Chapter 238 Attack on the Back Mountain
After Lan Yunyan won the championship, the cheers from the audience seemed to overturn the dome of the martial arts arena.
She slowly sheathed her sword, her gaze sweeping across the excited crowd, finally landing on the Star Pavilion disciple lying on the ground. Frowning slightly, she quickly stepped forward, extending a hand to help him up.
"You are very strong." The disciples of Xingchen Pavilion looked at Lan Yunyan. Although there was reluctance in their eyes, there was more admiration for her.
Lan Yunyan shook her head slightly, "You're not bad either. Today's battle was a narrow victory."
At this moment, the elders from all the major sects appeared at the martial arts arena.
The leader of Qingyun Sect wore a pleased smile and strode towards Lan Yunyan, "Lan Yunyan, you have brought honor to our Qingyun Sect today!"
Lan Yunyan saluted, "Master, this is my responsibility."
However, amidst this celebration, a hidden atmosphere was quietly spreading.
In the crowd, a mysterious man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, was staring at Lan Yunyan coldly.
He is a spy of the Dark Church. He came to the sect exchange conference to find people with special physiques. The powerful potential and unique soul power fluctuations displayed by Lan Yunyan in the battle attracted his great attention.
"Hmph, this woman must have a big secret. If I can bring her back to the Vatican and present her to the Pope, I will be rewarded handsomely." The mysterious man thought secretly.
After the award ceremony, Lan Yunyan returned to Qingyun Sect with the Sect Master. Along the way, she was welcomed by numerous disciples, with flowers and applause.
But she did not become complacent because of this. Instead, she returned to her residence and began to practice in seclusion, trying to consolidate the new realm she had realized in battle.
During the retreat, the mysterious figure from the Dark Church was secretly plotting a conspiracy. He contacted his accomplices lurking near the Qingyun Sect, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Lan Yunyan when she came out of retreat.
A few days later, Lan Yunyan came out of seclusion. She felt that her soul power had become more condensed, and her understanding of the Qingfeng Sword Technique had reached a new level.
She walked out of the room, ready to go to the back hills to practice swordplay, but on the way she noticed something strange. A faint, dark aura filled the air, and it made her feel uneasy.
Suddenly, a group of dark shadows emerged from all directions, led by the mysterious man seen in the martial arts arena.
"Lan Yunyan, come with us. My master is very interested in you." The mysterious man sneered.
Lan Yunyan's heart trembled, and she quickly drew her sword. "Who are you? How dare you act so wildly in Qingyun Sect!"
"Hmph, we are from the Dark Church. If you behave well, you might suffer less." Before the mysterious man finished speaking, he launched the attack first.
He danced with his hands, and dark magic swept towards the blue clouds and smoke like black flames.
Lan Yunyan did not dare to delay and used the "Gentle Breeze Blowing Willows" technique with flashing sword shadows to dissolve the black flames one by one.
But she discovered that these people from the Dark Church cooperated well with each other, their attacks were continuous, and their dark magic seemed to have a certain inhibitory effect on her soul power.
During the battle, Lan Yunyan gradually fell into trouble. Her body began to feel tired, while the enemy's attacks became more and more fierce.
At the critical moment, she remembered the feeling of stimulating the hidden power in her body in the finals, so she closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to awaken that power again.
Suddenly, a golden light shone around her, and the power of the Qingfeng Sword Technique increased dramatically. She unleashed the Star-Breaking Wind Sword, and a golden sword energy rushed towards the enemy like a whirlwind.
The people of the Dark Church were pushed back several steps by this sudden powerful force, but they did not give up. Instead, they adjusted their tactics and continued to besiege Lan Yunyan.
Just as Lan Yunyan was struggling to hold on, the elders of Qingyun Sect noticed something unusual in the back mountain and rushed to support her.
Lan Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Sect Master and the elders appear. Under the combined attack of the crowd, the members of the Dark Church, realizing the situation was dire, fled.
"Lan Yunyan, are you okay?" the sect leader asked with concern.
Lan Yunyan shook her head and said, "Disciple is fine. Thank you, Sect Master, and the elders for arriving in time."
Lan Yunyan asked the sect master to enter the deep spiritual veins in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect to practice in seclusion. The spiritual energy there is rich and pure, which will help her further improve her soul power and sword skills.
The sect leader readily agreed and arranged for several guardian elders to guard the surrounding area to prevent the Dark Church from attacking again.
Deep within the spiritual veins, Lan Yunyan sat cross-legged beside a spiritual spring, surrounded by a tangible spiritual energy. She closed her eyes and concentrated, first slowly circulating her soul power, sorting out the chaotic aura left over from the previous battle.
As her soul power circulated, she could clearly feel that her compatibility with the Qingfeng Sword Technique was gradually improving. Every bit of her soul power seemed to become more obedient, and could be condensed and released accurately according to the key points of the sword technique.
She began to review the final match with the disciples of the Star Pavilion, especially the "Star Wind-Breaking Sword".
During the fierce battle, although this sword move was extremely powerful, she knew that there was still a lot that could be improved.
She tried to simulate the battle scene in her mind, adjusting the output rhythm of her soul power and the trajectory of the sword's swing, imagining how to make the sword energy more condensed, and how to maximize her speed and strength at the moment of drawing the sword.
She also did not slack off at all when it came to the basic sword moves in the Qingfeng Sword Technique, such as "Qingfeng Fu Liu".
She knew very well that foundation is the cornerstone of a tall building. Only by practicing basic sword moves to perfection can she perform advanced sword moves with ease.
So, she performed "Gentle Breeze on Willows" over and over again. The sword shadows were initially a bit stiff, but gradually became agile and natural, like a breeze gently blowing on willow branches. Every dance could cause the surrounding spiritual energy to fluctuate slightly, as if it had merged with nature.
During the training process, Lan Yunyan also tried to incorporate what he learned from fighting with other masters at the exchange conference into his own sword skills.
She thought of the Buddha's Light Defense of the disciples of Tianyin Temple and wondered how to incorporate similar defensive elements into her own sword moves so that offense and defense could be more perfectly combined.
After countless attempts and failures, she finally figured out a method.
