A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 131

Chapter 129 Robbery, Assassination, Preconceived Notions

The Miaoyin Sect, a mediocre sect in the Chaotic Star Sea, is traditionally dominated

by female disciples. The sect

leader is always a female cultivator.

The sect’s overall strength is not strong.

Currently, it has a Core Formation stage sect leader, Wang, plus two Core Formation guest elders.

While seemingly unremarkable, the Miaoyin Sect possesses a unique advantage: female cultivators.

The sect is filled with beautiful female disciples,

each possessing many talents.

They are proficient in playing musical instruments and singing, and are especially skilled in the arts of the bedroom.

Every Foundation Establishment and high-level cultivator who has a Miaoyin Sect female cultivator as a Daoist partner or concubine praises the various techniques of the Miaoyin Sect women.

Over a thousand years, more and more talented and beautiful female cultivators have been sent out by the Miaoyin Sect, receiving overt or covert support and benefits in return.

This also means that ordinary forces will not provoke the Miaoyin Sect without good reason.

Then, through this network of connections, the Miaoyin Sect openly began conducting business.

Over time, it became more of a unique group—a sect and merchant alliance—comprising a large number of female cultivators and a small number of male cultivators.

The male cultivators handled the dirty and strenuous work, while

the female cultivators were responsible for being beautiful.

The Miaoyin Sect’s main gate was not currently located in Tianxing City, but on an island several hundred miles away, tens of thousands of miles from Tianxing City.

The environment and spiritual veins there were excellent, enough to support a mid-level power.

Furthermore, because it was close enough to the sacred island of Tianxing City, many major forces of both the righteous and demonic paths in the Chaotic Star Sea dared not provoke the Star Palace.

The young master of the Qingyang Sect arrived secretly half a month later.

While it was said to be unknown to others, it was not a secret in the eyes of those who were interested.

However, although many knew that this second-generation rich kid was extremely wealthy, they were even more wary of the demonic power of the Three Yang Old Demon. Furthermore, the young master of the Qingyang Sect is always accompanied by two Core Formation stage cultivators. Unless a mid-to-late Core Formation expert intervenes or multiple Core Formation cultivators cooperate, it’s impossible to deal with this wealthy young master.

Below the Core Formation stage, many cultivators aspiring to form their own cores would undoubtedly want to take advantage of the young master, but their strength is insufficient.

Above the Core Formation stage, there’s less incentive to pursue him, as the risks outweigh the benefits.

This combination of factors is the main reason why the young master has been able to swindle and deceive various female cultivators without failing in his many outings over the past decade or two.

This time,

the young master thought he had come with sincerity and could easily win the beauty’s heart.

However, Sect Master Wang was completely unmoved.

She wasn’t tempted by the small amount of benefit the young master offered.

Sect Master Wang couldn’t bring himself to sell his daughter.

Besides, his daughter was not only an exceptionally beautiful woman but also extremely intelligent. She was destined to inherit the Miaoyin Sect’s legacy and even lead the sect to new heights. How could she possibly hand her over to a womanizing playboy?

Even if the Qingyang Sect was powerful, she could simply move the Miaoyin Sect’s headquarters to Tianxing City.

With the wealth, reputation, and connections accumulated over the years, it wouldn’t be difficult.

“Young Sect Master, please return. My child is unlucky. With your looks and family background, you could easily marry a better female cultivator,”

Sect Master Wang said tactfully.

Upon hearing this, the young man’s smile faded:

“Senior Wang, why refuse my kindness? If your Miaoyin Sect were to form a marriage alliance with my Qingyang Sect, it would surely benefit the entire sect immensely…”

“No, Young Sect Master, the Miaoyin Sect has no grand ambitions; we only wish to develop peacefully,”

the equally beautiful Sect Master Wang said again, politely declining.

She was joking.

How could the Miaoyin Sect rely on either the righteous or demonic forces?

Although she was a woman, she could see the animosity between the Star Palace and the Chaotic Star Sea’s righteous and demonic paths.

Once they align themselves with the demonic Qingyang Sect, the Star Palace will be the first to annihilate them.

The Miaoyin Sect has been able to stand strong in the Star Sea precisely because of its neutrality; it has cultivated relationships with neutral forces by playing both sides.

If they were to abandon neutrality and instead rely on the Qingyang Sect, it would mean abandoning years of hard work and effort, abandoning the vast network of relationships they had built, and abandoning the Star Palace’s favor and protection to some extent.

At that point, the Miaoyin Sect would be devoured by the Qingyang Sect, leaving not even bones behind, and

the sect leader would have no one to complain to. The young sect leader’s plan was certainly shrewd.

However, she wasn’t stupid.

Would she be blinded by such paltry promises?

“Heh, then there’s nothing we can do…”

the young sect leader murmured.

What was there to do?

Sect Leader Wang was puzzled.

Beside her, the veiled girl sensed the danger first and immediately warned,

“Mother, be careful!”

The girl even reached out to pull her mother back.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Beside the young sect leader, two Core Formation cultivators, Fei Wu and Fei Cai, who were acting as guards, attacked Sect Leader Wang, one targeting him while the other grabbed the girl in purple palace attire. This was Sect Leader Wang’s daughter, Wang Ning,

the future Purple Spirit Fairy.

The speed of their attacks, so close to Core Formation, was astounding,

especially considering they were both mid-Core Formation cultivators.

Coupled with the suddenness of the attack and Sect Leader Wang’s momentary slow reaction, he could only defend himself and couldn’t spare any attention for his daughter.

Thus,

in a single exchange,

one was sent flying, and the other captured.

“You actually dared to forcibly seize her?”

“You, the young sect leader of Qingyang Sect, have no shame?”

Sect Leader Wang, who had been sent flying, quickly leaped up, flying out of the ruins, and angrily rebuked them.

The young sect leader, who was being carried away from the Miaoyin Sect by a Core Formation subordinate, abandoned his smile and gave a cold laugh:

“The strong prey on the weak, it’s nothing more than that. Even if I snatched your daughter, what can you do to me? Hmph.”

In response to the young sect leader were several pillars of light shooting into the sky and a rapidly rising array light screen.

“Two elders, please stop them immediately and take back Ning’er.”

” Sect Master Wang transmitted his voice, “

the two guest elders of the Miaoyin Sect, who had witnessed everything, exchanged glances before making their move.

However, before their attacks could even reach the young sect master and his companions, the young sect master spoke up, warning them:

“You two are merely guest elders of the Miaoyin Sect, not dogs of a bunch of lowly servants. If you accidentally injure me, can you bear the consequences? Do you want to be wanted and retaliated against by my Qingyang Sect?” He spoke with

an air of complete confidence.

Upon hearing this, the two Core Formation stage guest elders, whom Sect Master Wang had hired at considerable expense, immediately stopped their attack.

What he said made perfect sense…

They were just guest elders, not the core members of the Miaoyin Sect. If they

really got involved with the Qingyang Sect, they would lose their heads.

It was clearly not worth risking their lives for the Miaoyin Sect for those meager guest elder resources.

“Two elders…”

Sect Master Wang was anxious.

He quickened his movements, activating the mountain gate’s grand formation to stop them.

At the same time, he unleashed his natal magic weapon at the young master of the Qingyang Sect.

Seeing this, Fei Cai, a Core Formation stage cultivator, immediately summoned his own magic weapon to block the attack.

In the midst of the magic weapon entanglement, he missed his last chance to escape the sect’s grand formation.

But he didn’t care.

What could these female cultivators from the Miaoyin Sect do to a mid-Core Formation cultivator like him?

Did they really dare to do anything to him?

“Young Master, you go first, I’ll play with the sect master and the others,”

Fei Cai grinned.

“Alright,”

the young master of the Qingyang Sect replied without turning his head.

He didn’t think much of it.

After the three flew thirty miles and met up with the Qingyang Sect’s Foundation Establishment stage guards outside the island, the young master picked up Wang Ning like a chick and tossed her into his carriage.

It was a mount pulled by a high-level spirit bird:

“You think you can escape my grasp? No woman I want will ever fly away, hahaha…”

The young girl’s face, hidden beneath her veil, grew increasingly tense.

She was anxious about her mother and the situation at the Miaoyin Sect, and also about her own fate.

“Young Master, this place isn’t far from the Star Palace; we shouldn’t linger. You take your men and leave first. I’ll catch up with the brothers immediately.”

Fei Wu and Fei Cai, brothers, had always been inseparable.

He was somewhat worried about his younger brother.

“No, you can’t leave my side. This place is right at the foot of the Star Palace, far different from the seas where the Twenty-Four Star Islands are located.”

Although the young sect leader didn’t notice the fleeting glint in Fei Wu’s eyes, he was not lacking in security awareness.

As the young master of a sect, he was very clear about his position.

“Alright, Uncle Fei, Second Uncle Fei will definitely be fine. The Miaoyin Sect only has one Core Formation cultivator, Sect Master Wang, and he’s only at the early stage of Core Formation. How could he possibly threaten Second Uncle Fei? As for those two Core Formation guest elders, after my warning, they definitely wouldn’t dare to interfere. Therefore, the Miaoyin Sect can only rely on its mountain gate formation and a group of Foundation Establishment disciples to deal with Second Uncle Fei. One early Foundation Establishment disciple and a bunch of arrogant Foundation Establishment disciples, who wouldn’t dare to risk their lives to offend my Qingyang Sect, how could they possibly be a match for Second Uncle Fei?”

The young sect master spoke

eloquently and logically.

This made it difficult for Fei Wu to speak again and leave.

And so,

Fei Wu was trapped within the mountain gate’s grand formation by the Miaoyin Sect cultivators.

However, this also tied down the Miaoyin Sect members.

He could only watch helplessly as the two from the Qingyang Sect calmly walked away with the powerless sect leader’s daughter.

Once the young sect leader and the beauty were some distance from the Miaoyin Sect’s mountain gate, and feeling everything was settled, he excitedly removed the girl’s veil, revealing a flawless, breathtakingly beautiful face:

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful…”

Upon seeing this beauty, the young sect leader repeatedly exclaimed in admiration, his heart pounding. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

“Indeed, good girls in this world must be won over with deception and even force, hahaha…”

the young sect leader chuckled.

At this moment, he was even more certain of his past actions.

If he had been as pedantic as other cultivators, lowering himself to please those female cultivators, he would certainly not have won this woman.

“Shameless,”

Wang Ning muttered in shame and indignation.

…

On the mount pulled by a high-level spirit beast, the young sect leader narrowed his eyes, wantonly appraising the girl before him, who was still a beauty in the making.

In broad daylight, he didn’t intend to do anything more outrageous, but he could still collect some of the benefits he hadn’t been able to get during their last meeting.

He gently lifted the beauty’s fair chin with his right index finger, fixing his gaze on her pink and alluring lips.

“What a budding beauty…”

“If I gave you a few more years, wouldn’t you become one of the most beautiful women in this chaotic star sea?”

“Miss Wang Ning, don’t worry, in the future, this young master will certainly not mistreat you.”

Such a peerless beauty, capable of captivating a nation, would be a waste to use as a furnace.

“What do you want to do?”

The girl was terrified, encountering such a crisis for the first time, and truly didn’t know what to do.

Subconsciously, she used the same rhetoric she’d used in the past two years:

“Young Sect Master, if you want my heart, you can let me acknowledge you and fall in love with you first. But if you treat me roughly, I will never forgive you in this lifetime, and at most you’ll only get my body.”

In the past, this rhetoric always worked.

Many high-ranking cultivators who cared about their reputation wouldn’t make things difficult for her. They

might even look at her with more respect because of it.

However ,

this time:

“Heh, put away your act. This young master won’t be led by the nose by your little tricks.”

He wasn’t one of those novice men who hadn’t been with many women.

He wasn’t one of those “good guys” who always thought of winning a woman’s heart first, then conquering her body.

He only remembered one simple and easy-to-understand principle: what you eat is what you own.

If Han Li could read the young sect master’s thoughts, he would definitely consider him a kindred spirit in this regard.

After all,

Wen Tianren was the best negative example.

He just liked to pretend, and he just didn’t like to have preconceived notions.

As a result,

he benefited the original owner of this body.

“Miss Wang Ning, you have something on your lips, let me remove it for you…”

The young sect leader was impatient, wanting to take advantage of the situation first.

But at that very moment, a wave surged in the sea, quickly and briefly.

Fei Wu seemed to sense something, looking down at the undulating sea a thousand feet below, scanning the area with his divine sense, but finding nothing. Hundreds of feet below the surface, there were no traces of demonic beasts or cultivators.

He thought it was his imagination, that it was just a splash from a sea fish.

But the next moment, on the mount of a level-five spirit bird, the young sect leader, who was about to devour someone, opened his mouth, his face filled with horror and disbelief.

A tiny blood hole had appeared between his brows.

“How…could this be?”

The young sect leader was extremely unwilling.

Why hadn’t his warning artifact given any warning?

And why hadn’t his protective treasure spontaneously protected him?

Furthermore, who wanted to kill him?

Too many questions bewildered him, yet the raging spiritual energy was wreaking havoc within him, ravaging his life force and causing his life to wither away in an instant. It didn’t give him even a second longer to remain in this world.

It was fast, precise, vicious, ruthless, and silent.

Before dying, he didn’t even have time to utter a scream.

Also stunned was the girl whose veil had been removed from concealing her stunning beauty.

“Hmm? Young Master?”

Fei Wu sensed something amiss and abruptly turned his head, immediately witnessing this horrifying scene. His

eyes widened in horror.

“Young…Young Master…?”

The other Foundation Establishment guards also noticed, their expressions changing drastically.

Their voices trembled.

Their lips quivered.

This…this…

was they attacked?

“How dare you! Who is it? Show yourself!”

Fei Wu roared, his face grim.

A powerful Core Formation aura spread out, his divine sense meticulously scanning every inch of the surroundings.

The young sect leader was assassinated right before his eyes; he was clearly guilty of negligence in protecting him. If he returned to the Qingyang Sect with this fault, he was doomed.

‘Damn it, damn it!’

Even if he had received prior instructions from some powerful figures that it would be best if the young sect leader died outside, preferably on a woman’s belly, as long as it wasn’t due to his negligence, everything would be fine.

But now, it was his fault for failing to protect him.

This fault was absolutely enough for the Three Yang Ancestor to kill him ten times over and then extract his soul and refine his spirit.

He knew all too well the young sect leader’s position in that ancestor’s heart; if that ancestor learned that his beloved son had died because of his negligence, he would definitely be furious with him! He wouldn’t let him go.

What to do?

That’s it, catch the assassin to lessen the fault. Or shift the blame, yes, shift the blame, perhaps that could save his life?

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the still-dazed girl:

“Witch, you must have harmed the young master! Die!”

Death is the only way to prevent any evidence.

Fei, a Core Formation cultivator, spoke loudly, his voice reaching the ears of all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingyang Sect present.

Everyone snapped out of their daze. Their eyes

flashed with murderous intent as they looked at the girl.

Wang Ning: “…”

What had she done to deserve this?

Even if she had no other choice, did she really need to publicly persecute the young master of the Qingyang Sect when she had no other option?

Truly, she was being framed.

But the murderous intent and the overwhelming pressure rendered this mere Foundation Establishment cultivator speechless.

For a moment, she was powerless to refute him.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Level 5 flying beast moved, helping Wang Ning deflect the fatal blow.

“Beast!”

A beast indeed!

Fei Wu cursed in frustration.

A beast is a beast, more trouble than it’s worth.

But the Level 5 flying beast, after being trained, remained stubbornly protective of the person inside the carriage.

Thus, Wang Ning, terrified and feeling utterly hopeless, ironically escaped the first wave of attacks. At least on the carriage, she was temporarily safe.

It was at this moment that

, from beneath the seabed silt, the tip of a section of the Qiankun Pagoda emerged, followed by a sudden burst of water hundreds of feet high.

The pagoda, formed from the Qiankun Pagoda talisman, broke through the water.

An invisible, intangible suppressive force rapidly spread to a radius of several miles.

The surrounding space seemed to freeze.

All cultivators and objects in that area unconsciously sank, their movements slowing. The twenty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators were even more unable to move.

Beneath the seabed silt, two figures who had previously used the Nameless Concealment Technique quietly appeared.

It was Han Li and Sha Hun.

“An opportunity!”

“We can’t let you take the young sect leader’s storage bag.”

Taking advantage of the moment when the Qingyang Sect’s Core Formation cultivator was hindered and delayed by the Level 5 spirit bird, and was also being suppressed by the Qiankun Tower’s talisman-formed pagoda, the two decisively controlled the invisible needles to attack again.

In that instant, Fei Wu felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

He wanted to dodge, and also wanted to summon another defensive magic weapon to resist.

But under the suppression of the Qiankun Tower, his speed was greatly reduced. Then, before he could evade or defend, he witnessed a faintly visible invisible needle in the void.

He witnessed the invisible needle pierce through his brow.
