Chapter 44 Righteous Cultivators Who Lack Martial Morality
Chapter 44 Righteous Cultivators Who Lack Martial Morality
The news of the upcoming opening of the secret realm has spread far and wide these past few days, reaching both righteous and evil cultivators.
When the secret realm opened on that day, all the sects, big and small, from the surrounding area came, including more than thirty second-rate evil cultivation sects.
One righteous disciple lamented, "The development of these evil cultivators is getting faster every year. In a few more years, they may even surpass us righteous cultivators."
Seeing his naive and unsophisticated appearance, another person kindly explained to him:
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but these second-rate evil cultivation sects are like leeks, growing one crop after another."
As long as their power doesn't grow too strong, let them develop as they please. Their evil cultivators fight every two or three days, so they'll all die out on their own without us even lifting a finger.
"What about those larger and more powerful heretical sects?"
"That is nothing to fear. As long as our five righteous sects remain, evil cultivators will not be able to cause any trouble."
Especially the Qingyun Sect, the foremost sect of righteous cultivators. It's said that their top genius, Zhong Hanshang, is only sixteen years old and has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
"Then our righteous future can be said to be bright, and these evil cultivators are nothing to fear now."
When the Shadow Moon Sect's group of nine arrived, there was no room to stand at the entrance of the secret realm; it was a sea of people.
Nine people dressed in black, wearing masks that only revealed their eyes, clearly the attire of evil cultivators.
"Didn't our senior brother say that our Shadow Moon Sect has connections in both the righteous and the wicked? Why didn't the righteous sects notify us to enter the secret realm this time?"
Lou Chongxiao said dismissively, "They're just afraid we'll take their spots. I heard that many sects have conducted advance selections for righteous cultivators to enter the secret realm this time."
Although each small sect only has one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators, the competition for these spots is still fierce.
"Furthermore, I've heard that many small sects have already formed alliances in private. It's already very rare for a sect like ours to be able to get into nine of them."
Gao Huohuo agreed wholeheartedly. In fact, sects like the Shadow Sect, which she had previously belonged to, had special places for their disciples to train.
Therefore, these small, secret realms became places that these minor sects fought over.
But once you enter the secret realm, there aren't as many rules as when you compete outside; it's a fight to the death.
Those who survived were either extremely strong or exceptionally intelligent; these are the talents that the sect should vigorously cultivate.
Every year when the small secret realm opens, some timid people dare not enter. They will run away to complete other tasks during those few days in order to escape the fate of being killed if they enter the secret realm.
Of course, most of them are bold, after all, the path of cultivation has always been one where the brave win.
Danger often comes with opportunity; the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
Soon all Foundation Establishment cultivators received the notification from above and began to enter the secret realm one by one.
Once Gao Huohuo and his group went inside, there weren't many Foundation Establishment cultivators left outside.
Upon entering, one could see that a fierce battle had already taken place inside, between righteous cultivators and evil cultivators.
At this time, both sides are more united than ever before, adhering to the principle of uniting against external threats before resolving internal conflicts.
The evil cultivators were delighted to see Gao Huohuo and his group of nine enter, while the righteous cultivators looked worried.
"Damn it, how come there are so many evil cultivators? A batch of them came in, and another batch came in, and they were still evil cultivators."
"Hey, you newbies, come over here quickly, be careful of those hypocritical guys over there sneaking up on you."
Looking at the situation on both sides, it was clear that there were more evil cultivators, and given their attire, Gao Huohuo and his group could only go to the evil cultivators' side!
But the righteous cultivators couldn't wait to make a move, so they launched a sudden attack before the cultivators even got close.
Gao Huohuo and his senior brother reacted quickly and blocked the first wave of attacks.
Fourth Senior Brother Su Mo quickly threw out a dome-like object, covering all nine of them.
"Aren't these supposed to be righteous cultivators? Why don't they uphold martial ethics? They've even learned to use sneak attacks!"
As soon as Lou Chongxiao said this, the evil cultivators seized the opportunity to start cursing.
The righteous cultivators, knowing they were in the wrong, didn't retaliate but intensified their attacks, which only made things difficult for the nine Shadow Moon Sect members who were still in the middle.
"Fourth Senior Brother, how much longer can this thing last?"
When his junior sister asked him, the fourth senior brother, Su Mo, silently held up five fingers.
Gao Huohuo was immediately relieved upon seeing this.
"There's still five incense sticks' worth of time! No rush, let them fight for a while."
No sooner had they finished speaking than the shield was shattered by an attack, and the nine people hurriedly ran towards the evil cultivators.
Once they were finally in a safe area, Gao Huohuo looked at her fourth senior brother and asked in confusion:
"Fourth Senior Brother, didn't you say there was still five incense sticks' worth of time? How come it's so fast?"
Su Mo said awkwardly, "Junior Sister, is it possible that you misunderstood? I was counting down the last five numbers."
Gao Huohuo had never doubted herself as much as she did now. Holding up five fingers meant counting down from the bottom five?
At this moment, her native language is silence.
"Senior Brother, let's hurry and leave while no one's watching!"
Upon hearing her seventh senior sister's words, Gao Huohuo quickly went to her and comforted her:
"Seventh Senior Sister, don't worry, we are still safe here, but we can't leave yet."
The righteous cultivators attacked us just now, but it was the evil cultivators who were helping us. If we leave now, we will find it very difficult to move forward in the secret realm.
After all, neither evil cultivators nor righteous cultivators would like ungrateful people like us.
After listening to Gao Huohuo's explanation, Seventh Senior Sister Lin Qingxue felt it made a lot of sense, so she stopped asking to leave.
After persuading Seventh Senior Sister, Gao Huohuo told the other senior brothers and sisters about his plans and ran to the front alone.
He launched into a verbal attack on the righteous cultivators opposite him.
Especially the line, "Righteous cultivators are worse than pigs and dogs, and shameless scoundrels who attack from behind."
Instantly, all the heretical cultivators agreed, and they all shouted it out in unison, each shout louder than the last.
The righteous cultivators, unable to bear the embarrassment any longer, had no choice but to slip away.
The first battle between the righteous and evil factions ended easily with Gao Huohuo's slogan.
As a result, Gao Huohuo was also viewed differently by the evil cultivators, who were even glad that Gao Huohuo was on their side.
Didn't you see that even the usually thick-skinned righteous cultivator was scolded so badly that he couldn't lift his head and slunk away?
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask which sect you belong to? Your strength is quite remarkable."
Gao Huohuo waved his hand modestly, "It's nothing, nothing at all. But when you go in later, it's best if you go in together to avoid being attacked or retaliated against by righteous cultivators."
Upon hearing this, the heretical practitioners all nodded in agreement.
So they all left in groups, and finally Gao Huohuo and his nine friends also headed in one direction.
