CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 968: THE SECT IS IN TROUBLE

Shi Yaoguang didn’t have the mood to care what an evil demon like Wo Hezhe was thinking.

She had just sensed that something might have happened at the Yaoguang Sect, so she rushed back immediately.

As soon as she stepped into the mountain gate, the scent of blood hit her.

"The scent is so strong, does this mean someone’s gone on a killing spree in the sect?"

Wo Hezhe reasonably speculated.

Without even looking at him, Shi Yaoguang vanished from his sight in a flash.

...

But speaking of.

Since the last time Shi Yaoguang left the Yaoguang Sect, Cheng Lingdang had been thinking that if she had the chance next time, she definitely wanted to follow Shi Yaoguang.

This time, hindered by two burdens, she had to temporarily set aside the idea of going on a journey.

At first, she really was naively thinking.

Zhen Yunjin and Xiao Shanghe were good seedlings Shi Yaoguang had specially picked for her.

But in the end...

Her face was very swollen.

These two, although indeed their bones were good, their talent...

It was really unspeakable.

Other people’s disciples are each more impressive than the last, surpassing their teachers.

Her disciples?

Each weaker than the last.

If it were just this, it wouldn’t really be a big deal.

The key problem is.

They don’t even realize they’re weak.

Every day, just being a little bit stronger than each other makes them want to wag their tails to the sky.

Cheng Lingdang is exhausted.

Having Shen Huan as a comparison makes her even more exhausted.

Shen Huan’s luck was unparalleled.

At first, he fumbled while teaching his disciples, Yin Furong and Lan Ji were making minimal progress.

After Shi Yaoguang personally guided them last time, they improved rapidly, seeming almost as if they were cheating.

Shen Huan felt both the pain and joy.

Seeing himself almost surpassed by his own disciples, isn’t that painful?

But watching Cheng Lingdang’s disciples getting weaker, he couldn’t help feeling smug.

Speaking of disciples, his are much stronger than Cheng Lingdang’s.

On this day.

Just as usual, Shen Huan hummed a tune smugly and went to Cheng Lingdang’s cave residence.

"Elder Cheng, still teaching disciples?"

Shen Huan spoke in a provoking tone, his gaze clearly smug.

Seeing his smug expression, Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "What are you so happy about?"

"Nothing really, but I’m just in a good mood."

Shen Huan twisted his neck, "It’s said that people become energized when good things happen, but even though I haven’t experienced anything special, I’m just happy, happy you know?"

Cheng Lingdang sneered twice, very coldly unwilling to deal with him.

This displeased him a little, "At least I’m here to show concern for you, is this the attitude you give?"

"What kind of attitude do you want? Do you need me to kneel on the ground and thank you politely?"

Shen Huan shrugged, "No need to kneel and thank me, I’m not that kind of person."

He waved his hand, "Just apologize to me."

Cheng Lingdang’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Apologize to you? Why should I apologize?"

"Do you even need to ask why to apologize?"

His attitude was matter-of-fact, "You’ve been neglecting me, apologizing is only natural."

Cheng Lingdang was furious, "You’re dreaming! I’m not going to apologize to you..."

On the side.

Zhen Yunjin and Xiao Shanghe watched them bickering, clicking their tongues.

"They really are a pair of delightful adversaries."

"Such delightful adversaries, if given to you, would you want them?"

"Well..." Xiao Shanghe was stumped by the question, hesitated for a moment then said, "I’m afraid I couldn’t handle it."

Zhen Yunjin dragged his tone meaningfully, "Couldn’t handle it means you indeed want it, but worry you can’t satisfy the other."

Xiao Shanghe’s mouth twitched, "Can you stop twisting my words?"

"Where am I wrong?"

Zhen Yunjin clearly didn’t think he was wrong in any way.

Even if something was wrong, the problem wasn’t with him.

The two bickered away.

At this moment.

The ground under their feet suddenly shook.

All being cultivators, they naturally felt the earth tremor just now.

No.

What they felt wasn’t just the ground shaking.

More so, they felt a sense of danger.

Cheng Lingdang immediately activated the Mountain Protection Array.

This was what Shi Yaoguang had instructed previously.

Though the cultivators in this world were only them, any kind of danger was possible.

If they really encountered any problems, their first task would be self-preservation.

Activating the Mountain Protection Array is the first step of self-preservation.

With the Mountain Protection Array, even if faced with powerful enemies, they could delay for a while.

After the Mountain Protection Array was activated, Cheng Lingdang immediately transmitted a message to caution all the disciples in the sect to be careful and protect themselves.

This was when she began using her Divine Sense to investigate the situation.

Seeing this, Shen Huan followed suit trying to do the same.

But he was stopped by Cheng Lingdang, "Don’t use your Divine Sense."

"Why?"

Shen Huan looked at her puzzled, it didn’t make sense that she could do it, but he couldn’t.

Cheng Lingdang stated firmly, "Forcing the use of Divine Sense is very dangerous."

"With your current cultivation, your Divine Sense can only probe the nearby area, to expand the range would require overexertion, which would cause your Divine Sense to become chaotic, you could become a fool."

Shen Huan certainly knew the consequences of forcing the use of Divine Sense.

He just hadn’t thought it through.

In times of crisis, he couldn’t just act timidly, could he?

"Your cultivation isn’t much higher than mine, whatever you can do, I can too."

Cheng Lingdang became anxious, "Are you stupid, Shen Huan? I dare do this because my Divine Sense is stronger than yours, if you do this, you’ll die!"

Shen Huan’s face showed indifference, "Relax, I won’t die until I surpass you."

Their exchange lasted only a moment.

Soon, their Divine Sense extended separately in different directions.

A moment later.

They both withdrew their sweat-drenched Divine Sense, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Shen Huan spoke first, "What did you see?"

Cheng Lingdang, pale-faced, said fearfully, "I... I only saw a segment of a snake tail..."

If it were just a snake tail, it wouldn’t be remarkable.

But...

That wasn’t an ordinary snake tail!

Cheng Lingdang’s body started trembling at the thought of the snake tail she saw...

Just the tail was taller than her.

Thinking about how big the snake’s body was was simply unimaginable!

Shen Huan’s face was equally pale.

He had investigated in a different direction from Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang saw a snake tail.

He saw a pair of vertical pupils.

Together, it wasn’t hard to deduce what caused the earthquake!

Zhen Yunjin observed their expressions, a bad feeling rose but he hoped for a lucky escape and asked, "What did you see?"

Shen Huan, in a haze, asked an irrelevant question, "Have you seen the social news?"
