I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 77: Righteous and Evil

Peaknet Forest

Peaknet Forest was ho to many spirit beasts and specter beasts, and was rich in resources, though the quality of the spiritual plants produced were only around rank 3, so most of the cultivators going to the Peaknet forest were at the Crystallization Realm.

Although cultivators often co here to hunt spirit beasts, gather herbs, and obtain resources, sothing seed to be off today, as there were noticeably more cultivators than usual.

The strongest demon beast in Peaknet Forest currently was only at the level of a 2nd layer of the Big Specter Realm, which was equivalent to a human cultivator at the 2nd layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Human cultivators progressed through stages of Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, Crystallization, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Ascension, Void, Saint Realm (Half-Saint, Saint), and Tribulation.

Specter beasts progressed through stages of Specterfication, Rogue Specter, Small Specter, dium Specter, Big Specter, Specter King, Specter Sovereign, Specter Emperor, Specter Saint (Half-Saint, Saint), and Tribulation.

Today, not only were there many Crystallization Realm cultivators, but there were also many Golden Core Realm cultivators and several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators present. Although those cultivators didn’t approach the specter beasts, their re aura scared away the specter beasts that usually roam around freely in the forest.

It’s fine for Crystallization Realm cultivators to co and go as long as they don’t disturb . But today, it feels like an expeditionary force from a tribe. Are they planning to wipe out all the demon beasts in my Peaknet Forest? Outrageous! The specter beast at the 2nd layer of the Big Specter Realm was furious! And… it cowered in its den, trembling.

In fact, humans generally don’t engage in such slaughter. Peaknet Forest has a continuous cycle of new specter beasts being born and the sa applies to the spiritual plants. They were sustainable, renewable resources. It was bustling with activity today because…

“Huh? How co we still don’t see Junior Brother Ye?” A cultivator expressed his confusion.

On the way here, they didn’t see Ye Yong, and they simply thought that it was because his flying artifact was too fast. However, despite having arrived at Peaknet Forest, they still haven’t seen Ye Yong.

“Perhaps he’s inside gathering herbs. We agreed not to disturb him on his mission and only intervene if he’s in danger.”

“Mm.”

They waited for a while, but there was still no movent. So Golden Core Realm cultivators released their divine senses to search, but they couldn’t find any trace of Ye Yong. Instead, rogue cultivators and disciples from other sects who were originally here for resources in Peaknet Forest saw such a large gathering and thought a powerful specter beast had been born here, so they all got scared and rushed out of Peaknet Forest.

“Soone’s coming. It’s Martial Return Sect steward Sun Chang Liang!”

“Young Han Sect’s instructor Lu Fen, is here too!”

Before long, representatives from several major sects arrived, and even dium and small sects were observing from a distance.

“They’ve all co to see Junior Brother Ye?” Soon, a cultivator from the Heavenly Luo Sect realized what was happening.

It had been many years since there was a 7-colored foundation was seen. Ye Yong had already been quite famous within the Great Zhou Dynasty, ranking 5th on the Foundation Establishnt Realm Prodigies List. On the assessnt day of the Heavenly Luo Sect, he was found to have a 7-colored foundation, causing a sensation throughout the Eastern Continent.

Who wouldn’t want to recruit soone with a 7-colored foundation prodigy with exceptional music talent?

Ye Yong had played spiritual tunes and gathered enough spirit energy for 20k cultivators to absorb for half an hour. Even if the nearby there was a dragon vein nearby, and the highest realm cultivator among the 20k cultivators was only at the Golden Core realm, Ye Yong was only at the Foundation Establishnt Realm!

Upon hearing the news that Ye Yong ca to Peaknet Forest for a herb-gathering mission, disciples from other sects naturally ca to investigate. If possible, they would extend an invitation to him to visit their own sects, then inadvertently throw out benefits, hinting that he should leave the Heavenly Luo Sect and join their sects.

As long as they didn’t force Ye Yong, and it was Ye Yong’s own choice, the Heavenly Luo Sect couldn’t say anything. Even if no normal cultivator would leave their original sect to join another, trying it out wouldn’t hurt- after all, there was still a possibility.

“Who leaked the news!?” Many Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Luo Sect were angry.

The eyes of so Crystallization Realm cultivators in the crowd flickered.

In fact, most of the cultivators who had leaked Ye Yong’s mission were just showing off to their friends. After all, there was no way that all of the Heavenly Luo Sect disciples would have no friends outside of the sect. But their friends had friends too, so the news spread like wildfire.

At this mont, no one dared to admit to spreading the information.

“Sun Chang Liang, I hope you are doing well.” A Heavenly Luo Sect steward hiding in the background appeared, not concerned about people from other sects coming. Instead, he thought it was far better and more secure this way.

“Why are you still at the 5th layer of the Nacent Soul Realm, I’ve already reached the 6th layer.” Sun Chang Liang, a solidly built middle-aged man, frowned slightly, sowhat disdainful.

“I… I will break through in a few more years.” The Heavenly Luo Sect steward was montarily speechless. What kind of friend eting was this? Coming and imdiately talking about cultivation levels?

“Who cares if you break through or not. Where’s your Ye Yong? Bring him out and let see him.” Unlike the Heavenly Luo Sect, which had martial arts, spirit arts, and spells, the Martial Return Sect was focused on martial arts. Most martial arts cultivators tend to speak very straightforwardly.

“He’s not here.” The Heavenly Luo Sect steward nad Liu Guang Xing shook his head. “You guys ca for nothing, but it’s not entirely in vain.”

“What do you an? Stop beating around the bush.”

“You’ll find out later.” Liu Guang Xing smiled and stopped speaking.

“Stupid riddle man, would it kill you to speak clearly?”

While the two stewards were chatting, the young disciples were confused.

Ye Yong isn’t here? Then where is he?

There wasn’t much ti to think, and soone shouted, “It’s the Demonic Sect!”

…

On the eastern horizon, a dense mass of people and beasts was approaching.

At this mont, the sharp-witted cultivators imdiately understood the Heavenly Luo Sect didn’t stop a group of young disciples collectively going out and instead sent Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to follow them. It turned out that they were using Ye Yong’s na to lure out the prying eyes of the demonic sects and eradicate them.

This move… the young disciples were at the 1st layer- the female cultivators were eager to interact with Ye Yong, while the male cultivators sought to curry favor with him. anwhile, the higher-ups of Heavenly Luo Sect were at the 5th layer- not only did they protect Ye Yong, but they also took the chance to knock the demonic sect down a notch.

Recently, the demonic sects had indeed grown bolder, causing disturbances everywhere. Did they think they could attack Heavenly Sect’s incoming ships for new recruits without consequences? If we don’t make a big deal out of it, do they really think a top-tier was in na only?

Despite the fact that the demonic sects had multiple factions and sects and that the specific one that attacked the Heavenly Luo Sect’s airship that day might not all show up, they didn’t care. They would treat them all the sa and wipe them out.

As for the demonic sects, they ca because they wanted to capture Ye Yong or take advantage of the chaos to kill off a talented genius of the righteous sects if they failed to capture him.

So, when the demonic cultivators saw a group of Crystallization and Golden Core Realm stage cultivators, along with about a dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators present, they didn’t turn back and instead continued to advance towards them.

At this mont, even if there were spies among the righteous sect cultivators, in such a tense atmosphere, they couldn’t make any moves or signal that Ye Yong wasn’t present. All they could do was silently shout in their minds, “Don’t co closer, it’s a trap!”

“Good shit! So that’s how it is!” Sun Chang Liang was crazy about martial arts, but he wasn’t stupid. Seeing the demonic sects, he imdiately understood what Liu Guang Xing ant earlier. “Coincidentally, I’ve recently learned a new blade technique. These demonic sect garbages are perfect for to practice on!”

Soon, what originally was just Ye Yong casually accepting a commission and senior disciples coming along out of concern turned into a major battle between righteous and demonic sects.

Moreover, the battle was heavily tilted in favor of the righteous sects.

Because the spies among them had no idea that the Heavenly Luo Sect had sent Ascension Realm cultivators to follow them, the information they leaked only said that there were only a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

The demonic sects rushing here this ti were not from a single faction but several factions united. Upon hearing this news, they gathered over 20 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators plus one Ascension Realm cultivator, believing the situation to be in the bag with such a force- enough to capture Ye Yong and eliminate the young disciples, making Heavenly Luo Sect bleed heavily. Yet, not only did other sects join in on the fun, but the Heavenly Luo Sect even sent 3 Ascension Realm cultivators.

How could the demonic sects fight against this?

Trying to kill an Ascension Realm cultivator was quite difficult, and the Ascension Realm cultivator from the demonic sects saw the unfavorable situation and imdiately fled, with many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators also escaping. However, the rest weren’t so fortunate.

While so Nascent Soul Realm cultivators managed to flee, many couldn’t and died. As for the Golden Core and Crystallization Realm cultivators, along with the cannon fodder demonic beasts, they beca perfect targets for the young disciples to practice on.

If they fought desperately, they might be able to trade their life for another. But at this mont, they were all thinking about escaping instead of fighting, and thus, the battle was overwhelmingly one-sided.

…

Heavenly Luo Sect, Sect Master’s Cave.

“13 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the demonic sects eliminated, along with 93 Golden Core Realm cultivators, thousands of Crystallization and Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators, and tens of thousands of demonic beasts,” the immortal crane leisurely walked into the cave, reporting a bunch of news in human language.

“That’s less than what I thought.” The Sect Master continued to write techniques. Writing techniques was a difficult task, especially advanced techniques. It required consideration of spiritual power circulation, the user’s aptitude, and ensuring that there were no contradictions within the technique content to prevent the cultivator from experiencing qi deviation.

“The demonic sects aren’t all fools. Many were lurking and watching in the back. However, after this experience, the next ti they hear news of Ye Yong’s departure, they’ll have to more carefully consider the truthfulness of the news.” The immortal crane smiled. “You really are ruthless. Openly, you only sent 3 Ascension Realm cultivators, but you actually sent one Void Realm cultivator.”

The sect master remained silent.

“Nevertheless, caution is always wise,” the immortal crane continued. “This Ye Yong is quite interesting. He understands diversionary tactics and deceiving others when going out. He’s quite ticulous.”

“You seem to think favorably of him,” the sect master said.

“A 7-color foundation is indeed outstanding. But a genius who hasn’t fully grown up is ultimately nothing. Him going out this ti left quite a good impression on .”

A conversation sowhat similar to a previous one, but with the roles reversed.
