Chapter 104: Trends
"Where is that Master Su now?"
Chen Luo is concerned about the subsequent impact. The core contradiction of this matter originated from Su Tianyao, and the third-level formation master inheritance in his hand was the fuse.
"It has disappeared."
Huang Ying had a worried look on her face.
Such a big thing, if not controlled well, is likely to spread to the entire sect. This is not groundless worry, but there are already signs in this regard.
"Missing?"
Chen Luo frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"Why is it known to everyone if the person is missing? Is there no one in the sect to deal with it?"
"It can't be suppressed! The elder of Xingdou Peak fell in the secret realm, and the elder Ke, the head of the Beast Control Peak who went to support, also disappeared. Someone saw the poisonous insects of the Nine Poison Valley and the iron corpse of the Corpse Cultivation Sect outside the secret realm."
Just two short messages, Chen Luo heard the undercurrent behind it.
This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are more disputes behind it. Three major foundation-building forces, one died and two were missing. If there was no third-party force behind the scenes, it would be impossible for them to fall to this point.
Huang Ying glanced around, leaned close to Chen Luo's ear and whispered.
"The Nine Poison Valley and the Corpse-raising Sect have formed an alliance. The elder of Xingdou Peak who died in the secret realm was killed by them. Elder Ke and Su Tianyao of the Beast Control Peak defected to the enemy. The real situation is ten times more dangerous than what is said outside."
"Where did you hear this news from?"
Chen Luo looked at Huang Ying, somewhat curious about where she heard the news from.
If the situation is really like this, then he has to consider a way out.
By the way, while running away, see if there is a chance to pick up two useful brains, preferably from foundation-building cultivators, with a higher degree of completeness.
"These are all told to me by Senior Sister Shen. She went down the mountain last night."
Huang Ying told the source of the news.
Chen Luo then remembered that Huang Ying's biggest backer was Senior Sister Shen. She made her first pot of gold by selling talismans to this Senior Sister Shen. When Chen Luo was learning to make talismans, the copy he copied was the one Huang Ying borrowed from Senior Sister Shen.
If Huang Ying didn't lie to him, then the news was most likely true.
Senior Sister Shen was an inner disciple of Wudao Peak and was also proficient in talismans. Her status was completely different from theirs. The news she obtained was naturally more accurate than theirs. Now that the other party had already fled in advance, it was clear that the situation was worse than they saw.
"The dragons in the Shenhu formation were all cultivated by Elder Ke himself. He has now joined the two sects and will definitely help them break the formation. Without the protection of the formation, the scale of the war cannot be controlled, and even the main peak may be lost."
The betrayal of the two foundation-building cultivators put Shenhu Xianmen at an absolute disadvantage.
Chen Luo remembered the dragon chasing the cross-domain flying boat in the lake when he first joined Shenhu Xianmen.
He was still shocked at the time, and it was also at that time that he heard of Elder Ke's name.
"Brother, follow me down the mountain."
Huang Ying said solemnly.
She waited here for a long time, just to take Chen Luo with her. From the time she entered the sect to now, she has watched Chen Luo grow step by step to the current realm. In Huang Ying's opinion, Chen Luo's potential is definitely not inferior to that of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. There is a great possibility that he will succeed in building a foundation in the future. A future foundation-building cultivator is worth her risk.
"Many people have already applied for the mission to go down the mountain. Brother, you should also apply for one. Let's go back to our hometown in Sheguo together. Guarding for the sect is not considered defection." Huang Ying said her plan.
The two of them have only been in the sect for a year, and they are not even inner disciples. There is no need to wade into this muddy water with the sect.
"The sect will not let you go."
Chen Luo shook his head.
It's not that he is pedantic, but the people in the upper echelons of the sect will not agree at all.
Shenhu Xianmen has trained so many disciples, it is impossible to let them leave when the war is about to come. Especially the inner disciples, the senior sister Shen mentioned by Huang Ying probably has some connections, so she can take advantage of the loopholes, but it's hard to say about the rest of the people.
With the change of the situation, the sect may even cancel the "garrison mission", give up the outside forces, and shrink the battle line.
There is another point.
So far, the leader of Shenhu Xianmen has not made any moves.
As long as he is still there, the Xianmen will not perish.
The war in the world of immortal cultivation is different from the war in the secular world. The top combat power is the key to determine the victory or defeat. Shenhu Xianmen has been able to stand for so many years because there has never been a shortage of Jindan cultivators in the sect. As long as the Jindan ancestors are still there, the sect will not perish.
"Brother, are you thinking about the leader?"
Huang Ying seemed to know what Chen Luo was thinking.
What Chen Luo could think of, she had naturally thought of it a long time ago. It can be said that the entire Shenhu Xianmen, from top to bottom, has the same idea.
"The leader's deadline is coming soon. He hasn't shown up for more than 60 years. This news was also told to me by Senior Sister Shen."
Huang Ying said faintly.
Is there something wrong with the leader? Chen Luo suddenly understood.
No wonder the temptations from the Nine Poison Valley and the Corpse Raising Sect became more and more obvious. The last time he was doing a joint mission, he encountered temptations from the two sects. He didn't know how the upper echelons solved it that time, but it was obvious that the two sects felt weak, which led to this action.
Huang Ying's news made Chen Luo determined to leave the sect.
The sect-level war was still too dangerous for him. If he got involved in the aftermath of a high-level cultivator's battle, he might die.
"I know."
Chen Luo took a deep breath and nodded in response.
"I will leave tonight. I have already accepted the mission to leave the sect. I will assist Senior Sister Shen. If you don't get the mission, go to Lanyu Tower to find me. I will add your name to it and we will leave together." Huang Ying packed up her stall and stood up. She came here to wait for Chen Luo.
Now that the news has been announced, she also has to prepare for her departure.
After leaving the Transmission Terrace, Chen Luo went to the main hall where his master, Wuwei Zhenren, practiced.
If there is anyone on Wudao Peak who can grasp the most accurate information, it must be Wuwei Zhenren, the foundation-building immortal cultivator.
"Huh? I didn't expect that my junior brother's cultivation has broken through again. It's really a cause for celebration."
When he arrived at the door of the main hall, Chen Luo met someone he didn't expect. Bai Su, the first disciple of Wudao Peak! This woman was the same as the last time I saw her. She was still wearing a white dress. The silver bell on her arm rang softly, emitting a pleasant sound.
"Meet Senior Sister Bai Su."
Chen Luo took a step back.
This woman is very dangerous.
He had seen her the last time he came here with Fang Shan. At that time, the two of them thought that this senior sister came back to prepare for the foundation building. Now it seems that there should be other things.
The aura on the other party is still perfect.
Half a year has passed. I don’t know if she failed to build the foundation or is waiting for something.
"Junior brother seems to be very afraid of me?"
Bai Su suddenly walked to Chen Luo and whispered in his ear.
The hot air made his ears itchy, his pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back.
He didn’t see how this woman came just now.
"Go in, I hope I can meet Junior Brother again in the future."
Bai Su chuckled, and her figure flew away like the breeze. A white gauze floated past her eyes, and when the white gauze disappeared, the figure also disappeared with it.
Looking at the direction where Bai Su disappeared, Chen Luo paused for a moment.
This senior sister seemed to be very interested in him.
‘Whatever her purpose is, as long as she doesn’t come to provoke me.’
Pushing the door open.
Chen Luo looked towards the inner hall.
Master Wuwei Zhenren was still sitting in the hall, and the scene was exactly the same as when he first went up the mountain. The difference was that this time, more than half of the paintings on the walls were gone, leaving only a few scattered paintings hanging on the wall. Wuwei Zhenren did not practice, but sat there reading a book.
“Master.”
Chen Luo bowed.
Wuwei Zhenren put down the book in his hand and looked Chen Luo up and down.
When he saw Chen Luo’s strength of the ninth level of Qi training, even he had a slight flash of surprise in his eyes.
Reaching the ninth level of Qi training in one year, this speed of practice has reached the level of Tianlinggen.
‘What a pity.’
Wuwei Zhenren had a flash of regret in his eyes.
"I remember your name is Chen Luo?"
"Yes."
"Do you also want to take the garrison mission down the mountain?"
Wu Wei Zhenren put the book aside and looked at Chen Luo, his eyes seemed to be examining him.
Chen Luo did not expect Wu Wei Zhenren to be so direct, but since the other party asked this, he took the opportunity to ask for some real news.
"Disciple heard"
"It's all true."
Wu Wei Zhenren interrupted Chen Luo's question.
"The rumors outside are all true. Su Tianyao and Ke Jiushe betrayed the sect. I can also tell you that the masters of Tianming Peak and Tianlu Peak have left the sect. Among the remaining seven of us, it's hard to say how many people are loyal to the sect."
Chen Luo was stunned by these words.
He didn't expect the situation of Shenhu Xianmen to have reached this point. No wonder Huang Ying's Senior Sister Shen ran away without saying a word.
Wu Wei Zhenren was very open and didn't hide anything. He directly told Chen Luo the actual situation of the sect.
"When the ancestor founded the sect, he emphasized profit first, and everything in the sect could be measured with spirit stones. This system allowed Shenhu Xianmen to quickly accumulate resources and successfully rise from weakness, but it also left a huge hidden danger."
"We don't have much affection for the sect. When the sect is strong, we gather around the sect to enjoy the resources. If the sect declines, we will not accompany the sect to die."
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on your choice."
After saying that, Wuwei Zhenren waved his hand.
He saw a scroll on the wall next to him automatically folded up and fell into his hands.
"I'm not talking to you so much, but I want to ask you for a favor."
"Teacher, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Chen Luo hurriedly replied. He didn't know what Wuwei Zhenren, a foundation-building immortal cultivator, wanted from him, a Qi-refining disciple.
