Chapter 329: Strict Supervision
“Stop! Which peak are you from? Are you planning to leave the sect?”
“Senior brother, I am Miao Dian from Sword Peak, and I plan to visit the market outside to buy some items. I hope you can allow me to pass.”
At the entrance of the Heaven Demon Sect, a disciple smiled at the guarding cultivator.
Although he was just a gatekeeping disciple, his cultivation was much higher than that of this Sword Peak disciple, and he could not afford to underestimate him.
“Hmph, don’t you know that disciples are not allowed to go out right now?”
Hearing this, the Sword Peak disciple looked puzzled:
“May I ask, when was this order issued?”
As he spoke, this disciple unintentionally offered a few spiritual stones he held in his hand!
However, this action caused the gatekeeping cultivator to frown slightly. He quickly pushed the stones back, saying,
“It’s not that I won’t let you pass, but this is a new order from above. You should wait until tomorrow to leave the sect!”
Though he still refused, the guard’s tone was slightly more polite.
This made the disciple, who intended to leave, feel suspicious. He had thought this senior brother would offer him some convenience due to his position, but now it seemed that the sect had indeed encountered something he was unaware of; otherwise, his spiritual stones would have worked.
Curiosity compelled this disciple to quietly inquire,
“May I ask, senior brother, has something significant happened in the sect?”
Just as the guard disciple was about to respond, a streak of light flashed across the sky, landing above everyone.
“Greetings, Elder!”
The disciple, who was about to answer, immediately fell silent upon the elder’s arrival.
The Sword Peak disciple also ceased his questioning and hurriedly left the area.
“Has anyone left the sect just now?”
The elder descended, asking the guards.
“Replying to the elder, under strict supervision, no one has left the sect!”
“Hmm!”
The elder nodded and then stood still, seemingly not intending to leave.
All of this was observed by Ji Yang, who was hiding nearby.
He had intended to leave the Heaven Demon Sect quickly, but he hadn’t expected the actions of Alchemy Peak to be so swift, even sending an elder to supervise personally.
This put Ji Yang in a difficult position. He did not have an identity token, and he could not use his current identity. Walking out openly was definitely impossible.
Breaking through was also out of the question; if he forced his way through, powerful cultivators would likely come to capture him.
The risk was too great; he could not consider that.
With one path blocked, he decided to take another exit.
The Heaven Demon Sect was so large that there were several exits. If necessary, he could find another way out!
Ji Yang no longer hesitated, lowered his body, and headed in another direction!
As a large sect, aside from a few exits, all other areas are protected by corresponding formations.
Ji Yang had considered using the breaking shuttle, but the great formation of the Heaven Demon Sect was not comparable to the formations of Alchemy Peak; its strength was on a whole different level. He worried that using the breaking shuttle might attract attention.
If he was noticed, it would be no different from charging out directly.
Moreover, whether the breaking shuttle would even work was uncertain.
Unless absolutely necessary, Ji Yang did not plan to resort to that!
Soon, Ji Yang arrived at another exit.
But before he could get close to examine it, he sensed two powerful forces of primordial spirit energy stationed ahead, constantly checking their surroundings!
Clearly, there were high-level cultivators guarding this place!
Ji Yang frowned deeply; this was becoming a bit tricky!
He did not fly towards the other exits.
He did not believe that the Heaven Demon Sect would leave any obvious weaknesses; clearly, leaving through the normal exit was no longer an option.
Now that his identity was exposed, given the power of the Heaven Demon Sect, it would not take long for them to discover his true identity.
This was something that the Heaven’s Secret Pearl and Ye Wuchen could not avoid either.
At this moment, Ji Yang’s mind raced.
Should he use the breaking shuttle to create a gap in the edge of the Heaven Demon Sect’s great formation?
Or should he disguise himself as another disciple and sneak out of the Heaven Demon Sect?
Ji Yang thought the latter might be more reliable, but since the disciples of the Heaven Demon Sect were not allowed to leave, even if he changed his appearance, he still wouldn’t be able to get out.
Just as Ji Yang was deep in thought, he overheard a conversation between two Heaven Demon Sect disciples nearby.
“Senior brother, what’s going on? Why has the sect suddenly gone on lockdown?”
“I heard something happened over at Alchemy Peak; they say a Top-tier Spiritual Plant was stolen!”
“Wow, who has the guts to steal spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak!”
The questioning disciple exclaimed in surprise.
The other person looked around and then said in a low voice,
“According to some rumors, it seems it was that genius from Alchemy Peak, Feng Yu!”
“Feng Yu? Is he the one related to Senior Sister Ling?”
“That’s right, that’s the one, but it’s just a rumor; it’s still uncertain!”
Even so, their expressions showed confidence in the information they had gathered.
“But that Feng Yu is only at the Nascent Soul Stage; what ability does he have to steal Alchemy Peak’s spiritual plants?”
The questioning disciple looked puzzled.
“I heard he has help!”
“That makes sense!”
The questioning disciple suddenly figured it out and speculated,
“Senior brother, do you think there’s a possibility that Feng Yu came specifically for the Alchemy Peak’s spiritual plants?”
“What you say makes some sense, but this is good news for us!”
“Good news? How so?”
The questioning disciple looked confused.
“Ha ha, in that case, Senior Sister Ning definitely won’t get involved with that person!”
“You make a very good point, senior brother!”
Listening to the conversation, Ji Yang’s brows knitted even tighter. He hadn’t expected news to spread so quickly; he wondered where this rumor originated.
But then, Ji Yang’s eyes brightened.
It seemed he had a new idea.
But he had to act fast; if he was late, it might be too late.
With that thought, Ji Yang suddenly appeared in front of the two disciples.
Startled by the sudden appearance, the two were taken aback and then looked at Ji Yang with suspicion, asking,
“Who is this junior disciple?”
“Greetings, brothers. May I ask where Senior Sister Ning lives?”
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s question, both looked at him with hostility.
But after sizing him up, they disdainfully said,
“Senior Sister Ning lives at Flower Moon Pavilion. Just follow this direction, and you’ll see it. But you didn’t even know this and still dared to compete with us for Senior Sister? Hmph, what a lack of self-awareness!”
“Thank you for the information, senior brothers!”
With that, Ji Yang turned and left!
“Senior brother, why did you tell him where Senior Sister Ning lives?”
“Tsk tsk, you really don’t understand? Think about it carefully; has any past disciple ever gained Senior Sister Ning’s favor? This guy will definitely return empty-handed! Senior Sister will also dislike him!”
“You’re really clever, senior brother!”
“Hmph, doesn’t need to say!”
While the two were conversing, Ji Yang had already quickly made his way towards Flower Moon Pavilion.
