Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Your Disciple Has Caused Trouble
Translator: 549690339 |
Zhiyue Peak, Elder Zhao Wuyan of Mount Shu’s cave abode, where Zhao Wuyan was meditating and cultivating.
Zhao Wuyan, an Elder of the fifth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, held an extremely high status among the Elders of Mount Shu.
Elders of the Dao Palace Realm were the bedrock of Mount Shu, and what’s more, Zhao Wuyan had long been famous, ranking among the strong within the Elders of the Dao Palace Realm.
“What’s with all the hustle and bustle outside the cave abode?”
Zhao Wuyan frowned, his heart and mind restless, unable to continue meditating and cultivating.
“Enough, I’ll go out and see what has happened.”
His Zhiyue Peak had always been a haven of tranquil years, peaceful and uneventful.
When Zhao Wuyan stepped out of the cave abode, the scene before his eyes left him dumbstruck.
The Immortal Cranes of Zhiyue Peak had all been plucked of their feathers, and the Spirit Apes were like startled birds, screeching incessantly.
Many Zhiyue Peak disciples had been defeated, lying haphazardly on the ground, gasping for air, bruised and swollen.
“What has happened here while your teacher was in closed-door cultivation?”
Zhao Wuyan’ s face turned dark.
His Zhiyue Peak looked as if it had been raided by disciples of the Demon Sects.
But this was Mount Shu, how dare the Demon Sects’ disciples run wild here?
A disciple struggled to his feet, his face as bitter as a gourd, “Master, the junior disciples from Qingyun Peak barged into our Zhiyue Peak, insisting on sparring with the disciples. We were no match and got beaten down, even our Spirit Beasts from Zhiyue Peak weren’t spared.”
“Qingyun Peak is bullying our Zhiyue Peak too much! Although Lu Changsheng’s disciple is freakishly talented, there’s no need to show off like this all the time. I am, after all, his senior brother!”
Zhao Wuyan too was a direct disciple of Taiyuan, the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, with seniority lower than big brother Li Changye, and higher than junior brother Lu Changsheng.
That his junior brother Lu Changsheng’s disciple would bully his way to Zhao Wuyan’s Zhiyue Peak, Zhao Wuyan thought Lu Changsheng had intentionally sent Lian to Zhiyue Peak to stir up trouble.
“I will find him for an explanation!”
With a thought, Zhao Wuyan’s Flying Sword left its sheath, as he took flight on his sword, heading to Zhiyue Peak.
Cangshan Peak, an Elder of Mount Shu in the Nascent Soul Realm was meditating in silence, when suddenly he smelled something burning.
He was shocked and opened his eyes, only to find his white beard catching fire.
“Who dares to make fun of me!”
The Cangshan Peak Elder hurriedly put out the fire, his once immortal qi-filled beard now singed and blackened.
Xiaozhu Peak, Dao Palace Realm’s Fairy QJngru, clad in a moon-white Daoist robe, graceful and elegant, was calm and collected until she saw the spiritual medicine she had planted for a hundred years—used to maintain her youthful appearance—had vanished, causing her to lose all composure.
Without that spiritual medicine, should a wrinkle appear on her face, it would be disastrous.
Shuiyun Peak, the ancient pine bonsai of Elder Tian Song was transplanted to the back mountain.
Sanqing Peak…
For a moment, Mount Shu was in a state of utter chaos.
Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion, a sly and ghostly figure flitted across the eaves, approaching the fifth level which only the Sect Leader and Supreme Elders were permitted to enter.
“Who dares to intrude into the fifth level of the Scripture Pavilion!”
“Seize them!”
Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion contained the various cultivation techniques and texts that Mount Shu had accrued over tens of thousands of years. At the fifth level, there were Dao Palace Realm Elders guarding it to prevent anyone from the Demon Sects from trespassing.
“Not good, I’ve been discovered!”
“Encase in a Prison of Drawing!”
The surrounding space was sealed off, but it was a girl with delicate features.
“This seems to be a disciple of Elder Lu from Qingyun Peak.”
“So it’s her.”
“How should we handle this?”
“The Sect Leader and the eldest senior brother have ordered that this girl must not be harmed. I think she was just being playful when she trespassed into the Scripture Pavilion on the back mountain, so a reprimand would suffice, followed by letting her go and forbidding her from returning.”
Four elders from the Dao Palace realm who were guarding the Scripture Pavilion appeared and, after some discussion, did not punish the Qingyun Peak disciple too harshly because the Taiyuan Sect Leader and Li Changye had forewarned.
“I won’t dare to do it again…”
Lian stuck out her tongue, genuinely surprised that the impressive pavilion on the back mountain was guarded by four Dao Palace realm elders.
Even if Lian was still naive, she now understood that this was an important area.
No wonder her master had specifically instructed her not to trespass into Mount Shu’s back mountain.
The back mountain was where the true foundation of Mount Shu lay, with dragons hidden among its tigers.
“You should leave quickly.”
“Unless one day you become the Sect Leader or one of the Supreme Elders of our Shu Sect, you will not be permitted to enter the fifth level of the Scripture Pavilion.”
The four Dao Palace realm elders of Mount Shu waved their hands, signaling Lian to leave the vital area promptly.
“Thank you, elders, for showing mercy.”
Lian was also sensible and left quickly.
With the presence of four Dao Palace realm elders, she could not cause any ruckus at her current level of cultivation.
“There is a familiar aura, how nostalgic.”
On the first level of the Scripture Pavilion, a janitor elder felt a familiar aura leave the Scripture Pavilion, his murky eyes seemingly recalling the past as his movements unconsciously slowed down.
The surrounding Mount Shu disciples found nothing strange.
Mount Shu had not only a group of elders and disciples but also a large number of servants. These servants were villagers from nearby Mount Shu who received a monthly stipend for doing various chores for the sect.
At Qingyun Peak, the place was bustling.
Never before had so many Mount Shu elders visited Qingyun Peak.
Elder Zhao Wuyan from Zhiyue Peak, Fairy Qingru from Xiaozhu Peak, Fei Ying Elder from Cangshan Peak, Tian Song Elder from Shuiyun Peak, Lingyue Fairy from Sanqing Peak…
Approximately more than a dozen elders had come to inquire and reproach.
Among them were five Dao Palace realm elders, with the rest being Nascent Soul realm elders.
Now, the master of Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng, was an elder of the Dao Palace realm and the direct disciple of the Sect Leader Taiyuan. The Nascent Soul realm elders still didn’t dare to question Lu Changsheng, but with five of their peers from the Dao Palace realm taking the lead, they were no longer afraid.
Moreover, leading them was Elder Zhao Wuyan of Zhiyue Peak, another direct disciple of Taiyuan and one of Lu Changsheng’s senior brothers.
“Why isn’t there anyone to receive us?”
Zhao Wuyan frowned.
There were only two disciples on Qingyun Peak, one was away on an excursion, and the other was always causing trouble—neither was present on Qingyun Peak right now, leaving only a bunch of servants.
These servants dared not receive a group of furious Mount Shu elders.
“Fellow seniors and elders, your visit to my Qingyun Peak truly graces this place with your presence.”
Lu Changsheng came out of his cave dwelling, radiating an aura of Immortal Qi, his expression warm and cordial, completely unbothered by the fact that he was being questioned by a group of Mount Shu elders.
“Junior brother, are you aware that your little disciple has caused trouble?”
Zhao Wuyan held back his anger. He was interested to see how Lu Changsheng would explain this.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze passed over those present and landed on the elder from Cangshan Peak whose beard had been singed. He could not help but smile.
Without a doubt, this had to be the handiwork of his own disciple.
It seemed not all disciples were as worry-free as his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
Lian, with the constitution of the Martial King Divine Physique, was full of energy, which if not expended, would be detrimental to cultivation.
As for how to appease the wrath of the many Mount Shu elders, Lu Changsheng already had a plan.
