Chapter 417 – Temples

Yan Qinxi’s smiling face was like a flower, but Yang Junshan’s head was pounding.

“Are you really here to congratulate my father on becoming a true person?” Yang Junshan’s tone was filled with disbelief.

“Of course,” Yan Qinxi pointed to the two middle-aged cultivators behind her and answered resolutely, “Look, these are Senior Master Xiao and Senior Master Kang. The two of them came here with a letter personally written by the Sect Master according to the sect’s orders.”

Seeing the two cultivators nod their heads slightly, Yang Junshan immediately used the courtesy of a junior to meet them, and he did not dare to be negligent, and immediately called for Yang Junping who kept sneaking glances at Yan Qinxi and Yang Junshan to bring the two messengers of the Tan Xi Sect to the Spirit Spring Chamber to meet Yang Tiangang.

Not to mention that the Tan Xi Sect was like the sun in the sky right now, after the war with the Adept Jiang Tao, the number one sect, the Damascus Seal Faction, had been beaten up by the Xi’an County into hiding within the sect, relying on the protective formation to keep themselves alive. Just by being the head of a sect, the fact that the Adept Chang Li was able to writersonal letter congratulating Yang Tiangang on advancing to the realms of life was a huge honor.

At the very least, the Adept Qing Shu of the Heaven-Shaken Sect did not send a single congratulatory letter, but only sent a Successor Disciple like Song Wei to celebrate.

Furthermore, this Adept Chang Li’s reputation in his previous life was like thunder piercing his ears.

In the past, Tan Xi Sect Old Daoist Yan was old and sturdy, he was Tan Xi Sect’s number one expert; Yan Dazhi’s talismans and swords were both perfect, his reputation was brilliant; Yan Qinxi waalented young man.

All three generations of the Yan Clan’s members were outstanding talents. All of the cultivators in Yuzhou exclaimed in shock. It was likely that from now on, Tan Xi Sect would become the “Yan Xi Sect”.

As for who was the Sect Leader of the Tan Xi Sect, there was actually a Sect Leader in the Tan Xi Sect?

No one was willing to pay attention to him, but in the end, it was also because the reputation of the “Yan Xi Sect” had reached its peak that the cultivators of the Yuzhou’s cultivation world couldn’t resist their curiosity and wanted to find out who exactly this Sect Leader of the Tan Xi Sect was. This low profile Sect Leader’s reputation had become well-known in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world, but he was known to use this sort of method to set others on edge.

However, when some people guessed that this Sect Leader was jusalkative person and that his position was something that could be decided by Old Daoist Yan with a single word, this Adept Chang Li was actually the Sect Leader of the Tan Xi Sect for decades.

During the time that the Adept was in charge of the Tan Xi Sect, he had revealed the relationship between the Yan Clan and the other Adepts in the Tan Xi Sect, stabilized the inner parts of the Tan Xi Sect, and then broke through the Damascus Seal Sect, thoroughly exterminating the entire sect. He had turned more than half of the Xi’an County into an area of influence, establishing the position of the number one sect in the Tan Xi Sect, and even the three great sects in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou.

During the time he was in charge of the Tan Xi Sect, the strength of the Tan Xi Sect grew day by day, and many disciples of the sect advanced to the realms of life, while his own cultivation was even higher, reaching the stage where he could be on par with old Daoist Yan. It was only at this moment that the cultivation world of the Yuzhou realized that the strongest person in the Tan Xi Sect was probably not the number one expert, Old Daoist Yan.

One of them was even an old acquaintance, who was standing right in front of and behind her when she was in the Sunset Ridge. The other one, who looked to be quite old, was actually a late stage Pure Qi Realm cultivator, thus, he asked in confusion: “This is …”

Yan Qinxi replied, “This is Junior Master Lu Jing. He and Uncle Zhong are here to escort me to the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak.”

“I knew it…” Yang Junshan slapped his forehead and said.

Yan Qinxi laughed: “I have not thanked you yet, the last time we worked together, the inheritance we brought back from the Heaven-Shaking Peak was a great contribution, Sect Leader Senior Master has heavily rewarded me!”

“So this time, you plan on making a trip to the Heaven-Shaking Peak with me?”

Yan Qinxi nodded and laughed, “It is said that you can even trap a cultivator using an array formation. If you go to Heaven-Shaking Peak, you will have to break layers of forbidden array, and at that time, you will be the main star.”

Yang Junshan curled his lips and said: “Don’t talk about those useless things, I know my own limits. Wanting to challenge the forbidden array by myself is simply impossible.

Yan Qinxi’s face immediately fell as she said unhappily: “I brought it, just one. The elimination talisman isn’t that easy to make, and my father is busy with cultivation. It’s already not bad to find time to make one for me!”

“One is, indeed, a bit less. However, with the help of Senior Yan and Senior Lu, as well as the people from the Ning family, I think we’ll at least be able to go a bit further than we did last time.”

Yan Qinxi was displeased to hear this, and asked: “Who else?”

After the two messengers from the Tan Xi Sect paid respects to Yang Tiangang and handed over the handwritten letters from the Adept Chang Li, they returned to the Tan Xi Sect on the second day. On the third day, Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi gathered with Ning Bin the three of them who had rushed over from the Wangshan Town.

Amongst the eleven people in the group, other than Yan Qinxi and the other two cultivators of the Ning Family, one of them was called Ning He, the other was called Ning Qing, and their cultivation was also at the fourth level of the martial arts realm. According to their seniority, both of them were’s clan uncles, while Ning Bin was the same as Yang Junshan, they were both at the great perfection stage.

But this time, Yang Junshan’s group had the largest number of people. Other than Yang Junping and Su Baozhang, he also included Wu Shuo and Jiu Li who had nothing else to do.

Yan Qinxi was obviously dissatisfied with Ning Bin and the other two joining the group, she could not do anything about the young miss, she could not simply say that he had an agreement with her, so she could only look at her apologetically.

However, fortunately, Ning Bin waactful person and they were both youths. Since Yan Qinxi had a lively personality, it would only take them half a day to get along with each other before the grudges in their hearts disappeared like smoke in thin air.

On this day, everyone headed all the way north to the border of Mengyu County and the Yu Cheng, and they heard the sound of bells from afar, and they also heard the green smoke rising from the deep parts of the forest by the side of the road. Everyone looked at each other, and Yan Qinxi, who was originally in a good mood, led the pack horses and beasts, and followed the direction of the sound.

Fortunately, the young lady had not completely charged through yet, so the group arrived aigh mountain overlooking the forest. Everyone looked at each other, then pointed at the building: “What is this, why do I see so many people kowtowing to those clay statues?”

After a moment, Yang Junshan slowly said: “This is called a temple, and is a cultivation grounds for a group of people who claim to be from the Shi nationality.”

“Shi nationality, what is a Shi nationality?”

It was not only Yan Qinxi who was asking this question, other people were also casting doubtful gazes at Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan laughed bitterly, he did not know how to answer, but suddenly spoke out: “It really is those bald donkeys, relying on absorbing the spirit of ordinary people to cultivate, they even have names of faith power, they only treat the followers as captive animals.”

Wu Shuo, who was at the side, said: “People from the Shi nationality aren’t necessarily the same. Some ascetic monks aren’t bad either, their methods and perseverance in cultivation is admirable.”

Jiu Li snorted and said: “There are only a few ascetic monks, but the majority of them are things that one would obtain without working hard. These people are even worse than the Demonic Cultivator, who kill and set fire to the world with a straight face, how can they be like these bald donkeys, who reap the essence of their followers and even call themselves merciful?

The two of them continued to talk among themselves, but it was clear that they understood the Shi nationality very well, but very quickly, Jiu Li’s personality of wanting the world to become chaotic rose, and he turned around: “Hey, Xiao Yang, how about we pick out this temple?”

Yang Junshan laughed bitterly, both Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin looked like they were unwilling to get into trouble, and said: “Exactly how powerful are the cultivators of the Shi nationality in this temple? Since we are not clear about the situation, and we have matters to attend to, there is no need to create unnecessary problems, but I will send word to my father to inform him about the situation here, and send people to watch over him, at the same time I will prevent the people of the Shi nationality from developing believers in the Wasteland Town.”

Most of Yang Junshan’s words were for Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin to hear, but the possibility of the two of them listening was not high.

Everyone followed suit and left. Only Yang Junshan sent a Message Talisman back towards the direction of the Wasteland Town, then he looked at the temple in the valley deeply. He raised the reins in his hands, and chased after the others.

As they walked along the road, they frequently encountered ferocious beasts that jumped out from the trees and grass on both sides of the road. The bloodthirsty aura of many ferocious beasts was enough to scare the Hunchbacked Beast into repeatedly crying out in alarm.

The originally dispirited Jiu Li instantly became excited. These ferocious beasts would usually be beaten to death the moment they leapt out.

It was indeed a violent fight, the Witch Clan’s method of killing was not as effective as Yang Junshan and the others, they were more direct and preferred to fight head on with their enemies. Their blood and roars could more easily rouse their desire to fight.

Seeing that Ning Bin and Yan Qinxi were both stunned, Yang Junshan quietly asked Wu Shuo: “Is Jiu Li’s Bloodthirsty Incantation about to be completed?”

Wu Shuo nodded his head, and said: “I have almost mastered it, the Qi around her body is fluctuating, this is the sign of advancing to the third stage. Once the Bloodthirsty Curse is completed, Jiu Li’s cultivation speed in the Power Wu Realm will increase.”

Yang Junshan nodded his head, but just as he was thinking about how to explain it to Ning Bin and Yan Qinxi, he suddenly felt the Qi around Jiu Li’s body jump, and after a moment, it jumped again.

Yang Junshan immediately looked at Wu Shuo, only to see that his face was also filled with happiness, and he said: “I’m about to break through!”
