My Master Disconnected Yet Again

The competition of spells on this side was already nearing the end, other than Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming, Shu Yi and the personal disciples from two other mountains made it into the top five.

Sect Master Yu Luan took a look at the remaining five and might have recognized Lonemoon. He could not help but turned back and praised. “Sword cultivators indeed. There are only two disciples from Nameless Mountain but both made it into the top five. Especially this Zuo Shuming, in just a few years’ time, he is already filled with Sword Qi. I say there is no suspense as to who the champion would be. Uncle-Master Yi Qing has taught them well!”

Yi Qing swept a glance at the two people fighting in the arena, especially a certain person who was trembling so hard that he was about to drop his sword. The corner of his mouth twitched, he wasn’t able to reply in time when Tian Yi’s expression darkened beside him as he directly refuted.

“Isn’t Sect Master saying that too early?” He sneered coldly and said rather indignantly, “Let’s not mention the rest, I see that the Brother Lonemoon’s sword techniques are swift and fierce, his Spirit Qi powerful, in the previous matches, he defeated his opponents in less than ten strikes, one look shows that he is someone with a deep understanding of sword dharma. I think he would be the champion this time.”

Yu Luan was stumped from his rebuttal, what Brother Lonemoon?

Since when did Uncle-Master Tian Yi acknowledge a brother?

Never mind if Uncle-Master Yi Qing had a mortal master and they had a Grandmaster out of the blue, but when did his disciple and Uncle-Master Tian Yi address each other as brothers? Say, was taking advantage of seniority a tradition of Nameless Mountain?

“My Brother Lonemoon is empathetic and loyal, though he is a sword cultivator, he works with pills, talismans and array formations too and is especially proficient in his understanding of array formations.” Tian Yi praised without even blinking. “Please do not make wild guesses if you’re unclear Sect Master! I think the Zuo fellow, isn’t even a match for him!” No matter what, rooting for his brother!

“Um…” Yu Luan burst into a cold sweat, he was initially planning on bootlicking Yi Qing and getting him to recruit more disciple, he did not expect Uncle-Master Tian Yi to interfere too, yet he could not rebut him and could only smile awkwardly and bite the bullet, replying, “Uncle-Master Tian Yi makes sense too.”

“Hmph! That’s for sure!” Tian Yi was satisfied then and continued supporting Lonemoon with slight arrogance. “This brother of mine, regardless of character, perception, cultivation, everything about him is rare. For the champion of this competition, except for him, no one…”

“I admit defeat!” Before he could finish, he heard Lonemoon who had just went on stage in the arena holler.

Tian Yi: “…”

Yu Luan: “…”

The master and disciple duo: “…”

Two Bucks who thought he was getting beaten up: “…”

Huh?

What was going on?

Σ(°△°|||)

Tian Yi felt a burn on his face!

From a side, the sect master Yu Luan quietly gave him a complicated look. What happened to being the champion?

The little companion Tian Yi paled, his entire being in a daze from being stunned. This doesn’t make sense, his Brother Lonemoon definitely isn’t someone who would give up without a fight! There must be a special reason! That’s right, it’s definitely so!

“Unless he’d incurred some injury while he was preparing for the competition?” The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like a possibility, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He stood up abruptly. “I must go take a look!” He has plenty of pills, anyway. With that said, he ignored Yu Luan and disappeared off the viewing platform in a flash.

The master and disciple duo: “…”

Um… should they tell him that Father Niu was just tired of beating up Two Bucks Zuo, so he could not be bothered to?

Below, it’d been announced that Zuo Shuming had won.

Lonemoon did not stop, turning and walked off the stage, his gaze sweeping past Shu Yi as he did. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to beat up Two Bucks Zuo but because this was already the quarter finals. If he won Zuo Shuming, the one facing Shu Yi in the end, could be him.

He was a manager and was once the plane assistant of this plane, there would always be some authority in his body. Shu Yi was an invader, with a system in her, if they really went against each other, he might be in the danger of exposing himself, so he might as well admit defeat here.

Besides, Two Bucks Zuo and this person were born enemies, though he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his cultivation worlds apart from hers and he might not win, but in the aspect of pissing off Shu Yi, he was amazingly professional.

At the same time, he also wanted to see the extent that Shu Yi’s cultivation had improved till with her seclusion and help from the system.

Lonemoon’s guess was right, Zuo Shuming and Shu Yi won the two other disciples in their respective matches, both of them entered the finals. Shu Yi seemed to be very pleased with such an outcome, she looked at Zuo Shuming with a glint of determination in her eyes, vaguely radiating killing intent, as if she wished she could charge over right away and beat him up.

“Senior… Uncle-Master Shu.” Yet Zuo Shuming seemed completely unaware, he even politely bowed with cupped fists and smiled naively. “Long time no see, I didn’t I would have the chance to battle against Uncle-Master Shu. By the way, I wonder…”

“Shut up!” Shu Yi cut him off directly, as if she’d gained some experienced from being pissed off. Without waiting for him to finish, she summoned her artifact and charged towards him without another word. Making use of the advantage that she had with her cultivation a level higher, she even released the suppression of the Golden Core stage, giving her all to suppress his movements.

Zuo Shuming faltered, his movements slackened slightly and immediately activated the Sword Qi around him to resist against her suppression of a stage above. Changing his naive mannerisms from earlier, he summoned multiple spirit swords and he went forward without dodging.

Just as the two were about to be locked in a combat, the entire Gui Yi Sect suddenly quaked violently, a loud rumbled echoed in the distance, as if something had exploded, the Protective Mountain Array was activated, eight huge spirit swords instantly appeared around Gui Yi Sect as a transparent array formation wrapped it up.

“What’s going on?” All the disciples were shocked and started to observe their surroundings blankly, even Zuo Shuming and Shu Yi who were competing in the middle were forced to stop.

The Sect Master Yu Luan’s expression changed, he pushed himself to his feet abruptly and turned to look towards the right of the main peak. “The sound is coming from Dan Chen Mountain!”

Being the peak master of Dan Chen Mountain, Shu Yuan’s expression turned grave as he flew up on his sword and headed in that direction.

“The competition is temporarily paused.” Yu Luan ordered and also flew towards Dan Chen Mountain, the other Nascent Soul Elders were no longer in the mood to bother about the competition and all followed to check out the situation.

Yi Qing released his divine perception for a look and frowned, turning to the person beside him, he murmured, “Master…”

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded.

Hence the two of them also gave chase following the others, Dan Chen Mountain wasn’t fair from the main peak, it could be seen once they left the main peak, but everyone did not see Dan Chen Mountain in its original location.

A burned smell floated faintly in the air, looking down, they realized that Dan Chen Mountain had unsure when, sunk down, originally it was about the same height as the other floating peaks, now it seemed like something had exploded from within, leaving only the top half. The bottom half had collapsed completely and fallen off as crushed stones, that was why it triggered the Protective Mountain Array as it floated beneath the other mountains.

The expressions of all the Elders darkened, as they all flew down to the Dan Chen Mountain which only had half of it left. Before they landed, a rebellious aura rushed towards them.

“This is…” Yu Luan paled instantly. “Someone is self-destructing his Nascent Soul!”
