Chapter 74: Journey to the Crimson Sky Sect!
Three days later, on the flying ship of Phoenix Feather Sect,
Ashen was given his own personal room on the ship in contrast to the other disciples who could just find some corner to sit in.
Even Yujin had a small chamber of his own.
On this flying ship, The ones who were in charge were Feng Xue, The second elder, and Peak Master Xia.
Ashen didn’t know why but she was also joining this journey to the Crimson Sky Sect.
Mo Fan and that muscle head Vi Ling were also going to participate in the tournament.
And for Mo Fan, Ashen brought Ling Yun along with him and she stayed with him in the chambers.
There were also Bi Shiyue and Bi Veli. Both of them participated in the tournament so they boarding the ship was obvious.
As for Ling Yun, Ashen asked his master for permission and after some reluctance, she agreed, though he threatened that he would not go without Ling Yun.
Feng Xue was already quite surprised to see Ashen had advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, but Yujin also surprised her. He was already at peak nascent soul realm, just one step away from opening his dantian and advancing to the origin realm.
Both of them had terrifying cultivation speeds. Also, it was fortunate that Yujin didn’t advance to the Origin realm since only nascent soul and body transformation realm cultivators were allowed in the tournament so if he had advanced he wouldn’t be able to participate in the tournament.
“Master, Can I go and see Brother Mo Fan?” Ling Yun whispered into Ashen’s ears, Shiyue and Veli eyeing her with confusion.
“What is she whispering to him?” Veli thought to herself.
Ashen shook his head as he explained the reason: “No, you can’t go and meet him right now in front of all these people. Mo Chen is also on this ship, what if he sees you? It would create problems for me!”
Ling Yun nodded in understanding as she sat quietly afterward. The ship was fast and it didn’t take long for them to enter Crimson Sky Sect’s territory.
The ship landed on the outskirts and wasn’t allowed inside.
Chen Lu approached them with a smiles on his face. Feng Xue and the other elders flew down the ship to meet him.
Chen Lu bowed respectfully, greeting them: “Welcome Sect leader Feng Xue and respected Elders. Welcome to the Crimson Sky Sect!
As you are already aware, the flying ship cannot go inside so please allow me to guide you all to your residential area. You can stay there comfortably till the end of the tournament.”
Though Chen Lu showed appropriate respect to them, however, they were aware of how the Phoenix Feather Sect was being looked down upon.
The sect leader of a sect has come with all her disciples and you only send an elder to welcome them instead of the sect leader coming himself to welcome them.
Wasn’t this looking down on the sect?
But Feng Xue remained calm as the second Elder came forward to respond: “Yes, thank you for your efforts. Please guide us!”
The order to vacate the ship was given to all the disciples as they all boarded down the ship.
Ashen and Yujin were the first ones to come down and stand behind the sect leader.
With Ashen, the three beauties could be seen.
Yujin was baffled to see Veli and Shiyue so close to Ashen, however, he ignored it for now thinking that they must’ve become friends while he was in close cultivation.
Chen Lu’s gaze also fell on Ashen as he gave a smile before greeting him: “Welcome disciple Ashen, today you’ll realize just how big our Crimson Sky Sect is compared to Phoenix Feather Sect.
Our Sect Leader has told me to give a separate residence to you and allow you to join the sect if you want. So if you anytime desire to change the sect just tell me, and I’ll take care of the formalities for you, hahaha”
The second Elder, witnessing this, roared out loud: “Chen Lu, how dare you try to sway one of our disciples to join your sect in the presence of the sect leader, no less!”
In response, Chen Lu scoffed at him: “What sway? I was just giving the sect leader’s message. It is my duty after all. Also, if it is so easy to sway disciples to leave your sect, then don’t you think it is your sect that is incompetent?”
“You!…” He shouted in frustration, however, was stopped by Feng Xue who remained calm throughout as she said: “Forgive him elder Chen Lu. Can you proceed to guide us? The disciples have all gathered”
Elder Chen Lu smiled politely: “Of course, Follow me please!”
He turned around and clapped as thousands of rectangular black boards with inscriptions carved on them came flying towards them before stopping beside each disciple.
“Please get on them, they will take you to the residential area.” Chen Lu instructed turning around.
The disciples nodded before getting on the boards and going flying towards the sect.
Ashen was also going to step on one before being halted by Chen Lu: “Disciple Ashen, stop! Your residence is inside the sect. The sect leader wants you to see the sect from inside”
Stopping, Ashen nodded before pointing at the three beauties beside him: “I’d like for them to also accompany me!”
“Disciple Ashen that would be difficult, the sect leader only allowed you to…”
However, before he could finish, Ashen made himself clear: “If they don’t go with me, then I reject that residence. I’ll just live with the other disciples.”
Saying that Ashen acted to step on the board before being stopped by Chen Lu in a hurry: “Alright Alright, they can accompany you!”
Chen Lu admitted his defeat and Ashen bowed, expressing his gratitude: “Thank You, elder Chen Lu!”
Meanwhile, The Second Elder and peak master Xia looked at this scene with incredulous expression: “W-What’s going on here?” They questioned in their minds.
Wasn’t Ashen getting more attention and respect than even the sect leader?
Just what was going on here?
Chen Lu clapped as four boards, larger than the previous ones came flying from a different direction.
Ashen and the three beauties stepped on each board as they were carried in the same direction.
Ashen could see from the air, that Chen Lu and the sect Seniors leaving in different directions. Their residence must be in that direction.
After some moments, The rectangular boards stopped just some centimeters above the ground as Ashen and the three beauties stepped down, finding a huge mansion in front of them.
Ashen looked around only to find multiple paths, but no house.
Only this big mansion was there. Ashen got close to the door as the door opened itself or that it seemed.
Two disciples wearing Crimson Sky Sect’s uniform came out, bowing as they greeted: “Welcome young master Ashen, this is your residence and we are the helpers assigned to you”
“What? This mansion is assigned to Brother Ashen alone?” Veli asked with wide eyes in disbelief.
Though it was Veli who voiced out her shock, the same question was in Shiyue and Ling Yun’s minds. Their shocked expressions said it all.
Ashen just nodded, making his way inside calmly.
The three beauties just followed him in.
