The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 549: Throwing a Stone to Ask the Way

“Who on earth was that? I wasn’t wrong, was I? That massive corpse was our Tortoise Sect’s guardian spirit beast, the Black Tortoise!

Our guardian beast… our guardian beast was actually roasted!”

Even after completely escaping the area around the pond, Xuan Yuan and his companion were still filled with shock, their eyes filled with endless fear.

The sight they had witnessed was too overwhelming.

Most importantly, as the strongest beings left in the Tortoise Sect, they were completely unaware of what had happened.

“We must report this to the upper sect and ask the elders there to handle the matter. This situation is beyond our capabilities.”

After pondering for a moment, Xuan Yuan said.

“The Black Tortoise was sent here to guard the Qingzhou branch of our Tortoise Sect when it was founded.

It has grown to the level of a sixth-class demon beast here, and its bloodline is quite decent. The upper sect will certainly not ignore its demise.”

As they spoke, Xuan Yuan and his fellow disciple walked towards a seemingly ancient stone hall deep within the Tortoise Sect.

The door of the hall was engraved with countless mysterious runes.

After a series of complicated procedures, they finally managed to open the door.

Inside the hall, there was a rather large altar, also made of stone, with intricate runes forming a complex pattern.

The two of them placed over a hundred high-grade spirit stones on the altar.

The energy from the spirit stones erupted, instantly activating the array.

At that moment, a powerful wave of energy spread out from the Stone Hall through the entire Tortoise Sect, quickly reaching the pond where Su Jingzhen and Bai Suzhen were.

When Su Jingzhen felt this wave, he suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the Stone Hall.

“It seems that the Tortoise Sect really does have a strong foundation, just like you said, Suzhen.

They’re not from Qingzhou. Are they calling for reinforcements?” Su Jingzhen’s tone was clearly tinged with excitement as he spoke.

This time, with Bai Suzhen’s help, Su Jingzhen did not take any detours.

He emerged directly from the island in the heart of the Mist Swamp and easily arrived at the Tortoise Sect.

The Tortoise Sect, relying on the natural illusionary formation around its periphery and its pride as a subordinate sect of the Luo River Basin, had not activated any defenses.

Therefore, when Su Jingzhen found the place, he infiltrated it effortlessly.

However, once inside the Tortoise Sect’s territory, it was a breeze for Bai Suzhen to find their guardian spirit beast.

And this time, it was Bai Suzhen herself who took action to lure and control the giant tortoise.

The turtle did not put up much of a fight before being killed by Su Jingzhen with a brick.

The Tortoise Sect’s guardian beast had reached the level of a sixth-class creature, comparable to a human cultivator of the Divine Intent Realm, which was a bit of a surprise to Su Jingzhen.

But he was even more pleased.

After all, another sixth-class great demon had been reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and he had obtained a crystal core of a sixth-class beast that was pure and flawless.

As for the arrival of Xuan Yuan and the other person, it was within their expectations.

With the spirit vein gone, the spiritual energy here would drop significantly in a short time.

If the current leader of the Tortoise Sect was not foolish, they would inevitably come to investigate.

Even the reactions of Xuan Yuan and the other person were anticipated by Su Jingzhen and Bai Suzhen.

Earlier, when Su Jingzhen and his group discovered that the Tortoise Sect had an upper sect in the Luo River basin, they had already made other decisions.

He wanted to see if the Heavenly Dragon Clan really valued him so much.

He also wanted to test whether the Heavenly Dragon Clan in the Luo River Basin was really so formidable.

Using the Tortoise Sect as a test subject was the most suitable.

After all, the two Soul Formation level cultivators from the Tortoise Sect had also gone to the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect and shown such murderous intentions toward him.

And they had personally taken action.

Therefore, when it came to dealing with the Tortoise Sect, Su Jingzhen felt no psychological burden.

“Put that big turtle away. We just ate the black python in the morning, so I am not that hungry right now.

We can eat it after we take care of these things.”

Bai Suzhen looked in the direction where the commotion had come from.

Then she looked at the giant turtle behind them, still full of delicious meat, and said to Su Jingzhen.

“By the way, the shell of this giant tortoise is quite good. If it can be refined, it can be made into a pretty decent defensive artifact,” Bai Suzhen added.

Su Jingzhen nodded. This sixth-level giant tortoise was practically a treasure trove.

Of course, he wouldn’t let it go to waste.

As the saying goes, even if he doesn’t need it, the people around him certainly will.

Previously, in the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, the two Soul Formation stage cultivators of the Tortoise Sect had formed an Immovable Tortoise Seal, which was indeed extremely formidable in terms of defense.

The innate runes on the tortoise shell could also be studied.

In Su Jingzhen’s view, if he could obtain and improve the Immovable Tortoise Seal, his defensive capabilities would reach a new level.

After Su Jingzhen put the giant tortoise away, Bai Suzhen transformed back into a belt and wrapped around his waist.

Su Jingzhen then headed directly towards the direction where the disturbance had come from.

With Bai Suzhen by his side and willing to act for him, he naturally had no worries.

This time, along the way, Su Jingzhen saw many Tortoise Sect disciples heading towards the Ancient Stone Hall as well.

Each of them seemed to have a hint of panic in their expressions.

Obviously, as disciples of the Tortoise Sect, they knew what the arrival of this disturbance meant.

“It is said that when the Ancestral Tortoise Hall emits a disturbance, it is the day of great calamity for the Tortoise Sect!”

“Rumor has it that the two elders who accompanied the top forces to the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect a few days ago have already perished.

Could it be that our Tortoise Sect is truly facing a great disaster?”

“The future is uncertain this time. Everyone should be mentally prepared. If something goes wrong, it might be like a tree falling and the monkeys scattering.”

“……”

Hidden in the shadows, Su Jingzhen overheard various discussions among the Tortoise Sect disciples.

He sneered coldly, thinking that the Tortoise Sect’s intelligence work for ordinary disciples was indeed well done.

Soon, he and the Tortoise Sect disciples arrived at the location of the ancient stone hall.

At that moment, the entire stone hall glowed with a yellowish light.

A ray of light shot into the sky, accompanied by an intense spatial fluctuation.

It seemed like something was about to descend from there.

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen’s excitement grew even more.

“Suzhen, is this the arrival of the upstream sect you mentioned?

I wonder in what level of cultivators they will be. Do you have confidence, Suzhen?”

Their purpose here was simple: to cause trouble!

If they just wanted to wipe out that branch sect in the Qingzhou region, it would basically be of no concern to the upstream sect.

The upstream sect would follow the law of survival. If those branch sects in the Qingzhou area couldn’t even hold their own and were wiped out, they wouldn’t have anything to say, and they wouldn’t even bother to take revenge.

But if they wiped out the people from the upstream sect as well, then things would be different.

As the saying goes, throwing a stone is like asking for directions, and for Su Jingzhen, the Tortoise Sect was his stone to pave the way.

Using the Tortoise Sect to stir up the winds and clouds to test the Heavenly Dragon Sect!
