Chapter 322: Chapter 235: Silver-tongued, The Volatile Silver Moon Sect Master
“Liuyun Town?” Lu Qing looked at the town ahead and asked, “Senior Xu, what connection does this town have with the Flowing Cloud Sect?”
“This town is essentially a subsidiary of the Flowing Cloud Sect, specially set up to supply the sect with various necessities of life.
After all, as a Major Sect, the Flowing Cloud Sect can’t possibly allow those idle people to come and go from their mountain gates every day.
Hence, they usually go down the mountain to purchase supplies in large quantities every so often, in order to meet the needs of the Sect’s disciples.”
“I see.” Lu Qing looked ahead, his Divine Soul Power faintly probing, “It looks like we haven’t arrived too late, the Major Sects haven’t started their campaign yet.”
In Lu Qing’s perception, Liuyun Town was currently filled with numerous powerful presences.
There were more than a dozen auras with restrained Qi-Blood, seemingly dormant like volcanoes, harboring formidable strength, yet unmanifested.
Clearly, these were genuine Martial Arts Experts, far more powerful than Senior Xu beside him.
However, Lu Qing was surprised that he did not sense the presence of anyone in the Innate Realm.
He wondered if the Innate Realm Experts from the Major Sects were not present, or if they used Special Secret Methods to conceal their Innate Essence.
Now at his level of cultivation, Lu Qing knew that the peculiar essence of the Innate Realm could allow Innate Realm Experts to sense each other’s presence upon close proximity, even without a direct encounter.
But this wasn’t absolute.
In the world, there were still Special Secret Methods, or unique Exotic Treasures, capable of concealing that Innate Essence.
At least he had witnessed such cases before.
For instance, the Exotic Treasure on Lin Zhirui, a disciple of the Tianji Building, could conceal all aura, even deceiving Little Li’s senses.
And then there was his master, who, since comprehending the complete innate domain, could perfectly conceal his own Innate Essence, becoming undetectable to other Innate Realm Experts.
“Master, shall we go in?”
Lu Qing knew that his master should also be able to sense the situation inside the town.
The elder doctor thought for a moment and shook his head, “No need, let’s just find a place to settle down outside the town. There’s no need to go in and invite trouble unnecessarily.”
“I think so too.” Lu Qing nodded.
Despite the appearance of the Major Sects joining forces gathered at Flowing Cloud Sect as if united against a common enemy, things were not so simple.
At least Lu Qing could sense several powerful auras in town, not yielding to each other, with a hint of confrontation.
This indicated that within these so-called allied Sects, conflicts were numerous, and certainly not of one mind.
In such a situation, who knew what might happen next? It was better for them to stay outside the town and watch how things unfolded.
“Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, aren’t we entering the town?” The round middle-aged man was somewhat surprised.
“We won’t go in,” said the elder doctor. “Since we are here just to watch the excitement and broaden our horizons, there’s no need to get too close. It’s better to observe from a distance and avoid any trouble.”
“…Alright then.” The round middle-aged man could only say.
But he didn’t believe that the elder doctor and his companions would truly fear any trouble.
The way Lu Qing and his companions slaughtered those mountain bandits a couple of days ago was still vivid in his mind.
People who can kill so decisively, how could they possibly be afraid to even enter a small town?
However, since the elder doctor said so, the round middle-aged man naturally wouldn’t object.
Over the past two days, interacting with them, he had come to realize that Doctor Chen and Lu Qing’s party were quite mysterious, with many aspects beyond his comprehension.
Like their cultivation, for instance.
He saw with his own eyes how Lu Qing, with an awe-inspiringly beautiful Hidden Weapon technique, instantly took down more than twenty bandits armed with bows and hidden weapons.
But no matter how he observed and sensed afterward, he couldn’t determine Lu Qing’s true cultivation level.
In his perception, from beginning to end, the Qi-Blood Power that Lu Qing displayed was merely at the Qi Blood Realm level and had never changed.
The same went for Doctor Chen.
He seemed perfectly ordinary, and besides being more spirited than the average old man, showed no extraordinary traits.
But to have raised a disciple like Lu Qing and to command the sincere respect and willingness to serve from two Martial Arts high experts like Ma Gu and Wei Zian, how could he be an ordinary person?
Therefore, the more the round middle-aged man observed Lu Qing and his companions over the past two days, the more he was astonished.
Fortunately, Lu Qing and his companions were friendly and not overbearingly arrogant, plus the food they cooked was truly delicious.
Otherwise, during their journey, he would have considered taking his daughter and disciples to slip away quietly.
Thus, Lu Qing and his companions found a nice spot in the mountains near the small town and prepared to settle down temporarily.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones who had come to the vicinity of Liuyun Town upon hearing the news, wishing to watch the excitement without getting involved.
Many other unattached Martial Artists also chose not to enter the town and hid themselves in nearby locations, ready to flee at any moment if anything went wrong.
While Lu Qing and his companions were busy, in the largest tavern within Liuyun Town, many powerful figures were sitting solemnly.
“This is preposterous, Wang Pan, what does your Flowing Cloud Sect mean by this? So many Sects have come to visit together, and instead of welcoming us through your mountain gates, you’ve arranged for us to stay in this rundown tavern? Are you deliberately trying to humiliate us?”
What do you think?
