Chapter 176: The Storm in the Sect
In the sect, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have become legendary. Their names spread like the wind, quickly spreading to every corner of the sect and becoming the focus of many disciples' after-dinner conversations.
From their initial entry into the sect, to their heroic performance in the ruins exploration, to their outstanding ability in dealing with the mysterious power mission, they are like two bright stars, shining more and more brightly in the sky of the sect. Every victory and every breakthrough is like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and shaking the entire sect.
The young disciples were full of admiration and envy for them. Those young disciples who had just entered the sect had adoring eyes. They would sit together in between training and excitedly talk about the thrilling process of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breaking the protective formation in the ruins, or the wonderful battle scenes when fighting against evil forces. They imitated Yun Yao's witty response and Chu Mochen's powerful spells, fantasizing that one day they would be able to stand out in the sect like them.
Some disciples even regarded them as motivation for their own cultivation. Whenever they encountered difficulties in their cultivation and wanted to give up, they would rekindle their fighting spirit and grit their teeth to persevere when they thought of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen who never backed down in the face of more difficult challenges. They longed to be like Yun Yao, to break through themselves with their tenacious will in difficult situations, and they also hoped to have the strong strength of Chu Mochen and move forward courageously in battle.
As their reputation spread, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would always cause a small sensation wherever they went. In the sect's martial arts training ground, when they appeared, the disciples who were practicing would unconsciously stop what they were doing and closely follow their figures with their eyes full of admiration. In the Sutra Library, the disciples would take the initiative to make way for them and nod slightly, as if they were the most distinguished visitors in this treasure house of knowledge.
However, this high-profile status brings not only glory, but also countless challenges and opportunities.
The first challenge came from the jealous disciples. In the competition field of the sect, there would often be some self-righteous disciples who challenged them. Some of these challengers were out of desire for fame, thinking that as long as they defeated Yun Yao or Chu Mochen, they would become famous in one fell swoop; some were purely jealous, and couldn't bear to see them so glorious, and wanted to satisfy their twisted psychology by defeating them.
Once, a burly disciple openly challenged Chu Mochen in the competition arena. He held a long sword emitting cold light, and his eyes were full of provocation: "Chu Mochen, don't think that you are great just because you have achieved some results in several tasks. Today I want to let you know that you are just a name!" Chu Mochen just looked at him coldly without saying anything, but the disdain in his eyes stung the challenger like a substance. At the beginning of the battle, the burly disciple waved the long sword and rushed towards Chu Mochen with great momentum. The wind of the sword whistled as if to tear the air apart. But Chu Mochen's figure was like lightning, easily avoiding every attack, and there was always a sneer on the corner of his mouth. After a few moves, Chu Mochen saw the right time, gathered the spiritual power in his hand, and swung it violently. A powerful spiritual power light wave hit the disciple directly, instantly knocking him out and falling heavily on the edge of the competition arena. The disciple climbed up with a shabby face, his eyes full of unwillingness, but he could only leave in embarrassment under the gaze of everyone.
In addition to this direct challenge, there are also some secret competitions. Some disciples have started to think crookedly about the distribution of cultivation resources. The precious elixirs and spiritual materials that were originally distributed fairly would always be inexplicably short, and the disciples in charge of distribution would always reduce the share that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen deserved for various reasons. Once, Yun Yao went to collect the monthly distribution of the sect, but the disciple in charge of distribution said sarcastically: "Hey, Sister Yun Yao, you are so powerful now, you should not need so many elixirs, you should leave them to other brothers and sisters who need them more." Yun Yao frowned slightly, but she did not argue with the disciple, but just looked at him coldly, making the disciple lower his head a little guilty.
However, these challenges did not scare Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, but instead became their motivation to move forward. They responded to those provocateurs with their strength time and time again, allowing more people to see how powerful they were.
At the same time, opportunities also came along. More and more disciples began to ask them for advice on cultivation experience. In the sect's garden, you can often see a group of disciples sitting around Yun Yao, looking at her with eager eyes, waiting for her to share her cultivation experience. Yun Yao always patiently answered their questions, from the basic operation of spiritual power to the casting of complex spells, she imparted her experience without reservation.
"Senior Sister, I always feel unable to concentrate when practicing spiritual power. What should I do?" asked a young disciple with a distressed look on his face.
Yun Yao smiled and replied: "To cultivate spiritual power, you need a peaceful state of mind. You can try to find a quiet place, calm your mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and then slowly guide the spiritual power to flow through the meridians. Just like the flow of water, you can't be impatient, let it flow naturally."
Chu Mochen was the same. He personally demonstrated fighting techniques to the disciples who asked him for advice on fighting techniques in the martial arts training ground. His agile posture and sharp moves made the disciples fascinated. He would explain in detail the key points and timing of each move to help the disciples improve their fighting abilities.
“In a fight, you must always stay alert and observe your opponent’s movements. For example, when your opponent throws a punch, you can determine the direction of his attack from his eyes and shoulder movements, and then react quickly.” Chu Mochen said as he demonstrated with a disciple, which benefited the disciples a lot.
However, behind this seemingly harmonious situation, there are hidden undercurrents. There are some people with ill intentions, secretly watching them, jealousy and resentment growing in their hearts, like poisonous snakes in the dark, spitting out their tongues, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. These people secretly connected together, planning one conspiracy after another, trying to pull Yun Yao and Chu Mochen down from the clouds and make them infamous.
In a remote corner of the sect, several figures gathered stealthily. One of the gloomy disciples whispered, "We can't let them continue to prosper like this. We must find a way to make them disappear from the sect completely." The others nodded, with sinister glints in their eyes. Their conspiracy was like an invisible net, slowly spreading towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
