Chapter 337: Sir is Going to Reasoning Now

Ever since Lu Xun joined the back mountain, the eldest brother had been in constant seclusion, while the second sister has been seeking insight into the universe in the bamboo forest.

According to Mao Nanbei, the second sister was secluding herself to make a breakthrough in her cultivation base and trying to achieve the Great Perfection in Sword Cultivating Technique.

Strictly speaking, when he came to the back mountain, the mentor wasn’t around, and the second sister was the initial guide to his cultivation journey.

Although Gu Xiaoman is cool and reserved, and doesn’t like to talk much, she has always taken good care of Lu Xun.

And somehow, the second sister’s stutter unexpectedly hit Lu Xun’s cute point.

That made the usually serious second sister seem especially adorable to him.

Her cuteness was no less than that of Mao Nanbei.

So, that bastard loved to tease the second sister by chatting with her.

He always looked for an excuse to talk to the second sister!

This time, he immediately looked up after learning from the third brother that the second sister was about to make a breakthrough, staring at the slender Taoist nun on the rock, and asked,”Second sister, is this true?”

Mao Nanbei couldn’t stand it any longer and raised its chubby paw to slap Lu Xun.

“Could the third brother be kidding with meow?”, it implied.

Gu Xiaoman was sitting on the rock, initially ignoring Lu Xun, but eventually sighed and replied, “It’s…it’s true.”

“Then junior brother won’t bother second sister anymore, I wish you an early breakthrough.” Lu Xun said with a smile.

Before returning to the back mountain, he had maintained a tense state and had a lot on his mind.

Only after returning to the back mountain with the help of his mentor, and having his other brothers and sisters around him, did Lu Xun relax and return to his usual state.

To him, the back mountain of the Demon Sect was the safest place in the world.

It was also the most comforting place.

Within the grand hall on Demon Sect’s main peak.

The mentor’s figure appeared directly in the grand hall, Shen Yan immediately stood up, giving the main seat to the mentor.

Shen Yan and all the other peak masters first paid respect to the mentor, then took their seats in order.

“Shen Yan,” the mentor began.

“Yes, mentor”, responded Shen Yan.

“Take note of what I am about to say, create a copy, then use a Magical Weapon to send a copy to each of the rest of the Six Major Sects.”, commanded the mentor.

“Yes,” Shen Yan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, all the faces, including those of Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters, were filled with solemnity and seriousness.

The reason was simple: Instead of the junior uncle addressing the matter himself, the mentor had taken it upon himself to explain.

As everyone knows, the mentor rarely showed interest in most matters, the fact that he had chosen to intervene himself meant this was much more serious than they had initially anticipated!

More so, the mentor had just noted that the remaining Six Major Sects needed to be informed.

From this, it was clear that the individual who attacked the junior uncle had extensive backing!

“No need to be so tense.” The mentor looked around at everyone, raising his hand and making a calming gesture.

Shen Yan is the most comfortable to watch, the mentor thought to himself.

With his serious face and furrowed brows, he looked like a scrumptious braised egg with concentrated facial features, uniquely unattractive in his own way.

Everyone paused for a moment, then thought to themselves, “Could it be that we’re overthinking?”

But since the mentor said so, they felt quite a lot more at ease, no longer appearing so serious and tense.

“Firstly, I want to tell you that these mysterious men are not from the Heavenly Dust Continent, they are from beyond the continent.” the mentor calmly revealed.

“What!?” Shen Yan and the others nearly jumped out of their seats.

This was far more outrageous than their wildest speculations!

People from another world?

How could that be possible!

However, since the words came from the mentor’s mouth, they instinctively found them convincing.

The mentor seeing everyone’s surprise, waved his hand, and said, “Based on Little Five’s statement, the person who attacked him is named Yin Tian. He managed to extract some useful information from him.”

“Furthermore, according to him, after Yin Tian’s death, his cultivation base did not return to the universe. Gongshu Pan, you were at the scene, can you confirm this?” the mentor asked.

Gongshu Pan nodded, “Indeed, that’s the case.”

He had also quietly noticed this before, so when discussing with Shen Yan and others, he had considered Yin Tian to be an evil cultivator.

They initially believed it to be an evil cultivation force, pondering why these people who should be hiding like mice dared to provoke their Demon Sect.

Do they not fear being uprooted by us?

From what it seems now, their thoughts were still too naive.

The mentor continued to repeat what Lu Xun had reported, “Little Five also said that not only that, these people can also absorb nature’s spiritual energy to supplement themselves when their internal cultivation is exhausted. However, it requires secret method to convert, absorbing ten to save one.”

This comment made Shen Yan and the others involuntarily furrow their brows.

Not giving back to nature was already serious enough, yet they were consuming ten parts and only leaving one part behind!?

If there were a large group of such people, they would be blocking the cultivation path of future generations!

“Sir, according to Yin Tian’s confession, does their faction have many members?” asked Shen Yan.

“For now, there should not be many, but they will arrive on the Heavenly Dust Continent in large numbers through special means in the near future.” the man replied.

Upon saying this, the man couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly finding some part of the situation interesting, he then said,”According to Little Five’s statement, he referred to it as a foreign invasion, where various races from another world would collectively invade the Heavenly Dust Continent.”

Apart from the gentleman, the oldest person in the group, Sima Chuan, said, “If it’s true, it will be a catastrophe of heaven and earth!”

Upon hearing the word ‘catastrophe,’ the gentleman gave Sima Chuan a look of approval.

This was a great setup for what he was going to say next.

You know the story well, young man!

After nodding, the gentleman, without missing a beat, said, “I suspect that these beings are remnants from the ancient catastrophe. This so-called foreign invasion is actually a resurgence of the catastrophe.”

“The Ancient Catastrophe?” The people present exchanged glances.

As high-ranking members of the Demon Sect, they had a certain understanding of the ancient catastrophe.

They had the gentleman to thank for this knowledge.

A home with an elder is like a treasure.

This elder in the household, who seemed like a living piece of history, had been around for who knows how many years.

As for the other six major sects, the three major demon sects all hold the gentleman in high regard. No one would disregard his words, even if the content was this outlandish and unbelievable.

The four righteous sects have a long history, such as the Sword Mountain, which dates back not many years after the ancient catastrophe, hence, they should also have a certain understanding of this history.

It is said that ancient people, akin to extraterritorial demons, descended from an unknown place.

While they brought about killing, they also caused a significant drain on spiritual energy.

The Heavenly Dust Continent has already been through a great upheaval. Should another occur, the consequences would be unimaginable!

If there were another major loss of nature’s spiritual energy, it’s likely the world would enter an era of decline!

This is equivalent to cutting off the entire cultivation world’s heritage!

The faces of Shen Yan and others became increasingly grave.

This matter indeed needed to be reported to the other six major sects, and a meeting of the seven sects should be convened as soon as possible.

Sooner rather than later!

“Shen Yan, as the Sect Master, what do you think?” the man casually asked.

Shen Yan immediately replied, “In justice and reason, we must regard them as mortal enemies!”

The words he used were “justice and reason”. Apart from reason, there was also justice.

He has not forgotten the danger his two senior uncles encountered. This score, the Demon Sect would never let it be settled just like that!

“All right, then. Inform the other six sects.” the man said as he waved his hand.

After Shen Yan nodded his approval, he asked, “Sir, due to the grave nature of this matter, I believe we should convene a Seven Sects Conference as soon as possible.”

“That should be the case.” the man nodded in agreement.

“Ok, I’ll handle it.” Shen Yan promptly replied.

To their surprise, the man raised his hand and said, “I will take the lead in this matter.”

Shen Yan and the others exchanged glances, they were well aware of the man’s temperament, he was someone who disliked troublesome matters.

However, this matter was indeed of great importance, so it was understandable that the gentleman would personally intervene.

“Oh, by the way, the other two demon sects are fine as they are. When you send a letter to the other four sects, remind them to not only bring the sect master to the Seven Sects Conference, but also the Supreme Elders they usually keep hidden away.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan nodded in agreement.

Besides the official leader of a sect, naturally there is a group of “old guys” who are retired.

Whilst they might not be involved in worldly matters anymore, their cultivation bases are extraordinarily high.

The reason is simple: those with low cultivation bases would’ve died of old age, they don’t have such a long lifespan…

Naturally, there are exceptions.

The gentleman looked at everyone and said, “This incident should be led by our Demon Sect.”

When the gentleman said this, everyone understood why he insisted on bringing those old fellows along.

It was all to fight for the position of leader.

“Rest assured, we are not children, everyone understands the situation, they will agree to let us take the lead.” the gentleman nonchalantly waved his hand.

And as everyone knew, the gentleman was strongest at “persuading” others and the best at “reasoning”.
