Chapter 168: Xuan Ice Pavilion

Although she didn’t know what Lu Xuan had given Lin Xin Yi, but it was imaginably important. Chen Xiao Han knew not to ask. The Ancient Enchantment Technique which Lu Xuan had given her was also a treasure.

After a while, Lin Xin Yi memorized the content of the jade slip, however, it was only memorizing it per se. Wanting to be able to understand it in such a short period of time was totally impossible.

Although she had only seen it once, Lin Xin Yi was able to feel that this cultivation technique was extraordinary. This cultivation technique’s subtleties was a bit above her cognition. With it, Lin Xin Yi believed that her cultivation speed would definitely rise up quickly!

However, wanting to achieve Lu Xuan’s degree was still impossible, after all, Lu Xuan’s entire body’s meridians had been cleared and didn’t have any impediments when cultivating and Lin Xin Yi didn’t have the same sort of talent as Lu Xuan did.

Thinking back, making sure she had memorized it properly, Lin Xin Yi returned the jade slip to Lu Xuan’s hand. Without hesitation, Lu Xuan inserted yuan force and immediately shattered this jade slip that had recorded the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic to the sixth level, completely destroying it.

“Before this I had Xia Ye bet 30000 contribution points on my winning. In total, including my own contribution points, you can get 75000 contribution points. I can’t use it anymore. At that time, have Xia Ye give it to you. You should use it to properly cultivate during this time. No matter what, do not leave the sword faction.” Lu Xuan entrusted.

75000 contribution points, this could be said to be an enormous sum. If it was used to exchange for a weapon, the lowest upper grade iron grade only needed 10000 contribution points, so it was enough to exchange for seven of them!

Suddenly having been gifted so many contribution points by Lu Xuan, Lin Xin Yi didn’t feel too happy. Compared to these contribution points, she would have preferred Lu Xuan to be able to safely stay in the inner sect. The world outside was too complicated. Even if Lu Xuan’s strength wasn’t weak, who could guarantee he would absolutely be safe?

But since it was this way, Lin Xin Yi still nodded her head obediently. Since Lu Xuan had already decided on leaving, she could only make sure that he didn’t worry over her.

Finished up with these matters, Lu Xuan no longer had any hang-ups. Turning his head, he told Chen Xiao Han: “Xiao Han, I’ll have to bother you to take care of Xin Yi. If possible, I hope that you can ask Elder Fan and them to help escort Xin Yi back to the sword faction.”

Chen Xiao Han rolled her eyes at Lu Xuan: “You’re really treating me like an outsider, but don’t worry. For the sake of elder sister Lin, I will also escort her back safely. Only, how are you preparing to leave the Wind Sword Sect? I imagine that the whole inner sect is searching for a trace of you.”

Listening to Chen Xiao Han speak, Lu Xuan also couldn’t help but furrow his brows. This was a problem. Previously he had snuck over to the Enchantment Hall because no one had known about what happened in the blade faction residence, but now so much time had passed, most likely he already wanted by the blade and fist factions.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s difficult expression, Chen Xiao Han giggled: “Forget it, I won’t tease you. I long since helped think of a way to leave. There’s a transmission array in the Enchantment Hall that can directly send you to the three great empires and you can directly leave from there.”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan became happy. He hadn’t thought that the Enchantment Hall would have a transmission array. This was a really good thing. If he left here by himself, he’d have to do it without letting anyone know and have enough time to let him escape from the Wind Sword Sect’s jurisdiction.

“You’ve given me a huge help. It seems like looking for you was indeed the right decision.” Lu Xuan couldn’t help but praise.

“This counts as praising me?” Chen Xiao Han teased, “Go, matters can’t be delayed. I’ll take you there now.”

“I’ll also send you off.” Lin Xi Yi also spoke up. Going through this time, she had already recovered some strength. Although she couldn’t fight, it was enough to at least walk normally.

However, hearing this, Chen Xiao Han revealed a difficult expression and said: “Elder sister Lin, it’s not that I don’t trust you, only, the transmission array’s location is my Enchantment Hall’s secret. Originally Lu Xuan also didn’t have the qualifications to know about it, so…”

Lin Xin Yi was a bit stunned and then smiled: “I understand. Then I’ll just wait here. I’ll entrust Lu Xuan to you.”

Seeing Lin Xin Yi accepting logic, Chen Xiao Han exhaled a breath of relief. If she insisted on going, for Lu Xuan’s face, Chen Xiao Han would be in a tough spot.

“Xin Yi, then I’ll be going first. Cultivate properly and remember what I told you.” Lu Xuan said his last farewell.

Lin Xin Yi also said with concern: “You should also be a bit careful. I’ll wait for you to return at the great sect competition.”

Lu Xuan nodded, hesitated a bit, then hugged Lin Xin Yi. He gently kissed her forehead. Chen Xiao Han looked on with jealousy from behind.

Finished kissing farewell, Lu Xuan no longer stuck around and followed Chen Xiao Han and left the room.

Chen Xiao Han guided in front and Lu Xuan tightly followed behind. Very soon, the two arrived in front of a quiet room. Seeing this, Lu Xuan curiously said: “Isn’t this master’s quiet room? Is the transmission array in here?”

Chen Xiao Han nodded: “This transmission array is something our Enchantment Hall created itself in order to leave behind an escape route, not for the other people of the Wind Sword Sect to know of. Other than my dad, only a few qualified elders know of it, so you have to keep it secret.”

Lu Xuan’s face was somber as he nodded. He naturally knew of its importance. Since Chen Xiao Han had told him, obviously she had a lot of faith in him.

Chen Xiao Han walk straight to the place where Hallmaster normally sat. She fiddled with it a bit and immediately there was some clanking noises. Lu Xuan turned his head to look and saw the bookshelf in the quiet room had actually slowly begun to move, revealing a dark room behind it!

“Come with me.” Chen Xiao Han said and walked towards that dark room. Just as she was preparing to enter the dark room, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked over the bookshelf and flipped through a book, giving it to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan looked it and was shocked. This was impressively a map of the surrounding area, extremely detailed. Not only did it include the three great empires which the Wind Sword Sect ruled, it even marked out some of the larger and smaller forces within the three great empires. Lu Xuan actually even found the Long family in the Qing Mountain Village within the Heavenly Martial Empire, but all it had marked there on the map was that it was a cultivation clan.

Heavenly Martial Empire’s sect and clans were countless. The higher the tier, the greater its strength. For example, the Wind Sword Sect was a third tier sect, and above it were fourth tier and fifth tier existences.

As for the level of existences like the Long family whose strongest practitioner was only body refining seventh level, it could be reluctantly categorized as a first tier cultivation clan and was at the bottom in terms of power.

And the Wind Sword Sect’s influence didn’t cover the entire map and was only a portion. The Wind Sword Sect’s surrounding still had a few other third tier sects. For example, to the Wind Sword Sect’s south was the Cloud Perch Valley, to the east was Sky Blade Sect, and to the north was Daymoon Villa, etc. These third tier sects occupied about the same amount of territory as the Wind Sword Sect, each with three or four empires.

However, these weren’t what Lu Xuan was interested in. His interest was the entire map was marked by three large words, Xuan Ice Pavilion!

The Xuan Ice Pavilion’s tier was clearly reflected in Lu Xuan’s eyes. It was impressively a fourth tier sect, even higher than the Wind Sword Sect by a tier. To be precise, the Wind Sword Sect was a direct subordinate of the Xuan Ice Pavilion.

The Sky Sword Continent’s may be large, but each tier was under another. For example, the Wind Sword Sect has three great empires in its jurisdiction. Each of the first and second tier influences each received the Wind Sword Sect’s rulership. Without a doubt, Wind Sword Sect, as well as those similarly third tier sect influences all received the rule of the fourth tier sect Xuan Ice Pavilion.

For a time, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be a bit fascinated. A fourth tier sect. How strong would those martial artists be? They should have the Yuan Returning Realm experts that Hallmaster had spoken of right?

Then Lu Xuan shook his head. His distance from a fourth tier sect was still too far. Right now he was only a mere faction division of the inner sect in the Wind Sword Sect was enough to force him to run away, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, there would be a day when he would be able to see an even wider world.

“This map isn’t the original. It’s something I copied. Take it with you. I’ll make another copy of it again later.” Chen Xiao Han said. She also knew that Lu Xuan wasn’t too aware of the outside. This map would definitely be quite useful.

“Xiao Han, thank you.” Lu Xuan said sincerely. This time, Chen Xiao Han had indeed helped him a lot.

Chen Xiao Han shook her head: “No need for thanks. Whenever you can be the way you are to elder sister Lin with me, I’ll be happy.”

“I will. If you had been in Lin Xin Yi’s place, I also absolutely would’ve done the same thing.” Lu Xuan said without hesitation.

“Who knows if that’s the truth or a lie? But I’ll just believe you!” Although she said that, Chen Xiao Han’s face flashed with happiness, inwardly giddy. She really was easy to sway, but Lu Xuan was also speaking honestly.

Putting away the valuable map, the two entered the quiet room. They hadn’t walked very far when a transmission appeared before Lu Xuan’s eyes.

This transmission array’s structured looked very complicated, filled with countless runes, complex and mixed. Even if he had already become a one star spirit runemaster, Lu Xuan still felt a bit dizzy looking at it.

He remembered something Hallmaster Chen Mo had said. A spirit runemaster vein did not only consist of people proficient in spirit runes, there were also people proficient in arrays as spirit array masters. This transmission array ought to have been a kind of spirit array, except its result wasn’t for killing enemies but was for transmission.

“This transmission array was built by my dad and Elder Fan and Elder Qin after spending a full year’s effort to build. It’s a one way transmission array and can only send people away. The transmission’s target location is then on a mountain in the Warflame Empire. If nothing unexpected happens, once I’ve sent you there, the following matters, you can only rely on yourself.” Chen Xiao Han looked at Lu Xuan as she spoke.

It was finally time to leave…
