Chapter 75: Twenty-Eight Characters of the Shenzhou

Sun True Person, the sect master of the Bai Bai Lu Men, was still in a trance until she returned to the Bai Lu Cliff where the mountain gate was located. The Golden River Sect was an immortal sect with strength not inferior to the Bai Bai Lu Men. Apart from lacking a bit of heritage, the Sect Master Pei True Person had always been on an equal footing with Sun Sun Huanqin.

And because there had been many talents in recent years, it looked somewhat prosperous, and there were faint signs of reaching into other immortal sects.

Previously, Sect Master Pei proposed a marriage for his nephew, which seemed to have this intention.

Sun Sun Huanqin had never thought that such a prosperous force, with more than a dozen Core Formation elders, a sect master of middle-grade Core Formation, deep heritage, and more than a hundred Penetrating Law cultivators, apart from not having a True Person who had achieved supreme-grade Core Formation and refined the Primordial Spirit, was not inferior to major sects like the Meishan Sect and the Baicao Sect in terms of strength. Yet it was overturned by a rogue cultivator who jumped out inexplicably.

And it was a fierce and swift one-man, one-sword, killing from the mountain gate, all the way to the front of the sect main hall, almost unstoppable.

"What kind of rogue cultivator is this? Where is this a rogue cultivator... If he is a rogue cultivator, what are we? A beggar's nest?"

Sun Sun Huanqin thought of her disciple's entanglement in it, and couldn't help but have a headache. After returning to the mountain gate, she found the service disciple and asked him to call her two disciples. Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan returned to the Bai Bai Lu Men, still somewhat dazed, and Yan Cai persuaded her several times, but couldn't wake up this senior sister who was scared silly.

In Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan's heart, Yan Yan Shixiong Pei was already the most outstanding person of the younger generation.

Not to mention in this remote place of Jiuzhen County, even in the prosperous places of the Central Plains, even if he faced the true transmissions of the Dao Sect, he wouldn't necessarily be worse than anyone... She had also seen the disciples of the Dao Academy, one by one, who could achieve middle-grade Core Formation, and they would brag about it, even openly holding a pill-forming banquet.

Compared to Yan Yan Shixiong Pei, who only sought supreme-grade Core Formation, they were indeed somewhat useless, which made her look down on them.

But such a promising young elite, who could even be said to have made a name for himself and had a deep Dao industry, was killed by a rogue cultivator who provoked him!

The scene of Brother Qian Chen piercing Pei Pei Junhu's heart became her nightmare.

Yan Cai saw her like this and had to persuade: "Yan Shixiong sister, don't be like this... I don't think that rogue Brother Qian is necessarily a rogue in the rivers and lakes as he said. When Yan Yan Shixiong Pei sent someone to ask at the Wei Chenghuang's office, I felt that the Wei Chenghuang's refusal was very firm, as if he feared this person more than offending Yan Yan Shixiong Pei."

"And later I went to inquire, and learned that a strange thing happened not long ago... The Wei family held a pill banquet for a side-door cultivator, but the pill wasn't refined, and the person was refined to death. The things that happened during the period were varied, but from what the Wei Wei Chenghuang said, perhaps one can see a few clues."

"The many evil ghosts imprisoned by the Wei Chenghuang in the Yin soil are his duty. How can he easily lend them?"

"Unless there is a divine talisman issued by a true transmission of the Dao Sect, the Wei Chenghuang can give convenience in a justified way... In this way, that person's identity can almost be said to be ready to come out... An expert in pill refining, an expert who appeared in Jiuzhen County recently, and has high magic power... Isn't this the person introduced to us by the Cui clan disciple?"

"But... even if it is a true transmission of the Dao Sect, how can it be so fierce?" Sister Guan Pingxuan said angrily: "The Dao Academy commands the Dao Sects of the world, and is the leader of the Dao Sects, but I see that the inner sect disciples of the Jiuzhen County Dao Academy are all scrambling to curry favor with Senior Brother Pei? In Northern Wei, there are the 'Yuedan Comments' of the two True Persons of the Xu family, and in Southern Jin, there are the 'One Generation Dragon Gate' of the Wang family, Senior Wang Yan... In the past sixty years, twenty-eight outstanding juniors from the family immortal sects in various places have been called the Twenty-Eight Characters."

"The Twelve Sons of Northern Wei, the Sixteen Characters of Southern Jin, together are the most outstanding people of the younger generation in the Chixian Shenzhou."

"Cui Yan of the Cui clan obtained the comment of 'Qinghe Dao Broad, Inner Show Bright Light' from Yan Shixiong Wang Yan, and is a candidate for the next Twenty-Eight Characters of the Shenzhou. But his own younger brother is just so-so!"

"Even among the Twenty-Eight Sons, the 'Peaceful Elephant, Great Tribulation True Dragon' Wang Longxiang..."

"Or the 'Zhi Orchid Jade Tree, Jiangzuo Xiao Xie Lang' Xiao Xie Lingyun..."

"I have also seen the disciples of the Wang and Xiao Xie families, and they are not as good as Yan Yan Shixiong Pei. If a true transmission of the Dao Sect takes action, it has such power, then if any one of the Twenty-Eight Characters takes action, wouldn't they be able to sweep across the entire Jiuzhen Immortal Sect?"

"I have never heard of any of the Twenty-Eight Characters who can be so fierce!"

Yan Cai was silent. She couldn't tell her senior sister that the truth was indeed so! She had always had a delicate heart, and after seeing Brother Qian Chen take action to behead Yan Yan Shixiong Pei, when she thought about it, she had a feeling that if she practiced to the realm of Pei Pei Junhu, although she would not be the opponent of that rogue Brother Qian, dealing with four or five Yan Yan Shixiong Peis would be ordinary.

Killing them would not be too difficult!

She thought that the Twenty-Eight Characters of the world were all first-grade Foundation Establishment, had true spirits, and the first nine characters were said to have already achieved supreme-grade Core Formation, and were about to withdraw from the Twenty-Eight Characters, so they had selected several new generation juniors to prepare to fill the vacancies. Such people, sweeping across Jiuzhen, was not impossible to think.

At this time, a disciple stepped forward and summoned: "The Sect Master invites you!"

Sister Guan Pingxuan hurried to stand up: "The master is back! That person is fierce, but he won't be rampant for long! I see that person is only a lower-grade pill phase. He killed Senior Brother Pei by surprise, but how can he block the revenge of Sect Master Pei? At that time, the Jiuzhen Immortal Sect will act in concert, and there will definitely be help. If this person escapes, it's fine, but if he doesn't escape, his head will be offered in the blink of an eye."

"Junior sister, we should still think about how to explain to Sect Master Pei!" Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan's eyebrows were knotted, sighing: "Yan Yan Shixiong Pei can be considered to have died because of us, and if Sect Master Pei is angry..."

"Junior sister, you sent this person to the Golden River Sect to seek death, which is indeed a wonderful move, but preventing me from reporting this matter to Sect Master Pei... is thinking wrong. Moreover, you even gave the Bai Bai Lu Men's name card to this person! This matter is now difficult to explain clearly, and we still need the master to take action to resolve it... If the master is willing to take action to encircle and kill this person, I think Sect Master Pei will not blame us."

Yan Cai sighed helplessly. If Sect Master Pei is angry, wouldn't the master protect them?

She only thought about troubling the master to take risks to eliminate the disaster for them, bowing and admitting small... resolving this matter, but didn't think that the master is just a big tree that shelters them from the wind and rain. As long as Sect Master Pei cannot take action on the surface, what is there to fear from some difficulties? Why must the master be troubled for them?

"Yan Shixiong sister used to look somewhat smart, how can she be so confused every time something big happens?"

"And that person's pill qi rose from behind, clearly not issued from the foundation of the dantian, and a cultivator with such sword technique and determination, and also having a superb pill technique, how can he only have a lower-grade primordial pill."

Yan Cai secretly slandered. She was not as without a main idea as Sun Sun Huanqin thought, she just sometimes was too lazy to express her opinions and reverse other people's cognition... She was just because she was too smart, so she never did such stupid things. She knew how to do it herself, why must she convince others? This kind of thankless thing was not what a smart person would do.

Yan Cai knew she had understanding, patience, and could endure hardship, the only thing she lacked was a kind of resilience that would not stop until the goal was reached and would not give up.

That's why she gave people the impression of being submissive and having no main idea.

It was Brother Qian Chen who was like this—'If I can't convince you, I will talk to you with a sword!'—the decisiveness and determination made Yan Cai admire him a bit. People would always admire what they didn't have! Always holding a belly full of words she wanted to say to idiots, seeing this kind of straightforward communication method, she couldn't help but admire it a bit.

The two came to the hall, and before Sun Sun Huanqin could ask, Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan told the matter... She didn't add fuel to the fire, just used her own perspective to state a part of the facts about Brother Qian Chen's tyranny and unreasonableness.

She originally expected the master to protect her and be angry, and she would definitely take action...

After Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan finished speaking, she saw Sun True Person let out a deep sigh.

"You don't know... the Golden River Sect has been broken, and Sect Master Pei has already died!" Sun True Person said, which shocked Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan so much that she was dizzy and could no longer distinguish between north, south, east, and west.

"Master... this matter?"

"That's right... it was done by the person you mentioned. Sister Guan Pingxuan... during this period, the sect should close the mountain gate, and restrain the disciples from going out to provoke any right and wrong... Cultivation is only about caution. Even if there are causes and effects, disputes and quarrels, one should discuss them peacefully with fellow Daoists. Never be tyrannical again! Like the Golden River Pei family, they can be tyrannical, but we are a small sect, we can't afford to provoke such a strong person! It's better to keep a distance..."

Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan was as quiet as a quail, nodding gently and elegantly: "Disciple knows!"

"Sister Guan Pingxuan..." Sun True Person sighed: "Go to the Golden Fiend Cave to close-door practice for seven years, polish your temperament, and without my letter, you are not allowed to come out!"

Sister Guan Sister Guan Pingxuan's face was pale, but she could only say: "Disciple knows!"

Yan Cai was a bit disappointed. She had seen such a cultivator who was far beyond her peers for the first time in her life. If she could befriend him, she would definitely be able to see the scenery in the eyes of those true outstanding people! She remembered when she was a little girl, looking up at the skylight, feeling that the world was that small piece of sky.

Now, she wanted to go outside the sky to take a look!

A day later, Brother Qian Chen collected all the Supreme Yin True Fiend suppressed under the main hall of the Golden River Sect, and then floated away. The Golden River Sect couldn't wait to send away this plague god, and immediately opened the mountain gate restriction, letting Brother Qian Chen ride the clouds and go far away.

Brother Qian Chen found a lake-side villa that Cui Dan had found for him, used the Heavenly Net Umbrella to close the small building, and began to prepare to refine the Ice Soul Cold Light Gang and the Supreme Yin Yuan Fiend, preparing to refine the primordial pill.

At this time, it was still more than a month away from the Dragon Boat Festival, the day of extreme Yang, when Brother Qian Chen originally planned to go deep into the Great Marsh to collect malevolent qi.

Brother Qian Chen sat cross-legged in the quiet room, and in the divine room in the mysterious pass, a group of light and black and white intersected.

The Supreme Yin Fiend qi was a refined malevolent qi formed by the Supreme Yin star inducing earth qi and feeling the Supreme Yin primordial qi, while the Ice Soul Cold Light Gang qi was an exotic primordial qi of extreme cold. The nature of Supreme Yin and extreme cold primordial qi was compatible.

The primordial pill formed by the combination of these two for condensing fiends and refining gangs had a name, called the Broad Cold Ice Soul Pill.
