The Loose Cultivator Northern River's Camera Time Was Cut Short

The scene depicting the Destruction of Skycloud Sect is currently at its climax.

Thanks to the superb acting skills of the seniors in the "Nine Provinces Number One Group", the elders and disciples of the Skycloud Sect were "killed" one after another.

Most of the ordinary disciples were played by Venerable Spirit Butterfly's subordinates, and their average cultivation level was around the second or Third-Grade.

Faced with the attacks of the Nine Nether Demons, they offered only token resistance before happily lying on the ground pretending to be corpses. They possessed the same 'transparent and powerful' defensive spells as the True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey and the True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, ensuring the safety of everyone's lives.

As a result, the Nine Nether Demons's mind completely collapsed.

What on earth is going on here?

It's one thing for powerful cultivators to lie down and pretend to be dead mid-fight, but why do ordinary second and Third-Grade cultivators also lie down and 'die' mid-fight?

Since the start of the direct battle, wave after wave of the Nine Nether Demons have been killed, but the human cultivators... damn it, not a single one has been injured; they're all lying on the ground pretending to be dead!

How can we have a pleasant battle like this?

No matter how much the Nine Nether Demons complained, the movie's plot continued to unfold.

Finally, it was Northern River's Loose Cultivator's turn to make his appearance.

The treatment he received was clearly different from that of fellow Daoist 'Bright Moon, When Will You Be' —when Northern River's Loose Cultivator appeared, the main camera and auxiliary cameras immediately focused on him.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator plays the role of [Daoist Inaction True Person Wudao], the junior brother of the Skycloud Sect leader!

After taking the stage, Northern River's Loose Cultivator wiped the blood from his face and went to the sect leader's side.

His voice was filled with boundless sorrow and reluctance. "Sect Leader, the Skycloud Sect can no longer hold out. Other sects won't be able to come to our aid in time. We... should evacuate."

The face of the [Daoist Inaction], played by True Lord Dustfall, stiffened. After struggling internally for a long time, he sighed heavily, "Junior Brother Wudao, you take some disciples and leave first... They are the seeds of the Skycloud Sect. As long as they are still here, our Skycloud Sect will not perish!"

"And what about you, Senior Brother?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked, frowning.

"I will hold off these Evil Realm demons for you. Don't worry about me, I am already dying. If this crippled body can buy you some time, that will be enough." True Lord Dustfall smiled gently. The [Daoist Inaction] he was playing had white hair, a pale beard, and his face was covered with wrinkles, clearly indicating that his lifespan was running out.

"No, senior brother, you are the leader of the sect! With you here, our Skycloud Sect has a backbone... Leave the rearguard matters to me!" said the [True Person Wudao], played by Northern River's Loose Cultivator, firmly.

Before his senior brother could answer, Northern River's Loose Cultivator had already rushed out, gathering disciples from various sects who were willing to stay behind with him to cover their retreat.

The sect leader Daoist Inaction Wuwei, sighed softly.

Then, he said to a monk beside him, "Fellow Daoist Dumb... I've implicated you. You were a guest at my Skycloud Sect, and yet this happened."

The Mute Monk Master Profound Principle beside him clasped his hands together, silently shook his head, and revealed a peaceful smile.

[Daoist Inaction] continued, "I have an unsolicited request: I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Dumb to escort the elite disciples of my Skycloud Sect to safety from this place."

The Mute Monk glanced at the 'Daoist Inaction' at first, but finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

Thus, under the arrangement of the sect leader 'Daoist Inaction', some young disciples of the Skycloud Sect were secretly gathered and protected by the Mute Monk, the Skycloud Sect's guardian beast [Heaven-Swallowing Cat], and several steady elders. They escaped from this place through the Skycloud Sect's secret passage and entered the intermission.

In the midst of the battlefield, Blade Without Trace, the 'guest of the Grand White Sword Sect' played by Su Clan’s Sixteen, was also pulled out of the battle and escorted away along with the young disciples.

Sixteen's face was full of reluctance; she hadn't had her fill of fighting yet.

During the filming of this scene, at least three cameras were constantly pointed at True Lord Dustfall, who played the role of 'Daoist Inaction'.

Fellow Daoist 'Bright Moon, When Will You Be Again' from the enemy camp even had tears in his eyes—this is too much!

Both are True Lord, and both are key figures in their respective factions, so why does True Lord Dustfall get so much more screen time... while his scene is only two seconds long, and only filmed by one camera?

This is unfair! This is so unfair!

After this play is over, he's determined to give the director, Jacob, a good talking-to about the cameraman.

************

On the other side.

Song Shuhang's 'Meteor Sword' finally arrived at the Vacation Manor.

The Meteor Sword was incredibly fast; with a 'whoosh,' it traversed the outer perimeter of the manor.

Even the Lay Buddhist Xian Gong and his companions, who were waiting outside the Vacation Manor, couldn't see clearly what flew by.

Lay Buddhist Flying Fish rubbed his eyes, which were hidden beneath his blue bangs. "Xian Gong, what was that thing that just flew by?"

"I didn't see it clearly either." Lay Buddhist Xian Gong took a deep drag on his pipe. "However, it should be Venerable White who has returned. Earlier, I saw the four-headed stupid snake carrying Venerable White and young friend Song Shuhang high into the sky... and just now, I think I smelled the scent of that stupid snake."

"Venerable White? Oh, that's who." Lay Buddhist Flying Fish nodded, then lost interest in the flying sword that had just swept past.

Although it's said that the 'Venerable White' is incredibly beautiful, she's not her type. She only likes female cultivators with skin so tender it looks like it could be squeezed for moisture.

A moment later.

The Meteor Sword stopped abruptly, instantly transforming from 'extreme movement' to 'extreme stillness'. Song Shuhang felt his heart couldn't take it.

Once the Meteor Sword came to a stop, he trembled as he released his grip on the Venerable White statue.

"Today, I, Song Shuhang, am lucky enough to have survived again." Shuhang murmured—from now on, he would never say words like "fly fast" to any magical artifacts, magic weapons, or flying swords related to 'Venerable White,' or he would die young!

Shuhang took a deep breath and looked down.

I wonder where the [Destruction of Skycloud Sect] storyline is at?

What a coincidence!

When Song Shuhang looked down, he saw the scene of Northern River's Loose Cultivator's 'heroic sacrifice'.

Outside the 'lens', Fairy Lychee reached out and grabbed a mantis-shaped 'Nine Nether Demons' that was brought before her by an invisible hand.

In this scene, the Fairy Lychee doesn't appear. So, she just stands on the sidelines doing things to support her teammates.

After catching the mantis-shaped Nine Nether Demons, Fairy Lychee reached out and lifted it up, then gently tossed it away.

The mantis-shaped Nine Nether Demons was thrown out in terror, crashing into Northern River's Loose Cultivator like a cannonball.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator, who had been slaughtering ordinary Nine Nether Demons, was already prepared. When the Nine Nether Demons crashed into him, Northern River's Loose Cultivator assumed a fighting stance and charged forward...

With a flash of light, the Mantis Demon's twin blades slashed out, striking Northern River's Loose Cultivator squarely in the waist. The next moment, Northern River's Loose Cultivator's prepared 'prop lower body' was severed, and the blood bags inside sprayed out, splattering blood all over the Mantis Demon's face.

"Ah~ Damn it, I actually died from a despicable sneak attack!" [True Person Wudao], played by Northern River's Loose Cultivator, said angrily.

The mantis demon's big eyes darted around—it was about to ambush your mom!

It was clearly your companion who threw me here, and you even ran into my twin swords yourself, okay? This is a frame-up!

Unfortunately, before the mantis demon could even cry out for justice, the upper body of [True Person Wudao] fiercely swung out a palm and slammed it onto its head.

With a single palm strike, he shattered the mantis demon's head into pieces.

Then, with only his upper body remaining, Northern River's Loose Cultivator smiled and said, "Senior brother, I have done my best."

After saying this, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. Blood flowed continuously from between his upper and lower body, and there were also very realistic intestines sliding out from his severed waist.

While lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse, Northern River's Loose Cultivator could still feel several cameras filming his 'corpse'.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator was extremely satisfied—he had meticulously prepared this prop lower body in order to perfectly portray the scene of 'True Person Wudao' being cut in half at the waist.

The blood and intestines are incredibly realistic!

Now it seems his preparations were worthwhile. With such realistic props, even if he dies, he'll still get a few more screen time in the movie!

Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator firmly believes this!

A moment later, Northern River's Loose Cultivator's exceptional hearing allowed him to hear the conversations between Director Jacob and his crew.

"Doesn't this scene look too realistic? It looks kind of bloody?"

"But this kind of scene feels so real!"

"But our movie isn't an R-rated violent and gory film, is it? Wouldn't it be too gory if the intestines were spilling out?"

"But this shot is really great, should we blur it out?"

"No, let's forget about it. Let's make an 'uncut version' of this scene and give it to Mr. Song and his friend. Then, let's cut this scene out of the version shown in theaters."

"That's the only way."

Agreed.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "..."

It's too realistic, so it's too gory? And then, this scene is going to be banned?

"I'm so wronged, you know!" Northern River's Loose Cultivator thought to himself.

Just then, the Medicine Master happened to pass by Northern River's Loose Cultivator's 'corpse' and whispered, "Brother Northern River, you take everything too seriously. Sometimes being too serious isn't a good thing. Hehe, now, let's watch the performance between Ziyan and me!"

Now, it's time for the scene of him and Jiang Ziyan sacrificing themselves.

************

At this moment, Song Shuhang quietly landed at the back of the film set.

Yu Jiaojiao greeted him, "Shuhang, you're back! You came pretty quickly!"

Song Shuhang smiled wryly; it was very fast, so fast that his legs were still a little weak.

Yu Jiaojiao handed over a new Daoist robe and said with a smile, "Quickly change into these clothes, and find an opportunity to sneak into the fleeing disciples of the 'Skycloud Sect.' When the Nine Nether Demons catch up, it will be your turn to die as 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng.'"
