Yan Sect

Even though both of them glared, they are curious to know about the strength of the sect that their baby joined. Especially Shen Jian, who has the most knowledge and even met cultivators previously.

"You all are a bit extremely nervous in front of the sect master! He is a relatively easygoing person and won't bother with many formalities." Shen Yue said as she saw Ning Qi altogether stop talking, unable to bear their enthusiasm.

"Just don't be overly formal with the sect master! He considers everyone with respect, especially those older than him, except Junior brother Kang, as he is the one that needed to treat the sect master." Shen Yue said again, causing all of them to nod their heads, as though they are chickens pecking rice. They also need some time to get used to that, and Shen Yue also knows this and couldn't bother to persuade them anymore.

"According to the sect master, the senior brother can fight against a Qi refining layer 5 cultivator pretty easily without activating his divine technique. But once he activates it, he has the chance to win against a level 9 Qi refining cultivator too."

Shen Yue said, making all of them surprised by it a bit, but not by too much. After all, even Shen Yue can win against them, not to mention her senior brother of her.

"Even though I believed that your senior brother is powerful enough to be able to fight against a grandmaster-level cultivator. But! I didn't think he is already at the peak of it... Sigh! Cultivators are truly so different from us. What about the sect master then? " Shen Jian said and asked at the same time, especially wanting to know the strength of the sect master. He knows Ning Qi must be at least a foundation realm cultivator to have such disciples.

" I-I don't know the exact strength of sect master! Even the senior brother or junior brother equally doesn't know the exact strength, B-but from what we understood, the sect master is at a too high level, probably at least a soul transformation realm cultivator or even probably a True Qi Condensation realm. " Shen Yue said, as she remembered Nangong Xu's wild stories about the sect master.

Also! She remembered the day that she entered the sect. That day Ning Qi branded them with a unique 'seal', which probably needs soul cultivation. According to the Astral Qi cultivation technique, even nascent soul realm cultivators cannot brand other people with their souls, and only those in the Soul transformation realm can do it as easily as Ning Qi did.

From that, the trio deduced, that Ning Qi is at least in the soul transformation realm or even at higher realms. If Ning Qi were to grasp their thoughts, he would kick them all in the bu** for having such wild thoughts, which may bring endless troubles if the word goes out.

After saying that Shen Yue looked at the three confused faces in front of her with a bewildered expression.

"What is a soul transformation realm and True Qi condensation realm? Yue." Shen Tian asked, seeing his father is also in confusion.

"Ah! hehe, I forgot that you all only know up to the golden core realm! " Shen Yue said with a light laugh, as the fuse in her mind lit up finally.

"Actually! The golden core realm is not the end of the cultivation path after that comes the Nascent soul realm, then the Soul transformation realm, the True Qi condensation realm, and the Void realm. A void realm cultivator can live up to 20 thousand years and probably all the nuclear weapons in the world won't be able to kill them... " Shen Yue slowly explained about the cultivation world, as though narrating a story, making them feel excited just listening to such a marvelous world.

"Sigh! That's why my father said that cultiva-" Shen Jian sighed and was about to recite the words that his father used to say, but this time he was instantly got cut off by his son, making him swallow those words back.

"Stop it, father! You already muttered those words so many times. It's quite embarrassing to listen to." Shen Tian said, making both Shen Yue and her mother laugh, after noting the old man's face, which looks like ready to beat the hell out of his son."Wait, Grandpa! I have something important to request about." Shen Yue suddenly said as she saw that this son and father were about to start about.

"Oh! What is it, Yue? If there is anything we can do to help sect master Ning! It is the blessing of our Shen family. Tell me! Even though we have lost so much of our power already, we are still at the top in Yangshou. " Shen Jian hastily altered his face from angry to solemn, as he heard Shen Yue.

Shen Tain also bobbed his head, ready to complete whatever task his father will assign him.

"Hm! The reason we came here this time is... W-we are participating in an underground match, that is happening secretly in our city. It is a mission that the sect master assigned us, he already registered us for the match... But don't worry all our opponents are at level 1 only. Therefore we have a 100% chance to succeed against them. It's just that sect master wants to find out, who is the ones that are conducting these and a bit about their background." Shen Yue hurriedly explained, not requiring her family to worry too much.

"Oh! That's excellent, how can one become powerful without facing any significant battles? Sect master Ning is genuinely a worthy teacher. " Shen Jian said, as he felt this kind of weak enemy is not hard for his granddaughter to win against.

"But-" Shen Yue's mother wanted to express something, as she felt concerned for her daughter. But Shen Yue hurriedly held her, consoling her to not worry too much. Shen Tian also got worried a bit, but ultimately decided to support his daughter's decision.

"Alright! We at present know the ones that are conducting these battle matches are Yan Sect, which is an extremely powerful sect in the martial arts world. They are said to have at least 4 to 5 grandmaster-level cultivators... B- but there is even more to them, as there is a rumor that the Yan sect is intimately linked to a cultivation sect." Shen Jian explained what they had gathered so far, which completely satisfies Shen Yue.

"That's ok Grandpa, We Taohua sect never fear anyone. As long as they don't cross our paths, everything will go smoothly." Shen Yue said boastingly, completely satisfying her vanity. If Ning Qi was over here, he would start teaching this disciple, who may lead to so much trouble with such boasting.

"Oh! That's good then, that's good then." Shen Jian nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Ok! Father, Let's go and spar a bit... After that, I will also take some rest. " Shen Yue said before lugging him along to a different hall, leaving behind an awkward Shen Jian, who doesn't when he will become the scapegoat. Shen Yue's mother looked apologetically at Shen Jian, before following them too.

"Cultivators are indeed different from - Ahem!" Shen Jian coughed himself, as he felt that he is misusing it as slang and instantly got embarrassed by it.

At lunchtime, everyone again gathered, with even more dishes than morning breakfast. That time, Shen Yue slowly explained what her grandfather informed her, along with the inputs from both Shen Jian and his son.

"Hm! Sect master, It's almost 2 in the afternoon. At best, the matches will start at 5 in the evening. Shall we go there beforehand and observe the matches first, so that we can obtain some ideas on how the matches go, overall." Kang Xuan suggested, to which Nangong Xu hurriedly nodded his head, as he wanted to go out to explore.

"Alright! " Ning Qi agreed, as he felt It was a constructive suggestion and he also got quite interested in these matches.

At around 3 pm, everyone reached the location mentioned by the system. Even Shen Jian and Shen Tian followed them. Shen Yue's mother also wanted to follow, but Shen Yue instantly rejected her as she know that once her mother saw those death matches, she will never let her to participate in such a bloody matches.
