The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 513: Chapter 268: Sky Sword Sect’s Lord Ling Xiao_1
The other Golden Core Real People looked at Lin Yi, shaking their heads and sighing with sympathy. After all, this was a disciple who had just become a Golden Core cultivator, and had been practicing in seclusion within the sect. He had not experienced the cruel realities of the Cultivation World.

With Jade Illusion Zen Ren captured, this was only the beginning. If they did not agree to the demands of the three heretical Nascent Soul cultivators, even more horrific, and inhumane events would unfold.

Watching the events outside the formation, the illusion of Green Jade Zen Ren gave a long sigh, “Ah, Junior Brother Yun Yi, I’m sorry. As soon as Elder Xuan Qing informed me that Sister Jade Illusion was not in the sect, I immediately sent a message. Why she didn’t return to the sect in time, I don’t know.”

Lin Yi sat down as if struck, but his mind was whirling. Keeping Jade Illusion Zen Ren from returning to Qing Yun City was no easy feat.

He had previously used the Eye of Emptiness to discover the evil aura hidden within Qing Yun City. However, this aura was left behind after the blood sacrifice of unknown creatures and should not be harmful to people. If it was harmful, he had ways to deal with it.

So, there was another possibility — a Nascent Soul True Monarch was hiding in Qing Yun City. Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could silently control a Golden Core Real Person.

Although he possessed three Nascent Souls and incomparable combat power, he was not omniscient or omnipresent.

If a Nascent Soul True Monarch used special concealment techniques within a close distance of the Liu Yun Sect, he could still sense it. However, his perception would weaken with increased distance.

Just like these three Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the heretical sects. They made no effort to conceal their auras. As soon as they entered the perimeter of the Liu Yun Sect, he sensed them directly.

As for the injured Lord Xuan Qing, who had concealed his aura to prevent being tracked, Lin Yi was only able to sense him when he was near the outer sect of the Liu Yun Sect.

Just now, he indeed felt an unfamiliar Nascent Soul aura. It seemed his speculation was correct. Besides the three heretical sects, there was one more from the Ten Major Sects that participated in this action. Their task was probably to capture Jade Illusion Zen Ren and stop her from returning to the sect.

As for the whereabouts of Jade Illusion Zen Ren, there was no need for any spy to report it. Even cultivators or merchants who lived nearby knew that there was a powerful cultivator from the Liu Yun Sect living inside.

With three Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the sky and Lord Qing Yu not concealing the formation array, the disciples in the sect could see everything clearly. The three Nascent Soul True Monarchs emitting immense pressure, and the beautiful Jade Illusion Zen Ren, the object of many disciples’ dreams, were within sight.

Jade Illusion Zen Ren was calm, looking nothing like a captive.

“We owe a lot to our friend Star Plucker from Canghua Sect this time. Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to capture Jade Illusion Zen Ren, the number one cultivator in the Cultivation World. Heh heh.” Saying this, Lord Xuan Ming from Xuan Yin Sect reached out and stroked Jade Illusion Zen Ren’s face, revealing a lecherous smile.

At this moment, Monarch Huji from the Sky Demon Sect laughed and said, “Star Plucker, why don’t you come over and say hello to our friends from the Liu Yun Sect.”

Star Plucker from the Canghua Sect flew into the sky indifferently, “Friends from the Liu Yun Sect, your sect doesn’t have a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so you shouldn’t keep this place. Anyone can attack you. I advise you to open the formation array while you can to save your lives. Delaying for Golden Sword Zen Ren to breakthrough and develop a Nascent Soul is impossible.”

The Liu Yun Sect was filled with an angry roar, “Old man Star Plucker, you, a cultivator of a righteous sect, have become the running dog of the three heretical sects. Your ancestors must be spitting blood in the Upper Realm. You shameless running dog!”

Inside Liu Yun Hall, many Golden Core cultivators were cursing, “The traitorous pawn of the Canghua Sect is utterly detestable!” Divine Fire Zen Ren was so angry fires erupted from his body. Facing the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the three heretical sects, he remained calm. Facing Hua Yang’s betrayal, he stayed composed. But facing the betrayal of Canghua Sect, he lost his patience.

“A bunch of contemptible people. Xuan Yin sect has already created chaos with evil spirits in the Immortal City of Canghua Sect. How could they turn to those enemies?” The Drunken Immortal raged and hammered the table.

“Now, it’s a total of four Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Even if all the remaining Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the righteous sects came to help, it would only be four. Moreover…” Xuan Sha Zen Ren shook his head and sighed, despair flooding his heart again.

All of the other Golden Core cultivators were also filled with dread. It was improbable for all the other righteous sects to come. If one or two Nascent Soul True Monarchs came, it would be considered fortunate already.

That Canghua Sect’s Star Plucker Zen Ren laughed lightly, “Lord Xuan Qing, you’re still alive. Don’t slander people by saying I’ve sided with the heretical sects. Your Liu Yun Sect is undeserving of its reputation. I’m just here to return you to your rightful place. Whether Elder Cang Hua would spit blood at this, I do not know. But I suppose you’re spitting blood right about now.”

“Looking at our past relationship, I suggest you tell Lord Qing Yu to surrender and open the formation array. I can guarantee as long as the disciples of your sect plant prohibitions, I can let you live. Otherwise, you will face death.”

Xuan Qing said coldly, “Wishful thinking. We, the righteous sects, would never stoop so low as to be like you, a running dog who fears death.”
