Chapter 338 Unless someone on the list makes a move
While the old ox waited, an urgent message reached the sect.
The news came suddenly and abruptly, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Then, the sect's bell rang.
The bell tolled heavily and far-reachingly, echoing throughout the entire Misty Cloud Sect.
Each sound sent shivers down one's spine, as if announcing that some momentous event was about to occur.
Then, messages came down like snowflakes, and all the peaks and halls received emergency summons orders.
Immediately, streaks of light shot up from all parts of the sect, converging into a dazzling river of light, all flying in the same direction.
The leading beams of light were extremely dazzling, with a powerful and majestic aura, clearly indicating that they were all top experts from their respective sects.
Their speed was astonishing; they disappeared into the horizon almost instantly.
Those disciples who had not received the message looked up and watched the vast crowd depart.
One streak of light after another streaked across the sky, so many of them that they almost covered half the sky.
This is an all-out effort.
What could possibly warrant such a large-scale conflict from a sect?

In the shelter.
Many people are filled with fear and anxiety.
Especially the constant bombardment from outside, each impact causing the entire cave to shake violently.
They had no idea what was happening outside, but instinctively felt that this place could be breached at any moment, and that everyone would end up dead.
Even Jiang Man couldn't be sure of the situation outside.
The shelter has been closed, which is indeed for the sake of the people inside.
Without this level of sealing, the sheer light would be enough to kill them all.
Time passed very slowly, so slowly that you had to count each breath.
Each day felt like an eternity.
The sudden sound of the collision, in particular, seemed to slow down the flow of time.
Some people couldn't bear the pressure and felt they might as well go out and die.
These people were all suppressed by Zhuo Qingcheng and his group.
“This won’t work; many people won’t be able to keep going,” Zhuo Qingcheng said.
The sect leader nodded; he was also struggling to withstand the attack, and the force of the attack was making his mind tremble.
Jiang Man nodded: "That's right. They shouldn't have to suffer like this. I think we should do something about it."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader said with delight, "Senior, would you like to encourage everyone? With your support, I think everyone will feel much better."
Jiang Man ignored the other party and instead said to Zhuo Qingcheng and the others, "Among these people, your cultivation should be the strongest, right?"
Zhuo Qingcheng nodded: "Senior Brother He is the strongest, and I am second."
“That’s enough,” Jiang Man said seriously. “Then Junior Sister, go and alleviate their pain.”
The sect leader thought to himself, "Fairy Zhuo is also an option."
After all, it's been Fairy Zhuo who's been doing the work lately, and she has a certain reputation.
However, Jiang Man said, "Knock them all out, leave no one alive. Don't let them wake up until this is over."
"Isn't what you're doing a bit inhumane, senior brother?" He Que asked, looking at Jiang Man.
Then a force fell on him.
Then he completely lost consciousness.
Everyone stared in surprise at He Que lying on the ground.
Do even powerful cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm suffer?
Han Meixue immediately said, "Senior Brother He, really, don't say things that are detrimental to unity."
The sect leader and the others immediately nodded and said, "Senior is right. It's good to make them faint, as it will prevent any accidents from happening."
"If there are hidden people, they will be very obvious."
If everyone is asleep and you suddenly wake up, wouldn't that give you away?
So everyone started to implement it.
Within an hour, the sounds of panic subsided, and everyone lay quietly.
Jiang Man told them to try to wake people up before Ren Qian and the others came in.
Zhuo Qingcheng nodded and said, "I will try my best, but if they come suddenly, it's hard to say."
Jiang Man didn't mind, and just told her to do her best.
If it doesn't work, then forget it; he'll explain.
After that, Jiang Man began to cultivate, but he was no longer able to cultivate with the same selflessness as before.
We must be wary of external threats.
Meanwhile, Han Meixue, standing in the corner, looked at Jiang Man and said to Zhuo Qingcheng and the others, "Senior brother can actually continue cultivating."
Zhuo Qingcheng took a deep breath and said, "Otherwise, how could he be a prodigy?"
Han Meixue looked at her senior brother He on the ground and said regretfully, "Senior brother is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and he fainted immediately. I wonder what his reaction will be when he wakes up."
Zhuo Qingcheng said calmly, "Just record them one by one."
What else can he do besides record everything?
Want to arm wrestle with Jiang Man?
That would just make you unhappy.
Let's see what Senior Brother Jiang Man has been up to lately.
Recruit members of the evil god sect, report them, and receive massive rewards from the sect.
Then there was the fraudulent claiming of credit for killing a wanted criminal.
Continue to receive sect rewards.
Whose primordial spirit would dare to accept the reward for a wanted criminal returning to the void?
At this moment, the oppressive feeling spread rapidly, making it difficult for them to breathe.
three days later.
The young sect leader couldn't take it anymore and immediately said, "Sect leader, knock me out too. I can't hold on any longer."
A day later, the sect leader looked at Zhuo Qingcheng and said, "Fairy, thank you for your trouble."
He felt the oppressive atmosphere around him and thought he was about to go crazy.
in the afternoon.
Han Meixue looked at Zhuo Qingcheng: "Senior sister, I can't go on either."
Instead of knocking the other person unconscious, Zhuo Qingcheng gave him a book on meditation techniques.
"The sun that never sets? The fourth edition?" Han Meixue asked in surprise.
“Yes, I bought it on the black market,” Zhuo Qingcheng said.
The fourth edition can only be purchased in Jiang Man's current courtyard.
Because Mr. Ji took the time to revise it for them.
They were all experimental subjects.
It will only be passed on if there are no problems.
The version currently available on the market is the second edition.
Three days later, Han Meixue was unable to hold on any longer and was knocked unconscious by Zhuo Qingcheng.
Zhuo Qingcheng also felt that she couldn't take it anymore and could only hold on for a day or two at most. The feeling of oppression became more and more obvious.
This is because the shelter blocked most of the scent.
It's easy to imagine how terrible the situation is outside right now.
Another day later, Zhuo Qingcheng found Jiang Man.
He was eventually knocked unconscious.
Currently, Jiang Man is the only one still awake in the entire shelter.
The pressure from the environment had no effect on him; he was only concerned about the situation outside.
It's been a long time, and this conflict is probably the biggest one in decades.
In the past, this place was at least a closed-off area, but now it's within the normal range.
The oppressive atmosphere reached its peak, and then some other scents began to seep in.
Jiang Man felt that it was putting pressure on his body, and it would be even more difficult to cultivate the method of drawing upon power at this time.
But progress will be faster.
Having confirmed this, Jiang Man sat cross-legged, using external pressure to sense the power within his body.
Not long after, he noticed that someone in the shelter had gotten up.
Undercover?
Unexpectedly, there was an additional benefit.
One costs at least 50,000.
He wasn't in a hurry; he just waited quietly.
The other party seems to be confirming their accomplice.
Then a second person appeared, followed by a third, and a fourth.
The last five people got up.
They gathered together and came before Jiang Man and the others.
"This is the Great Fairy. Her skin looks so soft and supple. This poor, remote place could never produce a fairy like her," a rather lewd voice rang out.
"Don't touch anything. Open this first and let Lady Xianling in," a female voice said.
Then she came up to Jiang Man and said, "This is Senior Dazong. His temperament is incomparable to others. Do you think he has a Daoist partner?"
"Yes," Jiang Man suddenly opened her eyes and answered the other person's question.
Upon seeing Jiang Man wake up, the other party was startled and immediately tried to flee.
Others were also stunned.
The cave must be opened immediately.
However, in just a moment, Jiang Man's primordial spirit power swept across.
Everyone was suppressed.
"I'll ask, and you'll answer," Jiang Man said, looking at the five people.
The power of their primordial spirits was suffocating them.
The terrifying aura of power made them feel that they would die in the next instant.
They had assumed that under the power of the immortals, no one could stay awake.
Surprisingly, the person in front of me didn't faint.
"What do you call these celestial spirits?" Jiang Man asked. "Celestial spirits are celestial spirits, we don't know what they're called either," the woman closest to Jiang Man replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man frowned: "Not even a name?"
“No, there isn’t. One day, a voice suddenly appeared in our minds. It was a vast, mysterious, and powerful voice,” the woman said.
"Does this spirit want you to open this cave?" Jiang Man asked again.
"Yes, the immortal said to open all inhabited places. Once opened, I can directly break through my bottleneck and will also be granted a Daoist partner," the lewd man said.
Jiang Man frowned. What kind of immortal spirit is this?
Hiding its head and revealing its tail.
However, unlike the ethereal spirit Linghua, this spirit doesn't seem to need subordinates.
Jiang Man asked a few more questions, and then finally knocked them unconscious.
Knowing too little is worthless.
At this moment, he felt the surrounding energy begin to fluctuate, followed by a loud boom.
The entire cave shook, followed by a cracking sound.
Clang!
A magical artifact shattered and fell to the ground.
Jiang Man immediately became alert to his surroundings; the place was about to be breached.
I wonder if the sect members can stop them.
boom!
boom!!
boom!!!
A tremendous roar resounded, and the earth trembled.
One by one, magical artifacts fell to the ground.
Jiang Man saw that there were only two left.
Just a couple more hits, and I won't be able to hold on much longer.
If the enemy is captured, he will leave.
Facing an evil god head-on, even several lives wouldn't be enough.
Compared to these people, even the most outstanding talents are too young.
Fortunately, Jiang Man waited for a long time without launching another attack.
It seems the situation outside isn't so bad; at least the sect can hold them off.
Then a voice rang out from all directions.
“The three high-ranking members of the Zhenyue Division of the Wuyun Sect, the four peak masters, one protector, and one sect leader of the sect, you all arrived quite quickly.”
"But your people took my things, and this matter will not be over. Since they had the ability to take them, I hope they also have the ability to deal with me."
"Let him return my things, and that will be the end of it."
"Otherwise, my formations will cover your entire Great Zhi, and I'll see how many people your immortal sect has to deal with me."
"Even Taihua of Zhenyue Division might not be able to find me, unless you dare to send someone from the list."
“Otherwise I won’t stop,” a vast voice rang out.
Then the power began to wane.
Jiang Man felt that the other person's voice carried a kind of power.
It's impossible to deal with.
However, he was also very curious about what the "thing" referred to.
Could it be a stone from the Supreme Dharma?
If that's really the case, then she's threatening someone.
"Is this a threat to me? But she's threatening the wrong person."
If you're looking for stones, you should look for Meng Qiewei.
I wonder if he can maintain this kind of clamor when facing Meng Qiewei.
That's the aloof Meng Qiewei, not the gentle and innocent Miss Ji Meng.
The next day, the power completely disappeared.
The oppressive atmosphere has also disappeared.
The magical artifacts in the cave disappeared, and the main gate was opened.
Ren Qian walked in weakly; his injuries were extremely serious.
"Is Junior Brother alright?" Ren Qian asked.
He wasn't surprised to see others unconscious.
As long as I'm alive, that's enough.
"Isn't Senior Brother going to rest?" Jiang Man asked curiously.
"Not really, I'm the one who closed the door, and I'm the fastest at opening it," Ren Qian said.
Jiang Man was shocked. Did the Immortal Sect Dazhi value them so much?
They actually wanted to open the door immediately.
Even if you're seriously injured, you have to open the door.
"Someone wants to see my junior brother, and we can't delay," Ren Qian explained coldly.
Jiang Man remained silent.
He even suspected that the higher-ups had spent a lot of money to get Ren Qian to open the door quickly.
Even with such serious injuries, he had to get up and open the door.
A moment later, Jiang Man saw the outside world. The place had been razed to the ground, leaving only the mountain range where the Sword Tomb was located.
This shows how fierce the battle was.
He then saw three people in the ruins.
A one-eyed man.
The gruesome scar beneath the eye patch extended to his cheek.
A woman who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a black robe.
The last one was a handsome middle-aged man.
However, they all carried numerous injuries.
Neither of them is in very good condition.
"Greetings, three seniors." Jiang Man bowed respectfully.
He already understood that these three were the three high-ranking officials of Zhenyue Division.
"I heard from Ren Qian that you dug up a stone in a hidden cave?" Xiang Tianlin asked.
Jiang Man thought to himself, "It really is the Supreme Method," and immediately replied, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Xiang Tianlin asked, "Is the stone on you?"
Jiang Man shook his head and said that it had already been delivered to the sect.
This surprised the three of them.
However, sending them to a sect is also acceptable.
Then they said they wanted to buy the stone.
Jiang Man was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "How much spiritual energy?"
"Why don't you name a price?" Xiang Tianlin asked.
Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll listen to the sect."
Xiang Tianlin carefully spoke, saying, "This stone was dug up after you reported it and Ren Qian took over. Logically, it belongs to the sect, and you should hand it over."
"However, the timing of your digging was excellent. It would be unreasonable to ask you to hand it over directly, so we will compensate you with other resources, such as cultivation techniques, spells, and others. There will also be spiritual resources, but not many, probably only a few hundred thousand."
Jiang Man was stunned when he heard the last sentence.
But not many, probably only a few hundred thousand.
There are indeed huge differences between people.
After a pause, Jiang Man asked curiously, "Is this stone the core of it?"
"No, but it seems that the other party values the whole rather than the content. In other words, it won't work if any part is missing, so every part is the core," Red Eagle replied.
Jiang Man then said he would hand it over.
However, I'll have to find something else to exchange with Miss Himemu.
I hope I can get a replacement.
Finally, Jiang Man asked if he could go back first.
Unfortunately, it didn't work very well.
The evil god's formation still exists, clearly indicating his intention to harass the surrounding area.
They were unable to escort the people back.
Ren Qian and others suffered even greater losses.
We can only wait a little longer; the immortal sect's reinforcements are already on their way.
The situation with the evil god is extremely dire this time.
Afterwards, Jiang Man found a place and built himself a place to live.
Just as it ended, he saw vegetation appear around him, and the houses were covered by a river.
A completely new environment was rapidly enveloping him.
The last stone tablet stopped in front of him.
The Magpie Bridge has opened.
In mid-July, Tingfengyin finally arrived.
But it's all over.
I missed it this time.

I recommend a new book to a friend, "Global Mysticism".
The extraordinary has arrived in reality, and the divine has been revived worldwide.
For five thousand years, the Xia Kingdom has revered Heaven and honored its ancestors, a tradition that has been passed down through generations, awakening the extraordinary power of the sequence of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Federation civilization, however, was poorly constructed due to its patchwork nature and weak foundation, making it difficult to awaken a complete and powerful extraordinary sequence pathway, thus rewriting the world order.
Xu Lindong has mastered the Tower of Babel and can cultivate multiple pathways. Every step he takes seems to confirm the ancient Chinese legend of "the unity of heaven, earth, and man, transcending to become an immortal," which may come true!
