Chapter 40: Rescuing Taiyi!

"Ai,I hope this doesn't cause misunderstanding with Senior Brother," Dantai Yue sighed. She felt like she was a freshman reporting to college in her past life. Others just had their parents see them off, carrying their luggage at most, while she had dozens of relatives accompanying her. It was truly embarrassing! The key point was that it wasn't her intention!

She originally intended to go to the Taiyi Sect by herself and then focus on cultivation...

Suddenly, nine Elders and one Supreme Elder accompanied her, which was beyond the norm!

"We've been traveling for over ten days in a row. We've finally reached the Great Qian Dynasty. This place is too remote," the Supreme Elder sighed, saying, "Let's rest in the nearby city for the night and set off again tomorrow."

"Alright," Dantai Yue nodded.

Then, the flying demonic beast slowly descended into the city below. Everyone leaped off, and then the Supreme Elder produced a beast-control bag, directly sucking the massive flying demonic beast into it.

Afterward, they began to stroll around the city, looking for accommodations.

However, they found something unusual.

In this small city on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty, there were many cultivators of the Wheeling Sea Realm coming and going, making it quite lively. Occasionally, they even saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying past.

"Huh?" The Supreme Elder exclaimed softly, curious. "If I remember correctly, in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Wheeling Sea Realm cultivators are equivalent to the elders of sects, and Foundation Establishment cultivators are equivalent to the supreme elders of sects. Why are there so many Wheeling Sea Realm cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators passing through such a small border town?"

The other Elders became curious upon hearing this.

Dantai Yue furrowed her brows slightly, contemplating the possibilities.

"Could it be that Master has successfully obtained the Chaos Source Gold, and then the news leaked out?" she wondered.

Dantai Yue speculated in her heart.

Soon, the group found an inn and temporarily settled down. They inquired with the innkeeper about the situation.

Inns were magical establishments in the fantasy world. Although they were merely places for lodging, the innkeepers were often well-informed individuals. Despite generally having low cultivation levels, inns always attracted powerful individuals, making them the most knowledgeable about the latest news.

The Supreme Elder didn't have a condescending attitude toward ordinary people. He happily approached the innkeeper and asked with a smile, "Innkeeper, what's happening? Why are there so many powerful cultivators of the Wheeling Sea Realm in this remote border city of the Great Qian Dynasty? I even saw several Foundation Establishment cultivators passing by. Could it be that some secret realm or treasure has appeared?"

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper chuckled and said, "It seems you gentlemen have come from afar, at least not from the dozens of dynasties surrounding the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Indeed, we're not," the Supreme Elder chuckled.

The innkeeper, being sociable, immediately began to explain, saying, "This is something you may not know about. It's truly shocking!"

After teasing them a bit, the innkeeper began his explanation:

"This matter begins with a mediocre sect."

"I don't know when, but a mediocre sect called the Taiyi Sect appeared in the cultivation world of the Great Qian Dynasty. Despite being mediocre, such sects usually only bully ordinary people. However, the leader of the Taiyi Sect is not an ordinary person!"

"Not long ago, this leader took in Ji Xuan, a traitor from the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty, as his disciple. Later on, he even destroyed the millennium-old heritage of the Great Qian Dynasty's royal family. It is said that he obtained the Combat Character Technique in the heritage."

"Originally, the strongest cultivator in this small city was only at the ninth stage of the innate realm. However, since news of the Combat Character Technique's appearance has spread, cultivators from dozens of surrounding countries have been flocking to the Great Qian Dynasty. Consequently, this small city has become prosperous."

Listening to the innkeeper's story, not only the Supreme Elder was astonished, but the other nine Elders, as well as Dantai Yue, all exclaimed in unison, "The Combat Character Technique?!"

The Combat Character Technique was one of the Nine Secrets!

To appear in such a remote place!

How was that possible!

Dantai Yue was also puzzled. She remembered that in the original book, there was only mention of Chaos Source Gold. How could the Combat Character Technique appear?

As everyone was shocked, the innkeeper continued to smile and said, "Alas, I think the Taiyi Sect is finished. With so many experts from dozens of dynasties besieging the Taiyi Sect, I heard there are even loose cultivators at the Heaven Pill Realm. The leader of the Taiyi Sect probably won't last long. Innocent bystanders are implicated in another's crime~~"

"Indeed," Dantai Yue nodded and said, "Elders, Supreme Elder, time is of the essence. Let's not rest and hurry to rescue Master from the Taiyi Sect."

"Rescue Master..." The Supreme Elder muttered silently in his heart. He glanced at the other Elders and transmitted his voice, "Let's go. After all, he's the Master of the Young Master. If we rescue him and see the gap in strength, the leader of the Taiyi Sect probably won't have the face to remain the Master of the Young Master anymore. If he doesn't cooperate... we can always remind him of our lifesaving grace."

One of the Elders furrowed his brows slightly and transmitted his voice, "How about... we deliberately delay the time? By the time he's killed by the cultivators..."

"No!" The Supreme Elder immediately refused, transmitting his voice, "If we do that, once the Young Master grows up, he will definitely not spare us. He might even arouse hatred towards the sect. It's absolutely inappropriate. Old Third, if you come up with such a bad idea again, I'll skin you alive!"

"Yes!" The Third Elder apologized quickly.

"Then let's do it this way," the Supreme Elder nodded slightly.

"Agreed," the other Elders responded one after another.

Everyone reached a unanimous decision.

"Then let's not rest. Let's hurry to the Taiyi Sect," the Supreme Elder said. He opened the beast-control bag, and a huge flying demonic beast appeared out of thin air on the street. Everyone immediately left the inn, leaped onto the beast, and rushed towards the direction of the Taiyi Sect.

The innkeeper looked bewildered, his heart thumping.

"Damn, what kind of powerful individuals was I chatting with just now? At the very least, they must be at the level of Foundation Establishment Ancestors! Yes, Foundation Establishment Ancestors!"

Thinking of the huge size of the flying demonic beast, the innkeeper couldn't help but shiver and tremble.

Soon, the flying demonic beast turned into a black dot in the sky, carrying the group from the Star Pavilion toward the Taiyi Sect.
