After Yang Cheng left, the Golden Cauldron Immortal in the main hall struck the golden cauldron behind him, and a sound as loud as a great bell suddenly rang out.
A thick, misty fog emanated from the overturned cauldron, enveloping the Golden Cauldron Immortal and making him appear almost like an immortal.
With a sudden inhale, the misty vapor, resembling two long dragons, was drawn into his nostrils. His entire body shimmered with a strange, transparent luster before disappearing after a moment.
“Di Kui”.
"Your subordinate is here."
Di Kui immediately emerged from the side hall.
"Although Yang Cheng didn't use your men, you should still secretly follow him. If anything changes, kill Yang Cheng immediately!"
"The One Immortal Sect is something I've painstakingly cultivated over the years; I have no intention of expending that effort to train another batch."
Di Kui quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys."
Jin Ding Zhenren tossed Di Kui a jet-black short sword and said calmly, "Use this. No matter how strong Yang Cheng's physical cultivation is, he can't withstand this sword."
Di Kui looked at the black short sword, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Yang Cheng took the token to the Yixian Sect, where the two Taoist priests who had previously threatened Wu Tianqing were in charge.
"Haha, I was right about Lord Yang. I knew from our first meeting that you were no ordinary person."
The tall Taoist priest greeted Yang Cheng with a smile and cupped his hands in congratulations, his attitude very kind.
Although the Yixian Sect was powerful in the capital, they knew that they were just using the power of others for their own benefit, and that they were not on the same level as Di Kui, a confidant who could truly help Jin Ding Zhenren.
Now, in their eyes, Yang Cheng was also working for Jin Ding Zhenren and could be considered a confidant, so their attitude naturally became more respectful.
"You two are too kind. I am here on the orders of the Grand Preceptor, and I need the cooperation of all the Taoist priests of the Yixian Sect."
The two quickly replied, "We are willing to follow Lord Yang's orders."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Cheng finally understood what the Yixian Sect was really like.
The two Taoist priests, one with the Taoist name Shouyue and the other with the Taoist name Jingming, were both head priests of the Yixian Sect.
The One Immortal Sect has only one leader, the Golden Cauldron True Man. Because he does not need to cultivate or fight, there is no position such as a deputy leader.
The entire Yixian Sect only has five head priests who are the leaders of this group of Taoists and are responsible for the daily arrangements of various tasks.
Shouyue was in charge of collecting incense offerings, while Jingming was in charge of arranging for people to refine elixirs, so these two held the highest positions.
Moreover, both of them were legitimate Taoist disciples before joining the Yixian Sect. Although their cultivation was weak, they still had some foundation, which is why they were able to obtain the position of head Taoist priest.
As for the other three, one is in charge of logistics and food, one is in charge of counting money, and the other is in charge of distributing various alchemy materials. None of them are important positions, so apart from Jin Ding Zhenren, the two of them have the most power in the Yi Xian Sect.
Of course, this right only applies within the Yixian Sect. Under the command of Jin Ding Zhenren, the Taoists of the Yixian Sect have little status.
People like Di Kui need to be strong and capable to be considered irreplaceable.
As for the Taoists of the Yixian Sect, any junior Taoist with some foundation can be taught for a month and they can almost participate in the work of alchemy. After a few months of assisting, they will be familiar with it, so it doesn't matter if they are replaced at will.
Yang Cheng left behind a group of people who urgently needed to refine pills, and took over a thousand people with him. He openly went to find Old Daoist Cui, and the group headed straight for Hundred Victory Mountain.
Di Kui, carrying the short sword given to him by Jin Ding Zhenren, hung far behind Yang Cheng.
However, he was unaware that Han Yu was also using a secret technique to conceal his presence and was following behind him.
On the way, Old Master Cui took out a jade talisman and whispered, "That Golden Cauldron True Man was indeed up to no good. Han Yu sent word that Di Kui is following us closely."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "It would be strange if True Master Jin Ding entrusted so many people from the One Immortal Sect to me and didn't send someone to keep an eye on them."
"It doesn't matter. If Di Kui doesn't dare to step forward, let him watch from behind."
Baisheng Mountain is actually a collective name for a huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles and directly blocks the northern passage of the Liang Kingdom.
Only at Mount Baisheng are there a few narrow, man-made mountain paths; the rest of the mountain range is far more dangerous.
If traveling merchants did not take the route through Baisheng Mountain, they would have to travel hundreds of miles to reach Liang Kingdom, which would be a huge waste of time.
So, although the outside world has always known that there are many evil spirits in Baisheng Mountain, there are still some fearless people who would travel from Baisheng Mountain to Liang Kingdom.
Of course, most of them were unaware of the situation, or some were taking a chance.
As they traveled along, the closer they got to Mount Baisheng, the fewer people they saw. Some villages had been completely abandoned, and occasionally, yellowed skeletons could be seen scattered on the main road.
Given the current situation, this site may be shut down at any time. Please switch to the permanently operating source-switching app, huanyuanapp, as soon as possible.
Yang Cheng did not choose the time to attack Baisheng Mountain randomly; he deliberately chose today.
According to Han Yu's intelligence, Baisheng Mountain holds a 'human banquet' every year.
The monsters of Mount Baisheng are actually scattered throughout the Mount Baisheng mountain range, and they only gather in the Thousand Demon Cave when the human banquet is held.
As the name suggests, this "Human Feast" involves selecting the best-tasting people from those captured that year and having them eaten by a host of monsters.
