Chapter 439: Taoist Sect Gathers at Yuanqing Sect
In the Wuji Palace, Master Fuyin stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the Hunyuan Instrument, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, Han Yang walked up to the hall, bowed, and called him "Acting Master Uncle".
"Can the Taoist order be dispersed?" asked Master Fuyin without turning his head.
"One hundred and twenty-eight orders were received, sixty of whom returned to the sect, thirty more are still on the road, twelve are traveling to various sects to lobby, and twenty-six have not yet received the orders."
"Hmm..." Master Fuyin responded and said nothing more.
These twenty-six disciples were in great danger. With only a hundred or so people and varying levels of cultivation, they were simply unable to contend with the demons.
Now we can only place our hopes on those twelve disciples.
Seeing Master Fuyin's solemn expression, Han Yang couldn't help but worry: "Uncle Master, are those sects really willing to come and help?"
Master Fuyin remained silent, just staring at the Hunyuan Instrument motionlessly, and only let out a soft sigh after a long time.
"Han Yang, remember this: on ordinary days, there might be some friction between the Dao sects. This is normal."
"After all, no matter how much we cultivate, we are still mortals, subject to the seven emotions, so small quarrels are inevitable."
"But people in the Dao Sect will never be confused about right and wrong."
"For those of us who practice cultivation, the heart is paramount, and hard work is secondary. Following our hearts doesn't mean we just do whatever we want."
"Think about Lingxiang. Why would someone so arrogant and unbridled on weekdays risk her life to go deep into the Tiger Cave?"
Han Yang listened to the words and pondered for a moment. After thinking it through, he bowed apologetically and said, "I am narrow-minded."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall: "Daoyou, that's a great idea!"
Master Fuyin turned around and saw a man in a crane cloak walking towards him with big strides.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Master Fuyin quickly came forward and said, "Brother Xuanhuai, how are you?"
It turned out to be Master Xuan Huai, the head of Kunwu Sect.
The two sides exchanged greetings and introduced their disciples to each other before getting down to business.
"Brother Dao, I am deeply grateful for your generous help."
After Fu Yin finished speaking, he bowed again, but was stopped by Xuan Huai.
"Why do you say that, fellow Daoist? If it weren't for you and the young elder, our Kunwu Sect would have fallen into the hands of the demons. Now that your sect has been summoned, and the demons are involved, we cannot stand idly by."
After hearing this, Fu Yin stopped being polite, extended his hand to greet the guest, and led Taoist Xuan Huai to the observatory.
As soon as the two sat down, Xuan Huai looked apologetic.
"The Kunwu sect is small, with only 50 or so members, even at 70% strength. I appreciate the hard work of our founder, and to ensure the continuation of the sect, I will entrust the remaining disciples to Junior Brother Xuantan for instruction. I feel guilty for not being able to give my all, and I hope you will forgive me."
Master Fuyin naturally understood the difficulties faced by the Kunwu Sect and quickly waved his hand, saying, "The continuation of the sect is a major matter. Kunwu Sect is facing such adversity and still offers timely assistance. This is truly a noble act. The entire Yuanqing sect cannot express their gratitude enough. How can you say you are offended? Brother, please do not blame yourself."
"That's right! Could it be that your Kunwu Sect is the only Taoist sect in the world?"
Before seeing the person, they heard his voice first, and everyone hurried out to greet him. They saw an old man walking briskly, followed by Hui Yan.
The person who came was none other than True Man Xunfeng of the Tai Shang Sect. Since True Man Lieyang passed away, the burden of being the head of the sect fell on him.
After greeting each other, Master Xunfeng clasped his hands and pretended to whisper something into the ears of the two masters.
"When I came here, I went to the Lingji Sword Pavilion. The Pavilion Master should be on his way with other sects right now."
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin bowed deeply and said, "I am already ashamed of not being able to protect Senior Brother Lieyang, and now I have to trouble Senior Brother Xunfeng to run back and forth. I am truly ashamed."
Master Xunfeng smacked his lips, and while raising his seal, he was annoyed at his unfamiliarity.
"Brother Lieyang died a martyr. That was destiny, what does it have to do with you? If there's any need for reckoning, it should be on the demons. Now that we have this opportunity, everyone in the Supreme Sect is rushing to get involved!"
Xun Feng Zhenren waved his sleeves, as if he was ready to argue with anyone who gossiped, and then he said:
"Yuanqing is a sect, Taishang is a clan. We were originally one family. Now that Yuanqing has issued an order, as a branch clan, we should do our utmost to help. Why would you say 'trouble me'?"
At this moment, another voice came from outside the door:
"Since Junior Master-Uncle has said so, Yuan Qing will boldly accept this favor. When we win in the future, I will definitely come to your house to express my gratitude."
As soon as he finished speaking, four figures filed in from outside the hall. They were Shangqing Zhenren and three Yuanqing elders.
There was another round of greetings, and when everyone was seated, Master Fuyin stood up and apologized:
"Fuyin took the initiative to attack the demon clan without reporting it to the head teacher, Senior Brother. I hope Senior Brother will punish me."
Shangqing Zhenren waved his hand and said, "The power of leadership has been entrusted to you. You have the final say on how to make decisions. How can you talk about punishment?"
Then he smiled and leaned towards Master Qianyuan and joked, "Sixth Junior Brother, you are so serious that it makes me look inferior."
True Man Qian Yuan also nodded in agreement and praised True Man Xun Feng, "Sixth Junior Brother accepted the order in a time of crisis. He has worked tirelessly for the past three years and has managed the sect perfectly. He is much better than the two of us old bones."
After everyone laughed, Master Fuyin sat down and told everyone about his plan for the substitution technique.
"It is a good plan, but if it does so, Sixth Junior Brother will have to make a huge sacrifice. I'm afraid that in the future..." Master Chengxin was worried.
Master Fuyin shook his head: "Back then, Lingxiang risked her life to protect all living beings. Now we don't know if she is safe or not. My life span and cultivation are just a mere matter of what."
Then he sighed, "I only regret that I can't go there myself and kill the Demon Lord to avenge Master, Master, and Fifth Brother."
"Since Sixth Junior Brother has made this decision, then let's follow his decision." Shangqing Zhenren stopped Chengxin Zhenren who was about to speak. "But relying on Sixth Junior Brother alone is probably not enough. How about..."
"Why don't you count me in?" said Xuan Huai Zhenren. "Fairy Tumi has done Kunwu a favor, and friend Lingxiang even saved Kunwu from the clutches of the devil. How can we not repay such a favor?"
Master Fuyin was about to stop him, but Master Xuanhuai smiled and waved his hand: "Young friend Lingxiang is so enlightened, can I really lose to her?"
"How about this," Shangqing Zhenren said, "My disciples' cultivation is still shallow, so they don't need too much talisman power. They can be handed over to Brother Xuanhuai and Sixth Junior Brother. Uncle Xunfeng and Junior Brothers Chengxin and Donghui can take care of the talisman skills, and give them to Junior Brother Qianyuan and me."
"No!" Master Fuyin quickly spoke up to stop them. "Brothers, you are already seriously injured and haven't recovered yet. It's inappropriate for you to force yourself out of seclusion at this time. How can you perform the blood talisman method?"
However, the Immortal Shangqing said, "We are old, and the sect will eventually be handed over to the next generation. It is only natural for us to make plans and contributions for the younger generation. There is no need for you to mind, Junior Brother."
Qian Yuan Zhenren interjected: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, Senior Brother has it under control. Senior Brother and I also want to see our disciples and grandchildren strengthen Yuan Qing."
Master Fuyin wanted to say something else, but Danyang and Danzhu walked into the hall at this time.
The old man with the bamboo stick has arrived.
When the four Shangqing people came out of retreat, the two of them specially went to invite the old man with the bamboo stick. With him in charge to protect them, everything would be more secure.
