My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 91
Chapter 91: Paper Army Strikes!
Today, the wind in Tushita Palace suddenly became noisy…
Why is there someone crying beside my ear?
Under a tree in the corner of the Tushita Palace’s backyard, a young man in a blue robe frowned slightly.
As he was meditating, he looked at the blurry image that appeared in his head.
A short Daoist, who was five to six feet tall, leaned over and sobbed. Beside him, there was a pretty good-looking female disciple, who also had a pitiful look on her face.
The young man smiled bitterly and sighed.
Teacher, you’re doing this again.
Since you are unwilling to go out, I want to cultivate in peace.
They are probably worshiping your portrait, Teacher. I don’t have any portraits or sculptures that have been passed down to the primordial times.
Teacher, your realm is really too mysterious and amazing. You caused your karma to slip onto ‘slipped’ karma onto your disciple…
“However, to be able to alarm a teacher who doesn’t like to ask about anything, you guys are really impressive…”
The young Daoist chuckled and slowly stood up.
He pinched his fingers to calculate and deduce. As he followed the guidance that his teacher had given him, he understood something.
He said softly, “So there are external enemies looking for trouble with the Immortal Du Sect. The Immortal Du Sect is in trouble for no reason…”
I, Ren School, did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but someone wanted to use my sect to sow discord among the three sects?
Tsk, I have to manage this.
“The last time I was in Elder Moon Hall, I broke the marriage clay figurine of a kid from the Immortal Du Sect. This time, I went to help the Immortal Du Sect. I can then be considered to have severed this karma.”
The young man did not finish his sentence. He took a casual step forward and appeared outside the Tushita Palace.
After taking a few more steps, he arrived at the Western Heavenly Gate and floated out. The Heavenly troops and Heavenly Generals guarding the gate did not notice him at all…
After a short while, the young man had already left the Nine-layered Celestial Palace. He was looking down at the magnificent primordial world from the sky.
“The Immortal Du Sect is the Dao sect that Daoist Du’e had passed down. I can bring Daoist Du’e along and ask him to take action. As such, the karma is much smaller. There is another troublesome matter…”
“Fellow Daoist Du’e is only my teacher’s in-name disciple. I’ve heard my teacher talk about Dao several times. Before I enter the sect, I should call him Senior.”
“However, I am the only personal disciple of Teacher. He is just a disciple in name, so he has to call me Senior… How should I address him?”
The young Daoist priest was caught in a dilemma. His figure drifted into the distance, towards the intersection between the Aparagodānīya Continent, the North Continent, and the Kunlun Immortal Mountain of the Middle Continent.
After flying for a while, the Kunlun Mountain was already in sight. Great Taoist Master Xuandu was very reliable. Very quickly, he realized another problem.
“Senior Brother Du’e, which cave did you cultivate in at the Kunlun Mountain?”
The Great Grandmaster Xuandu calculated with his fingers and soon nodded.
“Fortunately, the Immortal Du Sect has a large supply of Qi that can last us a long time. It will not be destroyed anytime soon. The disaster this time seems to have been decided. There’s no need to rush over… Let’s look for Senior Du’e first. Otherwise, if we don’t handle this properly, Teacher will lock us up for numerous millennia…”
With a sigh, the young Dao Master disappeared from Kunlun Mountain. He circled around the Jade Void Palace and searched for the Ancestral Master who had taken charge of the Immortal Du Sect halfway through.
…
A moment ago, the Immortal Du Sect.
It was useful!
The Saint reacted, ahem, Saint’s portrait reacted!
There was indeed something wrong with the lines!
Jiu Wu was excited while Youqin Xuanya heaved a sigh of relief…
Li Changshou was not happy. Instead, he reflected on himself.
Previously, I’ve been a little inconsiderate. I asked Elder Wan Linyun to give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu the brocade pouch and put up a pitiful act. However, I overlooked too many details, as well as the main objective of Ren School.
Just now, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had cried repeatedly. Regardless of whether the Saint could sense it, it would be difficult for him to bother taking a look at them…
After careful analysis, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s explanation seemed to mean that he wanted the Sect Leader of Ren School to help him before the sect was destroyed.
That meant that the Immortal Du Sect was accumulating karma for the sect master of Ren School.
Li Changshou snapped out of his daze and found a second candidate to cry and solve the situation. He made Youqin Xuanya pay attention to the details of her emotions and the title of Saint.
First, she explained that the Immortal Du Sect belonged to the Perfected Immortal Du’e’s lineage. Then, she read the Inaction Sutra and asked the Saint to examine and verify that they were indeed taught by the Ren School.
As a result, it sounded like an external enemy was invading the Immortal Du Sect and increasing karma for the sect master of Ren School.
The portrait of the Saint immediately responded!
However, the Dao runes on the portrait of the Saint were quickly retracted. That indicated that the old Saint or some expert from the Ren School already knew about the matter.
It was still unknown when he would intervene.
Li Changshou quickly analyzed in his head.
The chances of an expert from Ren School appearing next should be as high as 70%. However, it’s hard to say if they can arrive in time to provide support.
I can’t place my hopes on external aid.
I have already done what I could do in the aspect of summoning someone powerful. There is no need for me to spend more effort.
To be safe, I have to persevere with my plans.
If the building really collapses, I should run… when I’m supposed to.
Li Changshou then sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya. “This is done. Junior, please wait a while. Don’t mention this voice transmission message to anyone else.”
Youqin Xuanya nodded lightly. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses had already left the place. He focused on controlling the paper effigy…
Previously, there had been some delay in the Hundred Mortal Hall, and the battles in the southwest and north were already in full swing.
The two sides fought all the way from the outer area of the mountain gate to the top of a few peaks.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect retreated again and again. More than half of the Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals were injured. Dozens of Perfected Immortals had died. Fortunately, only two of the Heaven Immortals had died.
On the other hand, although the mosquito puppets were becoming more and more ferocious, they had lost quite a bit of their battle strength.
There were already three Heaven Immortal realm demons that were buried in Elder Wan Linyun’s hands!
In terms of battle results, the runner-up who was catching up closely behind would be Exalted Wang Qing. He had killed a human Heaven Immortal and a Heaven-Immortal-level Great Demon, which caused him to be ranked second.
There were also a few Heaven Immortal elders who had their own gains…
However, the overall situation was still not optimistic.
At that moment, Elder Wan Linyun felt as if he had returned to the battle that took place ten thousand years ago. His heroic spirit surged, and he had been fighting alone all along!
However, that old man was secretly depressed…
Previously, under Li Changshou’s guidance, he killed many great demons but it felt effortless to him. He had at most only used a few more poisonous pills…
However, during the head-on battle, his poisonous pills, poison mystical abilities and poison techniques seemed to have been greatly weakened…
It felt rather strenuous and difficult to achieve.
It did not feel as good as it did when he was working together with Li Changshou to plot against the enemy.
Indeed, Changshou not only has a unique understanding of poison. His future potential is also immeasurable.
While Elder Wan was thinking about it, his attacks became more vicious.
He had already made up his mind. If he could protect the Immortal Sect in this battle, he would teach Li Changshou the Poison Sutra that he was most proud of. That would be a reward for the secret warning that he had given Li Changshou.
Suddenly, Elder Wan Linyun felt a gentle breeze brushing past his ear, and he heard a familiar voice…
“Elder Wan, it’s me, Changshou.”
“Elder, please don’t reminisce about the battle. Divert your attention and observe the situation in the south. It’s best if both sides retreat to the Heaven-Breaking Peak together. Later on, we’ll use their array formation to defend ourselves. That’s the proper way to reduce the casualties in the sect.”
Elder Wan Linyun nodded secretly. He observed the situation around him and realized that he had already gone in alone.
It was not because Elder Wan was too fierce, but because the immortals from the same sect… retreated too quickly.
Li Changshou transmitted his voice again.
“Elder, you don’t have to worry about me. I will enter the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array with the disciples of the various peaks later. Elder, please take care of yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Elder Wan Linyun squinted slightly. A cold smile appeared on his lips.
The few demons that were resisting Elder Wan Linyun panicked and hurriedly retreated.
However, Elder Wan Linyun retreated at the same time. He was slightly closer to the immortals on his side.
He was just happy purely because Li Changshou was safe and sound…
After settling the small detail, Li Changshou continued to observe the situation in the dark.
At that moment, there were only a few peaks left on Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured a few injured Perfected Immortal realm elders who were in charge of the external affairs of the sect. They were rushing towards the Hundred Mortal Hall.
It seemed that they wanted the disciples to leave first…
Next, the Heaven-Breaking Peak would become the venue for the battle.
Although there was still a protective array, most of the disciples who had yet to become immortals had low cultivation levels. If they were not careful, the Hundred Mortal Hall might just experience a bloodbath caused by some mystical abilities or Dharma treasures.
One of the Grand Elders ordered the disciples with insufficient cultivation levels to avoid trouble temporarily. The injured Perfected Immortal elders would be in charge of protecting the disciples later.
Li Changshou pondered for a moment. He gave a few instructions to Ling’e, who had been hiding near the underground teleportation array for quite some time. He told her to sneak into the crowd of disciples later and leave with his main body and their master.
Ling’e immediately nodded her head to show that she had understood. She continued to hide in a crevice, quietly waiting for a large group of disciples from the Immortal Du Sect to appear.
As for Li Changshou’s main body…
Two months ago, he had already found a hiding place and cleverly hid within it. He had never taken the initiative to move around.
A moment later, a hole appeared in the corner of Hundred Mortal Hall.
Under the constant urging of the elders, Youqin Xuanya and Jiu Wu, the young disciples rushed into the hole that was driven vertically into the ground and flew underground.
When the batches of disciples arrived at the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, Ling’e found a chance and walked out from the corner with Li Changshou to join the disciples.
The process was quite perfect. His junior had made another contribution.
When Youqin Xuanya arrived and saw Li Changshou and Ling’e, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She held onto the jade talisman and activated the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array.
At the bottom of the underground cave, a thousand-foot-wide array disc with complex patterns appeared. There seemed to be sounds of dragon roars coming from beneath the array disc…
An elder from the Hundred Mortal Hall yelled, “Quick, enter the array fifty at a time!”
“Xuan Ya, you and Elder Ge will lead the way together! The teleportation array is located in a valley in the east!”
Youqin Xuanya immediately executed the order. She led the disciples who were closest to the array formation and rushed into the array disc. Her figure sank slightly and disappeared in a flash!
The main meridians of the earth were equivalent to the “tiny vessels” of God Pangu.
The Earth Meridian Teleportation Array could allow the Qi Refinement cultivators to follow the earth meridians and move in two different directions.
The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect did not panic. Some of them even took the initiative to stay at the back and let the disciples who were slightly weaker to move forward…
The entire retreat was orderly. Ling’e was also taken care of by many seniors from other peaks. The third batch was teleported away.
Li Changshou had allowed a wisp of his immortal senses to accompany his junior and hence he had nothing else to worry about.
Most of the younger generation had retreated. The Immortal Du Sect cultivators had also retreated to the vicinity of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
At that moment, the battle line was pulled apart. The main peak’s array had yet to be activated.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect looked dejected. The mosquito puppets had already focused their attention on the few Heaven Immortals from the Immortal Du Sect!
Li Changshou had been waiting for that moment!
“Paper effigies, attack!”
Near the Heaven-Splitting Peak, four paper effigies appeared quietly in the two valleys between the mountains. Half of their bodies emerged from the soil.
From their sleeves and clothes, white paper dolls quickly jumped out. Then, the four paper effigies quickly sank into the ground.
There were twenty paper dolls on each side of the river valley in the north and south. They quickly scattered around the four paper effigies…
That number was already the limit that Li Changshou can relay his instructions through to control the paper effigies. Besides, it could not last long…
The forty paper dolls turned into forty “immortal troops” in light blue armor.
They all had different appearances and were not strong. Their defense was Perfected. Each of them carried a simple Dharma artifact on their back, which was a longbow, and they also held onto special arrows.
Those longbows only had some basic restrictions. They were not considered treasures.
They quickly rushed towards the forest in front of them. When they arrived at the hidden locations that Li Changshou had previously found, they pulled the string on the longbow to the maximum.
On the arrow, complicated patterns lit up!
“Silent Heavenly Poisonous Arrow”: Consumption-type self-refining Dharma artifact that can be cast in large-scale, provides high accuracy, and launches large amounts of poisonous powder in an instant!
When killing enemies, one does not need to use mystical abilities or Dharma treasures. Instead, one should maximize one’s advantage.
A toned and muscular body cannot rival a brick.
Release!
In a dark and narrow corner, Li Changshou snapped his fingers, and the bowstrings of the forty longbows vibrated!
One by one, the dharma artifacts silently launched arrows at a rapid speed. From behind the enemy troops, they rushed towards the place where the mosquitoes puppets were gathering in…
