"But Senior Haotian, you're a powerful Outsider expert! Considering how strong you are, you should be able to rule this world. But you didn't do that, did you?"
"I'm not like them. I'm an ascetic cultivator, and I don't care about power or anything like that. But if I don't care, there will always be powerful experts who like it. As long as one of them has evil intentions, then the world will fall. Not even the Hell-Emperor is strong enough to stop a powerful Outsider from coming."
"So that's how it is!" Bai Xiaochun said, a conflicted expression on his face. "One side pursues their own Dao in order to live forever. The other side wants to protect the people of the world from being enslaved by outside forces. It's really hard to say who's right and who's wrong!"
"That's why it has nothing to do with right or wrong. There's no way to reconcile them." Patting Bai Xiaochun on the shoulder, Cheng Hao's eyes glittered. "Go back and work hard on your cultivation. One of these days, you'll end up on the opposite side of one of them. Hopefully, the day will never come when you have to crush that jade stone."
.....
The bone lizard battleship looked like a white dragon, glowing with cold white light as it sped through the air. It didn't even take half a day for it to reach the border of the River-Defying Sect.
"Woowwwww!"
A horn blared, and the sounds of an attack could be heard from all corners of the River-Defying Sect. As the lizard battleship neared, countless cultivators flew up onto magical items. However, when they saw the enormous size of the bone lizard battleship, and the pressure it radiated, expressions of despair appeared on their faces.
From a distance, the River-Defying Sect cultivators could see how enormous the bone lizard was, and how intense the pressure it radiated caused the air to distort and distort. Although the pressure had been restrained, it was still terrifying enough to blot out the sun. Many of the mountain peaks shook violently, and if it weren't for the spell formations protecting them, the entire River-Defying Sect would already be in ruins.
"Heavens! What's going on with the River-Defying Sect? The three sects of the Middle Reaches are joining forces to deal with us, and now this colossus is here. Is this the day that the River-Defying Sect is going to be destroyed?"
"It's over, it's over. The three sects of the Middle Reaches are eyeing us covetously. Now, a powerful enemy has invaded our sect. We're really finished!"
"Hurry up! Follow the plan! Escort the elite disciples out of here! We can't let the legacy of the River-Defying Sect end here!"
Voices rang out one after another. Many cultivators made up their minds and sped up toward the lizard warship. They looked like they were going to self-destruct if they lived or died if their sect died.
"I say … It's just that I haven't returned to the sect for a few years. Do you have to be so enthusiastic?"
The sight of so many cultivators charging toward the lizard battleship startled Bai Xiaochun. Moments ago, he had been planning to flaunt his power, but now, he wasn't in the mood to do so. Waving his hand, he flew up from the deck of the ship and waved his hand dismissively at the onlookers.
"What the hell are you doing? What's with all this commotion!?"
Although he looked very serious, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face. Moments ago, the cultivators had been charging toward him, but now, they suddenly staggered back and surrounded him. Apparently, they couldn't believe that this person was the junior patriarch of the River-Defying Sect, the fearless, trouble-causing junior patriarch.
"They seem to be in some kind of trouble. Xiaochun, why don't you use the lizard battleship for now? Once you're done with it, you can return it to me!"
Cheng Hao scanned the area with divine sense, and immediately understood what was going on in the River-Defying Sect. Countless cultivators were gathering in three different locations around the River-Defying Sect. Apparently, they were here to test the River-Defying Sect's strength, but at the same time, to try to wipe them out in one fell swoop. The army of cultivators stretched for hundreds of kilometers in all directions.
Cheng Hao gave Bai Xiaochun control of the lizard battleship. Then, under the watchful eyes of the River-Defying Sect, he headed back to his secluded meditation session in his immortal's cave. He only had a dozen or so years left in this world, and he wanted to make some more progress with the Immortal Dao of the Yang God and the Immortal Dao of the Secular World.
After Cheng Hao left, the cultivators of the River-Defying Sect, who had been standing there motionless, began to surround him and ask him all sorts of questions.
"Xiaochun, was that black-robed man the legendary senior from the back of the mountain?"
"Junior Patriarch, was that senior the mysterious expert who destroyed the Sky River Court with a single palm strike?"
"Junior Patriarch, where have you been all these years? And how did you end up running into that senior?"
.....
One question after another was thrown at him, and quite a few of the female cultivators began to rub up against him. Apparently, they wanted to see if there was anything different about the body structure of the legendary junior patriarch of the River-Defying Sect compared to other male cultivators.
"Get out of the way! The patriarch is here!"
A group of cultivators with iron-blooded auras appeared, shoving the crowd aside. Next, a white-haired Patriarch Spirit Stream appeared, escorted by a group of Core Formation cultivators. Within the space of a few breaths of time, he was right in front of Bai Xiaochun.
"You're finally back, Xiaochun!"
"I'm back, Patriarch. You were so tense earlier. Did you run into some kind of danger?" Bai Xiaochun looked over at some of the disciples who had been preparing to self-detonate. "What's the matter?"
"The other three great sects of the Middle Reaches of the Heavenspan River joined forces to destroy the River-Defying Sect. If you had come back a few days later, the sect would have been destroyed!" Patriarch Spirit Stream looked over at Bai Xiaochun, and then at the lizard battleship behind him, and the expression on his face grew even stronger.
"Although the River-Defying Sect doesn't have a deva yet, we're still recognized as a Middle Reaches sect by the Starry Sky Dao Sect. How could those other three sects dare to act so brazenly?"
"It must have something to do with the fact that Senior Haotian destroyed the Sky River Court with a single palm strike. The Starry Sky Dao Sect is afraid of his strength, and considering that he hasn't shown his face for more than ten years, they're starting to get restless. They're probably trying to see if he's still in charge of the sect!"
