 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (97)

The siblings Li Yan and Li Yao were exceptionally sensible. Knowing that their parents wanted some alone time, they didn't disturb them but instead focused on their own cultivation.

Now that the secret realm team competition is about to begin, they all came out of their rooms to cheer for their parents.

"Father, Mother, we are waiting for your triumphant return!"

Li Guang smiled and said, "Alright, you should cultivate diligently at home during this time."

Lu Jinghong gave a few more instructions before leaving with Li Guang.

This year's competition saw not only the Golden Core stage winner not belonging to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but also the Foundation Establishment stage winner being Su Muyan of the Qingxuan Sect.

The people of Qingxuan Sect also had a moment of triumph.

Due to geographical factors, the spiritual energy in Lizhou is far inferior to that in Cangzhou, and cultivation resources are also scarcer.

For cultivators from the three states of Zhongyan Domain, Xijin Domain was practically a remote and impoverished place. Yet, in such an important tournament for prodigies, the individual competition was actually won by people from Xijin Domain!

If Su Muyan hadn't been staying home lately, he probably would have been targeted by various forces the moment he stepped outside.

Each Heavenly Pride Gathering is a grand event for human cultivators across the entire continent. Major sects participate in organizing the gathering, and the secret realms are carefully selected, each one being different.

It is said that the secret realm was mainly selected by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, and then the Supreme Elder Lan Yuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect was in charge of overseeing its opening.

Where would an ordinary cultivator ever see a Mahayana cultivator in their daily life?

When Lan Yuan appeared, he truly became the center of attention, and even Baili Chengzhou, who was standing next to him, received compliments.

Li Guang suppressed her hatred completely, not wanting Lan Yuan to discover her identity now.

Lan Yuan, before he ascended to the Mahayana path and took charge of his sect a thousand years ago, originally had the Daoist name Lan Cang. After he abdicated and traveled the continent, disappearing for many years before reappearing as a Mahayana Venerable, with the honorific title Lan Yuan.

As a generation rose or fell, his status rose higher and higher, and a hundred years ago, he even became the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

His appearance before everyone undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the Heavenly Sword Sect members, making them all look extremely proud and boasting that they would win first place in the team competition.

"What an honor it is that the Supreme Elder has personally come! The top spot in this year's team competition still belongs to us!"

Lu Jinghong rolled his eyes silently as he listened to the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect spouting nonsense nearby. The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were good at nothing but wishful thinking.

The secret realm is about to open, and Li Guang and Lu Jinghong stand in the crowd, waiting to enter.

Li Guang noticed that Su Muyan looked preoccupied in the distance, so she nudged the person next to her, signaling him to look over.

Lu Jinghong transmitted his voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, should we go and ask?"

Lu Jinghong checked the time; the secret realm would open in about an incense stick's time, so there was still time.

"Let's go take a look."

The two quickly headed over there, and Lu Jinghong asked what was wrong.

Su Muyan hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then transmitted her voice: "I've discovered something, but it's not convenient to talk about it now."

Li Guang took out a protective magic treasure, which even a Mahayana cultivator could not see through.

After confirming that it was safe, Su Muyan quickly said, "After that person appeared just now, I sensed something was wrong. He had the aura of the Spirit Erosion Clan. As you know, someone like me who was imprisoned and almost had his body taken over is particularly sensitive."

Lu Jinghong confirmed, "Who is that? The one who lost to A-Li, his master?"

Su Muyan nodded: "It is his master."

The cultivation world has many methods, and since Lan Yuan was present, they did not address him by his title to avoid being discovered.

Although Li Guang knew that Lan Yuan had a problem, she was still somewhat surprised by Su Muyan's words. Could he really be so sensitive?

There must be some secret, like some treasure that detected Lan Yuan's situation.

It's perfectly normal for someone like Su Muyan, who conceals his pure yang physique and innate sword bone, to have had some opportunities over the years.

Li Guang asked, "Is his soul still original? Has it been possessed?"

"This... is rather strange, it feels like it's been fused together."

Lu Jinghong didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"It's like half of him and half of him isn't him."

Li Guang wanted to ask more questions, but the secret realm had already opened, so she quickly retrieved her anti-peeping magic treasure and disappeared from the spot under the effect of the secret realm token on her body.

Before Lu Jinghong could even grab Li Guang, she had already disappeared.

Soon, nearly a thousand people entered the secret realm, leaving a large area empty.

Lan Yuan stared at the empty space, lost in thought. He had suddenly felt uneasy and decided it was best not to appear in public for the time being.
