Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 875 - 334: Renowned Across the World After One Battle (Part 2)

"It’s understandable, Elder Lei, please rest and recuperate; I’ll take care of things here." Elder Miaokong knew he intended to ally with other Celestial Masters to sort out the clues left within the Yellow Sky Altar, thereby searching for the remaining sub-altars of the Yellow Sky Sect.Seems like not only the Mortal Tao Country, but even the Huangtian Path must announce its end today... Elder Miaokong thought to himself.

Lei Jun was simultaneously contacting the Ancestral Courtyard of the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain while reaching out to Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang to inquire about their situations.

......

The Yellow Sky Altar is located in the snow mountains of Western Sichuan.

Right there in the land of Bashu, another shocking battle is concurrently underway.

Backed by the Great Tang Dynasty, the Mount Shu Sect warred again against the Inner Mount Shu.

Both sides refrained from battling at the sect’s summit of Mount Shu Sect.

Having lost the Taiyi Primordial Tower and Qingxiao Manor, the current Mountain Defense Array at the Summit is not stable.

Mount Shu Sect with no geographical advantage, simply descended south and combined forces with the Great Tang Dynasty’s reinforcements, facing the Inner Mount Shu coming from Nanzhao, engaging in fierce duels in the Shunan region.

Lin Yuwei, the current clan leader of the Nanzong Lin Clan, participated with a contingent of the Great Tang Divine Strategy Army.

He is a Great Scholar of the Confucian Divine Archery Lineage, at the Eighth Heavenly Layer realm, hence he did not fight at the forefront, facing the sharp edge of Inner Mount Shu’s experts, but rather maneuvered on the outskirts, using his piercing arrows to slay opponents.

Even though being aboard the Tang Imperial Court’s figurative big ship, Lin Yuwei remained relatively free at the outskirts, yet he did not slack off.

It’s not just the eyes from the Tang Imperial Court who were observing him.

The Fang Clan experts, who came alongside Fang Jingsheng, the Clan Chief of the Jingxiang Fang Clan, were also paying close attention to him.

Lin Yuwei was adopting a long-range sniping approach; even if he couldn’t directly harm opponents, he could at least divert their attention.

Conversely, he was continuously changing his position.

Facing the experts of the Taoist Artifact Refining Sect, among whom were those adept at remote attacks with Taoist Flying Swords.

Considering his own safety, Lin Yuwei dared not stay in one place for too long.

Similar were other Great Scholars from the Divine Archery Lineage of both the Great Tang Divine Strategy Army and the Jingxiang Fang Clan.

During the shootout, sporadic or dense fierce beams occasionally swept across the sky over Bashu’s domain, crisscrossing freely.

As Lin Yuwei and the others maneuvered back and forth, they sometimes approached the West.

Suddenly, from a far-off direction towards the Northwest, there was a sudden, violent earthquake.

Alert, Lin Yuwei turned back to look, noticing in the depths of the snowy ridges of Western Sichuan, aside from the earthquake-like tremors, there was a faint emergence of radiance.

As a Great Scholar with insight within the Eighth Heavenly Layer Expansion Realm of the Divine Archery Lineage, his perception and analytical skills were maximized.

Due to the vast distance, the details were still unclear to him there.

Yet purple lightning and green fire intertwined, seemingly rising and erupting vividly within the snow mountains of Western Sichuan.

Although others might hesitate to confirm due to the distance obscuring the specifics.

But Lin Yuwei hailed from the Nanzong Lin Clan.

In years past, the Nanzong Jiangzhou Lin Clan had battled with Xinzhou’s Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion for countless years, both sides were too familiar with each other.

One glance was all it took for Lin Yuwei to confirm it was the Dragon-Tiger Strike from the Celestial Master Mansion!

He had heard about the Celestial Master’s Mansion regaining the Celestial Master Seal.

The reappearance of the Dragon-Tiger Strike with Yin Thunder Dragon and Yang Thunder Dragon in the world was credible.

But to perceive the faint shape of dragons and tigers from such a distance, intertwined in purple and green, indicated that the Yang Thunder Dragon and Yin Fire Tiger soaring between the snow mountains of Western Sichuan were exceptionally potent.

Couldn’t be a collaboration between two Seventh Heavenly Layer realm cultivators from the Celestial Master Mansion... Lin Yuwei was certain.

If it were a partnership by cultivators within the Eighth Heavenly Layer realm of the Celestial Master Mansion, who currently was there?

And why were they appearing there?

Could it be Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang... or even Lei Jun?

Speculation kept churning within Lin Yuwei’s mind.

Given that a battle with Inner Mount Shu cultivators persist, he had to suppress his inklings of doubt momentarily, focusing on his immediate affairs.

Yet later, from the Eastern horizon, suddenly splendid golden light rose, instantly breaking through the sky, arriving at the battlefield where Great Tang cultivators and Inner Mount Shu cultivators dueled.

Such distinctive characteristics didn’t require much scrutiny for Lin Yuwei and other Great Tang cultivators to know it was the current Celestial Master, Tang Xiaotang.

But suddenly, Lin Yuwei’s heart stirred:

That direction...

His intuition compelled him to glance towards the Northwest.

If Tang Xiaotang meant to come here, she wasn’t likely to take a detour eastward after departing the snow mountains of Western Sichuan.

She was making a bold, unabashed arrival, openly revealing her movements.

Then, it couldn’t have been her at the snow mountains of Western Sichuan?

Was it Xu Yuanzhen and Lei Jun instead?

Or rather, such formidable Dragon-Tiger Strike wasn’t a collaborative exhibition between two individuals, rather a single person?

Xu Yuanzhen perhaps?

Lin Yuwei thought it naturally.

Yet suddenly, a deeper suspicion emerged within him:

Or if not Xu Yuanzhen, could it be...

As soon as the thought appeared, Lin Yuwei initially felt it unlikely.

But in a surge of intuition, once the thought sprang forth, it grew irrepressibly strong, leaving Lin Yuwei bewildered and then horrified.

He sharply turned his head again, looking toward the direction of Western Sichuan’s snow mountains.

......

Lin Yuwei and others who spotted clues endlessly conjectured.

Just escaped from the snow mountains of Western Sichuan, Kang Ming and Chen Ziyang glanced back at the trembling mountains, witnessing the convergence and ascent of the Yang Thunder Dragon and Yin Fire Tiger’s radiance and felt absolutely certain—it was the handiwork of one person.

The Dragon-Tiger Strike, revived by a single hand.
