Chapter 123: The sect is shaken and a storm is coming
"You said that you saw traces of demons from outside the territory at the ruins of Yunjian Sect?"
Yuan Qingshi, who was dressed in red robe, stared at Lu Ming and Shen Mo with burning eyes, and asked seriously.
"Reporting to the sect master, this matter is absolutely true..."
Lu Ming was still in shock, and followed Shen Mo to tell all the Linjiang Sect senior figures present about the matter.
Even though they usually hold high positions and have great authority, they still have the air to remain calm even if the mountain collapses.
But after hearing the news, everyone was in an uproar.
"This matter is not allowed to be reported to the entire sect for the time being to avoid panic among the disciples!"
In an extremely solemn atmosphere, Yuan Qingshi finally spoke: "Dear elders, I would like to contact the other four major sect leaders to discuss how to deal with it. I hope you will go together."
"That's natural!"
Although these supreme elders don’t take much care of things on weekdays.
However, the return of the demon from outside the territory is no small matter and will change the pattern and current situation of the entire Chiyan Kingdom's immortal world.
Of course they will accompany you.
"Three peak masters, after you go back, take a look at the situation of the disciples in the peak and draw up a list."
"The sky is about to change. This world is not peaceful. We need disciples to walk around the world and follow the traces of the demons."
..........
Exit from the Palace of Eternal Life.
Shen Mo and Lu Ming walked down the footpath, both of them feeling a little lost.
"Lu Yao and others have never escaped..."
He murmured, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although Shen Mo had some guesses about escaping back to his sect before, he still thought there was a glimmer of hope.
But now, except for him and Lu Ming, the other senior brothers have never come back.
It is almost certain that he has died.
The devil is coming.
The peaceful environment he had always been familiar with seemed to have changed.
In the future, we may face the death of more classmates, or even... the death of people close to us.
Lu Ming is not much better than Shen Mo.
Although he has a mature and steady personality, he has never experienced any real bloodshed.
His cousin Lu Yao, in order to help him escape, took the initiative to entangle the extraterrestrial demon, so that he could find a way out.
After returning to the sect, every time he closed his eyes, his cousin's back would appear.
"If we two run away together, neither of us will be able to escape! I'll stop this devil for you, you run away first!"
"Lu Ming, you are the only hope for the rise of our Lu family!"
"Live well and honor our Lu family!"
........
Since leaving the Palace of Eternal Life, Shen Mo and Lu Ming have been extremely silent, without having a single conversation.
They all need some time to digest these things.
Due to various considerations, the sect leader temporarily banned the news of the reopening of the Demon Channel.
Shen Mo and Lu Ming were both ordered to keep their mouths shut, and even the news of Lu Yao and others' deaths were not allowed to be told to anyone.
Linjiang Sect obviously needs to discuss how to deal with the other four immortal sects.
The specific outcome of the negotiation is not accessible to people at Shen Mo's level.
However, through the atmosphere within the sect, as well as some special trends and news, one can still feel the aura that the storm is about to come.
"Shen Mo, in the past two days, I found that several core disciples have left the sect after a long journey."
Cao Ren was drinking spiritual tea in front of the stone table in his cave, and said leisurely: "There is a rumor in the sect that these core disciples have discovered a secret treasure and have joined forces to hunt for the treasure."
"Treasure hunting?" When Shen Mo heard Cao Ren's words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He didn't know the inside story, but Shen Mo knew it.
The strength of the core disciples is all at the Linghai realm, and they can be regarded as the mainstay of Linjiang Sect.
They all left the sect at the same time, which was probably an arrangement made by the Linjiang sect's senior management after discussions with the four major immortal sects.
However, I don’t know if these people are leaving simply to evacuate, or where they are performing tasks?
Shen Mo was slightly uneasy about the future situation.
"You have nothing to do in the sect. You like to inquire about news. Do you know if there is anything abnormal outside recently?"
Shen Mo also took a sip of the spiritual tea and asked.
This spiritual tea enters the throat, and after the slight bitterness dissipates, there is a fragrant aftertaste.
Normally, when Shen Mo drinks this spiritual tea, his spirit is usually soothed and he is as leisurely as Cao Ren.
But today, he couldn't calm down.
"Abnormal situation?"
Cao Ren raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Do you know something?"
He could see that Shen Mo was restless and obviously had something on his mind.
"Nothing."
He shook his head and did not try to tell Cao Ren about the secrets of the extraterrestrial demon.
Not to mention that the senior leaders of the sect have already issued a gag order.
Just telling Cao Ren this news would probably scare him to death.
Moreover, based on his words, within half a day, the news would spread throughout Linjiang Sect.
"No matter how the situation in the world of immortality changes, your own strength is still the basis and reliance of everything."
After sending Cao Ren away who came to visit, Shen Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and stopped thinking about those things.
"The road ahead is obscure and you can't see the direction clearly, but there is nothing wrong with improving your own strength!"
Across the emptiness, there is no one in the mountains, rivers, and earth to rely on, but I am the only one who can rely on it.
He returned to the jade bed in Dongfu and sat down, and opened the destiny panel.
[You have an epiphany when you watch Lu Yao and other senior fellow apprentices fight against the python in the lake, and your understanding of combat becomes deeper and deeper.]
[While observing the battle, you unexpectedly got an opportunity and got 1 destiny point.]
........
[In the process of using the soul refining banner, swallowing the demon, and refining the soul of the banner, you have a new understanding of spiritual practice, and your cultivation has increased.]
[In the process of driving the Soul Refining Flag, you unexpectedly received an opportunity and a destiny point of 1.]
[You have taken the Qingmu Qi Transformation Pill. The powerful medicine is so powerful that you can’t bear it and almost explode.]
[In the process of refining the medicinal power, you unexpectedly received an opportunity and a destiny point of 1.]
.........
In the information panel, many text messages since Shen Mo's trip appeared in front of him.
He read through it a little and found that he had gained a full 20 points of destiny during this trip.
Most of them were obtained during the life-and-death period when Yu Jian returned to the sect and was harassed by demons.
Obviously, the more desperate the situation is, the more random opportunities will trigger the Destiny Panel.
"Add some first!"
He took these twenty points of destiny and added them to the basic destiny and cultivation qualifications as usual.
[You spent 10 points of destiny trying to upgrade your qualifications to a new level, but failed.]
[You spent 10 points of destiny trying to upgrade your qualifications to a new level, and you succeeded.]
[Congratulations, the host’s basic destiny qualifications have been promoted from the best qualifications to the cultivation wizard.]
When he saw that his qualifications had changed, he was stunned.
"It actually... happened?"
Ever since Shen Mo's qualifications were upgraded to the best level, he has tried to increase his points countless times, but all of them have basically failed.
Unexpectedly, this time he gave it a try without any hope, and he actually succeeded!
