Chapter 333 First-Rate Sects

On one of the Huang Dragon's hidden world celestial mountains.

This celestial mountain was located near the summit of the whole hidden world, containing a more potent Divine environment than the rest.

An incredibly rich Divine essence allowed for this specific celestial mountain to breed far more powerful cultivators than its lower counterparts.

In one of its several massive forests, a group of youths was on a regular hunting mission.

This group was a powerful band of cultivators. The weakest ones were peak upper-tier Sacred Sages, while the strongest was a 2ndfall stage Divine Origin expert.

With a powerful lineup, the group of youths had a certain amount of confidence when on their hunting missions.

Their task involved capturing a Wild Horn Ape. A particularly powerful Dao Beast with prowess sitting firmly in upper-tier 1stfall stage Divine Origin.

Moreover, because of its bestial bloodline, its skin had powerful defenses that can even annoy a 2ndfall stage Divine Origin expert.

A task like this could only be completed by a highly trained and focused group of cultivators.

But these youths didn't fully put the Wild Horn Ape in their minds. Each of them was dawning complex expressions, tension clearly evident by the wrinkles on their foreheads.

As they traveled through the forest, they were casually conversing with each other.

"I didn't think there would ever be a day where venturing here is far less tension-filled than being at home. It almost feels too good to simply breathe in the air."

"No kidding. Our Solar Sect is just becoming too crazed nowadays. It's like anything minor can set of the Elders. It doesn't help that Kailong made such a wild storm earlier. Her troubles, I feel like, are spilling onto us."

One of the youths suddenly dawned a contemplative expression. "Maybe we can use something from here to alleviate our tension?"

Another youth's eyes suddenly lit up at this suggestion. "I think what we need is some sort of scapegoat. If we can just get someone and cleverly place all the blame on them, we should be shielded for a short while. At least, I hope we will…"

In the Huang Dragon's hidden world, there are numerous other organizations besides the main Imperial Palace.

When placed in the Lower Realms, these organizations could honestly be considered the most powerful Sect in that Lower Realm world. They can even be titled as honorary Holy Lands in the Divine Plan.

But among a hidden world, these organizations were merely first-rate Sects.

These first-rate Sects weren't particularly powerful in the God Galaxies' environment. But their overall prowess was enough to live in these celestial mountains.

The Solar Sect actually has quite the reputation among the first-rate Sects.

Compared to others, the Solar Sect has several Divine Star experts at the head of the organization.

There were even rumors of the old ancestors reaching the absolute zenith of the Divine Star realm.

Whether it was true or not, it was impossible to deny the Solar Sect's military strength.

Furthermore, among its younger generation, the competition was fierce.

Great geniuses consistently appear from the Solar Sect. They would then later go on to make a name for themselves in the hidden world.

And very recently, because of new waves of world-shaking news, the younger generation's competition ramped up by numerous degrees.

Many disciples were striving hard to improve past their limits.

On the horizon, the Huang Dragon's hidden world would inevitably experience a profound change that'll completely shift everyone's situation.

At that time, it would either be to adapt to the change or be swept over by the waves.

Naturally, the prideful Huang Dragons didn't want to simply be swept up. Their competitive mentality created an environment of zero tolerance.

Only the best among the best could gain any sort of recognition.

Weakness absolutely can't be tolerated!

These sudden new policy certainly helped inspire morale in the young Huang Dragons.

But at the same time, not everyone can deal with this kind of tension.

In fact, the average wills of geniuses would be nowhere near the level of, say, people like Cain or Kali.

The average geniuses born with ordinary circumstances are far more common. These types wouldn't need to experience tremendous burdens placed upon them simply because they were born.

Martial cultivation forges the will. But only through numerous situations can cause a cultivator resolve to break into new boundaries.

When faced with highly tense situations, reactions heavily differ from youth to youth.

Such as with this current group of youth who all decided to push off the problems by taking on more manageable tasks.

None of them were expecting much from this task. But they couldn't deny that a sudden scapegoat would make their entire days.

The groups of youths continued conversing and causally traveling until abruptly stopping. Their gazes suddenly became intent as they focused on one specific spot.

Hope started to rapidly arise within them. They couldn't help shouting from their Martial Hearts.

'This really is Miracle! Two Miracles!'

Indeed, just a few dozens of meters to the right of them were two people wearing hoodies that covered their identities.

Truthfully speaking, these two were undoubtedly suspicious-looking.

However, more important than their looks was the fact that their natural auras weren't anything special.

One merely had a Sacred Sage natural aura. While the other had an unremarkable Divine Origin aura.

If the Divine aura person at least exuded a sensation of a mid-tier 1stfall Divine aura, the group of youths would feel a considerable amount of caution.

Cultivators with middle-tier prowess can be crafty to capture. One would need significantly higher cultivation to truly suppress a decent mid-tier 1stfall Divine Origin expert.

But for a bottom-tier Divine Origin, the situation practically becomes easy mode.

A bottom-tier Divine Origin expert is known to have an unstable Inner World and dried up Divine Origin and Source Law Marks.

The combination would lead to that cultivator's natural Divine aura to exude a noticeably weaker sensation.

Thus, it was a simple task to pick out who was a genuine bottom-tier Divine Origin expert.

These types of people were basically zero threats to any decently strong Divine Origin experts.

p The group of youths felt as if they saw relief itself in these hooded people.

None of them cared at all about acting unrestrained. They could only say in their Martial Hearts that it's these two hooded people's bad luck for encountering them.

"Hey! You two!" The 2ndfall Divine Origin expert, the leader of the group, shouted in a forceful as he and his group imposingly walked over.

The group of youths subconsciously released even more of their Divine auras for that extra fear effect.

A group of powerful cultivators against a bottom Divine expert and some Mortal realm cultivator, how could this situation develop any other way?

The group of youths could already see these two hooded people bowing their heads, pleading to follow their every order.

'And perhaps being our scapegoat can be a great opportunity for them. Really, they should be grateful to us.' The leader and his other group members genuinely believed in themselves.

However, when the youths neared them, the two hooded people abruptly snapped their gazes around.

In that moment, the hooded people finally acknowledge the youths' existence.

And proceeding next was two powerful aura sensations exuding out from the hooded people, causing the air to swirl their very will.

Time seemed to completely freeze.

The group of youths couldn't take a step forward.

They all felt as if an iron hand powerfully gripped their entire beings!

Even more shocking, most of the powerful aura sensation came from the mortal realm cultivator!

Before the Solar Sun's disciples even got a chance to think or react, two snorts blasted into their ears like chaotic thunderstorms.

'Hmph!'

Those cold snorts came from the depths of hell.

It wasn't a Huang Dragon that they were dealing with but rather two asura demons from purgatory!

'Run!!'

The group of youths immediately scurried off.

Cold sweat drenched their clothes as they turned into trails of lights at their fastest speeds, sailing off into the far horizon.

"To think they are all this brazen to act that way. It's their bad luck for coming across us in any case." A calm woman's voice leaked out of one of the hooded people.

"I suppose it is. But from what they were talking about, they're related to that Sect you mentioned before." An equally calm male voice came from the other hooded person.

Under the hoodies, these two people's appearance alone would've caused that previous group of youths to completely submit instantaneously.

Of course, it could only be the royal descendants Huang Xun and Cain.

For the first time, neither Cain nor Huang Xun had their regular partners with them. These two had actually thoughtfully planned this day out so there wouldn't be any sudden interruptions.

Cain was slightly surprised that Huang Xun directly asked to spend a day with him. She claimed she had something very intriguing to show him about their hidden world.

That sentiment quickly enticed Cain.

During his weeks of training, he would still periodically go out with Amber for dates in Yellow Dragons City. But he hadn't really branched off from there.

Cain simply didn't know where else he should go that wouldn't cause him to encounter any unexpected dangers.

Of course, Amber didn't have any other ideas on where to go.

And Kali simply didn't care enough to go out.

So realistically, Huang Xun was his next best option.

The relationship between the two has been steadily improving at any rate. A trip alone together could noticeably help to improve it.

Moreover, Cain was curious to witness Huang Xun's vast knowledge about their hidden world.

Thus, after dealing with the minor annoyances, Cain asked, "So? Just why exactly are we here? Seems like the Solar Sect is greatly riled up because of Kali and I. Is there some genius that caught your eye because of it?"

"This is someone who I have been paying attention to for some time, even before your emergence. Just wait a moment. It should be starting around now…" Huang Xun calmly said.

The Dragon siblings waited in serene silence for several minutes. Nothing but the passing gust of wind and occasional cramping of grass slithered into their ears.

Just when Cain was about to fall into a cultivation state, Huang Xun recaptured his attention.

She quickly asked first, "Can you use that concealing technique now? Our person is nearly here."
