Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1268 - 549: The Round Fatty

However, to perform a Soul Search, one’s Divine Sense must far surpass the opponent’s, only then can it be done.

Elder Yu’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, his Divine Sense incomparably powerful, fundamentally not someone Li Yunjing could Soul Search, but once they returned to the Sect later, there would be plenty of people who could deal with Elder Yu.

Li Yunjing dragged Elder Yu, who was like a dead dog, and locked him into the cage below.

This cage was extremely formidable, linked with the entire Defense System of the "Celestial Patrol Ship"; so long as anyone inside the cage resisted, the "Celestial Patrol Ship" would immediately divert its power here, strengthening the force of the seal.

Even if Elder Yu were in perfect condition, he might not be able to break through the defenses of the "Celestial Patrol Ship", let alone now when he had been subdued by Li Yunjing and was like a dead dog.

Three days later, at the junction of sea and sky, an island shrouded in drifting clouds and mist appeared; seven glazed towers pierced through the clouds, the sound of bells and chimes drifted with the wind—this was "Holy Sound Island".

The "Celestial Patrol Ship" passed through layer upon layer of Restrictions and slowly landed at the Jade Marrow Pier on the western side of the island.

Li Yunjing looked at the orderly ranks of white-robed Cultivators on the shore, and his heart tightened.

The vigilance of "Holy Sound Island" was several times stricter than in the past, clearly they had already sensed that the situation was abnormal.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve had a hard journey."

An acquaintance came; it was actually Li Yunjing’s old lover, Liao Wanqing, personally coming to greet him. "The Sect Hierarch is already waiting in the ’Heavenly Sound Pavilion’, only that Miss Xing’Er, Miss Yue’Er, and all of you..."

Her gaze swept past Wen Bin at the side, then she smiled charmingly. "I didn’t expect Brother Wen would come as well."

"Good! Wanqing, Xing’Er and Yue’Er won’t get off the ship. Once the matter is done, I’ll leave immediately!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, unwilling to listen to Liao Wanqing’s nonsense.

"This..."

Seeing the impatience on Li Yunjing’s face, Liao Wanqing was stunned, and her expression also turned unpleasant.

Old lover comes, yet he doesn’t show even a single smile—how can he be so heartless?

"Liao Fairy, don’t blame him. Brother Li has been worried sick along the way, truly driven to distraction by that ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’."

Seeing this, Wen Bin hastily stepped forward, smiling as he tried to smooth things over.

"To be frank with Fairy, this time we discovered a shocking conspiracy of the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ in the depths of the East Sea!"

Seeing that Liao Wanqing was still pouting, seemingly dissatisfied, Wen Bin’s expression suddenly turned solemn. Lowering his voice, he said, "They actually raised a ’Nine Netherworld Soul-devouring Beast’, and have even mastered the terrifying technology of the ’space gate’!"

"This... this is impossible!"

Liao Wanqing’s face instantly turned deathly pale; at a loss, she muttered, "The ’Nine Netherworld Soul-devouring Beast’ is an ancient forbidden thing; once it emerges, it will surely plunge all living beings into misery and suffering!"

"And the ’space gate’ is something that only a legendary Great Power can master!"

"Has the Celestial Net Dao Sect really grasped such a dreadful ability?"

By the time she finished speaking, Liao Wanqing’s delicate body had gone somewhat weak; she was completely terrified.

Golden Core Realm Cultivators almost all understood the significance of these two points.

With just a few words from Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing already knew how frightening the consequences would be.

"It’s absolutely true!"

Wen Bin nodded solemnly. "The Jade Scroll we Soul Searched from a Celestial Net Dao Sect Elder recorded everything with crystal clarity."

"Now their teleportation technology has broken through; they can open a ’space gate’ without a fixed Teleportation Array. If they were to send the ’Nine Netherworld Soul-devouring Beast’ everywhere..."

He did not continue, but the peril involved was self-evident.

"Wanqing, my coming this time is truly due to an urgent matter."

Li Yunjing sighed, finally softening his tone. "’Holy Sound Island’ stands at a key choke point of the East Sea; once the Celestial Net Dao Sect makes a move, you will surely be the first to bear the brunt."

"I came this time, first to report this matter to the Sect Hierarch, and second in the hope that we can join forces with ’Holy Sound Island’ to resist this powerful enemy together."

"So that’s how it is..."

Only then did Liao Wanqing understand why Li Yunjing was so anxious; the dissatisfaction in her heart instantly melted away. "I misunderstood Brother Li. This is a matter of great importance; I’ll immediately take you to see the Sect Hierarch!"

She turned and instructed the Disciples behind her, "Hurry and inform the Elders of each peak to go to the ’Heavenly Sound Pavilion’ for a council!"

With that said, she led Li Yunjing and Wen Bin, hastening toward the "Heavenly Sound Pavilion", their steps hurried, no longer with their usual graceful composure.

The three were all experts; moments later, they arrived at the "Heavenly Sound Pavilion".

This pavilion was entirely built of white jade stone, emitting a soft radiance under the sunlight. Wind bells hung from the eaves swayed in the breeze, producing crisp, pleasant sounds.

Outside, large numbers of Disciples of the "Holy Sound Sect" were patrolling.

These people, seeing that it was Liao Wanqing leading people here, did not dare to question and allowed Li Yunjing and Wen Bin to enter.

Stepping into the pavilion, a woman in a moon-white robe was seated upright in the main seat. Her features were peerlessly beautiful, her bearing transcendent and ethereal—this was the Sect Hierarch of "Holy Sound Island", the Saint Sound Fairy.

"Fellow Daoist Li, for what matter have you come this time?"

Li Yunjing and Wen Bin immediately saluted; the Saint Sound Fairy slightly raised her hand, indicating the two were exempt from ceremony, her gaze falling on Li Yunjing as a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. "I heard you have been promoted to Vice Sect Leader of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’. I offer my congratulations, Fellow Daoist."

"These are all trivial matters! Let me talk about the serious business first!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and recounted in detail to the Saint Sound Fairy the encounters they had in the depths of the "Feiyun Sea Region", as well as the information from the Jade Scroll about the Celestial Net Dao Sect raising the "Nine Netherworld Soul-devouring Beast" and mastering the "space gate" technology.

"This Celestial Net Dao Sect is truly so audacious!"

After listening, the Saint Sound Fairy’s face instantly became incomparably grave; the Jade Ruyi in her hand almost slipped. "They actually dare to attempt to break the balance between heaven and earth, releasing such a terrifying existence as the ’Nine Netherworld Soul-devouring Beast’!"

The Saint Sound Fairy’s willow brows knit tightly, her eyes filled with worry.
