Chapter 115 The Danger Finally Came
Ever since he received the “sect-destroying” quest, Jiang Beiran had kept the most effective divination until now. His goal was to have more confidence.
Because his divination points were not high, the divination would only work one time out of ten times. However, if he accumulated the point and did not use it, it would be like luck stacking up. Hence, he could do an almost 100% accurate divination.
For example, Jiang Beiran had divined the location of the Thunder Spirit Flower in this way.
And this time, Jiang Beiran was prepared to use the accumulated luck to ward off disaster.
Generally speaking, he should have thought of a question or something he wanted to know before the divination. However, Jiang Beiran did not know if it were because his cultivation was too shallow, his divination would not be accurate if he did it for a very specific purpose. He only nailed it a few times when he was just doing the divination casually.
It was the same today. After completing the divination ceremony, Jiang Beiran poured out the three copper coins in the turtle shell.
“Front… front… back, two, two, three.”
After writing down these three numbers, Jiang Beiran stuffed the copper coins back into the turtle shell and continued to shake it.
After repeating it six times, Jiang Beiran received a group of numbers.
“The first group is the Yang Line, and later… Seven, seven, seven, nine, eight, seven.” Yang lines anti-hexagram, from the bottom for the upper number, Odd Yang couple for Yin, Yang, Yang, Yang, Yin, Yang, Yang, Yang, Yang. “The divinatory sign is… scorching fire in the sky.”
Jiang Beiran took out the hanging plate and began to deduce divination.
Mo Xia was at the outside squat to study the Go book. After half an hour, he ran back and knocked on the door twice. After hearing “come in” from his brother senior, he carefully pushed open the door.
“Brother Jiang, I’m done with my walk.”
“Well, sorry to trouble you. Come, sit down.” Jiang Beiran pointed to the opposite side of the Go board and spoke.
“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”
Mo Xia sat down excitedly. Just as he picked up the white piece, he found that his senior brother’s expression seemed a little strange.
“Brother Jiang, what happened just now?”
“Nothing, just place the piece.”
er w
Knowing that his senior brother wasn’t going to tell him, Mo Xia didn’t ask any more questions and placed the stone on the star position.
After the game ended, Mo Xia sensed that his senior brother had something on his mind, so he didn’t beg for another game. He quietly put away the Go board and went to read the Go book.
Meanwhile, Jiang Beiran sat on the bed and continued to think about the divination he had just deduced.
“It has nothing to do with tomorrow’s gathering of young heroes…”
This time, Jiang Beiran had ‘accumulated strength’ for so long in his divination, but he did not manage to foresee the incident of tomorrow’s gathering of young heroes. Instead, it told him about a place where natural treasures grew.
Jiang Beiran felt like he wasted a divination.
“As expected, divination based on fate is not reliable…” On the positive side, perhaps nothing that would threaten the life of the young heroes would happen this time. On the negative side, it could mean that the divination told him, “Don’t waste your time. There’s no hope. Just wait for death.”
“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it. Sleep.”
He had already done all the necessary preparations. All he could do now was to wait.
The next morning, according to the stipulated gathering time, Jiang Beiran and Mo Xia arrived at the first floor of the guest house. Under Wu Qingce’s lead, all the disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts arrived at the main square of the Sect of Masked Moon. They occupied the largest area in the square. At this moment, the disciples of the other sects in the square also walked over one after another. For some reason, the background music of the “March of Athletes” suddenly rang in Jiang Beiran’s mind. For a moment, he was dreaming of returning to the school field. Very soon, the Sect Masters of the various sects also arrived. They stood in front of their own sects’ teams, but their eyes seemed to be testing each other.
“Are they looking for who bought that Illusory Spirit Treasure Flag yesterday?” Jiang Beiran guessed in his heart.
Since all the guests had arrived, the host naturally wouldn’t be too late. A very loud voice suddenly sounded in the air.
“Many thanks to all for your support. My Sect of Masked Moon is honored with your presence today.”
As soon as his voice fell, Guan Shi’an landed on the high platform in the middle of the square.
For a moment, all kinds of congratulatory words rang out at the same time, but it was a bit messy. After all, no rehearsals had been done.
However, Jiang Beiran felt that this should be a consensus reached by all the Sect Masters. It was already very respectful enough to be there and celebrate Guan Shi’an’s birthday. If they needed to rehearse, wouldn’t it be completely like a lackey?
Guan Shi’an, who was listening to all kinds of congratulatory words, did not care about these small details. He cupped his hands and said to the surrounding people, “I have been in closed-door cultivation for five years. During these five years, my Sect of Masked Moon has been taken care of by all the Sect Masters. I appreciate everyone.” “Sect Master Guan is too polite.” This time, everyone spoke very neatly.
“With the favor of the heavens, I have been able to break through to the mystic master during this period of my life. I hope that I can use this to revitalize Fengzhou. Of course, I still need to rely on the various sects…”
“Hahahaha! Sect Master Guan! Why didn’t you inform your old friend about the birthday celebration?!”
Halfway through Guan Shi’an’s words, a wild voice swept across the entire square. For a moment, everyone looked around. “Okay, it happened.” Looking at Guan Shi’an’s furrowed brows on the high platform, Jiang Beiran’s heart suddenly relaxed. He knew that the big trouble he had been waiting for, or perhaps looking for, had finally arrived.
It was just that Jiang Beiran couldn’t figure out why the man had to laugh twice before he said his sentences. What was the point of laughing?
When the group of disciples didn’t understand what had happened, the Sect Masters all looked at Guan Shilan with very serious expressions. “Everyone, follow me!” Guan Shi’an said this and rose into the air, flying towards the Sect of Masked Moon.
Lu Yinlong returned to the front of the Sect of Returning Hearts and shouted, “All disciples, follow me. Don’t fall behind. There might be danger later. Remember to follow me at all times.”
Although the disciples were confused, they still immediately agreed, “Yes!”
A large group followed Lu Yinlong all the way to the gate of the Sect of Masked Moon. Jiang Beiran saw a group of people wearing strange clothes standing outside the sect protecting formation from afar. Their hair was all colorful, and they had a somewhat unconventional demeanor.
“So, it’s the demonic cult’s attack… Tsk, this trouble is really not small.” While he was thinking about this, Jiang Beiran had already quickly planned out several escape routes. These were all investigated by him when he was ‘strolling’ in the Sect of Masked Moon.
Soon, the disciples of each sect came to Guan Shi’an’s back, and the people of both sides lined up in a line with the sect protecting formation as the boundary.
Feeling the extreme tension in the air, Guan Shi’an took the lead and said, “Cult Master Yin! Since you know that I didn’t invite you, why did you come here as an uninvited guest?”
Hearing the words Cult Master Yin, Jiang Beiran confirmed that the person who came was just as he had thought, the cult master of the Spirit Dragon Cult, Yin Jiang Hong.
If the Sect of Masked Moon was the largest sect in Fengzhou, then the Spirit Dragon Cult was the largest demonic cult in Fengzhou.
And only this leader of the demonic cult would dare to appear in such a manner on such a day.
Seeing that Guan Shi’an didn’t hold back at all, Yin Jianghong smiled and said, “Sigh, I have no choice. I have been doing really good without you, Sect Master Guan. So, I want to bring my brothers here to ask for a cup of wine from you. Can you just arrange a seat for us in a corner? Isn’t this too much, right?”
“Ha! You’re full of nonsense.” Guan Shi’an laughed disdainfully, “tell me, why are you here today? If you don’t give me a reason, then I will destroy you, the leader of the demonic cult, in public today!”
After Guan Shilan said that, the aura of the mystic master instantly exploded, causing both parties to step back. Except for Yin Jianghong. “Aiyo, Sect Master Guan has such a bad temper. You want to kill me just like that? Alright, I will leave my head here. You can take it away if you can.”
After Yin Jianghong said that, a burst of mystic energy that was as strong as Guan Shi’an’s exploded from his body.
“You!” Guan Shi’an’s eyes widened as he looked at Yin Jianghong who was stretching his head towards him in great surprise.
“What? Aren’t you going to cut me?” Yin Jianghong stood up straight again as he spoke, “You look very surprised. Do you really think that you’re the only one who has broken through in the past few years? Or perhaps… you’re not stupid enough to think that I would come here as a mystic emperor, right?”
“Mystic master!”
All the Sect Masters were shocked at the same time. They had guessed that Yin Jianghong must have broken through to mystic master as well. Otherwise, Yin Jianghong would not have dared to come here so brazenly. However, they were still stunned when they confirmed that Yin Jianghong had become mystic master.
In a province, if the righteous and evil factions wanted to maintain balance, both sides would have the same top combat strength. Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi’an were the same. They had both broken through to mystic emperor level nine a long time ago. That was why they had always maintained the delicate balance between good and evil.
On the high platform just now, Guan Shilan originally wanted to mobilize the people of the other sects to thoroughly wipe out the demonic cult in the Fengzhou. However, he did not expect that the other party would actually come knocking on his door. Moreover, the top combat strength of the cult had also become the mystic sect.
Knowing that Yin Jianghong had also broken through to the mystic master, Guan Shi’an took a deep breath and said seriously, “Then I will ask again. What exactly is Cult Master Yin here
for?”
“Hahaha, Sect Master Guan, aren’t you going to kill me? That’s great, why do you have to fight and kill each other the moment you meet? It’s not good to teach all your righteous disciples to be bad.” “So, Cult Master Yin, are you here to chat with
me?”
“Aiya, you are still so anxious, and you haven’t changed even after becoming the mystic master. Didn’t I already answer you before? I just brought my men here to ask for a cup of wine, and we just need to find a few tables.” “What if I say no?”
“Then you’re disrespectful to me. We can only think of a way to go in and find a drink.”
“Looks like you’re just here to cause trouble. Why are you wasting your breath!”
“Aiya, you’re being unreasonable. Look, I’ve been here for so long. Have I ever touched your sect protecting formation? I don’t think so. I really don’t have any ill intentions.” Looking at Guan Shi’an was about to fly into rage, Yin Jianghong suddenly laughed out loud, “Good, good, good. Since you are not willing to drink at the same table with us, then… We can at least compete in arena, right?”
