Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1412 - 597: The Secrets of the Youlan Mountain Range

The number of people may be few, but they are the essence.

This is a loss that cannot be borne!

These two mustn’t report any bad news to me!

Ming Lingchuan felt uneasy in his heart!

Of course, as a Sect Hierarch, Ming Lingchuan’s face remained unchanged. No matter how Li Yunjing looked, he couldn’t discern any clues from the face of this Sect Leader Venerable.

"That’s how it is..."

Five Elements Master dared not delay and immediately reported Li Yunjing’s plan and the frontline situation in detail.

After listening, Ming Lingchuan’s expression remained calm, but the spiritual energy inside the hall suddenly stagnated, as if even time paused for a moment.

"Borrow the power of the Demon Race to counter the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’?"

He spoke indifferently, his voice like thunder exploding beside Li Yunjing’s ear, "Li Yunjing, do you know what the consequences would be if the Demon Race loses control?"

"Disciple understands the risks!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But now the situation in East Sea is dire, the ’Mountain and River Map’ has appeared, and without external intervention, the frontline will collapse! And the Demon Race of the ’Youlan Mountain Range’, just happens to be powerful. If guided slightly, they may hold each other in check!"

Ming Lingchuan’s gaze flickered, seemingly deducing the celestial secret.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Your plan isn’t infeasible, but the Demon Race is cunning; how can you ensure they won’t turn against us?"

"Disciple is willing to personally enter the ’Youlan Mountain Range’ to negotiate with the Demon Race!"

A glimmer of determination flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes.

"Impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Five Elements Master’s face suddenly changed: "You are now the Sect’s Vice Sect Leader; if you venture into the ancestral land of the Demon Race, it’s extremely dangerous!"

Ming Lingchuan abruptly laughed, "Interesting."

He looked at Li Yunjing, "Since you have such courage, I will give you a chance."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a purple-golden token flew towards Li Yunjing.

"Hold this ’Shenxiao Order’, it can identify your status. The Demon Race will not strike you!"

Ming Lingchuan said meaningfully, "As for whether you can persuade the Demon Race to act, that’ll depend on your skills!"

Li Yunjing took the token, his heart jolting.

This ’Shenxiao Order’ is the Sect Leader’s token!

Holding this token is equivalent to the Imperial Sword!

"Thank you, Sect Leader! I will do my utmost to live up to the great trust!"

Li Yunjing solemnly cupped his fists in salute.

"However, you must also note one more thing on this journey."

Ming Lingchuan slightly nodded, then gazed deeply into the distant horizon: "Years ago, our sect left behind a ’Demon Suppressing Valley’ in the ’Youlan Mountain Range’. Many years ago, there was an incident there."

Hearing this, Li Yunjing swallowed hard.

Wasn’t this incident caused by him?

"You need to remove the restrictions inside the valley and retrieve all those materials."

Ming Lingchuan continued, "Provided the Demon Race agrees to cooperate."

"Disciple understands!"

Li Yunjing sighed in relief and quickly responded.

"Back then, in the battle of the ’Youlan Mountain Range’, our sect repelled the Demon Race, but at a significant cost."

Ming Lingchuan’s tone was heavy, "Letting the Demon Race loose, one wonders if it’s right or wrong."

"This proposal was put forth by me!"

Li Yunjing said solemnly, "If one day, the Demon Race retaliates, I will pay any price to quell the chaos."

"Go, time is pressing."

Ming Lingchuan spoke no more and waved his sleeve.

"Yunjing, be careful on this journey!"

Five Elements Master hastily advised: "If it becomes unfeasible, retreat immediately! We’ll think of another way!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then turned and left hurriedly.

Once Li Yunjing’s silhouette completely disappeared outside the grand hall, spiritual light flickered inside, automatic restrictions closed, isolating all outside probing.

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, what do you think of this child?"

Ming Lingchuan stood with hands behind his back, gazing deeply at the sea of clouds outside the hall, and slowly asked.

"Daring and farsighted, but... overly aggressive."

Five Elements Master pondered for a moment and cautiously stated.

"Aggressive?"

Ming Lingchuan smiled lightly, "Without aggression, how can he rise from insignificance to the position of Vice Sect Leader today?"

"But relying on the Demon Race’s power is ultimately drinking poison to quench thirst."

Five Elements Master frowned, "If the Demon Race takes the opportunity to grow, even secretly colludes with ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"That’s why I’m letting him go."

Ming Lingchuan’s gaze was deep, his voice ethereal.

"What does the Sect Leader mean...?"

Five Elements Master’s expression slightly moved.

"Li Yunjing, this child, is blessed with fortune, repeatedly turning peril to safety, likely indistinguishable from the legendary Child of Fortune."

Ming Lingchuan said indifferently, "This journey into the ’Youlan Mountain Range’ might use his hand to probe the true situation of the Demon Race."

"Sect Leader intends to kill two birds with one stone?"

Five Elements Master realized, "Both resolve the East Sea crisis and probe Demon Race movements?"

"The Demon Race has lain dormant for years; internally, they may not be united."

Ming Lingchuan slightly nodded, "If they can be divided and utilized, they might be of use to us."

"But if Li Yunjing fails or even perishes..."

Five Elements Master still harbored concerns.

"Then it shows he’s only so much."

Ming Lingchuan’s tone was calm but with a hint of coldness, "’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ doesn’t need a useless Sect Leader."

Five Elements Master felt a chill, saying no more.

It turned out the Sect Leader had meticulously planned everything!

...

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing was already riding his Escape Light, leaving the ’Shenxiao Mountain Range’ and heading straight for the ’Youlan Mountain Range’.

Holding the ’Shenxiao Order’ firmly, his gaze was resolute, but deep within, he had a trace of hidden worry.

"Years ago, I inadvertently entered the ’Demon Suppressing Valley’, causing the Demon Race uprising. Now I must personally ask them to come forth..."

"The wheel of fate indeed mocks."

"No matter what, success is imperative!"

He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "Otherwise, all my fellow disciples at the frontline will perish in the East Sea!"
