714: Artificial inducement

It wasn't until the spaceship was completely far from the reception point that everyone gradually recovered from their shock.

They were all Dao Above existences, having cultivated all the way to this point, and it could be said that they had encountered all sorts of dangers.

But an encounter like the one just now, where they were completely powerless to resist, was rare in their lives.

If the spaceship hadn't left quickly, everyone would have been torn to shreds by the Nì Swarm.

The two guys who were almost killed by the Nì Swarm were even more fortunate, as if they had escaped a disaster, and repeatedly thanked Yuan Mu for saving their lives.

Although Yuan Mu had just withstood an attack from two Nì Swarm, and suffered some injuries on his arm, he merely waved his hand, telling the two not to worry and to adjust their mindset.

Seeing this, Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

This Yuan Mu was indeed as Rong Feng had said earlier; although a bit cold, he was a very good person.

After all, to put it plainly, they weren't truly fellow disciples yet; they were essentially strangers who had only met once.

Yet, Yuan Mu still risked getting injured to save those two.

This was enough to show the character of Elder Yuan Mu.

"While the character of one elder isn't enough to represent the entire sect, it can at least reveal some things. That Moon Shadow Sect seems pretty good."

Lin Yang also felt a faint anticipation about joining the Moon Shadow Sect.

Since he began cultivating, he had never officially joined any sect or power; this was his first time.

Joining a sect with a decent style of conduct was always a good thing.

"Junior brothers, you can now rest for a while. The spaceship has individual rooms with their own spaces, and each of you can have one. From here back to the sect, at the speed of the spaceship, it will take about two years."

Once everyone's emotions had mostly settled, Rong Feng spoke again.

The spaceship looked small, but its interior space was very large, and everyone could be allocated an independent space.

This made everyone very happy.

Suddenly, someone asked, "Rong Feng... Senior Brother, does it really take two years just for the journey?"

Rong Feng smiled and nodded:

"This isn't like within time-space, where with your cultivation, a single thought can get you there in an instant."

"The Primal Ancient Continent is vast, incredibly vast, beyond imagination. Each of the three major regions is immensely expansive, beyond what you can currently imagine. Sometimes, traveling on the Primal Ancient Continent is a very time-consuming affair."

"Because the Primal Ancient Continent is not only large, but also has powerful Heaven and Earth Rule power suppressing it, making it difficult to fly fast here."

Everyone immediately understood.

Then, someone else asked, "During the journey, will we encounter Nì Swarm like the one just now?"

Rong Feng nodded again: "It's possible, but not absolute. However, you can rest assured that the spaceship is inscribed with a high-level Formation Array from the sect. As long as it's not an exceptionally powerful Nì Swarm attacking, you will be absolutely safe inside the spaceship."

Saying this, he smiled as he scanned everyone:

"And on this journey back, powerful Nì Swarm have already been swept away many times, so you don't need to worry; it's still very safe."

Hearing this, everyone finally relaxed and returned to their rooms inside the ship to rest.

Lin Yang didn't rest for too long before coming out of his room again.

Although the room had its own space, he couldn't see anything outside.

He wanted to observe the scenery of the Primal Ancient Continent.

There were many others with the same idea; except for a very few, most people reappeared outside their rooms after a short rest, each enjoying the scenery along the way outside the ship.

The spaceship's speed was extremely fast, with mountains and rivers swiftly passing by before their eyes.

Several days later.

Someone began to contact others on the spaceship.

Because they were all admitted to the sect in the same batch, many people believed they needed to get acquainted, or even form alliances, to avoid being bullied by the older disciples in the sect after joining.

Rong Feng said that fellow disciples were forbidden from infighting, but also mentioned the need for competition.

So, older disciples bullying newer ones was a very possible occurrence.

Joining the sect in the same batch was fate; they should be closer and help each other.

Lin Yang also received some contacts, and he didn't refuse, exchanging communication methods with those who came to meet him.

In this unfamiliar place, having more friends, or rather allies, especially fellow disciples, was very necessary, at least so he wouldn't have to worry about being schemed against to death.

There was a person named Xiao Feng who was extremely good at socializing, and many people nominated him to be the leader among their batch of new disciples.

Lin Yang had no intention of seeking the limelight and tacitly agreed to this.

Afterward, everyone agreed to find a time to gather and exchange information once they joined the Moon Shadow Sect and became familiar with the situation.

At that time, Xiao Feng would inform everyone of the time and place for the gathering... Days passed one by one.

Unconsciously, more than a year had passed since they departed from the reception point to return to the Moon Shadow Sect.

They were less than a year away from reaching the Moon Shadow Sect.

On this day, Lin Yang was silently enjoying the scenery along the way.

Suddenly, he felt the ship shake, and then Rong Feng's slightly hurried voice came:

"Junior brothers, some Nì Swarm are approaching ahead. Please do not approach the edge of the ship, and make sure you do not leave the inside of the ship."

"Huh? We've encountered Nì Swarm again?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Lin Yang also immediately released his senses to investigate.

Soon, more than twenty Nì Swarm appeared within his perception.

Among them, six had particularly powerful auras.

"They are Nì Swarm at the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm!"

After sensing them, Lin Yang's face couldn't help but change.

The auras of those five or six Nì Swarm were basically identical to the Nì Swarm at the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm encountered at the reception point, and two of them even had stronger auras, suspected to be even more formidable.

Nì Swarm themselves were extremely powerful; among those of the same level, human cultivators were almost no match for them.

More than twenty ordinary Nì Swarm were enough to bring disaster to everyone.

Not to mention there were five or six at the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm, especially two of them seemed to have surpassed the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm.

Although Rong Feng had said there was a Formation Array on the spaceship, everyone was still a bit worried at this moment.

Because Yuan Mu was only at the late stage of the Divine Fire Realm.

Even if he manipulated the Formation Array, he might not be able to withstand the attacks of five or six Nì Swarm at the peak of the Divine Fire Realm.

Even if he could withstand them, the cost would likely be very high.

It was not impossible for deaths to occur.

Lin Yang's eyes flickered, and he quickly withdrew his senses, retreating to the middle of the ship.

These Nì Swarm were very sensitive to perception.

Constantly sensing would make one a priority target for the Nì Swarm's attack.

Yuan Mu also reappeared at the bow of the ship, his expression very grim.

This route was usually very safe, rarely encountering Nì Swarm.

However, this time, not only did they encounter them, but there were also Nì Swarm suspected to be at the peak of the Divine Fire Realm.

This made Yuan Mu feel very unlucky, as if his luck was extremely bad.

"Everyone, withdraw your senses and stay inside the ship!"

Yuan Mu shouted, activating the ship's Formation Array to envelop the entire spaceship.

Rong Feng stood by, his expression very serious.

Clearly, the appearance of these Nì Swarm meant big trouble.

"Notify the sect to send reinforcements," Yuan Mu ordered Rong Feng, his gaze growing sharper.

He alone couldn't handle this Nì Swarm, so he could only try his best to ensure no one was killed or injured before reinforcements arrived.

Moreover, he always felt that the appearance of these Nì Swarm was somewhat unusual.

This route was usually swept and cleared by people from the sect to ensure the safety of new recruits.

Occasionally, a lone Nì Swarm could be understood.

It had been a long time since a Nì Swarm had appeared.

Not to mention there were Nì Swarm suspected to be at the peak of the Divine Fire Realm.

This was very abnormal.

Rong Feng's gaze was also sharp, something no one had seen before, as he scanned other directions, seemingly investigating something.

As the Nì Swarm approached, Yuan Mu suddenly frowned and said, "It's the Tiankun Sect's doing. These Nì Swarm were most likely led here by them."

Hearing this, Rong Feng was startled: "Elder Yuan, can you confirm it was the Tiankun Sect who led them?"

"I sensed a trace of karma belonging to the Tiankun Sect on some of the Nì Swarm. It should be some guy who has a grudge against me who led these Nì Swarm here," Yuan Mu said with a cold expression.

Rong Feng was slightly startled again, then angrily said, "They want the Nì Swarm to attack the spaceship, ambush and kill the new disciples being brought in, cutting off our main source of new disciples for this rotating reception, and if possible, kill you, Elder Yuan?"

"It should be so, otherwise they wouldn't go to the trouble of attracting so many powerful Nì Swarm!" Yuan Mu snorted coldly.

Listening to their conversation, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Although they were all humans and should stand united against external threats, the struggle between different sectarian forces was truly cruel. (End of Chapter)
