Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 74

Fang Yus stifling aura could be felt by everyone in the Ardent Yin Sect. While some of the newer disciples were confused, those who had stayed in the sect for a longer period of time were aware of what it meant. And although it put uncomfortable pressure on them and even the Elders, none dared to complain.

Rather, they were all looking at that familiar silhouette in the sky with great excitement.

The First Yin Pavilion Master has returned!

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yu finally withdrew her spiritual sense and aura.

She slowly opened her eyes and surprisingly, three unfamiliar people were floating just a distance away. There was one man and two women. Judging from their clothing, it was obvious they werent from the sect.

They had appeared without a sound, even her spiritual sense wasnt able to capture the moment of their arrival.

Her eyes instantly landed on the man wearing a veil.

Its him.

Fang Yu instinctively knew that it was this person whom she had been looking for in the beginning.

She coldly stared at him but her eyes fluttered with emotions.

She could still remember that warm feeling during a moment of what seemed to be a never-ending sleep. In all the years that she has fought against the horrifying darkness that threatened to consume her, Fang Yu had never felt more at peace than when facing that gentle warmth.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the side of her face. For some reason, it didnt seem like that feeling had ever left.

Just when she was lost in her thought, one of the two women approached her.

Fang Yu noticed the black robe on this person looked identical to the one the man was wearing.

Senior Fang Yu, Im Xiao Yueyin. Do you remember me?

Xiao Yueyin?

Fang Yu subtly raised an eyebrow and contemplated.

Xiao Yueyin

After a few seconds of repeating that name, her eyes lit up from the spark of sudden realization.

Youre the Heaven Chosen from the Arcane Mountain.

Xiao Yueyin nodded before shaking her head, Im no longer the Heaven Chosen but an Elder of the Combat Hall now.

Yes Fang Yu emotionally sighed, That makes sense. The last time I saw you, you were still in your teens, and now, you have already grown up. I could barely recognize you.

How has Dong Zongying been? She asked.

Sect Master has been doing well.

Fang Yu simply nodded and said nothing more. She turned her attention back to the man in the veil.

Xiao Yueyin awkwardly brushes back her hair. She wasnt a talkative person to begin with, so after just a short conversation, she had already run out of things to say.

Shortly after, Fang Yu flew past Xiao Yueyin and stopped before the tall man. She was only barely able to get a glimpse of his eyes and nothing else. Without any hesitation, she released her spiritual sense to see his appearance but it went through him as though he didnt exist.

Seeing this, Fang Yus eyes narrowed with suspicion.

She brought back her spiritual sense and reached for the veil to pull it off. Just when she was just a few centimeters from touching it, Fang Yu felt a powerful grip on her arm.

She looked over and saw the beautiful woman with silver eyes calmly staring at her.

Fang Yu frowned. She tried to pull her arm away but she could barely budge.

Youre quite the rude one. The beautiful woman said before indifferently letting go.

Fang Yu withdrew her arm and coldly stared at the silver-eyed woman as a powerful aura begin to surge from within her body.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

Xiao Yueyin rushed over after feeling the rise in tension.

Senior Fang Yu, this is my sister Xia Lihua and this is Ji Xian. Hes the one who extracted the Nether Water from you.

Fang Yu seemed to have ignored Xiao Yueyin. She was still staring at Xia Lihua, who was calmly smiling back, but the temperature eventually became normal again.

She turned to Ji Xian and asked in a frosty tone, Youre from the Graha race?

What? Xiao Yueyin exclaimed, Senior, youre mistaken. Ji Xian isnt a Graha.

Fang Yu shook her head, Only a Graha couldve removed the Nether Water from within me. Its an ability only they can use and control.

Xiao Yueyins eyebrows pinched. The records we have at the Mountain never mentioned this.

She had read all the books in the library of the Arcane Mountain on the Graha race, although the information was limited, its well known that they specialize in souls. In the war centuries ago, there werent any cases of a Graha manipulating Nether Water, otherwise, it wouldve been recorded!

I also wasnt aware that they have this ability. Fang Yu slowly spoke, But the one who attacked me over twenty years ago used it against me.

She looked at Ji Xian, You must be one of those left behind from the last war.

Xia Lihua listened in with some amusement. Fang Yu actually thought Ji Xian was a Graha due to his ability to control Nether Water. Although she was unsure as to how someone from the Graha race could use Nether Water, she wasnt surprised, she and Ji Xian had already suspected the two races had some kind of relation.

Xia Lihua couldnt help but recalled the time when she saw his memory of the fight against Yahui and Yazhu.

In Yahuis moment of exhaustion, he was no longer able to maintain his spectral form and ended up showing his true appearance.

He had pale gray skin, green eyes, and emerald hair. Yahui actually shared remarkable similarities with Di Shi of the Nether race, who once invaded the Mortal Haven World! The only difference between them was that Di Shi had white streaks in his hair while that wasnt the case for the two brothers. Their hair was full emerald green.

Xia Lihua glanced at Ji Xian. He had been a little too quiet

Ji Xians attention actually hasnt been on Fang Yu, but rather down at the Core Yin Pavilion. His eyes were alternating between two people.

He indifferently looked at the young man next to Yue Li before focusing on Li Yifan, the Second Yin Pavilion Master of the Ardent Yin Sect. One thought after another went through his mind.

Well, that's funny, two of them in the same place but it doesnt even seem like one of them recognizes the other.

What a fascinating ability Soul Subjugation...

Graha Celestial these two races must have quite the background. Perhaps only Lihua and Yueyin can compete with them in that area.

Suddenly, Ji Xian felt someone gently shaking his arm.

He looked over and saw it was Xiao Yueyin. It was obvious she wanted him to clear things up.

Ji Xian casually chuckled before looking at Fang Yu, Youre wrong about one thing.

He held out his palm to her face, Other than the Graha

Drops of black liquid seeped out from the skin of his hand as he spoke, The Nether race can also use the Nether Water.

The liquid collected itself into a ball and hovered in his palm. It stretched and spiraled around his hand. It moved as though it was alive.

Fang Yu stared at that familiar black water and a tinge of fear can be seen in her eyes.
