Chapter 1544: Chapter 358_5
Hao Ran Qi has its own consciousness.
If it’s unattainable, Hao Ran Qi is the righteousness within my heart, and my cultivation is not yet sufficient. Here, there are also the masters of the Firmament Sect, whose Confucian techniques surpass mine; we must maintain our peaceful mindset.”
Previously, Cao Zhen sent him some books of the Confucian School, books he had never seen before. In recent years, he had hardly been cultivating but was constantly studying the Confucian books sent by Cao Zhen. The more he read, the more he realized how much his scholarly cultivation lagged behind. The more he read, the calmer his mindset became.
As his words fell, suddenly, before him, on the land that seemed no different from other deserts, a ray of white light shot up into the sky. It was just a single strand of light, not bright, yet this gentle light instantaneously drew everyone’s attention.
A vast aura of righteousness filled the entire space.
Hao Ran Qi!
The next moment, Hao Ran Qi directly descended onto Ru Wenlin.
“Hao Ran Qi! Big Brother, this Hao Ran Qi acknowledges you!”
“Big Brother!”
On the side, Zhong Xinyi, Li Lingwei, and the others were overjoyed, but suddenly their expressions tightened!
Here, seeking Hao Ran Qi were not just the five of them; there were also several Earth Immortal Realm masters, and at this moment, these people were surrounding them.
Among them, six Earth Immortal Realm individuals wearing black robes embroidered with fierce beasts closed in.
Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts members!
Among the six, an elder with a Pixiu embroidered on the front of his garment flew to the five and pointed at Ru Wenlin, commanding, “Hand over Hao Ran Qi, and spare your lives!”
Just as his voice fell, from behind Ru Wenlin, a cold voice sounded, “Members of the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts, you’re too arrogant.
Here, you’re not the only ones who belong to the Great Teachings.”
As the voice ended, six more Earth Immortal Realm individuals appeared, standing beside Ru Wenlin and the others, each exuding a scholarly aura similar to Ru Wenlin’s.
“Members of the Firmament Sect!”
“In Eastern Province, one of the strongest two Confucianism sects!”
“Are they protecting the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
“Strange, never heard of any relation with the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“The one leading them is the Qianjun Immortal, who is at the peak of the Longevity Period, and among the peak of the Longevity Period, he is a formidable presence.”
“Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts may be a Great Teaching, but facing Qianjun Immortal, they’re unlikely to fare well.”
Around them, the rest, seeing members of the two Great Teachings facing off, stepped aside.
The two strongest forces present were the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Firmament Sect.
Beichen Ying, seeing the Firmament Sect stepping in to help, immediately displayed a hint of joy and cupped his hands towards the apparent leader, an elderly figure holding a paper fan with an immortal demeanor, saying, “Thank you, Dao Companion, for your assistance.”
Qianjun Immortal apparently did not take the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts seriously; he even turned his back completely toward them, nodding slightly at Beichen Ying, then looked at Ru Wenlin, speaking slowly, “Dao Companion, you are also a Scholar Cultivator, aren’t you.”
His voice was gentle, leaving a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Ru Wenlin also cupped his hands and said, “Incompetent, junior Ru Wenlin, indeed cultivating the Scholar Path.”
Qianjun Immortal nodded again, pointing at the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts members, saying, “Dao Companion, you can see for yourself that someone is now trying to steal your Hao Ran Qi.
In your current strength, you surely can’t protect Hao Ran Qi. Hao Ran Qi is the energy of righteousness, and if it falls into the hands of these Demonic Path people, it would be its greatest insult.
Why not entrust Hao Ran Qi to us? Our Firmament Sect is the strongest Confucianism sect in Eastern Province, and we will not disgrace Hao Ran Qi.”
Beichen Ying, listening to Qianjun Immortal, though the voice was the same, now felt it made him sick!
Opposite, the members of the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled upon hearing this, “I was wondering why your Firmament Sect wanted to protect the Hundred Peaks Sect, and it turns out you’re just like us, wanting to snatch someone else’s Hao Ran Qi.
You preach benevolence and righteousness all the time, but in the end… Tsk tsk, I think you’re more suited to be called the Demonic Sect, the Firmament Demonic Sect, that name sounds just right!”
“Silence, Pixiu Demon, if you want to die, just say so.” Qianjun Immortal suddenly burst with a sharp aura, glanced at the Pixiu Demon, and then looked at Ru Wenlin, “Dao Companion, we’re not trying to take Hao Ran Qi from you; we’re just helping you safeguard Hao Ran Qi.
Our intention is simply not to let Hao Ran Qi fall into the hands of these demonic sect people. After we leave here, Dao Companion, you can come to our Firmament Sect, and we will return it to you then.”
The hot-tempered Li Lingwei looked at Qianjun Immortal’s detestable face, suppressing her internal anger, “Thank you for your kind intention, but our Hundred Peaks Sect’s matters, we’d rather not trouble you.”
To go to the Firmament Sect and retrieve it, do they really think we are three-year-olds who would believe them?
