Chapter 191: Chapter 113: Visitor from Jade Void Mountain, Great Success of the Wangchuan Curse

The reason Shangguan Yunmeng was their trump card was due to one distinct feature: she was the only existence in Jade Void Mountain who had grasped Sword Intent while still in the Qi Cultivation Stage. Grasping Sword Intent at the Qi Cultivation Stage was a historical rarity, not just in Jade Void Mountain, but even in the Cyan Cloud Sect.

As long as she was there, the True Inheritances of Jade Void Mountain felt that even if they could not defeat Yi Hanqing from the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Sword Concealment Peak, she would absolutely ensure they stood on invincible ground. Because if the Foundation Establishment Stage Yi Hanqing won against the Qi Cultivation Stage Shangguan Yunmeng, they could just casually attribute the loss to the massive gap in Cultivation between Junior Sister Yunmeng and him. But if Shangguan Yunmeng managed to win by some stroke of luck... then there was nothing more to say. Their Jade Void Mountain would undoubtedly boast about it endlessly, guaranteeing the matter would dominate the public discourse of the Central Province for the next hundred years.

As for the peaks other than Sword Concealment Peak, the True Inheritances of Jade Void Mountain felt certain they would win. The Cyan Cloud True Inheritances from Ten Thousand Talisman Peak and Gangding Peak who had stepped into the Dao Entry Realm were either in Seclusion or out gaining experience. The ones left behind were simply no match for this batch of Jade Void Mountain True Inheritances.

In a word, they had come prepared this time!

However, as everyone chatted, they suddenly noticed a crucial figure missing from the crowd.

"Wait, did any of you see where Junior Sister Yunmeng went?" a Senior Sister from Jade Void Mountain asked, unable to stop herself from shouting after scanning the crowd and failing to find Shangguan Yunmeng’s figure.

Only then did the surrounding True Inheritances of Jade Void Mountain realize this and look around. Seeing that Shangguan Yunmeng was indeed absent, the Senior Sister’s expression immediately grew troubled. "This is bad. Could Junior Sister Yunmeng have gotten lost? After all, she has such a terrible sense of direction that she originally wanted to join the Cyan Cloud Sect, yet somehow aimlessly wandered all the way into our Jade Void Mountain. Didn’t I tell you guys to guide her to this guest room so we could discuss our grand plan?! How did you manage to lose her on the way?!"

Hearing this, several Jade Void Mountain True Inheritances looked at each other in dismay and couldn’t help but say, "Didn’t you say you would keep an eye on Junior Sister Yunmeng, Senior Sister Li? We thought she had been with you this whole time."

Senior Sister Li’s face darkened with embarrassment as she recalled that she had indeed said those words. It seemed that when she went to call the other junior brothers and sisters, Yunmeng had said she was hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, before wandering off on her own. At the time, she figured the guest room and the kitchen were less than three hundred meters apart. No matter how terrible Junior Sister Yunmeng’s sense of direction was, she couldn’t possibly get lost over such a short distance. So, she just let her go by herself.

Who would have thought that after she left, she would never come back! And to think she had assumed Shangguan Yunmeng was already here waiting for her.

Although she realized the fault seemed to lie with her, Li Ping decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she immediately ordered everyone to go and find out where Shangguan Yunmeng had wandered off to. They absolutely could not let the people of the Cyan Cloud Sect discover their trump card ahead of time! Otherwise, they would be prepared!

...

Cyan Cloud Sect, back mountain of Danyang Peak, night.

"...Done." Sitting cross-legged above the Spirit Lake, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

The next second, the surface of the water around him began to ripple. Immediately after, he began Drawing Talismans in the Air, and a special, blood-yellow Talisman suddenly appeared before him. Lu Chen thought for a moment before instantly slapping the Talisman onto a nearby tree. At first, the tree had no reaction. But soon, it began to wither at an astonishing speed, eventually turning into powder. Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction at this sight.

[Wangchuan Curse: Great Success 1/30000]

[Effect: Water of Oblivion, Place of Solitary Souls. When cast, it can directly attack a Cultivator’s Divine Soul, damaging their lifespan.]

Aside from the Wangchuan Curse, he had also Cultivated the Human Mountain Technique to the Breaking Realm over this period. This also nearly depleted all of his Experience Points.

[Human Mountain Technique: Breaking Realm (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: When cast, one can Gather Spirits into Mountains, transforming into a human mountain (ten meters).]

[Special Effect - Profound Yellow Power: When stepping on the earth, one can continuously absorb the earth’s Spiritual Power using the Profound Yellow Power.]

Just as Lu Chen was about to test out his Breaking Realm Human Mountain Technique, he suddenly turned his head toward a direction in the woods.

"Fellow Daoist, come out."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the lost Shangguan Yunmeng had no choice but to step out from behind a tree. When Lu Chen got a clear look at her appearance, he suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase ’a beauty capable of bringing disaster.’ Her eyebrows were delicate as kingfisher feathers, her waist slender as a ribbon of white silk; her eyes shone like stars, and her skin was as pure as snow. In terms of appearance and temperament alone, this woman—currently dressed in unfamiliar, ethereal white attire—was indeed the most stunningly beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. Coupled with her serene and tranquil demeanor, she inexplicably gave off an ethereal feeling of being untainted by the mortal world.

Perhaps feeling that there was no danger within the Cyan Cloud Sect, Lu Chen found himself instinctively stepping across the surface of the lake, landing right in front of the woman.

"May I ask what brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Shangguan Yunmeng thought for a moment before lowering her head and whispering, "Um... I-I seem to be lost... Do you know where the kitchen of the Cyan Cloud Sect is?"

"..."

Lost? She had gotten lost all the way to the back mountain of their Danyang Peak? She had wandered a bit too far off course.
