Ye Lingxuan was already an expert at the sixth level of the spiritual pedestal realm.
Her movement and strength had undergone a huge improvement.
She carried Master Lingkong with one hand, and with the other hand, she commanded the group of Green Dragon Sect disciples following behind her to quickly run towards a hidden valley in Green Dragon Sect.
She had discussed this with Victor beforehand.
Victor would be the one to pin down the Fire Sect Master, while she would lead the disciples of Green Dragon Sect to hide.
The reason for this was to make room for the battle between Victor and the Fire Sect Master, and also to protect the safety of the descendants of the sect.
Moreover, it was not only the descendants of Green Dragon Sect. At this moment, there were dozens of disciples from other sects who were also following Ye Lingxuan.
Lin Susu, Lin Bei, Zhou Xuan, Ye Manman, Ye Huanhuan, and the others were all included.
Although they had been drained of their spiritual power by the Fire Sect Master and had weak auras, they still had the strength to walk.
Therefore, with the help of the Green Dragon Sect disciples, they could still barely keep up with Ye Lingxuan’s footsteps.
Of course, when Lin Susu looked at Ye Lingxuan who was leading the way, her eyes were naturally filled with complicated emotions.
There were feelings of guilt towards scheming against Ye Lingxuan and Victor in the mystic realm.
There were also feelings of jealousy towards Ye Lingxuan’s promotion to the sixth level of the spiritual pedestal realm.
That’s right, when Ye Lingxuan appeared in front of them, they noticed that her strength had increased greatly.
Their faces were instantly gloomy.
Looks like there really was an unknown fortuitous encounter in the mystic realm. It was just a pity that they had escaped and the encounter was experienced by Ye Lingxuan instead…
It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous.
That was the sixth level of the spiritual pedestal realm!
Even the strongest among them, Lin Susu, was only at the peak of the second level of the spiritual pedestal realm.
She was still a long way from the sixth level of the spiritual pedestal realm.
Even if her cultivation path was smooth, she would still have to go through five to six years of cultivation.
When that time comes, with Ye Lingxuan’s talent, she might have already entered the core formation realm.
The difference between them was pulled apart at these few crucial events.
However, it was out of their power to do anything about it.
They knew that even if they were to go back in time, they would have still chosen to escape.
The four sect masters of the Central Plains… They were not opponents that they could deal with.
…
The four of them thought in silence. They did not whisper to one another, but were just silently walking…
Bypassing the rugged mountain road.
Since Ye Lingxuan was leading the way, the journey went smoothly.
They arrived at their destination at ease.
In a valley covered in thick fog.
“This is a hidden place in the Green Dragon Mountain.”
“The surrounding fog has its own function of isolating spiritual energy.”
“Everyone, don’t worry. Unless the Fire Sect Master intentionally investigates the area, he wouldn’t be able to find this place easily.”
Ye Lingxuan introduced the place to everyone. At the same time, she placed Master Lingkong on the empty space in front of her and then kneeled down respectfully.
“Your disciple came late, causing Grandmaster to suffer…”
Her voice was a little choked up as she spoke.
Ever since she was eight years old, Master Lingkong had taken a liking to her intelligence. He had kept her by his side and took good care of her.
It could be said that they were close enough to be families.
Now, seeing Master Lingkong with a weak aura and injuries all over his body, how could Ye Lingxuan not feel heartache?
The other disciples of the sect also fell silent when they saw Ye Lingxuan crying on the ground.
They surrounded Master Lingkong and looked at him solemnly with their heads lowered.
“All of you, get up. You’re all injured. Don’t bother with these formalities.”
Master Lingkong looked at the Green Dragon Sect disciples kneeling in front of him and said indifferently.
After the scene on the cloud platform, he now had a different view of the sect.
As he looked at the disciples again, there was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
He had never thought that after being the sect master for decades, only a few disciples like Guo Weiwei could stand up at the critical moment.
How could he not be heartbroken?
Though, who could he blame?
With a glance, he realized that he could not recognize most of the disciples surrounding him regardless of whether they were outer, inner or core disciples.
This meant that as he had been obsessed with the cultivation process all these years, he had indeed neglected his concern for the sect disciples.
It was all his fault.
It was just that he had never noticed this.
Thinking of this, Master Lingkong naturally let out a long sigh and said nothing else.
At such a critical moment, the most important thing was to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his head to look at Ye Lingxuan and said,
“Lingxuan, I was poisoned by a poison from the Central Plains.
“That poison is called subduing dragon powder.
“It can disperse the spiritual energy of the Green Dragon in my body, completely depleting my spiritual energy.
“The effect of this poison should only last for one or two days. Logically speaking, my body should have recovered by now.
“However, because that evil disciple of Wang Shuang made me inhale the poison every day. That’s why my spiritual energy hasn’t recovered even after so many days.
“Now, the effect from the most recent poisoning is ending soon.
“Try transferring some spiritual energy into my body. I’ll see if I can use your spiritual energy to break through the restriction of this poison and regain my strength.”
Master Lingkong spoke slowly as he explained the cause and effect of his poisoning to Ye Lingxuan.
After hearing his words, Ye Lingxuan hurriedly nodded. Then, she sat cross-legged behind Master Lingkong. In her dantian, she condensed her spiritual power and pushed her palm forward, directly transferring all the spiritual power in her body through Master Lingkong’s back!
The spiritual power at the sixth level of the spiritual pedestal realm was an unreachable target for the other disciples.
However, to Master Lingkong who was a core formation realm expert, it did not seem to be worthy of his attention.
However, this spiritual power was also from the Green Dragon Spiritual technique, which was the same spiritual power in Master Lingkong’s body.
Under the full power of Ye Lingxuan, Master Lingkong felt that the layer of gray fog that was originally shrouding his dantian gradually dispersed.
Following that, his dantian, which had been empty for many days, showed signs of recovery for the first time.
“Just follow this frequency. Xuan’er, don’t stop.”
A hint of joy appeared on the corner of Master Lingkong’s mouth as he said slowly.
“Alright!”
Ye Lingxuan readily agreed and then maintained the spirit energy transfusion in her hands without stopping.
The two of them maintained this process for almost a quarter of an hour.
During this process, everyone else held their breaths and sat silently through the process.
A quarter of an hour later.
Spiritual power burst out from Master Lingkong’s body, and a pale blue barrier appeared around him.
Third level of the core formation realm… His strength had recovered!
He slowly opened his eyes.
This time, a wave of invincible spiritual power surged in his eyes.
Spiritual power started to ripple on his daoist robe.
The most amazing thing was that the wound caused by Wang Shuang started to heal.
“He’s back… Grandmaster… he’s finally back!”
The Green Dragon Sect disciples were so happy that they wept and shed tears of excitement.
Ling Kong, the Sect Master of the Green Dragon Sect who looked down on the world, had finally returned!
