AWB Chapter 30 Cloud Soaring Sect 3
Chapter 30 Cloud Soaring Sect 3
"Master." Upon seeing Qingxu and the three of them, he immediately went to greet them.
On the bed, Huo Yan, Nan Xingze, Nan Yanzhe, and Qin Che all struggled to look towards the door. So many people died in this secret realm; there must be an explanation.
"Elder Tian Shu and Venerable Ding Yan have arrived. According to them, it's because that woman's luck is extremely strong; she can almost be called a woman of destiny." Mentioning this, both Venerables had mocking smiles on their lips.
"A woman of destiny?" Cheng Jiu's mind went blank when he heard this term.
No, if she really is a woman of destiny, then she failed to pick the Pure Heart Lotus and wanted the little white beast, but the little white beast refused her.
Whose daughter of destiny is so lucky? Shouldn't she get the Pure Heart Lotus no matter how many people are sacrificed, and shouldn't the little white beast rush into her arms like it would when it sees its mother?
"So we're just going to let her go like that?" After all, the term "woman of destiny" sounds very prestigious, and the Heavenly Dao of this world is conscious.
"Elder Tian Shu only said that; in the end, they will likely implement stricter execution standards for them."
"The Xuan Tian Continent has no women of destiny, nor even children of destiny. Otherwise, there wouldn't be several golden-level talents appearing in every generation!" The two Venerable Lords revealed a secret of the continent.
The Xuan Tian Continent isn't without its own stories, many of which feature women who become women of destiny or chosen ones. It's surprising that the Xuan Tian Continent doesn't actually have any in reality!
The group listened with expressions of complete understanding, but their hearts were in turmoil.
"The verdict on that woman and her senior brother will probably be handed down in about three days, and their master will also be investigated. It seems that Venerable Dingyan really believes in such things as the 'woman of destiny,' so he must have had some contact with those rats in the gutter." Venerable Qingxu rubbed his forehead.
"I don't know what's going on, but in the past few years, those filthy insects and rats have actually come out."
However, the royal family member that was captured this time made a great contribution. By searching its memories, they learned that the royal family had set up a demon-slaying array in the secret realm.
That's why those immortals arrived so quickly! The Immortal Palace also mobilized this time, but the mastermind behind it all is still nowhere to be found; even the little prince of the Demon Clan doesn't know much about it." Venerable Qingxu briefly explained the situation.
This time, the five major sects suffered heavy losses, not to mention the smaller sects. It is a great blessing that any of their disciples survived.
With such heavy casualties, the Cloud Soaring Sect definitely needs to provide an explanation, and the injured disciples also need to recuperate. Furthermore, the final rankings of the sect competition must be announced.
With various matters piling up, no one has left Yunxiao Sect yet; instead, even more people have come to Yunxiao Sect.
Seven days later, on a clear, cloudless day, all the disciples had recovered. In the center of the arena where the competition had taken place, stood two crosses forged from refined iron. Bound to them were two people, the very culprits who had caused the beast tide.
The woman was already in a very sorry state, but she kept shouting that she was the woman of destiny and that if they dared to kill her, they would be punished by heaven.
The sect leader of Yunxiao Sect calmly and solemnly apologized, explaining the course of his investigation and the origin of this secret realm.
This time, the secret realm for the sect competition is a newly descended secret realm within the territory of the Cloud Soaring Sect, and it has been investigated by powerful figures.
According to the Immortal Palace, this was a conspiracy by the demon race. The demon-slaying array was set up in a very secretive way.
To carry out this wicked plan, the demons even created three secret realms in one go.
Moreover, they are all large-scale secret realms, and were personally deployed by the Demon Emperor, accounting for 1/3 of the new secret realms acquired by the Cloud Soaring Sect this time.
The other two secret realms, Cloud Soaring Sect, were also destroyed later.
However, this was ultimately a mistake by the Cloud Soaring Sect. Therefore, the Cloud Soaring Sect will have to bear the cost of the losses in this secret realm.
Finally, the two disciples of the culprits in the secret realm were executed by Heavenly Punishment.
Because of his lax teachings and lack of repentance, Lord Dingyan will be locked in an underground mine and never be able to return.
This was a fate worse than death for a high-ranking ruler. After all, the other party had only had his spirit locked, not his cultivation destroyed, meaning he could no longer cultivate and could only continue mining.
Your Majesty's lifespan is a full 8000 years! While the other party is not even 2000 years old yet. One can imagine how miserable the next few thousand years will be, a life where one can neither live nor die.
For a cultivator seeking immortality, this was an immense torment of lifespan. His other disciple, upon hearing the execution of the three, breathed a long sigh of relief. Although, because of her master, she might not have an easy time in the sect afterward.
However, without her master's exploitation, she can steadily improve her strength.
Moreover, she possesses a gold-level aptitude, and if she breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, she can become an elder of the outer sect.
Suddenly, she had something to look forward to, and deep down she didn't really want to betray her sect.
The reason I thought that way back then was simply because the cultivation world places great importance on the master-disciple relationship. The saying "A teacher for a day is a father for life" is no joke.
Unless her master commits something extremely heinous, she can only betray the sect, but she will be condemned by the world and the sect will not tolerate her.
As the execution began, Elder Tian Shu slowly walked out from the side and finally sat down on the arena, closing his eyes and constantly making hand seals to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.
As a gust of wind rose from the ground, the calm and clear sky slowly filled with thunderclouds, which churned and roared like ancient, monstrous beasts.
This thundercloud is nothing like the one summoned by Lord Qianli. It is much fiercer and more threatening, with lightning flashing within it. The moment you see it, a huge sense of crisis will surge in your heart, leaving only two words: Heavenly Tribulation!
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck out from the thunderclouds, and the two people below struggled and howled in agony before finally turning to ashes in the lightning.
After hearing Yunxiao Sect's sincere explanation and apology, the other sects stopped causing trouble.
The Cloud Soaring Sect is one of the five major sects, and it has given a very sincere apology in this regard. These smaller sects cannot afford to take advantage of this.
Otherwise, the Cloud Soaring Sect would only be responsible to the five major sects and ignore the demands of these smaller sects. There would be nothing these smaller sects could do, since even if they were all together, they couldn't shake the power of the Cloud Soaring Sect.
So the so-called "woman of destiny" was executed so hastily, and Cheng Jiu only learned the names of the two people, Yao Muqing and Li Yunfei, now.
After the matter was over, the sect leader still had to stay behind to discuss and settle accounts with the Cloud Soaring Sect.
Such a big incident couldn't be resolved in just seven days. In the end, Qingxu and Qingyang Zunjun escorted the group back.
So many things have happened this time, and when we came out, the boat was full of people, full of anticipation and enthusiasm.
After a series of attacks, less than half of the people on board had survived.
Everyone has their own familiar senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters who have left.
At this moment, I couldn't feel any joy; all that remained was exhaustion and sadness.
Several cries came from somewhere on the boat, and gradually the cries spread throughout the entire boat.
Upon returning to the sect, elders and disciples were already waiting there. Seeing the somewhat disheveled and tearful disciple from the boat, they warmly welcomed him and offered comforting words of solace.
The disciples who felt the warmth of home cried even harder, and even the senior brothers and sisters who came to pick them up couldn't help but have red eyes.
Cheng Jiu and the other two had experienced a great deal and gained many insights during this sect competition. As soon as they returned to their courtyards, they began to cultivate in seclusion.
Guiyuan Sect also hung white banners everywhere. This time, both the inner and outer sects suffered heavy losses in the sect competition.
Especially those Foundation Establishment stage disciples who hadn't practiced body training were torn apart in that spatial vortex.
Only the two disciples who were rescued in time by Venerable Qingxu are still alive; no one else survived.
If these people had grown up, they would at least have become the backbone of the outer sect. To lose them like this is undeniably a devastating loss.
Besides the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, there was also Yue Feng, who was initially severely injured by a Mahayana stage demonic cultivator.
They performed exceptionally well in the secret realm, but suffered heavy casualties; of the twenty or thirty who went out, only five returned to Lefeng.
It can be said that when he saw these five people, even Peak Master Lefeng shed tears. He couldn't say anything but that they were truly remarkable.
This sect competition has become an undeniable wound for the sects.
After the sect leader returned, he held a unified funeral for all the disciples who had sacrificed their lives, and he also invited elders from the Tianji Sect at a high price to perform a ritual for them to pass on to the afterlife.
This matter has now come to an end.
