Chapter 14 Monster Attacks the Mountain
Ye Zhao suppressed the surging thoughts in his eyes and returned to Qingyue Peak alone.
A thin mist rose from Qingyue Peak. Ye Zhao looked at the northern ridge and his heart moved.
"Sure enough, it's tonight." She murmured to herself, and then ordered the deacon disciple behind her: "No one on Qingyue Peak should rest tonight. All inner disciples will take turns to keep watch, and all formations must be checked."
"Take my message to the other peaks and ask them to strengthen their defenses tonight."
The disciple responded and retreated hastily.
Ye Zhao gathered his sleeves and looked towards the newly built Luoxue Residence at the foot of the mountainside.
The next moment, it turned into a white shadow and fell into the courtyard.
Su Luoxue had just washed the herbs and was about to put them into the spirit box when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation in spiritual power and quickly turned around.
"Master?" She raised her face in surprise. "Why are you here?"
Ye Zhao smiled faintly, "There will be danger tonight, I will move in to keep watch with you."
Su Luoxue was startled. "Danger?"
"I observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that a monster will attack the mountain tonight."
Su Luoxue put away her smile instantly after hearing this. She became serious like a different person, immediately putting down the herbs in her hand and said seriously, "Then I will help you set up the formation!"
"Um."
Ye Zhao looked at her with satisfaction.
As a Jindan cultivator, she should not be able to see the sky and predict fate.
But she was born with a special physique and can sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power. Although she cannot see the future directly, she can predict approaching dangers in a small area.
So that night in her previous life, she sensed the movement of demonic energy in advance.
She immediately ordered that no disciple was allowed to leave Qingyue Peak without permission, and activated all the barriers at the same time.
But those ungrateful people didn't believe her at all, saying that she only had the cultivation level of a Golden Core and was not a priestess of the Tianji Hall, so it was impossible for her to predict the future.
So he went out quietly without telling her.
After she noticed it, she quickly chased after it and ended up encountering the monster at the foot of the mountain.
It was a three-eyed demon wolf, and its intelligence had been awakened, and its strength was approaching the early Nascent Soul stage.
She used the strength of the late Jindan stage to fight it to the death for a whole night.
As a result, his bones were broken and his tendons were shattered. In the end, he relied on burning his soul to forcibly suppress it and sealed the monster at an extremely tragic price.
However, those ungrateful people who went out returned unscathed, not even knowing what happened last night.
She went into seclusion to heal her wounds, but half a month later, the sect opened a secret realm for training, and the masters of each peak were required to bring their disciples in.
The disciples of Qingyue Peak were very enthusiastic, and Pei Yan and others were even more eager to try.
She couldn't bear to see them miss the opportunity, so she forced her way out.
And that battle...
In the secret realm, her old injuries relapsed, and she was caught off guard by the surge of monsters.
Qingyue Peak suffered heavy losses.
Five inner disciples died and dozens of outer disciples were seriously injured.
And... because of this, she was questioned by the sect disciples about her ability and her inability to be the leader of a peak.
For a long time, Ye Zhao blamed himself deeply for this, and it was not until much later that he realized something was wrong.
Even if she was seriously injured at the time, she was still able to protect most of the disciples and leave. It shouldn't have happened...
Recalling this, a chill gradually appeared in Ye Zhao's eyes.
The two walked into the yard side by side and began to act.
Su Luoxue took out a multi-faceted magic mirror and buried it in the four corners of the courtyard wall to sense evil spirits.
Ye Zhao pasted several lightning-inducing talismans on the eaves and the roof, so that he could use them to draw lightning to kill the enemy when necessary.
After finishing all this, Su Luoxue wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at Ye Zhao, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, and asked softly, "Master, can you really see the changes in the celestial phenomena?"
"It's just a hunch, I can't be sure."
Su Luoxue nodded, not quite understanding.
At the same time, on Xialing Peak.
Ye Wange had just finished her training and was half leaning on the jade couch, with several female disciples massaging her shoulders.
She asked casually, "Is anyone coming from Qingyue Peak?"
The disciple nodded. "Yes, the disciples of Qingyue Peak are very confident. They said that Master Ye had deduced the secrets of the heavens and that there would be a sudden attack by monsters tonight. They told us to prepare early."
"Hmph." Ye Wange snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt. "You're only at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, and you're dreaming of trying to understand the secrets of heaven? What a joke."
"If you want to predict the future, you must at least be a Divine Transformation cultivator."
"Ye Zhao is just being mysterious."
"Everything is normal at Xialing Peak, don't pay any attention to her."
The female disciple didn't dare to say much and had to agree.
On the east side of Qingyue Peak, in the dilapidated courtyard near the cliff, Pei Yan was putting away the spirit fire stone and preparing to extinguish the lights in the house.
There were a few spider webs hanging from the beams, the floor tiles in the corners had collapsed in many places, and there were even two windows with only half of their frames left, which creaked in the wind.
Yun Yao sat on the couch wrapped in a thick coat, "Senior Brother Pei...it's too cold here."
Pei Yan touched the top of her head and said, "Just make do for a few days. Master must want to temper our character, so he let me stay here temporarily."
He said with certainty, "Once we pass the test, Master might give us the best spiritual cultivation pavilion in Xialing Peak. It's much better than Ye Zhao's Qingyue Main Hall."
Yun Yao hummed softly.
Pei Yan stood up and closed the shabby wooden window, intending to take a rest.
suddenly……
"boom!"
There was a noise outside, followed by several hurried footsteps and the sound of people shouting.
"Quick, bury the thunder talisman. Is the night watch team here tonight?"
"Distribute the thunder talismans. Don't use them all in the main formation. The defense in the south corner is not enough!"
Yun Yao frowned, and Pei Yan also jumped down from the couch, opened the gate and looked outside.
In the open space outside the courtyard, more than a dozen disciples from Qingyue Peak were busy.
Some people were carrying spiritual stones and talismans, while others were lying on the ground carving array patterns.
These disciples wore the uniform uniform of Qingyue Peak disciples, with a silver moon mark embroidered on their waists.
However, their formation was only set up in front of their courtyard, as if it was separated from Xia Ling Peak by a Chu River and Han River.
Pei Yan frowned and walked over, asking loudly, "What are you doing? You're disturbing me in the middle of the night!"
The leading disciple turned around and saw Pei Yan, and replied, "According to the Peak Master's orders, set up a defensive formation to prepare for the monster beasts that may attack the mountain tonight."
"...Monster attack?" Pei Yan seemed to have heard a joke.
"Ye Zhao can also tell fortunes? With her limited skills, what can she predict? Isn't this just giving you a job to do? You still believe her words? How stupid."
The faces of the disciples at Qingyue Peak all changed. One young disciple angrily said, "Brother Pei, since you have already chosen another sect, don't give orders to Qingyue Peak!"
"Since the Peak Master says there's danger, then we should do as he says. It's better to believe it than not to believe it."
"Heh." Pei Yan sneered, his eyes sweeping over the unfinished formation, and said contemptuously: "It's because you listen to her too much that you haven't made any progress after practicing for so long."
The disciple was filled with rage. He raised his palm and a blazing light struck Pei Yan: "I will fight you!"
