155: The crisis of the Changsheng Sect is beginning to emerge.

"It has really been a troublesome autumn lately. The Grand Elder of the Great Blade Pavilion was actually killed a few days ago. I wonder who did it?"

"Who knows? Too many things have happened recently; it's overwhelming!"

"First, the Green Sparrow Sect was exterminated, and then an organization called the Demonic Paths First Hall popped up, actually building their Sect on the ruins of the Green Sparrow Sect!"

"This Demonic Paths First Hall is very powerful. Since they appeared, they have been opposing Changsheng Sect at every turn. In these past two months, several people from Changsheng Sect have been killed by them!"

"Isn't that right? Moreover, Liuyun Sect has directly sided with the Demonic Paths First Hall, helping them deal with Changsheng Sect together."

"Fortunately, the Great Blade Pavilion has a good relationship with Changsheng Sect. With the two allied, they have managed to stabilize the expansion trend of the Demonic Paths First Hall!"

"I think the death of the Grand Elder of the Great Blade Pavilion was very likely the work of the Demonic Paths First Hall!"

"I think so too. After all, based on the events of the last two months, the Demonic Paths First Hall doesn't follow a fixed pattern; they are both righteous and evil!"

"Just hearing the name alone makes me feel like it's not a good Sect."

"As far as I know, the Demonic Paths First Hall seems to come from Beta State, but I can't guarantee if that's accurate!"

Ji Wuchang sat in the tavern, having ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. He listened to the crowd's discussion with a solemn expression.

He had spent most of his time recently in the dense forests, wanting to see if he could find any high-level Vicious Beasts.

He naturally couldn't win against them, but he had Ji Yaoyao as a fighter; it would be a waste not to use her.

But unfortunately, the highest he encountered was only a Rank 4 Vicious Beast, which he naturally looked down upon.

Ji Wuchang did not expect that so many things would happen in just over two short months.

He had originally thought the Demonic Paths First Hall would not appear in Bo Yun State; it seemed he had thought too simply.

Ji Wuchang had a premonition that the target of this Demonic Paths First Hall might very likely be himself.

Because he was a member of Changsheng Sect, their targeting of the Sect was very likely to lure him out!

Ji Wuchang finished paying the bill and turned to leave.

Regardless, he had to rush back to Changsheng Sect; he needed to go to Wind and Thunder Valley to temper himself.

Just as he stepped out of the tavern, Ji Wuchang felt a Divine Soul sweep toward him, and then he saw a familiar figure.

"It's you!"

Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected to encounter the old woman by Xiao Xueqing's side, Xiao Xuan, once again!

Xiao Xuan gave a cold snort and then spoke coldly, "Ji Wuchang, you certainly made this old woman search hard for you!"

Ji Wuchang was very calm, then cupped his fists and said, "Senior Xiao, I wonder what business you have with me?"

Xiao Xuan glared at Ji Wuchang in annoyance and then spoke indifferently, "You think this old woman wanted to find you?"

"If it weren't for the Life-Sharing Curse on the Young Miss, I wouldn't have come to Bo Yun State at all!"

"I heard some news that the Demonic Paths First Hall is preparing to attack Changsheng Sect to make them hand you over!"

"I advise you not to return to Changsheng Sect recently; otherwise, it won't be so easy to leave when the time comes."

"The Demonic Paths First Hall has a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Soul Splitting Realm, as well as several Soul Splitting Realm followers. Your Changsheng Sect simply cannot stop them!"

"I think you should come with me. The Young Miss also quite appreciates you. Once in Jiang Chuan State, with your talent, you should be able to distinguish yourself quickly!"

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but be greatly shocked, and the expression on his face darkened!

"Thank you for the information, Senior Xiao. I will remember this favor. But I cannot go with you; I must inform the Sect of this matter as soon as possible!"

"Changsheng Sect has existed for thousands of years; it isn't something that can be exterminated just like that!"

After Ji Wuchang finished speaking, he cupped his fists to Xiao Xuan and turned to leave.

Xiao Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, but seeing this scene, a hint of appreciation couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

Xiao Xuan had been investigating the extermination of the Xiao Family recently. Although she suspected Ji Wuchang did it, she had no evidence at all.

Furthermore, the Young Miss had said that Xiao Fan possessed a heavy treasure related to the Divine Soul that must be found.

But Xiao Xuan had been busy for so long and had found nothing.

"Ji Wuchang, I'll tell you one more piece of news. There is someone in the Green Sparrow Sect who belongs to the Sword Alliance!"

"This person has a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Soul Splitting Realm. Upon hearing that the Green Sparrow Sect was exterminated, he was furious."

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should have already returned to Bo Yun State, and likely has companions following him."

"The enemies your Changsheng Sect has to face this time aren't just the Demonic Paths First Hall!"

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but turn around and bow to her.

"Thank you, Senior Xiao. Consider this a favor I owe you. Once I have the ability in the future, I will surely repay it tenfold!"

After Ji Wuchang finished speaking, he stayed no longer and turned to leave!

He was anxious, fearing that if he returned late, Changsheng Sect would already be unrecognizable.

Therefore, he no longer delayed on the road, heading straight for Changsheng Sect while constantly performing the Wind-Thunder Void Step.

In these past few days, his Check-in occasionally rewarded him with a year of cultivation base, all of which Ji Wuchang used on the Wind-Thunder Void Step. He felt his speed had increased quite a bit again!

Ten days later, Changsheng Sect appeared before Ji Wuchang.

Seeing that everything in the Sect was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether in his past life or this one, he regarded Changsheng Sect as his home; after all, Revered Master Meng Caihong was very good to him!

However, Ji Wuchang soon sensed something different—the guards had been significantly strengthened!

Just as he reached the mountain gate of Changsheng Sect, several Divine Souls swept over him, and then a figure appeared not far away.

"Greetings, Fourth Elder! Congratulations to Fourth Elder on your Breakthrough to the Soul Splitting Realm!"

Ji Wuchang hurriedly saluted Yin Shuyao and then cupped his fists in congratulation.

As soon as Yin Shuyao appeared, he could feel that the aura on her was more than twice as strong as before.

Without needing to think, it was certain she had reached the first level of the Soul Splitting Realm.

Yin Shuyao nodded, then said with a smile, "The outside world has been restless lately. It's good that you're back!"

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang's heart instantly grew stern, but much of his worry was also set aside.

From Fourth Elder Yin Shuyao's reaction, it could be seen that Changsheng Sect must have also received some news and was already prepared!

Ji Wuchang said no more. After cupping his fists to Yin Shuyao, he flew into Changsheng Sect and headed straight for Little Bamboo Peak.

"Wuchang, come to me!"

Just as Ji Wuchang appeared within the range of Little Bamboo Peak, Revered Master Meng Caihong's voice reached his ears.

He did not hesitate and went straight to the courtyard where Meng Caihong was located.

As soon as he arrived, he saw his Revered Master already standing at the door, looking at him with a smile!

After simple pleasantries, Ji Wuchang repeated what Xiao Xuan had told him to Meng Caihong.

Ji Wuchang had originally thought his Revered Master would be shocked, but to his surprise, she only nodded slightly and then said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Old Ancestors have arranged everything!"

Hearing these words from his Revered Master, Ji Wuchang completely breathed a sigh of relief!
