I Have A Disciple Simulator - Chapter 226
Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Lu Changsheng Leaves Seclusion (Second Update)
“Master is about to leave his seclusion.”
The chief disciple of Qingyun Peak, Lin Qingzhi, saw the Thousand Miles of Purple Qi about to dissipate, so he stopped cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique and patiently waited for his master to emerge from seclusion.
This time, Sect Leader Lu Changsheng’s time in seclusion was extraordinary, incredibly lasting for three whole months.
“I have already comprehended the seventh layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.”
In this period, Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation had advanced to the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, and he had also cultivated the Taiqing Wuji Technique imparted by Lu Changsheng to the seventh layer.
Suddenly, Lin Qingzhi detected spatial fluctuations, as the mortals of Tianyu City were being transported to the Mount Shu peaks by the sect’s array formations.
Lin Qingzhi knew this was Mount Shu’s plan to use the formations to send the people of Tianyu City to Mount Shu and then activate the Mountain Protection Array to deal with the Demon Lord.
The millions of citizens of Tianyu City were transported to Mount Shu, overjoyed with relief after surviving a calamity.
However, the disciples of Mount Shu were far from relaxed, their brows furrowed with worry.
The Sect Leader, Supreme Elders, and the Sect Leader’s senior uncle had chosen to make a stand to save the people of Tianyu City, a situation more likely to end in peril than in safety.
On the outskirts of Mount Shu, the Mount Shu group and Xia Kingdom’s loose cultivators were fighting while retreating, attempting to return to Mount Shu.
Mount Shu, with the strength of one sect and the help of Xia Kingdom’s loose cultivators, could not withstand the forces of Huang State’s Demon Race and the three Great Demon Sects.
“Master Xuantong!”
Si Yan witnessed Master Xuantong of the Void Refinement Realm being suppressed by the ancient cauldron of the Demon Lord, sinking the land, causing the earth to quake and tremble, and creating a deep pit that seemed bottomless.
Master Xuantong, who had achieved Great Accomplishment in the Vajra Indestructible Skills, had thus fallen.
Si Yan bit her thin lip; Master Xuantong and the others had volunteered to stay behind to cover their escape, stalling the Demon Lord.
“Ah!”
A Supreme Elder of Mount Shu was bitten by the Five-Colored Poisonous Snake of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons’ Valley Master and died from the poison.
“Taiyin Sword Art!”
The Peak Master of Bimoon Peak, reversing her aged and decrepit appearance, summoned an Immortal Sword and sliced down a peerless Great Demon of the Void Refinement Realm.
The Peak Master of Bimoon Peak, a ninth-layer powerhouse of the Void Refinement Realm, was one of the strongest among Mount Shu’s Supreme Elders.
Suddenly, a sharp claw appeared, striking with lightning speed toward the Peak Master of Bimoon Peak.
The Peak Master of Bimoon Peak barely dodged the claw, which, crackling with thunder, left a bloody gash on her shoulder.
The Peak Master of Bimoon Peak fiercely turned to face the Demon Race’s strong warrior who had injured her.
This was an elder with horns on his head.
The Peak Master of Bimoon Peak was taken aback, “You’ve transformed from a Flood Dragon?!”
The horned elder did not deny it.
“Master!”
Murong Shi and Chen Yao, two disciples from Mount Shu, seeing their master injured by such a powerful being of the Demon Race, were frantic with worry.
“Shi’er, Yao’er, you go back to Mount Shu first; your master has a way to escape.”
Despite maintaining the appearance of an old woman, the Peak Master of Bimoon Peak wielded her sword and rode the winds, her past elegance faintly visible.
She was the senior sister of the Real Person of Taiyuan and had sworn to advance or retreat together with Mount Shu.
“But Master…”
“Junior sister, trust in the master; staying here would only add to the chaos.”
Murong Shi left with Chen Yao.
Murong Shi was at the first layer of the Void Refinement Realm, while Chen Yao was still in the Nascent Soul Realm. With their master, a ninth-layer powerhouse of the Void Refinement Realm struggling against the enemy, they could not help at all and would only distract the Peak Master of Bimoon Peak.
“The Demon Lord is too strong, and the three Great Demon Sects are no joke. Mount Shu might be annihilated, and I, Xiao Xiangdao, cannot just die in obscurity; I still seek the path to Longevity.”
Xiao Xiangdao had descended the mountain with Li Changye and saw the heavy losses of Mount Shu, with even the Sect Leader’s senior uncle injured by the Demon Lord, putting Mount Shu on the brink of peril.
As the people of Mount Shu and Xia Kingdom risked their lives to return to Mount Shu, the elders and disciples guarding Mount Shu immediately activated the Mountain Protection Array, and a semi-transparent golden barrier enveloped the floating mountain within.
The Demon Lord and the three Great Demon Sects pursued Mount Shu but were blocked by the defensive barrier formed by the Mountain Protection Array.
The Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons seemed to hold apprehension toward Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array, “According to the records of our Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array is an unparalleled Great Formation laid down by the Dao Palace’s Ancestral Master, possessing boundless power. All formidable enemies who have attempted to attack Mount Shu never returned.”
The Sect Masters of the Joyous Union Sect and the Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace looked at each other, their faces a mix of emotions.
As Sect Masters of the Demon Sects, they were extremely wary of the Mountain Protection Array of Mount Shu.
Since the founding of Mount Shu, no one had ever breached the Mountain Protection Array.
“Situ Kong has been injured by me, and many Mount Shu elders have been heavily wounded. The Mountain Protection Array of Mount Shu is unmanned, what are you afraid of?”
The Demon Lord stood towering in the heavens, looking up at the suspended Mount Shu, above him, he summoned the Ancient Cauldron in his palm, absorbing the brilliance of the sun and moon, swelling with the wind.
“You speak the truth, now Mount Shu has suffered great losses, and this is the most vulnerable time since its establishment. Once Mount Shu regains its strength, especially if Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, and Lu Qinglian, those peerless geniuses grow up, Mount Shu will certainly seek crazy vengeance.”
The Sect Masters of the three Great Demon Sects, after a brief consideration, still decided to join forces with the Demon Lord to attack Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array.
Lu Changsheng’s growth was too fast. As Sect Masters of the Demon Sects, they couldn’t allow such a peerless genius to rise.
In the main hall of Mount Shu, the people of Mount Shu and Xia Kingdom escaped the pursuit of the Demon Lord and the three Great Demon Sects. With the Mountain Protection Array temporarily blocking the powerful enemies, they finally had a short time to gather and rest.
“The Demon Lord’s cultivation has improved to such a degree that, in tit-for-tat, he has severely damaged my Primordial Spirit, and I fear I cannot activate the Formation meant for attacking.”
There was a blood-red wound on Situ Kong’s robe.
As long as the Demon Lord is not dead, he will only grow stronger with battle.
Now, the Demon Lord’s cultivation had already surpassed Situ Kong.
The Demon Lord was a monstrous talent, one of the exceptional geniuses in this world with the hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Taiyuan True Man remained silent.
As the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, he was one of the few who knew the actual condition of Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array.
Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array was actually composed of two arrays, one for defense and the other for slaughtering enemies.
The array intended for killing was extremely terrifying.
But, with Mount Shu’s current strength, it was impossible to operate the second attack Formation that could threaten the Demon Lord.
With the state that Taiyuan True Man, Situ Kong, and others were in, forcibly activating the second array, if they failed to kill the Demon Lord and let him escape again, the next time the Demon Lord appeared, he would likely become the strongest being in this world.
“With the Sect Leader, the Senior Uncle, the Senior Sister, and the Sect Leader all injured, and several Supreme Elders fallen, our Mount Shu might meet the same fate as the Refinement Sect.”
“Let’s hope our Mount Shu’s barrier can withstand the Demon Lord and the three Great Demon Sects.”
The elders and disciples of Mount Shu whispered among themselves, anxious and worried.
Boom!
Suddenly, the entirety of Mount Shu shook violently.
The elders and disciples of Mount Shu exited the hall, looking up at the sky.
The Ancient Cauldron summoned by the Demon Lord transformed into a mountain of a thousand feet, covering the sky and sun.
The Demon Lord actually planned to dismantle Mount Shu with his treasure!
Crazy!
The elders and disciples of Mount Shu were horrified.
The Demon Lord was truly domineering!
“Damn it, who’s disturbing my seclusion and cultivation?”
At Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
He was awakened by the tremendous disturbance caused by the Demon Lord.
Before going into seclusion, Lu Changsheng had informed Taiyuan True Man and a few disciples beforehand, in case his breakthrough was interrupted.
The Demon Lord’s treasure’s impact on Mount Shu’s barrier nearly interrupted Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough.
“Fortunately, I am one step ahead, reaching Great Perfection of the tenth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique before the disruption. It’s time to come out of seclusion.”
