Chapter 254: I Am a Disciple of the Righteous Path
As Ji Yang looked at the rising dirt walls around him, it was like a great chasm blocking everyone’s way.
Ji Yang was also shocked.
This was the power of high-level cultivators.
The dirt walls before him were merely a common spell, but once a cultivator reached the Spirit Transformation stage, they could connect with the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth and amplify the spell’s power infinitely with their own magic.
This method may not instill fear among cultivators of the same rank, nor would it be very effective.
But for disciples of lower realms, it was complete suppression of their realm!
After casting this spell, Elder Guan did not move again but continued to listen to Steward Wu’s report, his expression calm and unchanging.
However, Ji Yang could sense that this person’s primordial spirit energy had already enveloped the area, allowing him to clearly track the movements of each disciple.
The reason he wasn’t in a rush to take action was simply because he had absolute power and confidence!
To Elder Guan, these fleeing disciples were likely nothing more than jumping clowns.
“Kid, run!”
“You’re no match for this person!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man’s voice came from the fixed-point object.
Although the middle-aged man only had a remnant soul at present, he had a high perspective and could see that the elder’s power far exceeded Ji Yang’s.
“Pills!”
“When will you give me my pills?”
At this time, the voice of Xuanwu rang out from below; he had been following Ji Yang closely, aiming to scavenge bodies!
However, given the current situation, it seemed that the bodies wouldn’t be so easy to collect!
This made him urge Ji Yang.
Listening to the voices around him, Ji Yang frowned.
He had many divine abilities and even the Art of Ascension to speed up; it was not impossible for him to escape.
But if he ran alone, the other disciples in the sect would surely not be able to escape!
This left Ji Yang feeling conflicted, but soon he made a decision in his heart.
Among the thirty-six strategies, retreating is the best strategy.
If he couldn’t win now, he could come back in two years!
With his speed in mining, wouldn’t he break through to a higher realm quickly?
Give him another two years, and reaching the Void Refinement stage would be a piece of cake!
After all, it would only take those He Dao Sect disciples one or two years of mining; that would pass in no time!
He couldn’t even get to mine by himself!
They would be the ones profiting!
With this thought in mind, Ji Yang decided not to take everyone with him to escape. Instead, he turned and prepared to use the Art of Ascension to flee!
“Hmph, useless!”
On the other side, Elder Guan cursed angrily after receiving a clear report from Steward Wu.
After being reprimanded, Steward Wu merely lowered his head in silence, not daring to argue back.
As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he found himself no match for that person.
This surprised him greatly.
However, upon sensing Ji Yang’s sword energy strength, he realized this and decisively played dead!
The sect’s mine was right here; why should he risk his life to block it?
You run your way, and I lie here!
It would be good for everyone!
He just didn’t expect Elder Guan to arrive so quickly.
But that was fine; this way, his guilt was much less, and he wouldn’t face too severe a punishment!
Moreover, he had some small connections in the sect; otherwise, how would he dare to act this way!
…
“Kid, there is actually another way! It can help your junior disciples leave safely!”
Just as Ji Yang prepared to retreat, the middle-aged man’s voice came again from the fixed-point object.
Ji Yang paused, looking at the copper mirror in his hand with a sullen expression.
He was ready to leave, and now this person mentioned a solution—wasn’t that just adding to his troubles?
But he still asked, “What method?”
Sensing Ji Yang’s unfriendly gaze, the middle-aged man didn’t hesitate and simply said,
“Wasn’t there a woman in the mine before?”
“This woman’s identity seems unusual; if you capture her and use her as a hostage to threaten this elder, you will naturally be able to leave safely!”
Ji Yang was taken aback after hearing this.
Then he hesitated and said, “That’s not very good! I am a disciple of the He Dao Sect!”
“Will this not go against the reputation of my righteous sect?”
“Besides, this way of acting seems rather despicable; it truly troubles my conscience!”
The middle-aged man was momentarily speechless and replied, “So, will you capture her or not?”
“Capture!”
Recalling the various magical treasures and pills that Ren Yuning had displayed in the mine, he realized her identity was indeed unusual.
Furthermore, he had not seen any of the others leaving with Nascent Soul Stage maidens accompanying them.
Capture her, and exchange for the safe departure of the He Dao Sect disciples!
This plan is feasible!
Of course, there are risks, and those risks will only grow larger!
But who cares when he is selfless and a good senior brother in the sect!
Ji Yang immediately strode into the mine!
In fact, as soon as the middle-aged man suggested the idea, Ji Yang had already taken action.
Elder Guan, not far away, watched Ji Yang’s movements very clearly. In the previous report, Steward Wu also mentioned him and indicated that he was the Main Instigator of this incident.
However, Elder Guan did not pay much attention. What might have been a big deal before was just a small matter now that he had arrived. No matter who the Main Instigator was, he would settle the accounts later.
Seeing that many He Dao Sect disciples remained stubborn, Elder Guan took action again.
He slightly raised his arm, and with each finger, a He Dao Sect disciple fell unconscious, only to be restrained by the demonic path cultivators again with the restraint shackles!
As he acted, he did not forget to ask Steward Wu beside him,
“Is Shi-niang Yuning also here?”
Before Steward Wu could respond, several people emerged from the mine.
These individuals looked disheveled and their clothes were in disarray, much like the other miners.
But their realm and aura were unmistakably unique; they were Ren Yuning and several maidservants who had broken free from the fixed-point object.
However, the earlier steward who had tried to flee was nowhere to be seen.
After escaping the restraints, Ren Yuning hurriedly led her maidservants to capture Ji Yang.
When they reached the entrance of the mine, they caught sight of Ji Yang approaching.
Both of them exchanged glances and felt a flicker of joy.
“Good, no need to search anymore!”
This thought quickly flashed in their minds.
At this moment, Ren Yuning also noticed Elder Guan nearby, observing the traces of spells around, and understood instantly. She quickly said,
“Please, Uncle Guan, help me capture this person!”
Ren Yuning was not as careless as before; after all, the previous confrontation had proven Ji Yang’s strength!
Most importantly, her storage ring was still on Ji Yang! Most of her magical treasures were inside!
Upon hearing Ren Yuning’s request, Elder Guan felt a bit puzzled.
Typically, this niece would not ask him for help, but at this moment, he wore a slightly kind smile and prepared to restrain Ji Yang.
However, just as Ren Yuning spoke, Ji Yang reacted even faster!
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yang rushed toward Ren Yuning with lightning speed!
He aimed to subdue her before Elder Guan could act, using her as a bargaining chip!
“Bold move!”
Elder Guan felt his anger surge!
He did not expect Ji Yang to be so ungrateful, daring to act right before him!
