Chapter 326: Striving to Conquer Panxing Sect (Part 1)
The next night, after bidding farewell to the reluctant white-haired boy and the boy with bangs, the player, who had gained nothing all day, finally got what he wanted. With the help of Ikeda Riro, he embarked on the road to the Panxing Sect.
"That's it. Aurora-chan, go straight ahead from here and you'll find the location of the Panxing Cult."
Ikeda Riku, who had disguised herself well, subconsciously tugged at her pigtails and asked worriedly, "You really don't need me to go with you? Actually, Xiaokui and I..."
Xiaokui and I also want to help you.
Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by a hand reaching out from the side.
"Don't worry, Li Luo-chan, it'll be fine." The player, holding out his hand, looked at the large number of hostile NPCs ahead, eager to try. "I'm full of energy right now!"
and……
"This land, with its high mountains and vast waters, looks really nice..." the player murmured, then added animatedly, "Just wait for my good news! Li Luo-chan!"
As he spoke, the player put on his communication headset, grabbed his weapon, and sneaked in under the cover of night.

The moment they entered the Panxing Sect, the players could only taste the taste of stagnation in the air.
This religion, which high school student Riku Ikeda said was famous far and wide and often visited by believers, now seemed to have been marinated with a sleeping potion. There was no sound from any living creature - even the small creatures that could be seen everywhere in the mountains had all gone dormant in a unique way, making the already quiet place even more dead.
It was a very strange scene, as if they had known about the players' presence for a long time and had chosen to evacuate completely - but the red dots all over the map confirmed that this was a wrong guess.
"Ah, this is very interesting."
The girl with black hair and golden eyes raised her eyebrows, strolled leisurely in the deep corridor as if no one was around, then suddenly took a step forward and swung out a long sword energy.
"Come out, I've seen you."
A moment later, a large group of people slowly walked out from the shadows at the end. They were as huge as the dark clouds in the daytime that the players saw today.
"I didn't expect you to be quite skilled... a sorcerer." The leading elder stroked his deliberately long beard, his eyes dark. "If it weren't for our special channels, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known of your existence until you arrived in front of us."
"That channel, wasn't it the scarred guy who told you about it? Or maybe some secretive guy used a communication tool to convey some information to you. Although you didn't take it seriously, you still took precautions... and ended up catching him."
Looking at the NPCs whose expressions changed drastically, the player raised his lips slightly and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that what I said was almost right?"
That sharp-toothed brain really spares no effort to cause trouble for the players...
"No one tipped us off. This was all Lord Tianyuan's order." The old man with the long beard glared coldly as he shouted, "You actually wanted to attack the barrier left behind by the incomparably great Lord Tianyuan. You will not be forgiven easily—"
"Come on, all of you—"
"Wow." The player curled his long hair with interest and said with a smile, "Aside from my friends, no one knows that I have any ideas about this confinement barrier... How did you know?"
Of course, Sharp Teeth and Brains are not considered human.
However, the old man with long beard ignored the player's temptation. After hearing such words that slandered the god in his heart, he fell into anger and could no longer listen to anything else.
"Alright! You really have evil intentions towards Master Tianyuan! Today I will enforce justice on his behalf!"
Player: “…”
No, is that right? Is that reasonable?
The players just had some ideas about the large barrier created by Tengen, which almost controlled the level of cursed energy in the entire Japan and invisibly strengthened the cursed spirits. How did this NPC make it sound like he had bad intentions towards Tengen?
And you still talk about enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven... What Heaven? Tian Yuan's Heaven?
"...Humph, if that's the case, then I will also enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
"I'm here to teach you a lesson on behalf of your Lord God." The player summoned Panda, and with a rare, dark smile, he said, "I want to ask you, these idlers since the Nara period, what qualifications do you have to call yourselves followers of Tianyuan?"
"Roar——" Panda, who created a big hole as he landed, roared at the right time, announcing the official start of the battle.
"Come on, all of you—"
"Panda, resonance——"
…
…
The battle within the Panxing Sect was about to break out, while on the other side, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru followed the flame tracker given by Aurora, stopping and walking along the way, and even squeezed out time to buy two fully-filled crepes.
"The crepes from this internet-famous shop taste pretty good... but I always feel like something is missing." After receiving the sweet crepe, Gojo Satoru took a big bite without hesitation, and after a moment, he came to this evaluation.
"Your expectations are too high, Wu."
Holding the same low-sugar crepe in his hand, Geto Xia curled his lips slightly and said jokingly, "Recently, Aurora and Meowth have made things out of boredom, and most of them have ended up in your stomach."
"Your appetite has become quite sophisticated, hasn't it?"
Aurora and her good friend Meowth seemed to uphold the gourmet philosophy of "being able to eat is a blessing". As long as the requests were not overly strange, they would never refuse any ideas proposed by the students in the Jujutsu High School.
Aurora is obsessed with scientific research, and her day and night are reversed. Her partner Meowji is also a person who can't sit still. He actually set up a small stall in the Jujutsu High School and gave away random delicacies for free.
But... putting aside the fact that the daily lives of the sorcerers are too busy, their fellow apprentices Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara are not the type to bother others. On the contrary, they might even help with the work.
Nozomi prefers wine, and with the help of Aurora, she is still in the stage of recovering her sense of taste. Although her appetite has improved, her obsession with food is not strong. So, Gojo Satoru became a frequent visitor of Meowji.
A cake today, a Daifuku tomorrow, and a tiramisu the day after tomorrow...
With the high-intensity feeding by Meowji and Aurora, in just half a month, even though the sorcerer had high-intensity activities every day, the tall and straight white-haired boy in the growth period actually gained a little weight.
At least, that's what Geto Suguru thought.
The young man with bangs and a pair of slender eyes looked at his best friend whose face had become slightly rounder, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.
Forget it, they had to climb over the wall today under the angry gaze of Mr. Ye Moth, and Wu has been having a hard time recently, so he might as well eat more.
Being able to eat is a blessing, being able to eat is a blessing.
However, Geto Suguru didn't open his mouth, and Gojo Satoru, who had just swallowed the food in his mouth, spoke first.
"Jay, if you don't want to eat it, can you give me the one in your hand?" Gojo Satoru wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Actually, when I ordered, I asked the owner to make a full sugar and triple sugar combination."
Geto Summer Oil: “…”
Wu, you bastard...
Geto Suguru handed over the crepe in his hand with an expressionless face.
"Thanks~~" Gojo Satoru took the crepe, sprinkled some sugar on it, and took a bite with great interest. While eating, he did not forget to speculate about the current situation. "We haven't found any clues yet. Although the tools Aurora gave us have outlined a rough range, but..."
At this point, the white-haired, blue-eyed boy stopped chewing, narrowed his eyes, and thought, "But because of some kind of interference, this 'little mouse' appears and disappears, making it difficult to find."
"Perhaps it's interference from the domain," Xia Yujie speculated. "According to what you said, if these special-grade cursed spirits are mixed together, perhaps besides that little earthen cursed spirit named Louhu, there are other cursed spirits that can expand the domain."
"It's been able to exist for so long, perhaps it's a cursed spirit with enough cursed power to sustain a prolonged domain state." Xia Yujie thought of Aurora, who had killed the cursed spirit together with Gojo Satoru, and sighed, "I wonder what's going on with Aurora."
"Why are you so worried? The Panxing Sect is just a gathering place for believers who believe in Master Tianyuan. Even if there are people stirring up trouble behind the scenes, overall, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand, signaling Geto to stop worrying. "Besides, after experiencing the special-grade cursed spirit with domain skills, Aurora has a deeper understanding of the technique. She's completely different from the one you saw the day before yesterday."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she should have touched the edge of the domain..." Gojo Satoru said thoughtfully as he recalled Aurora's subconscious actions during the day.
"So fast?" Xia Yujie was a little surprised. "She has only been exposed to the curse for a short time, right?"
“He’s really talented.”
"Hehehe, Jie, you have to work hard! Because..." Gojo Satoru put his hands on his hips, ignored the strange looks from the passers-by around him, and laughed up to the sky, "Because I also have a very clear idea! Hahaha!"
Forced to die in society, Geto Suguru was not even surprised by his best friend's progress: "..."
He covered his face silently and said in a low voice: "I know, Wu, sit down first!"
There is no time to pay attention to Aurora, he wants to beat this white-haired guy up right now!
————————
The two scumbags Shui Lingling had forgotten about, swung their swords, kicked, and swept in one go, and then... yawned.
[Congratulations to the player for reaching level 92]
"As expected, even a small mosquito is still meat." The player looked at the collapsed Tianyuan believers and smiled, "My decision to keep working so hard to kill the cursed spirits was the right one!"
Without the players' efforts in searching for cursed spirits during the day, even if the players tonight defeated this group of ordinary people and ordinary sorcerers, they probably wouldn't be able to upgrade.
"...Ahem, you damned woman, don't be so complacent!" The old man with the long beard coughed heavily a few times and complained, "Even if we can't defeat you, it doesn't mean others can't!"
"We will never forgive anyone who offends Lord Tianyuan!"
"You've been talking to yourselves, asking and answering your own questions the whole time... I haven't offended Tianyuan in any way." The player spread his hands and said, "But you... Does Lord Tianyuan know that you've established a church in his name?"
"The church you established is probably just a makeshift group that even the original leader hasn't recognized—"
