Chapter 147 Long Time No See, Saint Sect! (Alliance Leader Bonus Chapter)
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"Mm."
Waving his hand, he signaled for the disciple guarding the gate to withdraw.
Wang Yu was dressed in Inner Sect Disciple attire, the Purple Blood Disciple Token neatly fastened at his waist, revealing his legitimate identity.
Now that he was back, he should first go to Frigid Blood Peak to report on the Spirit Slave mission. Even though he was alone, the mission still needed to be turned in.
It was a pity he couldn't get a hefty reward.
What? The people are all in my Storage Pouch, isn't that the reward!
One fish cannot double dip, next time there's an opportunity, he can try again.
Just as he was about to head to Frigid Blood Peak, Wang Yu suddenly slapped his forehead. He had been outside for too long and almost forgotten about the infighting within the Sect.
Donning a black robe, Wang Yu first entered the territory of Five Yin Market and used a Message Talisman to contact Situ Hong, to gather intelligence first!
Not long after.
Junior Brother Situ, still at Qi Condensation Ninth Layer but with an increasingly vigorous aura, arrived to keep the appointment. His voice preceded him.
"I say, Brother Wang, you disappeared again for more than five years. This Junior Brother thought you were dead. You actually…"
"Creak—"
As the door of the wine shop was pushed open, all sound abruptly stopped. Since he was here to gather intelligence, Wang Yu naturally had to publicly display his Cultivation Level progress.
Only in this way would the other party be completely forthcoming.
"You…"
Situ Hong's throat went dry as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man before him. Silver hair with a dark crown, a jade hairpin securing his hair from start to finish, two strands framing his temples, accentuating his handsome features even more.
He quickly regained his composure, even having the mind to joke, "Long time no see, Senior Brother, even this fair face of mine is a little tempted."
"Oh? Junior Brother Situ isn't afraid of Wei Sheng's tragedy."
"Hehe, this face of Situ's is all that's left of value. If Senior Brother takes a fancy to it, just take it off, a trivial matter."
Seeing Wang Yu joking with him, Situ Hong felt a little relieved, but his mind was frantically thinking. He truly hadn't expected that Wang Yu, who was only at Qi Condensation Eighth Layer when they last met, had already reached Foundation Establishment upon their reunion.
Moreover, his aura was stable and his strength profound, and most importantly, he was brimming with life force. This meant that the other party's Lifespan had been greatly extended.
This represented a strong backer, if not seize now when to seize?!!
Perhaps waiting another hundred years, there might be hope of breaking free from the Peach Blossom Ghost Mother's control.
"Sit, has anything major happened in the Sect these past few years?"
Sitting down across from Wang Yu, Situ Hong immediately understood the reason for his visit. And seeing the Inner Sect Disciple robes he was wearing, he must not have registered at the Sect yet.
After guessing the intelligence Wang Yu was seeking, Situ Hong pondered for a moment and stated.
"Many things have happened, but nothing of great importance. However, regarding Frigid Blood Peak, some significant events have occurred.
"Firstly, a few days ago, Heavenly Spirit Root True Inheritor Yan Ling achieved a Breakthrough to Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, and officially declared his candidacy for the Nascent Soul Seed. In recent days, he has been challenging the remaining seven Frigid Blood Peak True Disciples, four duels in two days, all won with overwhelming power.
"Secondly, Su Yu Long and Wei Chong, this cohort of dismissed True Disciples from Frigid Blood Peak, have been released from Saint Demon Cliff Confinement. Su Yu Long has moved to Elephant Mountain Duan Clan for continued Confinement, Wei Chong… he entered the Blood Abyss."
Wang Yu's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.
Saying Su Yu Long was just changing locations for Confinement was just a formality. In fact, he had already finished his term and been freed. Connections matter, once things cool off he's released, everyone knows how it works.
As for Wei Chong entering the Blood Abyss, it seemed like a brave move forward, but in reality he was helpless and could only stubbornly fight with his back against the wall.
Waterfall Mountain Wei Clan, an extremely powerful Foundation Establishment Family Clan.
The clan members in Foundation Establishment stage numbered more than twenty. In theory, with Wei Chong reaching Core Formation, they should have been elevated to a Core Formation Family Clan.
But sadly, he was framed by Su Yu Long, his whole family was massacred, and without any support, what could he do?
[Blood Abyss] was the sacred Cultivation ground of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. Inner Sect Disciples who reached Foundation Establishment Stage could exchange ten thousand Contribution Points for a chance to enter.
Specific details were prohibited from being revealed by the Sect. But based on past accounts, a thousand years prior, the Blood Sect Master of that era, who was now the Blood Demon Sect's Overlord, entered Blood Abyss for a hundred years during his Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
When he emerged, he was already at Peak Core Formation Cultivation Level, his Magic Treasures, Mystical Powers, and Secret Incantations were all acquired from Blood Abyss.
He was chosen by the Blood Demon Hall lineage and was bestowed the Ancient Blood Demon Scripture.
A mere fifty years later, he achieved Nascent Soul. It was clear that [Blood Abyss] was beneficial for Cultivation, it seemed to contain all sorts of Fortuitous Encounters.
Entering the Blood Abyss was Wei Chong's only hope for reversal.
If Wang Yu recalled correctly, years ago Zhao Shang, who had dirt on him, also used a Third Tier Void Escape Talisman to forcefully escape into the Blood Abyss.
After all these years with no word, the probability of death was extremely high. Yet he felt the other person was not reckless, but meticulous in his thinking, in no way inferior to him.
He must have discovered some Secrets and was confident in surviving, and even gaining significant advantages, that's why he made this choice.
The two matters Situ Hong spoke of were all very beneficial to him.
Leveraging his connection with Tantai Chan, he was now a "staunch" supporter of True Inheritor Yan Ling. He need not fear being held accountable for the failed Spirit Slave mission.
Currently at Frigid Blood Peak, True Inheritor Yan Ling had taken center stage, openly and honestly competing with other True Disciples, and holding a considerable advantage.
This allowed him to not worry about being settled scores with, and since Su Yu Long had also returned to Elephant Mountain Duan Clan, his future was bright.
"Excellent. Is there any other noteworthy news?"
Situ Hong thought for a moment.
"Would you consider Liu Jin Xian reaching Foundation Establishment as news?"
If we consider the timeline, Liu Jin Xian was already at Qi Condensation Ninth Layer back at Mysterious Bone Mountain, it was indeed time for her to reach Foundation Establishment.
However, Wang Yu didn't plan to keep associating with this lunatic. He planned to remain in the Sect for a while, to acquire all the standard necessities for Foundation Establishment Stage, and then leave the Sect to establish his own estate.
If he could, he would like to obtain a Third Tier Corpse Arm.
"What about Gu Zhengshun? How has he been recently, is he in the Sect?"
"Yes, but his situation isn't good. It's rumored that he was beaten by his True Inheritor superior for selling a large amount of Profound Essence Flower, and his situation has been consistently bad since then."
"Uh…"
Wang Yu's expression turned peculiar. He remembered selling a large amount of Profound Essence Flower to Gu Zhengshun to process, unexpectedly there was a sequel to that.
He'd asked enough questions, it was time to go report to Frigid Blood Peak. After considering it, Wang Yu tossed out a Jade Bottle.
"Inside is what I gained from this Fortuitous Encounter, after using some, there are still three Nether Heart Pills left. Consider it as this time's intelligence fee, farewell."
With these words, he directly flew out the window and departed.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators already have the right to fly in Inverse Blood Ten Markets, no longer needing to run frantically on the ground, he was naturally also one of those privileged individuals.
Situ Hong stared blankly as Wang Yu left, in his hand the Jade Bottle contained surprisingly Top-Grade Nether Heart Pill, and it was even a Medicinal Pill for Cultivation.
"No wonder his Cultivation Level grew so quickly, he must have gained a Fortuitous Encounter related to Medicinal Pills, and it's even Supreme Grade that is not affected by Spirit Root Aptitude… I won't express my gratitude for such a great kindness, Situ Hong will remember this."
With this Pill's aid, he was also confident in reaching Foundation Establishment Stage in three years, from here on out the world would be vastly different.
On the other side of things, being able to fly was naturally faster than running.
In merely half an hour, Frigid Blood Peak was already distantly in sight.
Tomorrow a new volume will begin.
