108: Chapter 108 The Rock Turtle Who Took the Protagonist's Script

Wang Bin stared at Chu Wu and Chu Qingluan, who had suddenly appeared, his mind in a whirl, various thoughts flashing through his brain.

His fingers unconsciously tightened around the Talisman Treasure, his only reliance at that moment.

Meanwhile, Du Xiaoyue looked at Chu Wu and the others with an innocent expression, without the slightest hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Alright, Qingmu (Little Friend), don't be so nervous.

Let Thirteenth Aunt quickly treat this Azure Flame Bird, otherwise it will truly lose its life here.

I also don't know if its Foundation has been injured, or if it will affect its Breakthrough to the third stage in the future."

The middle-aged beautiful woman who had been silently standing behind Chu Qingluan immediately walked quickly to the Azure Flame Bird's side upon hearing this and began to treat it.

"This is not the place to talk. This place is not far from your White Cloud City. Let's go there first and then talk slowly."

As Chu Wu spoke, he gently waved his arm, and a ten-meter-long flying ship instantly appeared out of thin air.

He grabbed the injured Azure Flame Bird and leaped onto the flying ship.

Wang Bin hesitated for only a moment, quickly put Fox Seven's corpse into his Storage Pouch, put away his Flying Cloud Shuttle, and pulled Du Xiaoyue onto the flying ship as well.

Chu Wu then activated the flying ship, and in just fifteen minutes, they arrived above White Cloud City.

Wang Bin took out a Formation Flag, activated the Formation, and the flying ship slowly descended in front of the City Lord's Manor.

Huang Youcai and Chen Jun had already led the guard team to wait in strict Formation at the entrance. Seeing that the City Lord had returned, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their guard.

"You all continue patrolling. We are going to the main hall to discuss important matters. No one is allowed to disturb us."

Wang Bin did not wait for Huang Youcai and the others to respond, but hastily gave his orders, then strode towards the main hall of the City Lord's Manor.

When everyone arrived at the main hall, Chu Wu quickly waved his hands, and several Restrictions were instantly laid down. Only then did he calmly sit on the main seat.

"The reason I suddenly called you out from the Chu Family's side hall this time is because of this Azure Flame Bird.

We received news that this Azure Flame Bird was determined to seek revenge on you and had been inquiring about your whereabouts everywhere.

Their Zhong Sheng Sect truly has some methods; they even have people within West Sea City's inner city, and they've even investigated our Chu Family.

I was worried that if too much time passed, this Azure Flame Bird would flee back into the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, which is why I had you return to White Cloud City to lure it out."

Wang Bin looked at Chu Wu with a bewildered expression, constantly complaining in his heart:

You used me as bait, did I agree?

Alright, you must have been certain I would agree, but even if I would agree, you should have at least told me in advance!

Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart, but he said aloud:

"Haha, for something like this, you just need to give me a heads-up, and I would have returned to White Cloud City long ago. Why would I have delayed these few days in West Sea City?

Besides, I have a vendetta against this Azure Flame Bird for killing my wife, and I will definitely not let it go.

However, doesn't this Azure Flame Bird already have one? It doesn't seem like having more would be of much use, right?"

Chu Wu sighed softly:

"Alas! You don't know, this Zhong Sheng Sect is extremely terrifying. I only recently started paying attention to these reports.

I used to think it was just a cult formed by a disorganized rabble, but I never expected their intelligence System to be able to infiltrate the interior of my Chu Family.

If I had informed you of this beforehand, it might have been detected by the Zhong Sheng Sect's spies.

A Foundation Establishment Realm Azure Flame Bird is indeed of no use for purifying Qingluan's Bloodline anymore, but the Qingluan Bloodline extracted from a Golden Core Realm Azure Flame Bird can purify Qingluan's Bloodline one more time.

This Azure Flame Bird is already at Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection, and it's not difficult for my Chu Family to Cultivate it to the Golden Core Realm."

Chu Wu smiled as he glanced at the Azure Flame Bird receiving treatment.

Wang Bin's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly felt sorry for the Azure Flame Bird, thinking that this Azure Flame Bird finally had a chance to reach Golden Core in this life.

He had no doubt about the Chu Family's ability to Cultivate the Azure Flame Bird into a Golden Core Yao Beast; it was obvious!

However, he still had a question in his mind.

"Hall Master Chu, what exactly is going on with that Zhong Sheng Sect? I've never heard of them before; how did they suddenly appear?"

After all, he had killed a Saint Emissary of the Zhong Sheng Sect, so understanding them was naturally very necessary. Whether in his previous life or in the Cultivation World, no matter what sect, they were usually not to be trifled with.

Chu Wu glanced at Du Xiaoyue, hesitated slightly, then sighed and said:

"Since you two have already had contact with the Zhong Sheng Sect, there's no harm in telling you.

The Zhong Sheng Sect suddenly rose two hundred years ago and has been active in East Sea City, the Tian Yuan Empire, and the sea regions.

Because they are far from our West Sea City, they had no connection with us before.

I only recently paid attention and found out that the Zhong Sheng Sect's leader's true form is actually a Rock Turtle.

You heard correctly, it's just a Rock Turtle with ordinary Bloodline. After reaching adulthood, it would at most be at the Early Stage of a second-tier Yao Beast, which is basically its limit.

But this Rock Turtle Yao Beast somehow obtained a fortuitous encounter. When it reappeared, it had already become a fourth-tier Yao Emperor and founded the Zhong Sheng Sect.

According to news from the Tian Yuan Empire, this Rock Turtle was originally a spiritual pet of a Cultivator Family in the Tian Yuan Empire.

That Cultivator was just a collateral Disciple of a Golden Core Family, with mediocre Aptitude, so he did not receive much attention from the Family.

His Family was near the sea, and the resources were quite good.

When he officially Broke Through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, his Family gave him this Rock Turtle egg, so he had this spiritual pet with little potential. Its later development was just as the Family expected.

When he reached seventy years old, he was still stuck in the Qi Refining Middle Stage. Disheartened, he took this Rock Turtle and traveled through Mortal countries.

As he was about to pass away, he released this Rock Turtle back into the sea.

Although the Rock Turtle is a low-tier Yao Beast, turtle Yao Beasts have always been long-lived. It is unknown what this Rock Turtle experienced with its master among Mortals.

Two hundred years later, when it reappeared, it had already become a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Emperor, and it had even Broken Through the Bloodline Restrictions of its race, calling itself Great Sage Pingtian, and founded the Zhong Sheng Sect, proclaiming the equality of all living beings to the outside world."

Wang Bin did not show too much shock after hearing this, but merely said calmly:

"As the saying goes, in the Major Thousand Worlds, there is nothing too strange to be found.

It is precisely because of these unknowns that life is full of fun.

However, it is just a Nascent Soul Yao Beast. Compared to our Four Seas Commerce League, it shouldn't be considered a big enemy, should it?"

"You don't understand the Zhong Sheng Sect's doctrine. They advocate the equality of all living beings. Even a Yao Beast with no potential can receive respect and opportunities in the Zhong Sheng Sect.

Therefore, it quickly attracted a large number of Mortals, low-level Cultivators, and Yao Beasts to join, and its power rapidly grew."

"Wait, they even accept Mortals?

Mortals and Cultivators are inherently unequal; this is destined."

Wang Bin couldn't help but interrupt Chu Wu's words. Chu Wu didn't get angry; instead, he said with a solemn expression:

"This is precisely the most terrifying aspect of the Zhong Sheng Sect.

They can actually allow Mortals to possess Spiritual Roots. They transplant Cultivators' Spiritual Roots onto Mortals, and can even transplant Yao Beasts' Bloodlines onto Mortals or low-level Yao Beasts.

Although the success rate is extremely low, less than one percent, do you know how great the temptation this is for those Mortals and low-level Cultivators?

You also know that the most numerous beings in this world are Mortals, followed by low-level Cultivators and Yao Beasts.

Although there are some natural treasures that can allow Mortals to possess Spiritual Roots, they are too rare. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot afford them, let alone Mortals.

How many Mortals are willing to give up everything to achieve immortality and enter the Cultivation World?

Of course, the Spiritual Roots transplanted by the Zhong Sheng Sect are not without flaws. After Spiritual Root transplantation, the Spiritual Root will at least drop by one to two grades.

For example, if a High Grade Fire Spiritual Root is transplanted, it might become a Medium Grade Fire Spiritual Root on a Mortal, and there's an even greater chance it will become a Low Grade Fire Spiritual Root.

Especially with multi-Spiritual Root transplantation, many who succeed are even inferior to Five Spiritual Roots Cultivators.

Therefore, the Cultivation Aptitude of people who have had Spiritual Roots transplanted by the Zhong Sheng Sect is generally low.

However, there are also those with excellent Luck and strong willpower among them. In the past hundred years, there have already been people with transplanted Spiritual Roots who have Cultivated to the Golden Core Realm.

The most terrifying thing is, according to a Nascent Soul Cultivator who once fought against Great Sage Pingtian, the Zhong Sheng Sect's leader, Great Sage Pingtian, genuinely pursues the equality of all living beings, and is not merely deceiving people.

This kind of pure person is the most terrifying, and he is also extremely mysterious, rarely showing himself."
