Cannon fodder in a classic cultivation story

7. Senior is from the mortal realm?

Ya Wen paused for a moment. "It's not like I have a say in how the Immortal Guild's arrays work."

Meanwhile, Wan also chimed in on the discussion: "But don't you have teleporting talismans? I recall you were a Talisman Contestant during the last Seven Sect Tournament."

"My talismans only allow me to teleport back to my sect since I don't have authorization to connect them to other core energies," Yawen clarified. "I solely possess talismans towards my sect. Plus, because of my health, I wasn't a good fit to use or craft talismans. The longer the distance, the more Qi is needed. "

"That's such a shame." the Young Master replied, "If only my clan could resolve the Immortal Guild array - but in the end, it is still in the hands of the Immortal Guild."

"Elder Brother, your Clan is one of swordsmen, not of array masters. This whole mess is the problem of the Immortal Guild." Wan replied, but quickly, the other girl interrupted her.

"We don't know how much it will take. I have heard news of how the Master Luo of the Immortal Guild had gone on an expedition. "

"Master Luo? Who even is that?" Wan seemed clueless.

"Master Luo is one of the elders of the Immortal Guild and the one supervising this area of the realm. "Yawen replied, slowly explaining to Wan, "He is one of the teachers at Heavenly Clouds Sect, and the news Cultivator Mei heard is quite true, too. He had left more than a few months ago."

Su Jing stood as quiet as a wall as she listened to their conversation. She touched the top of the teacup in circles, realising she was an exceptionally talented background character. She almost felt the blue filter washing her body while the others talked.

Regarding Master Luo, he was someone known by her. His famous name was Luo Changle, and he was the type of character meant to teach Feng Zhi Hao talismans, arrays and formations cultivation practices since he was quite a rare genius even in the immortal realm. Everyone wanted that type of teacher, but only the female lead succeeded in being his disciple.

If Su Jing wanted to go to the same field as Ya Wen, she would soon meet him since, in the story, he came back immediately after Feng Zhi Hao began to be known as a doctor.

But that was a matter to worry about later. What attracted Su Jing's attention was Young Master Wu's Clan matters.

So his Clan's array masters were overseeing the Yang City array? If that is true, then the people controlling the Immortal Guild Branch in Yang City were his Clan. And the Clan powering over Yang City was - the Black Tortoise Clan! Yawen told her about this just a few moments ago.

At first, Su Jing hadn't paid much attention to the name, but now that she was revisiting her memories, something clicked. There had been a minor scandal involving the Black Tortoise Clan, though not directly connected to Feng Zhi Hao. It was more like a side story to explain the actual events of the main story.

This Clan had been the victim of a devastating attack by another powerful clan, which had resulted in the death of the previous clan master. That shook the whole realm, so everyone pointed out the attackers' actions so much that it was decided at the urgent Immortal Convention that the Clan should be exterminated for the well-being of all cultivators.

And like this, the Clan responsible for the assault had been completely wiped out. The connection to Feng Zhi Hao was that, after many years, Feng Zhi Hao had fortuitously stumbled upon their most treasured heirloom—an artefact of immense value. Although many blamed the Clan's action, cultivators were as greedy as they wanted to find their clan treasures. So, of course, the female lead had to take it right before their noses.
