Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Several days later. Within Haoran Academy. Zhou Lin hurriedly returned to the academy from the Cave Heaven Ground. He was not there to see Chu Yuan, but went to a secluded area in the back mountain to meet with a group of people. The leader of this group was none other than the new leader of the Zhongzhou Cultivators Alliance. In general, this was the new Alliance Leader. The old Alliance Leader, Wu Yue, had clearly stepped down. The new Alliance Leader was a young man dressed in a black python robe, with delicate features that contained a hint of severity. This new Alliance Leader's name was Qin Zimo. Rumors had it that he was a descendant of a powerful ancient family. It was said that his family had fallen on hard times, and the new Alliance Leader wanted to restore their glory. For this purpose, he emerged from seclusion to become the Cultivators' Alliance Leader, attempting to use this position as a foundation to revive his family's fortunes. "Haoran Academy's Head, Zhou Lin, pays respects to Alliance Leader Qin!" Zhou Lin bowed with his hands clasped. "Hmm, where is the Haoran Brush?" Qin Zimo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not even lifting his eyelids as he asked indifferently. Clearly, he did not hold Zhou Lin in high regard. "Alliance Leader Qin, the Haoran Brush is within our academy. If you need it now, I can go and fetch it for you immediately," Zhou Lin said in quick succession. "Let's get it later. First, tell me if you are sincerely choosing to join our Cultivators Alliance? Remember, this answer must come from the heart. Don't think you can deceive me," Qin Zimo said flatly. "Sincere! Of course, it's sincere! Haoran Academy is absolutely sincere!" Zhou Lin replied hastily. "Then let me ask you, how many at the Tribulation Transcending Stage does Haoran Academy have? If it is only one, that might not be much help to our Cultivators Alliance. As of now, under our Cultivators Alliance's command, there are already seventy-nine Second-Rank Sects, thirty-three First-Rate Great Sects, and three Holy Lands. Countless other sects, too numerous to count, are under our command." "Among them, the number at the Tribulation Transcending Stage is also countless," Qin Zimo said with an even tone. "Two, two! Haoran Academy has two at the Tribulation Transcending Stage!" Zhou Lin responded eagerly. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he was intimidated by the vast forces mentioned by Qin Zimo. Seventy-nine Second-Rank Sects. Thirty-three First-Rate Great Sects. Three Holy Lands. Countless other sects. Countless at the Tribulation Transcending Stage. This person was truly determined to take on the Wayless Sect head-on. "Two? I heard that Haoran Academy has only you at the Tribulation Transcending Stage," Qin Zimo said, his eyebrows knitting together with a hint of surprise. "Yes, previously it was one, but now it has become two. Not long ago, I spent a great price to invite a Tribulation Transcendence to become a Guest Elder, so now we have two," Zhou Lin explained. "Two? That's acceptable. Go get the Haoran Brush," Qin Zimo nodded, not bothering to say more. Two at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage was not enough to warrant any further comment from him. "Yes," Zhou Lin responded. He then rose to leave. Shortly afterward, he fetched the Haoran Brush and personally delivered it into Qin Zimo's hands. Qin Zimo weighed the Haoran Brush in his hand and nodded slightly. "Remember, in one month, we will launch a full counterattack. At that time, all the states will respond. Since there is no Wayless Sect influence in your Jingzhou, you can simply respond directly; there's no need for elaborate plans," Qin Zimo instructed. "Yes, Alliance Leader Qin," Zhou Lin said, nodding. "Hmm." Qin Zimo stood up and leaped away, taking the group of Cultivators Alliance members with him. Once Qin Zimo and the others had left, Zhou Lin finally let out a sigh of relief. "This new Cultivators Alliance truly is formidable; their presence is so mighty. In such a short time, they've managed to gather such a vast force," he thought. "Tsk tsk, countless cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, just don't know how much chance of success they have." Zhou Lin clicked his tongue in wonder. He had his own ideas, too. After all, in Jingzhou, there were no forces from the Wayless Sect. When the time came, he would respond if there was a response. If the Wayless Sect were to blow up the Cultivators Alliance, then he could simply say that there had been no such thing. If the Cultivators Alliance won, then he could just say he had always been following the Cultivators Alliance's lead. Zhou Lin silently gave himself a thumbs up, truly clever. After confirming this matter, Zhou Lin planned to return to the Cave Heaven Ground to continue dealing with that Demonic Qi. The Demonic Qi had reached a critical period. However, this Demonic Qi had made Zhou Lin somewhat embarrassed. Zhou Lin originally planned to use the Haoran Pearl to enhance the Demonic Qi's talent a bit, then make use of various Buddhist scriptures and relics. To his surprise, as soon as he began the process, not only the relics and Buddhist scriptures but even the Haoran Pearl was devoured by the Demonic Qi. This left Zhou Lin with no strategy to employ. He needed to take out the Haoran Pearl again, which would inevitably injure the Demonic Qi's essence. If he injured the Demonic Qi's essence, it would undoubtedly offend that Daoist Chu. So in the end, Zhou Lin could only choose to give the Haoran Pearl to the Demonic Qi as well. He could only hope that Daoist Chu would remember his kindness and choose to stay at Haoran Academy forever. That way, he wouldn't be at such a loss. Zhou Lin took a deep breath. Then he continued flying toward the direction of the Cave Heaven Ground. He was going to continue helping that Demonic Qi to take form. ... Meanwhile, within the small courtyard, Chu Yuan was calmly reading a book, unaware of anything unusual. He only touched his neck, feeling as though something had bitten him, but he didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he continued to read the book in his hands. ... Time flew swiftly. A month passed in the blink of an eye. One month later, a significant event occurred on the Divinity Continent. The Cultivators Alliance openly declared war on the legendary Hidden Sect of the Wayless Sect located in East State. When this news spread, it immediately stirred up a storm. At the same time, branches of the Cultivators Alliance in every state, as well as many large and small Sects, all declared war on the Wayless Sect simultaneously. These Sects quickly formed a massive alliance, sweeping across much of the Divinity Continent. The whole Divinity Continent was shaken. Countless forces felt the Cultivators Alliance had gone mad. Even some forces tried to quell the upheaval, intending to 'suck up' to the Wayless Sect. But unexpectedly, the Zhongzhou Cultivators Alliance brought out an Immortal's Corpse. Once the Immortal's Corpse appeared, those forces didn't even have a chance to make a move before being suppressed by its might. That immediately made the countless forces on the Divinity Continent realize why the Cultivators Alliance dared to challenge the Wayless Sect. The Cultivators Alliance could not be suppressed, which naturally caught the attention of many disciples from the Wayless Sect. Their gazes turned toward Zhongzhou. A battle of the ages seemed about to unfold... And at this time, within Jingzhou, Haoran Academy did not declare war on the Wayless Sect immediately. Instead, under the grand pretext of 'taking an oath to battle,' they were supposedly sending out a firm unified call to action, developing a shared mindset to overthrow the Wayless Sect. When they would actually fight was unknown. Even Chu Yuan was dragged over, present at the occasion, taking part in the pledge. But when Chu Yuan heard the phrase "overthrow the Wayless Sect," he was stunned...
