Chapter 525: Chapter 273: Heading to Canghua Sect_1
After returning to Yun Yi Peak, Lin Yi had just stepped out of his cultivation cave mansion when he heard a message from Green Jade Zen Ren, instructing him to go to Jade Illusion Peak for a farewell to Jade Illusion Zen Ren.
When he arrived at Yun Yi Peak Plaza, deafening cheers filled his ears. Some disciples shouted with excitement, celebrating the lifting of the sect extinction crisis. Many more disciples were sat exhausted on the ground, as if drained of all energy.
Seeing Lin Yi’s arrival, they still showed excitement on their faces, they cupped hands and bowed deeply, “Greetings, Master Yun Yi.”
Lin Yi nodded slightly, looking beyond the formation, there lay a red sedan chair, levitating in mid-air with a few grim-looking old women surrounding it, resulting in an indescribable eerie feeling.
He couldn’t help but feel grateful for his tireless years of cultivation, where he always pestered Pill Immortal Master for teachings with no slack. Otherwise, even if he was in the Golden Core Realm, capable of unleashing the power of Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to resolve the sect extinction crisis.
Only overwhelming power can make enemies lose their courage and not dare to oppose him. Otherwise, even if a tiny window of opportunity presents itself, these heretic sects wouldn’t easily give up.
“The crisis of the Liu Yun Sect has been resolved, everyone feel free to celebrate. Later, on Yun Yi Peak, join us in sending off Jade Illusion Zen Ren with a farewell,” Lin Yi said with a smile. He could empathize with how strong the preceding despair was, the immense pressure of the sect extinction crisis was suffocating.
Now that the crisis has been lifted, the burdensome pressure has dissipated like smoke in the air, naturally leaving everyone feeling drained.
“We will heed Master’s command.” All disciples bowed with their hands clasped.
Lin Yi then took flight from Yun Yi Peak, steering his sword towards Jade Illusion Peak.
The Jade Illusion lineage was located near the entrance of the sect, serving as the first line of defense for intruders after they breached through the main formation. Thereon, numerous illusion formations had been placed. Along with the spellcasting efforts of Jade Illusion Peak’s disciples, they could trap many enemies within the illusions.
Of course, this was only effective against the enemies of the Foundation Building Realm. The effect on the Golden Core Realm was much weaker, and for the Nascent Soul Realm, it had virtually no effect.
Now, Jade Illusion Zen Ren was about to join the Sun Moon Divine Sect, which meant that the first line of defense would lose its key function.
As he passed by each other mountain peak, he could hear the cheers of the disciples within the sect. Although the main peaks, Hua Yang and Wan Jun, were still surrounded by formations, those two Golden Core Real People were not capable of breaking such carefully arranged defensive formations.
Presumably, they would have to wait until after bidding farewell to Jade Illusion Zen Ren, then they would turn their attention on dealing with these two turncoats.
Upon arriving at Jade Illusion Peak, Lin Yi didn’t hear any cheers, but sounds of unwilling farewells and sorrowful sobs instead. After all, from this moment onwards, the Jade Illusion lineage was merely a name without its essence.
At that time, Green Jade Zen Ren and some other Golden Core Real People were already waiting at the top of the peak, not disturbing the farewell between Jade Illusion Zen Ren and her disciples.
Lin Yi slowly descended onto Jade Illusion Peak on his sword. The other several Golden Core Real People nodded and greeted him.
Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu came over and stood with Lin Yi, “Junior Brother, you don’t have to worry now. Sister Yu Huan has found fortune amidst her misfortune. Just that, in the future, the chances for you to meet her would be fewer.”
They had clearly seen the capricious side of the red-clothed woman through the projections in the Treasure Mirror. From her loving display, it appears she had more intentions than just recruiting followers. This Eastern Sect Master of the Sun Moon Divine Sect must have some peculiar preferences.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, these are all secondary. What’s important is that following that Eastern Sect Master, this kind of incidence will not occur again.” Lin Yi shook his head.
How could there be fewer opportunities to meet? As the sect hierarch, he would naturally see Sister Yu Huan frequently.
“Indeed, in the Cultivation World, might is right. Without strength, even your own sect colleagues, your own beloved, cannot be protected.” Zhou Yun Feng sighed. He could not imagine-if instead of Jade Illusion Zen Ren, it was his wife who had been captured, that would have given him an unbearable feeling.
After a while, when Jade Illusion Zen Ren had bid farewell to her disciples, she came before the Golden Core Real People of the sect, bowing with hands clasped, “Sect Master, and all my fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters, Junior Brothers and Sisters, I officially leave the Liu Yun Sect today. From now on, I will hand over all disciples of Jade Illusion Peak to you.”
Green Jade Zen Ren barely nodded, solemnly saying, “Rest assured, Sister Jade Illusion, Jade Illusion Peak will always be here. In the future, if you have the chance, you can come back for a visit. This place will always be your home.”
“Although Elder Xuan Qing is seriously injured, he will come out to see you off when you’re leaving.”
“Thank you Sect Master, I will certainly return if I get a chance.” Jade Illusion Zen Ren agreed.
Subsequently, she walked towards Lin Yi and said with a smile, “Junior Brother Yun Yi, I’ve made you worried. I heard that when you saw me fall into the hands of the three heretic sects, you were at your wit’s end.”
Lin Yi looked at Jade Illusion Zen Ren; a thousand thoughts transformed into one sentence, “Sister, take care all the way.”
While facing such a ravishing fairy, it would be false to say that he was not moved. Although cultivators can suppress their desires, they are not utterly without feelings and are not rocks at the end of their cultivation.
In the past, when he impersonated Invincible East, he touched Sister Yu Huan’s face, experiencing that soft, delicate sensation and couldn’t help but feel a heartbeat of emotion.
