AMSSO-Chapter 65: Unfathomable

When Yu Lingjia spoke up, the others also nodded one after another.

“Yes, they are so… unusual!”

“Their sect seems to only have a few people, yet every one of them is so calm and composed!”

“They can even make the Soul-Devouring Tiger listen so obediently! And they even gave it a name… Hu Niu!”

At the mention of “Hu Niu,” their faces reddened with embarrassment.

The spirit beasts they had encountered before had all been given imposing names.

But with a down-to-earth name like “Hu Niu”, they could hardly bring themselves to say it out loud.

“Sect Master Mu is amazing! Clearly she looks like she only has Golden Core Stage cultivation, yet she can make the Soul-Devouring Tiger obey, and even rescue the Black Abyss Falcon from its mouth!”

That’s a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger, stronger than Wen Yan herself!

But such a terrifying spirit beast, in front of Mu Shiyue, was just like a tame little cat!

Everyone knew that spirit beasts in a state of rage were uncontrollable. Even cultivators contracted to them would not dare approach and risk their lives.

Yet Mu Shiyue had just gone forward without hesitation!

And the final result left them all dumbfounded.

Ke Chongbo also nodded in agreement, “Yes, Sect Master Mu is very powerful!”

He had stayed in Wanxuan Sect for two days and had an understanding about them. “Her disciples are all hardworking too!”

Ke Chongbo himself was diligent in cultivation. Otherwise, relying only on his parents’ support, he would not have reached Golden Core so quickly.

But in the two days at Wanxuan Sect, he had fully witnessed how hardworking the others were!

“Yes, that Junior Sister Jiang is incredible too. She could even unlock the imprint on storage pouches!”

“And when those others came back, they didn’t say much, but after they knew our identity, they weren’t nervous at all!”

Changtian Sect is one of the top ten sects!

Although ranked lower, it’s still a renowned great sect.

Usually, once people heard they were from Changtian Sect, they would become especially respectful and cautious.

But Xin Jinrui and the others showed no change in expression at all.

“Of course!” Ke Chongbo snorted. “Look at my status, yet they even had me build walls!”

Speaking of building walls, his expression suddenly changed, “Oh no! I still haven’t finished building the wall!”

“Build walls?” Wen Yan frowned.

Indeed, when they had arrived earlier, they had seen him doing just that.

“Didn’t I get chased before? I ran into their courtyard with these people. Afterward, they said they needed to build a wall around the place so others wouldn’t rush in again.” Ke Chongbo grew anxious, itching to turn back immediately. “I haven’t finished yet!”

Wen Yan quickly pulled him back. “Don’t worry, you can go back later.”

Ke Chongbo frowned tightly, “What if they think I abandoned the job halfway?”

“It’s fine, just explain clearly.” Wen Yan said, “We need to deal with these people first. They’ll understand.”

Only then did Ke Chongbo relax, “Right, I’ll handle these people first, then go back to work!”

Wen Yan: “……”

This was the first time she had seen her youngest son so diligent.

Back at home, he never did such chores, he’s always served by others!

But thinking of the special nature of  Wanxuan Sect, she had no objections.

“You’ve stayed in Wanxuan Sect for so long, do you know where they came from?” Wen Yan asked seriously.

“They didn’t say.” Ke Chongbo shook his head. “And I didn’t dare to ask too much.”

Wen Yan frowned, but she also understood. If others didn’t want to say, that’s only natural.

“Has Sect Master Mu revealed her strength at all?”

“No.”

“No?” Wen Yan was stunned. “How could that be?”

But soon she realized, “Was it the Soul-Devouring Tiger that saved you?”

“No.”

“No?!”

Wen Yan’s eyes widened, “Sect Master Mu didn’t act, the Soul-Devouring Tiger also didn’t act, then could it be the disciples who saved you?”

“Yes, they saved me.” Ke Chongbo nodded.

He knew what his mother wanted to ask and explained, “Neither Sect Master Mu nor Senior Hu Niu made a move. It was Junior Brother Xin and Junior Sister Jiang and the others who worked together to resolve it!”

“What?!”

Now, not only Wen Yan but everyone else was equally shocked.

“Aren’t they all Foundation Establishment Stage?”

“How could a few Foundation Establishment disciples possibly deal with Golden Core cultivators?!”

They all refused to believe Ke Chongbo’s words.

It’s too absurd!

If a group of Foundation Establishment joined hands against a single Golden Core, that might be plausible. But here, there’d been four Golden Core cultivators!

Ke Chongbo wrinkled his nose and snorted. “Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples naturally couldn’t do it, but they aren’t just Foundation Establishment!”

“Huh?”

Ke Chongbo recounted in detail how Xin Jinrui and the others had fought against the four Golden Core cultivators together, leaving the others dumbfounded.

“They have an artifact refiner, an alchemist, a talisman master, and a formation master?!”

“Water-and-Electricity Talisman?! What kind of new talisman is that?”

“That silly-looking one is actually a formation master?!”

“How many people are in their sect?!”

Faced with their barrage of questions, Ke Chongbo explained, “From what I’ve observed, their sect has only one master and six disciples. But their Little Junior Sister is not currently in the sect.”

“So in total, only seven people?!”

Even the smallest peak of Changtian Sect had far more people than that!

Even Wen Yan’s expression changed.

It seemed she had underestimated Wanxuan Sect!

Not only was Sect Master Mu Shiyue powerful and low-key, even her disciples were all peerlessly gifted!

No wonder they dared to live right outside the Myriad Beast Forest. It turned out they were strong enough and had confidence to rely on!

Thinking of this, Wen Yan raised her hand to stop the discussion and asked solemnly, “So, did you guys learn anything today?”

Everyone turned to look at her in confusion.

“Lingjia, you tell me.” Wen Yan named her youngest disciple.

“Wanxuan Sect… is unfathomable!” Yu Lingjia stepped forward, face serious.

“Explain in detail.”

“Though Wanxuan Sect is small in size, its strength is extremely great! Most importantly, they are very low-key!”

“Go on.”

“The one I find hardest to see through is Sect Master Mu.” Yu Lingjia said with a grave expression. “On the surface, she looks younger than me. But all the strength she has displayed far exceeds her age!”

“What do you think her cultivation is?”

“I think…” She glanced at Wen Yan, hesitated, then continued, “She should be on par with Master.”

“On par with Master?! Spirit Severing Stage?!”

“How is that possible?!”

Everyone was shocked.

Wen Yan raised her hand to quiet them, “Lingjia isn’t wrong.”

Everyone’s eyes widened, Master also thought the same?!

“But I must correct one point. Sect Master Mu should be stronger than me!”

“What?!”

“She’s a Soul Transformation Stage ancestor?!”

Everyone gasped sharply.

Stronger than Wen Yan, wouldn’t that mean a Soul Transformation Stage ancestor?!

In any sect, a Soul Transformation ancestor would be revered as a patriarchal figure!

Even Ke Chongbo was shaken, “No way! Sect Master Mu is really that strong? But she… she just spends every day eating, drinking, and playing with Little Sesame!”

Wen Yan immediately gave him a stern look, hating his foolishness, “That’s exactly the point!”

“If she didn’t have such formidable strength, how could she dare to live like that?!”
