Chapter 450: Dao 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 “Acting Master Uncle”.

“Can the Taoist order be dispersed?” asked Master Fuyin without turning his head.

“One hundred and twenty-eight orders were issued, sixty of whom returned to the sect, thirty of whom are still on the way, twelve of whom are heading to various sects to lobby, and twenty-six of whom have not yet received the orders.”

“Hmm…” Master Fuyin responded and said nothing more.

These twenty-six disciples are already in great danger. With only a hundred or so people and varying levels of cultivation, they are 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 after a long time he let out a light sigh.

“Han Yang, please remember that if it is a normal day, there may be some friction between the Taoist sects. This is normal.”

“After all, no matter how we practice, we are still mortals, subject to the seven emotions, so small fights 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 the most important, and hard work is secondary. We follow our hearts, but we don’t just do whatever we want.”

“Think about Lingxiang. Why would someone who is so arrogant and wanton on weekdays risk her life by going deep into the tiger’s den?”

Han Yang listened to the words and pondered for a moment. After he figured it out, he bowed his hands 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 hurriedly came forward and said, “Brother Xuanhuai, how are you?”

It turned out to be Xuan Huai Zhenren, the head of Kunwu Sect.

The two sides exchanged Taoist greetings and introduced their disciples to each other before they began to talk about business.

“Brother Dao, I am very grateful for your 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 become a prey to the demons. Now that your sect has called us, and the demons are involved, we can’t just sit there and watch.”

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 in number, with only 50 people at 70% of its strength. I appreciate the difficulty of the founder, and in order to ensure the continuation of the sect, the remaining young disciples will be handed over to Junior Brother Xuantan for instruction. I feel guilty for not being able to give my best, and I hope fellow Taoists will not mind.”

Master Fuyin naturally understood the difficulties faced by the Kunwu Sect, and waved his hand hurriedly, saying, “The continuation of the sect is a major matter. The Kunwu Sect is in such a difficult situation, and they still provide timely assistance. This is truly a noble cause. The people of Yuanqing cannot thank us enough, so why should we say that we are surprised? Brother Dao, 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 rushed out to greet him. They saw an old man walking briskly, followed by Hui Yan. The man was Xun Feng Zhenren of the Tai Shang Sect. Since Zhenren Lie Yang 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 in 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 at this moment.”

Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin bowed deeply and said, “I am already ashamed for not being able to protect Senior Uncle Lieyang, and now I have to trouble Senior Uncle Xunfeng to run back and forth. I am really ashamed.”

Master Xunfeng smacked his lips, and while he was doing the Fu seal, he was annoyed at his unfamiliarity.

“Brother Lieyang died a martyr, that was destined by fate, what does it have to do with you? If there is to be a reckoning, it should be on the demons. Now that there is an opportunity, everyone in the Supreme Sect is rushing to get it!”

Xunfeng Master waved his sleeves, as if he was ready to argue with anyone who gossiped, and then 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 do you say ‘trouble’?”

At this moment, another voice came from outside the door:
“Since Junior Master Uncle said so, Yuan Qing will boldly accept this favor. When we win in the future, I will definitely come to your house to thank you handsomely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, four figures filed in from outside the hall. They were Shangqing Zhenren and the 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 demons without reporting to the head teacher. I hope that the head teacher will punish me.”

Shangqing Zhenren waved his hand and said, “The power of the sect has been entrusted to you. You have the final say on how to make decisions. How can there be any punishment?”

Then he smiled and approached Master Qianyuan and joked, “Sixth Junior Brother, you are so serious that it makes me look like a nobody.”

Zhenren Qianyuan also nodded in agreement, and praised Zhenren Xunfeng: “Sixth Junior Brother accepted the order in a time of crisis, and has worked hard for three years to manage the sect properly. 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 and said, “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 is just a mere cultivation. What does it matter to me?”

Then he sighed and said, “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.” Shang Qing Zhenren stopped Cheng Xin Zhenren who was about to say something else. “But Sixth Junior Brother alone may not be enough. How about…”

“Why don’t you count me in?” Xuan Huai said, “Fairy Tumi has done a favor to Kunwu, and friend Lingxiang has 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,” said Shangqing Zhenren, “My disciples are still at a low level of cultivation and don’t need too much talisman power. You can give it to Brother Xuanhuai and Junior Brother Six. The talisman skills of Uncle Xunfeng and Junior Brothers Chengxin and Donghui can be handed over to me and Junior Brother Qianyuan.”

“No!” Master Fuyin quickly spoke up to stop them: “Brothers are already seriously injured and have not recovered yet. It is inappropriate for them to force themselves out of retreat at this time. How can they perform the blood talisman method?”

However, Shangqing Zhenren said, “We are old, and the sect will eventually be handed over to the next generation. It is natural for us to make plans and contributions for the younger generation. Junior brother, why should you mind it?”

Qian Yuan Zhenren said: “Don’t worry, Junior Brother, Senior Brother knows what to do. Senior Brother and I want to see our disciples and grandchildren grow stronger and stronger.”

Master Fuyin wanted to say something else, but Danyang and Danzhu came 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.
