Chapter 2990 - 1105: Nascent Soul Formation Under the Moon’s Invitation, Mu Xian Guards the Pass (Part 2)
Though seldom appearing, the few times she took action to repel the Third-Order Demon King revealed a fearsome power.
Especially!
According to rumors, Yao Yue Fairy seems to have a deep relationship with a Nascent Soul True Master.
This makes it even harder to provoke her casually!
"Alright, I will do my best in this battle, but the other three families cannot stand by. Second Brother, go inform them to send one hundred elite cultivators each to join our Cheng family in facing the enemy," Cheng Pingqiu took up the matter, and after making the decision, he no longer hesitated, instead showing a hopeful expression, "If that Nascent Soul True Master rumored to be closely connected with our ancestor comes to protect us, why should we exhaust ourselves overly much."
"Go ahead, stop thinking about these things, one must rely on oneself," the Family Head waved his hand, his tone resolute, "Furthermore, since the ancestor dared to attempt Nascent Soul Formation at this time, he surely has another plan."
"Let’s hope so!"
Cheng Pingqiu muttered a phrase, then hurriedly exited to start assembling troops, preparing to confront the invading demon beasts.
The Second Elder did the same, hastening to visit the other three families.
Seven hundred miles might seem far, but to High Order Cultivators, it’s a matter of moments.
Some powerful Golden Core Cultivators extend their combat range far beyond that.
Thankfully, those demon beasts moved in groups, and the Lower Order Demon Beasts had slow speed, temporarily keeping them from assaulting the Flying Swallow Islands.
Cheng Pingqiu did not spend long preparing, and soon gathered a group of Cheng family’s elite cultivators.
The number was quite large, totaling over a thousand.
Just among them, there were twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
The three families didn’t shirk Cheng family’s call for help either, each dispatched over a hundred elite cultivators.
Led by Golden Core Ascendant Masters, each family’s contingent included ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.
Especially the Xu family, which had a close relation with Cheng family, sent its Supreme Elder, a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator, to lead directly!
Thus, in just a short time, the Flying Swallow Islands organized four Golden Core Ascendant Masters, fifty Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, and over a thousand Late Stage Qi Refinement elite forces.
Not only that, upon hearing the news, Feiyan Loose Cultivators also hurriedly came to aid.
A force of several thousand people assembled together in a grand march westward, intending to exterminate the incoming demon beasts outside.
Meanwhile, at the Ten Mile Flat Lake in the Flying Swallow Islands, the nascent soul phenomenon began to appear.
Massive Spirit Qi erupted from various earth veins, converging toward the island at the lake’s center.
...
The assembly of Flying Swallow cultivators was swift, organized by Cheng family onto a big ship, and set out rapidly.
Covering seven hundred miles didn’t even take half an hour.
When Cheng Pingqiu arrived with his men, what he saw was a sea covered practically entirely.
The reason for "covered" was that floating on the sea were nothing but corpses!
Blood flowed like a sea, the pile of bodies like mountains.
Only one green-clad cultivator stood among the corpse mountains, holding a longsword, with a composed demeanor.
All the invading demon beasts were annihilated by this one person!
Everyone was shocked.
What could this person’s power level be?
Could it be the Nascent Soul Realm!
The green-clad cultivator slowly turned, revealing a face with an immortal demeanor and scholarly elegance.
His gaze fell on the crowd, especially on the clan emblems of the four family cultivators.
"Are you Feiyan cultivators?"
Cheng Pingqiu stepped forward respectfully, "Indeed, we are Feiyan cultivators. May I ask the Senior’s name and why you helped us slay the beast hordes?"
The green-clad cultivator smiled, "Gone for too long, it seems none of you recognize me now!"
The crowd was taken aback, not understanding his meaning.
However, the eldest among them, the Xu family’s Supreme Elder, showed a doubtful expression, then gradually transitioned to an incredulous look.
He staggered through the crowd, expressing immense delight, "Is it Brother Mu Xian?"
The green-clad cultivator looked at the white-haired Xu family’s Supreme Elder, "You know me? You are..."
"I am Xiao Qi, Xu Wei! That Xiao Qi who used to follow you, always asking for elixir pills!"
At this moment, the Xu family’s Supreme Elder spoke excitably, resembling a child.
But no one expressed doubt toward this demeanor.
Because the person before them was highly likely a Nascent Soul True Master.
Otherwise, it couldn’t explain why he could effortlessly exterminate over ten thousand demon beasts, especially with at least five powerful presences suspected to be Third-Order Demon Kings among them.
If this person is related to the Xu Family, then the title of the top family in the Flying Swallow Islands might need to be changed.
Cheng Pingqiu, however, after being shocked, faintly felt the name "Muxian" somewhat familiar.
It seemed that in the history of his Cheng Family, there was such a figure?
But that person was not very important, so no matter how he racked his brains, he could not recall immediately.
Xu Muxian smiled slightly, "So it’s Xiao Qi, I didn’t expect you to undergo Core Formation as well."
The Xu Family Supreme Elder shook his head, "For me, it doesn’t mean much. The end is near, there is no hope of breakthrough, what is Core Formation. But you, Brother Muxian...are you a True Master?"
Xu Muxian’s face turned somber, "As you see, through a fortunate chance, I indeed achieved the Nascent Soul Realm. This time, I returned specifically to protect my master’s wife, to eliminate all external enemies for her!"
The words "master’s wife" instantly dispelled the fog in Cheng Pingqiu’s memory.
He finally understood why the name Xu Muxian felt somewhat familiar.
Everything pointed to a powerful figure once associated with the clan’s ancestor, a giant of the Devil Dao who became taboo in the Flying Swallow Islands.
Demon King Qingyang!
Years ago, Demon King Qingyang took control of the Flying Swallow Islands, first beheading Golden Core Demon Cultivators, then subduing various clans.
The ancestor once became his Dao Companion, accompanying him for many years.
Originally not valued by the clan, Xu Muxian, because of his alchemy talent, caught the eye of Demon King Qingyang, becoming a registered disciple and learning alchemy techniques. Later, he even became the subject of an alliance marriage between the Cheng and Xu Families.
Later, Demon King Qingyang quietly left, and after the Dao Companion passed away, Xu Muxian also left the Flying Swallow Islands to venture alone in the North Sea Cultivation World.
Because Demon King Qingyang made a huge name for himself in the North Sea, offending many major powers, the Flying Swallow Islands rarely mentioned this name to avoid being implicated.
Naturally, as his registered disciple, then only at the Late Stage Qi Refinement Xu Muxian, even fewer people remembered.
Who would have thought, four hundred years have passed.
The demon monarch did not return, but his registered disciple came back instead.
Moreover, he specifically rushed back to protect his own clan’s ancestor.
"Is this the backup plan the ancestor prepared?"
Cheng Pingqiu felt relieved, having a Nascent Soul True Master on guard is truly the best.
He cautiously said, "Senior Xu, now with your help, the beast pack is gone, should there be no external concerns for my clan’s ancestor during Nascent Soul Formation, right?"
But to this, Xu Muxian didn’t show any trace of relaxation.
His longsword hadn’t been sheathed and was held tightly in his hand.
"I’m afraid it’s not that simple!"
Cheng Pingqiu was a bit puzzled, "This pack of thousands of beasts, five demon kings, all perished under your sword, could there be an even more troublesome existence?"
Xu Muxian sighed deeply, "Have any of you heard the name Lie Tian Sect Master?"
Everyone was startled, then their expressions changed dramatically.
Lie Tian Sect Master!
In today’s North Sea, a notorious Devil Dao giant!
His speed is fast and prowess formidable, especially unknown as to where he acquired an evil technique of refining living souls to enhance his own divine soul endowment, frequently hunting high-order cultivators in recent years.
The number of Golden Core Cultivators fallen at the hands of Lie Tian Sect Master has already numbered in the hundreds.
Demon Kings, countless more!
Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, reputedly the hardest to kill, have fallen at his hand.
Although the old Mo Luo Sect faded away with the disappearance of Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, Lie Tian Sect Master’s name has grown louder, once rivaling the emerging Black Demon.
Claimed as the two great Devil Dao giants of today’s North Sea!
Their conduct is cruel and ruthless, few survive if caught.
Cheng Pingqiu’s voice turned dry, "How could this old demon set sights on my clan’s ancestor?"
Xu Muxian calmly said, "Today’s North Sea has no peaceful places left. The name Feiyan has spread far and wide. If the master’s wife doesn’t succeed, it’s fine, but once successful, she’ll be precisely the primordial cultivator the Lie Tian Sect Master favors. There is a strong possibility he will come to hunt, extract the soul, and enhance his own cultivation level."
"But..."
"There’s no ’but’!" Xu Muxian swung his longsword, his gaze resolute, "If he doesn’t come, it’s fine. If he does come, with me guarding the pass, I won’t let him harm the master’s wife in the slightest!"
Everyone swallowed, their eyes carrying some hope.
Their emotions have been wildly swinging, ups and downs.
Seeing Xu Muxian kill a group of demons, they were delighted, and even more excited knowing he is a Nascent Soul True Master from the Flying Swallow Islands.
But upon hearing Lie Tian Sect Master’s name, they became uneasy, anxiously fearful.
People’s fame casts influence.
If the Lie Tian Sect Master truly came, can this practically unknown Master Xu genuinely block him?
