Chapter 90. The Incredible Efficiency Of The Pure Wave Sect’s Higher-Ups
Seeing Ren Qingquan's injuries, I started to rack my brain.
Although the situation has changed after Ren Qingquan upgraded [Scan]. But those cultivators still attacked him, it's just the means they used were mostly long distance attacks from several kilometers away with occasional kamikaze attacks. Their number has also steadily increased with time.
It seems the news has spread and more people are brought to this place. If this goes on, sooner or later I won't have enough power to save Ren Qingquan from their attacks.
At this time Ren Qingquan said, 'System, mark the location of the Pure Wave Sect.'
That's right! The Pure Wave Sect! They have a massive barrier that should be able to hold the people chasing after him.
I quickly calculated Ren Qingquan's current location by comparing several landmarks. Then I marked the approximate direction of the Pure Wave Sect.
[Done!]
Ren Qingquan moved following the map's direction while I helped him to kill those people chasing after him.
On his way to the Pure Wave Sect, another attack successfully passed by the space crack I summoned. The attack consisted of several hundred flying swords that had flown from ultra long distances. As for the exact distance, I don't know. I can't even see where the owner of those swords is.
The space crack I summoned has successfully intercepted most of it. But there are still five swords that successfully slip between those space cracks.
When he saw it, Ren Qingquan summoned a shield made of spirit qi using Armament Transformation. It successfully blocked two swords and parried the third sword before it shattered. He then barely evaded a sword while the last one struck him right in the stomach.
"Argg! It hurts!!" Ren Qingquan screamed as he pulled the sword from his stomach. 'system, help me heal my injuries'
[Please wait a moment, it might take a long time. System can't directly heal your current injury and needs to cleanse your body from the energy within that sword attack.]
If it is a normal injury, I can just use [Create] and fill in the injuries on his body. But, the attack from those swords contained some kind of energy that is wreaking havoc on his body. Even if I used [Create] to fix his body, it'll just be injured once more due to that energy.
So I decided to spread a part of my calculation power to use [Transfer] and send that energy out of Ren Qingquan's body so I could heal him.
Damn it, my calculation power isn't enough!
I quickly spent 100.000 points and upgraded my [Calculate]. The upgrade slightly relieved the burden on my nonexistent brain, and made it possible to heal Ren Qingquan while calculating the trajectories of those attacks and blocking them with space crack.
"Ren Qingquan. We're here to help you go back to the sect!" While Ren Qingquan is flying with difficulty due to his injury, I found a familiar aura coming towards him. It is Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave. The higher-ups from the Pure Wave Sect who've been tasked with following after him.
I failed to see their arrival before because I gave up paying attention to other people and focused on Ren Qingquan's [Anchor] to save on every calculation power available.
How do they even find Ren Qingquan's location? The last time I saw them, they were still checking other cities to look for clues.
***
A few hours ago.
When Ren Qingquan is taking a bath in the pond of souls and System focuses most of its attention to make sure there is no accident on him.
Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave, who has been tasked with following Ren Qingquan, have found suspicious news.
The news comes from one of Peak Master Xue's fan girls in a certain immortal city's Weapon Refining branch.
As the number one weapon refiner within this area, and also the most famous crafter of luxury dresses. Peak Master Xue has many fans that spread throughout the continent.
From that fan girl, Peak Master Xue found out about a massive fight happening in a nearby city. There are even traces of Tribulation Transcender level attack that can be seen.
As someone who has some understanding about children of luck. Peak Master Xue understands every time there are any abnormalities, they are most likely responsible for it.
Both of them went towards the city mentioned by that fan girl. When they saw the trace of a battle where the buildings within a certain area were affected by a Dao and got twisted beyond belief. They go and look for the city lord to ask for further information.
Without hesitation, Peak Master Xue flew into the city lord's residence and barged into his office.
"Who?! Gua-" When the fat city lord saw someone barge into his room, he initially wished to call the guards on his residence. But when Peak Master Xue released some of her aura at the Divine Transformation stage, the city lord immediately shut his mouth.
Soon after, Peak Master Tumultuous Wave arrived and saw all the fat on that city lord trembling under Peak Master Xue's stare. He quickly helped the city lord and asked. "Do you have any related information about the huge fight happening in your city a few days ago?"
The fat city lord quickly nodded his head. Under the help of the city lord, both of them found the information about an unknown Golden Core stage cultivator's entry a day before the Tribulation Transcender's attack.
Peak Master Xue looked at Tumultuous Wave and said. "My gut feeling says this unknown Golden Core stage cultivator is most likely Ren Qingquan. He probably has some kind of disguise technique to change his face."
Peak Master Tumultuous Wave nodded and looked at the city lord, "Do you have detailed information about this unknown Golden Core cultivator?"
"These two Immortals, I don't have any further information. But the captain of the city guard should know more about it." While saying that, the city lord keeps on trembling, yet his voice is still steady.
"Please follow me." The city lord spoke while wiping the sweat on his forehead. On the way, that city lord keeps on trembling due to fright. After all, everyone will be nervous when walking next to a living nuclear bomb that can explode anytime.
The two Peak Masters followed the city lord to meet the city guard's captain. From that captain, they are introduced to a guard tasked with guiding that unknown Golden Core cultivator.
With the city lord and captain standing next to them. Peak Master Xue and Tumultuous Wave questioned the guard and found some useful information.
When the guard mentioned how that Golden Core cultivator seems to be clueless about the cultivation world, Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave stared at each other and chatted using their mental power.
"Ren Qingquan is teleported from the lower world right? Furthermore I read his information and it said he never joined the class introducing basic common sense in the cultivation world." Peak Master Xue said while Peak Master Tumultuous Wave nodded his head.
Peak Master Xue then asked seemingly to herself. "Now then, it is already 99% certain that the unknown Golden Core cultivator is Ren Qingquan. So, if I am a child of luck, where would I go?"
Peak Master Tumultuous Wave suggested. "It is either an immortal city, a forbidden ground where it is possible to look for treasure, or perhaps other sects and families to slap their face. It's unknown why but the child of luck the sect has observed loves to slap other's faces."
When they're blindly guessing, both of them feel a massive fluctuation of spirit qi coming from a far away. Peak Master Xue said. "Yeah, let's go to that place. I dare bet one spirit crystal that Ren Qingquan can be found there."
Peak Master Tumultuous Wave rolled his eyes. "Junior sister, you need to stop that gambling hobby of yours. You are turning into a negative influence, I heard some younger generation in the sect has followed your step and often started a gambling event."
While bantering, both of them bid farewell to the city lord and quickly flew away.
Upon arriving at the location, the two of them could see a massive crack appear in the sky. It looks like the sky tore open and another world can be seen inside the torn sky.
Both of them first went to check the torn sky which is the source of that massive spirit qi fluctuation. Then they went after the trace of battle in the surroundings and followed it.
And so, within a few hours, Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave have found Ren Qingquan's specific location merely using a small gossip as a clue!
Currently the two of them hid far away and observed Ren Qingquan who was running for his life while the people chasing after him got swallowed by spatial crack.
Peak Master Xue quickly called the Sect Master through a talisman. "Senior brother, we've found Ren Qingquan. Currently he is being chased by hundreds of people. Should we go and save him? It seems he got his hand on some incredible treasure and those people are busy trying to steal it from him."
Sect Master replied. "Are there any traces of Void Unity stage expert and above?"
Peak Master Xue said. "All of them are clones of people at Divine Transformation and below. There are almost a hundred Nascent Soul, dozens of Soul Formation, and one Divine Transformation cultivator. All of them probably feel the massive fluctuation in spirit qi and thought there is a treasure being born. Previously, both of us also felt that fluctuation and followed it."
"I understand." Sect Master fell silent for a moment before his voice transmitted from that talisman once again. "From the composition of the attacker, it seems to be the work of fate as both of you are just enough to repel them. The two of you can help that kid and send him to the sect. Remember, your main mission is to bring that Ren Qingquan back to the sect! Also, when it is necessary, you can explode the clone you used. I'll give you some medicinal pill to nourish the soul and heal the injury caused by the destruction of your clone!"
"Alright then." Peak Master Xue turned off the communication talisman and looked at Tumultuous Wave before smiling. "What a pity I only used a clone and most of my treasures are left at home. I hope those people can help me release some of the stress gained from playing cat and mouse with Ren Qingquan."
Peak Master Tumultuous Wave shook his head and said. "The Sect Master said our main objective is to bring him back."
"Alright then." Peak Master Xue shrugged and flew toward Ren Qingquan. She saw Ren Qingquan was busy killing the people attacking him by summoning space crack.
Having her clone destroyed by a friendly fire is the last thing she wants. So, Just in case they got attacked when they suddenly approached, Peak Master Xue decided to transmit her word to Ren Qingquan through using a magical technique. "Ren Qingquan. We're here to help you go back to the sect!"
