Chapter 572: Chapter 22_4

Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi hastily attempted to peer outside.

However, despite seeming ordinary, even Yao Wudi’s spiritual sense couldn’t penetrate the smallest fraction of the Chunyang Palace.

Not long after . . .

Yao Wudi suddenly felt something and looked towards the palace’s high platform.

A cultivator with a clean shaven face, dignified appearance, and emotionless eyes quietly appeared in the palace.

“Second elder.”

Yao Wudi’s expression became somber.

Following that, several cultivators, either aged or young, with obscure auras and difficult to discern, surfaced one by one.

“Fourth elder… Seventh elder… Elder Du… Senior Brother Pang…”

A total of fifteen people.

They were the fifteen… practitioners who attained spiritual transformation that were currently in the sect.

Seeing these individuals, Yao Wudi felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

He had a vague feeling that the consequences of the trouble he had caused this time probably far exceeded his initial estimations.

“Just for a holy child… Are they going a little overboard?”

Yao Wudi murmured in his heart.

Just then . . .

A middle-aged cultivator with a long beard, a kind face, and wearing a ‘universe purple ribbon robe’, which symbolized his status as a sect master, quietly stepped into the void outside the palace.

With a seemingly slow but actually rapid pace, in the blink of an eye, he stood before everyone.

Upon seeing this person, including the fifteen cultivators who achieved spiritual transformation, all of the cultivators bowed and said in unison:

“We pay our respects to the Sect Master.”

This was the Wanxiang Sect Master, Shao Yangzi.

Shao Yangzi’s voice was clear and warm:

“No need for formalities, please sit.”

The relaxed tone made Yao Wudi feel a bit relieved.

Once everyone was seated, Shao Yangzi cut to the chase and said:

“I invited you all here for two matters.”

“The first matter is about the great flood that has been wreaking havoc for over a hundred years, with the Xituo Continent, Tupi Continent, and Daosheng Continent confirmed to have sunk…”

Yao Wudi immediately let out a breath of relief.

Frick, that scared the life out of me!

He had thought it was because of him.

But this was clearly no trivial matter, so he quickly perked up his ears to listen.

“…based on confirmed information, the cultivators of the Three Continents have all evacuated from their original homes, and in about sixty to seventy years, their main forces will cross the West Sea and collide with the cultivators of our Fenglin Continent…”

Shao Yangzi said solemnly:

“This calamity is a major one, and none within Fenglin Continent can escape it. Therefore, my Jin, with its Three Sects and One Clan, teamed up with Yan.”

“You should all keep this in mind, and also need to diligently cultivate, always being ready for disaster.”

“In addition, because the West Sea Country gained a Monk King Xin, the Ashna Tribe of the Tupi Continent has become increasingly arrogant. I have already negotiated with the Longevity Sect, and we will handle the Ashna side. Soon, we will discuss the candidate for a trip to the West Sea Country.”

“Monk King Xin?”

Yao Wudi was stunned. Wasn’t this the person he had chosen for his insight into the Dao Secret?

He couldn’t help but look at Shao Yangzi, only to be startled by Shao Yangzi revealing a meaningful smile to him.

Yao Wudi immediately had a bad feeling.

And then Shao Yangzi continued:

“We’ll talk about this matter later, let’s discuss the second matter now… The first and seventh holy children of the Primitive Demonic Sect, along with their six Nascent Soul cultivators, were killed near Nanshao City on the Yan border by the same cultivator… According to the description of the surviving ninth holy child, someone from the Demon Sect identified the attacker as one of us from the Wanxiang Sect. Does anyone want to take credit for this?”

The originally quiet palace suddenly resounded with a flurry of astonishment and whispers.

Just one person alone had killed eight Nascent Soul cultivators, among them the holy child and Protector of the Primitive Demonic Sect. Such an accomplishment was simply far too exaggerated.

Even the Vice Hall Masters and ministers of various halls, upon self-examination, admitted they were out of their depth.

After all, the power of the Primitive Demonic Sect didn’t fall short of the Wanxiang Sect. Rather, strictly speaking, it was much stronger.

After all, Yan’s ability to stand up to Jin was largely due to the merits of the Primitive Demonic Sect.

But soon enough, some noticed that Sect Master Shao Yangzi had already placed his gaze on someone.

Seeing this, Yao Wudi knew there was no escaping it and, with an expression of helplessness, he stood up.

“Sect Master, if I say I didn’t do it on purpose, do you believe me?”

Shao Yangzi grinned:

“I believe you, but the Demon Sect Master Shangguan might not agree.”

“The Demon Sect’s first holy child was already half a step away from spiritual transformation, yet you still beat him to death… Not to mention the Demon Sect Master, if it were me, I’d want to kill you myself.”

“It’s not my fault… How do I know what the first holy child looks like, I thought he was the one I let go…”

Yao Wudi grimaced.

The Nascent Soul cultivators around them were speechless upon hearing Yao Wudi’s words.

Turns out he really did hold back.

People who were familiar with him had no doubts. It was indeed Yao Wudi’s style.

However, Shao Yangzi shook his head slightly, “I’m not blaming you… On the contrary, I want to praise you. If you hadn’t hit the Primitive Demonic Sect this time… they might not have been so quick to join us, so you’ve made a great contribution.”

Hearing this, Yao Wudi was stunned for a moment before disbelief spread across his face.

This means he hadn’t made a mistake, but had done a good deed?

The ups and downs were simply too fast.

“Since you have made a contribution, naturally there should be some reward… How about this, I will send you to the West Sea Country to confront the Ashna Tribe of Tupi Continent. How does that sound?”

Sect Master Shao Yangzi said, his smile beaming.
