Chapter 89 - 88: The Three Group Identities

Wei Wuyin had no qualms with the act of plundering, nor with taking advantage of others for his own benefit. While he wasn’t to the extent of being an Evil Cultivator, he exemplified the characteristics of an elite cultivator. In a world of strength, very rarely do you use resources you searched for and discovered yourself.

From the Three-Point Yin Physique to the Ash Dragon City’s vault, he had always capitalized on opportunities to the best of his ability. Since becoming an Inheritor of Sin, this belief and principle was further accentuated. He remained cautious and calculating, trying to determine the best benefit with the smallest loss.

This was his approach when facing Anu, and it will be his approach for the future; such as right now.

Agreeing in this expedition to plunder a fallen Imperial Clan was packed with benefits and risk. The tools, arrays, resources at their disposal would’ve been accumulated at their height. While they couldn’t prevent their inevitable fall without an expert capable of calling forth the wind and rain, they could ensure their survival with the threat of mutual destruction.

However, what shocked Wei Wuyin was the line-up sent. Where were the two Godlords of the Sky Sword Sect? To think they’d merely send a single peak-Mortal God to oversee this while the Scarlet Solaris Sect sent a Godlord.

The benefits they could gain would be definitely less than the Scarlet Solaris Sect, and this would happen in their territory. This baffled Wei Wuyin. While sword and saber cultivators were known for their fierce offensive power and combat prowess, it seemed odd to not send at least one.

And, what about the misfit band of high-end cultivators? Where did they come from?

Just as he was wondering, Mei Yang explained everything. According to her, even she was surprised by the lack of Godlord presence from the Sky Sword Sect. But they were busy, with one roaming the world and the other at a crucial point in cultivation trying to strive for the Ninth Stage, to become a Godking.

Therefore, they only had their Vice Sect Leader, Jian Daiyu, available. She was fourth in command, beneath the two Godlord Ancestral Elders and Sect Leader. She was highly renowned and known as the Sword Flash Goddess. It was said the speed of her sword could reap lives minutes before they realized their death. While this was likely an exaggeration, it was impressive and indicative of her exceptional prowess.

As for the other group, they were known as the Earth-Sky Alliance. They were loose cultivators that gathered together in the Sky Sword Domain. They didn’t have a Godlord as a leader, so they couldn’t establish their own Domain, but due to Dong Fa, a peak-Mortal God, they were a top-tier force just beneath the Five Great Sects.

After all, there weren’t more than two hundred Mortal Gods, known and hidden, in Wu Country and the majority are Sixth Phase Mortal Gods. Those at the seventh phase could become Sect Leaders of the Five Great Sects, so it should not be underestimated.

Before Wei Wuyin and Mei Yang returned to the group, he informed Bai Lin and Su Mei to find food and cultivate until he found them. With a wave of his hand, the white mist that was False Mortal God Avatar became a bracelet on Su Mei’s wrist.

He was an acquaintance of the Lei Clan’s Mortal God, so their demise obviously reached his ears, including details of it.

While he was reeling at his discovery, Wei Wuyin smiled at Dao Shin. "Its been a while." After that, he didn’t talk further because he didn’t know Dao Shin, and his current status and strength was far beneath his notice. He was more interested in Jian Daiyu.

Just as he was about to speak, Mei Yang cheerfully clapped. "He’s our additional support, a peak-Mortal God. This will only serve to decrease the effort we need to put in. As for division of resources, we’ll wait until we’ve thoroughly completed the job before discussing, kay?" Her cheerful, brilliant smile was truly an uplifting act.

Wei Wuyin didn’t bother with all this, walking forward to try to talk to Jian Daiyu. Unfortunately, "Let’s go!" She spoke coldly and, with concerted coordination, she and her disciples swiftly shot off. They weren’t utilizing Qi to invigorate their bodies, relying in their strengthened physical forms to traverse their path.

Mei Yang smiled, chuckling as she gave Wei Wuyin the side-eye. Seeing Wei Wuyin try to approach Jian Daiyu and fail was quite amusing. "Us too!" With those words, she led the Scarlet Solaris Sect members away, following the Sky Sword Sect.

Dong Fa was quiet for a moment and then gave the same order. It wasn’t long before Wei Wuyin was left alone. He had a wry smile as he realized Jian Daiyu’s swift departure was to avoid being tied with his advances. He chuckled, but the challenge was invigorating. Most women nowadays were easily obtained with his high cultivation base and handsome looks, but she might take a little more effort.

With a kick off, he vanished. Unlike the others, his body was refined by all nine elemental energies, saber energy, and draconic blood energies, and the first two were Godlord-level. It was strong to the utmost, so when he relied on merely his physical body, not only did he catch up, in a flash, he had already bypassed them.

Jian Daiyu was already behind him. With a swift turn of his body, he halted his steps. It wasn’t long before Jian Daiyu arrived, her eyes flashed with shock as she saw the smiling Wei Wuyin in front of her. She halted her steps too, with the others halting in response.

"I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself personally; Wei Wuyin, it’s a pleasure to meet the renowned Sword Flash Goddess." He was polite yet confident.

Jian Daiyu was an extremely reticent woman. Her emotions and thoughts were hard to extract, and she barely responded to much. That reserved demeanor with her incredible beauty and intense sharpness made her seem like an empress of a mortal empire.

She blinked. At the moment, they were all not revealing their spiritual sense as to not trigger any alert formations so she nor anyone had seen Wei Wuyin’s movement. However, seeing his intent to introduce himself, she inwardly grew annoyed. How could a woman of her beauty and talent not be pursued endlessly.

She knew the signs. Therefore, she coldly stated, "Stay on task. Follow, and don’t make a mistake." With that, she directly shot off followed by the members of her sect who gave Wei Wuyin all sorts of looks, including shock and a hint of pity. To try to court this woman was a fool’s mission, even for a peak-Mortal God.

Wei Wuyin merely saw them off, his eyes glimmering with a hint of calculation and plotting. After Mei Yang arrived, he had a brilliant smile on his face. She saw him and was startled, but before she could ask a question, Wei Wuyin shot off ahead of them, but this time at a slower pace to merely trail behind.

Mei Yang frowned. How did he bypass them when they left earlier? Her eyes flashed a mysterious light as she followed along.

Dong Fa arrived and saw Wei Wuyin’s silhouette and his heart quaked. Indeed, he is a Godlord! With two, this mission should be easy. With renewed vigor, he similarly made plans to place himself in Wei Wuyin’s list of friends.
