Shen Mo was no Saint! He was willing to go through the trouble of bringing the creatures of the Red Fla Zone to the Immortal Realm so they could aid his cultivation, not beco a burden. Therefore, he was determined not to let the conflicts and disputes among the various factions within the sect affect its normal operations.
...
「One day.」
Shen Mo had just finished cultivating with Zhao Lingyin when the Sound Transmission Talisman that had been cast aside began to vibrate. This talisman was very different from the original Sound Transmission Talismans. Like the elixir recipe for the Shape Transforming Pill, the Red Fla Sect had obtained it through a costly trade with Azure Heaven Cave. It was half talisman and half magic artifact, and its information transmission capabilities and range had both been significantly upgraded!
As Shen Mo's sense swept over the talisman, his expression darkened. He hastily threw on his robe and exited their private chambers.
Zhao Lingyin's disciple, Lu Taorui, a maid and disciple from GuanYun Mansion, stood outside, a mix of timidity and reverence on her face. Their chambers were protected by multiple Prohibitions. Without being summoned, she dared not and would not intrude. Being hard by the Prohibitions was a small matter; if she were to interrupt her Master and the Immortal Master's cultivation, she feared the "good days" that would follow!
When the Prohibitions dissipated and Shen Mo erged from the house, Lu Taorui imdiately approached him and respectfully reported, "Sect Master, I have an urgent matter to report! The Peak Master of Green Cloud Peak and the Peak Master of Ascending Lake have co to blows in the Mountain-River Zone, damaging several mountains and Elixir Gardens. They've now fought their way out of the Fairyland and are currently engaged in a fierce battle outside the big array..."
The Sound Transmission Talisman and Lu Taorui were reporting the sa incident: the conflict between Chen ngze and Ming Yu. The difference was that the ssage in the talisman ca from the three Deputy Sect Masters, Yuan Heming among them.
After all, few among the ordinary Sect Disciples dared to bother him directly with trivial matters. Even if sothing occurred, they would first report it to the Elders, Hall Masters, or Peak Masters.
Lu Taorui, being a Direct Disciple of Zhao Lingyin and often serving by their side, naturally knew that Chen ngze and Ming Yu, the two won currently fighting fiercely, both had extrely close ties with her Martial Uncle, Shen Mo. Therefore, upon learning this news from a group chat on the Sound Transmission Talisman network, she had imdiately rushed to their chambers to report it to Shen Mo. Unfortunately, she arrived during their "cultivation" session. The chambers were not only tightly sealed, but all the Prohibitions were activated, so she had to wait outside for a while.
Lu Taorui's intuition was correct; matters concerning Chen ngze and Ming Yu were such that almost no one in the Red Fla Sect dared to handle them arbitrarily. Firstly, both won were Peak Master-level figures, their status on par with other Peak Masters, Hall Masters, and Purple Robe Elders. Other Golden Core Realm cultivators would not readily interfere; only the three Deputy Sect Masters could step in to stop their fight. Secondly, all the upper echelons in the sect knew that the two won, Chen ngze and Ming Yu, were extrely close with "Qingyun Immortal Master."
Chen ngze was Shen Mo's childhood sweetheart; their relationship had been ambiguous since their days in the Riverside Sect. Ming Yu, on the other hand, was his sworn sister, whom he had always doted upon. These two won of "special" status had violated sect rules by fighting all the way from the Fairyland to Five Dragon Mountain. Who would dare to ddle?
Guo Xun, the Hall Master of the Enforcent Hall, upon receiving the Law Enforcent Elder's report, imdiately relayed the matter to Yuan Heming, Situ Huo, and Ming Cang. The three Deputy Sect Masters found the situation rather thorny and thus sent a special ssage to inform Shen Mo.
"I see! I am already aware of the matter, no need to say more."
"Taorui, go to the sect's Dining Room. Purchase a table of top-grade celestial delicacies and send it to your Master. She's in a rare mood for so exquisite food today!" Shen Mo remarked lightly.
Just as Lu Taorui nodded in acknowledgnt, an afterimage flashed before her, and Shen Mo's figure vanished instantly.
She dared not linger and imdiately left Guanyun Mansion. Using the Teleportation Array established within the Vacuous Zone, she teleported to the sect's grounds in the Mountain-River Zone. Then, she summoned her escaping light and flew towards the Dining Room.
With the Fairy Feast Hall dedicated to researching exquisite cuisine, the als from the Dining Room have indeed beco more appealing in color, aroma, and taste, as well as richer in Mana.
However, ever since Master advanced to the Spirit Sea Realm, he rarely partakes in such als. Most of the ti, he sustains himself by 'dining on rosy clouds and sipping dew,' or by consuming Elixirs and Spirit Fruits.
It's quite unusual for him to think of enjoying celestial delicacies today. It must be because his cultivation has been overly strenuous lately...
At this thought, Lu Taorui's pretty face flushed slightly, and she dared not let her imagination wander further.
...
「Outside the Fairyland.」
Shen Mo stepped out of the Mountain Protection Array and transford into a golden rainbow, dashing towards the summit of Five Dragon Mountain. Thanks to the Immortal Realm's greater capacity to accommodate powerful experts and forbidden lands, he had successfully resisted the assimilation of his Green Cloud Cave by the power of heaven and earth. He could now move about in the Outer Realm in his real body!
A dozen or so breaths later, he arrived at the location where Chen ngze and Ming Yu were fiercely battling.
Deputy Sect Masters Yuan Heming and Ming Cang were observing from the side, both circulating their Mana and poised to forcefully intervene if the situation took an unexpected turn. After all, from both public and private standpoints, they couldn't just stand by and watch the two won get hurt. Publicly, as Deputy Sect Masters of the Red Fla Sect, Yuan Heming and Ming Cang were second only to Shen Mo in rank and had the responsibility to prevent infighting among Sect Disciples. Privately, Chen ngze, like Yuan Heming, hailed from the forr Riverside Sect, and Ming Yu was Ming Cang's own second daughter!
Seeing Shen Mo arrive, the two Deputy Sect Masters imdiately went to greet him. After exchanging greetings, Shen Mo turned his gaze towards Chen ngze and Ming Yu, who were intensely engaged in a Magic Duel in mid-air.
Although neither woman intended to kill the other, they weren't holding back much, aside from their most lethal killing techniques and ultimate trump cards. Their clear aim was to "teach the other a harsh lesson and make them suffer" as they battled fiercely! No wonder Yuan Heming and Ming Cang were so tense; under such circumstances, a slight misstep could easily lead to both parties suffering grievous injuries.
Chen ngze cultivated the Pure Jade Mantra, a technique obtained from Death Jaw. This had significantly improved her cultivation Talent, granting her an innate aptitude not inferior to that of an Ice Spirit Body. After forming her Golden Core, the Pure Jade True Yuan in her body beca quite formidable. She could effortlessly cast various Ice-type and Water-type Spells with extraordinary power. Even in swordplay, she had forged her own unique path, her bone-chillingly cold sword Qi capable of freezing an enemy's Daoist body and mind! In addition, she possessed nurous magic treasures personally refined and forged for her by Shen Mo, allowing her to fully unleash her extraordinary strength!
Ming Yu was no less impressive. She hailed from the Clam Girl tribe, not an ordinary branch of the Marine Race but a lineage of rare exotic beasts. Over thousands of years, her tribe had produced nurous Class IV big demons, making them a true royal clan within the Immortal Burial Sea. The fundantal cultivation thod she practiced had been refined and improved by generations of Clam Girl big demons, long surpassing ordinary mortal techniques. While perhaps not comparable to the Pure Jade Mantra, it was by no ans diocre. More importantly, Ming Yu had mastered the divine Skill known as The Smallest and The Largest. This made her exceptionally tricky to handle, as she could instantly hide within The Smallest Space when facing a powerful attack!
During their fierce Magic Duel, the mountains and forests for a hundred li around the slopes of Five Dragon Mountain were ravaged beyond recognition. Even when covered in ice and snow, the shattered terrain and destroyed vegetation were still clearly visible. Fortunately, Five Dragon Mountain was massive, comparable in size to the entire Red Fla Zone. Otherwise, if such a fierce battle had occurred within the Fairyland, it's likely that several more mountain ranges would have been utterly obliterated!
