Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 759: Chapter 93 Save the Asura Path
 

“If the Six Paths do not send troops soon, the Asura Path will no longer be able to hold on!”

“Although Kunlun doesn’t dare to besiege Iron City Mountain, they have sent Changgeng True Person to suffocate us in battle. With a First Grade Golden Core, he has no rivals among his peers! Today he killed five, tomorrow he’ll kill ten. If the Six Paths don’t provide assistance, there will be no one left in the Asura Path! From then on, the Six Paths will become five!”

Despite the rough appearance of the monk sent by the Demon Cult, his delivery of lines was surprisingly cadenced, filled with genuine emotion, moving the audience to a mix of strange expressions, all while wondering if the situation at Iron City Mountain had really deteriorated to such an extent.

Only Wei Dongliu sat in the seat of honor, utterly unmoved by the monk’s lament.

Others might not know the situation at Iron City Mountain, but could he be unaware?

Retreating ten thousand steps, even if the Asura Path suffered heavy losses, so what?

Among the Six Paths, only the Nether Ghosts, Heavenly Demons, and Mortal Life Path Cultivators are capable of combat, the rest are just there to make up the numbers, with the Hell Path practically non-existent. Forget about the Six Paths becoming five, even if it became four or three, what difference would it make?

If it weren’t for the geographical advantage of Iron City Mountain and Yu Long Mountain (threatening the flanks of Kunlun and Shushan respectively), do you think you’d be qualified to join the Six Paths?

Of course, although this is what everyone probably thought, on the surface, they still shared a common enmity and indignantly said:

“Kunlun truly lacks the style of a great sect!”

“Surrounding without attacking, intentionally weakening Iron City Mountain’s strength is utterly despicable!”

“Claiming to be the leader of the righteous path, yet committing such unjust actions, is simply laughable to the entire world!”

Talk as they might, when it came to actually assisting the Asura Path, not a soul was willing to mention it — just as when they had all eagerly agreed to fight, filled with righteous indignation, only the Demon Cult monk adamantly refused to budge on compensation.

When it comes down to the interests of their sects, who isn’t shrewd? Do they really expect someone to change their stance with just a few words?

The monk cautiously forced a smile, sweat faintly visible on his forehead… primarily because during the Six Paths conference, the Demon Cult monk had made grandiose statements, drawing too much animosity, to the point that now he could sense that although everyone seemed to be comforting him on the surface, they were actually reveling in the Asura Path’s misfortune!

“That being said, where is the great Demon Cult master?” Wei Dongliu spoke faintly, “Didn’t the master say last time that if he didn’t come in person, it wouldn’t count as the Asura Path needing to ask for help?”

“This…” the monk said cautiously, “The great Demon Cult master stated that the battle at Iron City Mountain is fierce, and he really couldn’t leave, which is why he sent this humble monk to ask for help. Please forgive this indiscretion, Alliance Leader Wei…”

“Heh, heh, heh,” laughed Wei Dongliu coldly.

“Haha, haha,” the other Six Path cultivators also began to laugh mockingly.

Embarrassment is indeed a supreme delight! It’s just a shame that the bald Demon Cult monk isn’t here; mocking from afar just doesn’t feel quite the same.

Now it all depends on what decision Great Alliance Leader Wei will make. If they decide to continue fighting, they definitely must save the Asura Path.

But the Demon Cult monk only sent a messenger with a message, which is far too insincere. If they were to let it go just like that, everyone could rationally accept it, but emotionally, they felt as if something was missing.

“Given the circumstances, let us all head to Iron City Mountain to see if the great Demon Cult master is truly unable to leave,” Wei Dongliu declared, rising with a flick of his sleeves, his voice cold. “Should this envoy be misrepresenting the truth and tarnishing the great Demon Cult master’s reputation, that would be unacceptable.”

“Exactly, exactly,” said the other Sect cultivators upon hearing this, immediately nodding in agreement.

So, you’re going to Iron City Mountain to hear the great Demon Cult master beg in person, are you?

The monk was taken aback when he heard this but then thought, if Alliance Leader Wei really brings the army for the rescue, doesn’t that mean I’ve accomplished my mission?

As for the great Demon Cult master being humiliated… that’s not something this humble monk can prevent or change, right?

“Very good, then.” The monk chanted Amitabha and continued, “I’ll leave it to you all.”

So the various Sects began to count their people and form teams to head to Iron City Mountain.

Since it had already been decided to use Iron City Mountain as a springboard for their forces, everyone was quite prompt in their actions.

Arriving in a grand manner near Iron City Mountain, they saw the Kunlun side with their flags fluttering and treasures shining up to the heavens, as if they had already set up a formidable array, just waiting for the Six Paths to fall into their trap.

Seeing Kunlun deploying so many people, those from the Six Paths started feeling uneasy.

Was Kunlun planning to go all out this time?

This could be troublesome! If Kunlun really turned into a mad dog that bites anyone it sees, coupled with its thousand-year accumulation of depth and strength, it could inflict heavy damage on the Six Paths, even risking the total eradication of their teachings!

“Don’t panic,” Wei Dongliu said calmly, noting the obvious desire to retreat among the crowd, “It’s just a bluff.”

“Let’s march in boldly from the eastern side of Iron City Mountain. Let’s see if Kunlun dares to block our way.”

Having said that, Wei Dongliu didn’t wait for a response and flew ahead.

With the Sect Leader taking the initiative, the Mortal Life Path Cultivators naturally didn’t dare fall behind and quickly followed close behind.

Seeing the Mortal Life Path so valiant, the Nether Ghost and Heavenly Demon had no choice but to follow, purposely staying not far behind them in case they needed to flee should Kunlun turn hostile.

The Eastern Emperor Path, on the other hand, was much more relaxed, dragging their feet at the rear, maintaining a distance from Mortal Life Path and the others.

At this time, Qiu Changtian was still deep in battle in the desert to the north of Iron City Mountain, but Kunlun naturally had scouts placed in other directions as well.

Seeing the Demon Cult’s army spreading out under the sky and marching in with great fanfare, the scouting Cultivators immediately used Flying Sword Messaging to inform their Sect, and then hurriedly retreated back to their main formation.

The people from the Six Paths continued advancing. As they got closer and closer to Iron City Mountain, Kunlun’s interception forces still did not appear.

Thus, the expressions on everyone’s faces grew increasingly complex and hard to define:

Could it be that Wei Dongliu was right in his prediction, that Kunlun’s grand setup at Iron City Mountain was nothing but a feint?

Was Kunlun still that cautious Sect that shied away from casualties and fought with hands tied?

Thinking this, the Nether Ghost and Heavenly Demon quickly caught up, clinging tightly to the backs of the Mortal Life Path Cultivators, showing a stance of ‘we are of the same branch, fighting together.’

The Eastern Emperor Path also quickly closed the distance, ready to cheer for the Six Paths at any moment.

Iron City Mountain, like drought-stricken earth relieved by rain, quickly sent out the monks to lead everyone into Iron City Mountain.

In the main hall, the Reverend Master of the Void stood in the center, his expression shifting between light and dark.

The surrounding Nascent Soul Elders remained calm, circling around him at a distance, intentionally clearing a round area of space.

The returned messenger had already said that Alliance Leader Wei was willing to come to the Asura Path’s aid, but he was quite dissatisfied with the previous attitude of the Reverend Master of the Void, and thus wanted to come over and ask if the Asura Path really intended to seek help?

After some consideration, given that the Reverend Master of the Void had spoken harshly before and now had drawn the dissatisfaction of such an important ally, the high-ranking reverend masters of the Asura Path decided to ‘sell’ him out… in other words, make him receive Great Alliance Leader Wei.

The Reverend Master of the Void was fuming with anger, but although he was a Great Reverend Master, due to the decentralized power in the Asura Path, when the other reverend masters reached a consensus, there wasn’t much he could do but grind his molars in silence, pondering how to behave so as to pacify the visitors while not losing too much face.
