Chapter 419 – Channels
“Miss Yan, this humble one Jade Sword Sect Ying Leishang greets you!”
Yan Qinxi looked at the dozen or so Jade Sword Sect cultivators that appeared in front of them, and saw that the person in the lead was the person who had just spoke.
“Ying Leishang, Jade Sword Sect’s Successor Disciple, rumored to be the number one Successor Disciple of the third generation!”
Yan Qinxi looked at the person in front of him, her expression neither hot nor cold, and said: “What, Fellow Daoist Ying, do you have any advice for stopping us?”
I only want to invite Miss Yan to explore the ruins of the Heaven-Shaken Sect together. I heard that Miss Yan and the others have once entered and left the before, which shows that they have some attainments in array formations, and the sword arts of my Jade Sword Sect is much more confident in destroying these residual array restrictions. If we were to work together, we would be able to travel even further in the ruins of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. ”
Yan Qinxi was quiet for a moment, then suddenly asked: “The people following you are yours?”
Ying Leishang looked distracted for a moment, then said: “I have indeed sent two disciples from my sect to follow Miss Yan and the others. However, I am not following them, I only wanted to verify their route.”
Only two?
Yan Qinxi smiled meaningfully, “It seems like fellow daoist is still thinking about the same thing!”
Ying Leishang’s gaze immediately became unsettled, and after a while, Ying Leishang finally turned to Yang Junshan, Ning Bin and the rest and said: “I heard that Miss Yan has the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Successor Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples with her, that’s lucky, I couldn’t find many disciples in the Yu Cheng, but the miss has found two of them, and they are even the extremely important Successor Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples!”
It was true that the two of them carried the identities of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Successor Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, but if one was familiar with their statuses, both of them would know that it was because of the means used by the Heaven-Shaken Sect to rope in the clans behind the two of them.
It was clear that some people with ulterior motives deliberately revealed the two’s identity in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, but did not mention anything about the two’s family background, as they deliberately misled the various forces in the Yu Cheng.
Currently, all sorts of large and small forces within Yuzhou had sent people to the Yu Cheng to investigate the situation in the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and with just a slight mistake, Yan Qinxi and her group had already become the target of public criticism.
Ning Bin stood up and said loudly: “This one is called Ning Bin, and is called the Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Heh, but, our ancestor, Ning Shijie, probably knows about this as well.”
Yang Junshan also helplessly said: “I am Yang Junshan, and recently became an inner disciple of Heaven-Shaken Sect. As for the reason, it is because my father Yang Tiangang has advanced to the realms of life!”
As the number one Successor Disciple of the Jade Sword Sect, the moment the two of them introduced themselves, Ying Leishang could already guess the gist of it.
Ying Leishang laughed bitterly and said: “This one has already roughly understood what is going on, but this one sincerely invites Miss Yan, Fellow Ning, Taoist Yang and the others to explore the Heaven-Shaking Peak together. After all, it is as this one has said, the two of us working together are actually beneficial to each other, furthermore, if Miss Yan and the others were to encounter similar things again, this one can bear witness to it for all of you, what do you say?”
If it was any other time, Ying Leishang’s suggestion would be considered a good one, but and the rest had decided to come back with full rewards this time. If there were too many people, wouldn’t that mean that they would receive less and less, furthermore, the cracking of the forbidden array might not necessarily mean that the more people there were, the easier it would be to break it?
Yan Qinxi glanced at Yang Junshan, and seeing that he was shaking her head slightly, she rejected him gently: “Thank you, Dao Friend Ying, but we still plan to first go to Heaven-Shaking Peak to check the surroundings, if our strength is insufficient, at that time, we will have the guts to ask for your help.”
After seeing Yan Qinxi and the rest walk far away, some of the Jade Sword Sect cultivators were puzzled: “Senior Brother Ying, why are you being so courteous to them? After all, although the identity of those two were given to them because of the Heaven-Shaken Sect trying to rope them in, in the end, that identity was genuine! ”
Ying Leishang shot a glance at him, and said: First, that Yan Qinxi is the granddaughter of the Tan Xi Sect, Master Yan, and you have seen the might of the Tan Xi Sect, although the Adept Jiang Tao has fallen, but under the condition that Master Yan will not do anything, the Tan Xi Sect will still suppress the Damascus Plains likortoise, so we have to give face to the Tan Xi Sect; secondly, there are five people in this group, and their strength is not below ours. Thirdly, I, Ying Leishang hates being used as a spear!
“Then, Senior Brother, what should we do next?”
Ying Leishang’s expression shook, and said: “Go to Heaven-Shaking Peak, and pay homage to this’s number one sect!”
“Senior Brother, before we leave, Martial Ancestor Fei Xiao once passed down a sword token, asking us to find the remains of other sect disciples who had perished in the Heaven-Shaking Peak as much as possible. On the day of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s collapse, the various sect disciples were all unrestrainedly collecting treasures in the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and every person who perished there was carrying the treasures of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.”
Ying Leishang did not think much of it and said: “With such a big Heaven-Shaking Peak, and the dangers of the forbidden array, no one will be able to know where those fallen people are. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack, at that time we just have to enter and try our luck.”
Another one suggested, “Why don’t we follow behind the people from Tan Xi Sect? After all, last time, there waumor that Yan Qinxi and Yue Yang broke through four light curtains consecutively under the pursuit of the Ouyang Family. Although she did not know whether it is true or not, but after obtaining so little in the first four light screens, there is no doubt that Yan Qinxi is able to attract so many helpers this time.
Ying Leishang was startled, and asked: “Yang Junshan, is he the Yang Junshan that used an array formation to block the Adept Chang Feng? “Why didn’t you remind me earlier?”
The person who spoke earlier said, “Then, shall we chase them again?”
Ying Leishang was startled, but ultimately, he shook his head: “Forget it, gains do not make up for losses, let’s do it ourselves.”
Looking at the people following him from behind, Yan Qinxi said: “Do you want us to take care of the people behind us?”
Yang Junshan shook his head: “In such a big Heaven-Shaking Peak, there are countless of people. Since there are people scheming against them, we will meet them sooner or later.
Yan Qinxi snorted in anger: “In the end, who is the one who is spreading the rumors, if Aunt knows, I’ll definitely teach them a lesson.”
Ning Bin replied, “That’s hard to say. The other three sects in Xi’an County, the Opening Spirit School s, and the Zhang County s are all not impossible.
Yan Qinxi was a little worried as she bumped into Yang Junshan who was walking beside her, and said: “Heh, since we can’t hide our whereabouts, if it was like last time, with someone ambushing us at the entrance of the forbidden array, what are we going to do when they wait for us to come out?
Yang Junshan disapproved and said: “Who do you think will be so bored as to do nothing, to offend the granddaughter of the Tan Xi Sect’s Daoist Master Yan?”
“Last time, the Ouyang Family…”
“That’s because you found out the secret behind the Ouyang Family’s secret technique of Blood Sucking Art, they had no choice but to kill you and silence you. Besides, don’t tell me the internal conflict in Ouyang Family was defeated this time, if not for your Tan Xi Sect’s help, a family withousand years of history would have been destroyed so easily!”
Yan Zhong squinted his eyes as he looked at Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan seemed to not have noticed anything.
After arriving at the Heaven-Shaking Peak, they did not go through the passageway that Yan Qinxi and Yang Junshan went through. This made all the forces that were waiting there lose their hopes on them.
Even so, after looking around the outskirts of Heaven-Shaking Peak, Yan Qinxi and her group still unavoidably met many groups of cultivators, while Yan Qinxi and Ning Bin’s expressions became heavier and heavier.
Yang Junshan looked at them in puzzlement, and asked: “What’s wrong with all of you?”
Ning Bin and Yan Qinxi looked at each other, and Ning Bin first spoke: “The ones we met earlier were members of the Zhuge Family!”
Yang Junshan knew of the Zhuge family’s reputation. In Yuzhou, they were a well-known family like the Ouyang Family, but he still did not understand, “So what?”
Yan Qinxi said resentfully, “The Zhuge family is the top clan in the Yuzhou, you didn’t know? Since the Zhuge family is here, then I’m afraid that they have reaped the most rewards during this time of excavation of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s Ruins. ”
So this was the reason!
Yang Junshan did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he still said: After entering the forbidden array, it’s true that the more we pass through the barrier, the bigger our harvest will be. But that will depend on our luck.
On the night of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s collapse, because they could not escape in time, a few cultivators were killed by the forbidden torrent triggered by the forbidden array. Most likely, all the treasures that these cultivators carried were all treasures taken from the Heaven-Shaking Peak.
Everyone laughed, they did not mind, there were a few True Cultivators that died that day, searching for the Heaven-Shaking Peak was not as simple as luck, but they did not know that Yang Junshan had already found the corpse of a Spiritual Cultivator.
However, Lu Jing looked at Ning Qing and said, “To be fair, I think the location of the barrier that the Zhuge family’s cultivators just chose is very good.”
Ning Qing added, “That’s right. The restriction screen is weaker compared to other places. At least, it’s easier to break through at the beginning.”
In fact, Lu Jing and Ning Qing had once found a suitable place for them to break through the barrier of light, but Yang Junshan remained unmoved. This made the two of them lose a bit of face.
However, Yan Qinxi still stood on Yang Junshan’s side the entire time. Ning Bin thought about it but did not say anything, until Yang Junshan brought everyone to a forest that was cut off from the center by a barrier of light.
