Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 226 - 138: When the Enemy Arrives, Run First and Ask Later
"Another hour should be about right."
Chu Ning was originally cultivating the Flame Divine Wood Technique indoors, but as the time slowly approached, even with his considerable resilience, he could no longer concentrate on his cultivation.
He got up and left the Cultivation Room, taking a look at the sky outside.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
At this moment, the sound of a giant bell suddenly echoed throughout the Cyan Creek Sect.
It rang ten times before it finally stopped.
Chu Ning’s expression changed slightly, as ten bell tolls signify the sect is facing a strong enemy.
Originally, Chu Ning planned to take a stroll nearby as dusk approached.
Then wait until nightfall to leave discreetly when it wasn’t too noticeable.
He planned to rely on Ling Xiaobai’s forbidden breaking divine techniques to sneak out from the sect’s restrictions.
"Why has a strong enemy suddenly appeared?"
As this thought flashed through Chu Ning’s mind, a commanding voice sounded above the entire sect.
"All disciples of the Cyan Creek Sect, quickly assemble at each dojo."
Chu Ning recognized it immediately as the voice of Black-faced Elder Zhu.
"The sect faces a strong enemy, so why isn’t Sect Leader Xin Wuya taking action, but it’s Elder Zhu who is gathering us?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Chu Ning’s mind, but his face was already stern and heavy as water.
When the sect is faced with a strong enemy, not only will the Sect Protection Array be strengthened.
But if you don’t head to the dojo, someone will specifically come looking for you. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"I can’t worry about all that now; better to escape first and deal with the rest later."
At this moment, Chu Ning gritted his teeth slightly, no longer planning to wait.
He walked directly towards the cave mansion’s exit, unaware if there were enemies by the Array Protection Sect at the moment.
Yet Chu Ning had no choice but to go and try first, maybe have Ling Xiaobai scout the path.
"Chu Ning!"
Just as Chu Ning opened the cave mansion’s door to leave, a figure suddenly appeared before him—it was none other than Xin Wuya’s disciple He Litao.
"Junior Martial Uncle He."
Seeing He Litao, Chu Ning’s heart sank with a vague sense of unease.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard He Litao’s indifferent voice:
"The Master orders, with enemies at the doorstep, your cultivation is still too weak; first, take refuge in his cave mansion."
Chu Ning was already cursing in his heart, but his face looked righteous and indignant as he said:
"Uncle, it’s not necessary. If there are enemies at the gates, I wish to contribute my share to the sect too."
"With your realm, one more or one less makes no difference." He Litao frowned slightly.
"Let’s go, stop with the nonsense, there are others waiting."
Hearing He Litao say this, Chu Ning sighed inwardly at his bad luck.
At this point, he could only obediently follow He Litao towards Xin Wuya’s cave mansion.
While contemplating how to handle what was to come.
Uncertain of who exactly the so-called enemy this time was, could it be the Yin Demon Sect again?
He heard that last time the Sect Protection Array nearly couldn’t hold them off; this time, would it indeed not withstand them?
If that happened, countless Low Tier Disciples in the sect would meet a tragic fate.
Everyone in the sect was in grave danger, and hiding in Xin Wuya’s cave mansion might not necessarily be safe.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
The two flew swiftly through the air towards Xin Wuya’s cave mansion, almost arriving.
At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, as if something had blocked the light.
Chu Ning instinctively looked up, and his face was instantly filled with dread.
Above the sect, a gigantic bird-shaped demon beast had suddenly appeared in the sky.
The beast was immense, and even from a great distance, Chu Ning and the others could clearly see its outline.
Its entire body was jet black, without a trace of another color, save for its eyes, as large as barrels, which gleamed blood-red beneath.
On its wide back, a number of people could be seen standing, indistinctly.
"Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow!"
Beside Chu Ning, He Litao’s expression changed slightly, muttering in a low voice.
Hearing his words, Chu Ning’s expression also grew somber.
The Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow is a Sixth Level Demon Beast comparable to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, primarily originating from the Biyou Mountain Range.
The identity of the visitors was thus self-evident.
"Disciples of the Cyan Creek Sect, listen up."
Just as Chu Ning was pondering this, a loud voice suddenly echoed from the sky.
"Hand over the disciples who have obtained the Spirit Charm of the Qi Cultivation Stage, or be exterminated!"
Hearing this, Chu Ning’s expression shifted drastically.
"So it’s targeting me and the others."
"Let’s go!" He Litao’s face also carried a few more shades of seriousness, quickly leading Chu Ning into Xin Wuya’s cave mansion.
Vaguely, Chu Ning saw Black-faced Elder Zhu, Elder Mu the Silver-haired Elder, and the red-robed Elder Gui soar into the sky.
"Yin Demon Sect, do not bully us too much; last time, the Spirit Seed was given to you, it was your own incompetence.
Now you come again; do you truly believe that the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range has no one?"
Elder Mu the Silver-haired Elder loudly reprimanded.
The next moment, the voice of the Yin Demon Sect cultivator rang out again.
"Stop your nonsense; your Grand Sect Leader Xin has been stalled outside, and with only you three Golden Core cultivators, hoping to resist is nothing but wishful thinking.
Surrender the disciples who have acquired the Spirit Charm, or this Cyan Creek Sect will be erased from the Cultivation Realm."
...
From then on, Chu Ning could no longer hear a thing.
Within Xin Wuya’s cave mansion, some kind of restriction blocked out the sounds from outside.
As Chu Ning entered the main hall of the cave mansion, he found that he was not alone; six disciples were already there.
Three had the cultivation of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, while the other three had reached the Qi Refining Perfection Realm.
