Chapter 453: Jiuyou Sect Master Mu Baiyi

:

The Senior Sister arrived at Prison Peak, and the child-like Grandmaster was stunned to see two Tribulation Transcendence stage souls.

How long had it been, and here came two more Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators.

Counting the time, capturing four Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators in one year—in a few more years, he wouldn't be able to suppress Prison Peak anymore.

His strength was not weak, but he couldn't handle being in charge of so many Tribulation Transcendence stage souls; no matter who came, they wouldn't be able to suppress it.

"Actually, there were three, but one was refined into an artifact spirit by me. These three were all encountered by the little Junior Brother when he went out."

The child-like Grandmaster's face twitched. This grand-disciple of his was even more capable of causing trouble than that kid Bu Yu.

He was only at the Jin Dan stage; what would he be like in the future?

"Even after retiring, one can't have peace." The child-like Grandmaster sighed. He had retired early and thrown the mess to Bu Yu and the others because his heart was too tired.

There were many outstanding talents in that generation of the Congwendao Sect, and the nine most outstanding people were called the Nine Disciples of the Congwendao Sect, regarded as the hope of the Congwendao Sect.

Coincidentally, these nine people were all his disciples.

When he was Sect Master, he had to clean up the mess these guys made every day.

Thanks to him, he had gotten to know all the high-level figures in the cultivation world at that time.

He had cultivated desperately to the Tribulation Transcendence stage just to make it easier to teach these little brats a lesson.

Otherwise, as a master watching these little brats cause trouble, and not being able to beat them, wouldn't he be angered to death?

"If I had known, I would have swapped with the Junior Brother back then; he would have come to Prison Peak, and I would have been in the Scripture Library."

The child-like Grandmaster sighed while locking up Wu Youdao and Venerable Xuan Lei.

Lu Yang carried Venerable Wu Ji's soul, walking swaggeringly in the Congwendao Sect, looking very punchable.

Fortunately, he arrived at Bailian Peak smoothly without being beaten up.

He happened to see Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan fighting.

Qin Yanyan's body turned into a wisp of white smoke, ethereal and elusive, with talismans hidden in the smoke, capable of striking Li Haoran in the dark.

Li Haoran was not someone who would defend passively either. He took off the wig on his head, and the wig spun rapidly, blowing away the white smoke.

The father and daughter fought, evenly matched.

"Smoke and Cloud Pill?" Lu Yang recognized Qin Yanyan's Jin Dan; it was a first-grade Jin Dan.

This kind of Jin Dan could allow a cultivator to turn into smoke and clouds, having shadows but no form, which was very useful for both combat defense and escape.

It was not in vain that Li Haoran had accompanied his daughter to cultivate for so long.

"Successfully formed the core, congratulations, congratulations." Lu Yang smiled. The father and daughter also noticed Lu Yang's arrival and stopped their spell-fighting.

"Senior Brother Lu, why are you here?" Li Haoran didn't know about Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's trip to Huangzhou; he just felt that he hadn't seen the two for a month, and it was a bit uncomfortable being so quiet.

Being backlashed by karma was not an honorable thing, so Meng Jingzhou naturally had to keep it a secret.

The Congwendao Sect disciples only knew that Qiu Jinan had ambushed the Congwendao Sect; as for the cause and effect, they knew nothing.

"Oh, Old Meng and I went to Huangzhou and captured a Tribulation Transcendence stage soul. The Senior Sister told me to send it to the Fifth Elder." Lu Yang raised the chain in his hand, his tone as casual as if he had returned from a trip and brought some local specialties for the neighbors.

Even the father and daughter, who were used to Lu Yang's luck, didn't know what to say.

Were Tribulation Transcendence stage souls some kind of Chinese cabbage? He just ran into one when he went out.

"Master is refining weapons on the mountain top." Li Haoran pointed the way for Lu Yang.

"Alright, I'll be back in a moment. I happen to have something to ask you."

Li Haoran was confused.

Lu Yang arrived at the mountain top and saw the Fifth Elder thinking hard in front of a pot, his brows furrowed into a ball, looking very conflicted.

"Fifth Elder, what are you doing?"

"Isn't our Heavenly Court Sect cooperating with the Jiuyou Sect based on the automatic barbecue formation? I was thinking, can we refine a magic treasure that can automatically stir-fry dishes?"

"Did you succeed?"

"Not very successful, encountered many problems, for example, the attack power of this pot is too high, and I don't know where the problem lies. Let's not talk about this. What are you here for... a Tribulation Transcendence stage powerhouse soul?!"

The Fifth Elder came out of his daze, saw Venerable Wu Ji's soul in Lu Yang's hand, his eyes shining, more excited than seeing his wife, rubbing his hands and smiling, his mouth stretching to his ears.

"The Senior Sister asked me to give it to you, saying it can be used as an artifact spirit."

"It really is that meaning!" The Fifth Elder took the chain, as if he had obtained a treasure.

With a Tribulation Transcendence stage powerhouse soul, he was confident in refining a Tribulation-level magic treasure. It was a very precious experience, and this process would also be of great help to him in improving his weapon refining level.

The Fifth Elder threw the automatic stir-fry pot aside. With the opportunity to refine a Tribulation-level magic treasure, who would still study an automatic stir-fry pot?

Lu Yang bid farewell to the Fifth Elder, who could no longer hear anything, went down the mountain, found Li Haoran, and explained his intention.

"I met a person from the Jiuyou Sect on this trip to Huangzhou. Do you recognize him?"

Lu Yang used magic power to conjure up the man wearing a white paper hat.

"Mu Baiyi?"

"This person is called Mu Baiyi?"

"It can't be wrong, it's Mu Baiyi. In Qin Haoran's memory, he is one of the four Vice Sect Masters of the Jiuyou Sect and the youngest of the four Vice Sect Masters."

"He is now the Jiuyou Sect Master."

If Lu Yang hadn't been sure before whether Mu Baiyi was the Sect Master, after the battle in Hanshui City, judging by the combat power Mu Baiyi displayed, he was definitely the Sect Master.

"He became the Sect Master?"

Li Haoran was slightly surprised. In terms of seniority and cultivation, Mu Baiyi was not too outstanding; the probability of Shi Huagu becoming the Sect Master was greater than Mu Baiyi's.

"Could it be that he made some promise, such as building Fengdu or something?" Li Haoran pondered. Mu Baiyi didn't have an advantage in any aspect; the only possibility was that he promised to build Fengdu after becoming Sect Master, so the neutral faction would lean towards Mu Baiyi.

"That's not right either. The Jiuyou Sect is so poor, and Qin Haoran is chased by creditors every day. Where would he get the money to build Fengdu?"

Li Haoran couldn't figure it out.

"Mu Baiyi is best at clone techniques and transformation techniques; he can turn into men, women, old, and young. Mu Baiyi said that when he was young and studying in the sect, his fellow disciples didn't want to go to the classroom to study and liked to cultivate on their own, but the classroom elder often took attendance. His fellow disciples would call Mu Baiyi to answer for them. It wasn't for free; they gave Mu Baiyi spirit stones."

"It just so happened that Mu Baiyi came from a poor background and lacked spirit stones, so he agreed."

"Mu Baiyi did things seriously. In order not to be discovered, he learned clone techniques and transformation techniques. When it was time to answer, he would use these two spells."

"Then why didn't he continue to study in the sect later, but instead joined the Jiuyou Sect?" Lu Yang was curious. "Was it because the matter of answering for others was discovered by the elder and he was expelled from the sect?"

If one could study in the sect, who would come out and join the Demon Sect?

"That's not it; it's just that the sect dissolved later."

"Dissolved?" Lu Yang was even more puzzled. Why would it dissolve for no reason?

"The sect was also quite strange. Although many disciples came to the classroom to study, the attendance rate was 100%, but the final evaluation was a mess. Only Mu Baiyi had outstanding grades."

"The sect felt that it couldn't teach people and shouldn't mislead the disciples, so it dissolved."

Lu Yang: "..."
