Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 472: A Traitor Among Us? (QC.Z)



...

Moon Shadow Sect.

"I must see the Sect Master! It's urgent!"

A girl stood anxiously before the Sect Master's hall.

Two Moon Shadow Sect disciples blocked her path.

"The Sect Master is in closed-door cultivation. He said not to disturb him unless absolutely necessary."

"You're not here to tell his fortune again, are you? The Sect Master doesn't need that."

The two disciples stood firm, refusing to budge.

"Our Moon Shadow Sect?" One disciple pointed at himself.

"Imminent disaster?" The other disciple laughed.

Their founding ancestor was a Great Ascension Stage cultivator.

Moreover, the sect had numerous Unity and Void Refinement experts.

With both the Burning Purity Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land gone, one could say Moon Shadow Sect stood unrivaled in the Cangyun Realm. What disaster could possibly befall them?

"Don't dismiss me! The threat isn't from other sects, but from the demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

The two disciples exchanged doubtful glances, even more skeptical now.

Everyone knew why the demonic beasts lived in the treacherous Hundred Thousand Mountains.

They had been driven there by the united forces of Cangyun Realm cultivators, who had even forced them to sign treaties swearing not to set foot in Cangyun Realm for ten thousand years. Violating this would mean not just being pushed deeper into the mountains, but complete annihilation.

Now these deep-mountain demonic beasts were suddenly emerging?

For what reason?

There had been no signs of activity before.

What could they possibly gain by coming out to fight human cultivators?

"Little girl, maybe you should try divining again?"

"Right, your reading might not be entirely accurate. We'll give you spirit stones to try again."

Rice Bucket rolled her eyes and snapped, "I don't make mistakes! If you won't let me in, then go report this yourselves!"

The two disciples looked troubled.

They dared not anger the Sect Master either.

Especially since the Sect Master's own master was their founding ancestor - who would dare cross him?

If they interrupted the Sect Master's cultivation and hindered his breakthrough, their punishment would be severe.

"Enough, both of you, step aside."

Yue Qianchi emerged from the Sect Master's hall, covering a yawn.

"What's all this noise in the middle of the night?"

"Sect Master Li already told me - let her in."

The two disciples stared at Yue Qianchi in shock.

They'd been guarding this entrance for hours - when had Yue Qianci entered?

"Senior sister, when... when did you go into the Sect Master's hall?"

"I've been inside the Sect Master's hall all evening."

Yue Qianchi walked up to the fortune-telling girl and began pulling her toward the hall.

"Sect Master Li wants to hear about this supposed disaster facing Moon Shadow Sect. You two go about your business - no need to guard here anymore."

Before they could respond, she'd already dragged Rice Bucket inside.

...

"Li Qingran, I've brought her to you."

Yue Qianchi presented Rice Bucket before Li Qingran.

Rice Bucket studied the elegant, breathtakingly beautiful young woman before her with curiosity.

In just two days, this female sect master had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, though her energy still seemed unstable.

No wonder she needed disciples guarding her - she must still be stabilizing her new realm.

"I heard you've divined a crisis for Moon Shadow Sect? Explain in detail!" Though new to her position, through emulating Chen Huaian and daily practice before bronze mirrors, Li Qingran already carried the dignified bearing of a sect master.

"Reporting to the Sect Master." Rice Bucket performed a proper bow. "Today while idly divining for your esteemed sect, I unexpectedly foresaw demonic beasts emerging from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to invade Cangyun Realm on a massive scale. Moon Shadow Sect is among their primary targets."

"I see." Li Qingran straightened her posture, expression turning grave.

Others might doubt the fortune-telling girl's words, but through verification by both herself and her master, they knew this girl possessed remarkable skill in reading the Heavenly Mysteries.

Therefore, the demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains must indeed be emerging.

"Did your divination show whether these beasts have already attacked our sect?" Li Qingran pressed.

"No." Rice Bucket shook her head. "The Heavenly Mysteries cannot be fully perceived - the Dao's destiny interferes with my insight. You could say all things exist in a state of variables. But with proper preparation, Moon Shadow Sect has a chance to survive this crisis."

After a moment's thought, Li Qingran turned to Yue Qianchi.

"Senior sister Yue, this matter is critical. Summon all elders to the hall for council!"

"Understood." Recognizing the urgency, Yue Qianchi vanished from the hall in an instant.

Soon, Zhang Mengchu, Li Ziping, Su Qinian and other core members of Moon Shadow Sect had assembled.

Immediately, the entire hall became saturated with the overwhelming auras of Unity Stage experts and above.

Ordinary disciples would be trembling uncontrollably under such terrifying pressure.

But Li Qingran remained completely unaffected.

Having grown accustomed to her master's aura, these Void Refinement and Unity Stage experts were nothing.

"Esteemed elders, you must already be aware of the prophecy regarding the demonic beast invasion.

Moon Shadow Sect falls within their attack range. I've summoned you all to discuss countermeasures."

Zhang Mengchu and Li Ziping exchanged glances before the former stepped forward with cupped hands:

"Sect Master, the demonic beasts have been confined to the Hundred Thousand Mountains for years. While most believe them weak and easily defeated, their years of recuperation must have restored significant strength.

Their daring to emerge now suggests careful preparation - they likely intend to bring chaos back to Cangyun Realm. We must remain extremely vigilant!"

Hearing this, the fortune-telling girl relaxed slightly.

At least these Void Refinement veterans showed more sense than ordinary disciples.

While juniors still basked in past human glories, these elders understood the importance of vigilance during peace.

Li Ziping took over: "Sect Master, Old Zhang's spouting nonsense. Let me offer practical advice - with the founding ancestor's minor world as our refuge, we can retreat there if necessary.

But retreat contradicts Moon Shadow Sect's principles. Since this invasion threatens all sects in Cangyun Realm, and we've absorbed the power of three holy lands, we should take leadership. Remember - when the nest overturns, no egg remains unbroken!"

Li Qingran had initially planned only to defend their own territory.

But Li Ziping's words gave her new perspective.

Cangyun Realm contained more than just Moon Shadow Sect.

Normally absorbing other sects would involve endless disputes, but now...

She surveyed the assembly before declaring: "External threats demand unity among human cultivators! Only by joining forces can we eliminate the demonic beast menace! We must immediately notify other sects and unite them against this invasion!"

At these words,

the veteran experts' gazes toward Li Qingran changed.

Truly worthy of being the founding ancestor's disciple,

she could even make annexation sound righteous.

"Oh, one more thing."

Just then, the fortune-telling girl suddenly interjected.

As all eyes turned to her, she smiled awkwardly and whispered:

"Earlier... I also divined that... there's a traitor among us!"
