Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 718: Cultivation Ghost Mother
No one knew about the strange phenomenon in the southern forest where Song Xia and his companions were. At the same time, a horrifying incident occurred on Qianli Island in the east of the continent. So the monks went to Shenyuan Sect and asked the saviors Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui to come forward to save them.

"What happened that made them come all the way to Shenyuan Sect?"

Master Changqing, Fairy Sumu, Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui gathered together. It could be seen that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui's breathing was unstable, but they both had happy expressions on their faces.

"It's a good opportunity to stabilize your cultivation in the Jindan stage."

Shi Tianning frowned: "Father, what happened?"

Fairy Sumu also looked over with a puzzled look. She had been in Xuanguang Sect for some time and was suddenly called over by Master Qing.

Master Qing had a serious expression on his face. “According to the monks from Qianli Island who came to ask for help, many monsters have appeared in the waters near Qianli Island recently. These monsters have no mind and will bite monks when they see them. Once bitten, even if you get rid of them, the wound will not heal and you can only watch it fester.”

"So serious? I've never heard of such a monster before. Are they exaggerating?"

"They shouldn't dare. The fact that they can ask our Shenyuan Sect for help shows that the power of Qianli Island is really out of control."

"Do we really want to let Tian Ning and Tian Kui go? Since there is no cure, what if those monsters hurt them?"

"Now the outside world believes that Tian Ning and Tian Kui are the saviors. If they don't go, what will happen if they arouse suspicion? In this case, it is better to let them go on this trip, and our Shenyuan Sect and Tianxuan Sect can send more people to help them. If they succeed in solving this matter, it will be a good opportunity for them to become famous."

Shi Tiankui stepped forward and said, "Mother, what father said makes sense, and my brother and I are already in the Golden Core Stage, so it's time for us to go out and gain experience. Since the Nine Heavens Palace has calculated that my brother and I are saviors, then we will definitely be fine."

Fairy Sumu frowned. Deep down, she still hoped that they could practice in the sect for a few more years, but there seemed to be no other way now.

"I'll go with you."

Master Qing said with relief: "I asked you to come back for this purpose. Father is in seclusion, and now most of the sect's affairs have been handed over to me. I can't leave for the time being."

Fairy Su Mu snorted coldly: "You took the initiative to take on all the things, didn't you? Master Changqing and Master Liuchuan disappeared from Shenyuan Sect. Was it you who did it?"

Master Qing suppressed his anger: "How many times do I have to explain to you before you can believe that this has nothing to do with me? I also want to know how Master Liuchuan disappeared."

"He is a person in the Qi Refining Stage, and you tell me that he managed to evade the search of the Shenyuan Sect by himself? Master Qing, do you think this is possible?"

"Then tell me why I want to protect him? I can even sacrifice Master Shuangzhi without hesitation, so why should I be reluctant to sacrifice Master Liuchuan?"

"After all, he is your biological son. Who knows if you have any sympathy for him?"

"Mother..." Shi Tianning frowned and interrupted them, not wanting to see them quarreling over this matter. "So what if Shi Liuchuan escaped? He is a cultivator with no background and no talent. If he leaves Shenyuan Sect, not only will he not have any training materials, but even his life safety cannot be guaranteed. He will never be a threat to us in his lifetime. Why do you have to quarrel over this matter again and again?"

Seeing her son coming out to persuade her, Fairy Sumu could not argue anymore. She was just really disgusted by what happened back then. Regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or not, it was still the case that Master Qing married Song Xia first.

She had always hated the reason why Master Qing made long-term plans. If it weren't for the daughter born by Song Xia that helped Tian Kui, she would have severed ties with Master Qing, a double-faced person. "Master Qing, in addition to Tian Ning, Tian Kui and I going to Qianli Island, Shenyuan Sect must send at least three elders to accompany us."

Although Master Qing was reluctant, he knew that his son and daughter were his most hoped-for children, and he did not want any accidents to happen in this mission, so he nodded in agreement and sent more than a dozen Jindan-stage disciples.

The elders of Shenyuan Sect are all at the Nascent Soul stage or above. Among the three sent this time, there is also a great man in the Fusion stage. This shows that Shenyuan Sect is capable of such a thing. For other small sects, a Jindan stage cultivator can establish a sect.

But now that the Heavenly Dao has been destroyed, resources for cultivation are becoming increasingly scarce, and there are more and more crises to be faced. Instead of working as managers in small sects, cultivators might as well come to the Shenyuan Sect to work as menial disciples. As a result, large sects like the Shenyuan Sect and the Xuanguang Sect have become increasingly powerful, resulting in small sects disappearing from this world every day.

It is not a good thing for two sects to dominate the market. Some small sects were once glorious in the past, but as the world deteriorated, the number of disciples they could recruit became fewer and fewer, and their cultivation became lower and lower, which led to the gradual loss of those classics.

Why were there so many powerful people in ancient times, but now even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are very rare? This is closely related to this evolution.

Soon, the news that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui went to save Qianli Island from crisis at the request of the cultivators from Qianli Island spread throughout most of the cultivation world. The disciples of Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect were extremely proud, especially the dozen or so Jindan-stage disciples who were chosen to go with them, as if this was the supreme honor bestowed by the sect.

All this had nothing to do with Song Xia and his companions who were isolated from the world. After being favored by heaven for several months, they finally faced their first crisis under this strange phenomenon.

In the illusion, Song Xia and Shi Liuchuan lost contact. Fortunately, she took the ghost tree possessed by Shi Shuangzhi with her as soon as possible.

Shi Shuangzhi asked worriedly, "Is my brother okay?"

"You have to believe in your brother. Your brother is no longer the same person he used to be."

"Ah."

"Go back and rest. Don't come out again. Your soul is not stable yet. Don't let these illusions affect your state of mind."

"But mother, are you really okay on your own?"

"It's nothing. Now you and your brother are by my side. Nothing can affect me anymore."

Having said that, after Shi Shuangzhi went back into the Yinhun Wood, Song Xia's expression suddenly changed.

What she saw before her was the scene of countless babies crying in the disaster. They were dressed in tattered clothes, with sunken abdomens and sallow faces. Many of them had lifeless and numb eyes. Others had blood all over their bodies. There was even a little girl, only one or two years old, crawling on the ground with her broken lower limbs. She was so small, but she seemed not to feel the pain.

Song Xia reached out to hug him, but found nothing.

Even though they were in so much pain, the disaster did not let them go. After the ground cracked, fire rained from the sky. The scorching flames burned the children, making them scream and roll on the ground.

Song Xia took a deep breath. She knew that this was something God had deliberately shown her. If she didn't intervene, all of this would happen.
