My Master Knows It All

Liao Youdi was the exception; she always addressed Xiang Ziyu as senior brother. It wasn't because she felt her own strength was sufficient to call him senior brother, but rather she had simply grown accustomed to it.

She, along with Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, joined the Hundred Peaks Sect at the same time, and even in the same city.

After entering the Hundred Peaks Sect, they studied at the same Academy, left the Academy at the same time, and maintained a very close relationship. Even though the trio weren't stationed on the same peak, they often met in the market—sometimes Duo Duo and Zhu Peng would visit her at Azure Pheasant Peak, but more often she would go to Four Treasures Peak to seek out Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, since it was quieter with fewer people.

Visiting Four Treasures Peak so often, she inevitably encountered Xiang Ziyu. Following Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, she too called out "senior brother". Before long, it became a habit.

When Xiang Ziyu heard Liao Youdi's question, he shook his head slightly and said, "What plans? I have no plans."

"No plans?" Liao Youdi was somewhat confused, "If you have no plans, then why, senior brother, did you ask them to accompany us?"

"Because of the protagonist's intuition," Xiang Ziyu, excited by her question, began a long speech: "They are from the West Barbarian tribes, so why is it that it is us who have encountered them? I'll tell you, there's something about this..."

Liao Youdi found she still didn't fully understand her senior brother Xiang Ziyu; she should've anticipated he would say something like this.

On board the Hundred Refined Sect's Flying Boat at this moment, a group of Cultivators from the Hundred Refined Sect had furrowed brows, looking at the two figures controlling their swords and flying outside the Flying Boat, causing them endless headache.

"The two of them are the ringleaders, they are truly among the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection."

"They are not simply of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection," Yu Sha looked at the two figures outside, sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Even through the Flying Boat, I can feel the terrifying aura they emit. They must be the most formidable amongst the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, especially that man. He gives me a dreadfully terrifying feeling, one I've not even encountered in our West Barbarian lands."

"They are that powerful?"

Hearing this, the crowd grew more solemn, knowing that Yu Sha was exceptionally sensitive to auras, far more so than an ordinary Perfect Completion Golden Core could ever be.

"The Alliance Hierarch of the East Breeze is an entity very close to the limit of the Golden Core, yet even he was defeated; we should have guessed their strength by now."

"The key issue now is, what shall we do? How will they deal with us?"

"They are flying outside the Flying Boat, clearly meaning to watch us. If we try to escape, they will assuredly attack us immediately."

"We are nowhere near a match for them; now we can only take things one step at a time, first bringing them to the Craftsman Sect."

"Do you think that lunatic from the East Breeze lost his mind? Knowing full well he was no match for someone from the Eastern Wasteland, why did he provoke them?"

"They're heading to the Craftsman Sect, no idea what they plan to do there."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, but the Flying Boat carried on its journey without pause.

After roughly four hours, a massive mountain gate appeared in everyone's view.

Craftsman Sect!

At this moment, the gates of the Craftsman Sect were thrown wide open, and outside stood two rows of disciples. Among the disciples was a familiar figure.

"That's the Vice Sect Master of the Craftsman Sect, Silver Craftsman."

Inside the Flying Boat, Qian Chui whispered and turned to look at the two people flying outside controlling their swords.

Silver Craftsman knew that today, people from the Hundred Refined Sect would be arriving, and the Craftsman Sect placed high importance on this exchange and learning opportunity between the two sects. That was why he, the Vice Sect Master, personally led the reception.

However, seeing the Flying Boats in the Void, he was utterly dumbfounded.

So many Flying Boats... Surely the Hundred Refined Sect hadn't come out in full force, had they? And the two people flying outside the Flying Boats, what were they doing?

The aura they radiated was terrifying.

He himself was also among the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but not even at his peak did he emit such a terrifying aura.

These two were not ordinary Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Were these people from the Hundred Refined Sect? Since when did the Hundred Refined Sect have such experts?

That's not right, that insignia...

As the Flying Boats drew closer, he finally saw the insignia on the vessels, his face immediately turning pale. The insignia on the first Flying Boat was unproblematic; it belonged to the Hundred Refined Sect. But the insignia on the second closest Flying Boat, wasn't that from the Eastern Wasteland, the Hundred Peaks Sect?

Hadn't that faction just visited two days ago? Why had they returned so soon? And, what's more, they came together with people from the Hundred Refined Sect; what was going on?

His gaze full of confusion, the Flying Boats came to rest outside the Craftsman Sect.

Subsequently, one by one, the Flying Boats vanished, and people from the Eastern Wasteland emerged, each projecting their Golden Cores behind them, fully displaying their combat prowess.

The Flying Boats from the Eastern Wasteland had been put away, and the people from the West Barbarian hesitated for a moment before doing the same. Now that they had arrived, they couldn't keep hiding inside the Boats forever.

If the other party really wanted to attack them, given the enemy's strength, hiding in the Flying Boats would be futile.

Silver Craftsman, watching the Eastern Wasteland individuals who suddenly appeared, initially displayed shock, but quickly regained his composure. He did not retreat back through the mountain gates to seal them shut.
