Chapter 260: Chapter 150 Demon Race Thoughts, Qianhe Secret Skills (4K)

Zheng Fa looked at Master Qian standing before him.

This person seemed a bit overweight in his memory, yet now his face had thinned significantly, indicating he had not lived well in recent days.

Though his disciples behind him bore no visible wounds, their expressions were extremely panicked, evidently having undergone a calamity.

He glanced around and noticed a few Jiushan Sect disciples watching from a distance; these disciples were initially unaware of the Demon Race’s attack on the mountain, and it was naturally inappropriate to discuss such matters in public.

Zheng Fa helped Master Qian up and said, "Master Qian, please come inside to talk!"

A group of people walked into Zheng Fa’s Courtyard.

After Master Qian freshened up, he looked somewhat more composed.

Only then did Zheng Fa ask in detail: "Qianhe Sect was attacked by the Demon Race? Why haven’t I heard about this?"

Master Qian grimly smiled and said, "That’s because, from top to bottom in Qianhe Sect, except for us, there are no survivors left! Who could possibly spread the information?"

Zheng Fa’s expression tightened slightly, and he exchanged a concerned look with Zhang.

"When did this happen?"

"Two days ago," explained Master Qian, "The day before yesterday, Master Fufeng of the Spirit Manipulation Sect visited our sect, claiming to want to purchase some Yellow Rice..."

"Spirit Manipulation Sect?" Zheng Fa frowned slightly, "Haven’t you heard that the Spirit Manipulation Sect might be colluding with the Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

"We’ve heard... but, hasn’t everyone left them unchecked?" Master Qian bitterly smiled and said, "Besides, Spirit Manipulation Sect is, after all, a Nascent Soul Sect, and we at Qianhe Sect are but a minor sect..."

Zheng Fa fell silent.

This was yet another downside of the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s system—

Although Jiushan Sect had already informed all sects and factions about Mystic Turtle Master from Spirit Manipulation Sect being a spy from the Demon Sect.

The Spirit Manipulation Sect immediately performed a ’righteous separation’—declaring themselves victims as well!

Furthermore, spies from the Demon Sect were indeed abundant, only that the Spirit Manipulation Sect was better mixed among them.

Whether people believed it or not actually didn’t matter, the issue was also that nobody wanted to offend Spirit Manipulation Sect, after all, wasn’t the Mystic Turtle Master primarily targeting Jiushan Sect?

In the end, it was because Tongming Master usually didn’t involve himself, and all factions under the Hundred Immortals Alliance had their own agendas, unwilling to stick their necks out.

"Actually...I had advised our Sect Leader," Master Qian bitterly smiled and said, "But the Sect Leader said, given that we at Qianhe Sect are but a minor sect skilled only in farming, and our storerooms are poor as can be, what would the Demon Sect want from us?"

"..."

This statement surprisingly held some truth.

"Then what happened?"

"Later, Master Fufeng somehow figured out the critical points of Qianhe Sect’s grand formation, collaborated with the Demon Race from inside and out, and attacked our sect..." said Master Qian, forcing a smile, "I don’t mean to belittle myself, but I actually saw a Nascent Soul Demon King... our Qianhe Sect’s highest cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, for them to go to such lengths, really..."

"For what purpose?"

Zheng Fa also felt some sympathy; this truly was a death most puzzling and untimely.

"What happened after that?"

"I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage and could only flee with these disciples, luckily, we didn’t encounter any Great Demons along the way..."

"How did you know that no one from your sect survived?"

"Our Qianhe Sect has several hidden locations, that if disaster strikes, we would all gather there... I went around, and didn’t see a single person."

Zheng Fa nodded gently, still somewhat puzzled about the annihilation of Qianhe Sect, but did not further pursue this topic and instead asked:

"Master Qian, you came seeking me out, for what matter?"

Master Qian suddenly knelt before Zheng Fa, his eyes red and voice choked, sobbingly said:

"My Qianhe Sect has encountered this great disaster, I hope your sect, being part of the same Hundred Immortals Alliance, would avenge the lives of over a hundred of our sect members and reclaim our sect’s territories!"

As he spoke, two lines of tears streamed down Master Qian’s eyes.

"Our Qianhe Sect has always been cautious, fearing to offend any mighty foes we cannot contend with, yet in a single day, only these disciples and I are left, it’s truly..."

He seemed unable to continue, bursting into howling sobs.

Zheng Fa’s heart could not bear it, feeling even more apologetic inside—mainly because he suspected that Jiushan Sect might be related to this incident.

But...

"Master Qian, this is no small matter, it’s not something I can decide alone," Zheng Fa candidly stated, "Allow me to discuss with my fellow masters and then we talk, you guys rest here in my courtyard for a moment, does this suit you, Master Qian?"

Master Qian quickly said, "Of course! As long as Master Zheng doesn’t find us bothersome."

...

Zheng Fa led several people to the guest rooms, then signaled Zhang and Junior Master Huang with his eyes, the three of them silently entered Zhang’s courtyard.

Zhang threw out several silence talismans, isolating the sound inside and outside the courtyard.

Junior Master Huang immediately spoke up: "We can’t go! This is aimed at us."

She was not lacking in cunning, it was only that she didn’t understand Zheng Fa and Zhang’s new theories.

Now, she could naturally discern the oddness of the situation.

Zheng Fa nodded as well, adding:

"Just like what Master Qian said, their Qianhe Sect isn’t worth such elaborate schemes; the actions of this Demon Race feel like using a giant axe to kill a chicken."

"On the other hand, those careful people somehow didn’t notice this group of them fleeing?"

Ever since Zheng Fa’s Divine Sense had progressed further, he knew how strong the sensory abilities of a Golden Core cultivator were.

Not to boast, but it was virtually impossible for Master Qian and his people to run away without being detected by him.

Not to mention a Nascent Soul Demon King?

What a joke.

"They must know that my Jiushan Sect is on good terms with Qianhe Sect and are aware that Master Qian is their leader; the most likely place for him to seek help would be towards my Jiushan Sect."
