Chapter 63 Senior Brother
Following the directions given by the two main peak disciples, Lin Yuan quickly found several Sword Sect disciples.
Their situation was slightly worse than the Sword Sect disciples from before; only one of them was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage and was injured.
If Lin Yuan hadn't arrived in time, something terrible would have happened—this was the predicament faced by many cultivators within the Water Mansion. If they had the ability, they would have already left the Water Mansion. Those who couldn't leave were generally in dire straits.
"Thank you, senior brother!" The injured disciple from the main peak was very grateful.
"Do you know where the disciples of other sects are?" Lin Yuan didn't waste any words.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, we've been trapped here ever since the water beast uprising began." The disciple from the main peak lowered his head.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No need to apologize, you've already done very well."
The injured disciple was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. If he ignored his fellow disciples, he could easily leave the Water Mansion.
"Can you leave the Water Palace on your own?"
The disciple from the main peak nodded: "Although we suffered some injuries, protecting our fellow disciples and sisters and getting them out of the Water Mansion shouldn't be a problem."
He knew that the senior brother in front of him was probably there to support others.
"Okay, be careful, remember to stay on the water, it's safer on the water." Lin Yuan gave a few instructions and then left.
The disciple from the main peak looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Is this senior brother here to provide support? May I ask which peak you are from? Once this matter is settled, we must express our sincere gratitude."
……
Lin Yuan continued his search within the palace complex.
The entire palace complex is now in complete disarray.
Water creatures roam everywhere.
Along the way, Lin Yuan encountered two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect who were being chased by water beasts. He casually killed the water beasts without leaving any words.
The two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect looked at each other in bewilderment after the crisis was over.
"That senior from earlier, he seemed to be from the Sword Sect, right?"
"Indeed, those were the robes of a Sword Sect disciple, and they actually saved us..."
"I wonder who it is. If I have the chance, I will definitely thank them properly."
"Let's go outside first and talk about these things. The Water Mansion has suddenly fallen into chaos. What exactly happened?"
……
After rescuing the third group of Sword Sect disciples, Lin Yuan's identity token finally received new information.
He glanced at it and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally here?"
The longer it goes on, the worse the condition of the fellow disciples becomes.
"The number of disciples stranded isn't as high as I imagined, but it's not small either. Are there forty-eight places where they're trapped in total?"
Where is Lin Chao?
As long as Lin Yuan doesn't throw away his identity token, Lin Chao will definitely be among those positions.
However, the sect only provided the location without specifying who it was.
"With his abilities, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Then, Lin Yuan chose the nearest location and moved forward at full speed.
Wang Qiudao had already parted ways with Sun Minglong, and he had also seen the sect's news.
"Ha, do you want me to go and rescue people? What a joke. The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities you can get. Maybe you can even get your hands on some opportunities that others have obtained in your memories."
"Anyway, nobody knows."
Sun Minglong also received the message.
He had a good opportunity in the Water Mansion, and now his combat strength has reached the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing Realm.
Looking at the information on the identity token, he remained silent for a long time before heading towards the next location on the information.
"To completely defeat Lin Chao, you need sect prestige, that's right."
Lin Chaoze remains in seclusion.
He escaped successfully thanks to the water beast, then swallowed the pill and began seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, he was unaware of what was happening outside.
Tianyun had actually noticed something unusual about the outside world, but he did not remind Lin Chao.
After all, in his view, nothing was more important than a breakthrough.
……
With a specific location, Lin Yuan's efficiency improved significantly.
Before long, he reached the fourth position.
After successfully rescuing the person, they rushed to another location without stopping.
However, this time, he was too late.
A powerful water beast broke through the palace.
He could tell that the battle was very intense at the time.
But in the end, the Sword Sect disciples still couldn't hold on.
In the end, not even a corpse was left.
Not far away, a whale-like aquatic beast, several dozen feet long, was still wreaking havoc. Upon spotting him, it opened its blood-red maw and charged towards him.
Lin Yuan's expression turned cold, and a spiritual blade materialized in his hand.
Spiritual energy began to gather in the mouth of the water beast.
Instantly, terrifying waves surged in the surrounding waters, forming a massive underwater whirlpool. The water currents unleashed terrifying power, tearing everything apart, as if the water beast was mobilizing the power of the water to press down on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan felt the pressure on his body. A faint light shone from his body as all his spiritual patterns were activated. He floated in the water source, completely unaffected.
"go!"
He threw the spirit blade in his hand.
"roar!"
The water beast let out a roar, and then a huge, deep blue water ball, at least ten feet long, quickly condensed in its mouth and was launched like a cannonball.
In an instant, the spirit blade collided with the water sphere.
"Whoosh!"
After a muffled sound, the spirit blade easily shattered the water sphere, cutting it in two, as if this was not a supernatural power of the water beast, but just an ordinary water sphere.
After breaking through the water sphere, the spirit blade suddenly expanded to twenty or thirty feet, quickly sweeping past the whale-like water beast's body.
The whale-like aquatic beast wanted to resist, but before it could make a move, Lin Yuan turned and left.
Immediately afterwards, countless drops of bright red blood gushed from the water beast's body, staining the surrounding waters red.
The water beast had already lost its life force.
It was cleaved in two by the spirit blade.
On the other side, Lin Yuan, who was on his way to the next place, took a pill to restore his qi and blood and was also thinking.
"The Spirit Blade is so effective! It easily suppressed the water beast's supernatural powers even underwater."
This result surprised him.
Generally speaking, when supernatural powers clash, there are two possibilities for victory.
One can either win by sheer numbers, having enough spiritual power to overwhelm the opponent.
One must win through quality. After a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm gathers Qi, their spiritual power undergoes a transformation, enabling them to overwhelm the supernatural abilities of a cultivator in the Fetal Breathing Realm.
He had just sensed the power of the water beast and used a considerable amount of spiritual energy, thus using about 60% of his Dao Seed's spiritual energy.
However, compared to the water spheres of whale-like aquatic beasts, it is still far inferior.
As a result, the Spirit Blade completely crushed the opponent.
"I tested it within the sect and found that using the spiritual energy of the Dao Seed to unleash supernatural powers would enhance their power. Now it seems that the effect is even better than I imagined."
"That water beast must be at least at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, right? The spiritual blade used with the Dao Seed spiritual energy not only suppressed its supernatural powers but also easily broke through its spiritual energy defense. The amount of spiritual energy was insufficient, but the essence of the Dao Seed spiritual energy was too high."
"That's not bad."
For him, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
This means that his strength is even greater than expected.
And some time after Lin Yuan left.
Two other disciples of the Sword Sect arrived at the scene.
"Where are our fellow disciples? Why is the whole area stained red?"
"Look over there! A water beast has been slain!"
"What an enormous water beast..." a disciple exclaimed, then his expression changed. "The aura of this water beast is terrifying; it's probably comparable to a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator."
Upon hearing this, the other disciple's expression also turned tense: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"I have a special ability to sense things, and I'm sure I'm right. Even though this water beast is dead, the life force it left behind is no weaker than that of my senior brother who is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage in the sect."
"Are there cultivators within the Water Mansion capable of slaying a water beast at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
"It might not be a cultivator, but some kind of special water beast. But there's no doubt that there's a terrifying being inside the Water Mansion. We need to leave quickly and get our fellow disciples out of here as soon as possible."
The two quickly made a judgment.
A terrifying being capable of slaying a water beast at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage in the water would be incredibly frightening if it were an enemy.
The two immediately headed to their next destination.
……
Lin Yuan used the Wind Control Technique in the water.
With the spiritual energy of his Dao seed enhanced, his speed became extremely fast.
In less than half an hour, he arrived at the place where the twenty Sword Sect disciples had gathered and successfully rescued them.
He killed some of the aquatic beasts, and drove others away.
After all, the sect leader had said that it was best not to kill these water beasts indiscriminately.
Otherwise, it may cause some unforeseen circumstances.
"Senior brother, thank you very much. We will send these junior brothers away and come back to provide support immediately," said the main peak disciple who was rescued by Lin Yuan.
"Be careful." Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything more.
He rescued more than twenty places from the gathering of his forty-odd disciples.
In these places, disciples at the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage or above sent away the weaker individuals and then returned to provide support, rescuing more than ten places in the same way.
After the rescued people leave, the sect will update their location information.
Now only seven locations still have location information.
Of course, Lin Yuan was actually very clear about this.
Two of the locations failed to hold out.
There are actually five places left.
One of the places is most likely where Lin Chao is located.
"What bad luck."
After searching so many places, I still haven't found the person I was looking for.
Of course, Lin Yuan's luck wasn't completely bad either.
He found Lin Chao at the next location.
However, Lin Chao seemed to be in seclusion, and his aura was changing drastically.
"A breakthrough?" Lin Yuan sensed the reason for this anomaly. "It should be over soon."
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking...
Lin Chao's aura suddenly surged, then abruptly subsided.
Breakthrough achieved!
Lin Yuan just couldn't quite figure out what level this was.
It seems to be somewhat different from the embryonic breathing realm.
He didn't pay much attention, but Lin Chao arrived just in time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to go to the next place so easily.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan used his identity token to leave a message for Lin Chao, saying, "Lin Chao, look at the information in the identity token."
After saying that, he left and went to the next place.
After Lin Chao finished consolidating his position, he immediately checked his identity token and saw the information provided by Lin Yuan and the sect.
After reading it, his expression darkened: "So many things have happened in the Water Palace... We must go and rescue them first."
Without the slightest hesitation, he headed towards a certain place.
Tianyun's voice echoed in Lin Yuan's mind: "I did not notify you at the crucial moment of your breakthrough."
"Master, that's not what I'm concerned about. What I'm thinking is whether I caused these disturbances, since I used the water beast..." Lin Chao said with some guilt.
If that's the case, then all the calamities suffered by the sect's disciples are because of him.
Tianyun immediately said, "How could it be related to you? You can't control the behavior of the water beasts. Besides, didn't the Sword Sect's message say that this was a scheme by the Beast Taming Sect?"
Lin Chao didn't continue speaking, but simply sped up.
Perhaps so!
Lin Chao eventually rescued his fellow disciples in one place, and all the surviving disciples of the sect were found.
After Lin Yuan found that the remaining spots were empty, he headed towards the exit of the Water Mansion.
On the way, he encountered the last group of disciples leaving the Water Mansion.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan, they were very excited: "Senior Brother, you're back?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "We've been to all the seats, there's nowhere else. It's time to go."
He killed many aquatic beasts this time, and fearing something unexpected might happen, he dared not linger.
"We were able to leave this time thanks to you, senior brother, otherwise..." A disciple from the main peak said with great relief.
Before this, he was only one step away from death.
"It's nothing." Having found Lin Chao and saved all the fellow disciples he could, Lin Yuan regained his composure.
He felt somewhat melancholy.
This time, while not all of his strength was revealed, he certainly revealed about 50-60%, making quite a splash.
"Sigh, it's all because of the sect leader's words that I was moved without realizing it."
It must be said that what the sects in Luoyue City said to him had a great impact on him.
If you want to do something, then just do it.
He was reincarnated because he saved people, and now that he has the ability, he can't bear to see anyone die in front of him.
Especially since these people are from the same school.
"Never mind, it shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"
As the sect leader said, he didn't actually trust anyone.
In his view, if he revealed his true strength within the sect, he might be targeted.
After all, his strength is clearly abnormal.
Therefore, he has always kept it hidden.
"The Sword Sect should be fine."
He spent two years observing the atmosphere of the Sword Sect.
"Besides, there are Lin Chao and Wang Qiudao ahead of us."
In the end, Lin Yuan decided to let things take their course.
Since you've already made your move, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore.
Now that we've revealed some of our strength, let's quickly improve it.
That's also a form of concealment.
The enemy thought your hidden strength was at the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing stage, which was indeed the case, but I broke through to the eighth level of the Fetal Breathing stage the very next day, and the enemy still didn't know the truth.
Before long, the group approached the exit of the Water Mansion and encountered Lin Chao and the sect disciples he had rescued.
"Brother!" Lin Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yuan.
He knew Lin Yuan had gone to rescue someone and was afraid something might happen.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly to Lin Chao, then looked towards the exit.
In fact, the area near the exit is characterized by strong winds and huge waves, making the environment extremely harsh.
The reason was simple: the disciples from the sect providing support were locked in combat with those from other sects.
It wasn't that the disciples sent by the sect were incompetent, but rather that from the time the sect received the news and sent reinforcements until now, no more than two hours had passed, and the disciples in the Water Mansion had already completed their self-rescue.
Lin Chao also looked towards the eye of the storm and said, "Brother, should we remind the senior brothers and sisters from the sect who are providing support?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. Our senior brothers and sisters may not believe what we say. They might even think we are from another sect. Let's go out first and have someone from our sect inform them."
"it is good."
The rescued disciples also said to Lin Yuan, "Yes, Senior Brother."
In fact, the main peak disciples who were rescued realized Lin Yuan's identity as soon as they saw Lin Chao and Lin Chao called him Brother Lin Yuan.
But he still called out "Senior Brother" subconsciously.
