Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 531 - 529: Chaos in the Hun State

Half a day later.

The great battle between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower neared its end.

Just then, several Golden Core disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, led by a Golden Core Mid-stage Elder, appeared outside the Cave Mansion.

"Senior Ning, I heard that Ji Ruyue from Qingfu Square is hiding inside your Cave Mansion. Although Ji Ruyue has an old relationship with you, it is common knowledge that Qingfu Square belongs to Qiyun Tower. As Ji Ruyue is a high-ranking member of the Qiyun Tower and the master of Qingfu Square, we ask you to hand her over to avoid making things difficult for us."

"Oh?"

The voice of Ning Daoran transmitted, "Guild Leader Ji is my old friend’s disciple and has a deep relationship with me. I have promised to protect her, and I hope the members of the Beast Taming Sect can give me some face and not take things too far!"

"Elder Fire Element True Monarch, if you choose to act like this... well, we will consult with the Supreme Elder before proceeding..."

Soon after, the group returned.

"Senior Ning, the Supreme Elder insisted that no one is exempt. We must hand over Guild Leader Ji. She has been managing things for Qiyun Tower for many years and has snatched business from our Beast Taming Sect multiple times. She must be handed over for public trial!"

"Get lost!"

Ning Daoran casually retorted.

"If that’s the case, don’t blame us for being impolite!"

The Elder waved his hand and said sternly, "Attack the Cave Mansion, immediately!"

"Yes, Elder!"

A group of Beast Taming Sect disciples released their spiritual beasts and treasures, attacking from all directions.

"Hummmmmm~~~"

Amid the loud noise, the treasures and the attacking methods of the spiritual beasts were all nullified by a formation outside the Cave Mansion, creating merely some ripples on the water surface but failing to breach the Cave Mansion at all.

"Huh?"

The Elder’s brows furrowed tightly. "A Fourth-order Lower Grade Formation?"

Ning Daoran had set up a Fourth-order Lower Grade Kunpeng Echo Array outside, but the essence of this formation was actually the Third-tier Middle-grade White Feather Flowing Sound Array, and even the experienced Elder couldn’t figure out the trick.

"Summon more people, attack together!"

The Elder shouted angrily: "With the Supreme Elder in our formation, even if the Fire Element True Monarch comes out, so what?!"

"Yes!"

Quickly, hundreds of Beast Taming Sect disciples gathered outside the Cave Mansion, launching their attacks.

...

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Ning Daoran was polishing the spear tip of the Big Green Dragon, preparing to unleash slaughter.

He had planned to throw Ji Ning into the Spirit Garden Grotto Heaven, and then come out to fight alongside Big Stupid Deer with their dual Nascent Souls. How could the Beast Taming Sect possibly handle him?

The foundation of the Beast Taming Sect was merely a Primordial Chaos Early Stage Lu Yunzhou, plus a Fourth-order Early Stage Rock Dragon.

As for Lu Yunzhou, Ning Daoran was confident he could kill him within fifty moves.

Regarding the Rock Dragon, Big Stupid Deer, being a Nine-colored Deer possessing the Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Ability and a complete Shape-shifting Technique, could probably restrain the Rock Dragon within ten moves!

More importantly, Lu Yunzhou, as a Martial Artist with Dual Cultivation of magic and body but only at the Foundation Establishment stage spiritually, had his Life Span only for a few more decades. Big Stupid Deer could kill him in a single Reincarnation Life and Death move!

It was too easy, so easy that Ning Daoran was almost too lazy to act.

The only concern was actually Lu Wenyao. Lu Wenyao had always had a good attitude towards Ning Daoran and was very respectful, but she was a daddy’s girl and did not dare to defy Lu Yunzhou.

"Old Lu!"

"Roar~~~"

"Let’s go, let’s carve a piece of heaven and earth!"

"Whoosh!"

Ning Daoran carried the Big Green Dragon and confidently walked out of the Cave Mansion, suddenly sweeping his spear!

Xuanwu Wander·Defend!

Instantly, a glimmer of Xuanwu brilliance appeared, transforming into a Turtle Shell condensed by Dragon Demon Power, deflecting the attacking methods and treasures of the Beast Taming Sect one by one.

"Beast Taming Sect!"

Ning Daoran looked disdainfully and casually smiled, "Being offered face and yet refusing it, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Leave immediately, anyone still here within three breaths will be killed without mercy!"

"You..."

A group of Beast Taming Sect Elders and disciples were dumbstruck.

Many of them looked towards their back, hoping their Supreme Ancestor would take action since the opponent was a Nascent Soul, probably only Lu Yunzhou the Primordial Martial God could withstand him.

"Senior Ning!"

Just then, a figure hurried over, gasping for air. It was Lu Wenyao.

"Everyone, disperse!"

Lu Wenyao flicked her sleeve angrily, "Senior Ning once saved my life, how dare you surround his Cave Mansion? Are you trying to slap my face, Lu Wenyao?"

"But, Sect Master..." An Elder tried to speak.

"I am the Sect Master, my word is the law!"

Lu Wenyao gritted her teeth, "Everyone, get out!"

"Sect Master!"

An Inner Sect Disciple said, "But the Supreme Elder said..."

"I’ve already had a fight with my father, I will have the final say in this matter!"

Lu Wenyao gritted her teeth and said, "Although Guild Leader Ji from Qingfu Square is with Qiyun Tower, due to the overwhelming situation, many have no control over their actions. Besides, she has never entered the upper echelons of Qiyun Tower; she cannot be considered a mortal enemy of our Beast Taming Sect. My father has already conceded, and Senior Ning has promised to protect Guild Leader Ji. No one shall pursue this matter further, and no one is to offend Senior Ning’s Cave Mansion, otherwise do not blame this Sect Master for being ruthless!"

"Yes!"

The crowd clasped their fists and then dispersed.

"Senior Ning..."

Lu Wenyao showed a hint of apology, "I’m sorry... I’m not entirely in control of the situation. This fault lies with our Beast Taming Sect, and I regret the inconvenience caused to Senior Ning."

"I have not been particularly troubled."

Ning Daoran looked calmly at the backs of the crowd and smiled, "Instead, Sect Master Lu, you saved these people. If you had been even a moment later, all you would have found here would have been a pile of corpses."

"..."

A chill ran down Lu Wenyao’s spine.

Although Fire Element True Monarch seems easy-going and young, one must never forget that he is a Nascent Soul and also a Loose Cultivator. His means of killing and his decisive nature could be beyond Lu Wenyao’s imagination.

"Hmm..."

Lu Wenyao nodded slightly, "I have troubled you greatly today. I will personally come to apologize another day. Please, Senior, don’t take it to heart. Oh, and about the rental for your Cave Mansion, there’s no need to renew. Wenyao will waive the rent permanently for you. As long as you wish, you can use this Cave Mansion for as long as you like."

"Thank you."

Ning Daoran clasped his fist with a smile and retreated into his Cave Mansion.

Lu Wenyao turned and left, her heart extremely uneasy.

She was not quite aware that she had inadvertently saved her own father’s life.

...

Several days later.

Liuyun Mountain was completely occupied by the Beast Taming Sect, new Arrays set up, Cultivators dispatched to guard the entire mountain. These were mundane issues.

Qiyun Tower resisted stubbornly and suffered heavy losses; at least a thousand disciples died on Qiyun Mountain.

Throughout, Elder Jing Long seated at Qiyun Tower’s ancestral ground never showed up.

He was naturally cautious, considering his real opponents were not just Lu Yunzhou and Rock Dragon, but also the Nascent Soul Middle Stage State Preceptor Luo Qi!

After issuing the royal decree, Luo Qi did not leave. Qiyun Tower’s spies reported that the state preceptor was still staying at the Martial God Pavilion, ready to strike at any moment. If he were to join forces with Lu Yunzhou and Lu Wenyao, it might pose a fatal threat to Jing Long.

Of course, there was another worry.

Jing Long was uncertain about the stance of Fire Element True Monarch residing on Liuyun Mountain. Although Ji Ning was from Qiyun Tower and had a deep relationship with Fire Element True Monarch, he had never showed his attitude towards Qiyun Tower.

Moreover, Fire Element True Monarch once visited the Beast Taming Sect as a guest and seemed to have some connection with Lu Wenyao.

Fire Element True Monarch’s strand of Dragon Demon Sword Intent left a profound impression on Jing Long...

If he were to join forces with Lu Yunzhou and the State Preceptor, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Thus, when Jing Long received a secret report stating that Beast Taming Sect disciples had actually attacked Fire Element True Monarch’s Cave Mansion two days ago, Jing Long was extremely annoyed, feeling he had missed a God-given opportunity.

Had he known about the conflict between Fire Element True Monarch and Lu Yunzhou earlier, he could have acted during the battle at Liuyun Mountain and completely annihilate Lu Yunzhou once and for all, thereby permanently solving the impedance from Martial God Pavilion and the Court, and concentrate on dealing with the Beast Taming Sect.

But alas, there is no such thing as a regret medicine in this world. By now, Liuyun Mountain had already been occupied by the Beast Taming Sect, and Qiyun Tower had lost its leverage to compete with the Beast Taming Sect in Dongming City.

At this moment, the forces of Qiyun Tower remaining in the city were being cleansed by the joint efforts of the Beast Taming Sect and Martial God Pavilion. Once these forces were completely eradicated, their next target would very likely be Qiyun Tower’s ancestral ground!

Thinking of this, Jing Long was full of worries. The storm was eventually going to arrive!

...

Several more days later.

Numerous Spirit Boats sprawled across the sky, the State Preceptor standing with his hands clasped behind his back on the flagship’s deck, looking down at Dongming City with a look full of pride.

Just recently, Lu Yunzhou had plundered the treasury of Qiyun Tower within the city, obtaining a large amount of treasures. As a token of appreciation, he secretly handed a Storage Ring to the State Preceptor, which was filled with Mid-grade Spirit Stones!

"State Preceptor."

A Golden Core Elder respectfully clasped his fist and smiled, "State Preceptor’s strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf is truly brilliant, with Lu Yunzhou and Jing Long exhausting the entire foundation of Hun State. Once Lu Yunzhou collapses, for the State Preceptor to come back and completely swallow the cultivation resources of Hun State would be as easy as flipping one’s hand!"

"Hmph!"

Luo Qi scoffed, "Do you think I, the State Preceptor, am seeking personal gain? How shortsighted. Everything I do is in accordance with His Majesty’s decree. As long as His Majesty holds supreme power, as long as there is peace under the heavens, even if I have nothing, what does it matter?"

"State Preceptor’s integrity and noble character truly set an example for all courtiers!"

"What do you think will happen next with this matter in Hun State?"

"As long as Lu Yunzhou can be patient, he will certainly be able to subdue Qiyun Tower. Now that Qiyun Tower is like a centipede dead but not stiff, it all depends on Lu Yunzhou’s competence."

"Enough."

Luo Qi indifferently said, "The State Preceptor has done all that can be done for the Martial God Pavilion. If Lu Yunzhou really can’t support himself, then it’s just his lack of fortune. We’ll just plan anew. By the way, has there been any movement from Fire Element True Monarch?"

"This person has been behind closed doors, a timid individual."

The Golden Core Elder smirked, "Does the State Preceptor plan to casually dispose of him..."

"Enough."

Luo Qi said, "Let’s return to the capital, no need for unnecessary complications. Such a trash Nascent Soul doesn’t deserve my attention."

"Yes!"

...

Inside Dongming City, chaos reigned as the war between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower intensified.

Fortunately, Liuyun Mountain is safe.

Ning Daoran once again focused single-mindedly, beginning his retreat in hopes of new breakthroughs!
