My Master Knows It All

322: Chapter 150 Hundred Peaks People, Hundred Peaks Soul_3 322: Chapter 150 Hundred Peaks People, Hundred Peaks Soul_3 If this had been a gathering of Lightning Peak disciples, he would have understood, but with only one Lightning Peak disciple, Lan Pili, present, he still felt compelled to make the ultimate sacrifice—his own life!

Lan Pili had the Divine Skills Bead bestowed by the Sect Leader.

He could have chosen not to burn his life energy and simply release the divine skills to find an opportunity to escape alone.

He believed that the divine skills given by the Sect Leader could open a gap to let Lan Pili escape without burning his life energy.

Yet Lan Pili wasn’t thinking about himself at this moment.

His thoughts were always for the Hundred Peaks Sect!

It was for himself, whom he had once conflicted with, and for the disciples unrelated to Lightning Peak—all because they were part of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

At this moment, Cao Zhen, reborn, for the first time truly felt the unity of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

Despite the usual scheming and discord, they were all disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

In Cao Zhen’s heart, a resonance as a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect instantly arose.

He, too, was a member of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

“Peak Master Lan, give me the Divine Skills Bead, and let me release its power!

My strength is a bit stronger.

Perhaps if I release the Divine Skills Bead, all of us could escape.”

“No, that’s impossible.” Lan Pili, holding a round treasure bead, clasped the Divine Skills Bead tightly, his face showing a resolute expression, “To unleash the full power of the Divine Skills Bead, one must burn their own life energy.

Only by offering one’s life energy can its full power be exerted.”

“Master!” The sole disciple from Lightning Peak among the crowd suddenly stepped forward, calling out loudly, “Master, you are the Peak Master, and I’m just an ordinary disciple.

Lightning Peak still needs your leadership; we have younger disciples who need your guidance!

Lightning Peak cannot be without you.

If a life must be sacrificed, let your disciple do it.”

“No, let me do it.

I have no attachments,” another disciple from the Hundred Peaks Sect stepped forward.

As this disciple stepped out, one by one, disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect began to shout, “Peak Master, let your disciple do it.”

“My talents are average, continuing to cultivate won’t enable me to contribute much to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Let your disciple do this.”

“If it weren’t for a senior brother from the Hundred Peaks Sect who brought me into the sect, I would have died long ago.

I never found an opportunity to repay the Hundred Peaks Sect.

This time, let your disciple do something for the sect!”

The disciples spoke one after another, and in this moment, they forgot about life and death!

Cao Zhen looked at these young faces of the Hundred Peaks Sect disciples with a moved expression, feeling a surge of blood rush to his head, a tumultuous wave of shock churning in his heart.

Didn’t these disciples know, sacrificing their lives meant dying?

They were cultivators; how could they not know this common sense?

Still, they were trying to grab the Divine Skills Bead; they were willing to sacrifice their lives!

This was the dedication of the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

This was the spirit of sacrifice of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

In this moment, since crossing over, for the first time, he truly considered himself a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

Hundred Peaks Sect was his root!

He was Cao Zhen of Four Treasures Peak, a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

He took pride in being a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

“Enough, no need to argue anymore!” Lan Pili, seeing the young faces before him, already had tears in the corners of his eyes, “You are all disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and you’ve not dishonored these three words.

However, I may be the Peak Master, but I am also a person of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

We separate into Peak Masters and disciples because that is the rule, because as a Peak Master I must teach, instruct, and solve doubts.

But now, we are all people of the Hundred Peaks Sect; there is no distinction between Peak Master and ordinary disciples!

And I, as the head of the delegation, must live up to the responsibilities of the head.

That’s the rule of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

As the deputy head, your duty is to lead everyone safely out of here.

If danger arises again, I hope you will take care of them!”

As he spoke, mana surged around his body, preparing to sacrifice his life energy.

Suddenly, in the next moment, from the skies, a silver halberd seemed to fly from the ends of heaven, cutting across the void, streaking toward Blood River.

The motion of Lan Pili about to burn his life energy instantly halted.

Cao Zhen looked in astonishment at the great halberd falling from the sky.

Yu Tuoyu!

It was him; he had returned!

Was the Grand Preceptor so formidable that he could predict they would face danger again, that below there was a Great Formation, that a blood demon would appear?

The colossal halberd slashed across the sky, resembling a silver dragon or a crescent moon falling from the heavens, plunging into the Blood River.

In that instant, the raging Blood River exploded with a roar!

Endless blood water rose to the sky, spreading like blood mist, the whole town shaking madly at this moment, the fabric of the sky shuddering ceaselessly, and in the void, a clear crack appeared.

This single strike tore through the formation!

From beyond the town’s skies, Yu Tuoyu’s voice suddenly rang out, “If not now, then when?”

Cao Zhen instantly snapped back to reality, mana burning wildly in his body, propelling the Heretical Golden Core as he fled frantically into the distance.
