Chapter 383 - 381 Juying Peak

Chapter 383: Chapter 381 Juying Peak

“You didn’t ask! I can’t just introduce myself as a Seventh Grade Alchemist to everyone I meet.”

Zhong Lin spread his hands, looking innocent as he spoke.

Chu Yu opened his mouth but found he couldn’t really blame Zhong Lin. In the end, he just had to close his mouth helplessly.

“Enough about me. I see your strength has grown again. It seems you’ve gained quite a lot these days out there!” Zhong Lin said with a smile.

At these words, Chu Yu immediately lit up with excitement, “Of course! Joining the Holy Land made me realize that compared to shut-in seclusion, seeking opportunities through trials and battles is the best way to enhance one’s strength. Plus, with help from many senior sisters, there’s no need to worry about danger. Now my strength has increased several times compared to when I entered. At most, in two years, I will definitely break through to the Middle Xuan Dan. Recently, we discovered another opportunity. We are just returning to the Sect to rest and will head out in a few days. It’s a pity you’re not part of the Juying Association; otherwise, with your status as a Seventh Grade Alchemist, you’d definitely get a share.”

“Is it too late to join the Juying Association now?”

“A bit… wait, you… you want to join the Juying Association?”

Chu Yu suddenly turned to Zhong Lin, a look of surprise and delight on her face.

Zhong Lin nodded and said, “Over these days, I have figured out some of the rules of the Holy Land. Going solo isn’t conducive to personal growth. I was actually planning to have you introduce me to join, but I didn’t expect you’d come to me first.”

“That’s great. Come on, let’s go to Juying Peak now.”

With that, she pulled Zhong Lin and headed towards the door.

“Wait a moment, I need to prepare a few things first.”

Zhong Lin got up and returned to the secret chamber. After a while, he stepped out.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go.”

The two flew towards Juying Peak, and shortly afterward, they reached a towering peak thousands of meters high.

The entire Juying Peak was made of white stone that looked like jade. The peak was covered with variegated flowers and plants, colorful and fragrant, making one feel as if they had stepped into a sea of flowers.

It was indeed characteristic of a predominantly female force, favoring these flowers and plants.

“Who are you?”

“This is the vicinity of Juying Peak, outsiders are not allowed to fly near.”

Two sharp reprimands sounded, and then two graceful figures emerged.

“Senior Sister Gong Jing, Senior Sister Shi Ying.”

Chu Yu waved and greeted loudly.

“So it’s you, little monkey. Remember to use the main gate next time.”

The female disciple called Shi Ying, dressed in flowing white, laughed and scolded Chu Yu when she saw her.

Gong Jing, standing next to her, focused her gaze on Zhong Lin, frowned, and said, “Junior Sister Chu Yu, who is this?”

“Senior Sister, this is Zhong Lin, an Outer Disciple who joined and passed the entrance assessment with me. I am bringing him here to join our Juying Association.”

“Hmph! The Juying Association isn’t something that an Outer Disciple can join as they please, especially not a man. Besides, you have just joined the Juying Association yourself. What right do you have to do this?”

Gong Jing snorted coldly, looking at Chu Yu with dissatisfaction.

The Juying Association mainly consisted of women, and male disciples faced stricter conditions to join, hence their low numbers.

Gong Jing’s reprimand made Chu Yu’s face look displeased, and she retorted, “Senior Sister Gong Jing, are you unhappy because I took the membership spot your sister was aiming for?”

“How dare you.”

A flash of coldness appeared in Gong Jing’s eyes. She reached out with her right hand, and a long sword exuding chill appeared, pointing directly at Chu Yu.

“Sharp-tongued and ignorant of one’s place. Today, I will teach you a good lesson about rules.”

With these words, she stepped forward and thrust her sword at Chu Yu.

“I’m not afraid of you.”

Chu Yu also took out her own Lifebound Weapon, which turned out to be an Overlord Spear.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Gong Jing’s Treasure Sword suddenly emitted Sword Qi, clashing and extinguishing in the air, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

Chu Yu didn’t back down either. With a sweep of her Overlord Spear, she shattered the Sword Qi and pointed the spear blade into the void.

Boom!

The heavens and earth roared.

A hundred-meter-long spear light abruptly pierced the void, crashing towards Gong Jing’s back.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Gong Jing’s expression changed slightly, but she wasn’t alarmed. Her clothes emitted a faint red glow, causing Chu Yu’s spear light to be greatly hindered and unable to advance for a moment.

In the distance, Zhong Lin raised an eyebrow, noticing that Gong Jing was wearing a Spiritual Artifact armor.

Swoosh!

Just then, a crooked, dragon-snake-like grand Sword Qi tore through the void, aiming straight for Chu Yu’s forehead.

“Junior Sister, no!”

Watching from a distance, Shi Ying’s expression changed. If it were just a normal Martial Arts exchange, it might not be much, but Gong Jing’s move was clearly a killing blow, a conduct of internal strife she would not allow.

She flew forward to stop it.

But Zhong Lin was even faster. With a flash of sword light, he appeared in front of Chu Yu as if teleporting, extending his right hand and lightly tapping the Sword Qi with his index finger.

Hum!

One was a flesh-and-blood being, the other a sharp Sword Qi, yet the Sword Qi shattered on the spot, dissipating into the air.

Shi Ying appeared in front of Gong Jing at this moment, her face ugly, “Gong Jing, are you mad to use such a sinister move?”

Gong Jing knew she had gone a bit too far just now, especially since it was in front of Shi Ying. One must know that internal strife is a major taboo in the Sect, at least on the surface.

But she still retorted stubbornly, “I didn’t intend to kill her, just wanted to teach her a lesson.”

“Whether it was intended to kill, I’ll not decide. Come with me to see Senior Sister Night Rain.”

Gong Jing’s face finally changed, looking at Chu Yu with hatred.

Chu Yu’s face was also ugly at this point, and a sense of post-traumatic fear arose in her heart.

She hadn’t expected Gong Jing to dare to use such a deadly move. If it weren’t for Zhong Lin’s intervention, she would have either been severely injured or killed by that sword.

“Zhong Lin, thank you.”

“No thanks needed. Who is she? Why does she harbor such killing intent towards you?” Zhong Lin asked curiously.

“Just a madwoman. Joining the Juying Association requires an assessment. Her sister was also assessed with me that day but was not admitted because of her lack of strength, and she bears a grudge against me for it,” Chu Yu explained.

Their fight quickly attracted the attention of others, and shortly after, several figures flew out from Juying Peak. After understanding the situation, both Chu Yu and Gong Jing were taken away, and Shi Ying, as a witness, followed along, leaving Zhong Lin standing alone in confusion.

“What is this about?”

Zhong Lin looked bewildered.

Not long after, another figure flew out from Juying Peak.

“Are you Zhong Lin?”

“I am.”

“Come with me to the peak, Senior Sister Night Rain wants to see you.”

With that, the person turned and headed back to the Juying Association, and Zhong Lin, after thinking for a moment, followed after them.
