Chapter 25: Brother Cheng in a Hurry

After a brief daze, Luo Yuan was the first to jump out and speak passionately. "Sect Leader, you are truly the epitome of humility, we cannot compare!" Junior Brother Luo, you’ve changed. Ji Linghan looked at him with a blank expression, as if she was meeting him for the first time. She still remembered the year before when Luo Yuan refused to salute a certain Elder, causing a commotion with the Sect Leader, and ultimately being punished yet refusing to bow down. He had always been known for his forthrightness and refusal to butter up in the Feixian Sect. But now... "From now on, we should learn more from the Sect Leader!" He raised his right hand, like a fervent fanatic. "Learn from the Sect Leader!" The other disciples weren’t far behind. "Good, good, good..." Brother Cheng was very pleased, pressing his hands down slightly. "I have received everyone’s opinions, and you can propose more in the future." Opinions, did we just propose any opinions? Ji Linghan felt like she was falling behind the pace of this group. "I’ve gathered everyone here today for two matters." "The first is that we need to arrange the affairs within the Sect." Though small, a sparrow has all its vital organs; even though the Feixian Sect, including him and Ah Huang, only counted up to 24 people in total, they still needed to have distinct responsibilities. Brother Cheng pondered for a long time, deciding to hand over the daily Sect affairs to Senior Sister Ji Linghan, with Luo Yuan and Yin Xiaoxue serving as assistants. After all, he not only didn’t have the time to manage them, but he also couldn’t. He had only been out of the Forbidden Land for less than three days. This decision aroused no objection from the others, who merely thought the Sect Leader was indeed generous in delegating power. "The second matter is I’m going to destroy the Profound Ice Sect and the Five Thunders Sect; the rest of you will continue guarding the house today." Even though they knew his ’power reached the sky,’ many disciples still found this too unbelievable. Annihilating sects seemed as ordinary as eating and drinking, just going out to destroy two sects. Listen, is this human talk? However, upon reflection, is there anything the Sect Leader’s ’power’ couldn’t accomplish? What’s more, those two sects had both participated in the siege of Feixian Sect, bearing deep-seated hatred; they had been thinking of revenge all the time. It was just unexpected how soon it would happen. "Wishing the Sect Leader triumphant victory!" "We will certainly train diligently, striving to catch up to the Sect Leader’s pace soon!" Jiang Cheng smiled leisurely, appreciating their spirit. But if you do catch up, what face would I have to see the departed systems beneath? This time he didn’t use the Transmission Array, after all, it could only be used once a day, better to save it. Two hours later, he appeared in front of the Profound Ice Sect’s mountain gate. Unlike last time, this time he was recognized as soon as he showed up. "Look, that’s Jiang Cheng!" "Was it him who wiped out the Extreme Moon Sect yesterday?" "Whether it was him is uncertain, but it’s certainly related to him." "He has come to the Profound Ice Sect, is he really here to avenge Feixian Sect?" "In my opinion, he must have some hidden forces backing him from other prefectures, otherwise, how would he dare be so bold?" Feiyun State not only had Qinglan Prefecture, but it also bordered Qian Ning Prefecture and Chongyan Prefecture. These two prefectures also spanned over hundreds of thousands of miles, and internally contained Great Sects no lesser than the Duanmu Family and the Red Sun Sect. Cultivators vie for resources, often using every means possible. There were naturally conflicts between the two major forces of Qinglan Prefecture and them. As for middle-class sects like Feixian Sect and Extreme Moon Sect, in Qinglan Prefecture, they could only be considered second-rate, with not much entanglement with outside forces. Currently, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus that Jiang Cheng was sent by either Qian Ning Prefecture or Chongyan Prefecture. The Extreme Moon Sect couldn’t escape a single person. Such a feat couldn’t possibly be accomplished by one person. There must be a formidable force behind him. Jiang Cheng paid no attention to their speculations as he heard them. Brother Cheng aimed to cheat and show off, and no one could block him. He was too lazy to walk up to the mountain gate, directly choosing to fly. No one dared to stop him along the way, as if entering an uninhabited domain. He flew all the way to the vast main hall square of Profound Ice Sect before he saw a massive crowd waiting for him. Doom! Doom! Doom! Resounding bell tones reverberated in the mountains, this was the rallying call when under foreign attack. All Profound Ice Sect disciples rapidly assembled. Seeing the massive display of at least eight thousand people in front, Jiang Cheng expressed that the welcoming arrangement wasn’t bad. "Jiang Cheng, you’ve indeed come!" "But don’t think about leaving now!" The Profound Ice Sect Leader Shi Canghan flicked his robe sleeves, and in an instant, a cyan light shield isolated the core region of Profound Ice Sect over hundreds of miles. The Sect Protection Array was activated. The Sect Protection Array was a sect’s foundational defense strategy. Once the array was initiated, outside invaders would either find it very difficult to penetrate. Even if they made it in, they would be attacked by the array. In such a battle, movement becomes constrained. The Profound Ice Sect’s Sect Protection Array was the Tier Five Frost Celestial Prison Array, and once activated, even the sky was obscured, sealed off by thick layers of ice. Jiang Cheng hadn’t cultivated Ice Element Techniques; the sudden drop in temperature by dozens of degrees felt a bit unfamiliar, almost making him shiver. At the same time, the main peak and surrounding dozens of peaks seemed to come to life, revealing attack Spirit Arrays. Each Spirit Array flickered with a cold glow, targeting Jiang Cheng. Once all this was successfully activated, the elders of Profound Ice Sect relaxed completely. "It’s just you alone, I would like to see how you create disturbances!" They were worried not about Jiang Cheng himself, but his backing forces. Now, the array isolated everything; even if Jiang Cheng had support, they couldn’t get in. "There is a path to paradise that you refuse to take, yet you barge into hell’s gates!" "Hahahahaha..." Shi Canghan laughed heartily towards the sky but was soon interrupted by Jiang Cheng. "Alright, alright, let’s get this started quickly." "Tell me, who is behind you..." "Enough already, hurry up and kill!" "That is offering wine..." "Not accepting the good offer and choosing the bad one? Can you come up with something fresher, I’m busy and rushing to the next one!" "You’re merely a Split Soul..." "Never mind, I’ll do it myself." In Brother Cheng’s eyes, these people were destined to die. They were slightly higher in status than wild NPCs in games; who has the time to listen to their endless prattling, of course, he kept skipping the dialogue to start the main event. Clang! The moment the Spirit Sword flew out of the sword scabbard, Shi Canghan instinctively stepped back a pace. Like the earlier Qi Gaohong, he felt Jiang Cheng’s confidence was inexplicable. Clearly just a Soul Splitting Sixth Layer, yet he seemed to have already clinched victory. Those old cunning practitioners who have cultivated for hundreds of years, of course, are cautious. Without absolute certainty, they usually won’t rashly make a move. Therefore, he chose to attack with arrays first. "Activate the array!" In an instant, the arrays long prepared were simultaneously activated with thirty Spirit Arrays on the peaks. Boom! Boom! Boom! The whole sky was covered in Ice Swords and Ice Spears, additionally, countless Ice Blades spread across the ground! All attacks were as fast as a stream of light, targeting only Jiang Cheng.
