Chapter 399 – Secret passage

After Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi left using the Earth Escape Glyph, they did not set a meeting place. The two of them knew that the two of them had already been noticed by the Ouyang Family, if they still moved together, it was extremely possible that they would be suspected. Furthermore, they had stirred up sucuge mess, so the most important thing was naturally to escape.

But Yang Junshan obviously had other plans!

The moment the forbidden array of the Heaven-Shaking Peak came close to cultivators, it would cause a large scale backlash, but right now, Yang Junshan’s cultivation had already reached the great perfection of the martial arts realm, so there was not much time left for him to explore the ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak.

In a shrubbery forty miles southeast of Heaven-Shaking Peak, Yang Junshan sprung up from the shrubbery and vigilantly looked around. Only after he discovered that there were no people around him, did he finally relax.

It was said that after mastering the Earth Escape Technique, one could at least escape fifty miles underground and still grasp the general direction. Using the Earth Escape Glyph would only allow one to travel thirty miles, and the direction wasn’t very good.

Perhaps it was because Yang Junshan had mastered half of the Earth Escape Technique, or perhaps it was because the cultivation technique he was cultivating was an extremely authentic Earth Elemental Art. Even though it was his first time using a talisman, when he appeared from underground, he was already forty miles away.

Furthermore, in the process of escaping underground, he had even tried to adjust his direction, and he had actually succeeded. When he appeared again, he had already saved a large amount of travel effort by going to Yu Cheng.

After changing his appearance a little, he looked around to determine his surroundings, and then Yang Junshan actually once again returned to the Yu Cheng.

At this time, the news of the seal residual array outside of the Heaven-Shaking Peak being affected by the chaotic battle had not spread out yet, so naturally no one knew about the cause of the collapse of Yang Junshan and Yang Junshan.

However, when he returned to the Yu Cheng, he did hear some news about the various great sects in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, one after another, after they had been annihilated.

Before the Heaven-Shaking Peak had collapsed, Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Adept Qing Shu and Qin Cai had brought oveundred Heaven-Shaken Sect disciples and suddenly appeared in the Yu Cheng. After that, they fled towards the south, where there were constantly cultivators rushing over from the Yu Cheng and the other Heaven-Shaking Peak s. At the most, there were nearly three hundred groups of people running away, and even Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Shi Tai had escaped.

After that, they were attacked by all sorts of fierce beasts. When Adept Qing Shu and the rest, along with the remaining Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators, rushed to the Chenyu County, they once again returned to their original size of a hundred people. However, the remaining hundred or so people, without exception, were all extremely loyal to the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

When Adept Qing Shu led the remnants of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s forces to the Chenyu County, the three Heaven-Shaken Sect Dao Masters from Jinyu County and Mengyu County did not come to meet them.

When the various big sects of the Yuzhou had ganged up and attacked the Heaven-Shaking Peak, Sirius Gate and Opening Spirit School had joined hands to attack the Mengyu County. However, they were surprised to find that the prepared Mengyu County had forced Spiritual Master Chen Ji, the Jinyu County, the Sunset Ridge who was guarding the mines and the Patriarch of the Mengyu County, Ning Shijie, to retreat, causing numerous casualties for the disciples of the two sects.

However, when the news of Heaven-Shaking Peak’s collapse spread, the disciples of the two counties all panicked. Even though the few Spiritual Masters of the two counties did their best to pacify them, there were still many people who secretly left the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

Just at this moment, Sirius Gate and Opening Spirit School Yuan Fei who had returned from Heaven-Shaking Peak, under the guidance of the two Profound Handle Spirit Masters, the two sects once again sent out people to attack Mengyu County together.

In the Sunset Ridge’s mine, many Spiritual Masters from both sides had fought a great battle. This time, the reinforcements of the Sirius Gate and the Sirius Gate had the upper hand, and the Adept Qing Yi had fallen under the control of Spiritual Master Cheng Shi Ting’s Spirit Weapon, while Spiritual Master Cheng Shi Ting had also been severely injured by the Adept Qing Yi on his deathbed. The other three Spiritual Masters, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, Spiritual Master Ning Shi Jie and the Adept Zhu were all injured as well, so the three Spiritual Masters could only choose to retreat, while the Sunset Ridge’s mine was under the control of the two sects.

However, before the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side retreated, Spiritual Master Chen Ji seemed to have predicted this would happen and sent people to destroy all of the mines in the main vein of the Sunset Ridge in advance. If he wanted to restore them, it would take at least two years.

When the Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators who had been left behind to defend Mengyu and Chen Yu were forced to retreat, the survivors from the Heaven-Shaken Sect entered the Chenyu County, and there were two sky-shaking battles at the western borders of the Chenyu County.

Although many people were aware of the commotion caused by the battle, they did not know who was on the two sides. However, after the battle, there waumor that the Vatican Sect had suddenly entered a state of martial law, and it seemed that a Spirit Gathering Cultivator from the Tan Xi Sect did not return from the Heaven-Shaking Peak. Soon after, at the border of the Vatican County and Tan Xi County, small scale conflicts between the two sides began one after another, and it seemed like they were becoming more and more intense.

When the two sects returned to their respective sects, they quickly announced that the two Spiritual Masters would be training in seclusion to break through to the Taihang Realm. The Yuxian and the would be split up and occupied by their respective sects.

There were five great sects next to the Great Yu County. Originally, with the help of the powerful Bi Family’s cultivators from the Great Yu County, the Five Elements Sect would definitely be the largest beneficiary of the five great sects.

Unfortunately, during the Heaven-Shaking Peak battle, Spiritual Master Bi had fallen. Lou Yuan was severely injured at first, but was unable to escape from the forbidden array. The Five Elements Sect fell from the clouds and became the largest one of the Five Great Sects in the Lin Prefecture.

During the competition for Yu County Si, the Five Origin Sects were suppressed by the other four sects. Not only were they unable to reap the benefits from Yu County Si, but they had also lost a lot of their own profits in the Lin Province.

However, the Jingyang Sect and the Xuan Ji Sect had both suffered losses when the Heaven-Shaking Peak had collapsed. The Zhuge family was still the head of the three big factions in the Lang County and on the surface, no one dared to offend the Zhuge family.

When the Yu Cheng heard this news, Yang Junshan finally understood. Back then, when the Heaven-Shaken Sect was annihilated, the various large sects of the Yuzhou had combined their power and power to look like they had the power to win, but in reality, they had probably paid a large price.

In the end, only three of thhat were left to defend managed to escape. However, during the process of encirclement and annihilation, three or four of the Spirit Masters also died, after which, the forbidden array was activated, causing the Heaven-Shaking Peak to suddenly collapse and bury four or five of the Spirit Masters.

It could be said that the price paid by the combined forces of the various powers in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world to encircle and annihilate the Heaven-Shaken Sect had far exceeded their expectations.

The Sunset Ridge had already been taken over by the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School together, even though the remaining forces of the Heaven-Shaken Sect had already reunited with Spiritual Master Chen Ji and the others, they seemed to still be quite strong.

But aside from the Adept Qing Shu, the only other cultivator of the Profound Handle Stage, only one of the five Adept Zhad reached the Gangli Accumulation Realm, and they were all injured in the battle of the Sunset Ridge, so other than Qin Cai, all the other four Spiritual Masters were injured, especially Spiritual Master Chen Ji, who had the heaviest injuries, and were unable to recover for a short period of time.

When the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School occupy the mines of the Sunset Ridge, they would not rest either and continue to advance towards the depths of the Mengyu County. When the Heaven-Shaken Sect and the Opening Spirit School occupy the mines of the Sunset Ridge, they would not rest either and they would continue to advance towards the depths of the Mengyu County.

Yang Junshan pondered over the current situation of the Yang Family while slowly walking on the streets of Yu Cheng, and unknowingly, he had already arrived near a large manor in the south of the city.

Regarding the matter of how Adept Qing Shu brought more than a hundred Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators to flee from Heaven-Shaking Peak, in his previous life, the Yuzhou’s cultivation world had always had different opinions about it.

It was only until many years later, when the group of cultivators who came to the Heaven-Shaking Peak to explore discovered a secret passage in a large manor in Yu Cheng that was losing every day, and this passage actually connected directly to the interior of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. Even the influence of the forbidden array on this secret passage was negligible, and that was how the Adept Qing Shu unraveled the mystery of how to lead more than a hundred Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators out of the Heaven-Shaking Peak.

After the news spread out, the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins, which had been explored for more than ten years and had been gradually calming down, became lively once more. It once again became the climax of the exploration for the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s ruins.

Through this secret passage, the progress on the exploration of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Ruins had progressed by a lot, because this secret passage led directly to the center of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s upper echelons, thus, the treasures discovered during this exploration would be of a much higher grade.

Because this manor belonged to the Ouyang Family, in his previous life, before the fall of the Ouyang Family, no one had ever come to investigate. Furthermore, the Ouyang Family did not know that the Adept Qing Shu and the others had actually escaped from their property in broad daylight.

Yang Junshan walked around the manor, and upon realizing that there weren’t many cultivators of the Ouyang Family that were stationed here, and that the security wasn’t extremely tight either, and that no one was paying attention to him, Yang Junshan leaned against a wall in a corner, and then merged into the wall in the shadows.

Although Yang Junshan wasn’t able to successfully cultivate the Earth Escape Technique in such a short period of time, he was at least able to use some of the simpler spells, such as the three sacred arts of the Earth Escape Technique: Earth Naming, Wall Piercing and Fossil.

Within the villa, Yang Junshan’s entire person was struggling free from the wall. With his current strength, as long as the Adept Realm Cultivator did not personally attack, it would not be easy for her to detect him.

After easily avoiding the Ouyang Family cultivators guarding the manor, Yang Junshan quickly arrived in front of a fake mountain in the middle of the backyard.
