Xiao Jinting got out of bed in the morning, and a few people from Platanus Sect served him breakfast.

Xiao Jinting glanced at the maid next to him and asked, “Have the master and hermit got up?”

The maid looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “The two ancestors have gone to study the terrain to ward off the attack of Sacred Sect.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Oh, I see.” He thought to himself, “These two fellows work hard, but it’s worthwhile for the sake of Heavenly Thunder Wood.”

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Don’t you think of a way?”

Xiao Jinting sighed and said, “I’m thinking about it, but I can’t think of anything in short time.”

Xu Muan smiled and said, “In that case, let’s eat first.”

“I think so too,” Xiao Jinting said.

When Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan went out, Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei had come back from patrolling around. The nun snorted softly at sight of Xiao Jinting as if accusing him of laziness.

Xiao Jinting felt she was difficult to deal with. If he appeared to be diligent, she would think that he was overestimating himself, but if he acted indifferently, she seemed to think that he was not ambitious enough.

“Good morning, Mr. Xiao.” Master Heavenly Lantern went up to Xiao Jinting.

Xiao Jinting said awkwardly, “I heard you went out to patrol early in the morning. I feel ashamed.”

Master Heavenly Lantern smiled and said, “It’s good that you stay behind and guard the sect when we go out. If the three of us go out together, the sect will be in danger.”

Xiao Jinting replied, “Thank you for your understanding…”

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “I heard that the Black Tortoise Spiritual Array of Platanus Sect is very powerful. The sect managed to survive the attack last time because of the array.”

Xiao Jinting blinked and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Jinting took Xu Muan out for a stroll. With time cultivation room around, Xiao Jinting had more time than other cultivators, and he was interested in arrays, talismans and alchemy.

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “I heard that Immortal Qingming betrayed Platanus Sect and joined Sacred Sect.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I heard that too. That guy is the senior brother of Immortal Platanus. If it weren’t for him, the news of Heavenly Thunder Wood wouldn’t have spread so quickly.”

“A chance may decide the path of cultivation,” Xu Muan muttered.



Xiao Jinting had stayed in Platanus Sect for more than three months, but Sacred Sect seemed to have disappeared, and no one had come to attack.

“Do they hide away because they are frightened?” Xu Muan asked.

“It’s possible, but it is more likely that they are waiting for a chance.”

The monk and the nun started to grow impatient over the days. They said directly that Sacred Sect would plan to attack Platanus Sect because of Heavenly Thunder Wood. If the wood was not in the sect, the sect would be safe.

Immortal Platanus was not a fool and would not give up the treasure, so they reached a deadlock.

“Mr. Xiao, calamity. Someone is attacking.” Xiao Jinting couldn’t help frowning.

Xu Muan was taken aback and said, “Why are they suddenly attacking us?”

Xiao Jinting’s face darkened and he said, “They picked the right time.” Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei went out to patrol, and the sect was weak. The enemies timed their attack well.

“Don’t worry. It’s difficult for them to break the array,” Xiao Jinting said.

“They’re about to break it,” the disciple said.

Xiao Jinting widened his eyes and said, “Impossible.”

“Qingming is leading the way. He is very familiar with the array, and there are his men in the sect,” the little disciple said.

Xiao Jinting was speechless. What a mess.

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”

Xiao Jinting rushed to the array, which was on the verge of breaking under the attack of several black-robed cultivators.

Xiao Jinting saw there were more than twenty coffins around the array, and a steady stream of zombies was summoned out from the coffins.

“Qingming, I didn’t expect you to be so crazy.”

A black-robed cultivator outside the array looked at Immortal Platanus with hatred. “Platanus, stop pretending. My aptitude and cultivation were not inferior to you, but the old man was related to you, so he chose you to his own interest.”

Xu Muan shook his head. It was fate. Aptitude and personality were important, but fate played the most important part. After all, Qingming was not as lucky as Platanus.

“Mr. Xiao, Qingming has gone crazy. I hope you could help me,” said Platanus.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Of course.” Although he pitied Qingming, he would not change his position just because of his sympathy.
