My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1297 - 317_5

"Indeed, and why would someone like Immortal Bi Yue come to the Eastern Wasteland?"

"Who knows why they are in the Eastern Wasteland? Anyway, since Immortal Bi Yue has told us to leave the Eastern Wasteland, let’s just leave the Eastern Wasteland."

After the other party left, Cao Zhen finally opened the last of the fresh graves, and this time he was in luck. Inside the fresh grave, he found a Treasure.

Though it was just a common Treasure, it was still a Treasure.

"However, these three Immortal Sects really are destitute. Altogether the three sects only had five Treasures, and all of them are the lowest of Mortal Rank Treasures, even all being the Common Low Grade. There was only one Common Mid Grade Treasure. Not a single special Treasure among them."

"Actually, it’s not too few. After all, when we helped the Five Sounds Sect with their Heavenly Tribulation, in the end, a few people only got Common Low Grade Treasures," Immortal Bi Yue said gently shaking her head. "It’s only because previously you dug up Old Man Wu Shuang’s fresh grave that you feel these fresh graves don’t have enough treasures."

As she spoke, she paused for a moment and then enticingly said: "And if you feel there aren’t enough fresh graves here, we can go back to the Eastern Province to dig up the graves of those at the Immortality Regainment Realm."

"Well, it doesn’t feel right to dig up other people’s graves for no reason. I dug up these people’s graves because they have offended me. If I don’t dig up their graves, once the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is over, they would seek revenge against me."

Cao Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hadn’t realized that Bi Yue actually had a hobby of grave digging.

Or perhaps, someday she could form a group with Yan Yourong? One likes live burials, and the other likes grave digging!

"Alright, since their graves have been dug up, and the people from the East Sea Mirage, Void Breaking Sect, and Star Moon Mansion have all been annihilated, we should also head back to Hundred Peaks Sect."

Hundred Peaks Sect.

With the Eastern Wasteland now fully connected to the Eastern Province, and as the people from the major Demon Sects of the Eastern Province began to invade the Eastern Wasteland, the gates of Hundred Peaks Sect also started to close off.

To say half-closed, because the Great Formation of Hundred Peaks Sect was always ready to be activated, the ordinary Disciples were not allowed to leave the mountain at will. However, the experts within Hundred Peaks Sect could leave at any time to support other places.

After all, most of the Cultivators who entered the Eastern Wasteland from the Eastern Province were Demonic Cultivators, among which there were many who relished in killing. They would slaughter not only Cultivators but also mortals.

As of now, Hundred Peaks Sect just barely had enough strength to defend itself, so they would also dispatch people to rescue Cultivators in nearby cities, or even leave Hundred Peaks Sect for some distance to rescue other Immortal Sects.

It was only because people like Cao Zhen had not returned that they could not go to the rescue of the more distant Immortal Sects.

"Bright Heart Sect is asking for help? They’ve found a large number of people from the Demonic Sects of Eastern Province nearby, and it seems like they’re intent on taking action against Bright Heart Sect? They must be waiting for more people to arrive, and once everyone is there, they’ll make their move on Bright Heart Sect?"

Nie Jie looked at everyone with a headache and said, "Bright Heart Sect is requesting aid, and we should certainly go to the rescue, but Bright Heart Sect is far from our Hundred Peaks Sect. If we are to go to the rescue, we must send powerful experts to lead the way. But with such a long distance, what will we do about the defense of our Hundred Peaks Sect?"

Below, the higher-ups of Hundred Peaks Sect were discussing fervently.

"But Bright Heart Sect has always supported us at Hundred Peaks Sect, so it wouldn’t be right for us not to rescue them."

"We should certainly go to the rescue, but is there a possibility that the people from the Eastern Province’s Demonic Sects are trying to lure us out for an ambush?"

"So you’re suggesting we don’t go to their aid?"

"Of course we should go to the rescue, but we must think carefully about how to do it."

Everyone was troubled when suddenly a Disciple came to report.

"Vice Sect Master Nie Jie, Ling Xi the Immortal, Elder Xiang Ziyu, and others have returned!"

Normally, although Nie Jie was the Vice Sect Master, everyone would address him as Sect Leader in Cao Zhen’s absence since no one likes their title to contain the word ’vice’.

However, Nie Jie was an exception.

He emphasized many times that he was the Vice Sect Master, not the Sect Leader.

So gradually, everyone addressed him as Vice Sect Master.

Below, everyone heard the Disciple’s announcement and immediately got excited.

"Elder Xiang Ziyu has returned?"

"That’s great, they’ve finally come back!"

"With this, the number of experts we have at Hundred Peaks Sect will be sufficient!"

"Let’s go, let’s quickly welcome Sect Leader and Elder Xiang Ziyu and the others!"

The higher-ups and experts from Hundred Peaks Sect flew out one after another, and as they just left the Conference Hall, they saw a grand procession coming towards them.

Now, the entire Eastern Wasteland was beginning to fall into chaos, and the Disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect also hoped that their high experts could all return. Now, seeing Ling Xi, Xiang Ziyu, and others returning, they naturally followed along. For a moment, the team of Ling Xi and Xiang Ziyu appeared grand and imposing.

"Elder Xiang, you’ve finally returned. This is wonderful."

Nie Jie let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the returning crowd, his gaze sweeping across their faces—Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu... Xiang...

Suddenly, his gaze froze, full of surprise as he looked behind several people. Behind them, there were over thirty individuals they had not seen before, but notably, their Sect Leader Cao Zhen was missing.
