BXBX NOVEL Chapter 915 The Lightning Plain (4)
In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, on board the profound ship of the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue.
Fairy Ye Chengxi was sitting alone in the small cabin of their profound ship as she slowly reminisced her Old Master Ji Yuan.
She muttered slowly, "It is almost time for my old master… and my lord to be back now… just a little more…"
She began to shiver to think on how she should break the news of Jiajia\'s death to him…
Maybe I should think of something happier…
There was a sudden faint smile on her beautiful countenance when she had recalled that day when she had finally seen her old master again but this time he was without his ugly beard.
He may look haggard, dirty and thinner but she could recognize her old master anyway.
She knows that her old master was pretending not to recognize her because this was the Desolate Celestial Fraternity where the men prided their beards and old her master was a prideful old master.
Although she had called him her old master but Ji Yuan did not look old at all due to his cultivations but she was still more than 300 years younger than him.
In all the years that she had been with her old master, she knows him only too well and sometimes even better than himself.
She knows that old master did not like to stay in the Five Heavens Peak and he had mentioned to her many times that he would leave one day and that was why he had already made her the acting sect leader.
Her old master only had two core protégés and it were only her Junior Protégé Sister Shangguan Yan and herself.
He was very strict and very fierce to the two of them.
There were many times that Fairy Ye Chengxi could cry alone, afraid of letting Shangguan Yan or her old master knows about this.
Everyone has a high expectation from her to lead the Orthodox Sword Sect one day.
But the truth was that she was not as capable as her old master when it comes to managing the finances of the Orthodox Sword Sect.
She had heard her old master complaining many times that all the protégés were just leeching from him and he had no cultivation resources to cultivate anymore. That was why one day, he would leave all of them.
In the eyes of the outsiders, her old master may seem like an irresponsible man but only she knows that this is not true.
She knows that her old master had worked hard to try to resolve their sect\'s finances and he had often ventured away.
Even though there were rumors that her old master had been engaged in the shady tomb raiding act but she did not mind at all. It was because she knows that the Five Heavens Peaks were dirt poor.
She was quite proud of old master who was a Sword Saint and she aspired to be a Sword Saintess after him as well.
And, she was secretly in love with her old master but she knows that her old master was strongly against any master-protégé relationship.
Moreover, there was a rumor that her old master was a duck instead as he did not seem to shown any interest in any maidens.
She had naturally joined the Orthodox Sword Sect after Ji Yuan\'s woeful 3 failed relationships so she did not know what had happened before she had joined.
When she had met her old master again, she boldly tried to make him into her protégé and to her surprise, he had actually agreed.
She knows that her old master must be swallowing his pride to do so.
It was because she could see the fires in his eyes and that he had even dared to go to the Emperor Hall Sect alone to seek vendetta for a sect that he barely knows.
At that time, she had really thought that her old master must have suffered a bad lash to his cultivation breakthrough and had even lost his golden body because she could no longer see his golden eyes.
She was determined to protect him this time.
But her old master had actually told her that he would go to the Emperor Hall Sect to check things out.
She really got a big scare as the Emperor Hall Sect was a powerful celestial sect that have 4 powerful golden supremacies other than their Sect Leader Xia Jiaqing.
In fact, she was already a fifth realm golden celestial while her old master was a cripple in cultivation!
But her old master was firm in his resolve and he did not want to involve her and in the end, she had to let him go there all by himself.
"Trust me," he had said. "I\'ve a plan."
He had never revealed his plan to her though so she did not know whether he really had a plan or not.
She knows how stubborn her old master was and so she did not stop him anymore but asked him to be careful and that she would take him back in if he could not handle the situation in the Emperor Hall Sect.
One thing for sure, she knows that her old master\'s swiftness movement speed was freaking fast. So, running away should not be a problem for him.
She had thought at that time that if her old master had not gone for his cultivation breakthrough and suffered a back lash, he would be able to demolish the bullying elders of the Emperor Hall Sect on his own as he had a fierce reputation as a peaked 6th cultivation realm Sword Saint Ji Yuan.
But she had never expected that her old master would become an elder of the Emperor Hall Sect immediately after he had confronted them.
She was literally speechless.
At this moment, Shangguan Yan had entered the cabin and she was smiling to her, "Sister Chengxi, are you thinking of our Lord Ji Yuan again?"
Fairy Ye Chengxi did not deny this and nodded, "Our Lord Ji Yuan should be out of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth soon. Our days of darkness should be over, right?"
Shangguan Yan inhaled melancholy, "I hope that this day will quickly come. The powerful influences of the Evil Cultivation Palace are everywhere and there are many victims that have become their living furnaces…"
"That day will come…" Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded slowly, "Our old master and our lord will surely have a way…"

Back to the lightning plains where Ji Yuan and his team were at.
To the startled surprise of everyone, Ji Yuan was now shouting to everyone immediately after he was struck by the second purple lightning. "Follow me!"
Shui Xisi was astonished, "Ji Yuan, what are you trying to do?"
But he had already broken into a run.
This forced Shui Xisi, Xie Hongyu and Hua Yunzi to quickly sped after him.
There was a sudden thunderous flash of purple lightning above them and this forced everyone to squat down immediately!
But Ji Yuan had still running!
Ji Yuan was now running rapidly across the lightning plains and he had displayed his flying swords around him to block the lightning strike above him.
To the astonishment of the cultivators that looking behind him, Ji Yuan was soon struck by a third purple lightning that shattered his flying swords above him.
The shockwave knocked Ji Yuan to the ground with a tremendous bang and he was rolling on the ground but he was otherwise unharmed as his flying swords had saved him.
He was heard saying, "Darn. My flying swords are useless here. The profound power of the lightning can even severe my sword intentions…"
All of a sudden, he had withdrawn all his flying swords and he was on his feet again before breaking into another run.
All the cultivators behind Ji Yuan could not understand what was going on.
But Ji Yuan was shouting to them with his profound voice, "Follow me quick! We are going to run across this plain!"
As he said that, another thunderous purple lightning had thundered in a shocking loud thunderclap before flashing down at him!
This purple lightning was 3 times more brilliant than the previous 3 purple lightning and even had multiple purple forks that increased its profound power tremendously!
But Ji Yuan had already imbued his Divine Sword Anyang with the profound power of his ultra sword spirit and this time, he had even shattered the purple lightning and he was unharmed!
This shocked everyone, including Shui Xisi.
Shui Xisi was in disbelief for the purple lightning had the profound power of 81 white lightning. There was no way that Ji Yuan could even tank the purple lightning with his divine sword!
The result actually surprised Ji Yuan; he had expected to get some injuries even though he had been tempered by the purple lightning before.
This miracle had happened because Ji Yuan was already a purple lightning great saint and he had a partial resistance to it.
But the most important thing was Aura had materialized above Ji Yuan\'s inner spiritual sea and she was giggling with great delight, "Mass…ter, can you send more of these delicious lightnings to me? The more powerful it is, the more spiritual aura I can absorb from the golden sun…"
Ji Yuan was startled as he said to himself: Wah! This divine tree can absorb the profound power of these purple lightning? No wonder, I am barely even hurt when I was struck by the lightning despite having so little profound strength in my spiritual sea…
He was running like before again.
Huo Mingdi shouted to the rest, "Quick! Follow Great Saint Ji Yuan! It is safe if we follow him! I can\'t explain it but the lightning is only aiming him…"
Everyone could see that the lightning was only aiming for Ji Yuan and they were a little speechless but they all ran after Ji Yuan nevertheless.
Shui Xisi was looking a little awkward because she had not believed Ji Yuan that the purple lightning was aiming him.
