260 He’s a Very Reliable Person
Jade Mirage Mountain was located in the center of the entire Central Plains, the legendary sect where fate energy gathered.
The founding master had formed a mountain-protecting formation with the 49 underground spiritual veins – the Returning Origin Heaven-Suppressing Formation.
Tall and steep mountains rose from the ground, with a radius of thousands of miles. They were all connected by chains extending from the formation core and corner towers in all directions and suspended in the air. This was Jade Mirage Mountain.
The mountains were full of exotic flowers and plants, rare spirit beasts were running around, and there were rows of pavilions. The bluestone roads were particularly elegant under the shade of the verdant trees, and the streams on the edge of the cliffs turned into waterfalls and rivers on the ground.
The area covered by Jade Mirage Mountain was the spirit beast breeding farm of Jade Mirage Sect, which was comparable to the size of an entire country of mortals.
This was one of the hidden secrets of an old Immortal sect.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere on Jade Mirage Mountain was not as peaceful as it used to be. Instead, it was very tense and serious.
The demonic sect attacked the mountain.
The Jade Mirage Sect was in an uproar when they heard the news.
It might not be appropriate to say this, but for-moment, the entire Jade Mirage sect was in shock and felt a little absurd.
Why would the demonic sect suddenly attack the mountain?
Moreover, it was at this time.
“Two Guardians from Gu Sect, ‘Buddha Mouth Snake Heart’ Wu Tianzong and ‘Scorpion Beauty’ A’Duru, are both Masters of the Form Synthesis stage. There’s also ‘Ten Thousand Maple Rivers’ from the Poison Sect. These three have already led a group of demonic cult followers into the second layer of the formation. The soul lamps of the elders and disciples guarding the first layer of the formation have been extinguished… I’m afraid that none of the disciples outside the first layer are alive.”
The reporting elder’s face was full of grief as he trembled and said.
Vast Sea Palace Master supported the elder who was on the verge of collapsing. A look of anger flashed across his face as he clenched his fists tightly. His gaze fell on the Sect Master Sheng’e who was giving orders to the people to start the defense. He secretly wondered why the demonic sect had to come at this time. He sighed and patted the elder’s shoulder. “Go and gather all the disciples who are below the void training stage. Don’t cause any unnecessary casualties.”
“Yes.” The elder took his leave.
The Scarlet Fire Palace Master, who was standing at the side, was a fat man who looked amiable. He also looked at the source of the disaster and his gaze even swept across Ling Yu. He said, “The demonic sect being able to break through the first layer of the formation so quickly should be due to that ‘Ten Thousand Maple River’ Xu Xinhong. He’s a traitor to our Dao sects. I’m afraid he’s already studied the flaws of the first layer of the formation and has been hiding it all this time.”
He frowned. “I don’t understand. The few people from the demonic cults who attacked today don’t have high cultivation. They don’t have many people with them. If it was just to interfere, it would be too much of a disturbance. If you plan to take advantage of the war in the North and our Daoist headquarters is empty to steal something, this is clearly a hasty rebellion.”
Vast Sea Palace Master nodded and muttered, “I also find this timing strange… It’s too much of a coincidence.”
In everyone’s impression, the demon cult’s main force should be in the North, fighting fiercely with the joint attack and defense of the demon beast race, barbarian race, and human race. A large number of the cult’s Elders, Guardians, and Priests had gathered there, and the battle had gradually entered a white-hot state.
There was also an unprecedented battle between the demonic woman, Pihuan Luo, and the Green Lotus swordsman, Shen Sifan.
The two of them looked at each other.
That’s right, this timing just so happened to be when they were in trouble. In this way, although the demonic sect’s attack on the mountain was not necessarily more important than the Ling Hua being bewitched by the demon race to ‘betray the sect’, it was far more urgent than the latter.
The first thing to do was to deal with the demonic sect. The matter of Ling Hua would not be put on hold for the time being, but at least the impact would be reduced…
This was a demonic sect attacking the mountain!
Ever since the Jade Mirage Sect had become the publicly acknowledged number one Immortal sect in the Central Plains, they had always been like the sun in the sky and had an awe-inspiring prestige. Even the demonic sect had to be wary of them. When had they ever encountered such a brazen attack?
And as soon as he came up, the first layer of the famous mountain-protecting formation was broken without any effort.
No one would care if the person who broke the formation was a traitor. The Green Centipede would only write in the next day’s newspaper: ‘Shocking, the great mountain-protecting formation of the Jade Mirage Sect was easily broken by the demonic sect!’
Such a headline… How embarrassing…
In this way, even the ‘Ling Hua being bewitched by the demon race who had reappeared’ will be perceived as the work of the demon sect.
Could it really be like this? These terrorist organizations loved to ‘claim’ some terrorist attacks. Perhaps the demonic sect would really shamelessly admit it.
In that case, the nature of this matter was different.
Originally, they wanted to paint a picture of Ling Hua’s weak will, but now it had become a plot that the damned demon sect had been planning for a long time against the Eldest Senior Sister.
The inner disciples might even have thought that the demonic sect dared to attack the mountain because Eldest Senior Sister was not here.
Vast Sea Palace Master felt as regretful as he had felt when he forced Sheng’e to give the order to capture Ling Hua.
That damned demonic sect!
Of all times, they had to come at this time!
With a black face, he summoned the subordinate elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and gritted his teeth to give an order. He must cut the people from the demonic sect into ten thousand pieces, leaving no one behind.
After making the arrangements, he could not help but sigh. Many wrinkles gathered on his old face, and it could be said that his face was full of worry-this was simply an eventful autumn.
The one in charge of dealing with the demonic sect’s attack was the Vast Sea Palace. As the Palace Master, he had merely given an order. Although more than half of the sect’s disciples and elders had been sent to the North to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the demonic sect, the ones left behind were still the elites. It was not as if they could not even deal with these three demonic sect Guardians.
Moreover, there were not many people from the demon cult this time. Other than being caught off guard and reacting hastily, which led to the disciples in the first level of the formation not being able to escape, there were no more serious consequences.
More importantly, he had to comfort his disciples and restore the array.
“Although the great mountain-protecting formation is powerful, if we rely on it all the time, we will only bring about our own destruction. This incident is enough to give us a warning. After we kill the demonic cult, we will gather people to rebuild the Returning Origin Heaven-Suppressing Formation.”
After Sheng’e gave his instructions, he dismissed everyone.
Ling Yu, who had been standing at the side, said, “Master, what about Eldest Senior Sister?”
“Sigh.” The old man looked down at the distant mountains and fog, then at the great hall behind him. He said bitterly, “I’m just too useless.”
Although he had been forced to become the Sect Master, after so many years, he was far less ambitious than his seniors and junior brothers back then. Otherwise, the power of the three palaces would not have grown stronger and stronger, to the point that they were suspected to have overshadowed the Sect Master.
He had always been a carefree person, but he did not expect that he could not even protect his own disciple now.
Ling Yu could not bear it and consoled him, “Master, you don’t have to worry too much. Eldest Senior Sister is so powerful. Besides… she has that Jiang Feng. Oh, he should be called Liu Yuan now. He’s a very reliable person. If he’s really an old acquaintance of Eldest Senior Sister, he’ll definitely protect her well and wash away the injustice.”
He liked furry things, so he was definitely not a bad person!
The Fifth Junior Sister thought of the innkeeper who had a fox tail and the cute cat in Liu Yuan’s arms. She nodded with certainty.
“Let’s hope so.” Sheng’e looked at the determined expression on his disciple’s face and felt that something was not right. Speaking of which, what about the little girl you brought up the mountain? Since she wants to join the sect, let’s test her aptitude first.
Ling Yu was stunned. “By the way, Master. I haven’t told you yet. Gu Chang has already cultivated…”
…
However, Ling Yu, who believed in Liu Yuan’s character very much, was wrong about one thing.
He had indeed protected Ling Hua and was indeed prepared to counterattack. However, at the same time, he might be bringing the Eldest Senior Sister right into another abyss…
