Chapter 1188: Things Are Different

“Mr. Liu, oh no, Senior Liu already knows about this.” The old man surnamed Yan changed his address to Liu Ming again.

“Mr. Yan, you don’t need to use the word senior. You and I are still friends of the same generation. You can just call me by my name.” Liu Ming shook his head and said.

“How dare I. Senior Liu has advanced to the Real Pellet State, how can I be presumptuous.” The old man surnamed Yan said hastily.

“No matter what my cultivation is, I will always be a disciple of the Savage Ghost Sect. You should not be so polite, otherwise I will feel a little uncomfortable.” Liu Ming said calmly.

“Since Mr. Liu said so, I will do as you say.” The old man surnamed Yan hurriedly agreed.

“As you know, a hundred years ago, Siren King came back to the Sea Region. He not only improved his cultivation, but he also rebuilt the Sea Emperor Palace and gathered a large number of old minions. These years, he has been gradually conquering the islands in the Sea Region. The original Sea Region Royal Family has also been subdued by him. Now, they have become the main force invading our Yunchuan. The truce agreement between us and Sea Creature Clan was originally due to Siren King, now they have become Siren King’s minions, this agreement is naturally voided. If it weren’t that our Yunchuan Continent is located in a remote place and the Yunchuan Alliance is united, I’m afraid that it would have been annexed by Siren King… But even so, under the current situation, I’m afraid that it will not last long.” The old man surnamed Yan said slowly again with a bitter expression.

“As for our sect, due to the frequent wars with the Sea Creature Clan these years, our vitality has been greatly damaged. Our strength is only 30% of what it was back then. The same is true for other sects of the Yunchuan Alliance.” After a pause, the old man surnamed Yan continued.

“By the way. I wonder how are the Nine Infant Faction doing now?” Liu Ming nodded, then he asked again.

Liu Ming had learned a little about Siren King and Sea Creature Clan from Zhang Xiuniang. As for the crisis in the Yunchuan Continent, he roughly expected it.

“Nephew Disciple Gui, the master of the Nine Infant Faction, unfortunately died in a battle with the Sea Creature Clan more than 10 years ago. Now there is only Nephew Disciple Zhong left as the Spirit Master of the Nine Infant Faction.” The old man surnamed Yan sighed and said slowly.

Liu Ming was relieved to hear that the nun surnamed Zhong was still alive. He could only sigh secretly for the Gui Ruquan’s demise.

Back then, there were not many outstanding disciples in the Nine Infant Faction. Yu Cheng died in the enchantment of Fujiao Island. Shi Chuan fell in the life-and-death trial. The sect had been frequently fighting over the years, resulting in even more scarce resources. It was normal that no one advanced to Spirit Master.

“As for other factions, the situation is similar…” Sect Master Huang Shi on the side continued.

After some questioning, Liu Ming found helplessly that very few of his acquaintances from the Savage Ghost Sect were still alive today.

Master’s Junior Ruan, who taught him the 4 levels of Hell Bone Secret, failed to break through the bottleneck of the Condensation Period intermediate stage. He had passed away due to old age.

Master’s Junior Lei from the Heavenly Mechanism Faction and the former master of Jia Lan from the Yin Sha Faction, also fell successively in the battles with Sea Creature Clan in these years.

Mu Yunxian and Du Hai, who used to have a good relationship with him, had become taoist couples a hundred years ago. Afterward, Du Hai felt that there was no hope of breaking through the Spirit Master, so they both returned to their own family. They were no longer in the Savage Ghost Sect.

On the contrary, Qian Huiniang, who was from the Ghost Dance Faction, had advanced to the Condensation Period after several attempts. Zhang Cui’er, a quirky girl, had grown up too. She had also cultivated to the Condensation Period intermediate stage and had become a pillar of the intermediate forces.

Gao Chong had the earth spiritual pulse. After years of cultivation, like Zhang Xiuniang, he had already reached the Condensation Period later stage perfect stage. He was the most promising person in the sect to advance to the Crystallization Period.

As for the rather mysterious Yang Gan, he left the sect suddenly a hundred years ago, and there was no news from him since then.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Yang is not in the sect anymore?” Liu Ming frowned slightly. Among the Spirit Masters of the younger generation of the Savage Ghost sect, only Yang Qian had some kind of friendship with him. He didn’t expect that he was no longer in the sect after he returned.

“The origin of Yang Gan was quite mysterious. Back then, a mysterious Crystallization Period cultivator recommended him to join this sect, and he promised a large amount of resources. Although I hesitated at the time, I accepted him in consideration for our sect. Not long after the war with Sea Creature Clan broke out, this person suddenly appeared and took Yang Gan away. There was no news after that.” After thinking about it for a while, the old man surnamed Yan said.

“Oh, Senior Fellow Apprentice Yang has such a history?” Liu Ming said a little surprised.

“Regarding the origin of Yang Gan, we have also secretly investigated, but we found nothing. He had not done anything abnormal in the sect, so we didn’t investigate this matter further.” Sect Master Huang Shi interjected.

Liu Ming nodded slowly with his eyes flickering.

“When our sect was in its prime, there were nearly 30 Spirit Masters, but now there are only a dozen or so left. My lifespan is about to end soon, so the current situation is extremely critical to our sect. However, after you return, these are no longer problems.” The old man surnamed Yan said meaningfully to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming smiled slightly, but he did not speak.

“We have to quickly notify the faction masters and Spirit Masters about Senior Liu’s return. Later, we will hold a welcome ceremony to celebrate that our sect has a Real Pellet State powerhouse. All the disciples in the sect will come to greet senior.” Sect Master Huang Shi said with an apologetic smile after thinking about it.

“That’s right, that’s exactly what it should be. I was so pleased with myself that I forgot about it. Nephew Disciple Huang, you can go ahead and handle it.” The old man surnamed Yan nodded in agreement and instructed.

Sect Master Huang Shi agreed and stood up.

“Wait a minute! I don’t like to cause such a huge commotion, so avoid this if possible.” Liu Ming waved his hand to stop him.

The old man surnamed Yan and Sect Master Huang Shi were startled when they heard the words.

“Since Mr. Liu doesn’t like this, let’s make it brief and only let the Spirit Masters of each faction meet Mr. Liu later, how about that?” The old man surnamed Yan pondered for a moment, and he said in a consulting tone.

“Okay. I plan to go back to Mountain Nine Infant to have a look.” Liu Ming couldn’t reject their kindness, so he stood up and said.

The old man surnamed Yan and Sect Master Huang Shi naturally did not stop Liu Ming and immediately sent him out of the hall.

After Liu Ming’s scape light flashed, he immediately toward Mountain Nine Infant.

“I really didn’t expect that a Three Spiritual Pulse disciple back then can cultivate to the Real Pellet State later stage. This is absolutely unexpected.” Seeing Liu Ming flying away, Huang Shi murmured in disbelief.

“Mr. Liu is able to reach this realm, he must have a more complicated adventure than he mentioned, but we don’t have to care about this. Mr. Liu is our biggest backer. We must try our best to hold him. You first inform the faction masters, then we will discuss the welcome ceremony.” After thinking about it for a while, the old man surnamed Yan instructed again.

“Yes, Master’s Junior Yan is more considerate. I will arrange it right away.” Sect Master Huang Shi hastily agreed and walk down quickly.

After Huang Shi left, the old man surnamed Yan stood at the entrance of the hall for a while, thinking about something. He left quickly after a while.

At this time, Liu Ming had already come to a mountain peak.

Looking from a distance, although the dozen tall buildings on the top of the mountain looked a bit dilapidated, he still recognized it at a glance. This was the Mountain Nine Infant where he stayed when he first joined.

After a black light flashed, he came to a stone house on the mountainside.

This was the small courtyard where he lived in the past. It didn’t seem to have changed much at the moment, but the entire courtyard seemed to have been empty and uninhabited. The courtyard was covered with thick dust.

Liu Ming had a look of reminiscence.

At that time, he pretended to be a disciple of the Bai Family and entered the Nine Infant Faction with the qualification of Three Spiritual Pulse. He grew from an unknown write-in disciple to a Spirit Master who later attracted the attention of the sect. The bits and pieces of it were still vivid even though many years had passed.

After a while, Liu Ming shook his head. He continued to move toward the top of Mountain Nine Infant.

When he appeared in front of the main hall of the Mountain Nine Infant, he was startled.

On the square in front of the main hall, there stood a purple-robed nun with white temples, behind her were more than 20 disciples of the Nine Infant Faction. They lined up on both sides respectfully.

The nun in a purple robe looked about 50 years old with slight wrinkles around her eyes. One could vaguely see her youthful beauty.

This person was the nun surnamed Zhong.

Seeing Liu Ming’s figure, the nun surnamed Zhong trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Ming’s calm mind had a slight ripple as if he had time traveled more than a hundred years ago. When he was just brought to Mountain Nine Infant…

“Master.” Liu Ming took a deep breath, quickly calmed down and bowed respectfully to the nun surnamed Zhong.

“The sect master has just notified me, but I still can’t believe it. After so many years, you are now already a Real Pellet State cultivator. Although you and I were master and disciple, things have changed. I really dare not call you my disciple.” The nun surnamed Zhong examined Liu Ming carefully a few times. Her eyes were full of relief, but she still smiled wryly.

“Master, what are you saying? Back then, I received your great favor many times. No matter what time it is, I will always be your disciple.” Liu Ming raised his head and said word by word.

When Daoist Zhong heard the words, her expression changed. She seemed to be moved and seemed to sigh a little. She opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything after all.

“Master, are these all disciples of the Nine Infant Faction?” Liu Ming changed the topic and glanced at the 2 rows of Spirit Apostle cultivators behind.

These disciples all looked very young. Most of them were at the early stage and intermediate stage of Spirit Apostle. There were only a few of them at the later stage.

“Yes, most of them are new disciples in the past 10 years or so.” The nun surnamed Zhong looked back at the disciples behind her and nodded.

“Greetings, Senior Liu!” The 2 rows of disciples bowed to Liu Ming in unison.

“Okay, there’s no need to be too polite.” Liu Ming nodded. He suddenly grabbed his hand. A black halo appeared above all the disciples and covered them.
