Lingyun Sect

Chapter 11: Lingyun Sect

Translator: Krukist

Facing Ling Feiwu's strike, Li Qing didn't even have time to react. Even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it. He took the hit head-on, his face turning red from the impact.

"Bang!"

Li Qing was sent flying, crashing into the ground far away, causing the entire pavilion to shake. He spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ling Feiwu in disbelief.

"Junior Sister, you...?"

Li Qing couldn't believe that Ling Feiwu would attack him. Could it be that she coveted the position of the eldest disciple and wanted to kill him to take his place?

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Feiwu was even more shocked. Instead of answering Li Qing, she muttered to herself, "The Sect Master wasn't lying. Senior Brother truly possesses a terrifying physique!"

Although Ling Feiwu hadn't used her full strength in that strike, she had still used a tenth of her power. As an expert at the General Realm, even a tenth of her strength was enough to easily kill an ordinary person. With her control, it should have been enough to incapacitate him.

Yet, Li Qing only spat out a mouthful of blood before staggering to his feet. Although injured, he was far from being severely wounded.

"Senior Brother, Feiwu is doing this for your own good!" Ling Feiwu looked at the indignant Li Qing, a playful smile flashing across her face as she blinked mischievously.

???

You're hitting me for my own good?

Junior Sister, don't you know that fat people are very shrewd?

With this kind of attitude, it's clear that you're after the position of the eldest disciple of the Immortal Sect, wanting to kill me to take my place!

Li Qing's face was a mix of emotions as he stared at Ling Feiwu, trying to figure out how to escape this situation. Other than seeking help from the Sect Master, there was no other way. But as a mere mortal, how could he escape from his junior sister's grasp?

"Senior Brother, the Sect Master said you have a peerless physique and asked me to spar with you. As long as I don't kill you, I can hit you as much as I want!" Seeing Li Qing's continued skepticism, Ling Feiwu quickly explained.

???

Peerless physique?

Since when did I, Li Qing, have such a thing?

"Did I do something wrong to offend the Sect Master?" Li Qing glanced at Ling Feiwu and cautiously asked.

"You really do have a peerless physique!" Hearing Li Qing's words, Ling Feiwu was both amused and exasperated, then spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Could it be that I'm actually a peerless genius?" Seeing Ling Feiwu's extremely serious expression, Li Qing's eyes lit up as he thought to himself.

"Then why am I still a mortal? Shouldn't a peerless genius cultivate as easily as drinking water?"

"Because your physique hasn't been activated yet!"

"How do I activate it?"

"By being beaten!"

???

If it weren't for Ling Feiwu's extremely serious expression, Li Qing would have suspected that she was deliberately messing with him or finding an excuse to hit him. It seemed that his junior sister really was after the position of the eldest disciple!

"Bang!"

While Li Qing was lost in thought, Ling Feiwu didn't forget her purpose. With a graceful movement, she appeared in front of Li Qing in an instant and struck him with her palm. Li Qing was sent flying once again, crashing into the ground far away.

"Junior Sister! How about we let the Sect Master handle this?" Li Qing felt that if this continued, he might really be beaten to death by Junior Sister Feiwu.

"The Sect Master is afraid he might accidentally kill you with a single strike, so he asked me to temper you first!" Ling Feiwu smiled playfully, her voice soft and sweet.

If one ignored the surging Mystic Energy in her hand, Ling Feiwu's sweet smile and gentle voice would have been enough to captivate Li Qing.

"Ah… Junior Sister, take it easy, show some mercy!"

"Stop… hitting me."

The pavilion where Li Qing resided was soon filled with his wails, enough to move anyone who heard them to tears.

Coincidentally, Wang Feng, who had come to check if Ling Feiwu was diligently carrying out her task, heard the cries and smiled with satisfaction. With such a helpful junior sister, Li Qing would surely activate his physique and become a peerless genius.

Satisfied, Wang Feng turned and returned to his Sect Master's hall.

...…

Less than a thousand miles from the valley where the Divine Immortal Sect was located stood a towering peak named Lingxiao. On this peak, a series of palaces were arranged in a hierarchical manner. Anyone who set foot here would surely marvel at the celestial atmosphere.

This cluster of palaces was the renowned Lingyun Sect, a prominent force in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range. Although not well-known throughout the Radiant Sun Empire, the Lingyun Sect was a major power in the surrounding areas of the Starry Mountain Range.

At this moment, Chen Feng, the Sect Master of the Lingyun Sect, who had reached the Entering Sovereign Realm, sat solemnly on his throne, looking at the many elders of the sect below him.

"Sect Master, the Demon Sealing Conference is about to begin, but Chen Xin has yet to break through to the General Realm. This time, it seems our Lingyun Sect won't be able to make it onto the Demon Sealing Ranking!" The Grand Elder, Qiu Wanfeng, spoke gravely, his voice resonating throughout the hall.

Hearing Qiu Wanfeng's words, the elders of the Lingyun Sect all wore solemn expressions.

"The Demon Sealing Conference is of utmost importance. No matter what, our Lingyun Sect must strive to participate. The Demon Sealing Ranking is directly related to whether we can join the Radiant Sun Academy. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity!"

"But this time, that person has decreed that only the younger generation can participate in the Demon Sealing Conference, unlike before. Within our Lingyun Sect, apart from Chen Xin, who has reached the peak of the Spirit Communion Realm, there are no other disciples at the peak of the Spirit Communion Realm. How can we compete with the prodigies of other major sects?"

Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as he spoke gravely.

"Has anything notable happened recently in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range?"

"The Ling family of Yaofeng City was annihilated by the Marquis of Changlin. The eldest daughter of the Ling family fled to the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range and is being pursued by the young Marquis of Changlin. The outcome is still unknown," Grand Elder Qiu Wanfeng replied promptly.

"Such a talent appearing in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range is an opportunity for our Lingyun Sect. Perhaps we can have this unknown genius represent our Lingyun Sect in the Demon Sealing Conference, securing a ranking for us!"

Chen Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he spoke with urgency.

"Sect Master, this plan is feasible!"

"Indeed, a young General Realm cultivator could still secure a spot on the Demon Sealing Ranking!"

"If they belong to a minor sect, bring them back first, then annihilate their sect and make them stay with our Lingyun Sect permanently!"

"Understood!" Grand Elder Qiu Wanfeng cupped his hands, showing no discomfort but rather a sense of inevitability.

Such things were common in the Immortal Continent. Sometimes, a minor sect producing a prodigy wasn't a blessing but a curse.

"Handle this matter personally!" Chen Feng glanced at Qiu Wanfeng, his eyes narrowing as he instructed.
