Asleep for a Hundred and Twenty Thousand Years, My Sect Became the Number One Sect

Daoist Xiantian hesitated, then pointed behind the Eighth Elder to kindly warn him. "Setting aside my own thoughts for the moment, that junior named Yun Zhi doesn't seem to look too kindly on yours." The Eighth Elder turned his head and saw Yun Zhi, looking cold as frost. Yun Zhi said coolly, "Eighth Elder, striving for progress is a good thing. I will report your ambition faithfully to Grandmaster." Cold sweat broke out across the Eighth Elder's brow. If Master found out about this, wouldn't he be thrown into Prison Peak? After all, Prison Peak had plenty of room for one more. "Don't, don't, please! Surely we can talk this through!" The Eighth Elder plastered on an ingratiating smile. "Sit back down." The Eighth Elder scurried back into his seat, throwing his chest out and lifting his chin in textbook posture. Daoist Xiantian leaned to the side and whispered to Lu Yang, who was seated next to him, "I've been wanting to ask: is this junior named Yun Zhi the current Sect Master?" Lu Yang shook his head. "No. But whatever she says, the Sect Master generally obeys." "The Sect Master is that obedient?" "Patriarch, do you know about the Five Great Immortal Sects of today's Great Xia?" "I heard about them while listening to pingshu storytelling." That street corner pingshu was where he had learned that his own sect had become one of the top powers of the present day. "If you tied the leaders of all Five Great Immortal Sects together, they still wouldn't be enough to survive one hand from Eldest Senior Sister." Daoist Xiantian's pupils dilated. Was this junior named Yun Zhi that powerful? He had heard that the abbot of the Hanging Temple was a mighty figure at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just how terrifyingly strong was this junior named Yun Zhi? She was probably among the most exceptional even within the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Meanwhile, Eldest Senior Sister was recounting Daoist Xiantian's experiences following his awakening. When she reached the part where True Monarch Guanqi and his two accomplices tried to rob him of the Golden Cicada Slough, the elders were overcome with righteous indignation, slamming their hands onto the table in rage. "How dare they bully our Patriarch! Those Great Qian cultivators must have a death wish!" "Where are they? Let's go sort them out!" "The imperial court has already captured them." "Break into the prison!" "Yes, yes, yes, let's break into the prison!" To dare bully their Patriarch—they simply had to make those Great Qian cultivators taste the methods of the Dao Seeking Sect. "Utter nonsense!" The Grand Elder was the eldest brother after all; with a single bark of reprimand, the other seven elders fell silent. "We are the eminent leaders of the righteous path! What would breaking into a prison look like? Can't you use your heads and resolve this the proper way?" "Eldest Brother, what do you mean?" "Can't we just commit a crime ourselves to get thrown inside and locked up with True Monarch Guanqi?" "Right, right, right! Eldest Brother's mind is as sharp as ever!" "Brilliant idea!" As the elders gleefully debated how best to commit crimes, listening to these juniors smoothly share criminal techniques, Daoist Xiantian felt that this scene did not resemble a righteous sect in the slightest. "Little Meng, our Dao Seeking Sect really is a righteous sect these days, right?" Meng Jingzhou shook his head steadily. "Depends on the situation. Sometimes we pretend to be a demonic cult too." "Huh?" Seeing the elders in heated discussion, Eldest Senior Sister walked over to Daoist Xiantian. "Patriarch, would you still like to meet the other higher-ups?" "I would." "Very well. Little Junior Brother, Junior Brother Meng, both of you follow along. We are going to Prison Peak." Prison Peak was quite far from the core territory of the Dao Seeking Sect. Daoist Xiantian was still an ordinary mortal right now; walking there would take days. Yun Zhi plucked a cloud from the horizon, had the three of them climb aboard, and flew them to Prison Peak. "What is this place?" Daoist Xiantian asked, feeling the gloomy, bone-chilling cold of Prison Peak. "Prison Peak. Our sect possesses law enforcement authority, so the criminals locked up here are those who violated the laws of Great Xia whom we've crossed paths with in our day-to-day affairs." When the criminals imprisoned within Prison Peak caught sight of Lu Yang, a flicker of terror flashed through their eyes.
