Chapter 388 – Demonic Trail
“Senior Master Yan, this disciple was wrong, this disciple should not have incited Senior Uncle and Senior Uncle to chase after Adept Jiang Tao, and in the end, caused a miserable death for Junior Uncle, this disciple will diundred times, after returning to the sect, this disciple will report this matter to the west, and ask the sect to punish him!”
Spiritual Master Sun knelt on the ground in shame. He had never thought that Adept Jiang Tao would be injured in succession and be surrounded and killed by three other Spiritual Masters from his sect. Before his death, he would actually be able to reverse the attack, and if it were not for Martial Uncle blocking him, he would have been the one to die.
“Junior Disciple Sun, you don’t have to blame yourself. I saw the scene clearly, when the Adept Jiang Tao struck at your last breath, Junior Brother should have been able to protect you, but no one would have said anything wrong about that, because if I blocked for you, then I would have died for you!” But since he blocked it for you, it means that he has made a choice after considering it carefully. He is willing to use his own life in exchange for your life, so you do not need to blame yourself at all, much less feel guilty. Junior’s death is not directly related to you, it is his own choice. ”
“But …”
“I know what you want to say. In fact, when junior brother and I discovered that Adept Jiang Tao was heavily injured, we also took the opportunity to kill him. We wanted to kill him, but you were the first to mention it, and were afraid that your senior uncle and I would disagree.
Spiritual Master Sun shyly lowered his head again and said, “Disciple was reckless …”
Even if you hadn’t rushed it first, your Martial Uncle and I would have still decided to surround and kill the Adept Jiang Tao in the end. It was only because we are old and without Martial Nephew’s fearlessness, that caused us to be slow in reacting to Martial Nephew Sun’s words. In fact, the future strength of our Tan Xi Sect, and its position in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, will still depend on Martial Nephew Sun and the other youngsters’ energy. ”
Seeing that Spiritual Master Sun still had a look of guilt on his face, Spiritual Master Yan felt both relief and worry. He thought for a while and said, “Actually, this old man isn’t afraid to tell you this, but your Martial Uncle has already been stuck in cultivation for dozens of years and no longer has the chance to advance his Profound Constellation Realm. As for you, you are one of the most outstanding disciples in my second generation of Tan Xi Sect, and you have only advanced your Astral Transformation Realm for twenty to thirty years.
Sage Sun suddenly raised his head, only to see Sage Yan throwing a portion of the treasures he had collected from the broken storage bag on Sage Jiang’s body into his hands. “Take these items well. If your heart still feels guilty, then don’t disappoint your Uncle-Master’s expectations of you!”
Spiritual Master Sun helplessly took the storage bag, and said witrembling voice: “Senior Master, these things ….” Your esteemed self is the Sect’s Sea Suppressing Divine Needle, so these things should be used by you to break through the Taihang Realm. As long as your esteemed self can advance to the fifth stage … ”
I already do not need that many things now. I know that you are also at the bottleneck of your Astral Transformation Realm, and that our sect has already lost a Gangli Accumulation Realm expert, so we can only quickly replenish a second stage realms of life cultivator, and only then can we make up for the loss of the sect’s power as much as possible. Moreover, hehe, once the Adept Jiang Tao is dead, there will definitely be great upheavals in the Damascus Seal Faction, and this is the chance for our sect.
Spiritual Master Sun’s guilt was still there, but his fighting spirit had already been reignited by Daoist Master Yan’s words. At this time, a purple Message Talisman entered the stream of light and came from the horizon.
Both of them were surprised to see that the stream of light was heading straight for Sage Sun.
As the Message Talisman fell into his hands, Spiritual Master Sun’s expression turned slightly strange as he examined it.
Yan Zhen knew that something was amiss and hurriedly asked, “What, did something happen?”
Spiritual Master Sun raised his head and gave the Message Talisman to Spiritual Master Yan, saying, “It was sent by Senior Yan. He said that my niece secretly left the sect when he heard the news of the fall of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and that Senior Yan said that if he saw her on his way back, he had to bring her back!”
“Hmph, he should have given this Message Talisman to me!”
Spiritual Master Yan let out an angry snort, he used his Spiritual Sense and knew that the content of the Message Talisman was exactly the same as what Spiritual Master Sun said. He could not help but ask, “This little girl does not know the thickness of the sky, is it possible for the current Heaven-Shaking Peak to easily enter?”
“Senior Master, your niece’s departure should not be the same as ours. How about I first return to look for her, and then you head back to the sect first? Now that the Heaven-Shaken Sect has been annihilated, there will definitely be chaos in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, and the sect will not be able to leave you at this time!”
Now that the Adept Jiang Tao is dead, the situation has changed. We can only use this time to give them a fatal blow while the Damascus Seal Faction is still not ready to react, and at this time, our sect must gather all of our power together as much as possible and cannot disperse it. Let’s go, we must return to the sect immediately! ”
The two of them rode on the light and left, leaving only the two corpses that were gradually dissolving and blown away, as well as the mountain ranges and woodlands that had been ravaged after a great battle.
After the collapse of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Yang Junshan originally thought that the Yu Cheng would definitely become chaotic, but never would have thought that when he arrived, the number of people in the Yu Cheng would decrease significantly.
Carrying a little surprise and curiosity, Yang Junshan walked into the Yu Cheng, and quickly found out the whole story. However, the result of his inquiry still surprised him.
Ouyang Family was one of the only two famous sects in the Yuzhou. When the Heaven-Shaking Peak collapsed and the entire Yu Cheng started to become chaotic, the Ouyang Family came out of hiding and calmed down the chaos in the Yu Cheng.
Although the cultivators of the Yu Cheng were extremely secretive about the Ouyang Family’s actions, from what Yang Junshan heard, on the second day after the fall of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, many people died in the city. Furthermore, many people died miserable deaths, but their bodies were quickly retracted and cremated by the people of the Ouyang Family, leaving not a single trace behind.
“The Ouyang Aristocrat Clan?”
Yang Junshan thought back to what Ouyang Xulin had told him before. Yang Junshan had always suspected that there were demon cultivators in the Ouyang Family, or perhaps there were some from the Ouyang Family who had cultivated the demon techniques.
The methods used to kill the demons, the corpses of the dead, were all extremely miserable.
In the current Yu Cheng, everyone was filled with reverence towards the young master Ouyang. It was as if the young master of the Ouyang Family was the one who had made a name for himself when he quelled the chaos in the Yu Cheng that day.
Even though no one dared to call him by his name, Yang Junshan had once obtained some basic information about a direct descendant of the Ouyang Family from Ouyang Xulin. This “Young Noble” should be Ouyang Xulin’s sworn enemy, the first grandson of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Peilin.
From the start of the collapse of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, there had been people constantly leaving the Yu Cheng to travel to other parts of the Yuzhou. However, there were also people who had the intention to enter the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, in an attempt to enter the forbidden array which was formed from countless residual array and restrictions linking each other, in an attempt to find some treasures left behind by the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
In reality, there were indeed news of treasures being found from time to time. However, there were also news of people dying or disappearing after entering the ruins. The better news was that they had managed to escape with their injuries.
It seemed that he was not too late. Although many people were scared away by the sudden destruction of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, those who had started to explore the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak did not start to go deeper. This really gave Yang Junshan the opportunity to strike.
In his previous life, Yang Junshan still remembered a few treasures that he found in the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins. Every time someone found one, the news would spread, and he would be talked about enthusiastically foeriod of time. Then, he immediately stirred up the treasure hunt that was gradually calming down, and it once again became a new treasure hunt.
When Yang Junshan first came to the Heaven-Shaking Peak and joined the group of cultivators who were searching for treasures, about a quarter of the Heaven-Shaking Peak was already discovered and explored. And the last time he explored the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak before his death, he was only halfway through the excavation.
In fact, since the beginning of the excavation of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins, the progress in the excavation had always been done by human hands little by little.
Now that the Heaven-Shaking Peak had just collapsed, the residual array s and restrictions inside were like a natural chasm to other cultivators. But to Yang Junshan, there was a considerable amount of restrictions and restrictions on the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and he was able to easily remove them. When the others were still wandering around the outskirts of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, he was able to go deeper into the ruins!
But when he was truly deep within the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins, Yang Junshan still needed to first think of a way to take out the most important thing at the outermost region, the place that was the most eye-catching yet least suspected of all!
After exiting the Yu Cheng, Yang Junshan could still notice cultivators rushing towards the direction of the Heaven-Shaking Peak from time to time, so he was not worried about being suspected of anything, and directly headed towards that direction.
Aesult, there were still remnants of the great formation at the foot of the mountain of Heaven-Shaking Peak. After the collapse of the Heaven-Shaking Peak and the connection with the forbidden array, it still obstructed all paths of entry into the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and only the main entrance of the Heaven-Shaken Sect was opened. From the back of the collapsed stone tablet building, they entered the ruins of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
The biggest target for Yang Junshan’s trip was the stone tablet that Jade Sword Sect’s Master Xiao had slashed into two halves. To be more precise, the stone tablet at the center of the tablet had already broken into two, with the words “Heaven-Shaken Sect Sect” carved onto it!
It was because of these two slabs made of common white jade that had fallen to the sides of the path leading in and out of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Knowing that the sky and the earth had changed greatly, and that demons were attacking them from all directions, that the secret of the stone tablets had been discovered by chance just because the magic competition had accidentally shattered these two stone tablets. It waity that most of the slabs had already been destroyed by then, and the remaining fragments could not completely restore the secret.
