Chapter 114 Hundreds of Elders Descend the Mountain

  Now that Luo Kaisan has spoken, these elders who were somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts looked at Luo Kaisan, wanting to see what he had to say.

  Luo Kai Shan continued: "The potential of the North Ming Kun Peng Fa Xiang, I believe that even if I don't say it, everyone is very clear. Now our Chong Xiao Sect has already made a mortal enemy with Zhao Suo, this person possesses the North Ming Kun Peng Fa Xiang. If we let him continue to develop, I believe that in just a few hundred years, whether our Chong Xiao Mountain can still exist will be a problem."

  Lu Kaisan's words suddenly awakened many elders who had not thought of these things, and these elders, no matter how high they were in their daily lives, could not deny Lu Kaisan's words. According to what Lu Kaisan said, it is likely that in just a few hundred years, Zhao Zhuo will develop and Chongxiao Mountain may really be destroyed by him.

  Don't think that killing one person, destroying a city, annihilating a family or exterminating a clan is something far-fetched. However, this absolutely isn't something impossible.

  As one's cultivation advances, the gap between each realm becomes increasingly large, and it is by no means something that can be balanced by numbers.

  At least in front of a Daoist master, even if there are many strong Qi refiners, they are just a group of ants. If they have a treasure to protect themselves, they can barely survive for a while. Once the treasure is slightly inferior, it will be a situation where both people and treasures are destroyed. It's simply a luxury to think that relying on outnumbering them would work, it's something that wouldn't even happen in dreams.

  An elder immediately said: "What is the origin of this Zhao Suo, please ask the sect master to send someone to kill him. No matter what, we must eliminate this disaster in its infancy and absolutely cannot leave such a scourge for the Chong Xiao Sect."

  "I don't know what kind of treasure Zhao Suo has on him, but I've used all my skills and still can't find any trace of him. I'm certain he's hiding somewhere nearby, yet somehow I just can't seem to find him."

  Everyone is not a fool, able to live until now, which one is not a clever person, immediately understand the meaning of Luo Kai's words, it is clear that Luo Kai has no way with Zhao Shuo, wants to borrow their strength to find Zhao Shuo.

  Things got a lot simpler after that, Luo Kai Shan didn't say anything explicitly, but everyone tacitly understood and passed on the images of Zhao Suo, Bai Jing and others to the elders present, as the crowd dispersed.

  Not long after, dozens or even hundreds of Chongxiao Sect elders rushed towards the direction where Funiu Mountain was located. With so many elders taking action together, Luo Kaisan really couldn't think of how much longer Zhao Xiao could hide.

  Jiniao and Qingque, the two elders who were previously sent by Luokai Mountain to hunt down Zhao Duo, also received a message from Luokai Mountain. When they learned that their target had actually killed Luo Tong, the two elders were almost incredulous. If it weren't for the fact that the person telling them this was Luokai Mountain himself, both of them would have thought someone was playing a joke on them.

  The two exchanged a glance, their faces filled with bitter smiles. They had only recently broken through to the Unity stage and were previously just ordinary attendants. Now, they had finally become elders. This time, they were sent out by Luo Kai Mountain, and all they had to do was catch a few people. What kind of task was this? If they could complete it perfectly, who knows, maybe they would even enter Luo Kai's eyes, and in the future, they would be considered people with backing in Chongxiao Sect.

  But now, they not only failed to capture Zhao Zhuo, but also let Zhao Zhuo kill Luo Tong. From Luo Kai Shan's icy tone, it can be heard that Luo Kai Shan is dissatisfied with the two of them. If it weren't for their status as elders, the two would have no doubt that Luo Kai Shan would have killed them in a fit of rage.

  Sweat broke out on their foreheads, and soon the two of them converted the fear in their hearts into anger, which was naturally directed at Zhao Suo, who had put them through a life-or-death ordeal.

  "Zhao Zhuo, you detestable little brat. If we don't kill you now, the two of us will find it hard to stand in Chongxiao Sect from now on."

  The two elders were shocked and angry, and they went straight in the direction of Mount Funiu.

  Let's not talk about the commotion caused by Zhao Shuo and Beiming Kuihuang for now, but rather let's talk about Zhao Shuo and his group who had been hiding in the treasure tower. After their initial nervousness passed, everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

  Seeing Luo Kai Shan was unable to find them, everyone dispersed and went their separate ways to cultivate.

  Beside the lotus pond, Zhao Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and a hint of joy appeared on his face as he looked at Bai Jing beside him: "Jing, I've sensed the presence of Bei Ming. Thank goodness, Bei Ming is safe."

  Bai Jing's face also showed a hint of joy, saying: "Being able to keep your life in the turbulent space flow, I have to say, your luck is really not bad."

  Zhao Duo smiled and said, "Needless to say, but Beiming is currently nowhere to be found, he himself can't even explain it clearly. Moreover, the sense of connection between Beiming and me seems a bit vague."

  "If that's the case, unless the distance between you and Beiming is too far apart, or there's a spatial separation, many possibilities can weaken the resonance between Benzun and Faxiang."

  Bei Ming initially chose to escape into the spatial turbulence, who knew where he would end up when he came out of it. The farther away the possibility would be greater, but in any case, now that Bei Ming is safe and sound, I can finally put my mind at ease.

  "Instead of worrying about Bei Ming, let's think about what we should do."

  Zhao Duo uncomprehendingly said: "What's wrong with us now? Isn't everything fine?"

  "Now being safe doesn't mean we'll be safe in the future. If Luo Kaisan isn't a fool, or if he can let go of seeking revenge against us, then it's not like there's anything to gain from staying here."

  Zhao Duo immediately reacted and said: "Your meaning is that Luo Kaisan may send more people to search for our whereabouts"

  Bai Jing said: "I'm not Luo Kai Shan, I naturally can't guess his thoughts. As the saying goes, 'prepare for a rainy day', otherwise when things happen, it will be too late to think of a solution."

  "Don't worry, even Luo Kaisan can't find us, let alone others"

  Bai Jingyu struck Zhao Zhuo and said: "You've forgotten about Lu Changgeng's matter"

  Zhao Duan's expression changed as he exclaimed in surprise: "You're saying that those cultivators skilled in tracking might be able to find us?"

  Bai Jing said, "Not to mention the Zhoutian Ruyi Purple Light Tower is just a top-grade postnatal spiritual treasure, even prenatally-formed spiritual treasures are not necessarily safe. With so many people in Chongxiao Sect, it's unlikely they don't have ways to track someone down."

  After listening to Bai Jingjing's words, Zhao Zhuo finally didn't have that old, godly air about him anymore, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo looked up at Bai Jing and said: "Jing, you tell me, what should we do next?"

  "If I were to say, our best bet would be to find a place of absolute safety and then focus on cultivating diligently. With the excellent cultivation conditions in this treasure tower, it would only take tens or hundreds of years for us to stand at the same level as the Chongxiang Sect, and they might not even have the ability to do anything to us."

  Zhao Duo bitterly smiled and said: "You say that it's not equal to saying nothing at all, what place is absolutely safe?"

  Embarrassed, Bai Jing smiled and said: "If it's really not possible, then let's just leave the Benyuan Continent"

  "Your meaning is that we can go to Star Ocean to temporarily avoid the storm!"

  Bai Jing said, "That's right. The starry sky and the ocean are boundless, and countless cultivators have entered it one after another. There are great dangers and great opportunities. In the eyes of some cultivators, it is a place of great disaster, but in the eyes of others, it is a land full of auspiciousness."

  Zhao Duo's eyes sparkled with bright light, obviously very moved.

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's distracted appearance, Bai Jing didn't disturb him. After a while, Zhao Zhuo said: "Your proposal is very good, but I still need to think about it. After all, you also said that the Star Ocean is extremely dangerous, and we will go there too. It's hard to predict whether we'll be lucky or unlucky."

  When Zhao Zhuo said this, Bai Jingyi let out a sigh of relief and said: "You can think like that, I'm at ease now. Although the Star Ocean can be avoided for the time being, unless absolutely necessary, I don't really agree with going to such a crisis-filled place as the Star Ocean."

  Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "I don't know what's going on outside either. You stay here to cultivate, I'll go out and take a look."

  Knowing that Zhao Shuo couldn't stay, Bai Jing also didn't persuade Zhao Shuo, but only reminded him to be careful, and then watched as he left the treasure tower.

  When Zhao Zhuo came out of the pagoda, the surrounding water flow was forced to open, and he was at the bottom of a large river.

  Withdraw the treasure tower, Zhao Zhuo rushed out of the river and looked around. The surroundings were quiet, occasionally hearing some movement from birds and beasts in the mountains.

  After making sure there was no danger, Zhao Zhuo let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "There are big mountains everywhere here, even if I were to be ambushed by Jing Yi, how many people could the Zhongyun Sect send, and what kind of transportation would they need to find me?"

  If Zhao Zhuo knew that the ones moving from Chong Xiao Sect were not ordinary disciples, but a group of elders, he might not be so relaxed, and might even immediately bring Bai Jingqiu and others to escape directly to Xingchen Sea.

  Although he didn't sense any danger, Zhao knew that if the people from Zhongyuan wanted to find him, then within tens of thousands of miles around, it would be the most dangerous place.

  Having determined the direction, Zhao Zhuo decisively quickened his pace with his head down, anyway just leaving this most dangerous place first.

  After rushing for half a day, according to Zhao Zhuo's speed of rushing on the road, it is likely that they have left the Great River by nearly 100,000 miles.

  After barely making it out of the endless mountains, what appeared before Zhao Zhuo was a somewhat mediocre town that could be considered small.

  The town was not crowded, but there were many powerful auras, which made Zhao Zhuo stop in his tracks as he prepared to enter the town.

  It's not near any famous city, it can be said that it's a remote and desolate place, even cultivators wouldn't normally set foot here. But now, such a secluded place has appeared with many cultivators, and their cultivation is not weak either. This inevitably raises other thoughts in Zhao Xiao's mind.

  Stroking his chin, Zhao Zhuo's eyes sparkled with a sharp light as he muttered to himself: "Could it be that the reaction of the Zhongsheng Sect is so fast, and the people they sent out have already spread out in all directions for tens of thousands of miles?"

  After thinking for half a day, Zhao Zhuo couldn't figure out how this remote place could have so many cultivators with decent cultivation levels. In the end, he simply shook his head and said: "What's the point of worrying about it? Since I can't understand it now, why not just sneak in quietly at night to investigate and then everything will be clear?"

  After making this decision, Zhao Zhuo found a secluded place to temporarily settle down, generally recovering his depleted energy, while thinking about how to sneak into the town at night.

  Night fell, and the sky darkened. The small town, which had seemed more lively than usual, gradually became quiet.

  A figure slipped silently into the town under the cover of night, it was Zhao Zhuo.

  Zhao's cultivation was not weak, and after entering the town, he clearly sensed the powerful aura emanating from those cultivators who had not concealed their auras.

  Most of these cultivators were in the Dharma phase, and some had even reached the Spiritual Communication phase. Zhao thought they were from the Chongxiao Sect, but when he clearly felt the aura emanating from them, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  These people have different auras, and it's obvious that they can't be from the same sect. Moreover, Zhao Zhuang has crossed hands with Luo Tong before, and even Luo Kai Shan has seen him. As for the unique aura on the body of the Chong Xiao Sect disciples, Zhao Zhuang still remembers it vividly.

  In Zhao's induction, there was not a single person in the entire town who was from the Chongxiao Sect. Of course, Zhao couldn't be certain, after all, if a cultivator deliberately concealed their breath, relying solely on passive induction, Zhao wouldn't be able to detect the existence of those cultivators who had hidden their aura. He believed that in this small town, there were definitely not just as many strong practitioners as he had sensed, and cultivators who had concealed their aura were also numerous.

  Just as Zhao Zhuo was thinking about the reason why these cultivators suddenly appeared in this small town, a sound of footsteps came from the front, and Zhao Zhuo flashed and hid silently at a corner.

  On the main street of the small town, two cultivators who looked like they were wandering around on their own were walking towards them from afar, swaying and staggering while leaning on each other's shoulders. From a distance, one could smell the strong scent of alcohol, it was clear that these two cultivators had drunk too much wine.

  Alcohol is nothing to cultivators, as long as they are willing, even if they drink until they're dizzy and disoriented, a single thought can completely expel the alcohol from their body, and they can recover instantly. Of course, many cultivators enjoy the intoxicating feeling of being drunk and won't drive out the alcohol from their bodies. The two in front of me should be this kind of cultivator.

  Zhao Zhuo couldn't figure out how so many cultivators had gathered in the town all of a sudden, and he didn't plan on stirring up any trouble either. As he watched two cultivators stumble by, he was about to continue walking forward when his ears perked up, and he stopped in his tracks. He turned around and quietly followed behind the two drunken cultivators.

  Only one of the cultivators was heard drunkenly saying: "Senior brother, Master asked us to come and investigate the situation at Fowu Cave Heaven. We've been investigating for several days now, shouldn't we go back and report to Master?"

  "The new book is on the shelves, it's all up to you guys now, those who can subscribe please do so, at least 300,000 words will be updated in a burst, let's make the updates come more fiercely! The more flowers (money) there are, the more updates there will be!"
