Inspection
A flying Law Artifact sped through the sky, almost without stopping. However, there was also a sense of urgency. Following Yue Qianchou's instructions, Captain Gangbin, the second captain, ordered that any young disciples encountered by the Cultivation Alliance be brought to Utopia One for Yue Qianchou's ideological reform.
However, Yue Qianchou's reputation for being wicked was widespread. Some disciples were genuinely afraid. They were initially unwilling to go, but couldn't resist his enthusiastic invitation. After meeting him with trepidation, they were immediately Yue Qianchou's warm and welcoming manner. Upon receiving a gift, they regretted believing the rumors. In Yue Qianchou's words, this was called "moving them subtly and explaining the reasons."
Of course, the "li" in that context refers to a gift given upon meeting someone.
Each faction set up numerous similar checkpoints in various locations, and also deployed communication arrays within a certain area, naturally to facilitate timely reporting to the Cultivation Alliance upon discovering any suspicious activity. Thus, when the Cultivation Alliance received news that Yue Qianchou's six flying magical Law Artifact were approaching step by step, the checkpoints were questioned, "Did Yue Qianchou and his group cooperate with the inspection? Did they cause any trouble?"
To the surprise of all factions, many of the checkpoints replied that "Yue Qianchou cooperated actively with the investigation and had a very good attitude, without even a hint of causing trouble." The unexpected turn of events was a surprise, but the fact that no one caused trouble was a good thing, and all the factions that participated in poaching him breathed a sigh of relief.
The Daluo Sect had originally instructed its disciples to be on guard, and if they encountered Yue Qianchou, to be tolerant if the latter's attitude was unfriendly, lest Yue Qianchou take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, upon receiving this news, Zhu Xianxian felt much calmer. It seemed Yue Qianchou still wouldn't dare to go against the entire Cultivation Alliance. He was wise to act this way.
Upon receiving the warning from within the sect, the disciples of the Daluo Sect were terrified. Everyone knew that Yue Qianchou had a deep-seated feud with the Daluo Sect, and they had clashed repeatedly. Even the sect leader's son had been killed by that guy; what else was he incapable of? They'd heard he'd brought six hundred experts at the Tribulation Transcendence stage with him—what were they to do?!
Zhao Chang is an elder in the early Tribulation stage of the Daluo Sect. He used to serve by the side of Luo Kun, one of the top experts of the Daluo Sect, which is really a great use of his talents.
In this great battle, Luo Kun, along with several late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts, came to assist the Daluo Sect, making him the most important figure among the Daluo Sect's entourage. Upon learning of Zhu Xianxian's report regarding Yue Qianchou, Luo Kun ordered his men to calculate Yue Qianchou's route and dispatched his trusted confidant Zhao Chang, to Yue Qianchou's likely path. The purpose was simple: put past matters aside for now and try to prevent his disciples from clashing with Yue Qianchou at this time. He wanted to avoid becoming a laughingstock for other sects; settling scores wasn't the right thing to do!
Zhao Chang had long followed Luo Kun, and in the Daluo Sect, who dared not give him face? Over time, he inevitably developed a bit of arrogance. He felt somewhat wronged, being assigned to a small checkpoint to deal with a lowly rogue. Although unwilling, he dared not object to Luo Kun's arrangement.
Hidden within the sea of clouds was the Daluo Sect's flying Law Artifact, allowing for easy observation of their surroundings while remaining undetected. On the flying Law Artifact was a group of fifteen, including Zhao Chang. A leader named Liu Xu cautiously asked the aloof Zhao Chang, "Elder Zhao, why does Yue Qianchou always seem to be causing trouble for our Daluo Sect?"
"Hmph." Zhao Chang glanced at him and sneered, "You disciples of the Daluo Sect, remember this: a kind person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden. Our Daluo Sect is the second-ranked sect in the Righteous Path, so show us the backbone of a great sect. Don't be like some people who, after suffering a loss, remain indifferent even when their own son is killed. Hmph! Boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own prestige is a disgrace to the Daluo Sect."
Liu Xu clicked his tongue inwardly. He had long heard that Elder Zhao was arrogant and haughty, but he never expected him to dare to speak ill of even that person. He naturally knew who the person Zhao Chang mentioned whose son had been killed was, but the topic was far too sensitive. He dared not continue the conversation; if word got out, the consequences would be far beyond what a junior disciple in the early stage of Core Formation could bear.
Thinking of this, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Upon receiving the message from the sect, he had planned to simply avoid Yue Qianchou's flying Law Artifact and hide in the clouds. No matter how much they resented the Daluo Sect, they couldn't possibly search the entire sky for them!
Who knew that the front would send this guy to restrain everyone? Judging from his tone, is he really here to restrain us? This is clearly pushing us into a fire pit. Sigh! Being arrogant is fine as long as you stay in the Daluo Sect, but don't you even consider who Yue Qianchou is? Does he care what sect you're ranked in the Cultivation World? Even the sect leader, Luo Qingtian, with his mid- mid Tribulation stage cultivation, had an arm crippled in a one-on-one fight with him. What are you, an early Tribulation stage Transcending cultivator, doing here looking for trouble!
Liu Xu turned and exchanged glances with the group behind him, noticing the underlying worry on their faces. They clearly shared his concerns. Liu Xu couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly, hoping that Elder Zhao was deliberately saying such things to avoid losing face in front of his disciples!
"What are you afraid of? Just prepare for it." Several combined sonic booms echoed from afar, and upon closer inspection, they revealed six flying Law Artifact, exactly the number Yue Qianchou had brought. The expressions of the dozen or so people changed drastically. After exchanging bewildered glances, they all looked towards Elder Zhao in front. Zhao Chang gave a soft snort, hovering his flying magical Law Artifact above the clouds, gazing into the distance.
Six black dots appeared in the distance, flying in formation at high speed. They would soon meet. Zhao Chang directly controlled his flying Law Artifact and shot out, domineeringly blocking the path of the six flying Law Artifact.
The six flying magical Law Artifact had clearly spotted them as well, slowing down and approaching cautiously. The group from the Daluo Sect scrutinized the six flying magical Law Artifact opposite them; their shapes were strange, and even under the bright sunlight, they gave off a Yin Qi feeling, with eyes at their front. Through those transparent eyes, they could vaguely see someone sitting inside.
"The Daluo Sect, acting on the decree of the Cultivation Alliance, is here to inspect any suspicious cultivators. If you have a pass token, present it immediately; if not, open your cabin and submit to inspection." Zhao Chang clearly wanted to intimidate Yue Qianchou and the others, and his shout was deafening, even to the disciples behind him.
A group of anxious Daluo Sect held their breath, watching the other side's movements. After Zhao Chang shouted, the three flying magical Law Artifact in the front triangle suddenly stirred, and the eye-like structures all closed.
The group was confused. Zhao Chang snorted and shouted again, "The Fuluo Sect obeys the decree of the Cultivation Alliance! How dare you!"
The tone of the shout suddenly changed, startling the group. Three flying magical Law Artifact shot towards them with a "whoosh," directly ramming into the smaller flying Law Artifact beneath their feet without a warning.
"My God!" The disciples of the Daluo Sect cried out in surprise, immediately splitting up and jumping off their flying Law Artifact. After swerving to avoid the impact, they released their flying swords and used them to stabilize themselves in mid-air. Looking up, they saw Zhao Chang clearly still trying to dodge. However, the event was sudden, and the three monstrous objects, having been deliberately designed to attack, immediately caused a loud "bang" in the air. Zhao Chang sprang into the air and darted away, his flying magical Law Artifact being sent flying a great distance before tumbling towards his beloved husband...
The group of disciples were still shaken. A bad feeling crept into their hearts. They were fine at first, but it seemed that as soon as they heard that it was the Daluo Sect, the other party immediately became impolite. It was clear that the other party did not care about the Daluo Sect!
"How dare you defy the decrees of the Cultivation Alliance!" Zhao Chang shouted, and a cold light flashed from his Storage Bag. Guided by him, it first soared into the sky, then quickly turned around and shot towards a flying Law Artifact.
With a loud "bang," the flying sword struck its target smoothly. Zhao Chang recalled his sword, slightly taken aback. His full-force attack had left the opponent's flying Law Artifact completely undamaged; even the scratch was barely noticeable, almost invisible. Good heavens! What materials was this flying Law Artifact made of?
The disciples of the Daluo Sect below all paled. Zhao Chang's sword strike had stirred up a hornet's nest; dozens of dark figures emerged from the struck flying magical Law Artifact. A dozen or so shot into the sky, surrounding Zhao Chang from all sides. The others scattered, and in a flash, the disciples found themselves each facing a masked man in black, his gaze indifferently fixed upon them.
The words "Rogue Cultivator" on the black-clad man's chest sent a shiver down the spines of the disciples, who immediately recalled a recent rumor, "Yan Bugui a group of Tribulation Transcendence stage experts in a sneak attack on Hundred Flower Valley. Yue Qianchou suddenly intervened, and his six hundred Rogue Cultivator nearly wiped out the entire group of Tribulation Transcendence stage experts without suffering any losses themselves."
Zhao Chang looked around in mid-air and saw that he was surrounded by a group of masked men dressed in black, all of whom were at the early Tribulation stage Realm with cultivation levels similar to his own. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, "How dare you! I am a disciple of Luo Kun of the Daluo Sect. You bunch of Rogue Cultivator dare to surround me? Are you tired of living?"
"Who is Luo Kun?" A strange question came from below. Zhao Chang looked down and saw a man and two women standing on a flying magical Law Artifact. The man was asking a question to a beautiful woman.
The alluring woman chuckled and said, "Luo Kun is a retainer of the Daluo Sect at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. It is said that his cultivation ranks third in the Daluo Sect. He is the leader of the Daluo Sect on the coast of the East Sea this time."
"Oh! Then I'll have to ask him later why his Daluo Sect keeps causing me trouble." The man nodded slightly.
Zhao Chang shouted, "Who's down here? Come up and answer me." Even at this point, his tone remained so forceful, truly displaying the imposing presence of a powerful figure.
"Where did this old bastard come from? He really doesn't know his place." After cursing, the man waved his hand and pointed, saying, "Cut that stubborn guy into a human stick, seal his Dantian, and bring him over. Don't kill him, though; this is my greeting gift to the Daluo Sect."
