Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 559 - 009: Fame
The Plum Blossom Sect eventually sent people to guard the place, led by the current leader, Zhuge Minghai.
This matter, once spread, immediately caught the attention of those who cared.
Since the great upheaval sixteen years ago, the Wei Kingdom has basically settled down.
The spheres of influence of various families and sects have been basically demarcated.
Cultivation resources, after all, are limited.
Some forces that hadn’t gained enough benefits during the previous chaos naturally turned their eyes to the beneficiaries.
The already declining Plum Blossom Sect naturally entered the sights of some loose cultivators.
Among them, the greatest threat to the Plum Blossom Sect comes from a Void Realm cultivator named Zi Huai Zhenren.
A few years ago, he appeared with injuries, from where no one knew, but as an outsider Void Realm martial artist, he immediately attacked the Plum Blossom Sect’s mountain gate, wanting to occupy the spiritually rich domain there.
Fortunately,
though the Plum Blossom Sect had declined, and the sect hadn’t had a Void Realm Zhenren for years, the sect itself primarily focused on Celestial Secret Divination, expertly studying the art of Qimen Dunjia. The array set up was strong enough that, with the sect disciples’ concerted efforts, it repelled Zi Huai Zhenren’s attack, even using the sect as bait to lure him in and deliver a severe blow.
In the end, Zi Huai Zhenren was heavily wounded and fled in a sorry state.
Thus, a great enmity was formed between them.
Later, Zi Huai Zhenren took over a not-so-large family and, while recuperating in their forbidden area, began gathering loose cultivators from the cultivation world, forming another large loose cultivator power in Sanshui County.
Over the years, the loose cultivator power under Zi Huai Zhenren’s command became increasingly prosperous.
This was one of the reasons for the internal dissent the Plum Blossom Sect faced within the five-sect alliance in recent years.
There’s a saying,
Since the Plum Blossom Sect no longer has a Void Realm Zhenren, it doesn’t deserve to be one of the five major sects and should be replaced by the Boundless Pavilion established by Zi Huai Zhenren years ago.
In the face of external discussions, Zhuge Minghai remained silent, letting the storms outside rage on.
A few days later, Zhuge Minghai led a large number of elite disciples from within the sect to station in Luoyan City.
Some elite disciples, after stabilizing the order in Luoyan City, began to patrol the periphery of the Luoyan Mountain Range.
Soon after, Zhuge Minghai personally led the team to the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts.
His movements revealed,
for a time,
there was a surge of secret undercurrents within Sanshui County.
Many watched, and some began gathering toward Luoyan City.
Martial artists within Sanshui County were waiting,
waiting for a great change to occur.
Or rather, waiting for the Plum Blossom Sect to make a fool of themselves.
The Bixia Sword Sect once had a Supreme Elder of the Void Realm presiding, and they almost got destroyed by a demon beast tide.
A sect within the five-sect alliance, which has always been inconspicuous.
It wouldn’t be long before they would leave in disgrace, right?
However,
the subsequent developments surprised everyone beyond belief.
It was truly shocking.
In no time, half a month had passed.
During this half month, not only did the Plum Blossom Sect not flee from Luoyan City in disgrace, but they thrived under everyone’s strange gazes.
During this period, Zhuge Minghai led the elite disciples of the Plum Blossom Sect to sweep the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range, collecting various cultivation resources in abundance.
A large amount of resources, including various demon beast meats, materials for weapon refinement from demon beast parts, spirit stones found in the wilderness, hundred-year-old spirit medicine, not only brought substantial income to the Plum Blossom Sect but also rapidly increased the strength of the sect’s elite disciples through experience.
With the large output,
Luoyan City thrived as a result.
In this area, there were already quite a few loose cultivator martial artists exploring and collecting various cultivation materials.
Some disciple teams from the Plum Blossom Sect killed some low-tier demon beasts, and besides the valuable materials, the remaining bones and corpses were left behind.
These things were disregarded by the Plum Blossom Sect disciples but became unexpected wealth for a large number of loose cultivator martial artists.
Even the flesh of the low-tier demon beasts was still demon beast flesh.
Selling it in inns, it provided a considerable income for those low-tier Body Refining Realm loose cultivators.
Therefore, many loose cultivators more or less followed behind the Plum Blossom Sect’s hunting teams, picking up the carcasses of demon beasts from the ground.
The Plum Blossom Sect disciples didn’t mind and didn’t drive them away.
Thus, the reputation of the Plum Blossom Sect, through the publicity of these lower-level loose cultivators, began to spread and grow.
Then, one day,
in a relatively deep part of the Luoyan Mountain Range outskirts,
some martial cultivators witnessed,
three core true disciples of the Plum Blossom Sect, at the Condensing Essence Realm, forming an unknown Three Talents Array, cooperating to kill a Sea of Qi Realm demon beast.
This scene undoubtedly shocked all the martial cultivators present!
You must know that in martial arts, starting from Body Refinement, followed by Postnatal Qi Transformation, then Condensing Essence and Opening Acupoints, progressing to the Endless Sea of Qi, reaching the Void Zhenren, then advancing to levels they could never reach.
A Void Realm Zhenren already stands as the pinnacle of the cultivation world in Sanshui County.
A Sea of Qi Realm powerhouse is considered an overlord.
Most loose cultivators roaming the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range were at the Body Refinement or Postnatal Qi Transformation realm, with few at the Condensing Essence Realm, and the Sea of Qi Realm was an existence they could only look up to.
If they accidentally wandered into a Sea of Qi Realm demon beast’s territory in the wild, they could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, hoping that the heavens would spare their life.
That was almost synonymous with being invincible.
Yet,
such an overlord-level demon beast was actually killed by three true disciples of the Plum Blossom Sect in their twenties!
This matter quickly spread through the mouths of loose cultivators.
The fame of those three true disciples stirred the entire Sanshui cultivation realm.
They were called the Plum Blossom Three Heroes, standing alongside the heir disciples of the other four great sects in Sanshui County, becoming outstanding young figures manipulating the winds and clouds in Sanshui County.
As the Plum Blossom Sect operated in the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range,
some cultivation resources were of no concern to the Plum Blossom Sect disciples.
The wealthy Plum Blossom Sect disciples dropped things from their fingers that were enough to drive the loose cultivators surviving in the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range crazy.
Through the mouths of numerous loose cultivators living in the outskirts of the Luoyan Mountain Range, the fame of the Plum Blossom Sect spread even further.
Originally in Sanshui County, the somewhat mysterious and inconspicuous Plum Blossom Sect began to become known to outsiders.
The wondrous arrays,
the miraculous divination martial dao like predicting the enemy’s attack, Celestial Secret Calculation, the mysterious and unpredictable attacks.
These features of the Plum Blossom Sect’s martial arts began to be proclaimed by the loose cultivators watching the battles around them.
This greatly amazed the cultivation realm within Sanshui County.
Unexpectedly, the always low-key Plum Blossom Sect possessed such powerful martial techniques.
Unimpressively, the martial arts of the Plum Blossom Sect also had such unique strengths.
Foreseeing the enemy, unbelievably mysterious!
The Plum Blossom Sect’s presence in Luoyan City did not result in disgraceful escapes but instead amplified the sect’s reputation, prospering.
This aroused endless curiosity, as countless eyes turned towards the Plum Blossom Sect.
