Chapter 273: 273 Shen Yun
That day, Gu Yang and Pei Qianlan settled down at the academy.
The ancestor of the Shen Family was indeed very cautious. Even facing him, who was at the mana realm, he was unwilling to take any risks.
He had already left the palace, yet the old fellow hadn’t made a move.
It seemed that unless he left Divine City, the other party would not take action.
However, upon reflection, this old ghost had lived for thousands of years, most of which were spent within the clan. It was clear that he possessed immense patience.
Gu Yang had two more opportunities for a simulation, which were vital for emergencies. They can’t be used recklessly.
At night, he borrowed a secret sword technique manual from the academy’s library and started learning the sword technique from scratch.
In order to borrow books from the library, he even joined the academy and became a visiting professor to get borrowing rights.
Given his martial arts cultivation level, even if he switched to learning the sword technique, he would pick it up quickly.
During his time in the mortal realm, he had dabbled in sword techniques, just not as proficient. After reaching the third rank, he mainly trained in saber techniques.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, as Gu Yang and Pei Qianlan were leaving the academy’s gate in a carriage, Wu Er jumped on board, saying, “It’s done. We should leave for Yunzhou now. We only have half a day.”
Gu Yang didn’t ask how he arranged this. He disembarked the carriage, took the two of them, and flew off towards the north.
Outside Divine City, within a mountain peak.
In the early morning, the sun had just risen from the horizon, its golden light shining on a mountain peak, yet it casted a shadow.
“Sword Palace?”
Suddenly, an age-old voice came from the shadow, “Why do you block my way?”
“Favors.”
A cold voice echoed from the bottom of the mountain, colder than the wind on the peak. After a while, the person added two more words, “Half a day.”
Meaning he owed someone a favor, and was here to delay him for half a day.
“Very well.”
In the shadow, the age-old voice turned cold, “I’ll remember this.”
Then, no more voices were heard.
After Gu Yang flew out of Divine City, he couldn’t help but admire how far-reaching Wu Er’s connections were. There was no chase for a long time.
He didn’t know where Wu Er had found someone who could hold back Shen Yun, a powerful figure of the Unleaking realm.
Last time, Wu Er could even get Cao Kunpeng, the Spear Saint, to give him face.
Yunzhou was neighboring to Divine City. Two hours later, the Vast Mountain was already in sight.
To avoid alarming the enemy, Gu Yang first landed in a forest.
He asked, “Are there any other experts in the Red Venerate Sect?”
Wu Er replied, “Just one, Red Sun, he’s also in the Unleaking realm but isn’t currently at the Sect’s gateway. However, be careful of that one.”
Gu Yang shook his head, “No need to worry, he won’t make a move.”
Ever since he was marked by Saint Chaoyang of the Three Saints Sect, that character from Red Sun didn’t make a move against him.
He even suspected that if it knew Saint Chaoyang was going to deal with him, it wouldn’t waste its energy on him anymore.
If that were true, then this old monster was more terrifying than he thought.
This meant he was extremely rational, not blinded by hatred. Moreover, his information sources were vast. Even Saint Chaoyang’s activities couldn’t escape his attention.
As expected, at this level, each of his enemies was not easy to deal with.
Gu Yang and the others flew towards the direction of Vast Mountain.
He asked Wu Er, “How strong is Shen Yun?”
Wu Er replied, “He can withstand my two attacks.”
“Be more specific.”
“A hundred years ago, he had just taken the second step.”
Unleaking realm, alike, was divided into three levels. The first step involved unleashing the human body’s hidden potential, activating all its potential. This allowed the body to contain a vast amount of mana.
