Chapter 231: Setting Off Again
After hearing this, the Xuanwu showed a hint of surprise in its eyes. Looking at Ji Yang’s expression, it seemed he was not lying.
It was well aware of Talent Jealousy.
When it came to safety or food, it chose the former.
The Xuanwu quickly turned and ran away, fearing Ji Yang might actually eat it. After all, who would refuse to have a True Spirit as a mount?
That was an honor many cultivators could only dream of!
Seeing the Xuanwu leave, Ji Yang turned and headed towards the place where the flying boat was docked.
It wasn’t very safe to break through here.
Who knew if that turtle would come back?
Anyway, since he had cultivation points in hand, he wasn’t worried about losing them; he could leave it for now.
Aiming for the direction of the market, Ji Yang quickened his pace.
On the flying boat, many disciples also showed confusion.
Senior Brother Ji had been missing for several days, and no one knew when he would return, which worried the many disciples.
Just relying on themselves, it was indeed a bit difficult to complete the sect’s training task.
At that moment, a sharp-eyed disciple noticed a streak of Escape Light approaching the flying boat quickly. The disciple exclaimed joyfully,
“Senior Brother Ji is back!”
Upon hearing this, many disciples looked up.
Ji Yang’s figure quickly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Great!”
“Senior Brother Ji has finally returned!”
Many disciples’ faces once again regained their calm.
As inner disciples, they naturally wanted to complete this training task beautifully, and with Ji Yang back, it meant they could set off soon.
Ruan Yong’an and the others returned to the interior of the flying boat, ready to depart at any moment after seeing Ji Yang come back.
After Ji Yang got off the flying boat to check everything, he stepped onto the deck of the flying boat.
Seeing many disciples eagerly waiting, Ji Yang asked,
“Are all the disciples here?”
“Replying to Senior Brother Ji, all the junior brothers are already on the flying boat.”
“Good.”
Ji Yang nodded:
“Then let’s go!”
With Ji Yang’s command given, the three spiritual boats set sail again, heading towards the Heaven Demon Sect.
Below in the market, the Golden Core Stage elder breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
In the past two days, the presence of several spiritual boats nearby made other scattered cultivators too afraid to come to the market to buy things, but now they had left.
After the flying boats departed, a group of low-level disciples quickly rushed into the market, looking at the departing boats with envy.
Those belonged to a large sect, an achievement they could never reach in their lives.
At the same time, many cultivators began to subtly inquire about what had happened in the past two days. Although many disciples were unaware of the details, they shared what they had seen and heard.
This became a topic of conversation for many cultivators during their free time.
On the flying boat, Ji Yang stood at the edge of the deck, gazing forward with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
At that moment, a disciple behind him spoke cautiously:
“Senior Brother Ji, yesterday, a sect steward came looking for you.”
Ji Yang was taken aback, then realized it must be Elder Li, so he asked,
“Was it only him?”
The disciple nodded.
“Alright, I understand. There’s no need to pay him any mind.”
“Understood, Senior Brother Ji.”
After reporting this, the disciple said no more.
Ji Yang then left the deck and returned to his room.
He suddenly remembered he hadn’t found any traces of demonic path cultivators in Elder Li’s storage bag, indicating that Elder Li was indeed a member of the He Dao Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold the position of steward.
Since Elder Li wasn’t the mastermind, it meant that there was someone else behind the previous incident.
That person was likely a demonic path cultivator lurking within the sect, holding a high position. Otherwise, how could they persuade Elder Li to assassinate him? Betraying the sect and the Dao was a major taboo in the Cultivation World!
Without sufficient benefits to lure him, Elder Li wouldn’t go this far.
It couldn’t be merely because he had a grudge against him, could it?
After some thought, Ji Yang shook his head.
With tens of thousands of cultivators in the He Dao Sect, whoever successfully infiltrated the sect without being found must have hidden skills of their own, making it impossible for him to know who they were.
However, after this task failure, he expected they would continue to take action, and at that time, he could follow the clues to find the true culprit.
Thinking about their upcoming trip to the Heaven Demon Sect, he feared the task might not go smoothly and that he needed to act cautiously.
If it truly came to a worst-case scenario, switching to another sect wouldn’t be a bad option either.
Over the next few days, the journey went smoothly. There were scattered cultivators who attempted to ambush Ji Yang and the others’ spiritual boats, but upon seeing the disciples fly out from the boats, they scattered in fear.
Robbery in the cultivation world was riskier.
There were certain circumstances under which they could not rob, so they quickly retreated.
One of these circumstances included large groups of disciples traveling together, like Ji Yang’s group.
Although these disciples appeared to have low cultivation levels and seemed like easy targets, their clothing and artifacts were quite exceptional.
You could never know if these sect disciples might suddenly pull out a magic treasure to retaliate.
Moreover, one could not tell if there were any high-level cultivators from the sect guarding them. If they were oblivious and provoked someone, they could meet a quick demise.
Many disciples had considered pursuing the scattered cultivators.
However, Ji Yang stopped them, citing the urgency of their sect training and the importance of time.
The next day, many disciples who had originally looked relaxed were now focused and alert because their flying boat had entered the realm of the demonic path.
The righteous and demonic paths generally did not interfere with one another, but the sects of both paths were distributed at two extremes, with one side housing more righteous path cultivators and the other more demonic path cultivators.
There was a recognized dividing line between them.
At this moment, Ji Yang and the others’ flying boat had crossed that dividing line and began drifting toward the demonic path sect’s direction.
Although they were within its range, they were still quite far from the Heaven Demon Sect, so there was no need for excessive worry; they merely needed to act with caution in this area, as a demonic path cultivator might disregard everyone’s identities and act recklessly.
“Senior Brother Ji, should we have the disciples change into different outfits?” Ruan Yong’an asked nearby.
Ji Yang found this reasonable and nodded in agreement.
Their spiritual boat was a personal possession of the disciples and bore no mark of the He Dao Sect.
Although their demeanor could not be fully concealed, changing their clothing could prevent a lot of trouble.
“Senior Brother Ji, in another day’s flight, we won’t be able to use the spiritual boat anymore. It might be good to let the junior brothers know the subsequent plans, so they can prepare,” Ruan Yong’an added.
Ji Yang was taken aback at the mention of plans.
What plans did he have?
His plan was to switch to another sect.
Previously, Elder Li said he wanted to join the Heaven Demon Sect, but it was evident that those wanting him dead were from the Heaven Demon Sect. It was ridiculous for them to send their steward to him.
However, this plan was difficult to articulate.
Noticing the other disciples around him looking at him with eager anticipation.
