Chapter 200 - A Strange Farewell

More and more students appeared in the Blue Water Inst.i.tute, and all of them had been placed within the same cla.s.s as Bai Rouyun. The original students began to realize that not all of these experts could have been prepared by the Eternal Shadow Palace, and thus they grabbed the chance to try and impress them with their current achievements.

While they knew that they could never become anyone outstanding, they still wished to become servants of these youngsters from the prominent factions within the Cultivation World.

During this time, where more and more experts were arriving within Canglan City, Bai Rouyun had taken the time to ask Li Moyun about the horn of a beast with the Qilin bloodline.

He had not agreed right away, but after spending some time understanding the usages of such a horn, he had sent word to every member of the Eternal Shadow Palace to keep an eye out for such a beast; he had even contacted Xue Jingyu and asked him to utilize s.h.i.+tian Tower's influence to get one as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, this continent was extremely backwater, and every bloodline which existed here had long since been diluted, so finding a beast with a Qilin bloodline would be extremely challenging.

At the same time, the heaven and earth essence was also rather scarce, which had also influenced the survivability of such divine bloodlines.

Soon, the many factions within the Cultivation World noticed the sudden search from the two groups, the Eternal Shadow Palace and the s.h.i.+tian Tower. After asking around, they realized what item they were searching for, and others began brewing up even more schemes and plans.

Many began searching for the usages of these horns, and after finding it, they were extremely confused.

While a real Qilin Horn was basically able to change and temper the body of the one who consumed it, the one of a lower bloodline could merely temper one's physical body.

A cultivator like Li Moyun would not benefit much from such a tempering. While he might consume the horn, should he come across it by accident, he would never send out experts to search for it.

While there was no real proof, everyone a.s.sumed that this horn was being searched for, for the sake of gifting it to Bai Rouyun, but why was it so urgent to get their hands on such a treasure?

A cultivator was constantly tempering their bodies as they steadily progressed. While some were indeed focused heavily on the cultivation of physical strength, it was extremely rare for a delicate and refined woman to do so.

The factions all sent messages to the youngsters they had sent to Canglan City to inquire about Bai Rouyun's situation, but their answers were all vague.

It was not that the experts did not wish to send more detailed information, but they genuinely did not understand Bai Rouyun's situation.

While they did attend the same inst.i.tute, she never socialized with anyone apart from Qin Huiling and Mo Chu.

During the lectures, she would be focused on listening to the teaching material. Still, during the practical lessons, she would stand beneath a large tree and observe others, refusing to partic.i.p.ate.

Most of the cla.s.smates a.s.sumed that she was not partic.i.p.ating as she dared not expose her cultivation base. She had jumped from the lowest-ranked grade to the highest-ranked grade in one fell swoop, and many had doubts about her cultivation level.

Bai Rouyun was not a person who would easily be swayed by others thoughts, so she did not mind their doubts. However, even if she did, she would be unable to do anything about it, as her body still lacked a bit of tempering before she could use the Qi which was stored within her dantian.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful on the surface, but when one tried to pry into the secrets of the Eternal Shadow Palace, a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre followed.

While Li Moyun did not touch anyone of a substantial value to these factions, he had murdered mountains of outer disciples and servants.

The factions soon understood that this woman, Bai Rouyun, was not someone they should include in their schemes. After a month of no results, most of the youngsters were called back to their factions, as staying within the Blue Water Inst.i.tute would slow their progress.

Three of the forty-eight experts who had arrived decided to stay back. They were not doing this because the factions had told them to; they did it due to their own wish for getting closer to Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun.

One of these people was Dongfang Yu, the smiling and gentle young man.

Bai Rouyun could not help but wonder what his plans were as she noticed how the others in his group were trying to convince him to return with them. Even Mo Beichen, the stoic-looking leader of their group, had tried to persuade him to return with them, but it had proven to be useless.

"They left."

Dongfang Yu was standing in the sunset as he looked at the backs of his previous comrades. They were vanis.h.i.+ng into the distance, never turning back to look at him even once, but there was no feeling of sadness within his voice, only a strange emotion of liberation.

Bai Rouyun had followed them to say goodbye, as this group was the one she was considered the closest with, and she could not help but glance at Dongfang Yu as he stood next to her.

"No regrets?" she asked, as she moved her gaze to the setting sun on the horizon.

"None." The answer from Dongfang Yu was calm, but full of power and conviction.
