Chapter 613: Chapter 606 Black Water Immortal Mountain
“You’re not serving as a Guest Elder anymore and are establishing a cave mansion outside?”
Ouyang Ming and Wuya, along with a few others, exchanged puzzled glances.
They wanted to say something, but despite opening their mouths, they ultimately remained silent.
In the Bloodthirsty Sect, the position of a Guest Elder was inherently very free.
The Bloodthirsty Sect provided those Guest Elders only with a mission platform; if those Guest Elders wanted benefits, they first had to complete various assignments issued within the Sect.
Strictly speaking, their relationship with the Bloodthirsty Sect was merely a collaboration.
If other Guest Elders, like Chen Hai, had been Guest Elders for several years and never accepted any tasks, it was likely that the Bloodthirsty Sect would have already terminated the collaboration and expelled them from the Sect.
Among the many Guest Elders, Chen Hai was clearly an exception.
However, his strength was there for all to see; as long as he did not cause significant damage to the Sect’s foundation, Ouyang Ming, Wuya, and the others always turned a blind eye.
Originally, the reason Ye Qingqing had been able to succeed as Sect Master was precisely because the high-ranking members of the Sect wanted to win Chen Hai over!
At this moment, Chen Hai did not wish to stay within the Sect any longer but chose to establish a cave mansion outside…
Regarding this, Ouyang Ming, Wuya, and the others were undoubtedly very reluctant to see it happen.
But no matter how reluctant they were, what could they do?
The Chen Hai before them was an unparalleled powerhouse who could kill them with a slap; in front of him, did they, the weak, even have a right to speak?
On the other side, after greeting them, Chen Hai simply ignored them.
In the void, that Giant Peak was still slowly descending.
With the mountain range beneath his feet as the foundation, there wasn’t much he needed to do—just to ensure that the Giant Peak could land steadily on it.
“Since it’s not an enemy attack but Senior Chen establishing a cave mansion, let’s go back to the Sect and discuss this at length!”
Seeing Chen Hai’s demeanor, Ouyang Ming and the others seemed to realize that whatever they said would be futile.
After exchanging glances, they nodded at each other.
Except for Ouyang Ming, who continued to stay and watch, the rest of them shot toward the location of the Bloodthirsty Sect’s mountain gate.
“Since it’s not a major enemy attack and to avoid unnecessary panic, seal the mountain gate, no unrelated persons are allowed in or out!”
Upon landing in front of the huge archway at the entrance, Wuya scanned the surroundings and gave the order.
Although Chen Hai was originally a Guest Elder of the Bloodthirsty Sect, by placing his cave mansion just outside their mountain gate, such an act was definitely an embarrassment to the Bloodthirsty Sect.
Want to stop him? Wuya and the others were powerless.
If they did nothing, how would the members below view these high-ranking officials of the Sect?
Sealing the mountain gate was to preserve their dignity as well as to more effectively pacify the hearts of the people.
“I’ll handle the sealing of the mountain gate, Brother Wuya.”
“I’m stationed here, and I guarantee, without our permission, not even a fly can leave the mountain gate!”
Wuya’s proposal was met with approval, and everyone nodded approvingly.
The Supreme Elder Zhao Wushen took the initiative to take on this task.
“With Senior Brother Zhao taking charge, I’m naturally at ease!”
The current Wuya had already stepped down from the position of Sect Master, and his status, just like Zhao Wushen’s, was merely that of a Supreme Elder.
However, in terms of strength, he, who had just entered the Nine Realms Heavenly Tribulation not long ago, was undoubtedly lacking compared to Zhao Wushen, an experienced Heavenly Tribulation veteran.
Since Zhao Wushen had already taken on this task, it would be inappropriate for him to say much more.
“Where is Sect Master Ye? What is she busy with? With such a big event happening, why hasn’t she shown up?”
Not far away, many more people were alarmed by the commotion outside the mountain gate, flying towards the location.
Seeing Wuya and Zhao Wushen, those people quickly stopped and respectfully bowed to them.
Frowning and scanning among the crowd, Wuya was visibly displeased, and he snorted softly.
In front of Chen Hai, these people simply couldn’t have their say.
Perhaps the only chance to get Chen Hai to change his mind and stay within the Sect, forgoing the establishment of a cave mansion outside the Sect, was to have Ye Qingqing step in.
“Supreme Elder Wuya, the Sect Master just obtained a Longevity King Fruit that can extend one’s life by two hundred years, and now, she should be in her cave mansion, closing up to refine the medicinal power and extend her life!”
Mixed in the crowd, upon hearing Wuya inquire about Ye Qingqing, Fang Qingshan quickly stepped forward, bowed, and respectfully explained to Wuya.
As Ye Qingqing’s master, compared to others, he clearly knew much more about Ye Qingqing’s matters.
“The Sect gate is already sealed; irrelevant people are strictly forbidden from entering or exiting. There’s nothing outside; everyone, please disperse now!”
“Qingshan, come, let’s go to Sect Master Ye’s cave mansion together.”
Upon hearing Fang Qingshan’s explanation, Wuya slightly nodded.
After beckoning to the others with a soft command, he turned to Fang Qingshan and called him over.
“Understood, Supreme Elder Wuya!” Fang Qingshan responded.
Though Wuya was no longer the Sect Master, his strength and status were evident. Within the Sect, he still maintained a strong influence, and his orders, found hardly anyone who dared to directly refuse.
Those elders and hall masters who had just arrived, although immensely curious about what was happening outside the Sect gate, were now only able to disperse one by one.
As for Fang Qingshan, he followed by Wuya’s side, hurriedly rushing towards the direction of Ye Qingqing’s cave mansion.
…
‘Rumble… rumble…’
The deafening rumbling lasted for over ten minutes before it finally began to subside.
The mountain chosen by Chen Hai, now covered by that Giant Peak, appeared like an irregular gourd, an extremely odd-enough view.
“Placing Miaozhen Cave Mansion’s Giant Peak upon another mountain, this idea, actually seems quite remarkable.”
“In this area spanning thousands of miles, there probably isn’t another peak that can surpass this one in height.”
“To regard this place as the cave mansion, dwelling atop it, is indeed fitting to my status!”
Standing at the base of the mountain, Chen Hai raised his head to look at the pinnacle, nodding in satisfaction as he muttered to himself.
Miaozhen Cave Mansion was merely temporarily combined with the mountain below.
Should there be a need, Chen Hai could entirely retract the cave mansion back into his possession.
The mountain below, serving as the foundation, was merely a place to stand; Chen Hai didn’t hold it in much regard.
Walking around the mountain a few times, eventually, at an entrance to a rugged path that led up the mountain near the foot of the mountain, he erected a large stone stele.
“Black Water Immortal Mountain!” With each stroke, he engraved several large characters into the stele.
Since it was the location of his cave mansion, it naturally required a name—it couldn’t simply let people refer to it as the nameless peak.
The root of his Cultivation originated from the Black Water Leech Emperor; naming this mountain Black Water Immortal Mountain was undoubtedly fitting.
“Senior Chen, are you planning to establish a Sect?”
Ouyang Ming, who had only been quietly watching this unfold until then, displayed a complex expression and finally couldn’t resist probing as he asked upon seeing the large stone stele with Black Water Immortal Mountain carved into it.
“It’s just a temporary place for me to stay, merely naming it.”
“What Sect to establish? What faction to found? That would be too troublesome!”
With a light smile, Chen Hai glanced at Ouyang Ming.
After pausing for a moment and pondering for a bit, he added, “However, if there are those exceptionally gifted and fortunate individuals willing to become my disciples, I might indeed consider it reluctantly!”
These words weren’t just thrown together lightly, but were a conclusion he arrived at after careful deliberation.
After all, he had already taken on a nominal chief disciple.
However, whether Zhang Tianci was sincerely willing to join his fold was still a matter of debate!
Honestly, even if Zhang Tianxin disagreed, it would only be his loss; for Chen Hai, there would be no detriment.
