Sometimes, It Is Better Not To Know Certain Things Ahead Of Time

A terrifying aura that seemed to slightly shake the space emerged from Na Wuyi, heading towards Mio Yidan without a second thought. 

"Golden core stage!" 

Shang Moyu exclaimed startled inwardly and unhesitatingly expelled all of his aura belonging to the foundation establishment as well to protect Mio Yidan as he pulled her by her arm to place her behind him. 

Hu Xuo and another young man expelled their auras from the foundation establishment as well to counter Na Wuyi's aura. 

"Stupid..." 

Na Wuyi sneered under his breath upon seeing Shang Moyu's futile action of resisting his aura when the next moment he felt a terrifying sense of danger. 

Na Wuyi's aura stopped without a second thought and he withdrew it. His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, while his back was completely drenched in cold sweat. 

"Brother, what's wrong?" 

One of the guys near Na Wuyi noticed his strange behavior and asked in confusion. 

Even Shang Moyu frowned as he saw Na Wuyi stopped, but inwardly he let out a sigh of relief. 

Na Wuyi did not respond as he looked around more than ten times with his spirit sense, searching for any trace of someone else hiding. The cold sweat did not stop at any time. 

'A powerful golden core senior expert?' Na Wuyi couldn't help but think in fright as he swallowed with difficulty. His power had barely reached the golden core early stage, and a cultivator from the golden core middle stage could certainly kill him easily. 

Although Na Wuyi did not find anything strange or traces of any experts nearby, the feeling of death still gazed at him, as if a pair of eyes were focused on him and watching his every move, waiting for him to move so that the next moment his life would be harvested. 

"L-let's go!" Na Wuyi's voice trembled briefly at first before directing his flying sword and passing over Shang Moyu's group and the others, "We're already close, the rest are probably there!" 

Na Wuyi quickly flew over his flying sword, leaving the others somewhat dumbfounded. But seeing that Na Wuyi was gone they quickly followed him, throwing a few more glances at Shang Moyu and the rest before following Na Wuyi. 

"T-they really left?" 

Seeing Na Wuyi and the others leaving, one muttered in disbelief before collapsing to the ground as he lost strength in his legs. 

The others also relaxed and couldn't help but let out sighs of relief. 

Mio Yidan's little face was somewhat pale as she had felt Na Wuyi's powerful aura about to fall on her, fully understanding that she might die if she was caught, so she couldn't help but panic at that moment. 

"Senior brother, was it you?" 

Seeing that the trouble had ended without a worry, Shang Moyu looked at Ling Tian and whispered. 

Clearly Na Wuyi had sensed the presence of a superior and very powerful expert on the spot, his expression completely betrayed him. That was why Na Wuyi had left without causing trouble, not wanting to attract the attention of the powerful expert in question. 

And they had low cultivation levels, and Ling Tian was the only one who had a higher cultivation than all of them, probably reaching the golden core stage as well. 

Although Shang Moyu didn't sense any trace of aura on Ling Tian that would indicate that he silently made the move, he still couldn't help but think that it was his action. 

Ling Tian looked at Shang Moyu and smiled causally at him, neither confirming nor denying his question. 

Shang Moyu quickly understood and cupped his fists silently, while whispering to Ling Tian, "Thank you, senior brother!" 

Shang Moyu realized that Ling Tian did not want everyone else to know. 

Then, several distant auras spread out, being able to be perceived by most. 

"It must have been that they were frightened when they sensed the other auras nearby!" 

"We were very lucky this time!" 

"Is everyone alright?" 

"I think so!" 

Realizing that other auras were approaching, everyone came to the conclusion that Na Wuyi had left upon seeing that they were not completely alone. Although they didn't understand why he left in a hurry since he wouldn't be in trouble if he even killed them all due to the background of his sect, they were all relieved to see that it didn't happen that way. 

"We are already close to the place, if you don't want to miss the chance to compete for some treasures then we have to hurry." Ling Tian suddenly added, causing everyone else to look. 

"Senior brother is right! We have to hurry if we want to get something from the immortal goddess!" Shang Moyu nodded and encouraged his other teammates. 

Quickly, they all followed Ling Tian and Shang Moyu to the front, keeping alert of the surroundings as they stood together. 

Ling Tian stretched out his spirit sense silently, covering several kilometers in a short time. 

Several dozen cultivators were found within his spirit sense, most traveling in large groups while a few traveled in pairs or very small groups. Only a few were traveling alone, being solitary cultivators. 

All of them were heading in the direction Shang Moyu had told him. 

"I found you..." Ling Tian smiled faintly as his spirit sense found a person. 

Several kilometers away, Tang Jingtian was traveling on his flying sword together with his three wives, Yu Qing, Za Niu and Leng Zilan. 

Ling Tian looked in that direction, observing that the four of them were being surrounded by several cultivators wearing the same robes as his sect. 

However, Ling Tian was not worried and just causally observed the encounter. 

The strongest of the enemies was a cultivator at the foundation establishment late stage, while more of the rest following him were chi gathering stage cultivators, with only a few at the foundation establishment stage. 

Tang Jingtian was just as strong as Mu Shen, he too had superior nascent soul realm cultivation. Facing these enemies was no different from crushing an ant nest. 

"Senior Brother Ling, might I know what sect you come from?" 

Shang Moyu's voice attracted Ling Tian's attention, looking at him somewhat nervously. 

"If senior brother Ling doesn't want to answer, don't worry! It's just my curiosity!" Shang Moyu added shortly. He knew that asking about the origins of others can cause misunderstandings and annoyance. 

Still, Shang Moyu was very curious to know Ling Tian's origin, maybe he came from a sect in the state capital! 

Hu Xuo, Chang Yi, Mio Yidan and the others paid attention as they listened to Shang Moyu, sharpening their ears as they waited expectantly for what Ling Tian would say. 

Ling Tian smiled slightly at the sight of Shang Moyun and replied, "Most of my life I have wandered aimlessly, but currently I belong to a sect called Beyond Above The Heaven." 

"The Beyond Above The Heaven Sect?" 

Shang Moyu was stunned and perplexed as were the others listening to Ling Tian, then he couldn't help but ask somewhat embarrassed, "That sect is in the capital?" 

Shang Moyu couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed, scratching his head. His knowledge about the world was poor, and he didn't know all the sects, so Shang Moyu thought that a powerful sect that Ling Tian would come from could only be in the capital. 

Ling Tian laughed lightly and shook his head, "No, that sect is much farther away, but it is a somewhat big sect..." 

What would these young men think if he told them that the sect he was talking about was located in the north state? The state where the world's top powerhouses reside and the cultivation level is far superior compared to the south state? 

But Ling Tian kept his words to himself; sometimes, it is better not to know certain things ahead of time. 

"How many disciples are there in your sect, big brother?" However, Mio Yidan stepped forward again and she asked Ling Tian with a big smile, adding at once, "In our sect, there were more than a hundred disciples!" 

"More than a hundred members? Looks like your sect was something big." Ling Tian nodded and at once asked, "I really don't know exactly how many disciples there are in my sect, but it's definitely much more than a hundred disciples." 

Although he had been in the sect for a short time, Ling Tian had not seen all the members, nor did he know exactly how many disciples there were, especially after seeing that several had betrayed the sect's loyalty. And many more were banished from the sect or were out temporarily. 

But over the course of Ling Tian's time in the sect, he had superficially counted more than 300 disciples in total. 

That is why the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect could not be ranked as a top sect in the world, let alone enter the list of the top ten sects and holy lands in the north state, mainly because the members do not even reach one-fourth the number of disciples of the last ranked sect. 

The other famous sects have hundreds and thousands of disciples, with the top ones even having tens of thousands of members! 

Although the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect is only famous because his disciples are the leaders and are experts in the great ascension state, being better than several famous sects. 

Ling Tian obtained a lot of information from the research provided by the Little Violet Cloud Tower, when he asked Shin Wei to go and look for the information while he talked with all those women in his residence in the north state. 

His disciples' relationships with other famous sects also consolidated the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect's fame and prestige, which has gained momentum lately, especially with the lonely and untalented cultivators because there was no discrimination towards lack of talent. 

"Wow! Then it must be really big and strong!" Mio Yidan exclaimed full of surprise upon hearing Ling Tian's reply. Her sect was one of the strongest and most famous in this region, so knowing that there were other sects that were bigger and stronger surprised her. 

"Those guys from before, were they the ones who attacked and destroyed your sect?" 

Ling Tian smiled when he saw Mio Yidan's innocent expression, so he couldn't help but look at Shang Moyu and ask him seriously. 

"Yes, senior brother Ling. In fact, it was three sects together that attacked and destroyed our sect." 

Seeing Ling Tian's serious expression, Shang Moyu answered honestly. 

"May I know why?" Ling Tian hesitated slightly but in the end asked. 

"... it was because in the place where our sect was located, there was a very powerful spirit lake below, which helped us to cultivate faster and even improve our talents a little. Plus the fact that the sect master had been injured by a powerful wild beast, which caused his cultivation to fall and he couldn't recover in a short time... all that and, coupled with the greed towards our sect inheritance, the other sects colluded and decided to attack us." 

Shang Moyu clenched his fist in helplessness and anger, finally letting out a defeated and sad sigh.
