Chapter 123: Suspected Traces of the Ancient
Damn it!
Of all the Sects, why the Sword Sect?
Those who practice saber and those who practice sword are the most incompatible.
Mo Buyu's expression was solemn. The female teacher he had soul-searched happened to be a history teacher at Qingqiu City First Middle School.
From her Sea of Consciousness, Mo Buyu initially understood what kind of world this was now.
And that Ancient Cultivator Response Department is specifically for dealing with cultivators like him who have come out of seclusion!
Besides these, what surprised him even more were the various 'games' played by this teacher and the Principal. Their audacity was astonishing, involving things like bondage, role-playing, outdoor activities...
As a Saber Cultivator without emotions, the scenes he was witnessing now even surpassed the images he had previously obtained from the mind of a drunk Xiu from the Hehuan Sect through soul-searching.
But they are clearly not cultivators from the Hehuan Sect, so what is the meaning of doing this?
Or is it that cultivators in this era are all so open-minded now?
But soon, Mo Buyu stopped thinking about those meaningless things. He pointed a finger at her glabella, infusing a stream of magical power to help alleviate her fatigue after the soul search, and placed her against the wall.
Then, as if he had thought of something else, he wiped the finger he had just used to touch her glabella with a hint of disgust.
After a pause, he took out a Stealth Talisman to conceal the teacher's figure and left two Spirit Stones as payment for the soul-searching 'soup' fee.
"I need to leave here first."
Although the information obtained from the woman's Sea of Consciousness indicated that the Ancient Cultivator Response Department would not casually kill ancient cultivators who came out of seclusion without reason.
For ancient cultivators like him, most of the time, after confirming the situation, they would contact his parents, relatives, teachers, and friends.
But as a cultivator, especially as a Saber Cultivator, he did not want to put himself in a passive position, especially since the other party was a Sword Cultivator from the Sword Sect.
With a decision made in his heart, he tapped his foot, and his figure shot out like a fleeting shadow, disappearing at the end of the street in an instant.
He doesn't know the situation within the Sect either. There are too many people in Qingqiu City, so he should find a secluded place to avoid detection first.
After fully understanding the current situation on the Central Continent, he would then decide whether to return.
Mo Buyu already had a plan in mind, but plans always change.
"Notice!"
"A great cultivator above the Returning Void Realm from the era before the Great Transformation has come out of seclusion. It is currently uncertain whether he is a great cultivator of the Demonic Path."
"To ensure the safety of all citizens, please immediately proceed to the nearest school, Immortal Sect outpost, or Alliance shelter. Do not leave the range of the city protection array!"
A clear voice resounded throughout Qingqiu City.
Buzz~
He felt the spiritual tide surging, and streams of spiritual light rushed towards the sky. The sudden change caused Mo Buyu, who was escaping outwards, to pause. He couldn't help but look up.
He saw faint golden array patterns continuously spreading across the sky above the city, and a terrifying power diffused, making his heart feel a little uneasy.
Without a doubt, this is a great array that can threaten him!
...
...
"This array is indeed much stronger than the one when I came out of seclusion."
At the top of a tall building, Xu Xing looked into the distance, towards Mo Buyu's direction.
This is understandable, after all, Qingqiu City is not comparable to Xuanjian City.
Looking at the citizens of Qingqiu City again, although they were also heading to the Immortal Sect outposts, schools, and Alliance shelters according to the notice, they were not as anxious as the citizens of Xuanjian City.
Yuan Jun, who was beside him, looked at the sky: "They're here."
Crack!
Above Qingqiu City, space shattered like a mirror.
It was actually a Combined Dao Sword Cultivator who had directly crossed space to arrive!
A vast divine sense swept across, covering the entire Qingqiu City in an instant.
Then, a sword light shot out from within, directly descending towards Mo Buyu, who had already reached the edge of Qingqiu City.
"Not bad, the movement is quite fast," Xu Xing nodded slightly.
This was much faster than in Xuanjian City.
"But it seems someone is also dissatisfied with this," Yuan Jun's gaze fell on another place.
That was a Combined Dao stage Saber Cultivator. When the Combined Dao Sword Cultivator's divine sense swept through just now, he was also included.
This action undoubtedly made him very dissatisfied.
"Normal," Xu Xing said indifferently.
Before merging into the Righteous Path Alliance, the Great Desert Saber Gate was one of the strongest Saber Cultivator Sects in the Tai Xuan Realm. They had always strived to catch up with, and even surpass, the Sword Sect.
However, the gap was simply too large, so they could only think about it.
Due to the psychological gap caused by this unbridgeable difference, some high-level Saber Cultivators have a strange hostility towards Sword Cultivators.
"If that Dao Friend were still here, he should not be inferior to us," Xu Xing sighed softly.
Among the cultivators who primarily cultivated the Saber Dao back then, there were indeed those with astonishing talent and brilliance, those who walked alongside them.
That Dao Friend's Saber Dao was considered unparalleled in the world, and Xu Xing still remembers his demeanor to this day.
It's a pity... he still arrived a step too late back then.
"I remember that Dao Friend had a younger brother, and it was he who founded the Great Desert Saber Gate. If things went smoothly, he should be close to reaching that threshold by now, right?"
"I'm not sure. Most people in the Righteous Path Alliance are very resistant to the Immortal Sect, so Little Sister can only respect their wishes," Yuan Jun explained.
Cultivation is a very private matter.
If she were to pry into such core secrets without any scruples, setting aside the fact that it doesn't align with her original intentions, if the people of the Righteous Path Alliance were to find out, it would likely worsen the relationship between the Supreme Dao Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance.
As for the channels...
Ever since she helped Yuan sever the connection, a certain ancestor of the Demonic Path has been trying to get back at her.
"Resistant?" Xu Xing's heart stirred slightly.
"Yes, resistant. When Yuan was still here, the Righteous Path Alliance was somewhat wary of the Immortal Sect, but it hadn't reached the point of resistance."
Within those major Righteous Path Sects, it's not as if there are no cultivators who came from that era.
They also witnessed everything that the founders of the Immortal Sect, which is to say, he and his fellow Dao Friends, did.
Now that the external enemies have not been completely eliminated, having experienced that cruel era, they shouldn't be at the point of resistance no matter what.
"But since Yuan disappeared, their resistance to the Immortal Sect has become increasingly severe."
In recent years, they have also continuously introduced some new policies, most of which are aimed at Immortal Sect cultivators.
"This is very abnormal, so I had the idea of coming here to investigate."
Yuan Jun also stated her purpose at this time.
Inviting Dao Brother along was truly just a casual mention; Sword Revered completely misunderstood her.
Xu Xing paused: "You suspect it's the Ancient?"
The only one who could cause trouble on the Central Continent, especially within an organization at the level of the Righteous Path Alliance, is Him.
"Yes, although He was struck by Dao Brother's sword, the Dao that the Ancient controls is too special, so it may not be Him."
"Then why didn't you tell your other Dao Friends about your speculation, Yuan Jun?"
"I can't do that. If Brother and the other Dao Friends found out, the Righteous Path Alliance would likely not escape calamity."
If it involves the Cang Clan, Immortal Sects like Jishi Valley, who already have such intentions, would have an excuse to act.
Yuan Jun's thin lips were slightly pursed, looking extremely pure and beautiful: "Little Sister once promised someone that, unless absolutely necessary, she would try her best to preserve the Righteous Path Alliance."
"Yuan?"
"No." Yuan Jun's tone suddenly became serious, "It was Ling Zu's Disciple. Little Sister didn't have much interaction with Yuan, so it's impossible for her to promise him anything."
"..." Xu Xing paused, then smiled, "Then you telling me, aren't you afraid that I will act against the Righteous Path Alliance, or are you looking down on me, Xu?"
"Dao Brother, please don't joke."
Yuan Jun shook her head slightly, then looked into the distance, her white ribbons gently fluttering in the wind.
"Isn't all of this what Dao Brother once wanted to do?"
