Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Four Symbols Sect (First Update)

After calling the hotel front desk, the information received was that Zhao Yi did indeed return, but only to pick up something, and then hurriedly left. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Hanging up the phone, Liu Zixuan waved his hand and said, "He probably has some personal matters to deal with. It’s not too far from here to the Land of the Far North; maybe he went back to accompany his wife!"

He didn’t disappear right after the martial arts tournament; he showed up at the hotel, so Liu Zixuan and the others didn’t really suspect anything.

Soon, Huzi brought out the prepared dishes, and everyone sat down to eat and drink.

After a few rounds of drinks, Liu Zixuan asked, "By the way, I still don’t know what sect you became an elder of!"

Jiang Yunxuan chuckled and replied, "It’s the Four Symbols Sect. Before the New Year, while traveling through Star Sea with Huzi, we stumbled into the territory of the Four Symbols Sect. During that time, we had a fight, and Huzi and I defeated all their elders, and then their Sect Leader appeared."

"The Sect Leader’s realm is very high, seemingly a Half-Step Emperor Realm. We thought we were in for a tough battle, but unexpectedly, the Sect Leader didn’t mind us beating their elders and even invited us to become their elders."

Liu Zixuan’s lips twitched, "That Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect is quite clever."

"No doubt about it, after spending some time with them, it’s clear that the Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect is not an ordinary person, but rather upright with no ill intentions. So Huzi and I stayed for quite a while, and the entire sect treated us well, plus the Sect Leader helped us improve our realms."

Continuing, Jiang Yunxuan pointed at Huzi, "That guy just broke through to the Imperial Realm recently. Look at him now."

When he entered, Liu Zixuan hadn’t noticed, but now, after Jiang Yunxuan’s mention, he realized that Huzi, who was originally at the Imperial Realm Early Stage, had already reached the Imperial Realm Middle Stage, seemingly about to break through to the Peak.

He then turned back to Jiang Yunxuan and burst out laughing, "Bringing up Huzi, you just want to flaunt yourself!"

"That guy’s a freak!" Huzi cursed in discontent, "I just reached the Middle Stage in such a short time, and the Sect Leader of the Four Symbols Sect called me a genius. But who would have thought, this fool Jiang Yunxuan broke through to the Peak in one go! It’s like he doesn’t even have a bottleneck in his realm!"

Jiang Yunxuan grinned, "Fool Huzi, if you’re jealous, just say so instead of using such unpleasant words!"

Liu Zixuan was pleased; no matter what, all his brothers around him had made breakthroughs recently. In these tumultuous times of the Martial Realm, it was definitely a good thing.

"Brother Xuan, we all made some progress, but I feel you’re still at your previous realm!" Huzi mumbled.

Liu Zixuan was slightly stunned, "The higher you go, the harder it is to break through; you can’t rush these things!"

He didn’t mention his own breakthrough, not because he didn’t trust Huzi and Jiang Yunxuan, but in such an environment, caution was necessary. Since he had hidden his strength, he intended to keep it hidden.

He was also worried that in this small rustic inn, someone might overhear, which wouldn’t be good.

Liu Zixuan didn’t continue talking about himself but looked at Jiang Yunxuan, "I feel your aura isn’t just at the Peak of Imperial Realm, and Huzi just mentioned that you had no bottleneck when breaking through, this..."

"That’s right, it’s related to that Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant." Jiang Yunxuan nodded and said, "Since it integrated into my body, I’ve felt the energy inside me is abundant."

"Plus, after some guidance from the Sect Leader of the Four Symbols Sect, I quickly reached the Peak of Imperial Realm. While breaking through this stage, I slightly comprehended some Heaven and Earth elements, so now I can almost achieve invincibility against martial artists of the same realm, except for those abnormal talents."

Jiang Yunxuan pointed at Liu Zixuan, "For example, someone like you. Even though I’m very strong now, I can still feel that I’d lose against you!"

"Of course, even riding a rocket, you wouldn’t catch up to Brother Xuan," Huzi said disdainfully.

"Fool!"

"Damn, you’re cursing me again!"

Alright, these two really were like rivals; as soon as they disagreed, they started to wrestle near the dining table.

Liu Zixuan helplessly watched the two of them, "Only with them can I be a little happy, but I’m afraid later... there’ll be headaches!"

"Both sides want to pull you in, but since you don’t want to choose, why don’t we just stay here tonight and not see anyone?" Ye Lianyi suggested.

Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly and pointed outside, smiling meaningfully, "Multiple groups have already entered this farmhouse."

"Impossible!"

Jiang Yunxuan, still wrestling on the ground, said immediately, "The entire farmhouse has been rented out by the Four Symbols Sect, and there are disciples watching at the gate. If anyone comes in, I’d definitely know first!"

Liu Zixuan smiled, "What’s the realm of the Four Symbols Sect disciples guarding the gate?"

"King Realm..." Jiang Yunxuan said this with a hint of uncertainty.

Those coming for Liu Zixuan must be high-realm experts. Having several King Realm martial artists guard the gate, how could they stop those people? They could enter quietly.

After speaking, Jiang Yunxuan pushed Huzi away and got up from the ground, frowning, "I’ll go check outside. If they’ve hurt my Four Symbols Sect disciples, I must find justice for them!"

"I’ll go too!" Without hesitation, Huzi followed Jiang Yunxuan out.

Ye Lianyi frowned, "If they go out like this and a fight really breaks out, Yunxuan and Huzi might not gain any advantage."

"If I’m fine, they naturally won’t be in trouble." Liu Zixuan playfully squeezed Ye Lianyi’s jade-like hand, "You think the Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect chose them to be elders because it was that simple?"

Ye Lianyi suddenly understood, "The appearance of the Four Symbols Sect here is undoubtedly to participate in the martial arts tournament. Thus, they also belong to the Scattered Sects Alliance. To put it bluntly, the Sect Leader chose Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi as elders not just for their talent, but more because of you!"

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Whether sect or legacy, elders who walk step by step with the sect or the legacy, or those who were alongside the Sect Leader conquering the world, are chosen as elders. Yunxuan and Huzi, having newly arrived, haven’t contributed to the Four Symbols Sect. How could they be made elders immediately?"

"Of course, my personal guess is there’s another reason for choosing them as elders."

"What?" Ye Lianyi asked.

"The Four Symbols Sect should be a medium-sized sect, at least I hadn’t heard of them before. Their disciples probably aren’t strong. Having Yunxuan and Huzi participate in the martial arts tournament, if they get recognized by a Hidden Sect, it would undoubtedly strengthen the Four Symbols Sect..."
