Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 396 - 394: A Visit to Officer Shen from Wutong Mountain
Chapter 396: Chapter 394: A Visit to Officer Shen from Wutong Mountain
“Senior Sister, later try to restrain yourself and don’t act like last time…”
Qingfeng Zhenren stepped on auspicious clouds but did not directly descend to the Qi Sect.
He grasped Ling Xi’s sleeve and earnestly pleaded, “His temper is not as good as little Jiang’s. This is our Master’s decree, please don’t mess it up.”
In theory, even if their most favored Nie Shixiong was to be replaced, there was still a Senior Sister in the mountain, so it should not be outsiders’ turn.
This was even more disheartening than the last incident.
Clearly, the way Senior Sister almost had the word ‘jealousy’ written all over her face when Master accepted Jiang Qiulan as a disciple last time, made Qingfeng quite worried.
...
“…”
Ling Xi Zhenren pursed her lips and looked at the young boy nearby.
With her past temperament, just based on what Qingfeng said, a bout of spiritual pressure would have been unavoidable.
But now things were different.
Even after arriving at Great Qian, she had not felt any resentment.
With her own talent and temperament, it was really hard to shoulder a great responsibility. This was something everyone knew, it was just that no one had reminded her to her face before.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi did not offer any explanation, she just nodded slightly, “Mhm.”

She might not be up to handling big tasks, but she could still manage small matters like these well.
Master asked her to come merely to show Wutong Mountain’s consideration for that cultivator, so all she needed to do was to control her aura and speak less.
“I’m glad you understand.”
Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention anything else, but the Senior Sister had become much gentler since returning from the Thousand Demon Cave.
Jiang Qiulan stood quietly behind the two.
Her expression unchanged.
But her heart was full of emotion.
She remembered when she had reminded Shen Yi not to get too close to the Immortal Sect if not necessary. With his comprehension, he certainly did not need any mentorship to breakthrough to Divinity Transformation.
To avoid being restricted by others.
But even she had never expected that in such a short time, the youth would reach a point where Wutong Mountain had to personally come to invite him.
This group of proud cultivators was even putting aside their superior attitudes, and begun to consider hospitality and gift-giving.
Such fickle world affairs.
As the two conversed, they were unaware of what commotion Qi Sect below was experiencing.
It was Zhu Jue of the Yin God leading Wu Dao’an and many Qi Sect disciples, slowly proceeding to the mountain peak.
Since the last dispute between the Xu Family and Mysterious Light Cave,
Elder Miao had declared they would stop interfering with Great Qian’s affairs, be it good or bad.
However, at the arrival of the demon attack, not only did Li Qingfeng step in to quell it, but then other elders from Wutong Mountain also came.
Zhu Jue looked up at the clouds.
Not quite understanding what was happening.
Could it be that all these years, Wutong Mountain’s arrogance was just a façade, and in reality, they always considered Great Qian as a close ally?
What a joke…
He silently glanced behind at the room, guessing it was probably because of Shen Miaozhu.
Sure enough, as expected.
The next moment, Qingfeng Zhenren’s clear voice echoed from the heavens, “Desciples from Wutong Mountain, here to visit Great Qian’s Shen Dao You, we ask our presence to be announced to all.”
Upon these words, not only the disciples of Qi Sect but also several Yin Gods showed strange expressions.
They had never heard Wutong Mountain speak so politely before.
In the past, the decree would arrive before the people did, and they had to ride clouds for hundreds of miles to welcome them.
Now that they were coming to visit, they even knew to have someone announce their arrival first.
“Please, Qingfeng Elder, take the honored seat. Officer Shen is in seclusion, and I ask that you all wait for some time,” Zhu Jue responded with neither servility nor overbearance, and even though he knew these few people probably couldn’t see him, he did not neglect the etiquette, still clasping his hands together.
Clasping hands was the etiquette of Great Qian, and waiting was out of respect for Shen Miaozhu.
Today’s Shen Miaozhu no longer needed to hurry and drop everything to respectfully meet guests at the door.
“…”
Qingfeng Zhenren scratched the back of his head helplessly and stole another glance at his senior sister.
He was not particularly concerned, but he feared that his senior sister would feel she had lost face and might do something foolish again.
“You may go down now,”
Lingxi’s expression unchanged, she nodded slightly.
With that, the three people descended together onto the peak.
Upon seeing the woman in the lead, Zhu Jue and Wu Dao’an suddenly looked at each other: “…”
A suspicion arose in their minds.
The eldest sister of Wutong Mountain, the rumored Lingxi Zhenren.
Why would she be here?
This was a senior of even greater strength than Nie Jun.
It was said that the other party had already stepped into full Divinity Transformation and was faintly touching upon an even higher boundary.
An existence like this, why would she come to visit disciple Shen?
It couldn’t possibly be that her intentions were malevolent.
“Stop guessing already, hurry and call Shen Yi out…” Qingfeng Zhenren took a few strides to the front of the crowd, lowering his voice and said, “I’ve even had meals with him, he’s not an outsider.”
“…”
Zhu Jue fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Please wait patiently, everyone. Officer Shen’s retreat is a matter of utmost importance for Great Qian and must not be disturbed.”
“You guys! Hiss!” Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes and waved his sleeve in annoyance, truly a bunch of stubborn donkeys.
Zhu Jue, who had just refused them, had not noticed that Wu Dao’an behind him blinked.
“Eh.”
Wu Dao’an, stroking his beard, looked towards the quietest one among the three people.
If he remembered correctly, when he gifted Shen Yi the Qianyuan during the Martial Temple Refinement, this girl seemed to be by his side, right?
Hehe! Zhu Jue ah Zhu Jue, I knew your mind wasn’t as sharp as this old man’s, too rigid!
Thinking this, Wu Dao’an tiptoed out of the crowd and drifted over to that wooden house, stood at the door and called out softly, “Disciple Shen, an old friend has come for you!”
“…”
Shen Yi finally suppressed the medicinal poison, returning his complexion to normal.
He stepped out of the door, glancing at the old man.
How had he never noticed how gossipy this person was?
Shen Yi walked slowly to the front of the crowd and said indifferently, “Speak if you have something to say.”
Qingfeng, initially intending to exchange pleasantries with the young man upon seeing him come out, was taken aback as the other party showed not the slightest friendly expression and seemed to be harboring some dissatisfaction.
What have I done to you?
Li Qingfeng was somewhat puzzled and subconsciously glanced at Lingxi.
He knew this youngster had a bad temper, but didn’t expect him to be so standoffish, remembering how he had been quite easy to talk to at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.
The eldest sister wouldn’t be angry, would she?
But it was that glance that made Li Qingfeng freeze in place.
He saw Lingxi’s eyes widen, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her breathing much more disordered.
It was as if she had been struck by lightning, staring intently at the handsome face under the disheveled hair of the black-robed youth.
“Isn’t this… a bit too much…”
Li Qingfeng knew his senior sister valued appearances and would choose disciples with exceptional looks.
Shen Yi was indeed quite good-looking, but surely not to this extent?
Jiang Qiulan watched the unusual behavior of the woman beside her, with doubts surfacing in her clear eyes.
Just then, she heard a calm voice.
“Come here.”
Shen Yi waved his hand slightly.
Jiang Qiulan unconsciously stepped forward but saw that Lingxi had already walked out first.
She was silent for a moment: “…”
Confident that Shen Yi’s gaze was fixed on her, she then stepped forward again.
