Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Do You Really Expect to Be Let Out Like This?_1

The Fourth Elder was typically dressed as a Confucian cultivator, immaculate in his white robe, holding a paper fan. He was steady when he moved, gentle to all, considerate in his conduct, treating all disciples equally: “You need to steer clear of Old Nine. Fortunately, his recent disappearance has spared you his trouble.”

“You must value the opportunity to learn from Yun Zhi. Learning from Old Nine is a dead end.”

“The sage once said that a gentleman has five virtues – benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and truthfulness. Old Nine has none of these. He has committed all manner of deceptions and wrongdoings. I even have lost count of how many times I had to bail him out of prison.”

“Do you know about the ultimate swordsmanship technique of your master?”

Lu Yang answered, “The Eldest Senior Sister once mentioned it. It is ‘One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand’. When fully utilizing it, a single sword can evolve into millions, like storm clouds over the city, covering the sky. It strikes down enemies with piercing eyes. After killing the enemy, ten thousand swords return to one without a drop of blood on them.”

When he heard the Eldest Senior Sister’s description at the time, Lu Yang yearned for it, feeling that this was the true essence of the elegant and unrestrained sword cultivator.

The Fourth Elder nodded, “Correct, ‘One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand’. Old Nine, as a Sword Spirit Root, is indeed a rare swordsmanship genius. There are only a handful of sword cultivators in the world who can reach his realm.”

Lu Yang felt curious as he always sensed an indescribable tone in the Fourth Elder’s language — something resembling grudging resentment, humiliating association, and disappointment that steel has yet to become hard?

Perhaps that was the feeling.

Then he heard the Fourth Elder continue, “Once, when Old Nine cast his sword technique, ‘One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand’, he sold those ten thousand evolved swords to the Land Money Trade Association. After receiving the money, he recast ‘All Swords Return to One’. But for my intervention and a lot of explanations that mollified the Association’s owner, your master would now be in prison!”

Lu Yang: “…”

It seems his master truly deserved his imprisonment.

“Also, have you heard about the spell ‘Wish Granting Technique: Local Version’?”

“I just heard about it from the Third Elder.”

“The existence of this magical skill must not be spread. The younger disciples now don’t know about it. But if you go back a hundred years, the newly joined disciples were all clamoring to learn this skill and become apprentices under Old Nine.”

“Fortunately, Yun Zhi, the Martial Nephew, took the overall situation into account, destroyed the copies of this magical skill, and left the original in the upper layer of the Scripture Pavilion with intentional avoidance. That’s why there are no disciples clamoring to learn this magic skill now.”

The Fourth Elder had a deeply pained look: “The world is going downhill.”

Lu Yang didn’t have the heart to tell Fourth Elder that he was actually interested in learning that magic skill himself.

Sorry, I reflect.

The Fourth Elder’s tone slightly softened: “However, Old Nine has some good points as well. At least after he became the Sect Leader, our Seek Dao Sect has become much stronger as a whole than before. Of course, this isn’t entirely his merit, we eight have made significant contributions.”

Lu Yang failed to understand whether the Fourth Elder was praising his master or himself.

“By the way, why do you suddenly care about what kind of person Old Nine is?”

Lu Yang laughed it off: “Nothing, nothing. I’ve just been curious since I haven’t met him since becoming his apprentice.”

“Curiosity is a good thing, but don’t waste it on Old Nine.”

After asking three people, Lu Yang finally had a rough idea of what kind of person his master was.

And he expects to be released?

The Heavenly Strategy Sect was located on the eastern side of the continent, occupying a vast area. From the air, you would see that it was shaped like an inverted Eight Diagrams, a truly marvel.

The Heavenly Strategy Sect was tranquil, with few people, like a hermit sect hidden deep within the mountains. It was quiet yet ominous.

The most significant reason for the sect’s quietness was that they sent their disciples off to repay debts, leaving only a few people in the vast sect.

It was a strategy to cut costs and refine one’s heart amidst hustle and bustle—a win-win situation.

A shout broke the tranquility of the Heavenly Strategy Sect.

“Master, master, I am back!” After Luo Bo ran into the sect, he directly went to find his master.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect heard his disciple calling and came out of his Abode: “Good boy, why are you back so soon? Have you thought of a way to repay the debts?”

Luo Bo was panting: “Not yet. When I was traveling, someone asked me to predict their future, and I ran into a tricky character. I wanted to come back and warn the sect to be on guard.”

“Sit down and tell it slowly.”

Luo Bo caught his breath before saying: “I was traveling in Yanjiang County. I was penniless at the time, so I thought I’d make a few casual predictions to scam some unlucky fools.”

“By chance, I met three disciples from Seek Dao Sect and one from Laurel Fairy Palace. They were all prime targets.”

“I wasn’t planning on taking it seriously, just going through the motions. But what I didn’t expect was that one of them was extraordinarily unusual.”

“The man’s name is Lu Yang. His cultivation isn’t high since he’s just started, but his future is incredibly terrifying.”

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect was interested: “You mean we invest in him in advance, so he will help us repay our debts when he becomes successful?”

Luo Bo quickly extinguished his master’s terrifying idea: “No no no, I see that Lu Yang’s future is destined to have causality entangled with several Immortals.”

“Entangled with the causality of several Immortals?!” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect lost his voice. Normally, entanglement with one Immortal alone could lead to a swift destruction. Would this Lu Yang, who will have major causality with several Immortals, survive?

What they of the Heavenly Strategy Sect were most averse to, was any association with those having major causality. The heavier the causality, the more difficult the cultivation, and the more they struggle to break free, the tighter the causality would bind them.

“That’s not all. I found out that Lu Yang will spread the malaize of Seek Dao Sect throughout the Cultivation World.”

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect took a sharp intake of breath, why didn’t you say this earlier? Compared to this, what does the causality with Immortals matter?

Having causality with Immortals showed that he had a promising future, spreading Seek Dao Sect’s perverse practices meant he had a brain problem!

“All in all, we should avoid having anything to do with Seek Dao Sect as much as possible, especially that Lu Yang, the farther away we stay, the better!”

Suddenly, the complexion of the Heavenly Strategy Sect’s Sect Leader changed. “What’s wrong, Master?”

“There’s a barbaric and aggressive energy heading our way. I suspect it bears ill intent! Initiate the main defense array first!”

With decisive action, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect activated the sect’s primary defense array.

The array nodes lit up, like stars in the night sky, forming the shape of the Eight Diagrams.

A massive Eight Diagrams covered the sect. Indomitable, complicated, and hard to find an exit. Those who fall into the array spend lifetimes unable to unravel its mystery. Countless Great Powers at the Unification realm had returned empty-handed, and some with impure intentions even died within the array!

The protective power of the Heavenly Strategy Sect’s protection array was apparent!

The incoming individual did not hesitate even in the face of the complex array, displaying a cocky arrogance.

Faced with the complex array, the comer extended a hand, and the array shattered.

Only then did the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect get a good look at the comer. A graceful figure, godlike and inviolable.

“Yun Zhi of Seek Dao Sect pays respects to the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Strategy Sect. I humbly ask for an audience.”

The face of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Strategy Sect turned pale. Speak of the Seek Dao Sect, and it appears.
