Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 704: The World Needs You to Save It

The students and the teacher in the academy turned around in astonishment, watching the two mysterious figures enter.

These two mysterious figures seemed to possess an innate enigmatic aura. They exuded a powerful oppressive pressure merely by standing there.

Gu Junye was not surprised to see these two seek him out. He sighed softly, “So you still found me.”

One of the mysterious figures had a hoarse voice, which didn’t match his youthful appearance. “Fellow Daoist, I know that you have lost trust in the organization since that incident and have lived in seclusion here. But I beg you to believe in the organization.”

The mysterious figure’s words seemed to trigger a taboo memory in Gu Junye. He clenched his fists tightly and looked up abruptly, his eyes seeming to contain a supreme true dragon roaring within.

“Believe in the organization? Then why did the organization send us on that kind of mission? It was a suicide mission!

“Can you imagine it? One moment, a friend is laughing and chatting; the next, they are pierced by tentacles and turned into a desiccated corpse!

“Endless enemies surged forth like a tide. The Sacred Lord, claimed to embody eternal light, died. The Pan God, capable of splitting heaven and earth apart, died...

“Everyone died, everyone died! Only I survived!

“Didn’t the organization know the situation there? Where was the organization when we were trapped? Where was the support? Where were the reinforcements?!”

The other mysterious man’s face was covered in scars, as if he had endured countless bloody battles, his Dao heart firm as iron. But his heart still trembled when he looked into Gu Junye’s eyes.

The mysterious man recalled the various deeds of the person before him. Those were like myths and legends to them.

This person had wandered through the long river of history, leaving his legends at every juncture. Across nine cycles of reincarnation, he challenged immortals with sheer strength, balancing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal single-handedly.

The mysterious man explained, his tone tinged with bitterness. “The organization was held back by enemies from the heavens and couldn’t come to your aid.” He pointed to the scars on his face. “These injuries were sustained during that time.

“Fellow Daoist, those monsters from the earth abyss are climbing out again! The organization needs you to step in! The world needs you to save it!”

Gu Junye stared at the two mysterious figures, feeling like he could see the shadows of his old friends in them.

He slowly stood up and sighed, as if resigning himself to fate. “Very well. Then I shall make this journey.”

The two mysterious men’s icy faces involuntarily broke into smiles.

“Fellow Daoist, after you!”

Gu Junye showed no intention of explaining to the others. Under everyone’s eyes, he was escorted out of the classroom by the two mysterious figures.

Then, he looked up at the sky and took a huge leap, vanishing into thin air.

~~~

“So you’ll just stay here for half a day and go home directly after school?” The two mysterious men brought Gu Junye outside the city, their faces changing to reveal their true appearances.

They were actually Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou!

“Many thanks, senior brothers.” Gu Junye cupped his fists, his face flushed with excitement.

Meng Jingzhou waved his hand. “It’s nothing.”

Lu Yang patted Gu Junye’s shoulder. “You must come in the second month next year. I have high hopes for you!”

With that, the two boarded the carriage and headed for the next location.

“You know, that was actually quite fun.”

“Right? I think so too.”

~~~

After the two left, roughly half a day later, two figures flew from the distance and landed at the ruins of the Deity Temple.

Staring at the collapsed temple and the clay statue shattered on the ground, the two figures furrowed their brows tightly.

“The Life Tablet wasn’t wrong. Wang Chuan has truly perished.”

“But how is that possible? Although he was still in the phase of reforming his physical body, he was still a Fusion cultivator. The strongest cultivator in this city is only at the Nascent Soul Stage. How could they have harmed Wang Chuan?”

“Could it have been a Great Xia Fusion cultivator passing by who discovered him?”

“That shouldn’t be it either. Wang Chuan was formidable. Unless he encountered a top-tier Fusion cultivator, he should have been able to escape.”

“Strange.”

“Let’s see what happened then; everything will become clear.”

One of them chanted an incantation inwardly. The faith power scattered around recoalesced. Although it couldn’t resurrect Wang Chuan, it could replay the events of the previous night. Fragments of last night appeared in his palm.

Two Nascent Soul prodigies had discovered Wang Chuan. The latter intended to attack them, but was suppressed by a white horse descending from the sky. In an exchange that was as fast as lightning, Wang Chuan was annihilated by the white horse, his soul disintegrating.

Even though they were just phantom images, the two figures shuddered upon seeing the white horse execute “Dragon-Horse Unification, Dragon Battles in the Wild.”

If it were us, we probably couldn’t have withstood this move either.

“These two Nascent Soul cultivators look familiar... I remember! Aren’t these two the rising stars of the Dao-Seeking Sect? This one is Lu Yang, who once fought the young creed leader of the Heavenly Court Creed to a draw.” One of them suddenly realized. If not for the Heavenly Court Creed, they wouldn’t have even paid attention to Lu Yang’s existence.

“Who is that white horse?”

“No idea. I haven’t seen it before.”

“Let’s bring this piece of intelligence back and show it to His Excellency.”

The two immediately flew back to their headquarters.

~~~

The headquarters was located in a newly opened dimension. The two knocked on the door, verified their identities with their mental power, and entered the space.

Inside the space, powerful experts were as numerous as clouds. Each possessed unique skills and had left their mark in history. Although the two were Fusion cultivators, they ranked at the bottom here and were responsible for errands.

“Your Excellency, this is the scene from before Wang Chuan perished.” The two deferentially presented a magical artifact that was temporarily forged from faith power.

The leader was a youth who appeared even younger than Lu Yang.

Wang Chuan held considerable influence among Fusion cultivators. His demise was beyond everyone’s expectations, so they regarded it extremely seriously. If possible, they wanted to avenge him.

Otherwise, if subordinates casually died outside and he remained indifferent, his other subordinates would be disillusioned, and they might defect to Wu Youdao.

This was the headquarters of the Great Yu Alliance, aimed at gathering all sleeping cultivators from the Great Yu era. Great Xia’s strength exceeded their expectations, so some advocated for strength in numbers and that everyone should act together. Moreover, they believed that following Wu Youdao, the sixth Yu Emperor, held no future. Hence, they formed this separate faction.

It had been a long time since they heard any news about Wu Youdao. They had no idea what he was secretly plotting.

The Imperial Preceptor always planned meticulously before acting. The long silence might imply he was preparing for some heaven-shocking event.

The youth carefully watched the recording of Wang Chuan’s final moments. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he even temporarily tossed aside the thought of avenging Wang Chuan.

He stared fixedly at the sword in Lu Yang’s hand and became extremely agitated, greed glinting from the bottom of his eyes. “The Yu Emperor’s personal sword!” Although its appearance differed from the original sword, he still recognized the Qingfeng Sword’s origin at a glance.

Everyone was stunned. They all knew the youth looked down on Wu Youdao. The only person he would call “Yu Emperor” was the founding monarch of the Great Yu Dynasty—Wu Yao.
