Chapter 92: Rebellious Rumors (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Votes)
Therefore, the Rewards for completed missions were also few and meager.
To go! meant the greatest gains, so missions to Spider Mountain, even if they were simple garrison duties, were much more abundant than those at Mysterious Bone Mountain.
A mere ten years was better than staying at the Sect Gate and losing his life.
Moreover, he had passed through Night Jade Province twice, it wasn't unfamiliar to him.
The journey was only about two months, and he had ample Cultivation Resources in hand, and lacked neither Secret Method nor Mystical Arts. It was a good place to go.
Quickly making a decision, a smile appeared on Wang Yu's face.
"I accept."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Situ Hong, for going to the trouble for me, Junior Brother. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Situ Hong heard this, stared at him for a while, and after a long time, slowly nodded, "Junior Brother Wang, I won't say empty words. Although you are from Spirit Slave origins, and your Aptitude is a problem, you still have some hope of breaking through to Foundation Establishment in the future."
"After all, I'm not much better off myself, Peach Blossom Ghost Mother… she could make me or break me, alas~"
The other party suddenly sighed, seemed to want to say something, but still held back. Now was clearly not the right time to say these things.
"Today I am helping you, also hoping that you will help me in the future."
"Let it be like this."
Situ Hong took out the mission scroll, and after letting Wang Yu imprint his name with his Disciple Token, he left, heavy-hearted.
Wang Yu understood a bit of what idea he had, but it was a bit hard to say. He didn't understand what potential Situ Hong saw in him. Peach Blossom Ghost Mother… that was a Core Formation Stage cultivator.
Forget it, thinking about this was useless.
Debts of gratitude were hard to repay. If he was a bit shameless and didn't keep his promises, it would also be okay, but in the Great Dye Vat of the Demonic Path, he was already transforming towards a bloodthirsty and tyrannical side.
His personality and the young master of the Wang family in Stone Lake City had long since undergone earth-shattering changes.
If there were no principles and bottom lines in his heart, he would become Demonic sooner or later.
"Alas…"
The departure time for the Spider Mountain mission was a month later. At that time, they would gather in the square of All Halls Ward. In addition to colleagues from Five Yin Peak, there would also be a group of disciples from Frigid Blood Peak.
It was a large-scale mission, and the number of participants would exceed even Mysterious Bone Mountain, estimated to be around six hundred to a thousand people, with two Foundation Establishment Stage leaders.
During this waiting time, Wang Yu began to inquire about relevant information about this mission, including who the Foundation Establishment leader was? What was their personality like? Whose True Inheritor's person they were… and so on.
He also showed his face in Evil Deity Market, to avoid True Inheritor Su not finding him and causing misunderstandings.
In this way, only half a month passed.
A piece of news shocked Wang Yu so much he almost jumped up. Rumors said that True Inheritor Wei Chong of Frigid Blood Peak's Cave Dwelling had a considerable commotion today, and dozens of Sound Transmission Talismans flew out, saying that he would emerge from seclusion after a month.
This news alone, although it caused quite a stir, was not enough to make Wang Yu react like this.
After all, he would be departing for Spider Mountain after a month.
The problem lay in another piece of news. There was grapevine news saying that a Frigid Blood Peak Core Formation Stage cultivator had perished in the "Waterfall Mountain Wei Clan."
Even more people said they had personally seen five Foundation Establishment elders of the Wei Clan set up a trap with a Formation, framing and harming the Frigid Blood Core Formation cultivator to death.
It was said vividly and in detail, and quickly spread throughout the entire Inverse Spirit Blood Sect. There must be a mastermind behind this.
Waterfall Mountain Wei Clan, Wei Chong's family.
Combining the current situation, Wang Yu almost instantly judged that it was True Inheritor Su who had made the move.
This coincided with the poisonous plan he had initially thought of.
Forcibly slandering Wei Chong's family behind him, forcing them to rebel.
He just hadn't expected True Inheritor Su to be so willing to sacrifice his foundation, a Core Formation Stage cultivator killed as soon as he said so.
Of course, it was also possible that it was a Core Formation elder who was not on good terms with him. The water inside was too deep, hard to say.
Once this kind of thing happened, it meant Wei Chong and True Inheritor Su had completely become mortal enemies, the kind who would not rest until one of them died.
In the next stage, it would be time to compare backgrounds.
Theoretically speaking, True Inheritor Su's background far surpassed Wei Chong's, but in the True Inheritor competition, Wei Chong had won, this was an undeniable fact.
Wang Yu couldn't judge at all what direction things would develop in, but he… couldn't participate in the slightest.
A few more days later, as the rumors fermented.
The Law Enforcement Main Hall of All Halls Ward had no choice but to come forward, issuing a statement saying they would dispatch a team of elites to Waterfall Mountain Wei Clan to investigate.
The problem was, Wei Chong had not yet emerged from seclusion, meaning Waterfall Mountain Wei Clan's biggest backer had no way to act. If this team from the Law Enforcement Main Hall died at Waterfall Mountain.
Then it would truly be like being covered in mud, guilty or not!
In this way, Wei Chong would fall into a great disadvantage.
True Inheritor Su was taking a risk, but once successful, the gains would also be enormous.
However, don't forget this was the Demonic Path.
As long as Wei Chong cut ties quickly enough, he would still be Frigid Blood Peak's number one True Inheritor. When he finished accepting the Nascent Soul inheritance, and then turned back to retaliate…
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made Wang Yu want to pack up and leave.
"This is also good, the more ruthless Su's methods are, the more hatred he attracts. Wei Chong should not pay attention to a small character like me."
"But what about the other eight True Inheritors? Why is there no movement at all?"
Wang Yu was heavy-hearted, and frequently urged Situ Hong's side, hoping the Spider Mountain trip would depart as soon as possible.
There were too many rumors and slanders within the Sect, each one sounding more frightening than the last, he really couldn't stay any longer.
Fortunately, half a month later.
Which was September of the 9th year of Wang Yu's outer sect career, a mighty and grand team assembled completely, totaling eight hundred people, half from Five Yin Peak and half from Frigid Blood Peak.
The leader on Five Yin Peak's side was a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivator. Wang Yu didn't recognize him, but Situ Hong had also joined this mission, nodding to Wang Yu from afar as a signal.
On Frigid Blood Peak's side, it was a young woman wearing a veil, her cultivation should be at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, estimated to have just broken through not long ago, her aura was still unstable.
Seeing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but frown.
According to the information he had inquired, the Frigid Blood Peak leader should have been a Foundation Establishment male cultivator called Chen Yuan, unexpectedly they had temporarily changed people.
Without waiting for him to think more, as an exceptionally large Spirit Boat unfolded, a cold and clear voice came to his ears.
"Get on board, depart."
Land Spirit Boat!
This thing was different from Gu Zhengshun's Bone Boat last time. This was a true large-scale Magic Artifact, ranked as third-grade low-rank, with a ship body length exceeding a hundred meters, and a small palace at the stern.
Both sides of the ship's rail were inserted with two pairs of huge cyan-gold wings, representing wind attribute Spirit Runes distributed on them, combining practicality and aesthetics.
There were also some small pavilions and an open-air building similar to an observatory, which should be the place to control the Spirit Boat, with an extremely good view.
This thing accommodating eight hundred people was more than enough. Below the deck, there were also two layers of cabins, which should be temporary living rooms, estimated to be able to accommodate two thousand people, or three thousand if squeezed.
Going out to do a mission, he was unexpectedly able to hitch a ride on a third-grade large-scale Magic Artifact, truly broadening Wang Yu's horizons!
In fact, it wasn't just him, other people were also marveling at this thing's luxury, clearly seeing it for the first time.
Even that Foundation Establishment from Five Yin Peak was also marveling repeatedly, his attitude towards the veiled woman becoming even more respectful, not entirely because of the cultivation difference.
It seemed this person's identity was not simple.
Also going out to avoid disaster? Such an idea suddenly flashed through Wang Yu's mind.
