Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 210 Let's run away

"Our Taiyi Ziwei Sect is said to possess a fragment of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror!"

Lu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment: "The Mysterious Mirror? You mean that ancient divine mirror?"

"That's the one!"

Lu Wenyuan waved his hand: "Hey! So what if it's there? What's the big deal? Do you think some blind thief would dare to steal from the Taiyi Ziwei Sect?"

"No, it's the Taiyin Sect that wants that fragment!"

"Taiyin Sect?" Lu Wenyuan hissed, "Senior Sister, are you alright? How could Taiyin Sect possibly rob other sects for no reason?"

"It's not about stealing, it's about exchanging or buying. Of course, I reckon the elders definitely won't agree... but that's not the point! The point is, the Taiyin Sect also has fragments of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror, and more than one! Moreover, the spirits of the Douxuan Treasure Mirrors are all here with the Taiyin Sect! They've settled right here in Chang'an City!"

Lu Wenyuan was stunned: "Huh? The Taiyin Sect has it too!?"

Chaoyan stamped her foot anxiously: "And the spirit of the artifact is in the Taiyin Sect! Just imagine, what if our elders found out about this..."

Lu Wenyuan suddenly realized, his face turning deathly pale. He replied, "Then they will definitely try to destroy the Taiyin Sect and then steal the fragments and the artifact spirit!"

This is not just Asagao's alarmist talk.

It's important to know that the Guixu Realm doesn't have a United Nations, nor does it possess any unexploded nuclear weapons or the Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council.

The consequence of having no rules is that strength becomes the rule, and only the records of the victors are called history.

Just as the Misty Golden Immortal recently vented his anger by massacring a city, and the Penglai God, to save face, killed thousands of Misty Immortal Sect disciples as a warning, keeping things under control within a certain scale is also based on the premise that both sides have their own strengths.

The Immortal of the Misty Mountains had not yet attained enlightenment, naturally falling short of the God of Penglai. Although the God of Penglai had already attained divine authority and still held a position of power over Penglai Island, he dared not interfere too deeply in the mortal world due to the numerous tribulations he had endured. The Immortal of the Misty Mountains' massacre of mortal towns on Penglai Island was merely a small test, masking his outburst of anger over the loss of his son (nephew) and his demand for justice. As for the God of Penglai's intervention, it was a warning.

If the Penglai God were to weaken even slightly, the Penglai Sect's position would likely be lost, and it might even be forced to relinquish many things that it should not possess.

In that clash, according to the values ​​of the cultivators of the Guixu Realm, the Misty Immortal Sect was slightly inferior. How could a few mere mortal towns compare to thousands of disciples from a sect—even the less respectable outer disciples!

However, overall, it was just a minor skirmish. After all, whether it was ordinary people who were not considered human or outer disciples of sects who were no different from servants, no matter how many died, they could always be replaced, so it didn't matter.

But from the perspective of Asagao and Lü Wenyuan now, it is...

"That's a really big deal!"

Lu Wenyuan's lips trembled as he said, "If the Taiyi Ziwei Sect really intends to take action, what will happen to all the ordinary people in Chang'an?"

Seeing that Lü Wenyuan's expression suddenly became even more terrified than her own, Asagao casually comforted him, "Don't be so scared, the Taiyin Sect might not necessarily lose..."

Lu Wenyuan said excitedly, "Senior Sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but how many people does the Taiyin Sect have in total? And they're all Foundation Establishment weaklings! Even the most powerful elders, and even the sect leader, are far inferior! Even if they worship the Heart Moon Star Lord and the Horn Wood Star Lord, if something really happens, how could they possibly risk the Heavenly Tribulation to help them!"

"Isn't there still the Goddess Taiyin?!" Lu Wenyuan was so anxious that he ran around the room frantically. "Unless it's a matter of annihilating the sect, the Goddess Taiyin can't easily take action, right?!"

"I don't know...that's why I said, something terrible has happened!"

As Chaoyan spoke, her eyes darted around, and she suggested, "Junior brother, how about... we run away?"

Lu Wenyuan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then became somewhat tempted. However, a rare glimmer of conscience that had resurfaced in him recently created a barely perceptible resistance to his impending agreement. Lu Wenyuan stammered, "This, this...this is probably...this might not be appropriate..."

Asagao retorted confidently, "What's wrong with that! We're not from the Taiyin Sect, why should we just wait here to die? Besides, what if a fight breaks out and the Taiyin Sect disciples kill us as a sacrifice to their flag? After all, we are disciples of the Taiyi Ziwei Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Wenyuan instinctively denied it: "They wouldn't!"

"Who knows... well, okay, probably not... but,"

During this time, Chaoyan had gained a considerable understanding of the Taiyin Sect disciples and knew that players wouldn't do such a thing—those strange creatures were either only interested in "quests" with rewards and compensation, or they particularly enjoyed helping the weak and poor. It was laughable that such acts of taking out their anger on others and "indiscriminately killing the innocent" were described as "inhumane" and "immoral" by them!
Asagao inwardly scoffed at the players' behavior before continuing, "But, but no matter what, the Taiyin Sect is definitely doomed..."

"Senior sister,"

Lu Wenyuan suddenly interrupted Chaoyan, his voice trembling slightly but also firm: "Senior Sister, you should go back. Go back to the Ziwei Sect. I... I'll stay."

He spoke more and more naturally: "I want to stay. I don't want to go back to the Ziwei Sect. Just tell everyone that Lü Wenyuan died during his tribulation, and that I... I changed my name, so there will be no more Lü Wenyuan in the world. If I really die..."

"If I really die, please remember to offer me two cups of light wine in the future, Senior Sister..."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Asagao's eyes reddened as she scolded, "You're just a weakling who hasn't even formed a Golden Core! What are you pretending to be, acting like you're going to die for your cause! Besides, doesn't the Taiyin Sect have the Taiyin Goddess? What if, what if she's a new god who doesn't care about the Heavenly Tribulation and just protects her own? Maybe the entire Taiyin Sect will be unharmed!"

Lu Wenyuan composed himself and hesitated before saying, "Senior Sister, why don't we ask Senior Sister Jiao instead?"

"You don't need to tell me! I just sent a message talisman, the most urgent one! Senior Sister Jiao should be here soon!"

Asagao rolled her red eyes, which were watery and looked unusually beautiful. Lu Wenyuan glanced at her, somewhat stunned, then quickly looked away, his gaze wandering around the room he was already tired of looking at. He couldn't help but whisper, "Senior sister, you look really good today..."

"Ow—"

Asagao stomped heavily on Lü Wenyuan's foot, and amidst his scream, gritted her teeth and asked, "Wasn't it pretty before? Hmm?"

Lu Wenyuan jolted awake and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Beautiful! Beautiful! Always beautiful!"

"Humph!"

Lü Wenyuan: ……(*)
