Chapter 90: Crying Is Also A Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment the mountain-protecting array formation was broken through, he used the Immortal-tier Wind Speech Incantation to imitate Elder Wan’s voice.

Before he transmitted his voice to his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou had some doubts in his heart.

Sect Leader, he…

Can he do it…

As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, he must have some connection with the founder of the Immortal Du Sect, the Perfected Du’e.

Logically speaking, Sect Leader should be considered a small fry of Ren School.

The battle outside was originally meant to protect the mountain-protecting array. Yet, the array formation was struck by the opponent’s sword!

However, considering that the Sect Leader is fighting against two enemies on his own, and that the three Golden Immortals with unknown origins have the vicious Daoist Wen from the Primordial World behind them…

Sigh, it’s not easy being a Sect Leader.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, made preparations to run away at any time. He made up his mind that even if he was lucky enough to become a Zenith Heaven Immortal in the future, he would never set up a sect and cause karma.

Once the mountain-protecting array formation was broken, there was no longer any barrier in the door.

The Heaven-Breaking Peak seemed to be the center and the safest place, but in reality, it was the most dangerous place.

If the Golden Immortal in the sky were to strike again, he would definitely slash at the main peak!

Therefore, Li Changshou was willing to sacrifice some of his usual concealment methods to prevent his master and junior from appearing on the Heaven-Breaking Peak. He also had to arrange for Ling’e to carry the paper effigies and bring her master to the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to wait.

He hid in order to avoid being plotted against. In the end, he only wanted to be safe.

He could not turn the tables.

With the protection of the three paper effigies, there was no need to worry about Ling’e’s safety.

Li Changshoue had long given Paper Effigy No. 1 and Paper Effigy No. 2 to his master and junior.

After sending the voice transmission to his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou scanned the Heaven-Splitting Peak with his immortal senses and saw young disciples of the same generation…

Looking at the confused and helpless faces, he sighed softly.

I can’t ask too much of others.

I just have to do my best and contribute what I can.

Then, he continued to control the paper effigy and made it travel across the land to rush to the Immortal Du Sect.

…

“It’s broken?”

“The array is broken!”

In front of the Hundred Mortal Hall, the disciples looked at the mountain-protecting array that had exploded and felt the Golden Immortal pressure that had suddenly increased several times. Most of them panicked at that moment.

Youqin Xuanya bit her lips and stood on the eaves of the main hall. She raised her head and looked at the Golden Immortals engaged in the battle in the sky.

The aftershocks of the battle turned into waves that swept over!

On both sides of the south-west and north-west, two immortal wars were getting intense!

Streams of light flashed across the sky, and figures were slowly approaching the Heaven-Breaking Peak…

Based on that situation, the Immortal Du Sect was at a disadvantage.

What should I do?

Youqin Xuanya looked at the jade talisman in her hand. It was the key to opening the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array. It was also the route for the disciples to escape.

If Senior Brother Changshou was here, what would he do?

Yes, he would definitely fight hard against the enemy after sending his juniors out!

She could not help but think that way. She gradually made up her mind.

I must bring the disciples of the same generation out safely without fail. Then, I’ll come back and do my best for the sect!

At that moment, Jiu Wu rushed over with his long sword. He flew over the disciples’ heads and landed in the hall.

Youqin Xuanya turned around and landed on the eaves. She quickly followed him into the hall.

She initially thought that the Perfected Immortal executive of the sect had rushed over in a hurry to prepare to clear up the path for going down and wanted to help Jiu Wu.

However, what Youqin Xuanya and the disciples outside the hall did not expect was…

The short Daoist let out a wail and kowtowed in front of the portrait in the Hundred Mortal Hall…

“Sect Master is supreme!”

“Sect Master is supreme! Please show your might and save the Immortal Du Sect!”

“Immortal Du Sect follows the teachings of the master. It is peaceful and unfettered. We cultivate peacefully and protect the human race. However, we are suffering a disaster for no reason. We have been used by someone who is trying to sow discord among the three sects!”

“Sect Master is supreme!

“Save us!”

Dong-dong-dong-dong. After a few kowtows, Jiu Wu laid on the ground and whimpered.

Youqin Xuanya felt her nose sting when she saw that…

Could it be that the Immortal Du Sect really cannot survive this calamity today?

However, they have only started the battle. Although the mountain-protecting array formation is broken, there are not many injured immortals or casualties on our side. The Heaven-Breaking Peak still being guarded by a huge array, we have not been attacked…

This executive is crying as if we are about to be wiped out?

Youqin Xuanya was at a loss as well.

Jiu Wu lowered his head and cried for a while. He did not feel anything in his heart and did not feel like he was being watched…

The short Daoist lifted his head and looked at the portrait. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and repeated the “scripted lines” that he had just said.

Many disciples rushed to the entrance of the hall and heard Jiu Wu crying. Most of them looked sad.

At the same time, on the other side…

Li Changshou had been secretly controlling the four paper effigies. He had quickly completed the preparations to take down the enemy troops.

The four original paper dolls required nearly ten times the amount of paper required by the ‘Heaven’ paper effigies.

He carried the immortal power that he had previously injected, as well as his colorless and odorless poisonous pill powder that was of the highest level.

He quietly hid underground, slowly moving forward as the battle progressed…

During such an intense battle, the four paper dolls would be instantly killed if they appeared.

He had to be patient and wait patiently for the right time!

Only by maximizing the effects of the four paper dolls would they be able to live up to the expectations of the old trees!

Launching sneak attacks was about being bold, careful, and ruthless.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect on both sides were fighting and retreating as Li Changshou had predicted.

That gave Li Changshou the opportunity he was waiting for.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were very united in the big “armed melee battle”.

If someone was injured, they would definitely be dragged to the back. The fellow disciples who had spare energy would also quickly assist them.

However, it was also because of that mutual support that many immortals could not fully unleash their powers. They could only retreat continuously.

Six peaks have already been lost in the outer mountains. Although not many immortals from the Immortal Du Sect died due to the mutual support, half of them were injured…

The mosquito puppets were on the other extreme end.

They did not care about each other’s lives and only focused on attacking.

Just like a group of ferocious beasts that were mentally connected, they worked well together, hoping to unleash their full power in a short period of time.

Li Changshou sighed and thought…

Daoist Wen is really something.

At this moment, he did not have the right opportunity. Li Changshou could not help but be distracted. He used his immortal senses to scan the person who was most important in the battle— Jiu Wu.

There was only one way to resolve the crisis of the Immortal Du Sect from the root. There was only one way to prevent the Western Sect or other factions from plotting against the Immortal Du Sect.

To get the big shot to appear!

If Jiu Wu cried at the moment that the Immortal Du Sect was on the brink of death, and got a few experts of Ren School to attack, not only would the Immortal Du Sect be able to overcome the crisis, they would also be free from worries in the future!

However…

Li Changshou sensed for a while and frowned.

His Uncle-Master Jiu Wu kept whimpering and wailing. It could really make those who heard and saw him feel melancholic, but the people around the portrait… did not waver.

Was he not crying hard enough?

Not enough people?

Or did the lines not work?

Li Changshou quickly pondered in his head. He did not forget to pay attention to the battle between the two sides. He controlled the paper effigy to follow them secretly.

Jiu Wu cried again. There were no Dao runes around the portrait.

Very quickly, Li Changshou, who was hiding in the darkness, made a decision. He cast the Immortal-tier Wind Speech Incantation and secretly transmitted his voice to Youqin Xuanya, who was standing at the door.

“Junior Sister Youqin, let’s talk outside the hall.”

Youqin Xuanya was stunned at first. Then, she turned around and left the hall without any hesitation.

Li Changshou transmitted his voice, “I heard Uncle-Master Jiu Wu crying inside. I suddenly thought that this might be a way to save us. However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s crying method is wrong.”

“I’m just a small fry so no one is going to take me seriously.. As the Head Disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, are you willing to give it a try? If you are, just nod.”

Youqin Xuanya immediately nodded. She scanned her surroundings but could not find Li Changshou.

All of a sudden, the disciples heard a loud sound above them. All the disciples looked up immediately and saw that the clouds were flashing with light and lightning. Waves of Primordial Energy surged downwards.

The two hundred-odd Essence Immortals outside the main hall all unleashed their immortal powers. They used simple array formations to create a barrier formed from immortal power, preventing the disciples from being hit by the aftershocks of the battle.

They heard another roar. A divine beast that was shrouded in purple flames suddenly appeared in the clouds!

It raised its head and roared. The flames around it swept in all directions, forcing the hostile Golden Immortals in front of it to retreat!

It was awe-inspiring and unparalleled!

However, there was a wisp of black Qi lingering around the divine beast, making it look a little weak and feeble.

The Immortal Du Sect’s Elder Qi Ling had already transformed into his main body!

Youqin Xuanya heard Li Changshou’s warning and frowned.

Li Changshou asked, “Do you remember my instructions? If you can remember clearly, nod hard.”

Youqin Xuanya nodded hard.

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Remember not to utter a single word. Remember to bear these words in mind with your essence soul.”

“Don’t say that I told you about this later. Just say that you felt something!”

Youqin Xuanya nodded gently. She was already very impressed by Li Changshou’s excellent morals and character.

Li Changshou continued, “Next, find an emotion to make your emotions come from the bottom of your heart and think about things that will make you sad and angry.”

A devastating matter that evokes emotions from the bottom of the heart…?

Youqin Xuanya was a little confused. Under Li Changshou’s guidance, she quickly tried to find that feeling.

She seemed to have nothing to be sad about. Her family was doing well and her cultivation was smooth. Her master treated her very well too.

Youqin Xuanya hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, I can’t think of anything!”

Her voice was rather loud, and the surrounding disciples looked over.

Youqin Xuanya immediately turned around and faced the hall.

Li Changshou’s voice lingered in her ears. He still sounded like he was not in a hurry. “Don’t be anxious. At times like this, the more anxious you are, the more prone you are to mess up.”

“Um… Think of something immediately. Something that you love most, it can be a pet or something like that.”

Youqin Xuanya muttered, “Can I think about the spiritual beast you gave me?”

“Yes, very good. Take note of your emotions. Imagine that it is swaying its tail gently in front of you. Then…”

“It was suddenly hit by a mountain rock and unfortunately passed away. Its head was bleeding. It was extremely miserable. You buried it.”

Youqin Xuanya bit her lips lightly. The scene of her burying the little spiritual beast surfaced in her heart. She felt guilty and her expression was extremely gloomy.

However, Li Changshou soon realized that her emotions were pure sadness and lacked anger.

Hence, Li Changshou added,

“Then, you didn’t pay attention for a while and suddenly realized later that the spiritual beast’s corpse had been stolen. You’ve been searching for its traces all the way while slowly advancing…”

Youqin Xuanya subconsciously took a step forward and entered the hall once again. Li Changshou’s voice was like a demonic voice that affected her mind.

He said, “Someone dug it out and roasted it.”

Youqin Xuanya’s eyes were filled with grief and indignation.

In the darkness, Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission.

“That’s right! Keep this up! Continue feeling those emotions! Go to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s side!”

“After lighting up three incense sticks, kowtow thrice and say those words!”

Youqin Xuanya took a deep breath and immediately took a step forward. Li Changshou instantly dispelled the Wind Speech Incantation.

He did not dare to enter the hall with his immortal senses and only observed from afar.

Youqin Xuanya, the Head Disciple of the younger generation of the Immortal Du Sect, walked around the sobbing Jiu Wu, picked up three purple incense sticks, lit them up, and placed them in the incense burner.

Then, she took two steps back and knelt on the meditation cushion beside Jiu Wu. She lowered her head and kowtowed thrice.

Jiu Wu turned his head to take a look. He was confused.

Her long hair was a little messy, and her icy-blue dress blossomed like a lotus flower. She had a miserable expression…

“I’m a disciple of the Dao Sect, Xuanya. I hereby greet you, the Grand Pure One of the three sects!”

“The Immortal Du Sect had passed down the Inaction Sutras, which were used as the foundation of the sect. The Grand Pure One had taken the position as the founder of the orthodox Dao Sect.”

“Today, the demons from outside plotted against us and sowed discord between the disciples. They have evil intentions, and they have no previous feud with the Immortal Du Sect! The Immortal Du Sect did not provoke these demons! Please take a look, Saint!”

Then, Youqin Xuanya knelt down once again and started to read the first volume of the Inaction Sutra.

Jiu Wu was stunned. Why does it feel like… what I just said was more advanced than what I had just now…

This time…

As Youqin Xuanya recited the second line of the Inaction Sutra, the portrait in front of her shook slightly.

Indescribable, undetectable, and obscure Dao runes floated out from the portrait and disappeared from the portrait!
