Chapter 122: Righteous Path Alliance, Ancient Cultivators Emerge from Seclusion
The Righteous Path Alliance is currently the most powerful force in the Tai Xuan Realm, aside from the Seven Great Immortal Sects.
It governs three major provinces, each as vast as the Sword Sect's Sword Province.
Wuzhou is the most resource-rich province under the Righteous Path Alliance's governance.
In ancient times, powerful Sects such as the Ten Thousand Dharma Dao Sect, Great Desert Saber Gate, and Listening Rain Pavilion existed here, but they have now all been merged into the Righteous Path Alliance.
The founders of these three Sects are also the first generation of council members of the Righteous Path Alliance's Supreme Council.
Qingqiu City, located in Wuzhou and formerly the Great Desert Saber Gate's Sect headquarters, is one of the best-developed cities in Wuzhou, far surpassing Xuanjian City in scale. The Mayor himself is a great Returning Void Realm cultivator.
Because it was formerly the Great Desert Saber Gate's Sect headquarters, Combined Dao Grand Masters from the former Great Desert Saber Gate occasionally return here.
This also makes Qingqiu City one of the cities within the Righteous Path Alliance where opportunities are most easily encountered.
At this moment, inside a beverage shop in the city.
"The Sword Cultivator stationed at the Ancient Cultivator Response Department these past few years has caused quite a stir, giving the people of the Righteous Path Alliance quite a headache."
In a window seat, Yuan Jun sat across from Xu Xing, explaining the current situation within the Righteous Path Alliance.
Because she has been traveling the continent all these years, she is also quite clear about the situations of the various forces on the Central Continent.
"I saw it."
Light and shadow flickered in Xu Xing's eyes; everything that had happened in this city since its construction was taken in by him.
It wasn't like when he first emerged from seclusion, where he still held a playful attitude; of course, he was using the fastest way to obtain information.
But he could only see this far; going further back was not possible.
'The past' is the Domain of the ancient; the more distant it is, the harder it is to peek into, and the Righteous Path Alliance has also set up defenses against it.
While it wasn't impossible to forcibly peek, it might trigger something, which would go against his initial intention of traveling discreetly.
Moreover, he had just arrived in the Righteous Path Alliance's territory, so there was no need to be too anxious.
The light and shadow in his eyes dispersed, and Xu Xing sighed, "The factional struggles within the Righteous Path Alliance are even more severe than I imagined."
"Indeed, the situation was a bit better before Yuan disappeared."
At that time, whether in terms of reputation or strength, Yuan was undoubtedly the number one person in the Righteous Path Alliance, so he could suppress everyone and prevent them from having any ulterior motives.
But now...
A union composed of multiple forces, having lost the suppression of its highest power, how could one expect them to work together with one heart?
"And the young Combined Dao realm cultivator currently stationed at the Ancient Cultivator Response Department is extremely righteous and draws his sword to help whenever he encounters injustice on the road."
Factional struggles always involve some underhanded methods.
But encountering someone who can't tolerate a speck of sand in their eye in such matters is quite a headache, and if that person is also a very capable Combined Dao Sword Cultivator, it's even more exasperating.
"Therefore, the Supreme Council has requested the Sword Sect several times to replace the Combined Dao Sword Cultivator stationed here, but they have all been refused."
"Not bad." Xu Xing nodded slightly, then turned his head to look outside. "Let's see when they discover it and how they handle it afterward."
This place was specifically chosen by the two of them to see the Sword Sect junior's ability to handle situations.
After all, there is also an Ancient Cultivator emerging from seclusion here.
...
In a corner of Qingqiu City, a man carrying a large saber was maintaining a concealment and divine sense hiding technique, carefully observing this unfamiliar world.
He had an ordinary appearance, but the ferocious scar on his face added a touch of ruthlessness.
Looking at the passersby, his heart felt a bit lost.
'Where is the Sect? How did it become like this?'
His name is Mo Buyu, a Returning Void Realm Saber Cultivator from the Great Desert Saber Gate. A thousand years ago, in order to advance to the Combined Dao realm, he chose a hidden place to go into seclusion.
As expected, he failed.
He spent many years recovering from his injuries, and as soon as he emerged after recovering, he found that the entire world had changed.
The Sect was gone, replaced by a huge city with many unfamiliar buildings.
The Dao tribulation triggered by his Combined Dao attempt destroyed the Magical Artifact he used to contact the Sect. He could only send a message to the Sect using a special method within the Sect, but he received no response.
Helpless, he could only carefully sneak into this huge city.
However, the sight he beheld shocked him even more; almost everyone he saw, except for young children, possessed cultivation.
'Could the Sect have been destroyed?!' This thought couldn't help but arise in Mo Buyu's mind.
'Could it have been done by a certain Immortal Sect?'
In his impression, only an Immortal Sect would have the ability to annihilate the Great Desert Saber Gate and cultivate so many cultivators.
'Let's see again.'
Maintaining the concealment and divine sense hiding technique in this way, Mo Buyu arrived on the street.
The vehicles coming and going on the road, the laughing and chatting pedestrians, and the women dressed in revealing clothes with their fair, glistening thighs made him even more silent.
...
Could the Sect have been destroyed by the Hehuan Sect?
Walking from the east side of Qingqiu City to the west side in this manner, he gathered a lot of information, and no one detected him.
It's truly not that easy to detect a Returning Void Realm cultivator who is concealing himself and acting discreetly.
'This place is under the governance of a force called the Righteous Path Alliance. The Sect was not destroyed but joined this so-called Righteous Path Alliance.'
It seems the Sect was not destroyed, but was annexed...
"Damn it!"
In Mo Buyu's view, there was no difference between the Sect being annexed and being destroyed!
Junior Sister, Master, Senior Brother, and the Sect Master, they must have all been killed!
Bang!
He slammed a fist onto the wall, leaving a shallow fist print!
Although angry, he still had his rationality.
I must first understand the detailed situation, and then leave this place as quickly as possible!
The next moment, his figure flashed, and he quickly rushed out. To avoid being discovered, he didn't even fly into the sky.
Mo Buyu's figure rapidly moved through the city like a fleeting glimpse. Even passersby who encountered him only felt a gust of wind brush past their faces.
However, he did not realize that the spiritual energy detection instrument at the intersection had already detected an anomaly due to his high-speed movement.
This was an instrument that even Xu Xing was accidentally caught by, so Mo Buyu naturally couldn't avoid it either.
Soon, he locked onto a Yuanying Stage teacher who was going home after class.
He saw the female teacher wearing a white shirt and a hip-hugging skirt, with black stockings on her legs and high heels.
Her curves were exquisite, and she was charming and alluring.
'Hmph! Just one look and you can tell she's not someone decent!' Mo Buyu coldly snorted in his heart.
The Yuanying Stage teacher only felt her vision go dark and lost consciousness before she could even react to what was happening.
A wisp of Divine Soul power probed into her Sea of Consciousness and immediately began searching her soul.
The information in the female teacher's mind was instantly captured by him.
The Era of Great Change, Saint Emperor Yuan, the founding of the Righteous Path Alliance, the Great Desert Saber Gate's relocation of the entire Sect, the current Mayor of Qingqiu City.
The founder of the Great Desert Saber Gate is one of the first-generation council members of the Righteous Path Alliance's Supreme Council. The Great Desert Saber Gate now holds a significant position within the Righteous Path Alliance. The Principal is so fast...
Hmm?
It seems there's some messy stuff added in.
But one thing is beyond doubt... it seems he misunderstood some things.
The information that followed made his expression change drastically.
The Ancient Cultivator Response Department is specifically responsible for liaising with Ancient Cultivators who have just emerged from seclusion, and also for eliminating Ancient Cultivators who commit evil!
Currently, within the Righteous Path Alliance's territory, cultivators from the Sword Sect are stationed at the Ancient Cultivator Response Department.
Sword Sect!
