Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique
Chapter 297: Spirit Painting Technique"Go easy on them? Hmph, I'd love nothing more than to tear the Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect to pieces."
"They think they can just bully us? Damn it, we'll rebel!"
"Those bastards from the Giant Sword Sect, and that yellow-haired brat named Su! Just you wait, we'll kill you all."
Everyone in the tavern was filled with righteous indignation, all of them wanting to rebel.
In a corner, a young man in brocade robes drank his tea quietly, casually observing the scene.
The corners of the brocade-robed youth's mouth lifted. 'Just as Elder Lei expected. These bastards aren't content with celebrating Elder Su's birthday. They're plotting to rebel and even want to slaughter everyone from our Giant Sword Sect.'
"Senior Brother, what do we do now?"
The white-robed woman across from him asked, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
The brocade-robed youth instructed, "What else? Take out your little notebook and record all their names and faces."
The white-robed woman flipped her hand over, revealing a small, pure-white notebook that resembled uncarved jade.
WHOOSH!
The white-robed woman formed a hand seal, and her Soul Power continuously etched itself onto the notebook. An incredibly lifelike portrait immediately appeared on its pages, with each person's name noted beside it.
"Junior Sister Zhao Xue, your Spirit Painting Technique is getting more and more refined,"
the brocade-robed youth praised.
Zhao Xue replied shyly, "You flatter me, Senior Brother. I'm just a timid person. This is the only skill I have that's worth anything."
"This skill is more than enough!"
The brocade-robed youth asked, "Are you finished drawing?"
Zhao Xue nodded.
The brocade-robed youth instructed, "Then send the message. Get the information from here out. We still have other places to investigate."
The two of them left the tavern and found a secluded spot.
WHOOSH!
Zhao Xue formed another hand seal and chanted under her breath. The notebook in her hands instantly transformed into a streak of white light and vanished.
The message was sent!
The brocade-robed youth said, "Let's go. On to the next place!"
Zhao Xue asked as she followed close behind, "Senior Brother, all these people our Sect Leader invited are planning to rebel. Won't that anger Elder Su?"
"That's why we have to gather intelligence in advance!"
the brocade-robed youth said.
It was precisely because he anticipated their rebellion that Thunder Punishment had sent them out to gather information, hoping to eliminate these hidden dangers as much as possible.
「Giant Sword Sect.」
A streak of white light suddenly appeared before Thunder Punishment. With a light tap of his finger, the light was absorbed into his mind, and a grave expression appeared on his face.
"Elder Lei, what is it?"
the Giant Sword Sect's Sect Leader asked.
Thunder Punishment gritted his teeth and said, "It's just as we expected. People from several families are planning to rebel. They want to cause a huge scene at Elder Su's birthday celebration and even try to kill him."
"Is that so?"
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect asked with narrowed eyes, "Who are they? Tell me."
Thunder Punishment listed them off as if he knew them by heart, "Elder Li from the Golden Sun Sect, Scarred Hu Yidao, Nian Jiu of the Nian Family, Old Monster Feng from the Celestial Wind Sect... In short, they're all live wires."
"Live wires? Heh heh. In that case, I'll just have to cut the power. Let's see if they still dare to act so presumptuously."
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect said coldly, "Activate the sect's grand array. Notify Golden Sword Taishang and Silver Sword Taishang, and unseal that *thing*."
"That *thing*?"
Both Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen were shaken.
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect replied with cold arrogance, "That's right. The very one you're thinking of."
The world only knew of the Celestial Vault Battleship. Few were aware that the Giant Sword Sect possessed a hidden ultimate treasure, one whose power far surpassed it.
Elder Wen said worriedly, "Sect Leader, that thing is not easy to control. If we unseal it and let it out, I'm afraid even we might..."
"Rest assured, there won't be any problems!"
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect asked with a smile, "How long has it been since you've seen the two Taishangs, Golden Sword and Silver Sword?"
"I suppose... it's been about ten years,"
Thunder Punishment said.
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect nodded. "Correct. For the past ten years, the two Taishangs, Golden Sword and Silver Sword, have been refining that thing. They can now control it quite well."
"Is that really true?"
The faces of Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen were filled with pleasant surprise.
If they could truly control that thing, it would be like the Giant Sword Sect gaining a super-powerful combatant, one that could even crush Qingyang City.
"Of course, it's true!"
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect retorted, "What benefit would I gain from deceiving you?"
"In that case, Elder Su's birthday celebration will be foolproof,"
Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen said with a smile.
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect said, "This time, not only will we celebrate Elder Su's birthday, but we will also make a name for ourselves and restore the might of the Giant Sword Sect."
"Indeed. Our Giant Sword Sect has kept a low profile for so many years. It's time we made a move,"
Elder Wen said, brimming with confidence.
「In Qingyang City!」
Su Mo's brow furrowed. "Second Elder, you must have made a mistake. You're telling me to go to the Giant Sword Sect for a birthday celebration?"
"There's no mistake!"
The Second Elder said with a smile, "Old Lei said that the Giant Sword Sect will cover all the expenses for the celebration. All you have to do is sit back and collect the treasures. I figured it was a can't-lose deal, so I agreed."
"It's a can't-lose deal, sure, but what if something goes wrong?"
The Grand Elder scolded, "Second Brother, you're too reckless! How could you dare make such a decision on your own without consulting the Young Master?"
"I... I just thought it was a profitable opportunity, so I agreed,"
the Second Elder said, feeling wronged.
The Grand Elder said angrily, "The Young Master finally gets to have a birthday, and all you can think about is profit? Would it kill you to not be so money-grubbing?"
"You can't blame me for that!"
The Second Elder's face flushed red. "You put me in charge of the finances! It looks glamorous, but it's a bitter-ass job. The moment I open my eyes every day, thousands of people are waiting for me to distribute treasures, and tens of thousands of Demon Beasts need to be fed. Do you think I can get by without finding ways to earn more?"
"Even so, you can't just make your own decisions and use the Young Master as a tool to rake in cash,"
the Grand Elder chided.
The Second Elder seemed to realize his mistake. He turned to Su Mo and said, "Young Master, if you don't want to go, I'll tell Old Lei to call off the preparations."
"No need. I'll go!"
Su Mo said.
The Second Elder said in pleasant surprise, "You'll go?"
Su Mo nodded with a smile. "Of course I'll go if there's money to be made. In this day and age, you can live without anything except money."
'Just have to be a tool for a bit and I'll get paid.'
'There's no easier deal in the world.'
Besides, he wanted to go see the Central Profound Domain for himself anyway.
The Grand Elder said worriedly, "But what if..."
Su Mo said nonchalantly, "There is no 'what if.' Besides, I'm actually hoping something happens. It'll be a good chance to test my true strength. To this day, I still don't know where my limits are. Second Elder, let's prepare to depart."
"Is everyone going?"
the Second Elder asked.
Su Mo nodded. "Bring Desolate Old Monster and Sect Leader Chu along. Let them see the Central Profound Domain. You're coming too."
"Yes!"
the Second Elder said excitedly.
Ever since Su Mo's rise to power, he had been guarding the city. He'd never once been on a long journey, not even to the Imperial City of the Desolate Empire.
This time, it was finally his turn.
The entire Northern Profound Domain was now under Su Mo's intimidating presence; no one dared to act presumptuously toward Qingyang City. There was no need for him to stay behind and guard it anymore.
Soon, everyone was ready.
They set out!
Su Mo stepped onto the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and shouted, "Central Profound Domain, here I come!"
