Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

The others had considered it, but felt it wasn't appropriate to discuss the issue now because it was too sensitive; one wrong move and the understanding they had worked so hard to reach that evening could be ruined.

Everyone inside the hall cherished this opportunity.

After a long pause, Qingwei laughed loudly, "Since Junior Brother Sword Saint can put aside past grievances and propose the merger of Shu Mountain, this old Daoist should naturally respond as well. Junior Brother Sword Saint will serve as the leader of the merged sect!"

Several elders from Canggu Jingming shouted in unison, "Sect Leader, please reconsider!"

Qingwei shook his head and said, "My mind is made up, junior brothers, there is no need to say more."

Cang Gu sighed deeply, turned his back, and said no more.

Sword Saint stared at Qingwei and said, "Senior Brother, there's no need for that."

Qing smiled and said, "It's not that I'm deliberately giving up the position of sect leader to my junior brother. In fact, I'm getting old, and if I don't work harder, I'm afraid I'll never be able to ascend to immortality in this life. It's time for me to put down my burden and rest properly."

The Sword Saint was speechless.

When he was still an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, Qingwei was already the head of the Qi Sect. The two addressed each other as fellow disciples. However, because of the Jiang Ming Rebellion, the Sword Saint had already taken the position of head of the sect, so they became equals.

Qingwei was indeed at an age where he could pass away at any moment.

Qingwei continued to persuade him, "Junior Brother's reputation as a Sword Saint is far greater than that of an old man. Under your protection, Shushan will be able to go further in the future."

Having said all that, everyone thought the Sword Saint would agree, but he still shook his head.

Even the Sword Immortal couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, and said directly, "Senior Brother, what's going on here? You're usually so straightforward, why are you being so indecisive today?"

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, the Sword Saint smiled and explained, "With the merger of the two sects, Mount Shu will be a completely new sect. Since it is a new sect, it should have a new atmosphere. None of us old guys are suitable to be the leaders of the new sect."

The Drunken Sword Immortal wore a strange expression and joked, "If you won't take the role, and he won't take it either, then am I supposed to take it? Or should we let Xu Changqing or that kid Chu Yang..."

At this point, the Sword Immortal's voice abruptly stopped, and he turned his head sharply, looking at the Sword Saint in shock.

The Sword Saint laughed heartily, "What? That kid isn't fit to be the head of the Shu Mountain Sect?"

For a moment, gasps of astonishment filled the Ancestral Hall!

Qingwei frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"Of course! Of course!" The Drunken Sword Immortal quickly took out a new gourd of wine and put it to his mouth, gulping down several mouthfuls before letting out a long sigh.

When my Sword Saint senior brother gets drunk, he's even more outrageous than me!

Cang Gu hesitated, "Wouldn't that be too risky? Ah Yang's past life might have been..."

The Sword Saint said calmly, "I can't control who he was in his past life, but he is a disciple of Mount Shu in this life. As long as he is not expelled from the sect, he will be a disciple of Mount Shu for life!"

Chapter 156. Heading to the Nanzhao Kingdom! The Vanished Moon Worshipper!

156.

Inside the Ancestral Hall, the elders looked at each other, unsure whether to agree or disagree.

Sword Saint looked at Qingwei and said, "You also said that that kid will become an immortal sooner or later. If he doesn't become the sect leader, are you going to let those of us who already have a slim chance waste our time in the position of sect leader?"

Qingwei's expression shifted slightly, and he finally nodded slowly.

Sword Saint laughed and said, "Let the young people of Shu Mountain decide what the future holds. We should focus on living a few more years."

Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

I've known the Sword Saint for decades, and this is the first time I've ever seen him joke around.

After chatting for a while, everyone decided to hold a ceremony to unite the sects and invite righteous sects from all over the world to participate.

In high spirits, the Sword Immortal suddenly spoke up: "We should deal with the affairs of the Nanzhao Kingdom first, right? Otherwise, those juniors probably won't be in the mood for any sect-union ceremony, especially since Junior Nephew Chu Yang has such a strong sense of justice and hatred for evil; he'll probably find it hard to swallow."

Qingwei nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Mo is right. The descendants of Nuwa have also helped Shushan a lot. We cannot sit idly by."

Sword Saint's gaze sharpened, and he sneered, "Leave this matter to me. Bai Yue dared to sneak attack Shu Mountain with Evil Sword Immortal. If you get involved in this mess, don't blame me for being impolite."

The Sword Immortal chuckled. The Sword Saint before him was the one he knew best. Despite his gentle and refined demeanor over the years, and his constant debates with others, he was actually quite violent at heart.

Bai Yue is no match for the Sword Saint senior brother. The real problem is that if the other party is pushed to the limit, he might use some evil magic to awaken the suppressed water demon beast. That would be truly troublesome.

Thinking of this, the Sword Saint's voice suddenly reached the Sword Immortal's ears.

"Junior Brother Mo, come down the mountain with me!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Caught off guard, the Sword Immortal choked on his wine and coughed repeatedly. He wiped his mouth and chuckled dryly, "Senior Brother, I'll pass. Traveling such a long distance is exhausting. Li Xiaoyao's cultivation is progressing rapidly; having him by your side is enough!"

The Sword Saint squinted and said unhappily, "Taking you to the Nanzhao Kingdom isn't about cleaning up my mess, it's about cleaning up your own mess!"

The Sword Immortal felt a chill run down his spine and dared not speak, looking like a student caught red-handed by his parents the next day after going out all night to play games.

The others all turned their gazes to the Sword Immortal, their expressions questioning him. For the Sword Saint to be so angry, it must be no small matter.

The Drunken Sword Immortal simply closed his eyes, lay down on the ground, and pretended to have drunk too much.

The next day.

The matter of the merger between the two factions was kept secret for the time being. Qingwei and the others summoned Chu Yang and the others to the main hall of the sect and told them that the Sword Saint would come out of the mountains to eliminate the Moon Worship Cult.

Li Xiaoyao jumped up excitedly, and the others also looked delighted.

Xu Changqing, Zixuan, Jingtian, and Tang Xuejian were not present. They went to the Thunderbolt Hall in Deyang last night to seek revenge on Old Master Tang from Luo Rulie.

"We shouldn't delay, let's go down the mountain and tell Elder Shi and the others the good news." Chu Yang patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder to remind him.

"That's right, Brother Chu!" Li Xiaoyao grinned from ear to ear, bowed in the direction of Qingwei and the others, and then hurried down the mountain without stopping.

"Sect Leader, Master, I will first take the others to the Nanzhao Kingdom to eliminate the influence of the Moon Worship Cult. It will not be too late for Uncle Sword Saint to make a move after the Moon Worship Cult appears."

The Sword Saint's sword control technique has reached a level of divine skill. In addition, both Shu Mountain and Nanzhao Kingdom are located in the southwest, so flying on a sword will not take long at all.

The Sword Saint said, "It's alright, I have my own plans, but my junior brother wants to travel with you."

The Sword Immortal, with a bitter face, swung his arm as he walked out of the main hall.

After a while.

Chu Yang and Lin Yueru arrived at Zuixianju and saw a group of people gathered in the lobby.

Tang Yu, Anu, Elder Shi, Zhao Ling'er, Liu Jinyuan.

They had been waiting impatiently, packing their bags and ready to set off for the Nanzhao Kingdom at any time.

Lin Yueru tried to persuade Liu Jinyuan to stay in Yuzhou, but he firmly refused. He hadn't been able to help collect the Five Elemental Pearls, but he had to go to deal with the Moon Worship Cult this time.

Elder Shi unexpectedly spoke up for Liu Jinyuan, saying that his wisdom was an indispensable force in dealing with the Moon Worship Cult.

During their time in Yuzhou City, the two learned and talented men often gathered together to chat, and they became close friends despite their age difference.

Zhao Ling'er, Tang Yu, and Anu were also attracted by Liu Jinyuan's talent and regarded him as a close friend, so they all spoke up for him.

Unable to resist the persuasion of so many people, Lin Yueru had no choice but to agree to go to the Nanzhao Kingdom with Liu Jinyuan.

With the Shu Mountain Sect as their foundation and the Drunken Sword Immortal accompanying them, the group's mood upon setting off again was completely different from the beginning, and they were much more relaxed.

Zhao Ling'er's smiles visibly increased.

Even Shi Gonghu no longer had a stern face.

Of the group, the one in the worst mood was actually the Drunken Sword Immortal. Anu liked to stick to him, but he couldn't help but shed tears whenever he saw Anu.

Halfway there, the Sword Immortal couldn't resist any longer and decided to fly ahead on his sword to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Ignoring Anu's attempts to persuade him to stay, he took to the air on his sword and headed straight for the southwest.

In any case, we need to find Ming Yuanqing to remove the spell first.

After the Sword Immortal left, Anu felt lost and dejected. Although they did not acknowledge each other, she liked this Sword Immortal uncle very much, even more than Uncle Baiyue, who had always been kind to her.

It was precisely because of the Sword Immortal's persuasion that Anu and Baiyue completely lost contact.

The group continued their journey and arrived in the Nanzhao Kingdom half a month later.

Anu led everyone to the Bai Miao tribe's settlement, a place Chu Yang had visited before and was familiar with.

When Chu Yang arrived, he found that Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan had been waiting for a long time. After dealing with Luo Rulie, they returned to Shu Mountain and then flew from Shu Mountain to Nanzhao Kingdom on their swords.

The speed of flying on a sword is much faster than walking, so they arrived here many days earlier than Chu Yang and the others.

The Sword Immortal was also there, exchanging glances with Ming Yuanqing in the crowd, and his inexplicable tear-jerking habit naturally disappeared.

Ming Yuanqing welcomed everyone into the room and began to explain the current situation of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Because of the pernicious influence of the Moon Worship Cult over the years, the entire population of the Nanzhao Kingdom has become a loyal follower of the Moon Worship Cult, and it cannot be reversed simply by sending a few people to expose the true face of the Moon Worship Cult.

This superstitious force even influenced the army of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Apart from the confidants of the Nanman general and Elder Shi, everyone else stood on the opposite side.

The Witch King was completely sidelined and became a true puppet, a situation even more serious than before Shi Gonghu left.

In other words, for them to target the Moon Worship Cult is essentially to take on the entire Nanzhao Kingdom.

The military and the Moon Worshippers are relatively easy to deal with; they can simply engage in a real battle. The real challenge lies in dealing with ordinary civilians.

We can't just kill them all at once, can we?

If the people are taken into consideration, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand against the Moon Worship Cult. If one hesitates and looks back on the battlefield, not only Zhao Ling'er, but the entire Bai Miao tribe will become passive.

"If you ask me, the best way now is to find Baiyue and eradicate this scourge. That way, we won't have to be at odds with the people of the entire Nanzhao Kingdom."
