Chapter 1653: Chapter 1650: The Wangxian Sect
Three days later, the Lingxiao Sect.
Xiao Yixian appeared in a flash high above the entrance of the Lingxiao Sect.
Looking at this ancient cultivation sect with its Mountain Protection Array activated, Xiao Yixian recalled the bond of friendship he once shared with Zhao Yunzhi, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
After all, each serves their master, and destiny is hard to defy.
Reining in his thoughts, Xiao Yixian slowly spoke, "Is Jiang Yao here?"
He spoke lightly, yet his words clearly reached every disciple within the Lingxiao Sect.
Currently, presiding over the Lingxiao Sect was Huang Yuankui. Although he was at the late stage Core Formation cultivation, hearing Xiao Yixian’s voice sent chills down his spine, filling him with terror.
As a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, since the ancestor had already led the elite of the sect to aid the Shang Qing Sect, and the Sect Master Jiang Yao had sent word a few days ago of an important matter requiring his temporary absence, all he could do was brace himself for the challenge.
Quickly tidying his attire, Huang Yuankui flew out and, from afar, saluted Xiao Yixian respectfully, "Reporting to the senior, our sect master left the sect a few days ago, his whereabouts are unknown."
Xiao Yixian made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Deactivate the Mountain Protection Array and let me have a look around."
Huang Yuankui’s expression changed dramatically.
He didn’t recognize Xiao Yixian, but that did not prevent him from feeling fear toward this individual, for he was a master at the Divinity Transformation Realm level.
"Senior, I..." Huang Yuankui struggled to find words, wanting to refuse.
Xiao Yixian didn’t wait for him to speak and waved his hand, "In consideration of Zhao Yunzhi, I don’t want to act personally. Besides, the Mountain Protection Array of your Lingxiao Sect, without Zhao Yunzhi’s control, how could it stop me? If I have to act personally, your Mountain Protection Array would be destroyed, and the cost to repair it would be enormous."
Huang Yuankui was drenched in cold sweat.
Forcing himself, he said, "Might I know the esteemed senior’s name?"
"Xiao Yixian."
Huang Yuankui gasped sharply.
It’s indeed a big shot from the Wangxian Sect.
He hesitated for a moment, then decisively made a choice and ceased the operation of the Mountain Protection Array.
Just as Xiao Yixian said, if the other side attacked strongly, under his guidance, the Mountain Protection Array’s power would be too weak, at most holding for a few breaths of time.
Given this, it was wiser to be sensible.
After all, he had heard that his own ancestor and this elder Xiao Yixian had a relatively good relationship, often corresponding through letters.
However, the other was from the Wangxian Sect, while their Lingxiao Sect belonged to the Shang Qing Sect’s jurisdiction. Now that the Wangxian Sect is at war with the Shang Qing Sect, the Lingxiao Sect stands on the opposite side of the Wangxian Sect.
Had it been another Divinity Transformation Realm master from the Wangxian Sect who came today, there might not have been such courtesy.
Thus, Huang Yuankui very decisively chose to compromise to avoid angering the other, bringing unnecessary catastrophe to the Lingxiao Sect.
Just after put away the Mountain Protection Array, Huang Yuankui’s heart skipped a beat, nearly causing him to fall from the sky.
A powerful Divine Sense covered the area, instantly locking down the entire Lingxiao Sect’s realm.
All disciples within the Lingxiao Sect were prostrate on the ground, trembling.
Fortunately, this feeling didn’t last long before it disappeared.
After confirming that Jiang Yao was indeed not there, Xiao Yixian retrieved his Divine Sense, and in the next moment, disappeared completely.
Huang Yuankui exhaled a heavy breath of foul air and wiped his forehead with his hand.
Ye Wuya arrived with a worried look, respectfully saying, "Uncle Huang, are you okay?"
Huang Yuankui gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "I’m fine. Elder Xiao Yixian showed mercy to us in the Lingxiao Sect, for the sake of our ancestor."
Ye Wuya nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, "Yes, I thought our Lingxiao Sect was going to suffer a major calamity today."
Currently, in wartime, the Lingxiao Sect, dependent on the Shang Qing Sect, facing a Divinity Transformation Realm master from the Wangxian Sect, how could they not be fearful?
If the other was displeased, it would only take a slight move, and those left in the Lingxiao Sect would end up wiped out.
"Why did the sect master leave at such a time?" Ye Wuya asked in confusion.
Huang Yuankui glanced at him and sighed, "Today’s situation, if the sect master were home, it might be even worse. As for why he left at such a moment, he naturally had more important matters to attend to."
Ye Wuya silently nodded.
Indeed.
If Jiang Yao were at home and faced an opponent like Xiao Yixian, he might not be able to put aside his pride and might try to clash with the other, which would instead bring devastating disaster to the Lingxiao Sect.
Today’s situation is better.
We, with just Core Formation cultivation, facing a top-notch master like Xiao Yixian, it’s not shameful to yield and bow down, even if it spreads in the future.
"Alas, I wonder if our Lingxiao Sect can safely weather this catastrophe." Huang Yuankui said with concern.
Ye Wuya’s heart sank as he looked towards the direction of the Shang Qing Sect, revealing a deep worry in his eyes, uncertain whether it was concern for the comrades supporting the Shang Qing Sect or worrying for others.
Meanwhile, after checking the Lingxiao Sect, Xiao Yixian immediately headed to the Flame Moon Sect.
Li Yang and the disciples guarding the Flame Moon Sect trembled in fear upon seeing Xiao Yixian appear.
With Ancestor Li Shuya absent, any resistance would be simply throwing lives away.
Fortunately, Xiao Yixian was mild-tempered and not prone to killing the innocent. After a brief inquiry, he learned that Jiang Yao had left with Yang Fei through the Transmission Array a few days ago and used the Flame Moon Sect’s Transmission Array to track their path.
"Yang Fei, don’t blame me for not being able to keep your secret. I... I am also helpless and have to be responsible for the lives of so many disciples of the Flame Moon Sect."
Li Yang murmured to himself, silently praying in his heart, hoping Yang Fei and Jiang Yao could evade Xiao Yixian’s pursuit.
But is that possible?
The speed of a Divinity Transformation Realm master is far superior to that of the late-stage Nascent Soul.
Moreover, as Li Yang saw it, since Yang Fei was without the protection of a Divinity Transformation Realm master, and had a clear route intending to go to the Shang Qing Sect, the Wangxian Sect could deploy various interception methods.
Although the main force of the Wangxian Sect is now at the Shang Qing Sect, there are many sects and families in the Southern Domain Cultivation World affiliated with the Wangxian Sect, whose experts will surely go all out to aid Wangxian Sect.
And, if these people also know of Yang Fei’s value, they would undoubtedly rush out with their elite experts to intercept, without needing Wangxian Sect’s command.
"Is the sky over the Southern Domain going to collapse?"
Li Yang worriedly wondered to himself.
She already held no hope for the future of the Southern Domain Cultivation World.
Indeed, there is much killing and strife in the cultivation world, but since everyone seeks immortality, they attempt to maintain balance, allowing everyone to focus on cultivation and promotion of realm.
Precisely because of this, the Southern Domain Cultivation World, although having three top forces open and hidden confrontations and intense competition, has never truly broken the balance, maintaining the basic order of the Southern Domain.
But now, this foundation has broken.
From this moment on, even if the Outer Domain forces do not take advantage during chaos, the internal strife and slaughter in the Southern Domain will be unending. The environment Southern Domain cultivators need for peaceful cultivation has vanished forever.
