Chapter 110 Zhang 3! So it was you!
In the audience, everyone was utterly shocked by the three-way battle.
The sect leader's strength goes without saying, but are Shi Chuan and Jing Shu really this strong?!
Especially Uncle-Master Jing Shu, he's practically an all-around support! If they could have a companion like Jing Shu during their training, it would be incredibly awesome!
Moreover, Uncle Jing Shu stood still the whole time, only cooperating with Senior Brother Shi Chuan. If he were fighting alone, he probably wouldn't have fared much better.
As the bright light gradually faded, Shi Chuan stood in front of Jing Shu, looking at the incense stick stuck in the ground that had burned out, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
They won.
Fan Qingyan was not hurt. Before anyone could see her covered in dust and dirt, she used a cleaning spell to tidy herself up again.
After receiving a signal from Fan Qingyan, the elder removed the barrier.
"Sect Master, the time for one incense stick to burn has been up. We have won," Jing Shu said with a smile, while pulling Shi Chuan to bow to Fan Qingyan.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master."
At this moment, everyone cheered. Although the sect leader was very strong, Uncle Shi Chuan and Uncle Jing Shu were also very powerful. They were indeed worthy of being disciples of Grandmaster Han Luo!
Fan Qingyan was initially embarrassed to have lost in front of everyone, but seeing how understanding Jing Shu was, Fan Qingyan clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
"My two junior brothers are too modest. You have given me a great surprise. I agree. Please take care of yourselves."
The second half of the sentence was told to the two of them by Fan Qingyan through telepathy. With their current strength, they no longer needed to send anyone to follow them. Moreover, Junior Brother Jing Shu hadn't contributed much at all.
Even if he were to make a move, Fan Qingyan wasn't confident he could defeat the two of them within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even though Jing Shucai was only at the late Golden Core stage, Fan Qingyan had this intuition.
Suddenly, Fan Qingyan looked in surprise at Jing Ran's location. Seeing Jing Ran nod slightly to him, Fan Qingyan then transmitted his voice.
"Yes."
After a short while, Fan Qingyan returned to the main hall and watched the three figures grow further and further away. Finally, he could no longer maintain his composure and plopped down in his chair without any regard for his image.
Shi Chuan's final move was extremely powerful, and the power of Jing Shu's Nine Star Sword Formation was even more formidable. Taking both of their attacks head-on was not an easy task for him either, but he couldn't afford to lose face in front of the other disciples.
"Master! Master!" Yu Fan rushed in excitedly.
Fan Qingyan sat up straight after hearing the voice. "What's going on? You're so impulsive."
"Uncle Jing is back? And he challenged you with Uncle Shi?" Yu Fan asked curiously as he returned from completing his mission.
He had already heard a lot from his fellow disciples along the way, but he still came over to ask Fan Qingyan.
"Where is Uncle Jing now?"
"They've already left. They had things to do and should have left the Cloud Burial Sect by now. What, do you need to see him?" Fan Qingyan asked.
"Sigh, it's nothing. I haven't seen Uncle Jing in a long time, and I wanted to visit him." Yu Fan said with some disappointment.
He hadn't seen Jing Shu since the mission suddenly ended six years ago. The two hadn't exchanged any spiritual messages. He only knew that Jing Shu went into seclusion after returning and then went out to train. Only now did he learn that Jing Shu had returned.
"By the way, what's Jing Shishu's cultivation level now? Is he able to challenge you alongside Shi Shishi?" Yu Fan asked curiously.
“Your Uncle Jing has been training outside for several years and has already reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm. His strength should be no less than that of your Uncle Shi Chuan,” Fan Qingyan said with a smile.
"What?! Late Golden Core stage?!" Yu Fan was extremely shocked. No, could cultivation level really increase this quickly?!
He thought that after so many years of hard work in cultivation, he could finally have a chance to spar with Uncle Jing.
What kind of nonsense is this?! Uncle Jing is utterly crushing him!
"So what else do you want to do? The sect competition is about to begin. You should focus on your cultivation and try to get a good ranking!" Fan Qingyan said helplessly.
"Are Uncle-Master Jing and the others going to the sect's grand competition?"
"Who knows? Maybe it will come..."
----------------
The three who had already left the sect were now on their way to the Kunlun Mountains.
The Snow Condensation Sword is currently absorbing Jing Shu's heart's blood. Jing Ran did not disturb it, but instead chose to stand on Jing Shu's spirit sword.
When Jing Shu took out the spirit sword, Jing Ran didn't think too much about it. However, the nascent soul in the ancient jade observed Jing Ran for a long time. Seeing that Jing Ran wasn't angry, it secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The three flew very fast on their swords and arrived at the Kunlun Mountains on the second night.
"Let's go look for the artifact tomorrow morning. Let's rest here for tonight," Jing Shu suggested.
Shi Chuan and Jing Ran both agreed; after traveling for two days, they definitely needed to rest. So, Shi Chuan went out to catch some wild game, Jing Ran gathered firewood, and Jing Shu stayed behind to set up the tent.
The three of them moved quickly, and the tent was set up in no time. Jing Shu also took the pheasant that Shi Chuan had prepared and started roasting it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the bushes not far away.
"Yunqi, his cooking smells so good. Do you think we can go ask for some?"
"Go ahead and ask for it, I have no shame."
"Oh dear, I'm too shy, you go!"
"You go."
"..."
Jing Shu paused slightly while grilling the meat; the conversation sounded so familiar...
Jingran and Shichuan naturally heard it too, but they didn't say anything, they just looked at the roast chicken in Jingshu's hand.
Because it really smells amazing...
"Lu Yunqi, Ji Chen, since you're avoiding me, then don't say anything," Jing Shu said calmly.
The people in the bushes seemed stunned, and then two people emerged.
"How did you know... Zhang San! It was you!" One second Ji Chen was very surprised that he knew their names, the next second he saw Jing Shu's face and was overjoyed.
Jingran & Shichuan: "???"
Jing Shu: "..."
I should have chosen a nicer-sounding katakana.
As soon as Ji Chen saw that it was an acquaintance, he pulled Lu Yunqi over and sat down without any hesitation.
"After leaving the Yao Guang Secret Realm, Yun Qi and I looked for you and Wang Er, but we couldn't find you. However, we did run into your senior brother."
"He said that the Cloud Burial Sect doesn't have anyone named Zhang San or Wang Er. So, Zhang San, could you tell us your real name this time?"
Ji Chen said with a grin, admitting that he was being vengeful by calling Zhang San this and Zhang San that. He couldn't help it; he and Yun Qi had never lied to them, so why would they create a fake name to deceive them?
