I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World
Chapter 35: A blessing in disguise?
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day of departure.
Early in the morning, Yunmiao Peak dispatched three enormous spirit boats to land at the outer gate.
"Outer disciples whose names are called, board the ship immediately."
"Tan Xiaohua".
"Han Li".
"Wang Lin".
……
"Ma Ke".
Ma Ke was taken aback in the crowd, and Lü Xiu quickly urged him, "Ma Ke, they're talking to you."
"Ma Ke of the 72nd Battalion."
"Hurry up, I'm calling you, why aren't you going? If you hesitate any longer, you'll regret it."
Ma Ke frowned, realizing that his inexplicable inclusion on the list must be related to this person.
But it was too late to change anything now, so he could only respond and walk toward the spirit boat not far away.
Upon hearing Ma Ke's name, Steward Liu was startled and hurriedly squeezed his way over, but he was too late; Ma Ke had already gone far away.
He immediately questioned Lü Xiu, "How did Ma Ge become Ma Ke?"
Lu Xiu feigned ignorance and asked, "Was it read incorrectly?"
"Mistakenly pronounced it? Where is that Ma Ge?"
Lü Xiu quickly pointed to an old man and said, "His name is Ma Ge."
Manager Liu immediately asked, "Is your name really Ma Ge?"
The old man stammered, and Lü Xiu quickly came to his rescue, saying, "Steward Liu, things have come to this point, can we really bring him back?"
Manager Liu immediately realized he had been tricked by Lü Xiu, and angrily retorted, "If the higher-ups blame us, can you afford to be punished?"
Lü Xiu chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Steward Liu. If I didn't have a stronger backer, would I dare to do such a thankless task?"
Manager Liu's heart stirred slightly. He didn't understand who Ma Ke was. No one had asked about him for ten years, but suddenly someone from Cuizhu Peak was protecting him.
But not long after, someone else wanted to send him into a dangerous secret realm where he was in grave danger.
It seems the waters here are deep, and I can't wade through them.
So, Manager Liu could only say "Take care of yourself" before hurriedly leaving.
The thousand outer disciples were quickly assembled and then swiftly brought into the inner sect, where they were distributed according to the assignments of each peak. Ma Ke was naturally sent to Yunmiao Peak.
"Xue Wenzhou." Ma Ke quickly realized that it must have been this guy who was behind it all.
The moment the spirit boat landed on Cloud Mist Peak, Xue Wenzhou's gaze swept over, and Ma Ke became even more certain.
Unexpectedly, this guy was willing to disregard even Uncle Su's feelings in order to get rid of me.
Unbeknownst to him, Xue Wenzhou swore to kill Ma Ke when he saw the mangled corpses of his father and brother.
Moreover, before this, his younger brother had sent a message asking him to get rid of Ma Ke, but before he could do it, his brother passed away.
Therefore, even if it's just to fulfill his younger brother's last wish, he has to kill Ma Ke.
As for Su Wanhe's feelings, Xue Wenzhou naturally took them into consideration; otherwise, there would have been no need for such trouble.
Now that he has cleverly switched Ma Ke into the group entering the secret realm, what can Su Wanhe do even if she finds out?
After all, they are all serving the sect. If others can go, why can't Ma Ke go?
Moreover, he had calculated Su Wanhe's temperament. Although she might be angry, she shouldn't make a big fuss about it, much less go directly to her master to complain.
Otherwise, it would be suspicious that the master of a peak would go to such lengths for an outer disciple with whom he has no connection.
Uncle Su is sensitive about his reputation; how could he let such a thing tarnish it?
That's why she only sent a Qi Refining Level 9 disciple to the outer sect to tell him to take care of Ma Ke, without revealing that it was her own idea.
Since that's the case, Xue Wenzhou has nothing to fear, because he has Cui Yizhen, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, behind him.
Of course, this is mainly due to Su Wanhe's reputation for humility. If it were any other peak master, even if Xue Wenzhou was incredibly audacious, he would have to think twice.
With all the people from Yunmiao Peak who needed to go to the Chanyuan Secret Realm gathered, Peak Master Lei Yunhe gave an order, and everyone boarded a huge spirit ship, while outer disciples such as Ma Ke were placed in the cabins below.
At the same time, one spirit boat from each of the other six peaks also took off, and after they converged, they headed southeast.
Behind them, an even more magnificent giant ship followed in the distance, carrying a Nascent Soul cultivator who was going to take charge. It was unclear whether this time it was Elder Ding or Elder Chu.
As the disciples left, everyone in the outer sect breathed a sigh of relief. Only Steward Liu pondered for a while, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend either side.
Therefore, it was decided to report that Ma Ke had been taken away.
"What? Ma Ge was just made up by Lü Xiu? Ma Ke was sent to a secret realm?"
"You bastard, why didn't you verify it yourself in the first place?"
Manager Liu was thoroughly scolded and dared not utter a word in rebuttal.
But what's done is done, and even tearing him to pieces won't change anything.
Left with no other choice, the hall master had to bite the bullet and have someone deliver the message to Emerald Bamboo Peak. The Chen disciple, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was furious. He never expected that he would mess up such a simple task that his master had entrusted to him.
But the people have already been taken away. Even if I could catch up, would I dare to ask those Golden Core stage elders and peak masters for the people?
Left with no other choice, they went to the summit and reported the truth.
Su Wanhe frowned slightly, knowing that Xue Wenzhou was most likely behind this, and that she had underestimated his vindictiveness.
Even though the downfall of the Xue family had no direct connection with Ma Ke, he still disregarded his own warnings and tried to kill Ma Ke. He was truly hateful.
"Ma Ke, you'll have to get through this ordeal on your own," Su Wanhe sighed inwardly.
It seems that, just as Xue Wenzhou had predicted, she did not intend to personally bail him out, because the relationship between the two parties had not yet reached that level.
She simply admired this young man of humble status and mediocre talent who was still full of pursuit of the path of cultivation and even took it upon himself to protect the reputation of his sect.
Having witnessed so much deceit and treachery, the sudden appearance of such a disciple inevitably evokes some pity, but that's all.
"Have your senior brother Du go to the outer sect and throw that Lu Xiu guy into the Enforcement Hall." Clearly, Su Wanhe wouldn't pretend nothing had happened.
"Yes." The disciple surnamed Chen quickly bowed and agreed, then immediately went to find his senior brother surnamed Du.
This Senior Brother Du is a Foundation Establishment stage disciple. He suddenly came to our door, and the entire outer sect dared not neglect him.
"Where is Lü Xiu, the steward of the 72nd Battalion?"
"Quickly, go and fetch Lü Xiu."
Manager Liu dared not delay and immediately went to bring Lü Xiu over.
"I've met you..." Lu Xiu was about to bow when he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, and then he was suddenly flying in front of Senior Brother Du.
Without saying a word, Senior Brother Du turned around and left.
Lü Xiu knew exactly what had happened and immediately said in a panic, "Senior Brother Du, it was Senior Brother Xue from Yunmiao Peak who told me to do this. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Senior Brother Xue also said that he went to the secret realm this time to do something for Senior Brother Cui of the Crimson Flame Alliance."
Without saying a word, Senior Brother Du casually waved his hand, and several of Lü Xiu's back teeth flew out, half of her face swelled up, and she was led away like a dead dog.
"You're too clever for your own good." The hall master let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sneer.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, little devils suffer. They thought that by associating with Xue Wenzhou, they could offend the people of Cuizhu Peak.
Even if it were Senior Brother Cui, would he really risk a falling out with Green Bamboo Peak for someone like you, an outer sect steward?
In fact, Cui Yizhen knew nothing about this matter; he was merely being used by Xue Wenzhou under false pretenses.
As for Xue Wenzhou, a selfish and self-serving person, he certainly wouldn't risk making enemies with Cuizhu Peak for Lü Xiu's sake; he was just cannon fodder that he planned to use and then discard.
So, even if he were inside the door, he wouldn't give it a second glance, let alone be inside.
Ma Ke, of course, knew nothing of this, nor did he expect Su Wanhe to receive the news and come to his rescue.
However, unlike the other outer disciples who were terrified and despondent, he wasn't too nervous.
Because in his mind, although he had been dragged into Xue Wenzhou's mess, he knew that every cloud has a silver lining.
After all, with his current strength and still operating in the shadows, it's not impossible for him to get a share of the pie in the perilous secret realm.
"Xue Wenzhou, see you in the secret realm."
Ma Ke was eager to see Xue Wenzhou's expression when he wanted to kill him, from disbelief to helplessness, and then to despair and fear.
