Chapter 216 The People from Wanshengzhou Have Arrived

Jifengzhou.

Fenglin County.

This is the county town closest to the Moon Gazing Sect.

At this moment, several people dressed in close-fitting clothes and wearing bamboo hats entered Fenglin County.

After entering the county town, they went into a restaurant and booked a private room.

Afterwards, the straw hats were removed, revealing faces.

"The Seventeen Prefectures of Yuanbei are truly wonderful. There aren't many terrifying experts here, and we can travel freely without any constraints."

The speaker was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He drank the wine in his glass, savored it for a moment, and showed a satisfied expression.

"Yes, I even think about staying here forever and never going back to Wansheng State."

Another disciple was also savoring the delicious food while sighing with admiration.

This group of people were the same group from Wansheng Prefecture.

The mission of this group of disciples was to control more sects in Jifeng Prefecture, turning them into puppets to be used at will.

"If I don't return to Wansheng Prefecture and stay in this barren land, I'm afraid I'll never reach the Dao realm in this lifetime."

At this moment, one of the disciples responded.

"What good is advancing to the Dao Realm? Unless you advance to the high level of the Dao Realm and become the sect leader or elder of a top-tier sect truly recognized by the imperial court, you will have no freedom at all. It's nothing like being comfortable here."

The disciple who spoke first responded again.

"Alright, stop nagging."

At this moment, a man who looked to be over forty years old and had a stubble beard, sitting at the head of the table, said in a low voice.

"Take this time to savor some local delicacies and avoid saying anything meaningless."

As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone else immediately fell silent.

"Understood, Senior Brother Mo."

The other disciples fiddled with the bowls and chopsticks.

These unofficial sect disciples from Wansheng Prefecture were forced to practice martial arts from the moment they entered the sect in the mortal realm.

At that time, in order to save time, they had to swallow those tasteless pills.

In Wansheng Prefecture, the competition in martial arts is too fierce.

Although the imperial court was able to take charge of the overall situation, unofficial sects that were not officially recognized were not protected.

They can only struggle to survive in an environment where everyone is fighting for survival.

This is also an important reason for their change in mindset after arriving in the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei.

In less than half an hour, the group had already eaten several rounds.

After setting down the bowls and chopsticks, Senior Brother Mo's gaze swept over everyone.

"We have come here carrying the expectations of the sect leaders and elders, and we must control as many important sects in Jifeng Prefecture as possible."

"Only in this way can we deploy a large number of people to search for the monster map and the whereabouts of Elder Wanye."

Senior Brother Mo's expression was quite serious: "We have already learned that, influenced by the Yuansheng Sect, the major sects in Jifeng Prefecture have consciously formed an alliance. Faced with this situation, we must fight them separately, which puts us under considerable pressure."

"Therefore, I hope everyone will put aside any contempt and earnestly fulfill the tasks entrusted to them by the sect leaders and elders."

"Yes, Senior Brother Mo!"

Several disciples around Senior Brother Mo also abandoned their previous lazy demeanor.

"Our first target is the Moongazing Sect, which is closest to Fenglin County. The Moongazing Sect has two half-step Dao Realm Grandmasters, and they should both possess Dao Weapons. Moreover, they might have some assistance."

"However, this is still far from our strength. If there are no special circumstances, we should be able to completely subdue their sect's higher-ups and rule over their entire sect."

Senior Brother Mo said, "Alright, without further ado, let's get ready to set off."

……

Tsukimō Shōzō.

The news that Xu Ning had subdued the Azure Wolf demon beast that frequently harassed the sect had already spread throughout the Moon Gazing Sect.

The disciples, who already held Xu Ning in high esteem, held him in even greater reverence.

As for the sect elders like Yuan Yuan, they were even more convinced that with Xu Ning around, even if the two top elders were in seclusion recuperating from their injuries, the Moon Gazing Sect would be safe and sound.

After capturing the Azure Wolf demon beast into the demon beast map that night, Xu Ning explained to Yuan Yuan, Si Ying, and the others that he had released the Azure Wolf demon beast.

His excuse was that there was a powerful figure behind the blue wolf demon beast, and if that figure came looking for him, there would be a lot of trouble.

Although Xu Ning's excuse wasn't perfect, Yuan Yuan and Si Ying both knew the truth but didn't press the matter.

Since Xu Ning had already subdued the blue wolf demon beast, they naturally wouldn't say anything more.

This day.

Xu Ning refined another batch of pills.

After Xiao Hui swallowed half of the Demon Beast Blood Purification Pill last time, its potential increased again.

This batch of pills is for Little Gray to consume, so that Little Gray can accumulate strength.

There were quite a few pills in this batch, so Xu Ning put them directly into a small basin and gave it to Xiao Hui.

Little Grey excitedly swallowed the entire small bowl of pills, feeling the surging power of its bloodline within its body; it knew its breakthrough was imminent.

Seeing this, the gray-white figure next to him yawned.

It didn't think Xu Ning was favoring one over the other. Gray was very clear that its bloodline level was very high, and it would be almost impossible for it to achieve a qualitative change.

"Xu Ning."

At this moment, Si Ying came to find Xu Ning.

"Senior Sister Si."

Xu Ning also took the initiative to greet him.

"A patrol of disciples near the Moon Gazing Sect has disappeared."

Si Ying's expression was grave: "They went out on patrol last night, and six hours have passed, but there's still no news."

"Um?"

Xu Ning took it very seriously after hearing this.

Disciples of ordinary sects are highly disciplined and would never disappear without a trace.

This situation must mean something unexpected has happened.

In the past, they would have suspected that they had been kidnapped and killed by other hostile sects. But now, at this critical juncture, they suspect that they have been targeted by those from Wansheng Prefecture.

"Sect Master Yuan is somewhat worried. These disciples were forcibly taken away by people from Wansheng Prefecture and interrogated about information about the Moon Gazing Sect."

Si Ying said.

"Very likely..."

Xu Ning also felt that the probability was very high.

"Have you sent anyone to look for them?"

Xu Ning thought for a moment, then asked again.

"We sent another group of disciples to search," Si Ying said. "Originally, some sect elders wanted to go and search themselves, but Sect Master Yuan stopped them. Sect Master Yuan was afraid that if something happened to these sect elders with higher status, the losses would be even greater."

Xu Ning felt that Yuan Yuan had considered things quite thoroughly.

"What should we do next?"

Si Ying asked Xu Ning.

Without realizing it, she had come to regard Xu Ning as her pillar of support.

"Let's just wait for Sect Master Yuan's orders, after all, he is the Sect Master of the Moon Gazing Sect."

Xu Ning responded.

"it is good."

Si Ying left with a worried expression.

The disappearance of these disciples gave Xu Ning a premonition.

Trouble may be coming for the Moon Gazing Sect soon.

……

Moonlit Gate Outside the Sect.

Hidden in a secluded mountain forest.

At this moment, the missing group of Moon Gazing Sect disciples had already been dealt with by Senior Brother Mo and his group.

Senior Brother Mo and the others also learned about the current situation of the Moon Gazing Sect from the disciples.

"It turns out that the two half-step Dao Realm Grandmasters of the Moon Gazing Sect are already seriously injured. In that case, it seems that our first objective can be easily achieved."

One of the disciples said with a smile.

Senior Brother Mo gave the disciple a cold look, and the disciple quickly suppressed his smile.

"Although the two half-step Dao Realm Grandmasters have lost their combat power, there is an even stronger Yue Lan Sect disciple in charge, making it significantly more difficult to control the Yue Wang Sect than expected."

Senior Brother Mo already knows about Xu Ning's subduing of the Blue Wolf.

However, because this information came from ordinary disciples, their understanding of Xu Ning and Qinglang's strength was inaccurate.

"That Yue Lan Sect disciple is probably a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster who has condensed two or three attribute seeds."

At this moment, another disciple said, "Although his strength is not bad, he is still far inferior to Senior Brother Mo. Senior Brother Mo cultivates two attributes simultaneously and has condensed four attribute seeds. Moreover, Senior Brother Mo also possesses an all-attribute Dao weapon specially bestowed by the sect leader. Dealing with those Yue Lan Sect disciples would be a piece of cake for him."

Senior Brother Mo didn't say much this time; what this disciple said was also what he thought.

He is very confident in his current combat strength.

"Alright, we have a general understanding of the Moon Gazing Sect's situation. Let's set off."

Senior Brother Mo didn't want to waste any time.

"Oh, right..."

Senior Brother Mo reminded them, "Although the weakest of you is at the True Intent Realm, you still need to be careful. If I'm dealing with those Yue Lan Sect disciples, I might not have time to look after you."

"Don't worry, senior brother, we know what we're doing."

One of the disciples quickly spoke up.

"Um……"

Senior Brother Mo nodded and led the way, heading towards the Moon Gazing Sect.

"Hopefully everything will go smoothly..."

A resolute look appeared in Senior Brother Mo's eyes.

Before coming to Jifeng Prefecture, he was personally summoned by the sect leader and entrusted with a task, so Senior Brother Mo was under great pressure.

He knew very well that if this trip succeeded, he would definitely be valued by the sect leader, who would then bestow resources upon him to help him become a Dao soldier and obtain the status of a sect elder.

However, if the trip does not go as expected, my future promotion will be delayed.

Unless one is a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster who deliberately suppresses their cultivation level, the resources required for a breakthrough and the difficulties faced by someone like him, who has no years of accumulated experience and has condensed four attribute seeds, are extremely exaggerated.

The group headed towards the Moon Gazing Sect.

Tsukimichi-mōri.

Inside the villa, Xu Ning's gaze suddenly turned towards the direction of the Moon Gazing Sect's mountain gate.

"They've arrived...it must be the people from Wansheng Prefecture..."

Xu Ning sensed that a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster was approaching.

The aura of that half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster was extremely powerful. He was the strongest half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster that Xu Ning had encountered, apart from Qiu Renshan and Du Yuan.

Xu Ning also perked up and took it seriously.

Although he was invincible below the Dao Realm, this group of people was clearly not to be underestimated.

Behind them stand true Dao Realm Grandmasters, who may have hidden tricks that even they themselves would be wary of.

"Let's go take a look!"

Xu Ning's figure disappeared into the courtyard.

At the same time, gray and white followed closely behind.

At the mountain gate.

Senior Brother Mo and his group had arrived, surrounded by Moon Gazing Sect disciples lying haphazardly.

"Um?"

Just as they were about to continue walking forward, Senior Brother Mo suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw a young man dressed in a white robe.

"That disciple of the Yuelan Sect..."

Senior Brother Mo and Xu Ning exchanged glances.

Thank you to the boss of evil魑魅魍魉 for the generous donation!
