The Confucian and Taoist Sages of Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 89 Demonic Invasion

Lei Wanhe also stepped forward, released his divine sense, and transmitted his voice to Yang Qingyuan, "Disciple, release Yan Ruyan first, and I will talk to you in detail later."

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Yang Qingyuan blinked. Not wanting to disobey Lei Wanhe's order, he immediately made a hand seal and released the lightning binding spell from Yan Ruyan's body.

Because Wang Chan's soul was severely damaged by the Yan family patriarch, but she did not die, the Life and Death Curse did not take effect, and Yan Ruyan was unharmed.

Once Yan Ruyan regained her freedom, her expression remained unchanged. She walked behind the Yan family patriarch, glanced at Yang Qingyuan, bowed, and said, "So you are a disciple of Master Lei. No wonder you are so powerful."

"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever. I hope to have the opportunity to exchange skills with you privately."

Yang Qingyuan sensed Yan Ruyan's dissatisfaction, but considering Lei Wanhe's earlier telepathic message, he put away the skull talisman and bowed to the Yan family patriarch and Yan Ruyan, saying, "Previously, this junior saw that the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Yan Family Fortress had close ties, and out of self-preservation, I took Miss Ruyan hostage. I hope that you, senior, will not blame me."

The Yan family patriarch gave Yang Qingyuan a deep look, stood with his hands behind his back, and chuckled, "It's alright."

"It was my oversight that allowed the Ghost Spirit Sect to take advantage of the situation and turn some of their worthless clansmen against them."

"I've caused my young friend so much worry."

"Speaking of which, young friend, you truly are worthy of being Fellow Daoist Lei's esteemed disciple. This is the first time my great-granddaughter has been defeated by a cultivator of the same level."

Q

"You should communicate with Yan'er more often in the future."

Immediately afterwards, the Yan family patriarch looked at True Person Hong Fu and Lei Wanhe and said, "Fellow Daoists, I, Yan, would like to place the disciples of the seven major sects in Feiyun Pavilion for proper medical treatment, as a way to make up for the previous mistakes."

"What are your thoughts, both of you?"

Lei Wanhe and Hong Fu Zhenren exchanged a glance and then nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, the Yan family patriarch left with Yan Ruyan and sent the injured Foundation Establishment cultivators from the seven major sects of Yue back to Yan Family Fortress.

Yan Yu and the other members of the Yan family clan dared not speak and silently followed the Yan family patriarch back.

"Master, may I ask what your deeper meaning was in instructing me to release Yan Ruyan earlier?" Yang Qingyuan asked Lei Wanhe only after the Yan family patriarch had left. "You don't believe what the Yan family patriarch said just now, do you?"

"According to my investigation over the past few days, Yan Family Fortress has not only produced a few traitors, but the entire clan is about to surrender to the Ghost Spirit Sect."

Lei Wanhe showed no surprise upon hearing this description. He crossed his arms and replied, "I have cultivated for hundreds of years. How could I be fooled by the few words of this Yan family patriarch?"

"When Nie Ying returned with the news earlier, I guessed that the Ghost Spirit Sect was specifically there to win over the Yan Family Fortress."

Hearing this, Nie Ying, who was standing to the side, became puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't you join forces with your senior sister Hong Fu and wipe out Yan Family Fortress directly?"

"With your and Master Hongfu's strength, you can definitely defeat the Yan family patriarch."

Lei Wanhe sighed and explained, "You are unaware of the truth."

"Just yesterday, the Core Formation cultivators inside the sect received a message that the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom suddenly dispatched a large number of cultivators to invade Yue Kingdom from two directions: Jiang Kingdom and Cheqi Kingdom. They conquered several prefectures and counties of Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop, and it was simply overwhelming."

"A Core Formation cultivator from Tianque Fortress was caught off guard by the demonic cultivators and was surrounded and killed; even his primordial spirit couldn't escape."

.

"With the strength of our seven major sects in Yue Kingdom, we are no match for the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom."

"The Nascent Soul elders of the seven major sects have all appeared, including our Yellow Maple Valley's Elder Linghu."

"Our ancestor has ordered us to do our utmost to win over the cultivation families within the Yue Kingdom and unite to resist the invasion of the Six Demonic Sects."

"The Yan family is the foremost family of cultivators in our Yue Kingdom. They not only have a Core Formation cultivator, but also hold great symbolic significance. We absolutely cannot turn them away."

"Even if they had secretly reached an agreement with the Ghost Spirit Sect before, now that the Yan family patriarch has killed two Core Formation cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect and crippled the Ghost Spirit Sect's young master, their previous agreement is null and void."

"The Ghost Spirit Sect will never tolerate the Yan Family Fortress."

"Yan Family Fortress now has no choice but to stand with the seven major sects and go down a dead end."

"That's why I told you not to say anything more."

"I will report this matter to Ancestor Linghu in detail, and then I will listen to his judgment."

"But then again, I really feel ashamed." Lei Wanhe suddenly paused and said, "I didn't expect that the news you brought back from Jiang Kingdom was true."

"If we had known this would happen, we should have taken stricter precautions, and the six sects of the demonic path would not have been able to advance so easily and capture so many cities."

Yang Qingyuan, however, did not take it seriously. After all, the six sects of the Demonic Path had Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Even if the Yue Kingdom took precautions in advance, it could not change the final outcome.

Now, all he wants to do is repair the Chaotic Star Sea teleportation array in the mine as soon as possible.

Then, Master Hongfu pulled Dong Xuan'er aside and said, "Xuan'er, why don't you thank your Senior Brother Yang?"

"He was the one who saved you from the Li brothers of the Ghost Spirit Sect."

Dong Xuan'er looked at Yang Qingyuan, still in shock, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Yang. I will never forget your kindness."

Seeing Dong Xuan'er putting on a pitiful act towards Yang Qingyuan, Nie Ying frowned slightly and changed the subject, asking, "Junior Sister Xuan'er, where is Junior Brother Han beside you?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er was also furious and said, "He ran away."

"He didn't even glance at me when he fled; he just turned and left."

Upon hearing this, Master Hongfu understood that the marriage between Dong Xuan'er and Han Li was impossible. She then secretly glanced at Yang Qingyuan, thinking to herself, "A lightning spiritual root, his aptitude is excellent, but he's just too handsome—"

Lei Wanhe pondered for a moment, then said to Yang Qingyuan, "Disciple, the treasure hunt is no longer possible."

"I still need to go see the Yan family patriarch to discuss the Thunder Fruit privately."

"Senior Sister Hongfu, please take care of our injured disciples in Huangfeng Valley first."

Master Hongfu nodded slightly, then left with Dong Xuan'er.

Lei Wanhe transformed into a streak of silver-white lightning and headed straight for the Flying Cloud Pavilion of Yan Family Fortress.

"Junior Brother Yang, this is your spirit pet pouch." Nie Ying took off the black pouch from her waist and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan took the spirit pet pouch, released the black dragon, then bowed to Nie Ying and said, "Senior Sister, I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

"Huh?" Nie Ying asked, puzzled, "Junior Brother, are you leaving? Aren't you going to wait for Master Lei?"

Yang Qingyuan waved his hand and explained, "No, please ask Senior Sister to pass on a message to Master, saying that I will return to the sect first to find a job and serve the sect."

The job he was referring to was naturally to serve as a guard in the mine where the Chaotic Star Sea teleportation array was located.

Seeing how dedicated Yang Qingyuan was to the sect, Nie Ying was deeply moved and said, "Junior brother, please be careful and act within your capabilities."

Yang Qingyuan bowed slightly, then leaped onto the head of the black dragon and headed towards Qingliang City outside the city.

Nie Ying watched Yang Qingyuan disappear into the horizon before rushing to Yan Family Fortress to take care of the injured Huangfeng Valley disciples.
