The night was hazy, and the Cangyun Sect was quiet.
But a long howl accompanied by wails shattered the tranquility.
On Cangyun Peak, countless rays of light surged forth, revealing a figure stumbling into the sky.
That was Luo Tian, the Sect Master of the Cangyun Sect.
At this moment, Luo Tian completely lacked the lofty demeanor of a Sect Master; instead, he was in ragged clothes, disheveled, with several bruises on his face, and his eyes were so swollen he couldn't open them, appearing exceptionally disheveled.
Behind him, a dark shadow shot up, hot on his heels.
"Audacious madman, you are going too far!"
Luo Tian roared, smoke practically rising from his seven orifices; he, a dignified Sect Master, was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night and beaten, and he didn't even win.
Although he didn't suffer any substantial injuries, it was humiliating!
As early as eight or nine years ago, a Devil Head appeared, and every now and then, he would go and give someone a good beating, and he was never caught.
Moreover, as time passed, this person became bolder; beating Disciples wasn't enough, so he started beating Elders from various peaks, and after a period of that, he set his sights on the Peak Masters.
Now, he had even beaten him, the Sect Master.
Luo Tian watched, growing angrier the more he thought about it; although he never seriously injured anyone, he kept showing up frequently.
He, by his own power, forced everyone in the entire Sect to rise at dawn and Cultivate diligently, fearing that one day he would come for them.
Soon, everyone heard the commotion and came to check, but the other party was long gone.
The Peak Masters rushed there, but it was too late.
On Qingyun Peak, Ye Tianyi heard the commotion and got up to check.
Just as he was about to rush to provide support, a dark shadow seemed to slip into Qingyun Peak.
His heart instantly tightened, and he was about to go check.
However, after searching around, he found no abnormalities; only Lu Changsheng walked over from a distance, which was the direction of Senior Brother's closed-door Cultivation.
"Second Senior Brother, you're still awake so late?" Lu Changsheng asked.
Ye Tianyi said, "Junior Brother, did you see anyone enter Qingyun Peak just now?"
"No!"
"No?"
Ye Tianyi was suspicious, glancing at his Junior Brother, but he didn't say much, turning to rush towards Cangyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng watched his Senior Brother leave and couldn't help but sigh, "The Sect truly makes me worry so much; if I don't push them a bit, they won't even Cultivate. If everyone is like this, how can we grow stronger and who will protect me!"
As he spoke, he looked somewhat disappointed, like someone who despairs of seeing iron turn into steel, and grumpily returned to his room to rest.
Although he was careful and cautious, he still needed to know exactly how much combat power he possessed.
That way, when he encountered an opponent, he could better gauge whether he could win.
Therefore, every time he had a Breakthrough, he would find some fellow Disciples who were slacking off in their Cultivation to spar with.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng always analyzed the situation before acting, ensuring he wasn't discovered.
To be on the safe side, he studied escape techniques, mastering all kinds of Escape; unless one was several Realms higher, they simply couldn't catch him.
Those movement techniques and methods for concealing Qi were also perfectly executed; even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
This was also the confidence he had to Incarnate as the Black Night Mad Demon.
However, today's Cultivation once again triggered the torment of the Myriad Tribulation Immortal Body, and before he had recovered, he went to fight the Sect Master, and now his whole body was in excruciating pain.
After a night passed, it wasn't until noon that the people on Cangyun Peak dispersed, after confirming that the Sect Master was fine.
Ye Tianyi also returned the way he came.
But he truly couldn't imagine anyone being so audacious as to dare to beat up the Sect Master in the middle of the night.
Many people had similar experiences, and when they spoke of it, they all cried bitterly, exclaiming that the guy was not human!
But as Ye Tianyi approached Qingyun Peak, he recalled the dark shadow he saw last night, and when he chased after it, he only saw his Junior Brother.
Suddenly, an absurd thought arose in him.
"Could the person who acted last night be Junior Brother?"
Mainly, Lu Changsheng's appearance was too coincidental.
However, the moment he returned to Qingyun Peak, he immediately felt like he had lost his mind, to actually think it could be his Junior Brother.
What he saw was an open space, where Lu Changsheng was leisurely lying in a rocking chair.
Beside him stood several female Disciples in their twenties, who were massaging his shoulders and legs.
Each of the female Disciples frowned tightly, kneading strenuously.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, looked utterly blissful, occasionally letting out a few soft hums.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, is the pressure alright?"
"You can go a bit harder, I can take more!"
"Like this?"
"Yes, yes, yes, right there, a little harder!"
"Okay!"
The female Disciples said, working even harder.
Lu Changsheng became even more comfortable and said, "Later, tell me your problems, and I'll ask Senior Brother Great Master for you. I won't let you work for nothing!"
The few of them spoke, one after another.
Ye Tianyi's face completely changed, and a surge of anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed.
"What are you doing!"
A rebuke startled the female Disciples, making their faces pale, and they all retreated to stand aside.
Lu Changsheng was also startled and looked at him, saying, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
"What are you doing!"
Ye Tianyi questioned.
Lu Changsheng subconsciously replied, "Massaging!"
"Mas...sa..."
One sentence left him somewhat at a loss.
Was that what he meant? Did he not know that was a massage?
Lu Changsheng saw his meaning and said, "Senior Brother, don't be so rigid. Massages can promote blood circulation and relax muscles, alleviating physical fatigue and pain, which is beneficial."
Yesterday, he had a Breakthrough and was tormented again, which would take some time to subside. This was why he often slept under the old pine tree.
It wasn't that he was lazy; it was just too painful, and he accidentally discovered that massages could alleviate some of the pain.
That's why he would ask these Junior Sisters to help him with massages.
Ye Tianyi looked at the scene before him, so angered by Lu Changsheng that he couldn't speak, and turned to question and reprimand the female Disciples.
"You are Inner Sect Disciples of Qingyun Peak, not Cultivating, but instead here to entertain him and have fun. This is, this is..."
At this point, he was too angry to know what to say.
The female Disciples quickly bowed and said, "Senior Brother, we are willing!"
"Willing?"
"Yes!" A Disciple said, "We had problems with our Cultivation, and the Peak Master wasn't here, and the Elder was often in closed-door Cultivation, so Senior Brother Changsheng often helped us consult Senior Brother Great Master. We learned that he often suffered from muscle pain, so we helped him with massages to relieve it, not for entertainment..."
Ye Tianyi was stunned.
Lu Changsheng said, "That's right, Senior Brother, you misunderstood us!"
"You..."
One sentence almost made him cough up old blood.
Most of what they said was true, except that it wasn't Senior Brother Great Master who helped them solve their Cultivation problems, but Lu Changsheng.
Having Cultivated to this point, solving these problems was not difficult for him. It was also to help others, to help the Sect develop, and to make the Cangyun Sect grow stronger.
Over the years, those Peak Masters and Elders have also Cultivated harder under his urging, and many Disciples have benefited from this.
The Cangyun Sect has even distinguished itself among the three major Sects in Cang Province, already showing results.
In this way, if the Sect became strong, he would have a backer, able to Cultivate safely within this Sect, and then achieve Immortal Ascension. This was his long-cherished wish.
However, the Cultivation world was full of dangers; he dared not go out, fearing being plotted against and instantly killed by powerful individuals.
He also dared not show off, trying his best to keep a low profile. Even if the world misunderstood him, it wasn't a big deal.
Sometimes, a bad reputation wasn't a bad thing either.
Ultimately, as long as he quietly hid within the Sect and Cultivated, there wouldn't be a big problem.
Ye Tianyi said with a dark face, "You all go back first!"
"Yes!"
These female Disciples also dared not refute, and after a greeting, they left.
Then, Ye Tianyi looked at Lu Changsheng, determined to have a good talk with him today; he absolutely could not bring shame to the Sect.
However, he still didn't get a chance to speak, as a young girl from a distance arrived at Qingyun Peak.
She looked at Senior Brother Changsheng and said, "Senior Brother Changsheng, this is bad! Senior Brother Great Master has a problem with his Cultivation!"
