Chapter 157: Thunder Pool

On the ninth peak of the Nine Mountains, the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

Such a big thing happened that even Uncle Pang went to the Ninth Peak in person. Sun Daoyu and Zhou Qianyuan who followed him seemed a little confused.

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Yuan are also here.

As soon as Uncle Pang came up the mountain, he shouted, "Brother, what happened?"

His face looked very anxious.

The head of the sect was somewhat calm: "Junior Sister Huang sent a message back, she was late."

"What do you mean it's late?"

"She first went to Changchun Sect to check out the situation, but found that the place was empty and even the spiritual veins were destroyed."

The others couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

This is no longer a matter of wiping out the entire family - this is digging out even the roots, which shows how cruel it is.

The head of the sect continued, "Having lost the clue, Junior Sister Huang could only look for it in the Thunder Pond. She searched for several days but found nothing... until later, she discovered the traces of many disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

"many?"

Uncle Pang frowned.

"Yes, later she followed these demon sect disciples and realized that Changchun Sect was destroyed by the Great Freedom Demon Sect... The head of Changchun Sect discovered their tracks and was about to report the news to Junior Brother Zhang when they found him."

"The Great Freedom Demon Sect?" Uncle Pang had a puzzled expression on his face: "Why did they send so many people to Taiyang County?"

This was also what Zheng Fa was puzzled about.

It is understandable that Zheng Fa was targeting geniuses to kill because the Great Freedom Demon Cult was targeting geniuses to kill - this was because they had learned their lesson from history.

But the Changchun faction was completely wiped out.

This behavior is a bit too conspicuous.

Today, the Xuanwei Realm is still dominated by the Immortal Sect.

No matter how powerful the Demon Sect is, it is at a disadvantage in this disaster.

"They are not coming to Taiyang County." Unexpectedly, the head of the sect shook his head and said with a bit of depression: "They are already in Taiyang County."

"ah?"

"According to Junior Sister Huang, this time the spirit cave appeared, along with a thunder pond, causing huge changes underground - it seems that the secret realm of the Great Freedom Demon Sect has been exposed."

“…”

Zheng Fa was speechless.

Why do I feel like the Great Freedom Demon Sect is the one that is wronged? They were hiding and developing well, but then a spiritual cave fell from the sky.

Uncle Pang was also speechless.

He pursed his lips and his expression became even more serious.

Zheng Fa could understand the meaning of this.

This was a sudden encounter and no one was prepared.

But on the other hand, if the Great Freedom Demon Sect is blocked at its doorstep, they will most likely fight to the death if they get anxious.

"What about Junior-Martial Brother Zhang and the others?"

"Junior Sister Huang followed the disciples of the Demon Sect and found the disciples that Junior Brother Zhang had taken away. When they arrived at Changchun Sect, they were ambushed by the disciples of the Demon Sect. Junior Brother Zhang could only lead them to hide everywhere."

"And then?"

Hearing this, even Zheng Fa became a little anxious.

“After all, that is the lair of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. Junior Brother Zhang is outnumbered and injured in the face of several Nascent Souls. He can only lead them towards the Thunder Pond…” The Sect Leader shook his head and said, “With the help of the power of the Thunder Pond, they can barely hold on.”

"What do you mean... using the power of the Thunder Pond?"

Uncle Pang didn't understand again.

"That thunder pond is extremely violent... According to Junior Sister Huang, the higher your cultivation level, the more careful you have to be in that thunder pond. If you reveal your cultivation level above foundation building, you will be struck by heavenly thunder."

“If it’s above the Golden Core stage, it’s like a thousand thunderbolts hitting the top of the head. If it’s above the Nascent Soul stage… I heard that a demon sect’s Nascent Soul was bombarded to death because it was too arrogant.”

“…”

Zheng Fa's mouth twitched.

He also knew why Senior Sister Zhang hid in the forbidden area.

To put it simply, she was prepared to use her rich experience in low-level fighting to defeat these shameless Yuanyings.

"Did Junior Sister Huang find Junior Brother Zhang?"

“No, she fought with several demon sect Yuanying and went deep into the thunder pool.” The head of the sect frowned and said, “The disciples who were separated from her suffered heavy losses.”

Hearing this.

Everyone was silent.

Although this matter is not as urgent as Senior Sister Yuan seems to be.

But it's also difficult to handle.

It goes without saying that the missing Senior Sister Zhang is very important to the Jiushan Sect.

The bigger problem is the secret realm of the Great Freedom Demon Cult - Taiyang County is considered to be the territory of the Jiushan Sect. The appearance of a secret realm of the Demon Cult in this place is really a bit scary.

"I will ask the Hundred Immortals Alliance for help on this matter." The head of the sect said decisively: "How can we let the Nine Mountains Sect handle such a big matter as the Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

Zheng Fa nodded.

My master's words are very clear. There is no point in talking about the moral code of the martial arts world when fighting against the evil sect. Let's all fight shoulder to shoulder!

Uncle Pang, on the other hand, seemed a little reluctant: "This... the spirit stone mine in the spirit cave, and the thunder pool."

"The Spirit Stone Mine has to be discussed by us Yuanyings. I think the Thunder Pond is more important... We need to send some disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage." The head of the sect hesitated and said, "We must find it, nephew Zhang. The Thunder Pond is better for disciples with lower cultivation levels to go there."

"On the other hand, the Thunder Pond is very beneficial to our sect's most powerful true teaching, 'The Divine Sky Controlling Thunder True Method'. If we can occupy the Thunder Pond, our Jiushan Sect may be able to regain its former glory in the future."

"rational."

Uncle Pang nodded slowly.

Zheng Fa could feel that everyone present was secretly looking at him.

He knew what they were thinking.

This minefield is extremely beneficial to me——

Although he is still only practicing Qi, his spiritual awareness is now comparable to that of a foundation-building stage, and when he casts talismans, he also has the power of a foundation-building stage.

On the other hand, he practiced the "Five Thunder Dharma Body", which focused on the ability to withstand thunder.

If there is anyone in Jiushan Sect who can thrive in the thunder pool, it can only be him.

He even believed that everyone present knew this.

"Master, I'll bring some people..."

"You can't!" the headmaster suddenly said, "I'm not going to let you go."

"ah?"

Looking at his master, Zheng Fa was a little confused.

It is obviously the most suitable one for me.

"Junior apprentice sister Zhang is indeed important, but you are now as talented as she is." The head of the sect hesitated and said, "She has disappeared. I will not let you take any risks."

"Can……"

"You are my disciple!" The head of the sect suddenly put on the airs of a master: "Listen to me."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Looking at the old man's somewhat serious face, Zheng Fa didn't know what to say.

Uncle Pang on the side nodded and said, "That's true. We still don't know what happened to Martial Nephew Zhang. Let's wait until we find him. Zheng Fa, don't act rashly."

Seeing that Uncle Pang also objected, Zheng Fa pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Seeing that he stopped talking, the headmaster and Uncle Pang nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied.

"Who should we send?" Uncle Pang frowned. "This person can't have a high level of cultivation. It's best if he's at the foundation building stage. But he has to have some prestige in the sect and be able to suppress the other disciples."

There aren't many candidates.

The Jiushan Sect has two lineages.

Zheng Fa is the most suitable person for Senior Sister Zhang's lineage, but the head of the sect does not allow him to go.

We can only look for it among Uncle Pang’s lineage.

Uncle Pang looked at Zhou Qianyuan and Sun Daoyu beside him.

Among their disciples, there are only a few who have prestige, and the two in front of them are among them.

The two people in front of me are the most suitable.

"Qianyuan... your current cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining Stage, and you only have one spiritual root, only one spiritual root..." Uncle Pang seemed a little reluctant: "It's not suitable."

He turned and looked at Sun Daoyu standing beside him.

"Dao Yu, you have dual spiritual roots, no, you are just at the foundation-building stage, you can go!"

Sun Daoyu: “?”

…

After everyone else left, Zheng Fa followed his master into the thatched cottage.

Neither of them spoke.

"Why, do you have something to tell me?" Seeing that he was not leaving, the headmaster suddenly asked, "Want to go find your Senior Sister Zhang?"

"No..." Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts: "Master, why don't you let me go? I am obviously the most suitable one."

"Suitable?" The head of the sect muttered, curling his lips and saying, "You are my disciple."

“…”

"In my lifetime, I have only received three personal disciples."

“…”

"Two of them died because they went out."

“…”

Zheng Fa finally understood why the old man was unwilling when he heard that he wanted to leave Jiushan Sect.

This is almost like having a mental demon.

"Junior Brother Zhang is of course extremely talented and is extremely important to our Jiushan Sect. He is the future of our sect, but he is Junior Sister Huang's disciple." The head of the sect suddenly looked outside the door and said, "You are my only disciple now."

“…”

"In fact, I am not stopping you from going. Even if it weren't for the matter with Junior-Martial-Nephew Zhang, you'd better go to the Thunder Pond when your Five Thunder Dharmakaya is fully developed."

"Um?"

"The fifth step of the Five Thunder Body Technique is to draw in the heavenly thunder to refine your body. Even if you have practiced the first four steps, it is still a bit dangerous for you." The head explained: "The advantage of the Thunder Pond is that there are not only many thunder-attributed spiritual plants suitable for the Divine Sky Controlling Thunder True Method, but also many different levels of heavenly thunder, which can allow you to use heavenly thunder to cleanse your body as safely as possible."

"That……"

"Let your uncle Pang's disciples find out clearly. You should practice for a while and wait until you reach the tenth level of Qi Refining before going there." The head of the sect said leisurely, "There are all kinds of people there now. It's hard to tell how many people there are from the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

"Thank you, Master, for your protection."

Zheng Fa was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.

It was not until today that he was truly sure that his master was planning for him.

"Actually, this is not just my idea. Junior Brother Zhang came to me before he left."

"Um?"

"She said that if anything happened to her, she asked me to stop you first."

"ah?"

Zheng Fa blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that Senior Sister Zhang would give this explanation.

"She said that you would be a good leader, better than me and better than her." The leader seemed to be recalling Senior Sister Zhang's words: "To the Jiushan Sect, you are more important than her."

Zheng Fa slowly walked down the ninth peak and came to Senior Sister Zhang's yard.

He paced slowly in the yard, from the study to the backyard, sat in the pavilion in the backyard, and listened to the rumbling sound of the waterfall behind him.

After sitting for a long time, he stood up again and walked slowly towards the garden.

The route they walked was exactly the same as the route Senior Sister Zhang and he usually took when they discussed the Dao.

At the end, Zheng Fa actually felt as if Senior Sister Zhang was by his side.

He turned his head, but did not see the familiar figure.
