Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 907 - 881: The Peril of Wudang
Chapter 907: Chapter 881: The Peril of Wudang
"This—" Sister Bai hesitated for a moment, "Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Your Myriad Saints Valley is known as a famous Holy Land, one of the Skies Beyond the Skies. Humans and beasts tread different paths; bringing us into the Myriad Saints Valley might not reflect well, wouldn’t it? Besides, I suppose your Human Clan might find it difficult to accommodate us."
Tangyu replied, "Sister Bai, you worry too much. Our Human Clan is not as exclusionary as you might imagine. Although you are beasts, you are righteous ones. Since our Myriad Saints Valley is a reputable Holy Land, at the very least, it should be capable of distinguishing right from wrong. The Yao Race now views you as traitors, and you have nowhere to go. Going back to Myriad Saints Valley with me is your only option."
Sister Bai thought for a moment before replying, "Alright then, sorry to trouble you."
"It’s no problem; as long as I’m here, I will help you settle it," Tangyu reassured her.
Sister Bai looked at Tangyu in a daze, feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity. Just half a year ago, when she first saw this man, he was just a youngster at the Innate Realm, pathetically weak. But seeing him today, he had undergone earth-shaking changes.
A benevolent connection can indeed yield such great fruits of goodness. Isn’t the pursuit of cultivation in heaven and earth about introducing true energy into oneself?
Tangyu said, "Sister Bai, you should quickly pack your things. We’ll leave shortly."
Only then did Sister Bai regain her senses, nodding her head, and she went with Xiao Qing to pack their things. The spiritual medicines in the Spiritual Medicine Garden were also all picked as much as possible.
They directly returned to the Myriad Saints Valley, bringing Sister Bai and Xiao Qing to a palace. Liang Youshan was pleasantly surprised to see them: "Oh, Sister Bai and Xiao Qing, why are you here?"
Tangyu said, "Let’s put that aside for now. Liang Youshan, arrange for Sister Bai and Xiao Qing to stay here. They’ll live here from now on. I have other matters to attend to."
Liang Youshan quickly nodded with a grin, "Haha, this is perfect, having two beauties live together, it’s simply delightful."
Fang Yishui quickly became unhappy, glaring at Liang Youshan, "What do you mean? Am I not a beauty? Are you discriminating against me?"
Liang Youshan immediately grinned awkwardly, waving his hands, "Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. Fang Yishui, you are, of course, a beauty. It’s just that now there are two more." Fang Yishui’s little temper was something Liang Youshan dared not provoke. After all, this woman would very likely become Tangyu’s woman in the future; he couldn’t afford to anger her.
Tangyu couldn’t be bothered with their banter and went directly to Elder Chou’s palace. Elder Chou greeted Tangyu with a smile when he arrived, "Greetings, Eighteenth Valley Master."
"Ah, Elder Chou, no need to be so formal with me, right?" Tangyu felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Elder Chou address him that way.
Elder Chou replied, "Some formalities must be observed. You are now the Eighteenth Valley Master; it’s only proper to salute you. Is there something you need from me?"
Tangyu said, "It’s like this, Elder Chou, I brought two friends into the Inner Gate, two from the Yao Race." Tangyu then explained the situations of Sister Bai and Xiao Qing.
Elder Chou furrowed his brow slightly after hearing the story, "While it’s true, as you said, these two from the Yao Race are indeed just, it would ordinarily not matter, since we are a reputed righteous sect and wouldn’t look at the Yao Race with prejudice. But given the current extraordinary times, with a war looming between our Human Clan and the Yao Race, there is now an unerasable rift between us. However, this matter is under the Eighteenth Valley Master’s jurisdiction, so I have no further comment. I will do my best to make arrangements."
"But—to be safe, it’s best to inform them, to remain inside your palace and not to roam outside; otherwise, trouble may arise."
Tangyu nodded, "I understand. I will seek permission from the Great Valley Master."
"Very well." Elder Chou nodded.
Tangyu left and proceeded to the Valley Master’s domain, arriving at the Great Valley Master’s palace. The palace was shut tight. Tangyu stood at the door and performed a salutation, "Great Valley Master, I have a matter to discuss."
"I am already aware of the situation; proceed as you intend," came the Great Valley Master’s voice from inside.
Tangyu was slightly startled; he hadn’t even spoken yet, and the Great Valley Master was already aware of everything. It was truly an amazing foresight, earning immense respect.
Having received the Great Valley Master’s approval, Tangyu promptly departed.
Returning again to the Inner Gate Palace, he hadn’t even had time to give any instructions when Liang Youshan rushed in, distressed, "Boss, bad news, something’s happened at my home."
"Hmm, what’s going on?" Tangyu frowned.
Liang Youshan said, "The Dark World is attacking the Wudang Holy Land. My home happens to be near the Wudang Holy Land, so we’ve taken refuge there. Now, Wudang is in danger."
Seeing Liang Youshan’s worry, Tangyu tried to console him, "Don’t panic, the Dark World hasn’t launched their final assault yet. The current offensive shouldn’t be too intense. For the time being, the Wudang Holy Land should be able to hold. Moreover, since Wudang Holy Land is close to Shengyan Skies Beyond the Skies, Wudang should seek assistance from Shengyan."
"But I am still very worried. If the Wudang Holy Land is breached, my whole family will suffer. No, I can’t rest easy. Boss, I must immediately head to Wudang Holy Land. If possible, I’d like to bring them to Myriad Saints Valley, even if it means arranging for them in the Outer Sect," Liang Youshan insisted.
Tangyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I’ll go with you to the Wudang Holy Land. If we can repel the forces of the Dark World, that would be ideal. If not, we can bring them back to Myriad Saints Valley."
"Alright, many thanks, boss." Liang Youshan nodded in agreement.
Wang Weiwu Fei also quickly stepped forward, expressing his intention to go along, and Tangyu allowed them to join.
After arranging everything, Tangyu and his party set off for the Wudang Holy Land, which was over a thousand miles away from Myriad Saints Valley.
The battle between the Dark World and the Ancient Martial World had already commenced. The Nine Great Holy Lands had almost all faced a powerful offensive. The Nine Great Holy Lands also sought help from the Nine Great Heavens Beyond, causing the atmosphere in the Ancient Martial World to suddenly become tense.
Jingshan Sixteen Caves, one of the Ten Great Holy Lands, became traitors and completely sided with the Dark World.
With the assistance of the Yao Race and Jingshan Sixteen Caves, the Dark World’s power naturally became even more formidable, making this assault on the Nine Great Holy Lands rather fierce.
When the four of Tangyu arrived at the Wudang Holy Land, they immediately sensed a pervasive smell of gunpowder. Only two or three miles from Wudang Mountain, on a nearby peak, a camp had been set up, clearly visible from a distance.
Tangyu looked towards that direction, "It’s the Dark World people. They’ve actually set up a camp right here, it seems they’ve prepared for a prolonged battle. Judging by the scale of the camp, quite a number of people are attacking Wudang Holy Land this time."
Tangyu and his party quickly arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain, where several guards watched them cautiously. These guards were dressed in Taoist robes, clearly disciples of Wudang Mountain. Their strength was evident, with one at the Earthly Realm and the others at the Innate Realm.
Nevertheless, at Wudang Mountain, they represented a powerful force.
"Who are you?" The Earthly Realm Wudang disciple demanded.
Tangyu replied, "Tangyu from Myriad Saints Valley."
Liang Youshan added, "I’m Liang Youshan, an Inner Sect Disciple from Myriad Saints Valley. My family is from the Ancient Martial Liang family in Qingfeng Town. My family members are on Wudang Mountain, and we’ve come to offer assistance upon hearing the news." With that, Liang Youshan presented his Inner Sect Disciple Token.
Seeing this, the Wudang disciples relaxed and showed a friendly expression. The Earthly Realm disciple bowed, saying, "So, you’re fellow Taoists from Myriad Saints Valley. I apologize for any offense. It’s wonderful that you’ve come to help. Please, follow us up the mountain."
"Hmm, thank you," Tangyu nodded slightly.
At this moment, a troop approached, each person well-dressed and imposing. These individuals were dressed in the fashion of ancient men, as if they had traveled through time. Their attire and demeanor gave the same impression.
This group consisted of over twenty people, led by a man in his thirties wearing white. His powerful aura and imposing presence exuded arrogance, with a sense of haughtiness in his brow. Standing before him filled others with an invisible sense of oppression.
Those behind him were equally imposing, all seeming superior, a hint of rebelliousness in their demeanor.
This arrogance was indeed somewhat uncomfortable to witness.
As if by nature, they felt superior to others.
Tangyu scrutinized these people, noting that the leader indeed had reasons for his arrogance, as his realm was the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm. Moreover, he was not an ordinary Ninth Layer, possibly of the same level as Wu Chaoyang.
The others behind him were also formidable, all in the Earthly Realm, with some even surpassing the Sixth Layer.
This troop was extremely powerful, clearly coming to reinforce the Wudang Holy Land.
The white-clad leader glanced at Tangyu and his companions, his gaze lingering slightly on Tangyu, unable to discern his depth. However, he didn’t dwell on it. The strength of Liang Youshan and the others didn’t seem to concern him at all.
The Wudang disciples were overjoyed upon seeing this group. The Earthly Realm disciple respectfully approached, "Are you fellow Taoists from Haoyan Skies Beyond the Skies? We’ve been expecting you for a long time."
The white-clad man replied indifferently, "Did your Wudang Holy Land only send you to welcome us?"
The tone was evidently displeased.
The Wudang Earthly Realm disciple faced an awkward moment, "This—please forgive us. A major battle just occurred, so the patriarch and the others are engaged in strategic discussions. We hope for your understanding."
The white-clad man waved dismissively, "Fine, considering the dire times, I won’t hold it against you. Otherwise, I’d have turned back immediately in less pressing circumstances." Then he glanced at Tangyu’s group and said, "What’s going on with you at Wudang Holy Land? Why invite others when you’ve already invited us? Do you think we can’t protect your Wudang Holy Land?"
