Chapter 1443: Chapter 55 Yuanci Turmoil_4

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi landed in front of the four people and paid his respects separately.

However, Qu Shentong stopped him with a slight hint of urgency:

“Hall Master Lin, have you encountered the Deputy Sect Master’s incarnation outside?”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, seeing the other three people looking at him too, he quickly realized and a smile appeared on his face:

“Replying to the Sect Master, Lin Yi has not encountered the Deputy Sect Master’s incarnation, but there is a major matter related to the Deputy Sect Master that I need to report to the Sect Master.”

“Hm?”

Qu Shentong was taken aback, then puzzled in his heart.

Lin Yi, as the Rende Hall Master, needless to say, had discretion; important matters of the Sect would not be disclosed casually.

And yet, he mentioned it in front of everyone, which was indeed quite strange.

An Changshou and others also looked at Lin Yi with curiosity.

Lin Yi, slightly excited, said:

“Not long ago, cultivators from Huangji Continent suddenly arrived, crossed Chen State, Sen State, and Li State, and attacked Jin…”

The four’s expressions changed slightly!

An Changshou couldn’t help but inquire:

“Cultivators from Huangji Continent? Why would they attack Jin?”

Qu Shentong’s expression grew colder as he said sternly:

“Attacking Jin… Where exactly did they attack? And what does this have to do with the Deputy Sect Master?”

Seeing the seriousness of the crowd, Lin Yi didn’t dare to beat around the bush and hurriedly explained:

“According to the news from Hall Master Ma, these cultivators from Huangji Continent seem to plan to sweep through the entire Fenglin Continent, starting with Jin. Thus, after crossing Li State, they directly targeted our Wanxiang Sect. However, they were easily defeated by the Deputy Sect Master at the front of the Sect. Except for the leader who was deliberately let go, the rest were captured.”

Upon hearing this, the four people first sank in their hearts, then felt relieved.

Qu Shentong’s eyes showed a chilling intent:

“These cultivators from Huangji Continent are indeed bold. After we return to the Sect, we must find the Sui’s ruler, Yang Que, to demand an explanation.”

Xiong Zhaojing couldn’t help but shake his head:

“These cultivators from Huangji Continent must have their heads covered in pig’s oil, casually bringing people over, thinking they could sweep through Jin, which is simply…”

Lin Yi was taken aback, immediately aware that they might have misunderstood something.

Qin Shengyong then said with a smile:

“They probably think that after the heavenly changes, our Jin would be unable to recover. These people have been suppressed by the old Ancestor of Huangji for too long; now that they have a bit of power, they can’t help but get carried away…”

Lin Yi was about to clarify.

At that time, several figures in the distance also began descending.

“Chunqiu, what brings you here?”

An Changshou looked puzzled at one of the people.

It was Daoist Yuanci’s old friend, Rui Chunqiu.

Xiong Zhaojing also looked puzzled at the hastily flying Xiang Sirui, who bore a complex expression mixed with admiration.

“nephew Xiang, didn’t I ask you to recuperate in the observatory for a while? Why did you suddenly run back?”

Xiang Sirui shook his head repeatedly, glanced at Qu Shentong and Lin Yi, and still chose to communicate with Xiong Zhaojing through a whisper.

Xiong Zhaojing’s face quickly changed dramatically, disbelievingly viewing Xiang Sirui, as well as Qu Shentong and Lin Yi, finally subduing his voice instinctively:

“Did you just say, the attackers of Jin consisted of as many as a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators?!”

“The leader, is it Divinity Transformation Cultivator Yang Que, the ruler of Sui?”

Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but look at Xiong Zhaojing.

He had specifically communicated quietly, but why couldn’t the Vice Tao Temple Master keep anything secret!

But since the words were already out, Xiang Sirui could only nod.

Anyway, from the looks of it, this matter couldn’t be hidden; the Three Sects and One Clan had eyes and ears throughout Jin, and such an event would have been known by everyone as soon as it happened.

Indeed, still somewhat incredulous, An Changshou and Qin Shengyong, after listening to respective reports from Rui Chunqiu and Qin Shengzhao, finally reluctantly accepted this astonishing news.

Wanxiang Sect, even when most of the Sect’s Nascent Soul Cultivators were away, suffered almost no losses, and easily repelled Divinity Transformation Cultivator Yang Que, capturing a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Only Qu Shentong had not fully accepted it yet.

Not just because of the so-called thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators, but also because of the secret report Lin Yi had quietly transmitted to him.

“Deputy Sect Master, to think you subdued Yang Que with a single thought… That’s a Divinity Transformation cultivator!”

Previously on the day of celestial change, Wang Ba had also stepped in to stem the tide, defeating several third-level Evil Gods.

But those were Evil Gods, not Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Now, Wang Ba personally subduing a Divinity Transformation cultivator undoubtedly truly proved his own strength.

“Deputy Sect Master, there’s practically no difference from a Divinity Transformation cultivator now.”

He sighed softly, feeling joy in his heart, yet suddenly a thought of retreat emerged.

Originally, he thought it was still too early to hand over the Sect to Wang Ba, but now it seems that Wang Ba’s growth far exceeded his expectations.

“It’s time to step down.”

“After resolving the Yuanci calamity, upon returning to the Sect, prepare for this matter.”

Qu Shentong thought quietly to himself.

At this moment.

A flash of invisible sword energy suddenly flew out of Qu Shentong’s sleeve.

The sword energy flickered, and a figure instantly materialized out of thin air.

His face sternly turned towards the direction of the Eightfold Sea.

“Elder Xumi?”

Qu Shentong was taken aback.

But Xumi, with no room for nonsense and an extremely grave expression, spoke rapidly:

“Hurry and retreat! The depths of the Eightfold Sea are about to experience a Yuanci uprising!”

“What!?”

Everyone was greatly shocked.

Qu Shentong’s expression changed:

“Daoist Yuanci is below us…”

“Forget about him, move quickly!”

Elder Xumi slightly shook his head.

People exchanged glances, ultimately not daring to gamble with the lives of their disciples, and hurriedly flew in all directions at high speed.

…

Yan.

Within the decaying headquarters of the primitive Demonic Sect.

A group of black-robed cultivators with deep and dense auras bowed and guarded an old man, standing atop the ruins.

The old man had a grim expression.

In front of him, an extremely flickering and seemingly about to disappear Nascent Soul phantom showed a sorrowful expression:

“…We were raided by the cultivators of Huangji Continent… Although that person is a Divinity Transformation, he seems unusually unaffected by the suppression of heaven and earth.”

“All the people we have accumulated over the years were plundered by him, and many of our fellow sect members were abducted. I beg you, uppermost, save me…”

“Where is he?”

“I, I don’t know, I only know that he seems to have gone off seeking those True Martial Cultivators… Uppermost, save me, as long as I recover, I can still…”

However, the old man suddenly hummed softly.

The Nascent Soul phantom disappeared into smoke amidst astonishment.

“Now that you’re useless, why keep you.”

Nonchalantly slaying that Nascent Soul, the old man appeared to have no emotional fluctuations, his voice calm.

He lifted his gaze, staring into the distance.

The next moment, his figure silently vanished from the spot.
