Douluo: I become stronger when I take in disciples!

Chapter 244 Something's Wrong

I was in mid-air.

Feng Yang also opened his divine sense.
The location of the Yuling Sect is a quiet mountain village.

Surrounded by green mountains and flowing streams, it is like a paradise on earth.

At the foot of the mountain, a rather sizable village came into view.

The town's streets and alleys are crisscrossed, bustling with people, and the population is quite considerable.

The entire mountain and village seemed to be shrouded in a faint light, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a thin magic array.

quickly!

They arrived at a distance of fifty kilometers from the Yuling Sect.

This is also the exit point of the village/town.

Mo Lingyun gracefully leaped down from the back of the Flower Spirit Eagle.

The moment it landed, its posture was elegant, like a feather falling.

After a flash of light, the Flower Spirit Eagle quickly transformed back into a small, exquisite bird, obediently following behind her, flapping its wings and flying.

Mo Lingyun looked up at the magic array in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly as she muttered to herself.

"This is the Divine Spirit Pavilion's magic array. It seems they've already been here. But this array is so thin, can it really hold back some ferocious soul beasts that are over 5000 years old?"

A 5000-year-old soul beast?
That's not something that can be instantly annihilated with a single divine thought.

However, it seems that this continent is facing some special circumstances.

Surprisingly, the soul beasts did not gather in large numbers in any particular forest or mountain range.

But did it directly flood into the human world?

Is this the norm all along, or a sudden change that has only recently occurred?

Mo Lingyun did not hesitate.

With light, graceful steps, she stepped out of the defensive array.

This magic array is specifically designed to defend against soul beasts.

It does not pose an obstacle to humans, so she can come and go freely.

However, something unexpected happened.

Her foot had just stepped out of the edge of the magic circle.

In an instant, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense and oppressive.

Not far in front of them, the plant vines and spirit beasts that had been winding and coiling or growing quietly suddenly seemed to be controlled by an evil force and instantly fell into a berserk state.

The once lush green leaves were now strangely tinged with a scarlet color, as if they had been soaked in blood, making them look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

These mindless soul beasts, without distinguishing right from wrong, bared their fangs and claws and launched a frenzied attack on Mo Lingyun.

The thick vines, like whistling whips, tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming directly at Mo Lingyun's vital points.

Faced with this sudden attack, Mo Lingyun remained calm, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Qiang!"

A crisp sword rang out.

The sword at her waist was already drawn, its blade gleaming coldly and radiating a chilling killing intent in the sunlight.

"昘欻欻!"

Mo Lingyun moved swiftly, her sword flashing.

Her swordsmanship was exquisite, light yet sharp, each swing carrying immense power, yet remaining agile. With a flick of her sword, the menacing plant-type spirit beasts were severed, their green sap mingling with crimson liquid, spilling onto the ground.

In just a few seconds, she had killed several menacing soul beasts.

That swordsmanship is pretty good.

Lightweight and sharp.

“These Biluo Trees, which used to be gentle and mild plant-type soul beasts, are now directly attacking humans!” Mo Lingyun was full of doubts.

I just felt that something was very wrong.

Previously, only some ferocious beasts among the soul beasts would actively attack humans.

She continued her journey into the wilderness.

The scenery is quite nice.

However, the various low-level soul beasts along the stream—giant frogs, sea caterpillars, and sea turtles—who usually only attack when attacked, have also begun to launch their own attacks.

"Flower spirit!"

The little bird following behind immediately transformed back into a roc.

Heading back towards the Spirit Control Sect
Arrived at the door.

After landing, Mo Lingyun ran inside.

"Grandpa." Her clear voice rang out in a courtyard.

In the courtyard, she saw her grandfather, Moshan, struggling to move an enormous jar that was taller than a person.

The jar looked incredibly heavy, and Mo Shan's face was covered in sweat, his steps faltering.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Let me do it." Seeing this, Mo Lingyun quickly stepped forward.

She reached out, firmly grasping the bottom of the jar with one hand and gripping the edge of the jar tightly with the other.

Immediately afterwards, she straightened her body and easily moved the heavy jar to the designated location less than ten meters away.

The jar fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Meanwhile, Mo Shan stood to the side, supporting his waist, slightly bent over, and gently patting his back.

"Oh dear, my old back! Looks like I can't deny getting old." His voice carried a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.

"Grandpa, you should rest well and stop struggling. I'll take care of these things from now on," Mo Lingyun said with concern and filial piety.

Mo Shan raised his head and looked at his granddaughter, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Hey, how can we always make you do hard labor when you're a girl? It's also the fault of our Yu Ling Sect; nowadays we can't even recruit a single disciple. Eighty years ago, our Yu Ling Sect was one of the top sects on the continent. Sigh."

His words were filled with nostalgia for the past glory and lament for the sect's current decline. His soft sigh, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time, echoed in the small courtyard.

“Grandpa, you’re always dwelling on the past and can’t move on.” Mo Lingyun shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness, but her eyes were full of understanding for her grandfather.

She understood that her grandfather had deep feelings for the past glory of the Imperial Spirit Sect and found it difficult to let go of them easily.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. How's the investigation going?" Mo Shan suppressed his emotions, his expression turned serious, and he stared intently at Mo Lingyun as he asked.

"The people from the Divine Spirit Pavilion should have been there, and they've set up protective arrays throughout the entire village," Mo Lingyun replied truthfully, a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Mo Shan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. "What's the use of this Divine Spirit Pavilion just for building that protective array? It will break in a few days, and then people will suffer again. With so many disciples, why can't we send a few down to protect the villages? When our Yu Ling Sect was at its peak, we didn't have to deal with them like this. A single spirit beast could help us guard the border."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his tone filled with dissatisfaction with the Divine Spirit Pavilion's actions and nostalgia for the former might of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

"This Zhutiao Town was originally the responsibility of our Yuling Sect. It's already quite good that the Divine Spirit Pavilion was willing to come and set up a protective array."

Mo Lingyun patiently explained, trying to calm her grandfather's anger.
