82: Move the clan?

"Stop arguing, all of you!" True Man Xuan Wei pressed his knuckles against his throbbing temples, his voice shaking the pillars, causing dust to fall.

The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly silenced everyone; even the rustle of clothes was clearly audible.

"Although the Sect was saved from destruction this time, all ten thousand acres of Spiritual Fields have been tainted by the Blood River," True Man Xuan Wei looked at the scorched earth outside the hall, a bitter taste in his throat. "For the sake of tens of thousands of Disciples, I have decided to find another Spiritual Vein and re-establish the Sect."

"Senior Brother!"

"Sect Master!"

Xuan Lun and several Elders' expressions changed, and they spoke anxiously.

Xuan Wei waved his hand: "This is the only way forward. The Blood River's defilement has seeped into the Spiritual Vein, corroding all the Spiritual Fields, and even the Sect's Spiritual Vein has suffered significant damage. It will be incredibly difficult to restore it. We can't let our Disciples starve, can we?"

True Man Xuan Wei was also helpless. For Cultivation at lower Realms, Spiritual Meals and Spiritual Food were necessary, and by the True Essence Realm, Spiritual Qi and Medicinal Pills were required.

Now, the Yuyang Sect could not provide these two fundamental necessities for its Disciples, which was already threatening the Foundation of the Sect.

Spirit Medicine was still manageable; he could find ways to acquire medicinal ingredients, even if they were more expensive.

But Spiritual Rice could only be cultivated with a Spiritual Vein, and the Yuyang Sect had tens of thousands of Disciples, consuming hundreds of thousands of catties each month. Even if some smaller Sects nearby had surplus grain to sell, how could they fill such a large deficit?

To purify the Blood River's defilement and restore the Spiritual Fields would require the Spirit Rain Technique to be cultivated to the Perfection Realm, with a Revered Master of the Clear Spirit Rain continuously casting the rain for over a month to cover the entire Spiritual Field.

However, even if there were a few Disciples in the Sect who had cultivated the Spirit Rain Technique to such a level, their strength was limited. How could these few True Essence Realm or even Condensing Aperture Realm Disciples manage Yuyang Sect's ten thousand acres of Spiritual Fields?

Moreover, if the Blood River was not entirely flushed away, even if some Spiritual Fields were managed, they would still be affected by the surrounding Blood River's defilement.

This left Xuan Wei utterly helpless, forcing him to make the decision to relocate the Sect.

Just as everyone was about to start arguing again, a streak of light rapidly approached from the horizon. Everyone's Divine Sense looked over, and they were immediately delighted.

The person arriving was Xiao Zhuo.

Almost the next moment, Xiao Zhuo had already reached the entrance of Zhenyang Hall.

"Greetings, Sect Master! Revered Master! All Senior Martial Uncles!" Xiao Zhuo's steps were steady and powerful, his expression calm and natural, not showing any disrespect despite the numerous high-ranking Yuyang Sect members gathered there.

"You brat!" Xuan Lun's palm, like a cattail fan, slapped Xiao Zhuo's shoulder, making his clothes rustle. "You still remember to come back?"

"Revered Master, your Disciple went to eliminate a hidden danger for our Yuyang Sect, not to wander around!" Xiao Zhuo smiled helplessly.

"Eliminate a hidden danger?" Xuan Lun murmured slightly, then his pupils trembled. "You went to Hundred Demon Mountain?"

"Revered Master is indeed clever!" Xiao Zhuo's smile deepened. He looked around the hall and said with a resounding voice, "Hundred Demon Mountain has been completely leveled by me, and Silver Moon is dead!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in an uproar.

Many Elders, including the Peak Revered Masters, exchanged glances, exclaiming repeatedly.

Everyone present had a deep understanding of the strength of Hundred Demon Mountain and the terror of Silver Moon. Previously, Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Changkong had teamed up, using Laughing Sword One's Sword Talisman, and Xiao Zhuo's final burst of burning his Divine Soul, to force Silver Moon to abandon his Physical Body and Divine Soul to escape.

Now that Xiao Zhuo said Silver Moon was dead, everyone immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief. After all, Silver Moon had once been able to recover even after his primordial elixir was Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class), so they were all afraid he would make a comeback.

Now, however, there was no need to worry.

"Junior Martial Nephew Xiao! Since you can single-handedly level Hundred Demon Mountain and kill Silver Moon, what Realm are you in now?" Xuan Wei's eyes flickered slightly as he asked seriously.

Xiao Zhuo was stunned, not expecting the Sect Master's thoughts to jump so quickly: "Your Disciple has already reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone once again became noisy, and at the same time, joy filled their faces.

"The revival of our Yuyang Sect is hopeful! The Heavenly Dao truly shows us favor!" A white-bearded Elder was practically overjoyed.

"Haha! Good, good, good! I really didn't misjudge you, I knew you'd amount to something!" Xuan Lun's large palm repeatedly slapped Xiao Zhuo's shoulder, making "slapping" sounds. If it were a Condensing Aperture Realm Cultivator, they would probably have been knocked apart by him.

Li Miaoyi and Situ Ming also came over to congratulate him.

Xuan Wei's face also surged with joy: "Junior Martial Nephew Xiao, do you know the Spirit Rain Technique?"

"Spirit Rain Technique?" Xiao Zhuo was truly stunned this time. Does the Sect Master's topic jump around like this?

"Reporting to Sect Master! Your Disciple has never cultivated this technique..."

Xuan Lun's expression shifted slightly, having already understood Xuan Wei's meaning. The Spirit Rain Technique could save the Sect's Spiritual Fields. As long as the Blood River's defilement was removed, the Spiritual Fields could be restored. Then, after waiting for three months, the Sect's Spiritual Rice would naturally be replenished.

Moreover, after the Blood River's defilement was removed, the Spiritual Vein would gradually recover. Although the medicinal garden was severely damaged and most of the Spirit Medicine died, as long as the Spiritual Vein recovered, they could simply replant.

The Yuyang Sect naturally wouldn't need to relocate.

"If you haven't learned it, learn it now!" Xuan Lun took out a Jade Slip, pressed it to his brow, and a brand new Spirit Rain Technique Cultivation Jade Slip was inscribed. He casually threw it to a bewildered Xiao Zhuo, "Hurry up, the future of the Yuyang Sect depends on you!"

"Ah?"

Xuan Wei, however, smiled and explained the Sect's current predicament. Xiao Zhuo suddenly understood and, without further ado, immediately read the Spirit Rain Technique Jade Slip.

With his current insight and Comprehension Ability, such a minor technique was truly understood with a single glance.

As soon as the Spirit Rain Technique appeared on his panel, it immediately reached Minor Achievement.

However, since Xiao Zhuo agreed, Xuan Wei, Xuan Lun, and even Situ Ming and Li Miaoyi all had great confidence in him. Only some puzzled Inner Sect Elders looked suspicious, wondering why the Sect Master, who had just been talking about relocating the Sect, hadn't mentioned a single word to Xiao Zhuo about it.

After Xiao Zhuo agreed, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Sect Master, Revered Master, all Senior Martial Uncles, I have something very important to say."

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's serious expression, Xuan Wei also put away his smile and asked solemnly, "What is it?"

Xiao Zhuo looked at everyone and spoke about the Taiyi Sect Secret Realm, only omitting the matter of the Demon Abyss Passage.

After listening, most people were quite happy. After all, it was a great thing for the Human Race to have another powerful Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) giant.

Xuan Wei, however, frowned deeply.

Everyone discussed some trivial Sect matters for a while longer before dispersing.

Xuan Wei, however, kept the Revered Masters of the Four Peaks and Xiao Zhuo. After Xuan Wei took over Zhenyang Peak, the Revered Master of Wuzhen Peak was handed over to Immortal Master Xuan Yun.

Only six people remained in the main hall, and only then did Xuan Wei speak: "Junior Martial Brothers and Junior Sister, what do you think about the Taiyi Sect matter?"

"Is Senior Brother referring to the fact that our Sect was once a subordinate Sect of Taiyi Sect, or..." Li Miaoyi's voice trailed off as she probed.

"The matter of being a subordinate Sect is true. In fact, our Sect's first generation Sect Master was an Inner Sect Elder of the Taiyi Sect," Xuan Wei shook his head, directly stating the answer. "What I want to know is what you believe the emergence of Taiyi Sect this time will impact our Human Race."

"What's there to say about that? Of course, it's a good thing!" Xuan Lun took a sip from his wine gourd and said casually.

Situ Ming, however, glanced at Xuan Lun and said sternly, "There are both good and bad! The reason why the demon race hasn't annihilated our Human Race is certainly due to their concern that Prince Hong might perish with them. More importantly, the Human Race only has one Prince Hong. As long as they don't push too hard, he poses no threat to the demon race. But now..."

"But now there's an additional Immortal Master Azure Heaven, and Immortal Master Azure Heaven is extremely powerful, even capable of suppressing the Blood Ancestor, a Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) Cultivator. The demon race is very likely to start another great war!" Xuan Wei took over the conversation, expressing his own view.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement, while Xuan Lun's eyes deepened, and his Heavenly Eye suddenly flickered between his brows.

Everyone noticed his abnormality and looked over in unison.

"Junior Brother, have you had some premonition?" Xuan Wei naturally knew the wondrous use of Xuan Lun's Heavenly Heart Divine Ability and quickly asked.

Xuan Lun, however, remained silent for a long time. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, he finally came back to his senses, looking at Xiao Zhuo with a strange gaze.

Xiao Zhuo felt his hair stand on end from being stared at and couldn't help but ask, "Revered Master, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

"You brat, you've been hiding it quite well..." Xuan Lun struggled for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out half a sentence.
