I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master

“Hiss.”

The cultivators who understood this all sucked in a breath of cold air. They were shocked.

An existence that even the Immortals of the upper realm had to take the initiative to bow to show their goodwill. Just how high was his status?

The Myriad Treasure Convention ended.

As the cultivators left one after another.

The treasure light in the Danxia Holy Land gradually thinned and finally disappeared.

The next treasure meeting would be a thousand years later.

However, the cultivators who participated in the treasure meeting this time all felt as if a lifetime had passed.

They still wanted more.

First, there were bold cultivators asking for treasures, and then there was that mysterious painting scroll.

Scene after scene flashed through their minds like a flashing lantern.

Walking out of the Danxia Holy Land, they actually had a trance-like feeling of waking up from a dream.

They knew who would be the first to wake up from a dream.

What they had seen and heard during this treasure gathering would definitely leave a deep imprint in their memories, and they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.

High in the sky, the flying ship of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was speeding along.

Yu Hongye and Yu Mingzhi knew that they were standing at the stern of the ship. As they looked at the faintly discernible light behind them, they had worried expressions on their faces.

Yu Hongye asked, “Second Uncle, those cultivators have been following us ever since we left Danxia Holy Land. They definitely have bad intentions.”

Yu Mingzhi’s face was ashen as he said in a deep voice, “I thought that we were cautious enough and deliberately set off from the secret path and stayed for a few days. I didn’t expect that we would still be targeted by those people.”

“Sigh.” Yu Mingzhi sighed. “Greed makes people go crazy. We were shamed by Senior Liu this time and got all the limelight, but we were also remembered by those cunning people.”

Yu Hongye recalled the similar scene when she was in the Startling Rainbow Valley.

She was surrounded by a group of people and didn’t have any help. In the end, she took the picture given to her by Senior Liu and killed all the cultivators who coveted the picture scroll.

Yu Hongye said excitedly, “Second Uncle, don’t be discouraged. Last time, I took Senior Liu’s painting and escaped from danger. Senior Liu left a lot of backup plans. I have Senior Liu’s aura on me. When I encounter danger, the calligraphy will automatically protect me.”

“Perhaps this time, Senior Liu also left something behind. We can rely on Senior Liu’s painting to escape from danger.”

Yu Mingzhi’s expression changed and he became excited.

However, Yu Mingzhi quickly became dejected again.

“Senior Liu might have expected all of this, but it’s not certain if he has a backup plan.”

Yu Mingzhi continued, “After all, our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is only a small chess piece in Senior’s eyes, Hongye, you’ve already become Senior Liu’s woman and can use Senior’s painting to save your life. However, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets might not.”

Yu Hongye comforted him. “Second Uncle, you don’t have to be so dejected. Senior Liu is a very good person. I believe that Senior Liu will not let his painting go to waste. Besides, without our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he will also lack a spokesperson in the outside world. It will only make things more inconvenient.”

Yu Mingzhi nodded and said helplessly, “I hope so. Right now, I have to move forward at full speed and rush to the nearest teleportation point. I have to return to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets as soon as possible. After settling down, I will make plans.”

Yu Mingzhi looked at the escaping light that was chasing after him and said sorrowfully, “If they catch up to you, Hongye, take the painting scroll and leave first. Your safety is the most important thing for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. I believe Senior Liu also thinks so.”

Yu Hongye’s eyes were red, and crystal-clear tears were rolling in her eyes.

Yu Mingzhi shook his head and didn’t say anything else.

As a cultivator, who wanted to die?

His plan was to let the others stall the people behind him, lure the pursuers far away, and then use a secret technique to escape.

Moreover, Yu Mingzhi thought that Yu Hongye was indeed much more important than him.

If it weren’t for Yu Hongye, he would have immediately abandoned the flying boat and fled.

Yu Mingzhi had always wanted Yu Hongye not to worry about the safety of the cultivators on the ship, so he had to resort to this plan.

First, he pretended to lead the cultivators to stall for time, and then he would secretly escape.

However, this plan was selfish, so he would not tell Yu Hongye about it.

However, his idea was destined to be unnecessary.

…

Wu Wu drove the miniature flying boat and used his spiritual sense to check his surroundings.

The old man’s voice rang in his mind.

“Brat, it seems that there are quite a number of people who have the same plan as us.”

When Wu Wu heard the old man’s words, his ugly face revealed a trace of ruthlessness.

“The opportunity of the Ancient Immortal Court must be mine! Those who stand in my way will die! Senior, this matter concerns the fate of both of us. I hope you can help us.”

The old man was silent.

After a long time, he spoke.

“Now, there are 50 Dharma Idols, 10 Soul Formation stage cultivators, five Void Interpretation stage cultivators, and three old monsters in the Tribulation Transcension stage who are following this flying ship!”

Wu Wu was shocked. His face kept changing.

In the end, Wu Wu gnashed his teeth and said, “Senior, those people are indeed stronger than me. But, Senior, you don’t want me to give up, do you? That is the opportunity behind the Ancient Immortal Court!”

The old man said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I have my own plans. In fact, we only need to follow the map and find the relevant clues. We don’t need to rush to the front line. We are different from those cultivators who kill people and steal treasures. We can be more flexible.”

“We can even think in reverse. When the people of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were attacked, we offered help in the snow and followed them in the name of an escort. Even if they refused, we let the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets owe us a huge favor. We took advantage of the situation and became related to the big figures behind them.”

“Don’t be afraid. If necessary, I can burn my primordial spirit to help you.”

Wu Wu heard the old man’s words, and his spirit perked up.

“Wonderful. Just do as Senior said.”

The old man was very satisfied when he heard Wu Wu’s words.

Wu Wu had a lot of shortcomings. He was arrogant, and his bones were weak. However, he did one thing very well.

That was to be obedient.

No matter what the old man asked him to do, he would do it obediently.

The old man said with gratification, “Pay attention. Don’t follow too closely. Just hang on from a distance. Let those boorish people have fun first.”

“Junior understands.”

…

“Everyone listen up. No matter the cost, even if we have to use Immortal Jade, we have to speed up the flying ship. There are still a thousand miles to the nearest teleportation point. As long as we can sit on the teleportation array, we will be safe.”

Yu Mingzhi gave the order solemnly.

“Yes, Sir.”

The cultivators of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets on the flying boat replied one after another.

They were all sweating profusely. Everyone knew that they were at a critical juncture.

Yu Hongye ran quickly to Yu Mingzhi and said anxiously, “Those people seem to know that we are almost at the teleportation point in front of us. They are no longer hiding and are speeding up to catch up with us.”

Yu Mingzhi’s heart was greatly shaken. He hurriedly looked behind him.

He saw that the cultivators who had been hiding earlier had popped their heads out and were rapidly approaching.

Although most of the cultivators could not catch up with the speed of the flying ship, there were still seven or eight rays of light that were gradually approaching.

Yu Mingzhi knew that he was anxious to give the order.
