I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

Chapter 124: Every Family Has Its Own Hardships

“Defeated three times in a row by Liu Chuanyuan?”

Feng Xia could not help but choke when he heard this. He sized Lei Shao up with a strange look and said in surprise, “By right, you’ve stepped into the Dao Platform Realm twice and have been in this realm for a longer period of time. Even if you can’t beat Liu Chuanyuan, you shouldn’t be defeated by him…”

However, something that was almost impossible had really happened!

“My Dao heart is flawed and Sissy Liu knows how to target it.”

Lei Shao shook his head with a dark expression. “Although I’m not happy about it, it’s not like he used some despicable method. It’s an honorable Sword Dao that goes straight to the flaws in my Dao heart and disintegrates my strength.”

He took a deep breath and the corners of his eyes and mouth twitched. Then, in an extremely low voice, he spat out a few words with a pained expression, “… Damn it.”

“Damn it!”

Lei Shao repeated himself.

He lightly circulated his energy to heal his injuries and began to look a little better. He turned back to Feng Xia and said in a low voice, “Those demon beasts in Mount Canglan? I have heard the old Sect Master mention them before, but at that time, Master didn’t say much. He only told us a bit.”

Feng Xia looked at him without moving. “Which bit?”

Lei Shao paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and said slowly, “The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons should not be provoked!”

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons should not be provoked!

These few simple words seemed to contain some kind of magical power. They were powerful and resonating. The moment they were blurted out, it caused the surroundings to fall silent.

“The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons…”

Feng Xia carefully savored these few words, the divine light in his eyes fluctuating. He could not understand what the old Sect Master felt when he said these words, but he could more or less sense the hidden warning in them.

Should not be provoked!

Then what if they came to provoke me…

For a moment, Feng Xia felt at a loss.

“Although there’s no concrete news, there are indeed powerful demon beasts living in Mount Canglan. If these demon beasts are acting strangely…”

The First Elder frowned as he spoke. “There is indeed a possibility of serious damage.”

How many demon beasts resided in Mount Canglan?

Probably no one knew the exact answer to this question.

However, there was no doubt that if these demon beasts went berserk, they would definitely pose a huge threat. The situation that the Thousand Autumn Valley had painstakingly stabilized would definitely be torn into pieces in an instant.

“It looks like… this is the imperial court’s scheme…”

Feng Xia shook his head helplessly as his train of thought gradually became clear.

Before the various sects migrated to Mount Canglan, the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan used to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Perhaps they knew the secrets hidden in the mountains better than anyone else.

“The only problem is that the Thousand Autumn Valley has always been located in Mount Canglan. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for the people of the valley to know nothing about the matters in the mountains…”

Feng Xia rubbed his chin and thought of another situation. “The old Sect Master didn’t mention this matter much. He even intentionally or unintentionally played down these questions… Could it be that the old Sect Master is also afraid of something?”

Unfortunately, with the death of the old Sect Master, these secrets might have been buried forever.

“Anyway… let’s get a few people to come with me into the mountains to take a look.”

A moment later, Feng Xia made a decision. “At the very least, we have to figure out the reason for those demon beasts acting strangely. If we can resolve it, we should do it as soon as possible. If we encounter trouble that we can’t resolve…”

He thought earnestly for a few seconds, then said seriously, “Then let’s cultivate and become stronger as soon as possible, and get rid of the fellow who’s causing trouble.”

“Leave it to me!” Lei Shao patted his chest.

Half a day later.

A four-person team was quickly formed, consisting of Feng Xia, Zhu Youniang, Lei Shao and Chu Zhuyun.

Given Zhu Youniang’s current strength, Feng Xia originally did not plan to bring the girl along. However, Zhu Youniang said later that her true form was also a demon beast and she might be able to help at a critical moment, so Feng Xia finally agreed.

As for the First Elder and Third Elder, they were the only two elders in the Thousand Autumn Valley who were free at the moment.

The remaining four elders were either still cultivating in seclusion or following Feng Xia’s instructions to do some preliminary modifications to the mysterious ancient street. Following the Heavenly Pattern Academy and Heavenly Robe Pavilion, a third ancient building that had retained some of its functions had been discovered on the ancient street!

Its name was Thousand Autumn.

Feng Xia was actually quite dumbfounded when he heard this name.

Then again, he was not the one who came up with this name. Instead, it was already carved on the plaque at the entrance of the building!

“This isn’t my fault for being incompetent with names…”

Feng Xia shook his head speechlessly. After confirming that the Thousand Autumn Valley was safe for the time being, he waved his hand and prepared to fly off with the two elders…

The First Elder and Third Elder flew into the sky. Zhu Youniang’s figure gradually turned ethereal as if she had fused with the ground under her feet. Feng Xia stood there with a dazed expression, suddenly realizing an awkward problem.

It seemed like…

He did not know how to fly…

Nor did he know how to burrow underground.

“Primal Core Realm cultivators can fly directly, but Dao Platform Realm cultivators have to rely on the Ascension Art to fly. However, when I beat people up previously, there has never been any dropped balls with the Ascension Art…”

“The Earth Escape Technique is needed to burrow underground, but the Five Elements Escape Technique of the Five Elements Sect has been left incomplete since the Five Elements Sect Master was killed…”

The reason for the latter situation was very simple. He had not beaten up enough people from the Five Elements Sect, so he had yet to gather all the fragments.

As for the former situation, Feng Xia guessed that the grade of the Ascension Art was not high, and given that only a limited number of light balls dropped every time, that was why he had never encountered this skill.

When he spent all his time within the sect, he did not have much feelings about this and had never thought of this problem. Now that he needed to head out from the sect, the problem immediately became apparent.

“It’s not easy to say this out loud. Maybe I can find a reason on the spot and beat the two of them up? No, even if I really beat them up, the Ascension Art might not be dropped…”

He was even more reluctant to make a move on Zhu Youniang.

“It’s like this. I just remember I need to do something so the few of you can head to North Gazing Cliff first.”

After pondering for a moment, Feng Xia suddenly coughed and crossed his arms. He pretended to be profound and said, “Once I’m done here. I’ll rush over to meet you immediately.”

“Since the Sect Master has said so, we’ll take our leave first.”

The two elders did not suspect anything. They quickly leaped into the air like two human-shaped birds and headed straight for the dense forest in the distance.

On the ground behind them, Feng Xia immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, these two don’t suspect anything… Youniang, why are you still here?”

“You didn’t tell me to leave.”

The young girl placed her hands behind her back and swayed her two feet as she leaned forward. She curiously sniffed Feng Xia’s body a few times before suddenly whispering.

“I think I smell lies.”
