The Great Wild God - Chapter 268
Chapter 268 Back to Divine Night Sect
Returning to the Divine Night Sect from Meng Mountain was a straight line distance of nearly 20,000 li. However, the disciples of the Divine Night Sect had jade night boats to ride when traveling to and from Meng Mountain.
The Jade Night Floating Boat was a hundred zhang long and twenty zhang wide, and its body was enormous. It was one of the top flying magical artifacts in Cloud Continent. It had built-in flying restriction formations and was filled with cargo. It could fly more than five thousand kilometers day and night in the air, and it could last six days and six nights by absorbing enough spiritual energy at one time.
This time, there weren’t any merchandise to return to the Divine Night Sect, and there were only less than 200 disciples returning to the sect. Chen Xun and Jiang Bingyun arrived at the Divine Night Sect in three days on the Jade Night Floating Boat.
Lei Wanhe, Zong Ya, and the others guessed that Chen Xun would return on this jade night boat. They waited at the boat-binding platform early in the morning.
“Have you all passed the outer sect disciple examination?” Chen Xun was most concerned about this matter. Looking at Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu, and the others, there wasn’t any excitement on their faces. They walked down the Yu Xiao Floating Boat and asked about this matter with concern.
Although what Chang Zhen had learned in his chest did not need to be any weaker than the ancestor-level figures of the Divine Night Sect, Chang Zhen and Old Kui’s primordial spirit had weakened to such an extent that they could only rest in the depths of the spiritual veins of the Dragon Creek Lake to deal with any crisis that might erupt at any time. They simply did not have the energy to guide their cultivation.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xun not only hoped that he could stay in the Divine Night Sect to cultivate, he also hoped that Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu, and the others would be able to cultivate in the Divine Night Sect.
Even if Beishan completely inherited the inheritance of the Void Origin Secret, it would still be impossible for him to compare to the accumulated heritage of the Divine Night Sect over tens of thousands of years in just a short period of one to two hundred years.
As for Chang Zhen and Old Kui, their lifespans were about to expire. Perhaps in fifty to sixty years, Chen Xun would have to support the Northern Mountain by himself. At that time, he would still have to hug the big tree of the Divine Night Sect.
“With Senior Sister Chang Xi, we have all passed the outer sect disciple examination. We need to cultivate in Myriad Pine Valley for three years before we can choose a cave.” Zuoqiu told Chen Xun about their situation in the Divine Night Sect during the past two months.
With Chang Xi’s recommendation, Zuoqiu, Zongya, Gu Jianfeng, and Qing Xuan were naturally qualified to be considered by outer sect disciples.
As for the four of them, Zuoqiu’s aptitude and cultivation were the worst. However, refining a Mysterious Turtle Origin Pill within three months would also allow them to advance to the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm. It would naturally be easy for them to refine five spirit veins and pass the outer sect disciple examination.
However, none of them were able to directly enter Cuiwei Lake to cultivate like Chen Xun.
According to the rules, all outer sect disciples had to cultivate for three years in Myriad Pine Valley, but had Chang Xi ever obeyed these rules before?
This time, it could only mean that after Chang Xi returned to the Divine Night Sect, she was also severely reprimanded, and she could no longer act as she used to.
Zuoqiu and the others also knew that Daoist Gu Yang had issued a talisman to summon Chen Xun back to the mountain. They were worried that there would be something wrong with Chen Xun’s return this time, but they were unable to stop him, so their hearts were filled with worry.
Chen Xun laughed heartily and said, “I thought something had happened. All of you are crying and mourning.”
Lei Wanhe said, “Gu Yangfeng said that he wanted you to come back, so he immediately rushed over.”
“It’s always okay to take a breath, right?” Chen Xun nodded, indicating that he knew about this matter. He then asked Zuoqiu, “Apart from your respective residences, do you have another place to stay in Wansong Valley?”
“We are all prepared. We are also prepared to wait for Cang Lan’s situation to stabilize a bit and have Zhao Tu and the others come over.” Zuoqiu said.
All disciples of the Divine Night Sect were forbidden to bring servants with them to cultivate, but there was always room for change.
Apart from the outer sect disciples who had just entered the sect, some disciples from aristocratic clans, marquises, and even noble relatives of the imperial clan would not be able to directly go to the various caves to serve them personally, but they would all have a place to stay in the valley.
For example, the Marquis of Yuanwu Manor had set up a Yuanwu Hall in Wansong Valley, specializing in trading magical artifacts with Divine Night Sect disciples.
This time, Zuo Qingmu specially chose Zuoqiu to join the Divine Night Sect with Chen Xun and the others. More importantly, it was based on Zuoqiu’s ability to manage complicated affairs.
Chang Xi was promoted to a direct disciple, and she had managed Cuiwei Lake for a short period of time. However, apart from Chang Xi, which direct disciple, Xia Xiangyi or Zhao Chengen, did not have an arm-like force in the Divine Night Sect that was not weak?
There were more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples of the Divine Night Sect, and how many of them weren’t related to direct disciples, Zhu Feng, and Zhu Dean’s elders?
There were even a few people who directly asked some servants and families with decent qualifications to join the outer sect disciples so that they could call them at any time.
If it weren’t for this, if it weren’t for hundreds of years of hard work, why would Gu Wentian directly set up a sect in Mengshan after leaving the Divine Night Sect and directly gather nearly a thousand disciples?
A direct disciple was qualified to open a cave. The Godly Night Mountain stretched for more than 3,000 kilometers, and there were a total of more than 200 caves, which was equivalent to more than 200 small and medium-sized sects.
The two hundred plus caves had countless connections with the various sects and clans in the Northwest Region of Yunzhou. The Divine Night Sect had secured the position of the head of the sects in the Northwest Region through this connection, and it truly held the vast territory of the Northwest Region that stretched for 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
The Mengshan Sect’s Gu Clan, the Hundred Lions Ridge’s Zhou Clan, and the others had left the Divine Night Sect and set up sects outside. In the past four thousand years, there were more than two hundred of them.
They were in the same breath as the Divine Night Sect. If anything happened to the external forces of the Divine Night Sect, they would similarly receive orders from the Divine Night Sect’s Sect Leader, Fu Zhao.
Although the Jiang Clan was a member of the Xi Martial Emperor Clan, and although there were more than 30 Marquises in the Northwest Region, and although there were no lack of heroes like Yuan Marquis Jiang Yu, they were still unable to shake the status of the Divine Night Sect.
However, there were places where there were people, and there was no exception within the Divine Night Sect.
In terms of attitude towards Marquis Yuan Wu’s mansion, not to mention the Divine Night Sect, there were serious differences even in Gu Yangfeng.
Obviously, Sect Master Gu Yang of Gu Yangfeng was inclined to have good relations with the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, which was the most disadvantageous point for Chen Xun.
Although Chen Xun wasn’t worried that Xia Xiangyi would be accused of colluding with magical creatures and fall on him, it wasn’t easy to think that Daoist Gu Yang had prejudices against him and that Xia Xiangyi was provoking him behind his back.
Chen Xun couldn’t see through how high Daoist Gu Yang’s cultivation was, but it wasn’t any lower than Ji Lie’s. Once Daoist Gu Yang had the heart to dig out the secrets of the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave, the lies he had carefully fabricated wouldn’t be able to hide from Daoist Gu Yang’s pair of eyes that were like divine lightning.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun couldn’t help but sigh lightly. He had Jiang Bingyun follow Zuoqiu and the others to Wansong Valley to settle down first, and he followed Lei Wanhe back to Gu Yangfeng to meet Adept Gu Yang.
Fortune is not disaster, but disaster cannot be avoided.
At this time, a flowing shadow swept over from the western horizon. Before they could reach the ship-binding platform, someone shouted, “Has Chen Xun returned to the Divine Night Sect?”
As the clouds dispersed, Xia Xiangyi revealed her face in the clouds. Two gazes of divine light swept up and down the boat before finally landing on Chen Xun and the others’ faces.
Seeing that Xia Xiangyi was staring at him so closely, Chen Xun didn’t even allow him to breathe a sigh of relief. He had an ominous feeling in his heart and frowned slightly. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Chen Xun is here, don’t trouble Senior Brother Xia to hang up …”
“It’s good that you’re back as scheduled. Master has called you to ask questions. Quickly follow me to Gu Yangfeng.” Xia Xiangyi stood in the air, impatiently stopping to say a few words, urging Chen Xun to follow him quickly.
“Chen Xun is not a direct disciple, but he doesn’t dare to fly freely within the sect. Senior Brother Xia will leave first, and Chen Xun will arrive shortly.” Chen Xun said.
Xia Xiangyi frowned. She didn’t expect Chen Xun to dare to play with him even though he had already arrived at the Divine Night Sect. But seriously speaking, Chen Xun wasn’t that bad. Inner and outer disciples were indeed forbidden to fly freely in the air within the sect.
Although such a ban could be imposed from power, as Gu Yangfeng’s chief direct descendant, it was still too late to urge his disciples to obey the laws of the sect, so how could he openly ask Chen Xun to violate the ban?
However, he didn’t urge Chen Xun to leave quickly. There were hundreds of kilometers of mountain paths from the Boat Binding Platform to Gu Yang Peak. If this brat really had the guts to ask his master to wait for him in the sky of Gu Yang Peak for a day, then who the f*ck was to blame?
Lei Wanhe didn’t expect Chen Xun to lose his temper. He dared not delay his arrival at Gu Yangfeng at this critical moment. Seeing that Xia Xiangyi’s gaze was as fierce as lightning, he knew that Xia Xiangyi was truly angry. He was afraid that the stalemate would harm Chen Xun. He hurriedly said, “I’ll borrow a flying ship from Senior Brother Guo and we’ll hurry back to Gu Yangfeng.”
“What else do you have to say?” Xia Xiangyi stared fiercely at Chen Xun, thinking that if this brat played tricks again, he would take him down.
“I have something urgent to report to the Sect Master immediately. Senior Brother Xia, can you go back and tell the Sect Master that Chen Xun will return to Gu Yangfeng to receive punishment later?” Chen Xun raised his voice and said. Originally, he thought that he should have a chance to defend himself in front of Daoist Gu Yang, but since Xia Xiangyi had pressed forward so tightly and Chang Xi hadn’t even appeared, he had an ominous feeling in his heart. He was afraid that Daoist Gu Yang might not have a simple prejudice against him.
Xia Xiangyi was so angry that her nose emitted smoke. Chen Xun had been dragging his feet in Mengshan for more than two months. When he came back, he said that he had urgent matters to report to the Sect Master. Wasn’t this just a joke?
“Chen Xun, don’t go too far!” Xia Xiangyi harshly shouted, “Why would you dare to play tricks with me when you’re already in the Divine Night Sect? Do you really think I don’t dare to take you down?”
The disciples of the Divine Night Sect knew that something was wrong. They were stunned. They didn’t even know what had happened. They actually called Gu Yangfeng’s direct successor, Xia Xiangyi, furious at a mere inner sect disciple, to the point that he was about to attack.
“I do have an urgent matter to report to the Sect Leader immediately. If the time is delayed, Senior Brother Xia, can you shoulder all the responsibilities?” Chen Xun asked with a gloomy face.
‘”Haha,” Jiang Ke couldn’t help but jump out to stir up the flames and laugh, “I’ve really seen it today. A small inner sect disciple, Xia Xiangyi, can’t even command it with his Master’s Destiny Talisman Edict. Our Divine Night Sect might as well disperse.”
The Yuan Martial Hall had any small sect goods that were shipped by the Jade Night Flying Boat. Jiang Ke, as a direct descendant of the Yuan Marquis Manor, happened to be idle today. He had rushed to the Governor to see if there were any missing goods. If he bumped into such a scene, he naturally wouldn’t mind watching the liveliness.
“Lei Wanhe!” Xia Xiangyi was so angry that one Buddha ascended to the heavens and two Buddhas annihilated the world. She thought to herself that if she didn’t teach Chen Xun a lesson today, the Divine Night Sect would treat him as a joke in the future. It was inconvenient for him to directly make a move. That would be too embarrassing. She directly ordered Lei Wanhe, “Take Chen Xun down and see if he has the courage to resist!”
Lei Wanhe was stunned. If he didn’t listen to Xia Xiangyi’s orders, he would be dragged into this shitty matter. If he listened to Xia Xiangyi’s orders, he would be afraid of peeling off Chang Xi’s skin after he returned. With a sad face, he almost begged Chen Xun, “Junior Brother Chen, why are you so stubborn with Senior Brother Xia?”
Jiang Ke stood with his hands crossed over his chest and stared coldly at Chen Xun. He was so happy that he almost jumped over and pointed at Chen Xun’s nose and shouted, “You’re really awesome!”
“Chen Xun, you’ve done meritorious deeds in killing the Snake Demon. Why did you take so long to return to the mountain gate? What’s the point of meeting me as soon as you return?”
At this moment, a melodious and quiet voice came from the depths of the sky like the sound of a profound bell …
Xia Xiangyi was shocked. Turning around, she saw the clouds in the direction of Purple Night Peak open like a door, revealing a corner of the towering and majestic Crimson Sun Palace. Wasn’t this the voice of the Sect Leader?
