Chapter 334: Chapter 231: The Martial World Trembles, A Familiar Little Girl!
The two old Supreme Sages took action, and the flood on Lu Shan Sect subsided quickly.
As the flood on the mountain receded, the surface of the Min River gradually returned to calm, and the cruise ships on the river disappeared without a trace.
However, the flood-stricken Lu Shan Sect was in a mess, with many trees broken, flowers and grass withered, and various Dao Palaces and halls disintegrating and collapsing under the impact of the flood.
Some Lu Shan Sect disciples cried out in grief.
“What are you crying for?”
Qingyang’s face was grim, and he scolded, “Why don’t you go save people quickly?”
There were still many Lu Shan Sect disciples floating in the Min River!
Fortunately, everyone on Lu Shan Sect was a cultivator.
Even if they couldn’t swim, their breath was much longer than ordinary people’s, so they wouldn’t drown for a while.
One by one, the disciples were rescued.
Most of them were alive… but there were also eight corpses!
These eight corpses all had sword wounds. It was obvious that they were not drowned but killed by Xu Yang’s sword!
Moreover, all of these eight corpses had one thing in common… their cultivation was profound!
Among them, four had “Entered Dao Realm,” and the remaining four, although they hadn’t “entered Dao,” had already comprehended “Dao Rhyme” and could be considered half a step into the “Entering Dao Realm.”
Listening to the reports of the disciples, the two old Supreme Sages didn’t have much of a reaction.
They had been in closed-door cultivation for too long, witnessing too many cycles of life and death over 600 years. Let alone ordinary disciples, even if they died, it would just be a death… For them, the foundation of Lu Shan Sect was them, the four old ancestors!
As long as they didn’t die, the foundation of Lu Shan Sect would not shake!
On the contrary, Qingyang’s face was gloomy and dripping. He said solemnly, “Keep searching for the remains, we must find Supreme Sage Zhang’s corpse!”
Unlike the several old ancestors.
He had been the sect leader of the Lu Shan Sect for thirty-two years!
These disciples, one could say, were the ones he had watched grow up.
Especially Supreme Sage Zhang…
They were like brothers, living together for more than forty years, and their relationship was more like that of a family!
Within less than two months, Lu Shan Sect had suffered two great “calamities,” with many disciples dead or injured. Among the Six Sons of Lu Shan, with the exception of Supreme Sage Lin, whose cultivation was destroyed and whereabouts unknown, only he was left to persist.
He was heartbroken.
Qingyang fell to his knees and said, “Two old ancestors, I want to resign from the position of sect leader, and I hope you can grant your approval.”
“Oh?”
The old Daoist looked at Qingyang and said, “Now there is only one Divine Transcendence Realm left in the sect. If you resign as sect leader, who will succeed you?”
Qingyang said, “With the two old ancestors out of the closed-door cultivation, Lu Shan Sect has the old ancestors to sit in town, and everything can be worry-free.”
He paused, then said, “Moreover, there are a few junior and senior fellows in the Blessed Land of the Cave Heavens who have been in the Divine Transcendence Realm for many years. If they were to succeed as sect leaders, they would surely lead Lu Shan Sect back to glory.”
The old Daoist didn’t try to persuade him any further but said, “So be it… You started practicing Dao at the age of 9, and your performance in the Cave Heavens was the best. After the spiritual aura recovery, you have cultivated for more than fifty years… Over the years, you have been working hard for the Lu Shan Sect, and your own cultivation has been neglected.”
“After you resign from the position of sect leader, I will personally guide you for a period… I hope you can take this opportunity to break free from your shackles and cultivate to the primordial spirit.”
……..
Just as everyone in the Lu Shan Sect was overwhelmed by the huge grief, the entire Da Xia martial world was boiling over!
The “gossip section” of the martial world forum was directly swamped!
One post after another sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, with some on-site photos and videos… especially the last scene of the flood inundating the Lu Shan Sect. Once it was exposed, many people in the martial world felt it was incredible!
“Fake!”
“This must be fake!”
“Special effects, it must be special effects. How can human power reach this level?”
“To those upstairs, are you newbies? Or is it that your cultivation method isn’t very good, and you don’t have a good teacher?”
Someone mercilessly debunked such claims, educating the newbies about the realms of cultivation, saying: “As everyone knows, above the Body Refining Four Realms of martial arts lie the Innate, Heavenly Being, and Celestial Phenomenon Realms!”
“For cultivation, there are nine levels of Qi Refining, followed by the Entering Dao Realm, Divine Transcendence Realm, and Spiritual Refining Realm!”
“The flying sword in the video is the [Daoist flying sword], which can only be cultivated by those in the Spirit Refining Realm.”
“Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm is above that, entering the realm of the Land Immortal. Above the Spirit Refining Realm lies the Daoist True Monarch… At this level, it is almost the limit of what mortals can cultivate. Raising a flood at this level, isn’t it reasonable?”
Of course.
On the Internet, the existence of keyboard warriors is inevitable.
Even though most of the people lurking in the martial world forum are people from the martial world… who says there can’t be keyboard warriors in the martial world?
Someone posted a thread criticizing Xu Yang.
He started with Xu Yang’s “wives” and analyzed them one by one, arguing that Xu Yang, as a member of the Daoist Sect and the current leader of the Jingming Sect, openly kept a ghost and a zombie as partners, and even used the power of Yin spirits and malevolent beings to deal with the Lu Shan Sect, a prestigious sect!
Such behavior is no different than that of a demon!
He should be condemned and called for all people in the martial world to drive Xu Yang out, holding a “demon extermination conference”!
Once this post came out, it immediately received a lot of replies!
A considerable number of people expressed support, and some others refuted it… The most intense response in the post, however, belonged to a person with the ID “Langli Xiaobailong.” He showed off and greeted the original poster with hundreds of words, greeting the male and female ancestors of the original poster’s eighteen generations.
As soon as the original poster replied, he began to greet again.
Before long, the thread changed, completely turning into a two-person argument.
They argued back and forth from three in the afternoon, continuing until five, with no signs of stopping.
At this moment.
Xu Yang had returned to Wu City, and he was also watching the changes in the martial world’s forum. When he saw the hundreds of floors of arguing in the post, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Who is this Langli Xiaobailong? He’s actually defending me so much…”
Quickly.
Wang Hou made a phone call.
He got straight to the point, saying: “Xu Yang, the flooding of Lu Shan Sect… wasn’t it caused by the evil dragon that Heavenly Master Xu suppressed?”
“Yes.”
Xu Yang did not hide it.
After a moment of silence, Wang Hou couldn’t help saying: “Your luck is too good… that evil dragon has been suppressed by Heavenly Master Xu for so long, but it was actually willing to serve you?”
“Minister Wang, that flood dragon is not an evil dragon.”
Xu Yang told the story of what happened that year, saying: “Back then, it was her who asked Heavenly Master Xu to seal her for a thousand years to atone for her sins. She never thought that Heavenly Master Xu would immediately ascend with his family… And when the thousand years had passed and there were big changes in the world, spiritual energy was exhausted, that’s why she remained sealed until now…”
Wang Hou laughed: “I was secretly watching back then, thinking that if another ancestor came out of Lu Shan Sect, I might have to personally step in… But I didn’t expect that you, little guy, were actually hiding such a trump card!”
After chatting for a while, Wang Hou hurriedly hung up the phone.
Today, something big happened in the martial world, so the Spirits Management Bureau must make some responses!
The two Supreme Sages of Lu Shan Sect forced themselves out of their secluded cultivation, even though it was a self-destructive act, and even though they couldn’t maintain their peak power for long in the human world now. Still, the presence of these two old Divine Masters was enough to change the entire martial world’s situation!
Having only two old Divine Masters isn’t scary.
What Wang Hou was worried about was that their forced exit might trigger a series of changes!
As for Xu Yang, he didn’t care at all.
Just after hanging up the phone with Wang Hou, he received a call from Li Yuanchang.
Over the phone, Li Yuanchang was very excited, exclaiming: “Sect Leader, we saw it all on the internet… Sect Leader’s flooding of Lu Shan Sect is truly satisfying!”
Li Yuanchang also brought some good news.
One of the Jingming Sect’s disciples successfully entered the “Entering Dao Realm” today.
This person called “He Yuanrong” was not outstanding among the tens of “Yuan” generation disciples, just like Li Yuanchang and the others who had been stuck in the Qi Refining Realm for years. But his understanding of the “Dao” was not as good as some other more outstanding disciples like Li Yuanchang.
However, he took a step ahead and entered the “Entering Dao Realm.”
“He Yuanrong?”
Xu Yang was also somewhat pleased. Jingming Sect’s tens of disciples, who were able to study in “Xishan Wanshou Palace” back then, were undoubtedly of excellent aptitude. Under normal cultivation, there might have already been several of them in the “Entering Dao Realm” by now.
But over the years, they were oppressed by Lu Shan Sect, unable to cultivate, and dared not cultivate “Entering Dao.”
Once they “entered Dao,” there were only two outcomes for them: either completely join Lu Shan Sect or die…
However, these past twenty years of disdain and oppression may not be a bad thing for them. At least, they all have a solid and unyielding mindset, which is the most important foundation for becoming a strong person!
After some inquiry.
It turned out that “He Yuanrong” had originally cultivated the “rule of water element” and had a little understanding of the “water element path.”
Today, after he had seen the video of Xu Yang flooding Lu Shan Sect, he was greatly shocked, and his mind was suddenly moved. Unexpectedly, he entered the realm of “sudden enlightenment” and successfully entered Dao with “water element rule.”
“Good, good!”
Over the phone, Xu Yang praised “He Yuanrong” and encouraged him: “You all work hard on your cultivation, and once there are a few more people in the Entering Dao Realm, the foundation of my Jingming Sect will be established… At that time, we’ll widely recruit disciples, and within ten or twenty years, a large number of elite Divine Transcendence Realm disciples will be born. Sooner or later, my Jingming Sect will be able to regain its former glory!”
A group of Jingming Sect disciples, as if they were injected with chicken blood, began their bitter cultivation.
As for Xu Yang, after resting at home for two days, he arrived at the funeral shop early in the morning on August 15… As soon as he entered the shop, Xu Yang noticed something was wrong and asked Ma Xiaotiao: “Is there someone upstairs?”
Ma Xiaotiao answered truthfully, blushing: “Yes, Master… A woman came yesterday. As soon as she entered the store, she passed out. I felt sorry for her, so I carried her upstairs.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang’s gaze shifted, saying, “Take me upstairs to have a look.”
After going upstairs.
In his former bedroom, Xu Yang saw the “girl” that Ma Xiaotiao mentioned.
She was a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a couple of years older than Ma Xiaotiao. She was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
Xu Yang casually asked, “Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?”
Ma Xiaotiao replied, “Master, her condition is a bit strange. She has no injuries on her body, but she is unconscious… I thought it was similar to what your Divine Ascension Scripture talks about when someone loses their soul due to fright, so I didn’t take her to the hospital.”
Xu Yang checked her and nodded: “In fact, she has lost her soul, but it’s not due to fright, but rather because someone took it away… Huh?”
At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly exclaimed, “This girl looks so familiar. Have I seen her somewhere before?”
…
