718: killed in battle

"A Moon Shadow Sect patrol team happened to be nearby and has already rushed over. It's safe here now."

Lin Yang and the others completely relaxed after reading the Moon Shadow Sect's message.

Their luck was good.

That patrol team regularly cleared the jian along the fixed route from Moon Shadow Sect to Baichi City.

This time, they weren't too far away.

Lin Yang reported their location and waited for the patrol team's flying ship to pick them up.

After some time, a flying ship appeared in the nearby sky.

Lin Yang removed his concealment, revealing the four of them.

The flying ship above sensed them and descended, picking them up onto the ship.

Only after stepping into the flying ship did a sense of security truly allow the few to settle down.

Afterward, Lin Yang and the others learned from Senior Brother Qing Mo, the captain of the patrol team, that they were the only four survivors out of nearly thirty people who had fled.

This news surprised and silenced the four.

Especially Shi Jie, Li Liping, and Xin Hao; their gazes towards Lin Yang became even more grateful.

If not for Lin Yang's help at the time, they certainly would not have survived.

"How did you escape then?" Qing Mo subtly inquired, seeking information.

Shi Jie and the other two glanced at Lin Yang, and seeing no reaction from him, they recounted what had happened.

After listening, Qing Mo and the other patrol members all looked at Lin Yang, with a hint of surprise:

"You can actually severely injure a Ninth-level Dao Above?"

There is a significant power gap among Dao Above from the first to the ninth level.

Normally, being able to fight beyond one to two levels, or at most three, is already the limit.

However, Lin Yang was able to injure that Black-robed person at the ninth level, which was extraordinary.

Especially since Lin Yang's concealment technique was also quite remarkable.

Lin Yang calmly said, "It was also thanks to the three Senior Brothers who burned their Dao power and fought desperately to create an opportunity for me; otherwise, I would have had a hard time making a move."

"Even so, it's still very impressive." A faint light flickered in Qing Mo's eyes; among this batch of new disciples, a truly good talent had emerged.

The other team members also sighed in their hearts, thinking that those who came out of the Space-Time Tree were indeed more powerful.

"You all should return with us first."

Subsequently, Qing Mo piloted the flying ship and turned back, returning to Moon Shadow Sect.

Shi Jie and the other two asked curiously, "What about Senior Brother Zhan Ning? How is his situation?"

Qing Mo replied without turning his head, "Senior Brother Zhan Ning was severely injured and has already returned alone. We came specifically to rescue you, but we didn't expect only four of you to survive."

Shi Jie and the other two fell silent again.

Lin Yang then asked, "Senior Brother Qing Mo, were the people who attacked us from Tiankun Sect?"

He was more curious about that.

Qing Mo paused for a moment before saying, "It's hard to make an absolute conclusion because there's no conclusive evidence. The other party was very cautious and even disguised themselves, but it's most likely Tiankun Sect's people. Only they would ambush new disciples like you in this manner."

"What about us? Will we retaliate?" Lin Yang asked again.

He wanted to use this to explore Moon Shadow Sect's way of doing things.

Whether they always retaliated or mostly endured.

Qing Mo turned around and smiled, "Although there's no absolute evidence, this grudge must definitely be avenged. Although you are not yet official disciples, the sect will not let those people die in vain. If someone bullies our Moon Shadow Sect members, no matter what, the sect will seek justice."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang nodded silently.

Moon Shadow Sect's style of doing things was quite acceptable.

They retaliated for grudges and would likely be more protective of their own.

Of course, this might also be due to the sect's face and reputation.

"Then, Senior Brother Qing Mo, how will the sect take revenge?"

At this moment, Shi Jie and the other two also asked.

Qing Mo smiled indifferently, "Naturally, an eye for an eye."

He didn't say much, but Lin Yang and the others understood that Moon Shadow Sect would most likely retaliate in kind.

This grudge would definitely not be easily let go.

"Tiankun Sect..." Lin Yang was also pondering.

He had already decided to join Moon Shadow Sect.

That itself made him an enemy of Tiankun Sect.

Coupled with this incident, there was even less to say.

If given the chance, he would definitely scheme to kill some Tiankun Sect members.

The journey was silent.

After returning to Moon Shadow Sect, Lin Yang immediately expressed his desire to join the sect early.

Shi Jie and the other two did the same.

Moon Shadow Sect naturally did not refuse and was quite pleased.

After all, Lin Yang's strength was very good, and the fact that Shi Jie and the other two survived also indicated their certain luck.

The sect was quite welcoming to such people.

After a simple initiation ceremony, Lin Yang and the other three officially became disciples of Moon Shadow Sect.

Although they joined the sect at the same time, Shi Jie and the other two voluntarily considered themselves junior brothers, calling Lin Yang "Senior Brother."

Lin Yang knew he couldn't refuse, so he accepted.

And the other newly guided individuals soon learned about Lin Yang and their attack.

Many people also began to join the sect early... After becoming official disciples, Lin Yang moved out of his original residence to the official disciples' residence.

Even for ordinary disciples, the environment of their residence was much better than that of temporary disciples.

The Dao Rhythm was even richer.

Lin Yang was not in a hurry to undertake sect missions but instead used the good environment of his residence to hone himself.

Although he wouldn't necessarily be ambushed every time he went out, a cultivation base at the first level was indeed a bit weak.

"The cultivation grounds within Moon Shadow Sect are still very useful for cultivators who are new to the Primal Ancient Continent."

Lin Yang patiently went into seclusion for a period of time... Moon Shadow Sect's retaliation against Tiankun Sect came quickly.

Not long after going into seclusion, Lin Yang received messages from Shi Jie and the other two, telling him that Tiankun Sect disciples who went out were also ambushed, suffering heavy casualties.

Of course, there was no evidence to prove that Moon Shadow Sect was behind it.

But Tiankun Sect had put out a message, though not explicitly, the general meaning was to warn disciples of "a certain sect" to be careful when going out.

The meaning of "a certain" was self-evident, referring, of course, to Moon Shadow Sect.

Moon Shadow Sect also issued an internal notice, advising disciples with weaker cultivation not to go out casually in the near future.

"The two sects are fighting so fiercely?" Lin Yang was a little surprised.

This was no different from an all-out fight.

They were just short of a direct confrontation.

"Senior Brother Lin Yang, we originally wanted to go out and earn some contribution points and money. Relying solely on the sect's subsidies is too little, but given the current situation, going out is very dangerous..."

Shi Jie and the other two were very distressed.

They hadn't expected things to be so difficult now.

Sometimes, the three of them even felt a little regret.

Among the sects in this area, Moon Shadow Sect and Tiankun Sect were the most fiercely opposed.

If they hadn't chosen to join Moon Shadow Sect, even if they stayed in Baichi City as rogue cultivators, though difficult, they wouldn't constantly face the risk of being killed and could only hide within the sect.

To this, Lin Yang merely said, "Since you have joined the sect, don't think too much. The sect will certainly not let this situation continue indefinitely, and Tiankun Sect will certainly not either."

"Otherwise, if the two sects keep ambushing ordinary disciples, it won't benefit either side. I estimate the situation will improve after some time."

"Let's hope so." Shi Jie and the other two sighed.

Lin Yang no longer had the desire to continue his seclusion.

Simply secluding himself was indeed too slow.

The improvement of cultivation after Dao Above was not as fast as before.

"I need to find a way to get more yuan sand."

yuan sand is not only a currency.

It can also be absorbed by cultivators.

It contains a faint Dao power, and absorbing it can help improve cultivation.

Although very little, and absorption has limits, it accumulates over time.

This is also why yuan sand became a common currency.

"Get yuan sand, collect materials for Dao Fire Pill, or even buy Dao Fire Pill!"

Now, there was basically only one path before Lin Yang, and that was to make money.

Cultivation required yuan sand, and buying Dao Fire Pill also required yuan sand.

But how to make money was a problem.

On this day, Lin Yang was thinking, and at the same time, he was looking through the missions released by the sect, trying to select suitable ones to note down and do later.

Suddenly, a dull bell rang, accompanied by a heavy voice:

"All fellow disciples above the Dao Fire Realm, please proceed quickly to the main hall of the sect."

The bell rang nine times, signifying that a major event had occurred.

Lin Yang's expression changed slightly.

It sounded like it wasn't good news.

At the same moment, he received a message from Shi Jie:

"Senior Brother Lin Yang, this is bad! Grand Elder Pei Fei has died in battle at the border!"

"What?!" Lin Yang's eyes narrowed. (End of Chapter)
