My Master Disconnected Yet Again-Chapter 660 - Yuan Yang’s Fiendish Cultivator

Ever since Chef joined Gui Yi Sect, the three of them lived on top of the tallest floating peak. Their task everyday was to beat up… teach and train Two-Bucks Zuo’s sword techniques. Initially, Lonemoon had wanted to set up a sword array like he had in the past and leave him to figure it out himself. But Two-Bucks Zuo’s foundation was really too weak, on top of that, he only started his sword cultivation after he went into the Foundation Establishment phase and subsequently happened to have an epiphany into late stage Foundation Establishment. If he was thrown into a sword array just like that, he would probably die at the first level, so Lonemoon had no choice but to teach him personally.

Though Two Bucks Zuo’s qualifications were poor, he excelled in the sense that he was diligent. Even if he was half dead from the beatings everyday, the next day, he would still come forth miserably with a sword. A few years passed, although his sword techniques still weren’t “very touching”, at least his resistance to beatings improved quite a bit, he was beginning to have sword cultivators’ constitution of tenacity. Lonemoon despite the disdain he showed, still felt a little gratified.

And in recent years, though Two Bucks Zuo’s cultivation did not grow much, yet the spirit qi in his body became much firmer, he only lacked an opportunity for his core formation.

Gui Yi Sect’s sect master Yu Luan also seemed to have figured out that Yi Qing did not like to be disturbed. Except for his occasional visits at the start, asking Yi Qing if he needed to recruit more disciples, he never mentioned it again after being rejected. Of course, it could also be because they really could not find any other sword cultivating disciples in the sect. Only Tian Yi from Dan Xia Mountain stuck to coming up to visit Lonemoon.

The two became more agreeable the more they chatted, especially Tian Yi, each time, he would look like he wished he could become sworn brothers with Lonemoon immediately as he kept addressing him as Brother Lonemoon. Though he would be cheated of a sum of spirit stones every time, he still took delight in it.

On the contrary, it had gone all quiet on Shu Yi’s side, it was said that she went into seclusion after being accepted by Tian Ji. And for Tian Ji, perhaps because he was greatly embarrassed then, he’d also surprising became very low profile. The two never left Dan Xia Mountain again, even the system’s little broadcast station rarely broadcast anything.

Just as they thought that a life of eating, sleeping, beating up Two Bucks Zuo, occasionally cheating Tian Yi and eating more was coming, Yu Luan suddenly came to them with a grave expression.

“Fiendish Cultivator Zhong Yi?” Yi Qing frowned.

“That’s right!” Yu Luan nodded slightly anxiously. “Five hundred years ago, his Icy Deep Fire once wiped out the entire Sovereign Universe Sect, none of their three thousand disciples escaped. Now that he has appeared once again, I’m afraid he would be wreaking havoc again.”

“Sect Master, how can we be sure that it was this person who appeared in Yuan Yang City?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.

“Of course we’re sure.” Yu Luan glanced at him and sighed. “The Deviant Fire that appeared in the forest outside of Yuan Yang City was exactly the same as the one seen back when Sovereign Universe Sect was wiped out. And three days ago, the peak master of Dan Zhen Mountain, Perfected Yu Zi happened to pass by the area, so he sent a message that he was heading over to do some investigation, but… he never returned.” His frown grew deeper, looking very worried.

“How about his life token?”

“His life token did not break.” Yu Luan answered, “But his soul lamp is extremely dim, he’s probably…” He did not continue on, but it was evident that the other party had gotten into big trouble and probably wouldn’t last.

“So you hope Ch… Supremacy Yi Qing can go take a look?” Lonemoon clarified.

Yu Luan nodded and said with some urgency and worry, “Uncle-Master Yi Qing, that Fiendish Cultivator’s whereabouts is unpredictable, five hundred years ago, a joint effort of all the sects led to nothing in the search for him. Back then, he’d just become a Nascent Soul, today, we have no idea about the level of his cultivation. Right now in our sect, Uncle-Master Tian Ji is in seclusion, Uncle-Master Tian Yi is in the critical period of pill refinement and cannot call a halt. I could only be so bold as to request for you to go forth.”

He stood up and bowed respectfully, then added, “That Zhong Yi must have some motives in suddenly appearing in the boundaries of my Gui Yi Sect. Right now, Perfected Yu Zi’s whereabouts is unknown, I also have no choice but…”

Chef turned back and glanced at Lonemoon before replying, “It’s not difficult for me to make a trip, but how am I to find that Perfected Yu Zi?” He did not know the person!

Yu Luan was delighted. “This is Junior Brother Yu Zi’s life token, a drop of his blood and essence is on it, when you arrive at Yuan Yang City, within a hundred miles’ radius, you would be able to sense his location.” He said while bringing out a jade token. “With this life token Uncle-Master Yi Qing will definitely be able…”

Before he could finish, a crack suddenly sounded, the life token in his hands was in two pieces, a shred of death Qi floated out of it. Yu Luan instantly became deathly pale, swaying before falling back into his seat. He sighed with a sorrowful look. “Seems like… we were still too late.”

The life token was broken, proof that the other party had died.

Lonemoon and Yi Qing also fell into silence, they didn’t expect things to become like this!

“I will go take a look at that Yuan Yang City!” Yi Qing replied. The person they were searching for had died, but the matters regarding the Fiendish Cultivator remained unsettled. They were a part of Gui Yi Sect after all, it was only right that they go take a look.

“Thank you Uncle-Master.” Yu Luan nodded with a bitter smile, he continued to speak after being struck with a sudden thought. “But there’s no hurry, wait for me to select some disciples to go forth together with Uncle-Master.”

Yi Qing frowned. “Me alone is enough, no need for anyone else.” If there was really a fiendish cultivator, they would be a burden too.

“Uncle-Master you’ve misunderstood.” Yu Luan hurriedly explained. “Many of the people of Yuan Yang City were injured by that Deviant Fire and have become infected with heretic aura. Yuan Yang City is an immortal city under the charge of Gui Yi Sect, we cannot sit by and watch, so I intend on sending a batch of disciples over to help them in eradicating the heretic aura. The journey would be dangerous so I would like to ask Uncle-Master to escort them too.”

So that was it.

Yi Qing nodded. “Sure.”

“Thank you Uncle-Master!” Yu Luan cupped his fists again, seeming like he hadn’t him to be so easygoing. “I shall inform each mountain to select people, all of you will set off tomorrow morning.”

With that said, he did not stay longer and flew away, grim-faced.

——————

Yu Luan worked very quickly, perhaps it’s because this matter was indeed of great urgency. Once the day broke the next morning, a disciple came forth to inform that they were leaving. Thinking that this was a good training opportunity, Lonemoon brought Two-Bucks Zuo along too.

Once they came close to the gathering point at the main peak, they saw a big group of disciples gathered outside the hall from far, approximately 40 to 50 of them. Most were Golden Core and Foundation Establishment disciples, and one Nascent Soul cultivator leading them. He looked slightly familiar and it turned out to be the peak master of Dan Chen Mountain, Shu Yuan. Lonemoon turned for a look, sure enough, Shu Yi was there too.

“Greetings Uncle-Master Yi Qing!” Shu Yuan respectfully bowed with cupped fists.

The other disciples also greeted him. “Greetings Great Uncle-Master!”

Yuan Yang City nodded, without boarded the spirit boat with everyone else without any dawdling, heading towards Yuan Yang City.

Yuan Yang City wasn’t far from Gui Yi Sect, but with so many people traveling by the spirit boat, it would still take around two hours.

Lonemoon subconsciously peeked at that invader, as expected, her gaze would still shift to Zuo Shuming from time to time, her expression extremely complicated, seeming to be disdain, but also coupled with some resentment. No one knew what she was thinking, she didn’t turn on her broadcast so they couldn’t guess what motives she had too.

“Is this fellow Daoist… Lonemoon?” A disciple suddenly walked over and bowed very politely to Lonemoon. He was dressed in the blue disciple’s uniform, a special pattern embroidered on his sleeves, seems like he was a recognized disciple.

“I am!” Lonemoon nodded. “Senior Brother is…”

The other party was delighted and immediately introduced, “I am a disciple of Dan Xia Mountain, Chen Lin! I am here on my Master’s orders to hand some items to fellow Daoist Lonemoon.”

Lonemoon faltered, Dan Xia Mountain? Tian Yi?
