Chapter 95 Canglan Peak 6
Chapter 95 Canglan Peak 6
"You mean your sect was also notified by the Heavenly Mystery Sect of a beast tide?"
The next day, Cheng Jiu woke up to find a message from Li Weixin in the jade slip. Their sect had also been notified, and the entire sect was now making preparations.
"Also? That means your Guiyuan Sect has also been notified!" Li Weixin was surprised and quickly asked.
"So, there's also some unusual activity in the Wilderness?"
"It must be that the sect started preparations before we even returned!"
Cheng Jiu thought of the scene when they returned to the sect and found the sect gate deserted. If the Heavenly Mystery Sect had already notified them by then and the sect members had gathered in the Wilderness Sect, then it would make sense.
Li Weixin took a breath: "Cheng Jiu, do you remember I have an aunt in Medicine King Valley?"
Cheng Jiu certainly wouldn't forget, after all, the first life-or-death crisis she encountered in the sect was with that Mei Ji and her Daoist partner, Jing Li Dao Jun. At that time, she even overheard some gossip about Li Weixin's aunt and Jing Li Dao Jun.
"I remember, so what?"
"Some time ago, she asked someone from the sect to send me pills. The reason why Medicine King Valley came this time was because the Heavenly Mystery Sect informed them that there might be a beast tide in Medicine King Valley, so they came to borrow people from the Dragon Abyss Sect."
"After all, you know that most of the disciples of Medicine King Valley are not good at fighting," Li Wei thought to himself.
Cheng Jiu immediately understood what he was talking about and checked which sects had been notified so far.
Guiyuan Sect, Medicine King Valley, Longyuan Sect.
Looking at Guiyuan Sect alone, it's not a big deal, after all, Guiyuan Sect is close to the wilderness and encounters beast tides every now and then.
This time, all three major sects were notified. Although it was unknown whether Wuji Sect and Yunxiao Sect had been notified, Cheng Jiu keenly sensed that a storm was brewing.
That is indeed the case, unlike Cheng Jiu and other junior disciples.
The sect leaders of the five major sects were in a state of panic. The sect leader and head of the Heavenly Mystery Sect were still communicating with the Heavenly Dao. This time, almost the entire cultivation world was in turmoil, as if there were signs of a beast tide.
To understand how vast the cultivation world is, one must know that the distance between cities is extremely far, and the mountains and wilderness in between are inhabited by demonic beasts.
Everything was fine before, so why did this happen so suddenly!
They actually suspected that they had gone to the demon realm, perhaps because the demon realm had deliberately manipulated them.
But there is no evidence.
Moreover, the most important thing now is to evacuate people from remote areas, whose villages and towns do not have strong defensive formations like those in cities.
Once the beast tide truly forms, they will undoubtedly be the first to perish.
More importantly, the Heavenly Mystery Sect has not announced when the beast tide will arrive.
It might take several months, or it might be tomorrow.
Anyway, no matter what.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
The five major sects have already issued missions in their respective disciple enforcement halls, and the rewards are quite generous.
Most of these disciples were selected from the cultivation world.
At least two-fifths of them come from remote villages and towns.
Some of the disciples' relatives live in their own villages.
Upon seeing the posted task, they immediately formed a team to accept it.
The missions were not only issued within the sect, but also to independent cultivators.
In addition, elders and disciples need to be dispatched to guard each city.
The elders, including Yao Lao, understood the seriousness of the situation and took on their respective responsibilities.
Even Wen Sishu, the peak master's personal disciple, was being bossed around.
The disciples who went out to travel also received a recall order from the sect.
So, almost everything that could be mobilized except for the back mountain area has been mobilized.
It's a complete race against time.
Cheng Jiu took out his communication card and asked Nan Yanzhe, since he was from the Tianji Sect and would surely know about these things.
After carving the jade for a while, I felt somewhat uneasy.
The message arrived late in the communication.
According to Nan Yanzhe, the sect is in complete chaos.
His master and sect leader had been communicating with the Heavenly Dao.
However, due to the disordered celestial secrets, it was barely deduced that this might be a catastrophe for the entire cultivation world.
Liu Shaoyuan also stated that Yaowang Valley is actively preparing for the battle, and he has already formed a team to rescue people.
Wen Sishu asked Cheng Jiu if he wanted to go to the mission hall together to accept a mission.
Cheng Jiu agreed. She planted the Extreme Cold Pure Lotus in the ice spring she had discovered earlier, and also immersed the Ice-Containing Spirit Jade in the ice spring.
She rode the little cloud beast towards the mission hall, and on the way, she asked Mao Hongsheng if he wanted to team up with her. He immediately replied yes.
The mission hall was packed with people, and many disciples were actively accepting missions.
Wen Sishu had already accepted the task and was waiting for Cheng Jiu. Mao Hongsheng arrived early, but he didn't recognize Wen Sishu.
When Cheng Jiu arrived, he saw them standing together and assumed they knew each other.
"Junior Sister Jiu!"
"Junior Sister!"
The two spoke at the same time: "You're here to see Junior Sister Cheng Jiu too?"
"Me too!"
"What a coincidence! I am Mao Hongsheng, the former peak master's personal disciple, and I entered the sect in the same year as my junior sister," Mao Hongsheng said.
“Yao Feng, I am Wen Sishu, a disciple personally taught by Master Yao. I am older than you, so you can call me Senior Brother Wen.”
"Senior Brother Wen."
"I thought you two knew each other since you were together!" Cheng Jiu said as he approached the two after they recognized each other.
“This is the first time we’ve met. We’re quite destined to meet!” Wen Sishu said.
Mao Hongsheng nodded in agreement.
After many years, he has changed quite a bit, his whole body now covered in bulging muscles.
His originally honest and simple appearance has become handsome and rugged.
And because it is a physical cultivation method.
He has a rugged appearance and an excellent physique.
However, once he opened his mouth, his honest and simple nature was impossible to hide.
Cheng Jiu looked at the strong muscles on his arm and touched them: "Nine years have passed, Senior Brother Mao, you've changed so much!"
Mao Hongsheng smiled憨厚ly: "That's right! After all, you've grown up. But junior sister, you haven't changed at all."
Cheng Jiu was also somewhat helpless. She was only seven years old when she broke through to the Golden Core stage. Although she had grown taller over the years, it wasn't much. She was about the same height as she was nine years ago.
After watching the two finish catching up, Wen Sishu said, "This time we're going to Kaiyang Town, which is located below Qingli City."
"Qingli City? I thought that Immortal Lord Minxiu, who manages Qingli City, would send people to take over the people under his jurisdiction long ago."
After all, the people stationed in Qingli City are different. Putting aside everything else, they must have plenty of manpower. It's understandable for remote areas to issue such tasks, so why is Qingli City issuing such tasks?
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Even if Immortal Lord Minxiu is in the Mahayana stage, she still can't handle it all."
Moreover, the town of Kaiyang we visited this time is located at the border of Hefengzecheng.
"We're already in the outer areas of Qingli City," Wen Sishu explained.
"Oh, I see! Let's set off then! Do you want to ride Rainbow Dash with me?" Cheng Jiu nodded.
"No need, junior sister. Senior brother Wen can come with me."
As he spoke, Mao Hongsheng summoned a huge creature, which turned out to be a rare Divine Eye Moon Shadow Tiger.
It is said that its divine eyes are inherited from Bai Ze, which can see through all things, and all demons and monsters have nowhere to hide under its divine eyes.
Although this Divine Eye Moon Shadow Tiger is only at the Nascent Soul stage, its divine eye is almost fully opened, indicating that the purity of its bloodline is not low.
The big tiger squatted obediently to one side, and its color was rare; white was very desirable.
As Cheng Jiu stroked its fluffy fur, he couldn't help but feel regretful that he hadn't been able to contract a fluffy spirit beast.
Although she also really liked the little black dragon and the little cloud beast.
The summoned little cloud beast keenly sensed its master's wicked thoughts and immediately grabbed her collar and threw it at its owner.
"Tsk!" Mao Hongsheng clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect that you would actually form a contract with it in the end, Junior Sister. This little thing is really jealous."
When you were taken in by Senior Brother Qin, my fellow disciples and I had a deep impression of that little guy.
Fortunately, it was my senior brother who guided me back then. Although he was usually unreliable, he never made things difficult for new disciples.
"Did Senior Brother Qin continue doing this afterward?" Cheng Jiu felt a little annoyed when she thought about this, even though she eventually got her revenge.
No, you're the last one!
"Huh?" Cheng Jiu was a little taken aback when she heard that she was the last one. How could she be the last one?
Thinking that the junior brothers and sisters who were later taken in by Senior Brother Qin did not experience what she had gone through, she began to feel frantic.
Damn it, Senior Brother Qin, why did she have to change it now of all times?!
This would make her feel like she was the one who had been wronged and taken advantage of.
"Didn't Senior Brother Qin go traveling with Senior Brother Huo before?" Mao Hongsheng asked, noticing her sudden dejection.
"Hmm," Cheng Jiu said lazily.
He was almost forced into marriage.
"What happened?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiu immediately perked up.
"Hehe, somehow his family found out about his training, and as a result, news spread that Senior Brother Qin's elder brother had an accident."
Senior Brother Qin and his elder brother had a good relationship, so he brought Senior Brother Huo back to the family. — Mao Hongsheng
"and then?"
"For some reason, their rumors suddenly spread and became that Brother Qin had passed away, and the Qin family summoned Senior Brother Qin back to the family not only to form a marriage alliance with the He family, but also to assume the responsibility of supporting two branches of the family, and to marry both his sister-in-law and Miss He." Mao Hongsheng.
"Ah!" Wen Sishu's eyes widened slightly.
"At this time, rumors spread that the Qin family was preparing to form a marriage alliance with the He family, so the news was spread with great detail and credibility."
By the time the news reached Guiyuan Sect, it had become a rumor that his elder brother's funeral and Senior Brother Qin's wedding would be held together. Mao Hongsheng still couldn't help but laugh when he thought about that blunder.
"This was the first time something like this had ever happened, and the person who received the wedding invitation was really worried."
The overly celebratory manner is disrespectful to the deceased.
The performance was too sorrowful and disrespectful to the newcomers.
Even the sect leader heard about this; he still takes his little disciple's marriage seriously.
I was worried that he might have been forced to participate, so I did too.
It is said that the guests who attended the wedding banquet that day, in addition to wearing festive clothes, also brought a large number of wreaths, filling the Qin family's house to the brim.
When Brother Qin came out to greet them, the people who came advised him to take it easy.
Many people thought he was magnanimous; even as a ghost, he would come up to entertain the guests when his wife and brother got married.
Now that his wife is being cared for by his younger brother, he can reincarnate in peace.
"Hahaha!" Cheng Jiu and Wen Sishu could just imagine the dramatic scene just by thinking about it.
"And then what? Was Senior Brother Qin really forced to marry Miss He?" Cheng Jiu asked.
"Isn't Senior Brother Huo always following Senior Brother Qin? He has a low profile and is easily overlooked."
On the day of the wedding banquet, he stole his senior brother Qin from the Qin residence.
"As a result, during their escape, they encountered Senior Brother Qin's fiancée," Mao Hongsheng said.
"It seems that Miss He doesn't want to get married either!" Cheng Jiu said.
"That's right, the elders of both families are playing matchmaker for each other."
Miss He also left a farewell letter, saying that whoever accepted the marriage agreement should go and marry.
If someone really needs to marry that young master Qin, then let her father go.
When Mao Hongsheng mentioned that Miss He, his tone was full of admiration, saying, "She really dared to write that!"
It is said that the words on it were even more incisive; in any case, when the head of the He family saw the letter, he almost fainted.
"Since both of the main characters ran away from their weddings, wouldn't the wedding banquet have to be canceled?" Cheng Jiu asked.
"No way, it would be better if they really escaped!"
Senior Brother Huo had a low profile, and Senior Brother Qin's cultivation was not low either, so they did not alarm the Qin family.
"But Miss He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Her ancestor discovered this, and Senior Brother Qin was implicated and taken back with her," Mao Hongsheng said.
"Then why was it ultimately not successfully held?" Wen Sishu asked with great interest after they were all brought back.
"Not long after Senior Brother Qin was arrested, his elder brother released him through the back door," Mao Hongsheng said.
"Release them? What's the point of that?"
Cheng Jiu didn't quite understand this move, since Qin Che had only returned to his family because of his older brother and had been captured.
As a result, after being suppressed for so long, on the eve of the wedding, his older brother took the initiative to release him. What was his motive?
“Maybe his elder brother never even considered a marriage alliance with him.” Wen Sishu sat up and discussed, “After all, think about it, the rumors have spread so far that even the sect leader heard them. Can the Qin family be compared with the five major sects?”
"No matter what, Senior Brother Qin is the sect leader's personal disciple, and the sect leader is here. If Senior Brother Qin really doesn't want to, does the Qin family think they can force him into a marriage? The sect leader isn't someone to be trifled with."
"Since he was unwilling, why did he scheme to have Senior Brother Qin return to the Qin family?"
"Oh, I see, it's their family elder and his parents." Cheng Jiu stroked his chin.
“That makes sense.” Mao Hongsheng nodded in agreement.
"Where is Miss He? The groom has run away."
"She also ran away, and the wedding procession was the last to pick up the bride."
Didn't the groom run away during the wedding ceremony?
As a result, when the bride's veil was lifted in full view of everyone, the head of the He family was standing beneath it.
"?!" For a moment, the two of them wondered if they had misheard. How could it have been switched? And neither of them had noticed.
"According to an elder from the Yunxiao Sect who attended the banquet at the time, an illusion array was used."
Although the level is low and very basic.
However, it is easy for people not to notice it at first.
He admired this Miss He, and then he heard that she had never had a master.
"I've been cultivating at home, so I went to the He family to take Miss He as my disciple," Mao Hongsheng said.
"It seems that people who run away from their weddings really need to have some skills!" Cheng Jiu sighed.
"But the He family has gotten what they wanted, right? After all, they requested a marriage alliance with the Qin family because they wanted to climb up the ranks of the Guiyuan Sect. Now they don't need to arrange a marriage anymore."
Their young lady herself became a personal disciple of an elder of the Yunxiao Sect.
"You could say we got what we wanted. As for this disciple, whether he'll listen to them is another matter," Mao Hongsheng said.
