Chapter 1631 - 1461: Human Nature (Part 3)

Hehe, it's truly amusing that Tingxue Pavilion hides a cultivation technique that restrains oneself.

Ye Guichen doesn't care about such things.

Even if it's a fragmented piece, it's extremely useful to him.

Once his cultivation improves, he might be able to use the Esoteric Sect's one hundred and eight secret techniques, including the technique of strange fire.

This fire control technique will naturally become unnecessary.

Ye Guichen did not delay and quickly immersed his mind into it.

Meanwhile, as Ye Guichen practiced the fire control technique, the entire Tingxue Pavilion was bustling.

Experiencing such a great battle, it's not easy to recuperate.

Yu Wen Dou also arranged for the remaining disciples to venture out to investigate the situation outside.

According to the feedback, the situation outside is not optimistic.

Based on the information gathered, countless sects are suffering slaughter from Netherworld Mountain, and faced with attacks, most sects are unable to withstand and are destroyed on the spot.

Sects like Tingxue Pavilion, which suffered heavy losses but survived by luck, are less than one percent.

Yu Wen Dou was extremely relieved upon hearing the news.

He knows that without Ye Guichen, Tingxue Pavilion would likely be a land of death by now.

As more news poured in from outside, the people of Tingxue Pavilion became increasingly shocked.

All sects are on the brink.

Some sects, upon learning that Tingxue Pavilion still survives and even has expert assistance, began gathering towards it.

A week later, the first group arrived at the foot of Luoxue Mountain.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the people of Tingxue Pavilion, the group only sent a representative up the mountain to speak with Yu Wen Dou.

"Master Yu Wen, pleased to meet you!" the visitor, a middle-aged man named Wan Wei, once led a sect similar to Tingxue Pavilion in strength.

However, although his sect was comparable in strength to Tingxue Pavilion, it wasn't as fortunate.

The entire sect, thousands of disciples, were exterminated, leaving only him, the Sect Leader, to escape, suffering heavy losses. If not for the assistance of other fleeing sect disciples he encountered along the way, he might have already died.

Due to his relatively high cultivation, having reached Nascent Soul Peak, he was quickly chosen as a temporary leader.

This time, upon hearing that there were experts present at Tingxue Pavilion, they journeyed towards it.

Along the way, they gathered over a thousand people.

The number of involved sects was more like seventy or eighty.

"Sect Leader Wan, you are truly courteous, enduring such hardship on the journey." At times like these, Yu Wen Dou naturally wouldn't put on airs.

Since Netherworld Mountain has acted, no sect in the world can escape.

The best solution now is for everyone to unite against the enemy.

Therefore, upon hearing that others sought refuge at Tingxue Pavilion, Yu Wen Dou had no objections and was extremely courteous.

"Ah, enduring hardship is not a concern, but Netherworld Mountain is simply detestable. Do they not fear becoming the public enemy of all human cultivators?" Wan Wei sighed deeply, "On our escape journey, I witnessed devastation. But this time, Netherworld Mountain is aggressive, seemingly intent on sparing no one. If preparations had been made earlier, we wouldn't have ended up in such a position!"

Yu Wen Dou was filled with sighs.

Though words are such, what can be done now that the situation is dire?

"By the way, Brother Yu Wen, I heard you have an expert assisting here, might you introduce us?" Wan Wei chatted briefly before revealing his purpose.

A mere small Tingxue Pavilion wasn't enough to garner their allegiance.

They had heard there was an expert who helped slay all ghost and corpse cultivators attacking Tingxue Pavilion.

This was an extremely favorable news for all sects.

It also boosted everyone's spirits.

Originally, they thought no one could stand against Netherworld Mountain, but now, they saw hope.

Not having Ye Guichen's permission, Yu Wen Dou naturally didn't dare to agree easily: "Sect Leader Wan, you are truly courteous, but that esteemed expert is currently in cultivation and seems inconvenient."

"Ah? Are we humans suffering, and he as part of our human cultivators, wants to stay out of it?" Hearing Yu Wen Dou's words, Wan Wei instinctively felt Ye Guichen was avoiding him, his voice rising.

It seemed Ye Guichen coming forward to aid all human cultivators was only proper.

Seeing Wan Wei's earnest tone, Yu Wen Dou frowned: "Sect Leader Wan, I understand your feelings, but many matters need careful planning."

"What more careful planning?" Wan Wei abandoned his previous courtesy, his tone becoming rigid: "Many sects have heard that Tingxue Pavilion has an expert capable of handling Netherworld Mountain's ghost and stone cultivators and are heading this way. What do they want? They want that expert to eliminate Netherworld Mountain and reclaim peace for us human cultivators. He clearly has the ability, does he wish to watch us die out with open eyes?"

"Uh..." Yu Wen Dou frowned tightly: "Sect Leader Wan, from your words, do you mean for Mr. Ye to take the lead while you all watch from behind?"

"Naturally!" Wan Wei showed an expression of self-righteousness, "What use are we if we go there? Only a path to death. That Mr. Ye you speak of, since he has the ability, naturally needs to take the lead and resolve the crisis for us human cultivators."

Yu Wen Dou was speechless.

He didn't expect Wan Wei to have such thoughts.

However, since Wan Wei was sent as a representative, he likely reflects more than just his own thoughts.
