Chapter 55 Internal Strife within the Fuyun Sword Sect
The guest quarters of the Fuyun Sword Sect are located on the northeast side of the mountaintop, consisting of hundreds of courtyards specifically for receiving guests.
It's hard to believe that a cultivation sect would set aside such a large area specifically for receiving guests.
Actually, the Fuyun Sword Sect has three factions, each governing a country. The Jiuhua Kingdom is managed by Elder Ye Yunbing, Wei Jing's master.
"The guest quarters of my Fuyun Sword Sect are just ahead. They are full of distinguished guests, so don't cause any trouble."
Before they even entered the reception area, Wei Jing was already warning Li Boyang.
Li Boyang dismissed Wei Jing's warning, but he had no interest in causing trouble. Once Ye Yunbing had arranged the teleportation array, he could leave.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Sister Jing'er? I heard you went to investigate the beast tide, how come you're back so soon?"
"What's it to you? A good dog doesn't block the way."
On their way to the guest house, a female disciple of the Fuyun Sword Sect approached the group of four. The woman's name was Liang Hong, and it was clear from her words that the two were not on good terms.
"Oh, still holding a grudge about your crushing defeat last time? Well, what can you do when you're just not as skilled?"
Liang Hong's words carried a hint of contempt that anyone could hear.
Sure enough, Wei Jing, being impulsive by nature, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this, drawing her sword on the spot and shouting:
"Don't push your luck, Yunhai Kingdom. If you're so capable, let's have another match in private."
"Junior sister, don't be impulsive. She's trying to provoke you."
Upon hearing Wei Jing's words, Ge Dongyuan quickly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Li Boyang, who had been observing indifferently from the sidelines, noticed something unspoken. Liang Hong used the word "we" in her speech, and Wei Jing wasn't targeting an individual, but rather an entire nation.
"Hee hee hee!"
Liang Hong covered her mouth with her delicate hand and chuckled for a while, then said in a disparaging tone:
"Okay, but both sides have to offer something as a wager, otherwise it won't be fun."
"Junior sister, don't fall for her tricks." Ge Dongyuan was getting anxious, grabbing Wei Jing's shoulder with one hand.
"They've gone too far, are you still going to cower like cowards? We have to fight, whether we like it or not."
Wei Jing pushed aside her two senior brothers, turned around and said to Liang Hong, "Let's set the time for tomorrow. Our Jiuhua Kingdom and your Yunhai Kingdom will have another competition."
"Then it's settled. Don't miss the martial arts arena tomorrow."
Liang Hong left with a laugh.
After Liang Hongren had disappeared from sight, Ge Dongyuan said, "Junior sister, you were too impulsive. He was obviously trying to provoke you."
Wei Jing said hatefully, "We absolutely cannot tolerate those guys from Yunhai Kingdom. Even if they are no match for me, I will knock out a couple of their teeth."
Ying Zhiwei suddenly said, "I support you. I heard that Wang Feng has been sent to Yunhai Kingdom on a mission. We may not necessarily lose."
Seeing that the outcome was already decided, Ge Dongyuan said, "Let's send Li Boyang to Yunluo Academy first, so people won't continue to laugh at us."
Yunluo Courtyard was a separate courtyard in the entire guesthouse complex. After the three of them settled Uncle Li inside, they began to talk.
"What a strange sect atmosphere."
After watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Li Boyang muttered something under his breath.
The atmosphere of the Fuyun Sword Sect was rather strange. In Li Boyang's mind, a sect should be united, friendly, and strive together for progress, but the Fuyun Sword Sect was clearly not like that.
From the brief conversation just now, we can tell that the three factions within the Fuyun Sword Sect represent three countries, and these countries are very likely sworn enemies.
And ninety-nine percent of the disciples of the Fuyun Sword Sect were selected from these three countries, yet they were able to exist well without the sect splitting up due to the relationship between the three factions.
He turned and went back into the courtyard. He decided to stop thinking about it since it was none of his business anymore. He just needed to wait for Ye Yunbing to sort out the teleportation array so he could leave the Fuyun Sword Sect.
Back in his room, lying on his bed, Li Boyang quietly pondered the future.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, just as the sun was beginning to rise.
Li Boyang began his morning lessons in the courtyard.
The pores on the body contracted and closed repeatedly during the movement, and between the opening and closing, a milky white mist faintly rose around the body, and all 84,000 pores on the body were breathing freely.
With each breath, my heartbeat grew stronger, gradually becoming more powerful. As my heart strengthened, its ability to produce blood also increased, and my physical condition improved day by day.
"It's almost at its limit, it's almost there."
He could sense that he was not far from undergoing the Tribulation of Body, and the strengthening of his heart was nearing its limit. After undergoing the Tribulation of Body, he would enter the Qi Refining Realm, and soon he would be able to see a new world.
"Young friend Boyang is quite diligent."
Ye Yunbing's voice came from not far away, and he arrived in front of Yunluo Courtyard in a short while.
Upon hearing the sound, Li Boyang stood with his feet together, raised his arms, and slowly pressed them to his chest, exhaling his last breath. He casually said:
"One day of practice yields one day of progress; one day without practice is a hundred days wasted, and a hundred days without practice is all for naught. There is no room for slackness."
