There was this third-tier sect called the Sentry Sect. Just because the pronunciation of their sect name was the slightly close to City Sect, more than a dozen Core Formation Realm cultivators forced their way in for an investigation. The sect was too small for such trouble, so it was demolished immediately.
A second-tier sect which had more than a dozen Core Formation Realm cultivators was also targeted by the Sky Mountain Sect only because this sect focused mainly on sword techniques. A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator visited the sect and searched through all of the cultivators; even the restricted areas of the sect were destroyed. Although that sect had escaped the fate of being annihilated, it was greatly undermined; the elders who guarded the restricted areas were all severely injured.
Some sects on Fifth Heaven which were affiliated with the Sky Mountain Sect had been secretly spreading the words; they said that the Sky Mountain Order was put out directly by that Grand Uncle-Master who was a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and hadn’t involved himself in any sect affairs for the past few hundred years!
However, no one knew the reason behind it.
584 Punish with the Sect Rules!
After roaming around the many sects on Fifth Heaven, Zhao Yanzi made Little White slow down so that she could collect pretty flowers.
She was fierce in front of Hao Ren, but she was a young girl who loved pretty little things. Seeing the bright flowers all over the hills, she was cheerful and made a flower wreath to put on Little White’s head.
Little White accepted the colorful flower wreath helplessly; it wanted to dump it but was afraid that Zhao Yanzi’s feeling would be hurt.
“Which Uncle-Master’s disciple are you? Why are you frolicking here?” Suddenly, a loud shout sounded in the sky.
Zhao Yanzi looked up and saw a black-faced, mid-aged man staring at her sternly while sitting on a snow lion.
“What?!” Zhao Yanzi froze for a moment before displeasure rose in her. She thought, “There is no sect around this hill; it’s not your business that I collect flowers here!”
“Show me your token!” The black-faced man who sat on his snow lion reached out his hand.
Zhao Yanzi was even more confused. Since this cultivator’s strength was not low, she climbed onto Little White’s back, ready to flee.
Seeing her dumb reaction, the cultivator was angrier, and he shouted, “Which Uncle-Master’s disciple are you? Instead of scouting for information, you are here playing!”
Coming directly from her home, Zhao Yanzi was in her simple pink pajamas, quite different from the black-faced cultivator’s white Taoist robe.
“If you still refuse to answer, I’ll take you back and punish you according to our sect rules!” staring at Zhao Yanzi, the black-faced cultivator yelled.
Sky Mountain Sect had issued Sky Mountain Order, inviting other sects to try and find City Sect on Fifth Heaven, and it brought panic to all the cultivators on Fifth Heaven.
Sky Mountain Sect had sent over 1,000 cultivators to do a thorough search on Fifth Heaven, which explained why many Sky Mountain Sect cultivators were here. Since many Sky Mountain Sect cultivators didn’t know each other, they were required to report the names of their masters or show their sect tokens to each other when they met.
As a disciple of the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect, the black-faced cultivator had reached top-tier Core Formation Realm while his snow lion had reached level 4. Seeing Zhao Yanzi with a snow lion, he thought she was one of the disciples of Sky Mountain Sect.
Ordered by the Grand Uncle-Master of the sect, this investigation mission was very urgent, but they hadn’t found any useful clues yet.
That was why this cultivator was angry when he saw Zhao Yanzi playing here.
Out of the 1,000 disciples of Sky Mountain Sect who were sent to Fifth Heaven, only the ones with high realms and well-liked by elders were given snow lions.
The disciples with high realms were the main force and team leaders, and that was why they had their own snow lions. The favorite disciples of the elders took this opportunity to experience Fifth Heaven, and they were given snow lions as a measure of protection.
However, even the most favored disciples had to pretend to be investigating, and none of them should dare to play around with their snow lions!
The black-faced cultivator had a ranking close to an elder, and he was sure that this young cultivator would admit her mistake and beg for forgiveness after he threatened her with sect rules!
Just when he thought that Zhao Yanzi would report her name and her master obediently before admitting her mistake, Zhao Yanzi fled on Little White!
The black-faced cultivator was astonished and then got furious at this blatant insult.
Since the First Elder was charging at mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm, his favorite disciple, which was this black-faced cultivator, was responsible for managing the affairs of the sect, so most disciples knew him.
However, this young disciple who was only on the Foundation Establishment Realm dared to run from him!
Boom!
The black-faced cultivator chased after Zhao Yanzi on his own level 4 snow lion.
Since the First Elder was responsible for the sect rules and penalties, this black-faced disciple had been helping him over the past few years. The disciples in the sect, except newbies who didn’t know him, were all afraid of him!
Thinking that Zhao Yanzi was a favorite disciple of an elder since she had a snow lion with her, he only planned to give her a lecture and thus was astonished when she dared to escape from him!
Feeling insulted, the black-faced cultivator lifted his black sword dharma treasure.
Swoosh! Little White’s paws released four colorful lights and flew away with the traveling speed of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
The level 4 snow lion just couldn’t catch up with the level 3 snow lion!
“Shoot!”
Astonished, the black-faced cultivator tossed out his dharma treasure immediately.
If more time passed, Zhao Yanzi and Little White would be beyond his attack range!
The black sword turned into a black light, shooting toward Zhao Yanzi.
Sitting on Little White’s back, Zhao Yanzi saw an object flying toward her. Without thinking, she drew out the Purple Green Treasure Sword and used Tianxuan Sword Technique.
Dang!
Despite its weakened momentum, the black sword shook Zhao Yanzi’s wrists so much that they turned numb as if they were going to break.
If not for the excellent material of the Purple Green Treasure Sword and the power of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, Zhao Yanzi would have been sent flying.
The moment the black-faced cultivator threw out his black sword, he regretted his action. He thought, “After all, this girl is only at mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm, and I’m at top-tier Core Formation Realm. I might injure her! If she is the daughter or the favorite disciple of an elder, and I injured her severely, I will be in great trouble despite my identity as the favorite disciple of the First Elder.”
Feeling anxious, this black-faced cultivator tried to withdraw the black sword, but the black sword which had a connection with his spiritual senses was damaged severely.
Swoosh! After a slight pause, Little White disappeared into the distance with pretty and bright lights under its feet.
When the black sword returned, the black-faced cultivator checked it carefully and found a small chip in the blade!
Everything showed that something was wrong.
After a moment of consideration, he took out a white jade token and injected his nature essence into it before tossing it up high into the sky.
The white jade token released dozens of dazzling white lights which shot out in all directions.
He was the team leader of the group who was responsible for searching this area, and the other team leaders with white jade tokens would receive his message, which was, “All disciples must immediately come over and surround the area near Song
liang Mountain and capture a red-clothed female cultivator who has a level 3 snow lion!”
585 Don’t Run!
Carrying Zhao Yanzi, Little White flew for thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. Zhao Yanzi put away the Purple Green Treasure Sword and rubbed her wrists, feeling angry and lucky at the same time.
The moment she saw the black-faced man, she felt his extraordinary presence and knew that she couldn’t fight him by force.
She didn’t have time to react when he appeared suddenly. If he attacked at once, Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t be able to block it.
At this thought, Zhao Yanzi felt lucky that the black-faced man had babbled for a while. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the time to climb onto Little White’s back and flee.
In the past, she had been able to run around the Fifth Heaven since no one she encountered was powerful. After this incident, she finally understood the dangers in the cultivation world.
Thinking back to her encounter with Duan Yao who launched killing attacks against her, she knew she would have died without Hao Ren’s protection.
“Little White, let’s head back now!” The more she thought about it, the more worried she got. The Fifth Heaven looked peaceful, but she felt unsafe without Hao Ren’s company.
“Ruff…” Little White roared and increased its speed to its limit.
In the mortal world, it had to pretend to be a small white puppy most of the time to get girls’ attention, and it had little chance to change forms. However, on Fifth Heaven, it could roar at its will in its snow lion form.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Five to six white lights flew toward Zhao Yanzi and Little White swiftly.
After sensing their presences, Zhao Yanzi knew that they were all Core Formation Realm cultivators!
“Little White, move around them!” Zhao Yanzi yelled with her arms around Little White’s neck.
Little White could feel the unusual presences of the incoming cultivators without Zhao Yanzi’s instruction. Drawing a colorful arc in the sky, it flew toward the southwest direction.
Seeming to be following Zhao Yanzi, the white lights chased after them closely.
Chi! Chi… The cultivators who were chasing after Zhao Yanzi released three to four green lights which looked like signals.
Seeing this, Zhao Yanzi tensed up, knowing that she was in trouble.
“Is it a crime to pick wildflowers?” Frowning in confusion, Zhao Yanzi felt more cultivators coming to her from all directions.
“Little White, lose them!” she shouted.
As a level 3 demon beast, Little White’s spiritual senses were no less than Zhao Yanzi’s. It also sensed that many cultivators and even some snow lions were closing on them.
Boom!
Little White had been flying horizontally in the sky, but it suddenly descended.
Fifth Heaven was full of mountains and dense forests.
The cultivators who were trying to surround Little White were caught off guard when their target suddenly dropped down.
Little White flew out from under them and broke out from the siege.
Shua! Shua… All kinds of swords shot at Little White.
Dozens of longswords flew past Zhao Yanzi and Little White, bringing cold sweat all over their bodies.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Like a high-performance fighter jet, Little White flew in the low sky around the mountains.
Zhao Yanzi held onto Little White tighter, afraid to be swung out.
Shua! Shua… A dozen of swords chased after Little White.
These cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect realized that Little White had flown from under their feet and immediately chased after it while sending out their swords.
It took some time for them to withdraw their swords, which was why they didn’t release their swords in most battles. However, they were fighting as a group and could shoot out their swords in turns like groups of archers.
If they flew in the high sky, they could be covered by mist, and the visibility would be low.
However, the visibility in the low sky was higher, and Zhao Yanzi who was in her pink pajamas and on Little White was very distinct.
Cultivators were chasing after them in the high sky while more cultivators tried to block them in the front!
From both sides, other cultivators were coming toward them as well!
Zhao Yanzi had never encountered such a situation, and she got nervous.
At this moment, Little White was calmer than her. Without hesitation, it shot into a dense forest full of big, ancient trees.
The cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who were chasing after Zhao Yanzi saw Little White dashing into the forest and released swords toward the moving white shadow one after another.
Seeing the big trees crashing toward them, Zhao Yanzi almost screamed, but Little White dodged them deftly while it moved in the forest.
Boom! Boom…
The powerful swords cut the ancient trees into pieces while they chased after Zhao Yanzi and Little White.
If not for Little White’s deft movements and great speed, they would have been pierced by the swords!
In this place, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t use her cell phone to call for help, and she only hoped that Little White could outrun these people who were after her!
Little White suddenly dashed out of the forest that was on the peak of a mountain, and the mountain top they were on was immediately shattered to pieces!
“Little White, hold on!”
Under such fierce attack, Zhao Yanzi put up a simple energy sphere, afraid that the huge Little White would be wounded.
Familiar with Little White’s personality, she knew it would block swords with its body if it couldn’t dodge them! Despite its laziness, Little White always protected the people around it in critical moments!
All kinds of swords formed a net, making it hard for Little White to use its great speed.
“Useless! You can’t even block a level 3 snow lion!”
A thunderous shout resonated in the high sky while the aura of a low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator came from the sky.
Encountering this powerful suppression, even Little White, a level 3 demob beast, felt weak and was forced to slow down.
“Roar! Roar!” Suddenly, Little White’s paws burst into colorful flames again.
“Huh?”
The voice in the high sky showed a trace of surprise.
“Build an array formation!” The black-faced cultivator who had encountered Zhao Yanzi earlier finally caught up on his level 4 snow lion and called out in anger.
Swoosh… Hundreds of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect released waves of green light in the high sky, forming a hexagonal array formation and engulfing Little White!
586 Meeting Duan Yao Again
The green lights were like a shrinking copper bell, crashing toward Little White and Zhao Yanzi.
Dong!
Little White rushed over and was knocked back by an invisible wall with clanging, metal-colliding noise.
Hundreds of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect stood in their precise positions in the sky, making the array formation even more powerful.
“Reckless brat, surrender!” The black-faced cultivator sad on his level 4 snow lion and yelled with anger as he held a black sword in his hand.
Now, he was confident that this girl was not a part of Sky Mountain Sect. Although he didn’t know where she got the level 3 snow lion, she was in trouble after hundreds of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect chased after her.
The array formation built in the sky was called Ziwei Beast Trap Array. It was not the most powerful array formation but could be built with some cultivators without using dharma treasures.
The cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect would use this array formation to capture demon beasts below level 6, so it was quite effective in trapping Little White.
Sky Mountain Sect excelled in raising spirit beasts, making elixir pills, and creating array formations, which explained why it had
a stable position on Sixth Heaven. The sect had nine elders in the Nascent Soul Realm, over 200 Core Formation Realm cultivators, and countless Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
The so-called first-tier sects on Fifth Heaven only had a dozen or so Core Formation Realm cultivators at the most. However, there were already dozens of Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect chasing after Zhao Yanzi and Little White, which showed the great power of Sky Mountain Sect!
“Little girl, report your sect name and master, and you may live!” Controlling the shrinking array formation, the black-faced cultivator called out to Zhao Yanzi.
With Zhao Yanzi in his control, he could kill her at any time. However, despite his fury, he didn’t dare to act rashly since she had a level 3 snow lion, which showed that she might have some connections with Sky Mountain Sect.
It was no problem to lock her down and bring her back to Sky Mountain Sect for interrogation.
All the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect on and above the Core Formation Realm were familiar with the Ziwei Beast Trap Array and had never failed to trap demon beasts that were weaker than level 6.
“Yuck!” Zhao Yanzi glared at him and said, “There are so many of you dealing with me. If you dare, come and fight me one to one!”
“Hahahaha!” The black-faced cultivator laughed, “You won’t trick us. I will capture you after I close the array formation.”
Zhao Yanzi began to sweat. In fact, she was just trying to act brave. After all, how could she come up with any tricks at such a moment?
“Be quick and tell us your sect and master. Otherwise, I’ll show no mercy to you!” The black-faced cultivator put on his fierce look and yelled.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth. Seeing that Little White was still trying to break out despite the wounds all over its body, she hugged it carefully, feeling terrifying since she felt like she dragged it into this situation.
In this desperate situation, the first person she thought of was Hao Ren instead of her parents.
“Little White, don’t waste your energy.” Zhao Yanzi rubbed Little White’s head and raised her head suddenly. She shouted, “It’s me who caused the trouble. Let Little White go!”
