Chapter 1509: Chapter 352_6
Cao Zhen informed everyone of the reasons for his actions, then looked at the group and said, “Everyone, please bear with this for now and stay underground temporarily.”
The sky gradually turned dark.
That night, messages from Hundred Peaks Sect spread quickly, soon reaching the Weeping Blood Demon Sect.
Though it was already dark, a group of high-level members gathered in the hall of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect.
On the high seat, the Bloodless Demon saw that everyone had arrived and solemnly began, “I’ve received information. The Hundred Peaks Sect has set out today and begun recruiting disciples ahead of schedule. They will…”
He soon revealed the actions of the Hundred Peaks Sect and then looked at everyone asking, “What do you all think of this matter?”
“Sect Hierarch…” Below, an elder dressed in blood-red robes rather than the usual black sect attire spoke in a low voice, “I also know the Innate Escaping Body, suitable for various escape techniques, but an Earth Immortal Realm Innate Escaping Body leading nearly a hundred people underground is somewhat excessive, isn’t it? Can they achieve this?”
Before the Bloodless Demon could respond, someone below spoke up, “Under normal circumstances, certainly not. But don’t forget, Cao Zhen is a reincarnated great ability with numerous means at his disposal.”
Our various sects are aware of the Ancient Immortal Body, yet no great sect has managed to make the Ancient Immortal Body break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, but Cao Zhen accomplished it!
Moreover, Cao Zhen can let their disciples perform Mysterious Rank spells even in the early stages of the Longevity Period… Cao Zhen has special methods to teach his disciples, making it normal for them to lead so many in escape.”
As the words fell, everyone around nodded in agreement.
“Since no one has any objections, I’ll inform the Love-Blood Devil to join with the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect and directly attack Hundred Peaks Sect.”
Although Love-Blood Devil comes from a branch sect and has a lower status, she leads a significant number of awakened Earth Immortals in this operation.
Her previous plan, in conjunction with other demonic sects, to attack Void Breaking Sect brought enormous benefits to our Weeping Blood Demon Sect.
It was the three major demonic sects that attacked Void Breaking Sect, but the resources weren’t evenly distributed; whoever could seize them kept them.
The plan was originally proposed by our Weeping Blood Demon Sect, and among the three major sects, we were the strongest, ultimately seizing the most resources.
Just based on that plan, her status within the entire Weeping Blood Demon Sect rose directly to just below the Bloodless Demon!
Both Soul Breaking Demonic Sect and Weeping Blood Demon Sect have lost important disciples to Hundred Peaks Sect, revenge is natural.
Previously, we didn’t take action partly because we were digesting the various resources seized from Void Breaking Sect, like retraining treasures for better compatibility or learning certain spells.
On the other hand, Love-Blood Devil suggested directly attacking Hundred Peaks Sect, though we could capture Hundred Peaks Sect, inevitable losses might occur.
Rather than attacking now, she suggested waiting for a moment, knowing Hundred Peaks Sect would recruit disciples every ten years. As someone from Eastern Wasteland, she was familiar with the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and various Immortal Sects and suggested acting at this time.
Since leaving Hundred Peaks Sect, Xiang Ziyu brazenly headed towards Vast River City, the farthest from Hundred Peaks Sect, genuinely hoping for attacks from Soul Breaking Demonic Sect and Weeping Blood Demon Sect, yet even after reaching Vast River City, he encountered no attacks.
“What’s going on with them? Why haven’t they acted? If they don’t move soon, I’ll end up recruiting disciples, then if attacked while piloting the flying boat, as the protagonist, I’ll be fine, but the newly recruited disciples will be in danger.”
Xiang Ziyu watched the not-so-populous city, then piloted the marked Hundred Peaks Sect flying boat to land.
In the city, the inhabitants saw the flying boat landing and felt huge surprise.
“Such a large flying boat, is an Immortal arriving?”
“It’s a Hundred Peaks Sect flying boat; why has it directly landed in the city?”
“Hundred Peaks Sect only lands flying boats in the city during disciple recruitment, are they recruiting now?”
“Usually, when Hundred Peaks Sect recruits in Vast River City, it’s not this early!”
“Right, though the recruitment days aren’t fixed exactly, it’s usually within two days, but this time they’ve arrived ten days early!”
Amongst the discussions, the flying boat in the void folded away, and an Immortal descended slowly.
The crowd, more astonished than before, recognized the Immortal.
“It’s Xiang Ziyu, Sect Leader Cao’s disciple!”
Currently, within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, Cao Zhen’s influence among mortals has surpassed the Grand Preceptor, his Immortal statues exist in many places, and many worship him during festivals.
In the area controlled by Hundred Peaks Sect, the original few disciples following Cao Zhen gained significant fame; though their Immortal statues aren’t present, portraits circulate.
Yet soon, everyone noticed something amiss.
“Something’s wrong, why did he land alone?”
“Exactly, during recruitment there should not be only one Immortal!”
“Right, is it truly not recruitment?”
Amidst the crowd’s confusion, Xiang Ziyu began to speak, “Everyone, I…”
He came anyway, couldn’t possibly refrain from recruiting disciples. But just as he spoke three words, his master’s voice echoed in his mind: “Return to Hundred Peaks Sect immediately, both Soul Breaking Demonic Sect and Weeping Blood Demon Sect have attacked, two major demonic sects with over two hundred Earth Immortal Realms!”
Xiang Ziyu’s expression instantly tightened, looking at the crowd below, “Everyone, I’m just passing by here, sensed genius disciples in the city, so I came to take a look. Please don’t mind. Well, I have matters to attend to, I’ll leave now, and after some time, I’ll personally come to recruit disciples.”
