Chapter 765: Chapter 13 - The Skilled Ones are all Women [Single Update]_1

"Elder Mayfly?"

Upon hearing Chu Liang recount the series of related events, Wang Xuanling’s eyebrows knitted. He began to realize the gravity of the situation.

"We should first call upon Ziyang and Lin Bei to extricate themselves. Your alter ego can do the same when the opportunity arises. Then we notify Ancestor Wu Chao and together, we annihilate the Ruins Shenxu and Elder Mayfly." He slowly asserted, "That would be the prudent course."

"Head Master Uncle, I have another idea," Chu Liang responded, voicing disagreement, "Why don’t we simply counter their scheme with a scheme of our own?"

"Oh?" Wang Xuanling asked sincerely, "And how do you propose we do that?"

If it were any other young disciple, Wang Xuanling would not maintain such an open mindset.

Although Chu Liang is a junior, it is not an overstatement to call him the current Master of Red Cotton Peak — even though he only holds the title for ten years, everyone knows that Shu Mountain would not reclaim it once his tenure ended. They might at best ask Chu Liang for a minimal reinstatement payment to maintain the status quo.

This is because the benefits that Red Cotton Peak brings to Shu Mountain in his hands far outweigh those of anyone else’s.

The high ranks of Shu Mountain had ceased to see Chu Liang as just a junior as long as six years ago. Instead, they began treating him with equal respect, a prize Chu Liang earned through his incredible achievements.

"If Navy Mister aims to raise a force to overthrow Wu Chao, he would at least need the support of cultivators from the Eighth Realm. Take, for example, the Far West Demon Clan, Great Master of Mars, and the Western Sea Demon Sect ..." Chu Liang’s eyes blazed as he continued, "These Eighth Realm cultivators often keep their activities secret, and even if they appear, they normally send their alter egos. But for a fight, they are very likely to come in person. Wouldn’t this be a great opportunity for us to wipe out these evil forces?"

"Taking such action ..." Wang Xuanling pondered on it.

The reason he failed to consider this angle was entirely due to the constraints imposed by the levels of cultivation. In the perception of many cultivators, killing an Eighth Realm cultivator is practically unthinkable.

It’s universally accepted that Tianyuan cultivators are extremely difficult to kill unless harnessed with a divine artifact.

Even the instance when Empress Feng killed the Great Lake Demon King, was only because it had already been gravely wounded by the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, allowing Empress Feng the opportunity to deal the death blow.

And if the previously demoted Xuan Yinzi is considered, then her record of killing two strong cultivators who had reached Tianyuan with merely Seventh Realm cultivation would be seen as incredibly good fortune, possibly finding a place in history books.

But right now, Shu Mountain doesn’t have a divine artifact, and it’s improbable that the rest of the Nine Heavens would risk sending out divine artifacts again, especially after the recent disaster at Yunque Temple.

Probably guessing his train of thought, Chu Liang suggested, "While we may struggle to summon a divine artifact, we have two top Tianyuan cultivators in Venerable Baize and Ancestor Wu Chao in our favor. There’s every chance they could make a significant contribution. These malicious cultivators are not easily located, and in the light of this rare opportunity, even if the task is challenging, we ought to give it a try."

After some consideration, Wang Xuanling didn’t disagree.

After all, as Chu Liang pointed out, whether it’s possible or not to kill those high-ranking evil cultivators - that’s something to be attempted first. Just luring those elusive culprits out of their hiding places is rarely an easy feat.

Wang Xuanling wasn’t one to back down. He immediately gave a nod, "Alright! You will accompany me to report this matter to the Sect Leader. Even though the Sect Leader cannot act rashly, Shu Mountain now has both Daoist Yan and Venerable Baize in its ranks. We are already incredibly formidable."

Having said this, the pair swiftly headed for the Unbounded Palace.

Upon hearing this comprehensive plan, Master Wen Yuan gazed at Chu Liang with a hint of humor, "You always manage to bring some innovative ideas to the table."

With a decisive thud on the table, he declared, "It’s settled then! I will summon Baize and Yan Zi to seize this opportunity to trim the wings of the malicious forces. I’ll personally write a letter to Ancestor Wu Chao. Additionally... I will write a letter seeking assistance from the Regent Leader."

As his mind started to reel, he had already figured out who he could ask for help.

Having already called in quite a few favors from other Immortal Sects in the course of rescuing Chu Liang, and those favors were yet to be repaid, it wouldn’t be wise to seek their help again. Although exterminating evil is a cultivator’s duty, whether these sects would be willing to join this risky endeavor is uncertain.

But the help of the Imperial Court would be different. When it comes to eliminating evil forces, their responsibility is indeed heavier than that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands combined. Moreover, Mars recently stirred up a commotion in the court, angering the Imperial Family. Given any chance to assassinate the Great Master of Mars outside of Nine States, the Regent Residence would certainly not miss it.

As he wielded his brush in the air, lines of golden characters were etched into the jade slip. Just as he finished writing the final two letters, Daoist Yan and Baize had arrived.

Unexpectedly, they weren’t the only ones to arrive.

"Sect Leader uncharacteristically summoning Yan Zi. Is this a sign of some good news?" Empress Feng was the first to stride in, but not before engaging in some casual banter with the others present. "Eh? Acolyte? You’re in here as well? Old Deng, you still alive?"

"..." On seeing who had arrived, Wang Xuanling’s face darkened. Though he felt literate enough to refute her, he swiftly decided it wasn’t worth the effort and simply rolled his eyes in response.

He used to be able to suppress the other parties with his status as the head of various peaks, but now, since Empress Feng decimated the Great Lake Demon King and circled the mountain 42 and a half times, he can no longer muster any strength.

"Ah Feng has arrived too." Wen Yuan chuckled, "This matter isn’t suitable for you to get involved in, how about staying with me to guard Shu Mountain instead? This matter is equally important."

"Oh, come on! Isn’t it all just fighting? What’s unsuitable about it?" Empress Feng didn’t spare any courtesy in the face of Master Wen Yuan.

"This time, it’s not just about the fight, we need to play the bad guys. Can you do it?" Wang Xuanling interjected from the side.

"Huh." Empress Feng scoffed with a laugh, "If you want me to play something else, I might hesitate, but to play the villain?"

She turned her head and glanced at Chu Liang, with pride, she said, "Tell him, disciple, do I need to act? Everyone, take a good look, do I need to act?"

"Indeed, you don’t need to. Uh..." Chu Liang nodded his head, not daring to voice the second half of his sentence.

But, should one be proud about this sort of thing?

...

On the following morning.

Inside the building of the Ruins Shenxu, the Navy Master greeted the incoming "Xuan Yinzi" from Shu Mountain lavishly, with a group of subordinates.

Wang Xuanling was dressed in the previous Breath Concealment Robe, walking in the forefront with Dragon Striding Tiger Steps, followed by three tall and slender figures. They also wore Breath Concealment Robes, hiding their faces under the hood, only a dense shadow was visible.

With the promotion by Chu Liang, Shushan people are getting more comfortable with using the Breath Concealment Robe.

"Good heavens! Sect Master Xuan Yinzi, it’s been so long since our last meeting, I’ve missed you!" The Navy Master took a step forward with a smile, warmly welcoming Wang Xuanling.

Wang Xuanling was quite puzzled, he didn’t communicate much with the Navy Master last time, why would he be so affectionate?

But soon, he understood the reason.

The Navy Master waved his hand back, "Yesterday, I had a great time with your disciples. If our age difference weren’t so large, I’d love to be their brother. You, their guide, must also be my kindred spirit."

Wang Xuanling glanced at Chu Liang and Lin Bei. Both were master networkers in their cultivation journey. He instantly understood the Navy Master’s change of attitude.

He responded with a faint smile, "Of course, if Mister Navy has any orders, we will respond promptly."

"Who are these people?" The Navy Master turned to look at those who were standing behind Wang Xuanling.

At such a crucial moment, Wu Chao could attack at any time, his vigilance towards strangers was still there.

"These are some new subordinates I recruited." Wang Xuanling waved his hand.

As he waved his hand, the three of them lifted their hoods one after another.

The faces of Baize, Daoist Yan, and Empress Feng - cold and bright faces - were revealed. The Navy Master couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh." He turned his head and looked at Xuan Yinzi teasingly, "Why are they all women?"

Yeah.

Wang Xuanling also sighed in his heart.

All he did was bring over the most skilled fighters from Shu Mountain, except the Sect Master.

Why are all the strong ones in Shu Mountain women?
