Chapter 1201: One Hundred Zhu Xuan Patriarchs

Kawajo Mountain, the main hall on the top of the mountain.

Zhu Xuan Sect's head Wu Qiwen brought two True Infant Elders with him, all dressed in brocade and jade belts, standing in their proper attire. Half an hour ago, Elder Luo Chengyi, who was in Shaoyun Country, sent back a message saying that an externalized cultivator was coming to visit. Wu Qiwen did not dare to treat him with disrespect, so he hurriedly reported to the Grand Master, and only after getting his consent did he dare to prepare to welcome him.

However, he didn't know what the man's intention was, whether he was an enemy or a friend. If he was someone with bad intentions, his Zhu Xuan faction would be unable to cope with him, so he could only shamelessly meet him first.

Thinking of this, Wu Qiwen and the other two showed different expressions on their faces. The old man on the right frowned and thought deeply. The woman on the left pinched the edge of her sleeves tightly, with joy mixed with nervousness, which was quite complicated. She seemed to think that the arrival of that person would be a turning point for Zhu Xuan Sect, but she was afraid that she was thinking too much. As for Wu Qiwen himself, he could not hide his worries, and his heart was always beating.

Not long after, a yellow-robed disciple who looked like a teenager ran into the hall and said happily, "Master, two elders, Elder Luo is back!"

After saying that, he stepped aside, and then saw Luo Chengyi leading two young women in. He first stepped forward and bowed, then took a small step back, asked the woman behind him to reveal her true face, and introduced: "Master, this is the Senior Zhao and his disciple Qin Daoyou I told you about."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiwen and the other two immediately stepped forward and bowed to the woman in front of them.

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, nodded and told him not to be polite. As his eyes swept across the hall, he had already seen the appearance of several people in the hall clearly. The two elders on the left and right were about the same generation as Luo Chengyi, and it didn't matter who was stronger or weaker. However, the leader of the Zhuxuan Sect in front of him was slightly inferior in cultivation. He did not have the firmness and decisiveness of a sect leader, but seemed a little hesitant.

However, on the way here, I heard from Luo Chengyi that the current leader of the Zhu Xuan sect is actually the son of the supreme ancestor. Now that the ancestor is still alive, his status in the sect is naturally evident.

This kind of chat is not very important. Zhao Yu came to Chuanzhang Mountain today not to trace her roots in the Zhuxuan Sect. Although she saw that Wu Qiwen and others were quite curious about her origins, Zhao Yu did not say much to them. She only went to pay a visit to the supreme ancestor behind this sect.

However, no one was allowed to trespass in the place where the master practiced meditation, so even Qin Yuke was not allowed to enter without his consent. Zhao Yu did not mind this and just told her to go down and wait. Then she followed Wu Qiwen and flew down the mountain, straight to a cave deep in the ground at the bottom of the mountain. She saw a water curtain hanging down, with strange lights flashing inside and green smoke hanging up from time to time.

Wu Qiwen stopped moving forward and bowed slightly to report to the people inside: "Grandmaster, Master Zhao from the Xiyue Sect is here."

Since Zhao Yu never revealed his own master's background, Wu Qiwen had to call it the Xiyue Sect that Luo Chengyi had inquired about, which was not considered rude.

After a while, the strange light in the water curtain dimmed, leaving only the sound of dripping water, echoing in the quiet and peaceful cave. At this time, a soft female voice seemed to come from a distance, and soon it was close to Zhao Yu's ears: "I am inconvenient to greet you, please come in and have a chat."

This confirmed Zhao Yu's previous guess. The current situation of the Grand Master of Zhu Xuan Sect was probably not very good. She hummed lightly, nodded slightly to Wu Qiwen, and then stepped forward and walked into it openly. Just after passing the water curtain, the scenery in the cave suddenly became clear. There was sparkling water in front of her. It turned out to be a shallow pool with a clear bottom. Stalagmites of different heights rose from the pool. The stones were uneven, and the surface was engraved with array patterns. Although Zhao Yu could not identify it, he could guess the purpose of this array from the sudden strong spiritual energy in the cave.

Chuanzhang Mountain is the gathering place of nearby earth veins. In terms of the amount of spiritual energy, it is only inferior to Xuan State where Zhao Yu had visited. However, even so, it is far from enough to meet the needs of a sect with externalized cultivators and several True Infants. Even though the founder of the Zhuxuan School spent a lot of effort to open up this cave, the spiritual energy generated by these earth veins will always be exhausted one day.

Zhao Yu followed the sound of stepping on water and walked until the surrounding energy gradually became colder, then he saw a thin figure sitting cross-legged on a water stone.

She immediately knew that this person was the founder of Zhuxuan Sect, Wu Tanqing, so she raised her hand and bowed, performing a simple ceremony and saying, "I am Zhao Yu. I came here in a hurry today and I am sorry to disturb Taoist Wu's meditation."

  Luo Chengyi once said that although the Zhu Xuan sect had only moved here three hundred years ago, it had been passed down for five thousand years in Beiyun Continent. Based on this, the age of the sect's founder must be at least close to or even more than seven thousand years old. Most of the cultivators in the world become more skilled as they age, so how could a simple person who can be the founder of a sect be?

Zhao Yu raised his eyes and looked quietly at the delicate and graceful woman in front of him.

Wu Tanqing had thin eyebrows and long eyes, and his face was dull. Although he looked a little pale and sickly, he did not look weak. He calmly accepted Zhao Yu's scrutiny, chuckled and said, "I am just waiting to die here with this broken body. Why would you bother me?"

Zhao Yu's eyes flashed, and he thought that although he had thought that the other party was injured, he did not expect that the injury was so serious that her dantian was damaged. A lot of spiritual energy entered her body, but it would dissipate again after a moment, and not much could be retained. Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Wu Tanqing to survive.

She shook her head and sighed, thinking that there were still some rare things in the world that could repair Dantian, but things that gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could only exist in Beiyunzhou. In Wu Tanqing's current situation, it was difficult to protect herself, and wanting to return to Beiyunzhou was like ascending to heaven.

"I know what you are thinking, but even if I can find such a rare item, it would be a waste to use it on me." Wu Tanqing shook his head and said calmly, "I am now over 7,600 years old. Even if I fill up my Dantian, I can only live for another 100 years at most. But once I am gone, the remaining people will have no way to continue, and the Zhuxuan Sect will still fall. It is better to let them stay here and live out their lives without disasters."

After listening to this, Zhao Yu closed his eyes and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Wu is a very open-minded person."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyelids, looked Wu Tanqing in the eye and said, "Before I came here, I thought your sect could still fight to the death. If so, I would have asked you to lend a helping hand. It's a pity that Taoist Wu no longer has this intention, so I can't help you."

Wu Tanqing laughed loudly and said, "No merit, no reward. With the current situation of my Zhuxuan Sect, I'm afraid I don't have anything to show for it, let alone asking fellow Taoists for help."
