644: 206_7 644: 206_7 “The Earth Immortal who pursued us out of Ten Thousand Horse City was not alone; besides him, there were at least three at the Golden Core Stage…” Li Lingwei quickly recounted everyone’s encounter in Ten Thousand Horse City.
After Li Lingwei finished speaking, Cao Zhen said, “I originally wanted to go back, capture those three at the Golden Core Stage, and force them to reveal their origins, as well as that city lord and the affluent young master.
Our Garrisoned Immortal of the Hundred Peaks Sect in Ten Thousand Horse City was murdered, and it’s impossible for the city lord to be unaware.
Yet, he didn’t report it, so he must be implicated with those people.
And that wealthy young master—I have a feeling he came to trouble us on purpose.”
“It must have been deliberate, and moreover, those two Earth Immortals, their cultivation techniques and divine skills are clearly not of the Demon Sect, so their identities should be quite clear,” Beichen Ying analyzed upon hearing this.
“They’re not from our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Considering how close we are to the Great Lai Dynasty, they must be from there!
As for the city lord and the affluent young master, it seems they have already colluded with them.
As for why they would do such a thing, there can only be a few reasons: to tarnish the reputation of the Immortal Sects of our Guardian Immortal Dynasty, to lure people from our Hundred Peaks Sect away from Ten Thousand Horse City, and then to ambush us.
In short, they must have discovered that the Grand Preceptor is in slumber and are now preparing to take revenge on the Guardian Immortal Dynasty.”
Little Beiyan seemed confused and asked, “Take revenge on the Guardian Immortal Dynasty?
Isn’t it said that Immortal Cultivation Sects won’t get involved in mortal conflicts?
Even if there is a conflict between the Guardian Immortal Dynasty and the Great Lai Dynasty, what does it have to do with the Immortal Cultivation Sects?”
“How could it be unrelated?” Beichen Ying spoke up.
“I’ve heard…
well, you all should know that I have a brother with a strong cultivation base.
All this is what he told me.
He said that although the Grand Preceptor doesn’t partake in mortal battles, he had often troubled the Immortal Sects within the Dynasties near our Guardian Immortal Dynasty that have friction with us.
Now that the Grand Preceptor is in slumber, of course, they would want to take their revenge.”
Cao Zhen instantly remembered the Grand Preceptor taking him to the Immortal Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty for a major raid back then.
It was clear that the rumors Beichen Ying spoke of were correct.
Now that the Grand Preceptor is in slumber, they’ve come seeking trouble.
Actually, when it comes down to it, it seems it’s all my own fault.
If it hadn’t been for me, the Grand Preceptor wouldn’t have gone into slumber.
If he hadn’t, those people from other Dynasties’ Immortal Sects wouldn’t necessarily dare to come trouble the Guardian Immortal Dynasty.
The Grand Preceptor must have been too confident in that aspect, which is why he rampaged around looting and robbing others with impunity.
But now, because of me…
the Grand Preceptor has gone into slumber…
This…
Cao Zhen sighed, his brows furrowed, as he muttered softly, “The enemy has sent two Earth Immortals.
It’s uncertain whether they’ll send anymore.
Plus, since their Earth Immortals have suddenly dropped out of contact, they will surely send more powerful figures.
However, we at the Hundred Peaks Sect are ignorant of their existence.
This matter must be reported to the Hundred Peaks Sect as soon as possible.
We need to leave this place immediately.”
“But, in a place like this, it’s difficult to leave in a short time,” Beichen Ying looked around; in every direction, as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but grassland.
“I will contact my disciple Yan Yourong…” Cao Zhen felt immensely relieved at that moment, grateful that he had left Yan Yourong behind, as he could contact her directly through the China Cloud.
Now, although he had not yet officially become the acting Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he had already started assuming the identity of the Sect Leader without realizing it.
His first concern was not the potential dangers of this place, but the safety of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
“Contact Yan Yourong?”
Ling Xi and a few others showed no change in expression, but both Beichen Ying and Li Lingwei’s faces revealed a look of shock.
This place is either a relic or a Minor Thousand World.
And many relics are actually Minor Thousand Worlds too, only they are special types of Minor Thousand Worlds!
Given the huge difference between this place and the outside world, it must certainly be a unique Minor Thousand World.
The Minor Thousand World, although part of the world they came from, can also be seen as another world entirely.
If it was within a single world, even separated by tens of thousands, or even millions of miles, those with Great Ability would have ways to make contact through sound transmission to reach the people they seek.
But within a Minor Thousand World, even the Burning Sky Sect’s chart, or the Grand Preceptor’s Imperial chart of the Guardian Imperial Dynasty, can’t transmit messages.
How can Cao Zhen contact Yan Yourong?
