Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 276: Chapter 191: Return to the Sect (50,000 words in five updates, asking for monthly passes!)

Several days later!

At the entrance to the territory of Ghost Ridge Palace, here lies a critical pass between a mountain range.

From afar, one could see three Obsidian Towers standing on the mountain peaks; these served as the eyes of the Mountain Protection Array and were key positions held by the Elders.

Next to the towers, there were numerous military tents spread out.@@novelbin@@

A large number of Disciples gathered here for rest, recuperation, and launching attacks, conveniently demolishing nearby enemies or killing those surrounding Righteous Disciples.

However, with the forces from Guan Chao Pavilion, Miao Yin Temple, Purple Mist Sect, Golden Sword Sect, and Qingluan Mountain continually adding troops,

the Disciples of Ghost Ridge Palace seldom ventured out to counter-encircle, as too many Disciples never returned.

The manpower had now shrunk back within the Sect’s boundaries, hardly ever venturing out.

…

As usual, Jing Weitao stood at the watchtower on the mountain peak, relying on his eyesight to survey the surroundings while releasing scouting insects to inspect the wilderness.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, his strength wasn’t formidable, possessing only up to the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm Cultivation.

However, he had mastered the Insect Control Technique well, so he had been assigned as a sentry, daily scanning the activities of those Righteous Sects.

“We dare not go out, and they dare not come in, it’s so boring. How long should this guarding last?”

Jing Weitao, watching a butterfly fluttering at his fingertips and sharing the insect’s vision, complained to his companion, who was also a sentry.

“Come on, this task is good, it’s safe and there’s no need to risk your life. Do you really want to go into the mountains and forests of the Sect, battling those Righteous Disciples?”

His companion rolled his eyes, saying begrudgingly.

“You’re right, with my level of strength, I’m barely able to protect myself,”

Jing Weitao thought about that scenario and immediately shivered.

Many Disciples lost their lives in the primitive forests of Ghost Ridge Palace, and now, it was said that the Sect was preparing to mobilize those of the Second Level of Yunling Realm as fodder to replenish the losses, indicating how fierce the battles were.

“Uh oh, that’s not good, there’s a situation.”

Jing Weitao’s expression changed as the shared vision from scouting insects made him involuntarily cast his gaze towards the southwest direction.

“What happened?”

The companion also followed his gaze, and immediately witnessed a shocking scene.

In the vast grassland outside the mountain peaks, a red flower sedan chair was seen flying towards them.

And around the flower sedan chair, massive groups of Righteous Disciples were crazily attacking it.

“Is that a Fierce Ghost?”

Jing Weitao, through the scouting insects, could see more clearly and spotted an extraordinarily beautiful woman in a red wedding dress on top of the flower sedan chair.

The scouting insect and the woman in the wedding dress locked eyes, and it seemed that through the insect, she had spotted him, far behind.

Jing Weitao’s heart pounded wildly, his blood ran reverse, and cold sweat soaked his body. He quickly controlled the insect to avoid eye contact, fearing his heart might burst otherwise.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Noticing Jing Weitao’s unusual behavior, his companion grew anxious.

“I don’t know, that woman is very strange, she doesn’t seem like a normal person.”

Jing Weitao couldn’t precisely describe the feeling, but when he looked in that direction again, he saw many of the attacking Righteous Disciples silently fall to the ground, turning into cold corpses.

Boom!

A massive Thousand-Handed Centipede emerged from the flower sedan chair, transforming into a nearly hundred-meter-long behemoth.

Its bony jaws split open, emitting high-temperature beams that melted metal and dissolved the bodies of many Disciples.

Several figures also emerged from the flower sedan chair, joined hands in repelling those attacking Righteous Disciples, and hurriedly ran towards the Ghost Ridge Palace encampment.

Behind the pursuing Righteous Disciples, their Sect Elders from the Hidden Realm had already appeared, flying in to intercept, preparing to fight without martial ethics.

“That is, it’s Brother Su and Brother Xiao.”

After seeing the figure clearly, Jing Weitao drew in a breath of cold air and quickly took out a small black insect whistle from his mouth, blowing it hard.

Atop the three Obsidian Towers, a powerful unmatched aura awakened.

One by one, the Elders of Ghost Ridge Palace opened their eyes and soared up from the towers.

“It’s actually him.”

Taoist Qiu, recognizing the familiar figure, seemed to understand something and hurriedly flew forward to intercept the Secret Realm Elders from the Righteous Sect.

You want to pick on my disciple, bullying the weak? Is this the style of your Righteous Sect!”

With a furious shout from Taoist Qiu, he struck down with his palm. The sea of clouds roiled and the ground split open, blasting two Secret Realm Elders away.

“Master!”

Su Jie called out, his face breaking into a joyous smile.

Originally, Su Jie and the others had planned to return the same way they came, but the blockades set by the Righteous Sect had become increasingly tight. The exit they had used before was sealed, and entry from other places would be blocked by the Mountain Protection Array.

Hence, Su Jie and the others had no choice but to enter through the main gate, forcibly making their way in.

More and more Elders from Ghost Ridge Palace arrived, and the situation immediately became secure.

“Come back with me.”

Taoist Qiu looked at the few Elders opposite him who were intimidated, snorted coldly, and looked scornful.

The other Elders of Ghost Ridge Palace, seeing the corpses scattered around the flower sedan chair and looking at Su Jie, Xiao Fengyuan, and others, were quite surprised because even for the Secret Realm Elders, it was not easy to force their way into this prairie.

Under the escort of a group of Ghost Ridge Palace Elders, Su Jie and his companions safely returned to the inside of the Mountain Protection Array.

Because of the Elders’ mobilization, the Disciples here had already been alerted.

“It’s Brother Su.”

“Brother Xiao is here too. How did they end up outside?”

“No wonder there hasn’t been news of the two lately. Maybe they were out on a mission.”

Su Jie and Xiao Fengyuan were celebrities at Ghost Ridge Palace. The number of Disciples who knew them was not small.

Taoist Qiu naturally knew what kind of mission his Disciples had been on and intended to step forward to inquire about the mission status.

But suddenly, the crowd spontaneously made way, and shouts of “Sect Master!” arose.

A man in a black robe walked slowly forward. It was Zhang Junwei, the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace.

“Sect Master!”

Su Jie bowed, not expecting even the Sect Master to be disturbed.

Zhang Tianjun’s gaze swept over them, lingering a bit longer on the Ghost Bride, Han Ruyan, and asked, “Was the mission accomplished?”

Fortunately, the traitor to the sect, Qi Shijian, has been captured and awaits the Sect’s judgment.”

Su Jie beckoned, and Qi Shijian was spit out by the Thousand-Handed Centipede from its mouth, and Xiao Fengyuan stepped forward and fed him an elixir.

Soon, under the effect of the medicine, Qi Shijian groggily woke up.

Seeing his surroundings after awaking, this pitiable creature who had been unconscious all the way turned deathly pale.

Originally quiet after Zhang Junwei’s arrival, the surrounding Disciples could no longer hold back their silence when they saw Qi Shijian appear, and bursts of shock and anger erupted.

“It’s Qi Shijian. Brother Su and Brother Xiao have captured this traitor.”

“Good! Finally, this traitor has been captured. He must be made to die a terrible death.”

“Killing him would not be enough to quench our anger; we must make him beg for life yet be unable to live and beg for death yet unable to die.”

Countless Disciples angrily stared at Qi Shijian, for his betrayal of the sect during the war and harming one of the sect’s three top experts, Luo Jian, had already caused an uproar in Ghost Ridge Palace, significantly lowering the morale.

Now seeing Qi Shijian again, this time being brought back as a captive, these naturally cruel Demon Cultivators were eager to punish him harshly.

Not just Disciples; several Secret Realm Elders also watched Qi Shijian.

The chilling murderous intent in their eyes settled on Qi Shijian, causing this once top Disciple of Ghost Ridge Palace to tremble uncontrollably.
