Chapter 221: With Senior Brother Ji Here!
As Ji Yang nodded, the flying boat slowly lifted off from the square.
Due to the large number of disciples following Ji Yang, one flying boat proved to be insufficient, so other disciples summoned two more flying boats to accompany them.
A total of three flying boats now headed towards the sect’s exit.
The grand display drew the astonishment of many disciples below, who wondered which important figure from the sect was departing.
After making some inquiries, they learned it was the inner disciples going out for training, which sparked envy in the eyes of many.
Why did others get to ride flying boats while they had to make their way to the sect’s exit on foot?
Unfortunately, being large flying boats, their speed was actually slower than some smaller flying artifacts.
Soon, the group arrived at the outside of the sect.
Inside the flying boat, many disciples stood on the deck, exchanging cultivation insights and discussing spells.
It was a rare opportunity, and it was best to get to know the other disciples.
Training?
Wasn’t Senior Brother Ji on board?
They had nothing to worry about.
They just needed to follow Senior Brother Ji’s arrangements.
With a famous figure leading, Senior Brother Ji must have had plans already.
Inside the flying boat, He Feng and the others gathered around Ji Yang. Apart from the familiar Mining F4, there were also some disciples Ji Yang did not recognize.
However, seeing the awe in these disciples’ eyes, Ji Yang felt it was not appropriate to send them away.
“Senior Brother Ji, where should we go to complete the sect’s training task?”
Ruan Yong’an asked earnestly, preparing to follow Ji Yang’s lead.
The other disciples nearby also turned their attention to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang, under the gaze of many disciples, felt like scratching his head.
How would he know where to go to complete the sect’s tasks?
But considering he was now the leader in the eyes of many disciples, Ji Yang replied,
“Do we have a map?”
“Senior Brother Ji, I have one.”
A disciple quickly pulled out a map from his storage bag.
Looking at the map spread out before him, Ji Yang’s expression grew thoughtful, but his mind was blank.
The routes on the map were unclear; aside from a few notable place names, it lacked any other distinctive features. Was this even a map?
Yet, seeing the other disciples studying it intently and appearing lost in thought, Ji Yang felt hesitant to voice his opinions.
Ruan Yong’an, sensing the moment, began to introduce the map to Ji Yang:
“Senior Brother Ji, please take a look.”
"I’m leading the He Dao Sect from this place. If we head south for half a month, we should be able to reach the location of the Heaven Demon Sect."
"To the west is the Four Symbols Sect, which will take about a month to get close to…"
"To the north is the Blood Separation Sect, which will take around a month and a half…"
"To the east…"
Through Ruan Yong’an’s introduction, Ji Yang began to understand the directions and positions on the map.
Then Ji Yang fell into deep thought.
The goal of this training trip was to gather the latest information about the demonic sects. This task was neither easy nor difficult, but in any case, they had to make close contact with a demonic sect.
However, since the various demonic sects were spread out over long distances, they needed to choose their direction and the specific sect in advance to avoid wasting time.
He had heard a little about the Heaven Demon Sect; it was the leading sect of the six demonic sects, with strength comparable to the He Dao Sect.
Although it was the closest option, most other inner disciples would not choose this sect as their target.
The reason was simple: the risk was too high.
Moreover, they were just a group at the Foundation Establishment stage; trying to gather news about the Heaven Demon Sect was beyond their capabilities.
The Four Symbols Sect and the Blood Separation Sect were also among the six demonic sects.
These two sects were relatively weaker and the distances were more suitable, so gathering information about them would be the most reasonable choice.
Listening to the discussions of the other disciples nearby, it was clear they shared the same thoughts as Ji Yang, but without his confirmation, they hesitated to voice their opinions.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Yang decisively said,
"South!"
Hearing Ji Yang’s words, the other disciples were momentarily stunned but quickly responded,
"As expected of Senior Brother Ji, choosing the strongest sect, the Heaven Demon Sect!"
"Hmph, the mere Heaven Demon Sect! With Senior Brother Ji here, what is there to fear?"
…
Listening to the compliments from the nearby disciples, Ji Yang felt helpless.
When did he say he would go to the Heaven Demon Sect? The reason he suggested south was simply that his village was located south of the He Dao Sect.
But it was not something he could say; let them misunderstand as they wished.
As for going to the Heaven Demon Sect?
Ji Yang did not have the courage for that yet. Although he felt confident in his cultivation, he was still far from being equal to a top-tier sect.
That would be courting death, something to avoid.
At worst, when they arrived, he would just change destinations.
After all, he was the leader; wherever they went, it was still his decision.
"Alright."
Ruan Yong’an nodded in agreement, and the others did not object, so the flying boat headed straight towards the direction of the Heaven Demon Sect.
The other two flying boats followed suit without hesitation.
With Senior Brother Ji here!
Everyone can rest assured!
“Senior Brother Ji, this flight will take quite some time, so I’ve prepared a room for you on the second floor. You should go rest early.” Ruan Yong’an and the others said with smiles.
“It’s nothing, I’ll go out and have a look first.”
Going out for training, they couldn’t mine, fish, or farm, which was rather boring.
For his cultivation, the benefits weren’t great; instead of staying in the room in seclusion, he would rather stand on the deck of the flying boat and enjoy the scenery.
Ji Yang walked toward the deck, followed by many disciples, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable. He could only say to them,
“Just go about your own business.”
Ruan Yong’an and the others nodded.
This flying boat was his; he and He Feng were responsible for flying and controlling the formations.
As for the other disciples, they eagerly said,
“Following behind Senior Brother Ji is our duty!”
“Please don’t stop us, Senior Brother Ji!”
“Just give us any orders, Senior Brother Ji!”
Ji Yang felt a sense of helplessness, but there was nothing he could do; since they wanted to follow, so be it. This feeling wasn’t so bad after all.
He finally had some loyal followers!
When he arrived at the deck of the flying boat, many disciples who were still talking stood up,
“Greetings, Senior Brother Ji.”
“Hello, Senior Brother Ji!”
“Do you have any tasks for us? We will not decline.”
…
Ji Yang smiled,
“Nothing important, just go about your own business.”
“Though Senior Brother Ji possesses Talent Jealousy, he is truly kind-hearted.”
“It is our blessing to travel with Senior Brother Ji.”
Listening to the whispers around him, Ji Yang sighed.
Being a leader didn’t seem to be as simple as he thought.
He missed the carefree days when he farmed alone on Jingtan Peak.
As for the spiritual herb garden, Elder Yan and Steward Fan had already arranged everything; he just needed to water the plants once a day, which was a different situation.
When talking about the spiritual herb garden, Ji Yang pondered for a moment.
Elder Yan and Steward Fan never came back early or late; they would always wait until things got messy before returning.
This made him feel like they were doing it on purpose.
However, since the matter had already passed, Ji Yang didn’t dwell on it any longer.
