Among all the disciples heading to the Myriad Beast Cave this time, Ling Xiao's seniority and strength were the highest, so he was allowed to lead the team this time.
Ling Xiao did not have any objections to this. He did not expect himself to be able to command others, but it was better than someone pointing fingers at him.
Ling Xiao followed the instructions and brought a group of elites from the Purple Sky Sect to the trial grounds of the Purple Maple Valley when he first entered the sect.
As for why they had to go to the Purple Maple Valley, Mu Huai had already told Ling Xiao beforehand.
This was the only transmission array in the Purple Sky Sect and even the entire area under their jurisdiction.
Ling Xiao had long read about the use of transmission arrays in some books.
A transmission array was a teleportation array created by a formation master and a Heavenly Venerable. It could allow a person to be teleported tens of thousands of miles away in an instant, provided that there was a node on the other side of the transmission array. It wasn't as if one could teleport them to anywhere they wanted.
Furthermore, every time they used the transmission array, they would need to consume a lot of energy from a high-grade beast core. Therefore, if there was nothing major, no one would easily use the transmission array.
The location of the transmission array was actually near the pool in the depths of the Purple Maple Valley.
Seeing this, Bing Ruoshui's face turned red. She stared at Ling Xiao for a long while before saying, "You still remember what you did. In any case, you have to take responsibility for me!"
Ling Xiao knew what she was talking about, and could only laugh dryly, "Isn't that a misunderstanding?"
He thought to himself, "Back then, he was still shouting about fighting and killing, why did he call this young master responsible this time?
Forget it, this young master will just suffer a bit and be responsible for the bed.
Yu Lieyan, who was beside Ling Xiao, said with a resentful look in her eyes, "Didn't you eat her long ago?"
Ling Xiao choked on her words and coughed repeatedly. He glared at her and said, "If I want to eat, I'll eat you first."
In exchange, Yu Lieyan laughed foolishly, "It's best if you eat me now. In any case, I'll be following you for the rest of my life."
At the same time, he threw a mesmerizing look at Ling Xiao, causing Ling Xiao's entire body to heat up.
Ling Xiao had met the old man overseeing the transmission array once before and had a deep impression of him.
The old man was still riding on the White Snow Ox. He held a flute in his hand and looked at Ling Xiao and the others leisurely.
Ling Xiao bowed to the old man before explaining the purpose of his visit.
The old man had already received the notice. He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Come with me." He paused for a moment and said, "I used to think that you were quite slippery, but I didn't expect you to have a bit of Tenbin. I hope that you can all return safely in two months."
Ling Xiao smiled but didn't reply. He thought to himself, "Didn't I just take half a cow tendon vine from you? You still remember it? What a stingy old man."
Ling Xiao and his disciples followed the old man into the waterfall on the mountainside.
Ling Xiao really didn't expect that the transmission array would actually be built in such a hidden place. It was really a completely different world!
They had just entered the cave when the old man ordered, "All of you, stand inside."
Ling Xiao and the others didn't have any objections and they all walked ten meters into the cave.
When Ling Xiao and the others were in position, the old man held a few shining Beast Cores in his hand and threw them all into the empty slot on the wall of the cave.
Swoosh!
When all the Beast Cores fell into the empty slot, a strange sound was heard and a screen of light appeared before Ling Xiao and the others. After that, besides the old man, everyone else in the cave disappeared.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiao didn't know that he had suddenly appeared in a completely unfamiliar place.
"Welcome to the Thousand Beast City!" A sweet voice rang out.
They saw a highly attractive young lady in her twenties bowing her body to greet Ling Xiao and the others.
Ling Xiao and the others were startled and they smiled at the serving girl and asked, "This is the Thousand Beast City?"
The serving girl replied politely, "Yes, may I know where the few of you are from?"
Ling Xiao pulled out the token and said, "We are from the Purple Heaven Sect, may I ask where the people from our sect are?"
"So you are our distinguished guests from the Purple Heaven Sect. Please come with me, your Elder has been waiting for a long time!" The serving girl looked at Ling Xiao's token and then gestured for him to follow.
Ling Xiao nodded and followed the maid. At the same time, he began to look around.
He saw that the place they were transported to was not like the Purple Heaven Sect which was a cave, but before a city gate. The people guarding the transmission array were two Spirit Master level experts and the serving girl was a high level Spirit Cultivator.
Ling Xiao and the others couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that the Thousand Beast City was a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Ling Xiao and the others followed the serving girl and found that there were several large courtyards on both sides of the main road. From afar, they looked extraordinary and there was a strong aura emanating from them.
Ling Xiao had wanted to spread out his mind power to test it out but he hesitated and did not dare to do so.
If he was discovered, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Finally, the maidservant led Ling Xiao and the others to a courtyard that was much smaller than the buildings they had seen before.
The serving girl called out to the courtyard, "The Lord of the Purple Heaven Sect has arrived!"
Immediately after, a middle-aged man walked out from the courtyard.
This middle-aged man was the newly promoted Elder, Xing Zhantian.
Xing Zhantian had obtained Ling Xiao's King Ruining Elixir and had successfully broken through to the King level, becoming the new Elder of the Purple Heaven Sect.
Ling Xiao had not thought that Xing Zhantian would be arranged to come here and he immediately exclaimed, "Chief Xing, why are you here?"
When Xing Zhantian saw Ling Xiao, he nodded happily and then took out a low grade Glazed Crystal and placed it in the serving girl's hand. The serving girl smiled and left.
"Elder Ling, you're here. Hurry in, Elder Xiao and the others were just nagging about you!" Xing Zhantian said to Ling Xiao, his face full of smiles.
He was grateful to Ling Xiao from the bottom of his heart. If not for Ling Xiao's elixir, he would not have been able to become an Elder so quickly.
Ling Xiao followed behind Xing Zhantian and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Chief Xing, our sect's place is so shabby, but those buildings we saw just now are really extraordinary. I think we should make it more impressive than they are."
When Xing Zhantian, who was walking in front, heard this, he staggered and nearly fell.
His expression was a little off as he said, "Elder Ling, don't speak so loudly. Let's go inside first and you'll know what's going on later."
Ling Xiao and the others did not understand and did not pursue the matter.
Within a large hall in the courtyard, the previous generation Elder of Wooden Flag Peak, Xiao Songlin, sat at the very center. Beside him were two white-haired, youthful looking elders.
Ling Xiao and the other true disciples did not recognize these two elders. They were actually the two previous generation Elders who guarded the Spirit Gathering Pagoda.
The two of them were blood-related brothers, but they usually referred to each other as senior and junior brothers. The senior brother was Wu Youlai, and the junior brother was Wu Youqu.
In addition, the daughter of the sect master, Yun Mengqi, was also sitting in the hall. Opposite her was a young man.
This was the first time Ling Xiao had seen this young man, but when he sensed his baleful blood aura, Ling Xiao's heart palpitated and he thought to himself, 'This person's killing intent is so heavy!'
Seeing that this person was sitting on the same level as Yun Mengqi and had an arrogant expression on his face, it was clear that this person's status was not ordinary.
Ling Xiao and the others first bowed to the people in the hall and then stood in the middle of the hall to await further instructions.
Xiao Songlin nodded without a smile and said to Ling Xiao with a benevolent smile, "Xiao Er, have a seat." He then turned to Xing Zhan Tian and instructed, "Zhan Tian, tell them about the situation here first."
Xing Zhan Tian nodded and turned his head to the seated disciples to say, "This Thousand Beast City is already tens of thousands of miles away from our Purple Sky Sect. It is the central area of our northwest region, which is where you will be holding the Sect Oath Assembly. Now, you all have three days to move around. In these three days, you are only allowed to move around within the city. There are all kinds of unimaginable high grade Spirit Herbs, Profound Skills, Profound Armaments ….. As long as you can think of it, it can be found here. You can use Profound Crystals to purchase them, or you can use items of the same grade to trade with others. But you must remember one thing, you are not allowed to use violence within the Thousand Beast City, or not only will you suffer, but even our Purple Sky Sect will not be able to withstand it. Everyone must remember to avoid conflict with others, or you will be expelled from the sect.
Do you all understand? "All the disciples of the Purple Sky Sect answered in unison," Understood! "
"Alright, I will bring you to settle you down first. Later, you can look around the city, or you can cultivate in your rooms!" Xing Zhan Tian said.
He had just finished speaking when Xiao Songlin said, "Xiao Er, you stay."
Ling Xiao who had just stood up nodded and sat down again.
"Xiao Er, you are a Fourth Grade Alchemist. Later, you can go around the city and have a look. There are many Spirit Herbs that you will not be able to find. Here are ten thousand pieces of low grade Profound Crystals. Take them and see if there are any suitable Spirit Herbs for you. You will be able to refine more high grade elixirs in the future!" Xiao Songlin was very generous and he gave Ling Xiao ten thousand pieces of low grade Profound Crystals with a wave of his hand.
The eyes of the hot-blooded young man at the side twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. In fact, his heart was filled with an unconcealable envy.
Ling Xiao accepted it bluntly and replied, "Don't worry Grand Master, Xiao Er knows what to do!"
"Junior Brothers, as elders, aren't you going to say something?" Xiao Songlin smiled at Wu Youlai and Wu Youqu.
Wu Youlai and Wu Youqu smiled bitterly. Their respective spatial rings flashed at the same time, and another pile of Profound Crystals appeared in front of them.
"Take it, kid. I hope you will gain something from this Sect Oath Assembly and break through to the King level as soon as possible. The future of our sect depends on you young people!" Wu Youlai said.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you elders for your kindness." After saying that, he kept all the Xuan Crystals.
"Alright, you can go now. If you want to go out, remember to call Zhan Tian. He will be responsible for your safety," Xiao Songlin said.
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Disciple understands."
He then turned and left the hall.
At this time, Yun Mengqi cupped her hands to Xiao Songlin, Wu Youlai, and Wu Youqu, and then chased after Ling Xiao.
"Xiao, wait for me!" Yun Mengqi called out to Ling Xiao who was walking out.
Ling Xiao stopped and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come as well."
Yun Mengqi didn't hesitate and took Ling Xiao's hand and said, "I didn't need to come, but my father told me to come out and broaden my horizons, so I came first."
"That's good too. Let's go out together," Ling Xiao said.
Yun Mengqi nodded obediently and then went out with Ling Xiao.
