Chapter 19 Cloud Soaring Sect 2.
Chapter 19 Cloud Soaring Sect 2.
"Didn't you say last time that my master was imprisoned in the Ice Abyss? I asked my grandmaster, and he said that my master was bewitched by that witch."
Moreover, the witch possessed his master's only blood relative with spiritual roots.
Later, the sect sent people to the mortal realm, and the master's descendants were wiped out.
No one from the entire Mao family survived.
Even more strangely, the defensive jade slip that his master gave to his bloodline descendants to protect their lives did not work.
"My master almost went berserk in his cultivation, but was awakened by my grandmaster and went to the outer battlefield on his own!" Mao Hongsheng said.
"Grandmaster said that Master didn't want to live anymore. Actually, Master must have really loved that mortal girl back then!"
He has never forgotten her all these years, and his affection for that junior sister extends to everything related to her.
"Actually, Master really was back then..." Mao Hongsheng didn't know how to say it, and his voice choked up.
The three looked at each other and said, "Sorry." After all, the incident was caused by their specific learning activities.
"It's alright. Master even said he was grateful to you. If that witch of yours hadn't actually succeeded, he would have been in even more pain."
For so many years, he had been diligently managing Tifeng, and he did not want his hard work to be destroyed by that witch's conspiracy.
He also asked us to convey his apologies to you, and finally left his cultivation technique behind. Senior Sister Yuqiu should give it to you later. Mao Hongsheng shook his head.
"So what will you do after that?"
"The senior disciples, including the eldest brother, are currently cultivating with all their might."
If Senior Sister Yuqiu breaks through to the Dao Integration Realm, it won't be appropriate for them, the disciples, to stay on Body Peak indefinitely.
As for me, I will probably cultivate as quickly as possible, break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and then go to the outer sect to find a position as an elder.
I can't let myself, the disciple of the previous peak master, take up the share of the direct disciples.
Although Senior Sister Yuqiu won't mind, I'll still feel awkward.
In fact, Mao Hongsheng faced the most difficult situation. Generally, when the peak master changes, he will occasionally take on disciples based on the strength of his subordinates.
Moreover, after the change, they would also bring their disciples into the back mountain.
But Mao Hongsheng was different; his master had entered the so-called battlefield, and it was uncertain whether he would survive.
In other words, he is currently in a state where he has a mentor, but it's almost the same as not having one.
Moreover, he has been a member of the sect for the shortest time, and his participation in the Foundation Establishment Competition this time may well be for the purpose of earning a better treatment in the future.
“If you don’t feel comfortable staying at Tifeng Peak, you can come to Canglan Peak. It’ll just be me and Master, so we won’t leave you out.” Cheng Jiu patted his friend on the shoulder.
"You're welcome to Yanqian Peak too, even though we're currently living on Canglan Peak, haha!" Gong Cheng and Gong Yu hugged him. No matter what, he still had his three little friends!
"Thank you." Although Mao Hongsheng was a very easygoing person, his senior brothers and sisters were very protective of him.
However, rumors inevitably circulated about what would happen if Senior Sister Yuqiu took on a disciple and became the peak master in the future.
Mao Hongsheng believed that his senior brothers and sisters would not abandon him, but the young boy's pride was still a little hurt.
"I'm hungry." Cheng Jiu touched his stomach, feeling hungry as soon as he felt a little better.
"I packed a lot of food from our peak canteen, we can eat together." Mao Hongxuan took out a lot of food from his bag.
"You don't know how good the method you implemented at our peak last time was. Those master chefs could earn extra portions in addition to the allowance given by the peak."
The main peak can also extract a considerable profit from it, and senior students from the other peaks also come to the main peak for meals.
Our team at Tifeng is much better off now. Senior Sister Yuqiu even said she wanted to come and thank you.
“I made a lot of money back then. It’s also because the food at Tifeng is so delicious.” Cheng Jiu picked up some food and ate heartily.
The journey from Guiyuan Sect to Yunxiao Sect takes two days and one night in the air. The trip is not without its challenges.
“There are demonic birds attacking ahead. Senior Brother said that you Foundation Establishment cultivators should stay inside the warehouse and not go out.”
The next day, Qin Che warned the three of them, and Mao Hongsheng also came over from the side passage, so the four of them simply stayed in one room.
That way, if anything happens, we can help each other out, since the four rooms are relatively close together.
"These were given to me by Senior Sister Yuqiu yesterday. Each of you will receive a bag as a token of my gratitude. She couldn't come yesterday because she was on night duty, so she asked me to apologize to you." Mao Hongsheng took out three storage bags from his pocket and gave one to each of you.
The three of them opened the box and found a jade slip containing a body cultivation technique, a pile of top-grade spirit stones, and most precious of all, several medicinal herbs packed in boxes. These were rare body-refining herbs that were highly sought after and extremely rare outside the market.
"How generous!" Even a wealthy young master like Gong Cheng Gong Yu exclaimed in admiration, which shows the value of the gift.
"You're welcome," Mao Hongsheng waved his hand. Suddenly, the airship lurched, and a sharp, piercing sound came from outside. The sound seemed to attack the soul, and all four of them covered their ears and buried their heads in pain.
The jade pendant on Cheng Jiu's body slowly released a cool and gentle aura, relieving the pain in her head.
"Damn it, have they gone mad? Even a demon beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage has come!" Curses could be heard from outside. The elder accompanying the ship shouted, "Golden Core stage disciples, all of you, return to the ship! Nascent Soul stage disciples, activate the formation!"
Outside, the flying boat lit up with beams of light, the array patterns slowly connecting and taking shape, and a beam of white light shot into the sky, directly hitting the demon bird.
The demonic bird, unable to dodge in time, cried out in pain. The sound waves grew even sharper, causing even the Nascent Soul stage disciples to clutch their heads and weep.
"Damn it!" the elder cursed inwardly. They weren't the kind of geniuses who could leapfrog levels, but he absolutely couldn't let this demonic bird enter the boat, as it contained the future of the Guiyuan Sect.
In previous years, those at the Dao Integration Realm were able to escort them safely. This year, in order to be on the safe side, the sect sent two or three more, but unexpectedly, a demon bird at the Tribulation Transcending Realm appeared this year.
Suddenly, Yuefeng's disciples appeared out of nowhere, and beautiful music flowed from their fingertips.
Amidst the music, the disciples whose consciousness had been attacked by the sound gradually recovered and reformed their formation.
The four elders also seized the opportunity to launch an attack, with talismans and magical treasures coming one after another, amidst the flashing of swords and the clash of blades.
The demonic bird flew around and attacked relentlessly, but under the human's magical weapons and the continuous assault, it was ultimately defeated in despair.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a man and a woman suddenly appeared in the sky, their auras extremely imposing. The woman was exceptionally beautiful, while the man was utterly hideous!
The elder exclaimed in horror, "Demons! How could demons at the Mahayana stage appear in the cultivation world?"
The woman smiled charmingly, looking at him with great appreciation. "I didn't expect there would be someone here who knows us."
"Enough talk, let's get started. We're not staying here long. If those people find us and come over, this operation will fail!"
"Don't be like that useless Meiji, who has been lurking for over a hundred years without finding out a single useful piece of information!" The man said nothing more and went straight through the heart of an elder.
"Activate the great formation! Activate the great formation!" The elders did not even think about hiding. Perhaps the Dao Integration stage was no different from the Mahayana stage, but they still rushed forward without hesitation.
Everyone on the ship saw the elder rush forward and then self-destruct. Three Dao Integration Realm cultivators self-destructed, tearing the entire space apart!
The jade boat swayed constantly, like a small boat on the ocean, while the disciples supporting the formation continuously performed hand seals, doing their utmost to support it and prevent it from being torn apart by space.
Cheng Jiu and Gong Yu, the brothers, gripped the jade slip tightly. They had sensed something was wrong when they learned of the attack by the demon bird and had asked their master for help.
Although it might be unnecessary, it can't hurt to report it. Hopefully, their message will reach their master.
"Junior Sister, what if the message doesn't get sent?" Gong Cheng Gong Yu was completely at a loss. Although she had faced death once before, it didn't mean she could remain calm when facing death again.
"Then we can only curse our master!" Cheng Jiu said seriously!
"?" The three of them looked at her.
"I've heard that the Great One can sense when someone speaks ill of them, especially between master and disciple, and some warriors have already tested this for us."
Cheng Jiu felt that his master was the best in the world, but the other three did not feel the same way and all began to loudly curse their master.
Not only in their room, but the other rooms also started doing it, so how did they hear what Cheng Jiu was saying?
It can only be said that there were quite a few Golden Core stage cultivators among them. They were very sharp-witted and quick-witted, and they started cursing anyone who thought their master was a great power.
At this point, there's no need to think about anything anymore. They'll settle scores later, but now that they're dead, they can no longer settle scores later.
However, you can tell how their relationship with their master is from the way they curse. Some curse in a more refined way, while others curse more violently.
The demons outside, who were at the Mahayana stage, cursed those elders at the Dao Integration stage, saying that this method was far too dirty.
They had originally sealed off this area, but after the space was torn apart, the Heavenly Dao also took notice of it.
These demons were never meant to be tolerated by this world. Heaven was also biased, and the disciples on the boat were all quite talented; in short, their luck was exceptional.
The spatial tearing and repulsion were all directed at the two demons.
Although the spaceship was restrained by the spatial tear, compared to them, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Suddenly, a sword light pierced out from behind them. The woman didn't react in time and was pierced through the heart.
The man's hands were severed by a sword flash.
Two peerless immortals appeared before them, and those on the boat who recognized them immediately exclaimed, "It's Venerable Qingxu and Venerable Qingyang! We're saved!"
Gongcheng and Gongyu heard it too, and couldn't help but stop their cursing, feeling a bit embarrassed. But don't worry, Master, they still have a lot of love and respect for them.
Cheng Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief; if her master hadn't come soon, she would have joined the ranks of those cursing him.
"Meng Ji? Ah, you two deserve to die!" The man's hands suddenly grew out.
Neither of them were surprised; they had killed countless such monsters in the past.
They knew that if they weren't killed in one blow, they would regenerate, just like those damned maggots.
The two were not afraid at all; he was just a mere Mahayana cultivator.
The sect leader also brought a large group of cultivators, with three Mahayana stage cultivators leading the way.
Cheng Jiu's method was quite underhanded, but it actually worked quite well.
The Heavenly Dao, based on the cause and effect of the disciples' curses, went to their master and sensed all the crises and the curses directed at them. For every curse they uttered, the Heavenly Dao sensed it.
The fact that so many people were cursing them made the sect leader come out. He saw that the number of people was really abnormal, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that they were the masters of the disciples on the flying boat.
If they can't even handle four Dao Integration Realm cultivators, it seems they must be facing a Mahayana Realm cultivator.
He immediately became anxious, for those figures represented the future of the Guiyuan Sect.
He immediately sought help from the back mountain. The back mountain then sent three Mahayana cultivators to accompany him.
The demon was no match for Qingxu Venerable and Qingyang Venerable, and was preparing to flee when the sect leader's men happened to run into them.
Seeing that escape was impossible, it chose to self-destruct. However, it was trapped by the leader, a Mahayana cultivator, and then the three of them took the demon away together.
The cultivation world hasn't seen demons for nearly 100,000 years, so their frequent appearances this time seem completely abnormal.
They also tried to catch the mastermind, but the other party was too cunning.
They failed to capture the mastermind behind the scenes, only managing to apprehend a few pawns, who remained clueless and yielded no useful information.
This demon is at least at the Mahayana stage, so he should be able to get some information out of him.
The sect leader checked on the disciples below and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no major losses.
Senior Brother Nan Yanzhe said with sorrow, "Uncle Nanmu was killed by that witch with a single blow to the heart, while Uncles Nanhuo, Nantu, and Nanshui sacrificed themselves for us."
Several of the disciples' junior brothers were attacked by the demonic bird and killed, their consciousness penetrated to the sea of consciousness. Le Feng's junior sisters were also unable to escape back to the warehouse in time and were severely injured by the two demons' oppressive aura; some could not be saved, resulting in a heavy loss of life.
"You've done your best to ensure so many disciples survived the attack by two Mahayana-stage demons." The sect leader didn't want to see his eldest disciple become so despondent. After all, the disciple had been quite responsible, and he only wanted to pass the position of sect leader to him in the future.
"Master, are we still going to participate in the sect competition?"
"They still have to go!" The sect leader couldn't bear to see these disciples who had participated in the great battle go to participate in the so-called sect competition again.
However, the sect competition is where the five major sects ostensibly distribute some resources, and their sect cannot afford not to participate. "Apart from our Guiyuan Sect, none of the other sects have been attacked."
"?" Nan Yanzhe's eyes widened. "Why is the Demon Clan only targeting the Guiyuan Sect?"
"It's not just targeting the Guiyuan Sect. Weren't your three grandmaster uncles attacked by the demons last time?"
Then, through our timely investigation, we found that Guiyuan Sect suffered the least loss.
Although other sects conducted timely investigations, the demons from those sects became even more unscrupulous.
Several demons at the Tribulation Transcending stage even self-destructed, resulting in considerable losses.
Meanwhile, our Guiyuan Sect is trying to remain aloof, and all these actions are aimed at weakening the strength of the five major sects.
This time, they actually sent a Mahayana cultivator to ambush us. The sect leader thought back to his initial relief, but now he felt utterly disgusted.
It must be understood that even experts at the Dao Integration Realm are not unimportant to their Guiyuan Sect. The loss of these four Dao Integration Realm experts is already enough to cause Guiyuan Sect heartache.
"Although the five major sects currently dominate the cultivation world, the other sects and forces below them are not without their covetous eyes."
It was decided at the beginning that the sect competition would be used to allocate resources. If we don't participate this year, the resources from the past ten years will be transferred to other sects.
Although the Guiyuan Sect could not afford such a loss, it would still have an impact on the sect. The sect leader sighed.
Nan Yanzhe nodded in understanding. "Master, please rest assured that my fellow disciples and I will definitely bring glory to the sect and achieve good results!"
The disciples below also heard this and secretly resolved to work harder.
This attack has made the sect disciples more united, which is a source of comfort for the sect leader.
