Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Demon Cultivator Mo Yan Leaves the Group Chat

Jiang Zuo looked at Sweet Potato, realizing he hadn’t taken it out for a walk in a long time.

’If I have some free time, I should take it out,’ he thought. ’At least that would keep the house from getting too messy.’

Then, Jiang Zuo let out Dandan and Shiba as well.

Just then, Sweet Potato waddled up to Jiang Zuo, holding a Spirit Fruit. "QUACK."

Jiang Zuo glanced at it, took the fruit, and then turned to leave.

’Come to think of it, this apple-shaped Spirit Fruit probably isn’t fresh anymore.’

As soon as he got inside, Jiang Zuo casually tossed it into the trash can.

It had been exposed to the wind and sun for several days, and Jiang Zuo had no desire to eat it.

"QUACK?" Sweet Potato froze in place.

"Quack~"

Duan Qiao glanced at Sweet Potato and said, "Your biggest mistake was offering up your food. Your even bigger mistake was thinking he’d give you more in return."

"QUACK?" Sweet Potato quacked at Duan Qiao.

It didn’t understand.

’Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?’

Duan Qiao said, "You can quack all you want, but that Great Demon won’t understand. It’s useless no matter how much you quack."

"QUACK?"

Duan Qiao didn’t want to deal with Sweet Potato anymore.

’All it can do is quack.’

————

How could Jiang Zuo possibly know what Sweet Potato was thinking?

He had even less of a clue what its quacks meant.

Right now, he wanted to find a suitable place for forging.

Borrowing Chu Qing’s place was probably out of the question.

Besides, her setup wasn’t sufficient for him to inscribe a Grand Array.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo opened the group chat, only to be flooded with a ton of new messages.

Quite a few had @’d him, but Jiang Zuo couldn’t see any of them; they had already been buried in the feed.

Blade Master Hai Bian: "I wonder when we’ll be able to contact Fellow Daoist Po Xiao."

Chi Xue Child: "[Helpless emoji] Who knows where Fellow Daoist Po Xiao has been since the Sea of Seven Emotions."

Fairy Mo Yan: "[Whispering emoji] Hey guys, with how huge the incident at the Sea of Seven Emotions was, do you think Boss Po Xiao got caught up in it and... kicked the bucket?

I think the Sea of Seven Emotions is a pretty good spot. You won’t believe this, but I feel like my Feng Shui skills have improved a lot.

Did any of you collect Boss Po Xiao’s clothes?

It faces the sea, with the warmth of spring and blooming flowers. A perfect place for an eternal slumber."

Po Xiao: "I’ve got plenty of old clothes right here. By the way, I was the one Crossing the Tribulation, so there’s no ’getting caught up in it’ to speak of."

The entire group chat fell silent.

For a moment, no one spoke. No one dared to pop up.

Then, a certain message appeared:

Fairy Mo Yan: Demon Cultivator Mo Yan has left the group chat.

Still on Seven Emotions Island, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan scrambled to hide behind Liuyue Xue, whispering nonstop, "I’m done for, I’m done for! I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die! Is he going to strike me dead with Celestial Punishment?

Liuyue Xue, you have to protect me! Where’s Chi Xue Child?

Hurry and get him over here to block the lightning for me!"

Liuyue Xue stared at Mo Yan, expressionless, before speaking in a rare moment of chattiness, "So, why did you have to go and court death?"

"I didn’t!" Mo Yan, who had been shouting, immediately shrank back and said cautiously, "I was just trying to be nice to you all! What’s wrong with finding you a Clothes Tomb?

If you can’t find a body but still need a burial, of course you’d use a Clothes Tomb.

You all just don’t appreciate my kind intentions.

The next time you guys die, I won’t bother looking for one for you."

BOOM!!

A sudden clap of thunder made Mo Yan shriek in fright.

The terrifying Judgment Celestial Punishment from two days ago was still fresh in her mind.

If Boss Po Xiao used Celestial Punishment on her, a hundred of her wouldn’t be enough to survive.

Liu Yiyi, who was standing to the side, said, "What are you so worried about? Fellow Daoist Po Xiao has already finished his tribulation. Besides, you’re not even worthy of him using Celestial Punishment on you."

Mo Yan said, "That’s because you haven’t experienced his ’Idiot-Proofing Strike.’ I had to call Liuyue Xue ’Mommy’ for days! People in the know are aware that Liuyue Xue is underage, but to everyone else, it would look like I found a young new wife for my master.

My master would probably be ecstatic."

THWACK!

Mo Yan was knocked unconscious.

Liuyue Xue was furious. She looked like she wanted to run Mo Yan through with her Heaven-Breaking Spear.

Nearby, Liu Yiyi and Xiao Xiaomo shook their heads and sighed. ’Honestly, when will Mo Yan ever learn her lesson?’

Of course, there were still people in the group chat who simply ignored Mo Yan.

Chi Xue Child: "Is it really you, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao?"

Chen Yi: "I’m getting a little emotional. I can’t believe I’m this close to a legend. With this feat, Boss, you’ve become a legend in the Cultivation Realm."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, you’re already Tier Three?"

Po Xiao: "Yeah."

Everyone: "..."

’Wait a minute, wasn’t Po Xiao just at 1.1 not too long ago?’

They were starting to question their own existence.

’Is this how Cultivation is supposed to work?’

’Have we been practicing some kind of fake Cultivation all this time?’

Jiang Zuo couldn’t care less whether they were shocked or not. Instead, he posted what he wanted to know: "I need to do some forging soon. Do you guys know of any good locations?"

Chu Qing instantly popped up: "Elder Po Xiao, can my older sister watch the forging? I can give you all my savings."

Needless to say, Chu Qing definitely had a blade at his shoulder that he was powerless against.

The one thing Chu Qing couldn’t handle was his sister’s ferocity.

’Spectators?’

’I don’t mind. If they aren’t afraid of dying and can actually understand what they’re seeing, they’re welcome to watch.’

As long as they didn’t disturb him, it was fine.

In response, Jiang Zuo just casually replied that it was fine, and Chu Qing sent several emojis of cute girls jumping for joy.

This was clearly an expression of his sister’s joy.

As for Chu Qing himself, he had probably cried himself unconscious in a bathroom stall.

Chu Qing: "Thank you, Uncle Po Xiao."

Jiang Zuo ignored her.

Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian replied: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, something has come up on my end. I just discussed it with them.

They can provide a location and everything you need, but they’re hoping you can take a look at something for them afterward."

Po Xiao: "What is it? And where?"

Blade Master Hai Bian didn’t hide anything: "The Spiritual Control Sect. The Spirit Beasts have been infected with a disease that’s incurable, and its origin is unknown.

They are constantly weakening and degenerating.

There’s basically no solution."

’The Spiritual Control Sect?’

Jiang Zuo was a little surprised. So it was the Spiritual Control Sect that was in trouble.

He seemed to recall Jian Shisan mentioning this to him as well.

But the Spiritual Control Sect wasn’t close; it would take a considerable amount of time to get there.

He might as well look for something nearby instead.

Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian sent another message: "If you agree, Fellow Daoist, the people from the Spiritual Control Sect can pick you up at any time. The journey will be very short."

"Have them wait for me at Tianhe Group tomorrow." Jiang Zuo didn’t hesitate.

He immediately sent another message: "Remember, I want to start forging the moment I arrive."

Blade Master Hai Bian was very happy to receive Po Xiao’s reply.

With Po Xiao’s help, the Spiritual Control Sect’s problem might very well be solved.

As for certain rumors—like the one about disaster striking wherever Po Xiao goes—it was best to ignore them for now.

The Spiritual Control Sect was already in trouble, so it’s not like things could get any worse.

The only reason he was even able to speak with the Sect Leader was entirely because of the two Purification Spell beads. It was those beads that had alleviated the sickness in many of the Spirit Beasts.

But they were about to give out.

The Spiritual Control Sect had countless experts, including no small number of high-level cultivators who knew Spirit Beasts inside and out, yet they were still helpless.

They had absolutely no solution.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have issued the request, nor would they have asked Po Xiao to help and offered him such convenience in advance.

It was because the Spiritual Control Sect simply couldn’t wait any longer.

Throughout the entire Spiritual Control Sect, most of the Spirit Beasts had already lost their combat strength. If this continued, the Spiritual Control Sect would likely cease to exist in all but name.
