My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1496: Chapter 350_5

Therefore, it would be best for them to find more people and form an alliance, joining other Great Teachings. That way, they can look out for each other in everyday situations, such as when they go out on adventures.

Obviously, it’s not possible for so many of them to join a single Great Teaching simultaneously, as other teachings would definitely have their concerns.

Hence, they need to return quickly, so everyone can discuss what to do next.

Cao Zhen stared at the mountain gate, bewildered by the sudden departure of the fifty Earth Immortal Realm members of the Void Breaking Sect: “What’s going on? We were about to trade, why did they suddenly leave?”

Beside him, Nie Jie whispered: “Sect Hierarch, could they be deliberately trying to confuse us? Pretending to flee and then ambushing us?”

“There’s no point in them doing that. They’ve already appeared; it’s impossible for us to be unprepared!” Cao Zhen shook his head in confusion and looked at the crowd, “Go and see how those hidden ones are doing, and check on those assassins as well.”

A fleeting shadow passed by at Cao Zhen’s command, disappearing from his sight briefly before returning to inform him: “Master, all of them are gone; they hastily left on a flying boat.”

“Everyone left?”

“Over a hundred Earth Immortal Realm people came all this way to our Hundred Peaks Sect mountain gate, then left after redeeming a few people?”

“Could they really have just come to redeem some people?”

“Definitely not. If they were redeeming people, why only some and not all of them?”

“There’s only one possibility left – something major happened within the Void Breaking Sect.”

Little Bei Yan called out upon hearing this: “What could have happened? Surely, the Void Breaking Sect hasn’t been wiped out, right? And those assassins—what about them?”

“The assassins haven’t made any moves; perhaps they’re waiting for the Void Breaking Sect members to return as well. Besides, now that our attention is highly focused, they might fear being discovered by us, so they’re staying put.”

“No movement? It’s good that they’re staying put.”

Chilling murderous intent flickered in Cao Zhen’s eyes: “Leaving these people only leads to trouble sooner or later. Since the Void Breaking Sect people are likely gone, let’s deal with them first.”

Having said that, he looked at the crowd, “Take your third brother and quietly approach them underground.”

The crowd was the weakest in combat among all disciples, but he excelled at escaping and hiding.

Assassins are definitely skilled at concealing themselves, yet they were found by the crowd who remained undetected by the assassins, showcasing the crowd’s remarkable concealment skills.

Thus, he had the crowd take Xiang Ziyu to approach the enemy.

Xiang Ziyu has mastered all things very well, and during this period, his Five-thunder Righteous Method surpassed other disciples greatly, so naturally, he should accompany Xiang Ziyu to kill.

“Okay, Master.” With the command, the crowd obediently nodded, knowing that taking the third brother along was only slightly troublesome, nothing more.

When the battle starts, he could always stand aside.

Their master had always said that he was not needed for fighting.

After giving the crowd instructions, Cao Zhen turned to the other disciples nearby: “Later, we’ll pretend to survey whether the Void Breaking Sect has indeed retreated, quietly getting close to them. Ling Xi, be cautious; if anyone tries to escape, I will pursue them with you immediately.”

Ling Xi is now a major weapon, combined with her great formation. It’s possible that Ling Xi is more formidable than him and Xiang Ziyu.

“Wait… Master…” Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly spoke up, pointing to his senior sister: “Master, I can actually carry… take my senior sister with me.”

Cao Zhen’s gaze at the crowd instantly changed—taking Ling Xi? Did he mean he should take Xiang Ziyu instead? This kid, ever since coming up the mountain, seemed to hold a different look towards Ling Xi, even talking about carrying his senior sister—what’s this… a rebellion?

“Bang!”

Cao Zhen heavily slapped the crowd, scolding: “We are about to battle, and you’re still being picky. Do you know that such thoughts are extremely dangerous? Your third brother is the protagonist, yet you disdain him.”

Suddenly, the crowd became obedient, but internally, he was full of complaints; his master was too shameless! Having Bi Yue Sect and Li Ke Sect, yet prohibiting anyone from approaching his senior sister.

Ba…

“Bang!”

His shoulder suffered another wave of agony, and upon looking back, it was his third brother’s face that met his eyes.

“Little brother, let me tell you, your thoughts are truly dangerous. Master wasn’t wrong; I’m the protagonist, and taking me along is the safest. Taking someone else…”

Great, the third brother began another lecture.

During his time at Four Treasures Peak, he was most troubled by three things: the second sister’s cold gaze, the third brother’s constant claims of being the protagonist.

Now, hearing that his third brother was starting another lecture, he quickly informed his master of the disciples’ hiding place, then promptly employed an escape technique, taking his third brother underground and proceeding towards the distance.

Cao Zhen also flew out of the Hundred Peaks Sect with the other disciples from Four Treasures Peak.

He wasn’t sure if the Void Breaking Sect people had truly left. If they returned, having only brought the Four Treasures Peak disciples, they could retreat immediately, unaffected, especially since there were only six Earth Immortal Realm enemies—bringing Four Treasures Peak disciples would be more than enough.
