Chapter 275 Finally found you!
"Junior Sister Jiang, please wait."
Wang Zhao eagerly stepped forward.
Jiang Churan paused, recognized the person, and nodded slightly: "Senior Brother Wang".
"My junior sister displayed incredible power today, breaking the immortal record; it was truly amazing."
Wang Zhao offered his congratulations with a smile.
Immediately, as if he had just thought of something, he slapped his forehead and said in his booming voice:
"Oh dear! What a forgetful me! I was so busy being happy for Junior Sister Jiang..."
"Junior Sister Jiang, you don't know yet, do you? My godfather... uh, Senior Brother Li Wudao is back..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously asked, "Where is he?"
"Over there—"
Wang Zhao chuckled and enthusiastically pointed out Li Wudao's location.
"Shh-!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned sharply to him.
Countless gazes, filled with curiosity, inquiry, and astonishment...
Like a spotlight, it instantly locked onto the boy standing at the edge of the crowd.
"Is he Li Wudao, the one who broke into the top 500 of the Xuan Tian Ranking?"
"She looks so pretty..."
The disciples were stunned for a moment, then began to whisper among themselves.
"how come......"
In the middle of the crowd, Wu Shaotian's face instantly darkened, his pupils shrank, and he stared intently at Li Wudao in the arena.
"Impossible... He should be dead beyond any doubt by now, how could he still be alive?!"
A storm raged within him, accompanied by shock, anger, and unease.
What is Cheng Yuanliang, that good-for-nothing, good for? He can't even handle an insignificant character like an ant?
"......"
Feeling the intense gazes sweeping over him, Li Wudao's relaxed heartstrings tightened, and the smile on his lips froze.
whee?
No hehe!
He helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead with it.
This is just great.
The stage didn't collapse, but the audience was dragged directly to the center of the stage.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was no way to avoid it.
Li Wudao took a deep breath and had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk towards the center of the square under the gaze of thousands of eyes.
When passing by Wang Zhao.
He paused slightly, turned his head, and squeezed out five words through gritted teeth: "Thank you."
"Hey! Don't be so polite, Godfather!"
Wang Zhao was taken aback, then grinned broadly and smiled brightly:
"Dude, I just mentioned it casually so that Junior Sister Jiang knows you're back."
"..."
A black line appeared on Li Wudao's forehead.
He said in a low voice, sounding annoyed, "That's a good point... Don't mention it again."
"what?"
Wang Zhao's smile froze, and he scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.
He turned to look at Qiu Zishi: "Old Qiu, I have a feeling... that my godfather doesn't seem too happy?"
Akiko silently turned her face to the side, her shoulders twitching suspiciously twice.
Li Wudao ignored the fool and continued forward.
The crowd parted the road like a tide.
His gaze passed over the throng of people and landed directly on the figure in pure white.
Just then, a mountain breeze swept by.
Jiang Churan stood in the direction from which the wind was blowing.
She stood there quietly, like the purest jade tree after a snowfall.
Although her white clothes were stained with dust, they only made her skin appear even more translucent and fair, highlighting her graceful figure and giving off a soft glow in the morning light.
Wind blows.
He brushed aside a few stray hairs from her forehead, and also stirred the hem of her plain white dress, making her look like a celestial maiden who might ride the wind and return at any moment.
As if blinded by the wind, her slender, jade-like fingers unconsciously rose and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her lustrous ear.
The movements are gentle, with fingertips tracing the curve of the earlobe.
At this moment——
Her gaze met Li Wudao's, who was walking through the crowd and looking at her.
Time seemed to be stretched out by an invisible hand.
The noise faded away, and the figures became blurry.
Eyes facing each other.
He saw the slightest ripple in her eyes, fleeting and gone.
She saw the helplessness and faint smile on his face.
"came back."
"Ah."
They exchanged a brief glance, nodded to each other, and said nothing more.
Everything seemed to be understood implicitly in just a few words.
.......
"Wu Dao, did your trip go smoothly? You weren't injured, were you?"
At this moment, the voice of Sect Leader Murong Yan broke the delicate atmosphere.
He stepped forward, approached Li Wudao, and inquired with concern.
Li Wudao snapped out of his daze, composed himself, and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting:
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, although there were some twists and turns on this trip, it went relatively smoothly. This disciple was not seriously injured, thank you for your concern, Sect Leader."
"That's good."
Murong Yan smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying with satisfaction:
"You've worked hard these past few days. Take a good rest while you're back at the sect."
These seemingly ordinary conversations and actions, however, aroused surprise and subtle glances from the surrounding high-ranking officials.
The sect leader has always been dignified and composed. Although he cares for his disciples, he usually urges them on strictly. When has he ever been so gentle with any young disciple?
Not to mention personally patting them on the shoulder to encourage them, they wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
unless.......
This child's talent, potential, or the connections behind him are so great that even the sect leader must take them seriously!
For a time, the eyes of many sect leaders were once again focused on Li Wudao, with a stronger sense of scrutiny.
Several astute elders even took the opportunity, using the sect leader's words as a pretext, to subtly express goodwill:
"I had long heard that Junior Nephew Li was exceptionally talented, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."
"If you have some free time, nephew, you are welcome to visit my Pill and Weapon Peak. I still have some pills there..."
"......"
This scene, in Wu Shaotian's eyes, was even more painful than being killed!
"Damn it!"
His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and veins popped out on his forehead.
Why? !
He is the true young sect leader!
He is the true successor of the sect!
Jealousy consumed him, scorching his reason, and old and new grudges surged into his heart. The killing intent in Wu Shaotian's eyes almost materialized.
"Li Wudao...you must die!!!"
Suddenly.
Li Wudao, who was dealing with several elders, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!
"There's murderous intent! And it's coming for me..."
He instantly became alert.
Within the sect, he had almost eliminated all his mortal enemies, so who else would harbor such murderous intent towards him?
Could it be... a lurking demon spy?!
Almost instinctively, Li Wudao suddenly raised his eyes and swept them in the direction from which the killing intent was coming.
His gaze pierced through the crowd and locked precisely on Wu Shaotian.
The latter's contorted expression froze, clearly not expecting the other party to be so perceptive. He had no time to conceal his true feelings and was caught red-handed.
Although Wu Shaotian reacted extremely quickly, instantly adjusting his expression and even smiling and nodding to Li Wudao.
But Li Wudao would never forget the astonishing killing intent that flashed in the other party's eyes!
"Could it be him...?"
Li Wudao frowned, a bold guess forming in his mind.
The next instant, Haotian Eye opened, and the power of the double pupils secretly enhanced it.
With a two-pronged approach, his gaze seemed to transform into a sharp sword that could see through falsehoods, scrutinizing Wu Shaotian.
In an instant, a set of clear information appeared before his "eyes":
Name: Wu Shaotian
[Age: 26 years old]
[Talent: High-grade Earth Rank]
[Realm: Perfected Martial King]
[Special Physique: Innate Demonic Body (Mastery)]
[Luck: Low-grade Heavenly Level]
[Recent events:........]
Li Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly as he instantly understood the cause and effect, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
"finally found you!"
