Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 642: Chapter 516: Sect Master Shen Visits Guan Mountain

Given the South Hong Seven Sons’ years of minimal contact with the outside world, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them ignorant and isolated.

Even so, several Daozi quickly realized what Yan Chongzhang was referring to by mentioning that mountain.

The mountain had existed for such an impossibly long time, it was likely there even before Hongze ever appeared.

The Ban Shan Sect did not name it, simply calling it "Mountain."

The founding patriarch felt unworthy to name it, as the sect itself had come into existence because of it.

Other forces, to distinguish it from other mountain ranges, casually called it Nameless Mountain.

There were rumors that Immortal Laws were hidden inside Nameless Mountain, and only those of exceptional resolve and talent could comprehend them.

The reason it remained a rumor was that, to this day, the so-called Immortal Laws had not yet appeared.

Others did not suspect the Ban Shan Sect of hoarding secrets.

The potential value of such an item was imaginable; had it truly existed, the Ban Shan Sect would have long surpassed its current level of power.

What the South Hong Daozi hadn’t expected was that even now, the Daozi of the Ban Shan Sect still maintained their habit of mountain watching.

Bai Wu glanced sidelong at Yang Yunheng and then thoughtfully withdrew his gaze.

From the Great Elder’s reaction, it seemed that even if there were no Immortal Laws in Nameless Mountain, there definitely was something else hidden there.

"What are you trying to say?"

Yan Chongzhang looked at the Great Elder with slight confusion.

Inviting other sect cultivators to watch the mountain wasn’t unusual within the Ban Shan Sect, as the items inside were just spectacles to those who were not Refinement Cultivators.

"No...nothing."

Yang Yunheng’s expression was complex, and once his sect’s Daozi had spoken out, it was not easy to take back his words.

Yet, he had not had the chance to report back to them, and among the guests from the South Hong Sect was indeed a noteworthy Refinement Cultivator.

Well, it was only a glance after all; could it really reveal anything significant?

There really wasn’t a need to be so vigilant.

Besides, even if that youth in black robes really did perceive something...

At this thought, Yang Yunheng’s expression suddenly improved a great deal, knowing well the temptation held by the things hidden in the mountain for Refinement Cultivators.

If the other party tasted the sweetness and wanted to continue exploring, then recruitment negotiations could be discussed.

"Since there’s nothing, let us go with Yan here," said Yan Chongzhang, who seemed to have realized something, yet he did not elaborate. He casually dusted off his clothes and turned to lead the way.

Indeed, the cultivators from Ban Shan Sect not only dressed with an air of the secular world, but even their movements didn’t resemble those of cultivators; facing such a towering range, they seemed determined to traverse it step by step.

Wei Yuanzhou and others were not used to this, but they put away their Teleportation Technique and slowly followed behind.

They weren’t very interested in mountain watching, but with important matters at hand in Western Hong, getting to know more about the Ban Shan Sect’s situation was better than blundering around like headless flies.

"Yan Dao friend, the earlier mention of the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect?"

"..."

Yan Chongzhang paused silently for a moment before he smiled wearily, without turning away, "It’s said they saw something on a stele of theirs, but the specifics aren’t clear to me. It’s news from just over a year ago. With their influence, once they speak, it’s difficult for us to dismiss their reputation."

In terms of a normal person’s reasoning,

even though the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect was formidable, they would likely not risk inciting widespread anger to thrust themselves into the limelight.

After all, their key opponent was still the powerful Northern Dragon Palace.

However, exceptions always exist.

If they were to make a move as a harsh lesson to others, nobody would want to be that sacrificially slain chicken.

Moreover, their generosity was indeed substantial.

"So, if you came seeking assistance, it might be better to stay in Ban Shan Sect for a while. Even our sect is in such a state, let alone others..."

Yan Chongzhang shook his head, "If there’s any news, I’ll try to inform you all."

His words might seem somewhat presumptuous, but they were not entirely unreasonable.

Today, Western Hong, stronger than Southern Hong by quite a bit, had only about sixteen or seventeen giants of the Union Dao Realm.

The situation here was distinctly different from that in Southern Hong.

Unlike in Southern Hong, where the Seven Sons united closely, casting a shadow under which other forces, like the Treasure Flower Sect, subtly aligned with the Seven Sons.

In Western Hong... no, in Hongze, the strife among sects could even be more brutal than conflicts between cultivators and demons.

Giants of the Union Dao Realm weren’t spared from falling either.

For instance, the territories of the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect weren’t all slowly developed by themselves.

Developing one’s own power to make a pact with the heavens and earth wasn’t as convenient as seizing it from others.

After all, the total number stayed the same; if a Union Dao Realm giant fell, another Baiyu Capital Cultivator could immediately take his place, which wouldn’t affect the confrontation with the Dragon Palace.

It was merely a change of the name of the sect.

"So you are really depending on luck to slowly hunt those demon geniuses?"

Wei Yuanzhou furrowed his brow, concerned about this development.

The Western Dragon Palace was clearly preempting the moves of the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, which is why they could afford to help the Southern Dragon Palace with such ostentation, unconcerned about risking their own position.

But for the Seven Sons of South Hong,

the Dragon Palace had already set the stage, and now they found themselves somewhat unable to respond.
