Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Good, this is the least the Xuantian sect can do for my Zhan clan. I still have a grudge on your sect for snatching my grand daughter. But, this can be forgotten if you look after these two properly", Zhan Youngyou spoke.

"By the way, how is my grand daughter? Is that brat Nie Tian bullying her?", Zhan Youngyou looked towards Ying Chao.

"Senior, I don't know. I have not seen madam since last forty years", Ying Chao replied. There was a respectful look on his face as he replied to Zhan Youngyou.

"Fine, I will find her myself. But before that, I want to see all the surviving members of my Zhan clan", Zhan Youngyou spoke. He took another look at Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue before vanishing from his spot.

"Phew!", Ying Chao exhaled after few moments. There was a look of relief on his face after he ascertained that Zhan Youngyou had indeed left.

"This is too much for my old bones", he murmured to himself and guided the group of Zhan Chen and Jia Lingyi out of the restriction formation.

"Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", Ying Chao felt puzzled as Zhan Chen dashed towards the minced bodies of the Heavenly sword sect. He was quick to grab few spatial rings before leaving the restriction formation.

"Zhan Chen, don't be stupid. There most be some magical treasures through which the Heavenly sword sect can trace our whereabouts", Ying Chao warned.

"Senior, you don't have to worry. We will just throw away such treasures if there are any in these spatial rings. The other spoils can be split among us. So that, all of us can benefit from this ambush", Zhan Chen replied. Ying Chao nodded his head as he was also curious to see the riches of the Heavenly sword sect experts'.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing Ying Chao agreeing to his proposal. He threw a spatial ring towards him and gave another ring to Zi Nuan.

"Senior sister, here is your share", he presented one spatial ring infront of Jia Lingyi.

Jia Lingyi hesitated for a moment before taking the spatial ring form Zhan Chen. Her eyes shone after she checked the content inside with her soul consciousness.

"These guys seem to be well fed in their sect. Now, they must be weeping as ghosts after seeing their riches in our hands", Ying Chao commented.

"Everyone, check your spatial rings properly. You can keep the essence energy stones and the magical herbs to yourselves. But you have to hand over the magical treasures stored inside your spatial rings", Ying Chao spoke.

Everyone did as they were said and gave the magical treasures to Ying Chao. There were smiles on the faces of Jia Lingyi and Zi Nuan although they had to hand over their magical treasures to Ying Chao.

Zhan Chen also gave all magical treasures to Ying Chao but he kept one to himself. This treasure was the very reason for which he went out of the way and collected the spatial rings of the deceased experts.

-------------------

To the west of the Dragon province, it was the Earth province of the Northern desert continent. The Xuantian sect was located on one of the most famous mountain ranges of the Earth province. The mountain range was not only renowned in the Earth province rather it had quite a fame across all five provinces of the central land.

The name of the mountain range was 'Blue Qilin mountain range' which was named after one of the most auspicious divine beast from the immortal world.

It was said that the divine beast 'Blue Qilin' once descended on the Northern desert continent. The mountain where it had landed came to be known as Blue Qilin mountain. The nearby mountains also became renowned along with it and came to known as Blue Qilin mountain range as a whole.

Fights broke out to occupy the auspicious land but it was the Xuantian sect founder who came as victorious among all the warring participants.

If legend was to be beleived, then he had captured a true dragon in this war. He tamed it and made it the guardian beast of the Xuantian sect. Centuries flew past but still the valiant war of the Xuantian sect founder was popular among the people from the Earth province.

"A true dragon!", Zhan Chen also felt surprise after hearing the said legend from Ying Chao. The old expert became more friendly with him after he received a spatial ring.

"I don't know whether this is true or false but this is what described in the sect library. You can take a look if you want after we arrive in the sect", Ying Chao spoke. He was in a good mood after acquiring so much riches all of a sudden.

"Forget about it. I have a different goal to pursue once I enter the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen thought to himself. The flying treasure flew in a steady pace as the group of Zhan Chen, Jia Lingyi and Ying Chao made way towards the Xuantian sect.

A subtle yet different sensation assailed their minds as they approached a shadowy mountain from some distance. The shadowy mountain gradually became clear as they flew towards it with the flying treasure.

"Wow! How beautiful", Li Shu exclaimed after they went near the tall mountain. Ying Chao smiled softly and decreased the speed of the flying treasure.

Later, it was a visual treat to everyone as they witnessed the otherworldly beauty of the Blue Qilin mountain range. Mountain after mountain passed by and each mountain had some unique beauty inherent to it.

"The core disciples of the sect can choose a peak of their own", Ying Chao informed the group of Zhan Chen. Suddenly, there were many expectant eyes on Zhan Chen and Ying Chao laughed a little after seeing the situation.

'It will make him strive for more. He is the hope of Zhan clan. So, he has to outpace others to become a core disciple of the sect', Ying Chao thought to himself.

Zhan Chen could feel that the essence energy was thickening with the distance they travelled. The air was pure and full of essence energy, the more they traveled towards the inner circle of the Blue Qilin mountain range.

Finally, few cultivators appeared infront of their eyes when they touched the inner circle of the mountain range. Ying Chao stopped the flying treasure and looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Look downward. The cultivators who are patrolling there are the white guards of our sect. They will take you to the entrance where you will have to register yourselves.

You will receive an identification token which you have to keep with you all the time. The girls with you also need to register themselves and two of them of them will receive the outer court token. Other girls will be completely dependent on you and you have to arrange their matters yourself.

Here are some communication tailsman. You can contact me whenever you want if you face any trouble", Ying Chao spoke. He introduced Zhan Chen's group to the white guards and left with Jia Lingyi.
