Capítulo 935: Chapter 405: Space-Ti Research, Yu Ying Calls for Backup
He spoke with increasing conviction that this idea was indeed feasible. To his surprise, however, Xiao Yuying frowned, appearing sowhat troubled, “The sea domain?”
“Hmm, is there a problem?”
“… No.” Xiao Yuying remained silent for a mont, not providing any further explanation, only saying slowly, “Allow to make so plans.”
…
Sea domain.
In a station on one of the islands, Zhang was marking out the Innate Eight Diagrams with the Fei Xian Pen, as if calculating sothing.
Suddenly, her expression changed, and she looked towards the west.
“Zhang Taishang?”
The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Jiushan sect stationed at the post knew she wasn’t one to be easily startled, so he quickly asked.
“Order the disciples at each station along the trade route to leave imdiately and head for the backup islands!”
Zhang’s expression was solemn as she quickly issued the command.
The Nascent Soul cultivator sensed trouble and promptly responded, “Yes!”
“Send a ssage to the sect, it seems Red Sand Island is about to be attacked by Leiyin Temple cultivators, with a cultivation level… possibly beyond Dao Fruit!”
Upon hearing this, the Jiushan Nascent Soul cultivator’s face changed dramatically, yet he still maintained his composure and nodded.
Zhang had already leaped into the air, heading west, saying, “Send a ssage to the sect, I am heading to Red Sand Island to assist!”
The Jiushan Nascent Soul watched her leave, and as he thought, he suddenly realized — Red Sand Island is a crucial endpoint of the trade route, and currently, it is where Zhang Taishang’s master, Lord Huang, is stationed!
Upon this thought, his expression beca increasingly anxious as he swiftly sent a ssage back to the sect.
…
Red Sand Island was not far from Zhang, and in the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn, the island ca into view.
The beaches on this island were red, which is how it got its na, looking like a red mole on the blue-green sea surface.
In ordinary tis, she naturally didn’t think much of it, but now, she only found the island’s redness glaring, quickening her pace once more.
Fortunately, the cultivators of the Jiushan sect on the island seed to have received the ssage and were already fleeing with their magical treasures.
Perhaps having seen Zhang, they turned their treasures around and flew towards her.
“Oh?”
A soft exclamation sounded, and Zhang ca to a halt, her right hand gripping the Qingjing Bamboo tightly.
To the west, Buddha light illuminated the sea as a golden lotus drifted over.
The one who let out the soft exclamation was an old monk sitting atop the golden lotus.
This old monk’s long yellow eyebrows were astonishing, hanging down to either shoulder.
Beside the golden lotus stood over fifty Leiyin Temple cultivators.
Zhang’s heart tightened, the Innate Eight Diagram before her spun swiftly, and she imdiately confird the cultivation level of the person in front of her — True Immortal!
She even guessed the true objective of these people:
They were likely heading to the Tianhe sect to set up an array.
The long-browed old monk’s gaze swept over the fleeing Jiushan sect cultivators, not caring much, and instead addressed Zhang, “You must be Mr. Zhang of the Jiushan sect?”
“Yes, may I know who you are, Master?”
“This humble monk’s Dharma na is Huitong, greetings to Mr. Zhang.” The old monk joined his palms respectfully, pleasantly courteous, continuing, “I wonder why Mr. Zhang seems to know we are coming?”
His cloudy gaze fell upon Zhang.
Zhang felt an overwhelming pressure pushing her towards the sea, but fortunately, the Qingjing Bamboo in her hand flashed with a cyan-gold light, protecting her.
“Qingjing Bamboo…”
The gaze of Huitong the old monk fell onto the Qingjing Bamboo.
Zhang realized this was no good; the Leiyin Temple ca with ill-intent, not to ntion they always eyed the Qingjing Bamboo.
No matter what, she was no match for a True Immortal.
Yet she showed no sign of fear on her face, only frowning and saying, “This Red Sand Island is territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, may I ask what brings Master here?”
Monk Zhitong chuckled lightly and spoke, “It’s nothing really, our Leiyin Temple received word that Red Sand Island may have traces of the Demon Sect, so we ca to investigate.”
Junior Master Huang had already flown to Zhang’s back, and upon hearing this, anger flashed across her face, seemingly ready to refute.
But Zhang gestured, stopping her from speaking, saying instead, “This is a serious matter, Master might as well go investigate thoroughly.”
Junior Master Huang was taken aback, but heard the old monk say, “No rush, the Demon Sect is indeed important, but the old monk has another favor to ask.”
Zhang narrowed her eyes.
“This Qingjing Bamboo is an inheritance treasure of our Leiyin Temple’s predecessor, may I ask if Mr. Zhang would be willing to return it?”
The waves on the sea surface suddenly cald.
…
Zheng Fa had received the ssage early on, being in his own courtyard at the Ziwei Yuan.
Xiao Yuying and Master Pang were there too, the three of them discussing arrangents, preparing to head to the sea domain to search for the Tianhe Ruins.
Upon receiving the warning, Zheng Fa was imdiately alard.
Seeing his expression, Master Pang asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sister Zhang deduced that Leiyin Temple is planning to attack Red Sand Island.”
“…”
Both Master Pang and Xiao Yuying were startled, understanding the urgency, yet Master Pang asked, “How is she?”
“Junior Master Huang is on Red Sand Island, Sister Zhang went to assist.”
Zheng Fa took a deep breath, suppressing his inner rage, frowning, “We’ve long anticipated the trade route might provoke dissatisfaction from Leiyin Temple, but for them to strike so suddenly now, are they really ignoring everything?”
Master Pang’s expression was equally grim.
The value of the East-West Continent trade route was evident to Lord Nichang, so Leiyin Temple wasn’t foolish either.
But the Jiushan sect didn’t expect their reaction to be so severe.
Didn’t the Supre Dao warn them?
“… No, that’s not right.” Master Pang suddenly spoke, “Did the Supre Dao previously ntion not to act against you specifically?”
Zheng Fa was montarily taken aback, then suddenly recalled, realizing it was true.
From the beginning, the Supre Dao only cared about him.
Generally speaking, a cultivator at the Dao Fruit level maintains so dignity and wouldn’t target those with lower cultivation levels intentionally.
Apart from Zheng Fa, other mbers of the Jiushan sect seemingly posed no threat to Leiyin Temple.
Yet this thinking clearly underestimated Leiyin Temple’s shalessness, or rather, their persistence.
“I’ll go assist Sister Zhang.” He said to Master Pang.
Master Pang frowned, “You might be too late.”
Red Sand Island is near the West Continent, very far from the Jiushan Realm, even using the Rainbow Transformation Skills would take so ti.
Beside him, Xiao Yuying remained silent for a mont, then reached into her front pocket and pulled out a Treasure Bead.
“My Master should be able to make it in ti.”
