Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 875 The Undesirable Mindset of a Rogue Cultivator

Jiangnan, Gantang Road.

Just outside the ancestral land of the Li clan, one could see groups of Qi Refining disciples working overtime to set up formations and refine altars.

Before long, one after another, forbidden formations rose from the ground, surrounding a Dao altar. Centered on it, they encircled the entire Gantang Dao Sect like a spider web. On the altar, a young cultivator surrounded by supernatural light stood with his hands behind his back, staring coldly ahead.

A moment later, he suddenly sent out a divine thought:
"My two senior uncles, do you think the Li family of the Sea-Catching Clan will come out?"

Before the words were finished, a divine thought immediately transmitted: "Of course, they are ultimately rogue cultivators. Seeing us set up an array here, they will surely be afraid."

This was an incredibly bizarre scene.

In fact, even someone who is proficient in the Heavenly Eye Technique, has keen divine sense, and can predict heavenly secrets would not be able to see where the speaker is here.

Only a Grand True Person in the late Foundation Establishment stage could vaguely see a thin layer of smoke around the young cultivator, blocking all divine sense perception. Behind the smoke stood two cultivators with surging auras and higher status, each surrounded by the radiance of their innate divine abilities.

"Brother Dao, this magic weapon of yours is quite remarkable."

One of them, dressed in a black robe, looked at the smoke and sighed softly:

"With our cultivation levels, we should stand out like cranes among chickens here, making these rogue cultivators in Jiangnan tremble with fear. But now, no one notices anything amiss."

The other person shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"This treasure does not belong to me, but was lent to me by True Person Xiangye, and it is only available to those below the Great True Person level. The Great True Person is enough to see through this disguise."

"That's a rare treasure."

If Lü Yang were here, he would definitely recognize the two of them.

After all, one of them was Chen Taihe, the master of Butian Peak, and the other was Wu Cang. Both were old acquaintances of Lü Yang, and they had even shared a life-or-death bond in the past.

“If you ask me, why go through all this trouble, even setting up an ambush?” Wu Cang shook his head. “With our cultivation levels, unless a Grand Master from the Sword Pavilion comes in person, who can stop us? We should just break the formation directly, destroy Gantang Dao, and return as soon as possible. Hiding around will only create more variables.”

Upon hearing this, the Peak Master of Butian glanced at Wu Cang and laughed:

"A typical independent cultivator."

Wu Cang: "???"

Upon hearing this, Wu Cang's previously calm face twisted in shock, his complexion turning frighteningly dark, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Dao, what is the meaning of this?"

As a Foundation Establishment True Person who joined the Holy Sect after reincarnation, his past as a rogue cultivator was always Wu Cang's biggest pain and a stain on his life.

That's why he hates it most when people call him a rogue cultivator!
Seeing this, the Peak Master of Butian shook his head and continued, "Fellow Daoist Wucang, if you don't want people to think you're a rogue cultivator, you need to change your rogue cultivator mindset."

"If you continue to have this kind of rogue cultivator mentality, then even if people don't say you're a rogue cultivator to your face, they'll still look at you with the same eyes they would have behind your back. For example, your suggestion just now, to break the formation by force? That's the kind of thinking that only a rogue cultivator who only knows how to fight and be brave would have."

Upon hearing this, Wu Cang became somewhat exasperated and said:
"So, according to you, fishing here is fine? Will that person from Gantang Road really come out? What if he chooses to stay put?"

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, the Peak Master of Butian Peak nodded, then changed the subject: "Then, fellow Daoist, if you were the Howling Sea Immortal of Gantang Dao, would you have made a move?"

"of course not."

Wu Cang subconsciously shook his head: "We are both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, how dare I confront a Saint Sect True Person? Of course, it is most reasonable to hold our ground and wait for the Sword Pavilion to come to our aid."

"What if the reinforcements from Jian Ge have already arrived?"

"Oh? Who?" "Ye Guyue, mid-stage Foundation Establishment complete."

"Then what's there to be afraid of? Just go for it!"

Wu Cang said something subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, he shut his mouth with a dark face. Seeing this, the Peak Master of Butian Peak laughed and said, "This is the mindset of a rogue cultivator."

As if to confirm his words, the next second the Gantang Dao Formation Gate opened wide, and two streaks of light flew out, heading straight towards the three of them.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

Upon seeing this, the Peak Master of Butian grinned. Ever since he learned that Ye Guyue had arrived in Gantang Road, he had been preparing to besiege the city and attack its reinforcements.

As for how he found out about this, it was actually quite simple. He managed to capture a Foundation Establishment guest elder of the Ye family, then used the Heaven-Mending Scripture to copy out the way to contact the Ye family, and subsequently intercepted the Ye family's communications. Only then did he learn about Ye Guyue's movements toward Gantang Road.

"The time has come, fellow Daoist, make the first move."

The Peak Master of Butian Peak said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, your appearance can lower their guard. Then, we can fight and retreat, luring these two into the forbidden formation I have set up."

Upon hearing this, Wu Cang walked out with a sullen face.

Damn it, so what if I'm a rogue cultivator? Did rogue cultivators eat your rice? After saying all this, in the end, won't you still have to use me, a rogue cultivator?
On the other side, the Peak Master of Butian Peak was secretly making his own plans.

'I offended Hongyun before, so going through this for him now can be considered repairing our relationship. Maybe he'll even support me in breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in the future.'

Then, he glanced in the direction of Gantang Road.

'Interesting. That Xiaohai Zhenren actually broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage? No wonder Ye Guyue made a special trip; could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to send him to the Sword Pavilion?'

'That's good. It'll allow Wu Cang and Xuan Xu to stall for time, making Ye Guyue think the outcome is already decided, that she can win even without Xiao Hai Zhenren. That way, she might kill them herself without me having to lift a finger, and then I can make my move without lifting a finger.'

Thinking about this, he became even more confident.

No matter how you look at it, the ratio of Foundation Establishment True Persons is three to one. Our side has an extra Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator from the Holy Sect's direct lineage, so the advantage is in our hands!
That being said.

However, the Peak Master of Butian Peak was completely unaware that above the smoke screen where he was, a figure was sitting upright in the clouds, coldly observing him.

"It's Chen Taihe."

Chongguang frowned slightly: "This one is not easy to deal with. The Peak Master of Butian Peak must be carrying an imperial edict jade tablet. We can't kill him, and it would be easy to alert him."

The imperial edicts from the four peaks of the inner sect of the Holy Sect are different from other methods.

The jade tablet is not only bound to the soul, but also to cause and effect. It can be activated manually or triggered passively. It was personally crafted by the True Lord.

Taking rash action will only backfire.

However, a smile soon appeared on Chongguang's face: "This is also an opportunity. Since it's not easy to make a move on the Holy Sect, let's start with the Sword Pavilion."

"It's a good opportunity to lure out another Grandmaster from Sword Pavilion so that the inner demon can devour him."

"Once the Sword Pavilion escalates its demands, we can rightfully deal with the Heaven-Mending Peak Master, forcing the Holy Sect to escalate its demands as well, until even a True Monarch is brought to his end!"

Thinking about this, he even felt a little excited.

After all, since becoming the acting leader of the Holy Sect, he has rarely cheated people. He usually uses his power to suppress people. I never expected that he would return to his old ways.
