Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Return

Li Yao landed outside the hall of the Lotus Jade Palace, the five elemental spirits following closely behind her. She had already reverted from her spirit form, preferring the familiar sensation of her usual body. Around her, disciples and elders hurried about, tending to the injured and clearing debris from the fierce battle that had ravaged the sect grounds.

When Xuelian and Tiangang spotted her arrival, they immediately paused their duties and rushed forward, bowing respectfully before her.

"We greet the Sect Master," they said in unison, their postures formal despite their exhaustion.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for saving our sect..." Xuelian began, gratitude evident in her voice. _{f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m}

Li Yao waved her hand dismissively. "Just a small thing, no need to mention it," she replied with casual indifference.

Inwardly, however, she minded quite a bit. This rescue mission had delayed her reunion with her senior brother by several hours. She silently hoped these people wouldn’t forget her sacrifice.

Xuelian observed Li Yao’s nonchalance with awe. As expected of the Sect Master – dealing with a Nascent Soul cultivator was apparently nothing more than a minor inconvenience to her. A thought struck Xuelian: did this mean the Azure Cloud Sect now qualified as a rank six sect? She shook her head slightly, unable to fully comprehend this mysterious young woman. For all she knew, Li Yao might even be at the Soul Formation realm, and Xuelian wouldn’t be surprised.

"Deal with this place, then gather everyone and move to the Azure Cloud Sect," Li Yao commanded. "The sooner the better."

She turned her attention to Tiangang, who stood awkwardly to one side. "You too," she added pointedly.

"Sect Master, did something happen?" Xuelian ventured, concern furrowing her brow.

"I guess it’s okay to tell you," Li Yao replied before explaining everything that had transpired after she’d left to chase after the Nascent Soul realm expert.

"...he will probably attack soon. We need to strategize. If you’re far away, I might not be able to protect you."

Tiangang and Xuelian’s expressions morphed into looks of horror as they absorbed this information.

Noticing their fear, Li Yao smiled reassuringly. "Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, they won’t be able to harm you."

Her words did nothing to ease their expressions. They discreetly studied her, thinking to themselves that they were more terrified of her than any external threat – this young woman who casually tortured the soul clone of the region’s strongest expert and acted as if it was a normal thing to do.

Their gazes shifted to the five elemental spirits standing behind her. Even from a distance, they could sense these beings’ tremendous power, each one stronger than the Nascent Soul cultivator who had attacked them. Yet these people seemed to follow Li Yao’s commands. It seemed everything she had claimed was true.

They could only sigh inwardly at finding themselves associated with such a frightening person.

"We’ll do as the Sect Master says," they said with another respectful bow.

"Good," Li Yao nodded with satisfaction. She turned to the spirits and gestured for them to follow before launching herself skyward.

Xuelian watched them disappear into the clouds, reflecting that the Sect Master was truly unlike anyone she had ever encountered. Though undeniably strange, Li Yao inspired an unmistakable feeling of reliability.
