Chapter 2221: Chapter 2220: Entrusted with an Important Task

This major event in Shu State, the two main sects are still silent, but Long Fei and the Shu King have already stolen the limelight.

Here, the news agency isn’t called a news agency; it’s called the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

A disciple from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion interviewed Long Fei, saying, "Friend, why are you betting on the Qingcheng Sect to win? Is there some inside information? You know, everyone has conducted meticulous investigations before the competition. Qingcheng Sect has no chance of winning!"

Long Fei smiled faintly, "That’s right, my wife has a significant connection with Qingcheng Sect. Therefore, we’re betting on Qingcheng Sect."

Someone curiously asked, "What kind of relationship is that? Can you be more specific?"

Long Fei bragged, "Well, my wife is a disciple of the Sect of Severance, and is considered to be of the same lineage as Qingcheng Sect."

"Ah, I see!"

A group of people from Heavenly Mystery Pavilion nodded, holding up their Voice Preserving Stones to carefully record this sensational news.

The Shu King glanced sideways at Wang Xiaoya, startled by the revelation that Wang Xiaoya was a Sect of Severance disciple?

Wang Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, thinking this guy always likes to talk nonsense.

When did she become a disciple of the Sect of Severance?

However, to be honest, when she saw Qingcheng Sect, she indeed felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.

She pondered and thought maybe she was a disciple of the Sect of Severance in her past life!

Every move on the field was projected into the Qingcheng Sect’s main hall through a mirror.

Inside, a few elders exchanged glances, exclaiming, "What is the origin of these two people? Why would they speak for our Qingcheng Sect?"

Someone said, "Perhaps they are indeed related to the Sect of Severance?"

Another sighed, "Maybe our ancestral spirits are worried about Qingcheng Sect’s defeat, so they sent them to aid us."

The Sect Leader sitting in the chief seat frowned tightly, "According to previous rules, we’ll each send three disciples to compete with Mount Shu Sect. Now, Qingcheng Sect only has Suzhen who is confident to win. As for the other two disciples, who should we send? We really have no confidence! I see that these two Daoists are extraordinary. If they’re willing to help us handle a match, no matter what, we might achieve a draw."

An elder frowned, "Would this be okay? Would Mount Shu Sect criticize us?"

The Qingcheng Sect Leader said, "The Sect of Severance is weakened, heavily oppressed by the Exposition Sect. We have no other option but to unite more disciples of the Sect of Severance to deal with Exposition Sect. So, I’ll personally go and invite the two up the mountain. If they agree, we’ll proceed with this plan. If they don’t, we won’t force them."

"Indeed, indeed!"

An elder nodded, "It’s worth a try."

The group made the decision for the Qingcheng Sect Leader, Daoist Fiery Cloud, to personally leave the mountain and invite Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya up.

With a flash, he left the hall, and the next time he appeared was atop Mount Shu’s ship deck.

The Sect Leader appeared, and red clouds filled the four corners.

Everyone was surprised, exclaiming, "The Qingcheng Sect Leader is here!"

"It’s Daoist Fiery Cloud!"

"..."

Seeing this old man, the Shu King couldn’t help but cup his fists in respect, saying, "Greetings to the Sect Leader Fiery Cloud!"

"Greetings to the Shu King!"

Daoist Fiery Cloud slightly bowed and then turned to Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya, asking, "Are you truly disciples of the Sect of Severance?"

Long Fei laughed softly, "There’s no need to lie about something like this; my wife is, but I am not."

Wang Xiaoya had no choice but to follow along, "Indeed, I am a disciple of the Sect of Severance. Today, I traveled here with my husband and heard about your competition, so I am here to support you."

Daoist Fiery Cloud’s eyes were so excited that they turned red, nodding repeatedly, "Indeed, indeed. Our Sect of Severance has weakened, and we haven’t seen fellow disciples for a long time. Please do come up the mountain, I have some words to share with you."

Wang Xiaoya glanced at Long Fei.

Long Fei nodded, knowing what Daoist Fiery Cloud intended.

Under the invitation from old Daoist Fiery Cloud, they left through the void together, stepping off and the next step appeared atop Qingcheng Mountains.

Seeing such skills, everyone cheered.

Someone shouted, "Is this the Sage’s Dimensional Folding Technique?"

"It seems so!"

"These two must possess great dharma power!"

"Well then, it looks like today’s match will have variable factors."

"Isn’t it? If they assist Qingcheng Sect, maybe there’s a chance of winning."

"..."

Someone felt there would definitely be changes in today’s match, while someone sneered, "Stop guessing blindly. Qingcheng Sect’s disciples are dwindling. Even if these two help, other disciples can’t stir up much trouble."

"Indeed, besides only one of them is from the Sect of Severance, only one can assist. Out of three matches, the outcome remains uncertain."

"Qingcheng Sect is shrewdly inviting external aid without shame."

Someone retorted, "You can’t say that; they are all disciples of the Sect of Severance and not outsiders."

"That kid isn’t."

Someone shouted.

Someone said, "He definitely won’t act, and I advise you to be respectful towards him. He donated one hundred billion for disaster victims; how much did you donate?"

This cultivator called out, "What does that matter? That’s just fishing for fame. If I had one hundred billion, I’d donate too."

"Pfft!"

The cultivators on the field disdainfully sneered.

In Qingcheng Sect’s main hall, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya sat inside.

Daoist Fiery Cloud immediately ordered tea to be served, cupping his fists and speaking directly to the two of them, "Time is short, so I’ll be blunt. This competition with Mount Shu seems like a matter between two sects, but it’s actually a struggle of the Great Dao.

Exposition Sect always emphasizes the disciples’ aptitude, refusing anyone with low talent or demons.

Our Sect of Severance teaches without distinction, welcoming anyone with spiritual roots who joins us, supporting their wish to cultivate.

You know this philosophy prompted a great battle with the Exposition Sect, causing the fragmentation of the Human Path, leading to the decline of the Sect of Severance.

Therefore, this battle concerns our Sect of Severance’s survival in Shu Region, we can only win, not lose.

Currently, only one female disciple in our sect can undertake the major task to compete with Mount Shu’s disciples.

We’re still missing two people for the three matches.

You two are connected to our Sect of Severance, could you lend us your support in overcoming these difficulties? If victorious, even achieving a draw, Qingcheng Sect will undoubtedly express our gratitude."

Long Fei guessed correctly; the old man from Qingcheng Sect intended to recruit them.

The old man’s discernment was accurate, knowing their background without having met them.

Wang Xiaoya curiously asked, "How does the Sect Leader know we can win?"

The old man presented a bronze mirror, introducing to them, "This is Qingcheng Sect’s treasured Peering into the Void Mirror. It can observe individuals within a thousand miles, revealing their entire cultivation level. You two have reached the Void Insight Realm, already surpassing all Qingcheng Sect disciples. I am embarrassed to say, among our disciples, only one broke through to the Void Insight Realm this year."

The old man spoke with slight embarrassment, his old face blushing.

Long Fei asked him, "Why has the Sect of Severance declined to such a state? Is it lacking resources or Daoist methods?"

The old man answered, "We lack nothing but disciples. Talented disciples all choose to cultivate at Mount Shu or go to Chang’an Academy, nowhere near our Sect of Severance for cultivation. Those who leave our sect face discrimination outside. Qingcheng Sect’s newly admitted disciples have become worse in quality year by year, and fewer in number, leading to a shortage of talent over generations."
