303: Chapter 303 Come On, Everyone
Flying Cloud Peak
A hollowed-out mountain.
Inside the mountain was a network of crisscrossing tunnels connecting every Immortal Cave.
The space at the very bottom was the Immortal Cave where the Peak Revered Master of Flying Cloud Peak resided.
Peak Master He Fenghua sat alone on a stone chair, holding intelligence regarding the recent movements of the Demonic Path forces.
At the same time, rows of stone shelves stood around him, also storing various kinds of intelligence.
Flying Cloud Peak could be considered the intelligence agency of Yuanxu Mountain; it was responsible for collecting intelligence on the cultivation world, especially intelligence related to and regarding Yuanxu Mountain.
“Junior Brother, this place of yours is so full of twists and turns; it’s still just as hard to navigate.”
Master Yun Hua's figure appeared before Peak Master He Fenghua as she spoke to him.
“Senior Sister.”
Peak Master He Fenghua immediately put down the intelligence in his hand, a slight bitter smile appearing on his face.
“What? Am I not welcome?”
Master Yun Hua looked at Peak Master He Fenghua with a somewhat playful smile.
“You are welcome, of course you are welcome.”
Peak Master He Fenghua quickly suppressed his bitter smile; how could he dare not welcome her?
“This doesn't seem like you. Where is the He Fenghua who thought about defeating me all day long back then?”
Master Yun Hua teased.
“Everyone has their moments of youthful arrogance, Senior Sister,”
Peak Master He Fenghua said.
Back then, he had also been blinded by the word 'Genius' and sought out Master Yun Hua, wanting to defeat her.
The result was not a single victory.
One could say he won once, but essentially, that match couldn't be counted as his win.
He only found out later that Master Yun Hua had intentionally let him win.
His clashes with Master Yun Hua had nearly shattered his Dao Heart, and it took him nearly a hundred years to smooth things over.
It could be considered a form of tempering for himself.
“Senior Sister, what is the matter?”
Peak Master He Fenghua asked.
One does not visit for no reason.
Based on his understanding of his Senior Sister, Master Yun Hua would definitely not come to Flying Cloud Peak for no reason.
“I need you to help me spread a message.”
...
A period of three months.
In three months, if those holding the keys to the Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove did not come to Guqing Ravine,
Then Master Yun Hua would directly destroy the Treasure Trove key.
Guqing Ravine was where the Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove was located. Because of the Formation, it was very difficult for them to open the Treasure Trove with external force.
They could only rely on the keys.
However, currently, the whereabouts of only three keys were clear.
Master Yun Hua had one.
Gao Chi had one.
Hongchen Pavilion had one.
The whereabouts of the remaining two were unknown.
Master Yun Hua didn't want to wait any longer either,
So she simply used Flying Cloud Peak's channels to throw this information directly out there.
She didn't want to wait anymore.
Rather than waiting, it was better to force the other two key holders out herself.
If they didn't come, then no one should think about getting this Treasure Trove or Ancestor Qingxuan's Legacy.
Shangji Sect
“This move is quite decisive.”
Gao Chi laughed.
He was holding that key in his hand.
Coincidentally, he didn't want to wait any longer either.
After all, with this key in his hands now, there were still people in the Sect who had opinions about it.
He wasn't the only one interested in Ancestor Qingxuan's Legacy.
Hongchen Pavilion
“Inverse Demon Cult.”
Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan toyed with the key in her hand, a playful smile on her face as she spoke.
“Old Ancestor, the Blood Fiend Sect and Soul Refining Sect both want a slot.”
Someone reported to her.
Regarding the Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove, the key holder could not only enter themselves but also bring others along. The number of slots for companions was four.
In other words, one key could bring five people into the Treasure Trove.
This was why several Demonic Path Sects had come knocking one after another upon learning that Hongchen Pavilion had a key.
“If they want it, fine, but they must bring something to trade for it.”
Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan said with a seductive look.
Wanting to get it for free was clearly impossible.
“Yes.”
...
“Revered Master, playing this trick again, are we?”
Lin Ming stayed alone in the mountain forest at night, enjoying nature.
As one of the key holders, Lin Ming was also aware of this message.
After all, it had spread from within Yuanxu Mountain.
This, however, plunged Lin Ming into a dilemma.
Lin Ming was wondering whether or not to go to this Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove.
He did have a key in his possession.
Supposing he didn't want to go, he could also sell this key.
He believed it should fetch a good price.
There were still three months to prepare; he still had time to think carefully about whether to go to this so-called Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove.
...
Three months passed quickly.
Outside Guqing Ravine
Quite a few people gathered here, mostly drawn by Master Yun Hua's words.
They wanted to see if this Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove was real.
“Have you heard? This Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove only allows cultivators in the Spirit Treasury Realm and below to enter.”
“Really? It can be played like that?”
“I know about this. It's said that something went wrong with the Formation, so only Spirit Treasury Realm cultivators can enter. If anyone higher goes in, the entire Immortal Cave might be buried with them.”
“Is it that terrifying?”
“If that's the case, then it's getting interesting.”
“This time, these Sects will likely send out their strongest Spirit Treasury Realm cultivators.”
“...”
A flurry of discussion broke out.
Among the current key holders, only one party had arrived so far: the people from the Shangji Sect, led by Gao Chi.
Gao Chi appeared very composed; he casually found a place to sit.
He sat down,
Closing his eyes to rest his mind,
Ignoring the world outside.
Before long, Master Yun Hua and the others also appeared.
Master Yun Hua, Lin Ming, Su Lianxue, Yan Jingtong, Rong Xiu, and Ding Yi.
Apart from Master Yun Hua, the other five were all Spirit Treasury Realm cultivators.
When Lin Ming heard he was to enter the Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove on behalf of his Revered Master, he still wanted to refuse.
But in the end, he yielded to his Revered Master's choice.
Enter the Inverse Demon Cult Treasure Trove and obtain Elder Qingxuan's Legacy for his Revered Master.
Immediately after, Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan made her appearance.
Her graceful figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
For a moment, most eyes, regardless of gender, fell upon Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan, captivated by her.
“Liu Ruoyan.”
At this moment, Gao Chi opened his eyes. His gaze landed on Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan as he directly revealed her identity, a hint of wariness showing in his eyes.
“Liu Ruoyan? The Hongchen Pavilion Master, Liu Ruoyan?!”
Someone realized and exclaimed.
The Demonic Path force, Hongchen Pavilion.
Liu Ruoyan was precisely the Pavilion Revered Master of Hongchen Pavilion, and her strength had also reached the first stage of the Nirvana Realm.
After confirming Liu Ruoyan's identity, some people felt the urge to retreat. After all, she was the type who devoured people without even spitting out the bones.
If she set her sights on you, you probably wouldn't even know how you died.
“This time, my Hongchen Pavilion wants to join. I trust you two have no objections,”
Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan said, holding the key as her gaze swept across everyone present.
