Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1979: Infiltration
In the eyes of the disciples of the Cold Flame Sect, the sect’s dual formations of concealment and attack are flawless barriers.
This is because, since the establishment of the Cold Flame Sect over tens of thousands of years, there has never been a single flaw.
Even if a cultivator or spirit beast were to occasionally stumble into their concealment formation, they would be instantly shredded by the subsequent attack array, posing no threat to the safety of the Cold Flame Sect.
Therefore, at the entrance of the Cold Flame Sect, though there is no one guarding, the disciples of the Cold Flame Sect feel completely at ease.
Moreover, among the tens of thousands of disciples in the Cold Flame Sect, the weakest are experts of the third level of the Heavenly Tribulation. Any one of them could release their divine sense to scan the entrance, making the presence or absence of guards nearly irrelevant.
However, in Fang Bai’s eyes, even an ordinary Immortal Rank Formation does not pose any obstacle to him.
"Huh? Where did Brother Fang Bai go? How did he suddenly disappear?"
After Fang Bai leapt down from the Snow Peak and flew towards the entrance of the Cold Flame Sect, he suddenly vanished, as if evaporating into thin air, making Xiao Ying exclaim in surprise.
Among the four people remaining on the Snow Peak, Liu Qingqing knew Fang Bai the best and explained: "Brother Fang Bai is proficient in concealment techniques that can hide his form and aura, merging with the surrounding scenery. Unless he encounters an opponent much stronger than himself, it is almost impossible to notice his presence."
"For such a young Palace Master to understand such profound cultivation methods and techniques—this is the kind of talent they call a monstrous prodigy, isn’t it?"
The Flood Dragon Venerable’s eyes shone with admiration as he clicked his tongue in praise.
For the Flood Dragon Venerable, who is already a member of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, the stronger Fang Bai’s abilities are, the greater the possibility he could help him ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, bringing him delight.
"Elder Flood Dragon, even you can’t detect the Palace Master’s whereabouts?"
Shao Qingyun seeing the Flood Dragon Venerable seemingly searching for Fang Bai, could not help but inquire.
He thought that with the Flood Dragon Venerable having the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation cultivation, and though Fang Bai is formidable, he is ultimately only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Tribulation, even if tacit in concealment skills, it would be tough to avoid the Flood Dragon Venerable’s divine sense detection.
Yet, reality seemed different; strong as the Flood Dragon Venerable was, he too could not locate Fang Bai.
The Flood Dragon Venerable shook his head and said: "The Palace Master’s mystical arts are profound and unpredictable; when he hides, I cannot find him."
Xiao Ying originally had some concerns about Fang Bai, worried that he might encounter danger entering the Cold Flame Sect alone, but the words of the Flood Dragon Venerable turned her worry to joy.
"If even Uncle Flood Dragon, a ninth-level Heavenly Tribulation expert, can’t find Brother Fang Bai, then the experts of the Cold Flame Sect should also find it difficult, right? So, Brother Fang Bai would be very safe, wouldn’t he?"
Xiao Ying asked the Flood Dragon Venerable.
The Flood Dragon Venerable shook his head and replied: "Hard to say. The Cold Flame Sect has elites of the Half-Immortal Rank, and their strength is much more formidable than mine..."
Seeing Xiao Ying show a worried look again, he stroked his beard and smiled cheerfully: "But you don’t need to worry too much. The Palace Master is not a reckless person; if he dares to venture alone, he must have full confidence. As long as he is cautious enough, he will surely return safely."
Xiao Ying patted her chest and exhaled a long breath, saying: "Hearing Uncle Flood Dragon say that, I am relieved!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable and others did not know that on his approach to the entrance of the Cold Flame Sect, Fang Bai concealed all his aura, blending swiftly with the scenery. Not to mention the Flood Dragon Venerable, even a Half-Immortal Rank expert would find it hard to sense his presence without coming within a hundred feet of Fang Bai.
Relying on his top-notch concealment techniques, Fang Bai easily reached the entrance of the Cold Flame Sect and, within a dozen breaths, decoded the concealment formation and attack array, entering the Cold Flame Sect.
Without the concealment formation’s cover, the Cold Flame Sect is actually several adjoining enormous valleys amidst the infinite, continuous snowy mountains, with each valley housing white buildings as if sculpted from ice and snow.
These structures are varied in height, with some large and others small, all exquisitely crafted and strikingly beautiful, so much so they seem like a fantastic icy and snowy world from afar.
Inside the valley, the temperature is much colder than outside, making it difficult for those below the third level of the Heavenly Tribulation to withstand such extreme cold.
However, the numerous disciples of the Cold Flame Sect, having cultivated the sect’s specially inherited methods, have bodies very resistant to cold, allowing them to survive here.
Once inside the Cold Flame Sect, Fang Bai was on high alert, refraining from casually releasing his divine sense to explore his surroundings, for fear of being sensed by the Sect Master of the Cold Flame Sect, Hanwei.
Although Fang Bai is skilled and courageous, he understands that being besieged by formidable individuals from a super sect would make it challenging to escape.
Thus, his venture into the Cold Flame Sect to investigate must be conducted with utmost caution.
Fang Bai held his breath, aligning his state with the surroundings as closely as possible, then slowly approached the gigantic buildings within the valleys, observing them carefully with the naked eye.
"Xiao Ying mentioned that her master, Luo Yun, and Yaorao were both taken by the Cold Flame Sect Master, Hanwei personally, which means Hanwei values them greatly. It seems that to find Yaorao, I must first locate Hanwei!"
Recalling the words Xiao Ying had shared when they met, Fang Bai slowly headed towards the most massive and majestic structure among the enormous valleys.
Typically, in a sect, the largest and most majestic building is the sect’s main hall.
And only the sect master has the right to reside in the main hall.
If that building is indeed where Hanwei, the Cold Flame Sect Master, resides, then Fairy Xuanbing, Luo Yun, and Qin Yaorao, whom he personally took, are likely inside the hall, guarded by Hanwei himself.
Fang Bai concealed himself behind a large rock several miles from the Sect Master Hall of the Cold Flame Sect, observing patiently.
For an entire day, the doors of the Sect Master Hall of the Cold Flame Sect remained tightly shut, without any sign of the sect master, Hanwei.
Worried for Qin Yaorao’s safety, Fang Bai’s patience began waning, prompting him to release his divine sense to probe the movements within the other building complexes of the Cold Flame Sect, temporarily avoiding the Sect Master Hall, to prevent alerting Hanwei and exposing himself.
Suddenly, Fang Bai overheard a conversation between two direct disciples of the Cold Flame Sect in an isolated courtyard.
"It’s said that the Sect Master has been diligently cultivating recently, and once he reaches his peak state, he will take those two women as furnace cauldrons for dual cultivation."
"That older woman, though advanced in years, still exudes charm; and the younger one is a stunningly captivating little beauty."
"That’s not all! According to a high-ranked member of the sect, the two women that the Sect Master took, both have innate spiritual roots and a primordial Yin physique... hehehe, the Sect Master will certainly enjoy them!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Innate spiritual root and primordial Yin physique, they are rare and precious for cultivation. If the Sect Master is satisfied, wouldn’t it be great if we could also experience that?"
"Dream on! Above us, there are a dozen high-rank members; we wouldn’t have a chance!"
...
The two direct disciples of the Cold Flame Sect were discussing their sect master, the Fairy Xuanbing, Luo Yun, and Qin Yaorao.
