Chapter 851 - 346: Purple Moon Sect (2)

"Could it be that they were cultivating in a Major Sect before and have just come out to explore?"

"That’s possible." Yue Qing nodded and then asked Li Liquan:

"Senior Brother Li, do you think they have any connection with Yaochi Palace?"

"I understand your concern, Junior Brother Yue." Li Liquan shook his head with a smile at this moment.

"Whatever their relationship is, we don’t need to speculate. The information about Yaochi Palace isn’t a secret; it’s unlikely that Purple Moon Sect would seek us out based on a few words.

However, if we didn’t speak honestly with these two, they might cause us trouble if they happen to learn the information elsewhere.

So, I agree with you, Junior Brother, about sharing all the details of Yaochi Palace we know."

Hearing Li Liquan’s words, Yue Qing’s expression visibly relaxed a bit, and he smiled bitterly at Li Liquan:

"Small Sects must tread carefully to establish themselves in the Cultivation Realm.

Perhaps only those sects with Nascent Soul Cultivators can manage better."

"Nascent Soul!" Li Liquan shook his head gently upon hearing this.

"Neither of us has much chance, but if we were like those two just now, there would be opportunity."

The two couldn’t help but talk again about the young man and woman who suddenly appeared.

Meanwhile, Chu Ning and Bai Ling, who were being discussed, had already flown hundreds of miles away.

Bai Ling looked at Chu Ning, whose expression was as calm as water, and initiated conversation:

"Young Master, are we heading to Little Yao Mountain to find Fairy Cen?"

Chu Ning nodded, "Let’s go have a look, regardless, we must see whether Cen Zijin is dead or alive.

With Cen Zijin’s talent, she wouldn’t be a nobody within the palace. If someone from Yaochi Palace managed to escape, they should know some news about her."

"Don’t worry, Young Master; Fairy Cen is blessed with fortune and should be safe." Bai Ling consoled him.

"Let’s hope so!" Chu Ning responded, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.

Bai Ling watched Chu Ning’s expression, understanding that Cen Zijin better not be in trouble, or else it might spell disaster for Purple Sun Sect.

Even if they have Nascent Soul Cultivators, as long as they aren’t above the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, Chu Ning absolutely has the power to contend.

However, if the opponent has cultivators of such level, though Chu Ning wouldn’t now risk life-and-death confrontation driven by hot blood, the debt will be settled with Purple Sun Sect once he promotes to Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Two months later, in the central part of East Saint Continent, Wangshan City.

This place is the largest city within ten thousand miles radius.

The city hosts a mix of cultivators and mortals, with mortals making up eighty percent.

Regarding cultivators, most are Low Tier Independent Cultivators.

After all, this city is situated between Little Yao Mountain, Star Sea Mountain, Xia Yun Mountain, and Yellow Rock Valley, areas for cultivation.

High Tier Cultivators generally move into these four mountains to cultivate.

Originally, the four mountains housed the Four Great Sects, Yaochi Palace, Star Sea Sect, Xia Guang Sect, and Yellow Rock Valley.

The Four Great Sects coexisted relatively harmoniously, ensuring order within Wangshan City under their joint jurisdiction.

Incidents of Major Sect cultivators oppressing loose cultivators or loose cultivators bullying mortals were rare.

However, everything changed in recent years.

Since Yaochi Palace was exterminated by Purple Moon Sect eight years ago, more Demonic Section cultivators and loose cultivators have come to this city.

These cultivators are far less disciplined than before, with conflicts occurring frequently.

Some cultivators even regard mortal lives as insignificant.

Both ordinary Low Tier Cultivators and mortals are silently suffering.

Many cultivators and mortals wish to leave for other places.

However, to leave outside this city, they either must go through the Four Great Sects’ territories.

Or they can only cross the northernmost Chaotic Beast Mountain, where Demon Beasts often appear.

Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators and mortals have no opportunity.

This day in Wangshan City is livelier than before, with numerous Foundation Establishment Independent Cultivators arriving from elsewhere.

Most Qi Cultivation Cultivators and mortals in the city are also staying indoors.

Inside a pavilion in the city, two cultivators sit facing each other, occasionally looking out through the window at the bustling cultivators coming and going.

One cultivator, at Qi Cultivation Perfection, asks:

"Brother Xu, why are there so many cultivators appearing in Wangshan City? Is Purple Moon Sect planning something again?"

The one called Brother Xu is a middle-aged male cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He looked at his friend and spoke of news only Foundation Establishment Cultivators received.

"It’s said that Purple Moon Sect needs to recruit many Foundation Establishment Cultivators into the sect as stewards.

Hence, so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from other places have come.

As a Demon Sect, Purple Moon Sect doesn’t have strict entry requirements like other sects.

Word is that any Foundation Establishment Cultivator can join if they agree to certain conditions."

Upon hearing Brother Xu’s explanation, the cultivator who spoke earlier quickly asked:

"Brother Xu, what about you?"

The middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xu revealed a conflicted expression upon hearing this.

"Logically, joining another Major Sect now with such an opportunity isn’t bad.

Moreover, our cultivation techniques aren’t exactly Righteous or Demonic.

However, Purple Moon Sect acts brutally, and I have concerns that joining wouldn’t be as straightforward."

The cultivator first spoke at Qi Cultivation Perfection nodded at this.

"Indeed, it’s puzzling to know why Purple Moon Sect suddenly recruits so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators as stewards."

A fleeting look of hesitation crossed the face of the middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xu, but he ultimately chose not to speak further, only saying:
