Chapter 35: Hearing About the Bishui Sect Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Lei was shocked. After Ge Changqing tossed him to the side, he had hurriedly fled. When he sensed the terrifying waves of energy at his back, he felt as though Death was creeping up on him. At this moment, it meant nothing that he was a core disciple of the Sacred Land or that he was a son of a Primal Spirit cultivator. When he turned around and saw Ge Changqing’s soul being destroyed, he was shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Then, when Jiang Ming’s wicked laughter rang in the air, goosebumps erupted across his flesh and chills ran up his spine.

‘Run! Run! Run!’ Mu Lei repeated this word over and over again like a mantra in his mind. He brought out talismans and ignited them with his mana before he brought his Artifact out. He drew an arc in the air, traveling tens of miles away in just an instant. Alas, to an expert who could kill Ge Changqing, this distance was nothing. Although he had a head start, he only managed to travel several hundred miles.

At this moment, Mu Lei saw two figures atop a distant mountain in front of him. Their clothes fluttered in the air under the moonlight. He could sense a profound energy from the duo, and his eyes brightened immediately. He immediately changed course and flew toward them as he called out, “Seniors! I’m Mu Lei, a core disciple of Qingyun Sect! My mother is Elder Mu Shuiyun! A devil is chasing after me to kill me! Please help me!”

…

On the mountaintop.

The two individuals were playing chess under the moon earlier. The fragrance of tea and wine permeated the air around them. They chatted as they played. However, when they sensed a violent fluctuation of energy in the distance, they rose to their feet immediately. Soon after, they saw a figure flying toward them. They were about to turn and leave but stopped in their tracks upon hearing Mu Lei’s words and exchanged a look.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming finally caught up. He sneered. ‘This kid is really lucky! He’s about to die, but two people suddenly showed up at this place. They’re clearly going to protect him as well…’

At this moment, the white-clad elder standing on the left cupped his fists together and said loudly as his sleeves fluttered in the wind, “Comrade, as humans, we’re prone to making mistakes. We should forgive when we can. There’s no need to lower yourself and make things difficult for a junior. I’m Sima Lang of the Eastern Region’s Sima family!”

Following that, Sima Lang flashed a smile at Mu Lei.

Mu Lei sighed in relief. He wisely chose not to say anything else except, “Senior Sima! Your reputation precedes you!”

Sima Lang seemed overjoyed.

Jiang Ming’s eyebrow twitched. He remembered that he had once read a book about the forces in the Eastern Region. He sneered when he recalled the person in front of him. “The Sima family is one of the top ten major forces in the Eastern Region. Get lost, Sima Lang, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground, and your family will follow in your footsteps shortly.”

Devils were always unrestrained, cruel, violent, and vindictive.

Whoosh!

The Human Path Records flipped open.

Name: Sima Lang

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm.

Background: Elder of the Sima family

Relationship: -87

Innate Talent: Seven stars.

Status: After receiving an invitation by Lan Shi, an elder of Bishui Sect, he secretly came to investigate the situation in the Eastern Region. He wanted to find out how the Bishui Sect is going to avoid persecution if they move here. At the same time, they’ll also have to pick a faction to establish themselves. When he saw Mu Lei being chased, he was pleasantly surprised. He’s prepared to save Mu Lei.

‘-87? Wow! He’s going to kill just to curry favor with Mu Lei? In any case, he thinks too highly of himself.’

‘Invitation from Elder Lan Shi of Bishui Sect? They’re moving here? Where are they from then? Overseas?’ Jiang Ming found the word ‘invitation’ interesting. Naturally, when Bishui Sect was mentioned, he remembered Momo from Jiaoyang Peak.

At this time, Sima Lang scoffed. “You’re going to bury me here and kill my family? The devils never change; you’re all wicked to the bones! Have no fear, Comrade Mu. Comrade Lan and I will protect you today!”

“Comrade Mu is a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the Sacred Land! He’s a Proud Son, and his name will one day be known throughout the Eastern Region and the entire world. I won’t let this fellow threaten him! Comrade Sima, since we encountered this devil, we should work together to get rid of him to protect Comrade Mu,” Lan Shi said.

Mu Lei was overjoyed. He hastily thanked them. “Thank you, Seniors! I’ll remember this favor! When I return, I’ll surely tell my mother and the Sect Master about this. You’ll be esteemed guests of Qingyun Sect!”

“We’re not doing this for you to repay us,” Sima Lang said as he shook his head. Nevertheless, he could barely conceal the look of delight in his eyes.

“It’s our duty to rid the world of evil!” Lan Shi said as he stroked his beard, “Saving you is only part of the process, Comrade Mu. It’s enough that you serve us a cup of tea when we visit Qingyun Sect in the future.”

Mu Lei thumped his chest and said vehemently, “I’ll surely prepare grand gifts for you!”

Jiang Ming looked at the affectionate display in front of him speechlessly. ‘Are they really trying to forge a relationship now? Are they even taking me seriously?’

Swoosh!

The Human Path Records flipped open.

Name: Lan Shi

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Nascent Soul Realm.

Background. Elder of Bishui Sect.

Relationship: -92

Innate Talent: Eight stars.

Status: The situation overseas is tumultuous. He has a vague feeling that a disaster is about to befall them. Hence, his sect plans to move to the land of Shenzhou. After years of planning, the sect has finally seen some results. He came at the sect’s orders to contact the Sima family’s elder, who’s one of the sect’s people, to get the lay of the land. The sect’s also planning to get rid of a faction and to claim it for their own. When he heard Mu Lei stating his identity earlier, he was incredibly happy that he was being presented with a golden chance. He’s prepared to kill the devil.

‘What the…’ Jiang Ming did not care that Lanshi was a Nascent Soul cultivator or that their relationship value was -92, but the amount of information packed under Lan Shi’s status was overwhelming.

‘The situation overseas is tumultuous?’

Only a handful of disciples in Jiuyang Sect liked talking about the overseas nation. Not even his master, Gu Hai, knew much about the situation overseas. He read in the books that the seas were mostly infested with sea demons. It was a treacherous place. This was especially true for the places that were further away where nothing but barren lands existed. The furthest the disciples would go were places that were close to the sea where the risks were relatively low.

When Jiang Ming learned that Momo was a Bishui Sect disciple, he had a lot of questions. Now, many of his questions were answered. She was likely a scout.

To be honest, he was more shocked by the bravery of the Bishui Sect. It was one thing to move the sect here but to destroy a faction to establish their dominance?

‘Aren’t they worried that we’d team up and fight them? They clearly think that they’re superior to us. Well, as long as they leave Jiuyang Sect alone…’

At this moment, the two men stood in front of Mu Li with surging killing intent and imposing airs. One of them wielded a sword while a bell hovered above the other one.

Jiang Ming grinned. “You’re sure you’re going to protect him and stand in my way?”

With the bell hanging above him, Sima Lang said righteously, “Everyone will kill devils when they encounter them! You can choose to leave or die!”

“Why are we still talking? Let’s just kill him!” Lan Shi had a profound cultivation base and a powerful weapon. He was confident that he could kill the devil before him. He wanted to flaunt his strength to impress Mu Lei.

“The boundless seas will topple the universe; this sword will flip the oceans and cut down the mountain!” Lan Shi brandished his sword. There was a flash as a Vision of waves appeared in the sky. It was like a tsunami pulling back just before it crashed down with its boundless might.

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes that flashed with killing intent as he thought to himself, ‘You’re even more eager than I am to act. Who’s the devil? Well, I can hardly reason with a fool who deserves to die. Forget it!’

“Die!” Jiang Ming only uttered one word before he made his move.
