Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1344 - 613: Trouble Comes Knocking (Part 2)

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother."

Wang Jixuan cheerfully merged his cloud with the one beneath the others' feet and asked with a smile:

"Did Master Sword Dance give any instructions?"

Bai Ning sighed softly: "I don't know what Master means either. Just told me to come pick you up and said to dress to attract attention, and to get closer to you."

As she spoke, Bai Ning stepped to Master Wang's side.

Wang Jixuan felt a bit awkward, and Feng Zheng also moved closer.

Feng Zheng pulled on Wang Jixuan's sleeve and transmitted, "The people from the Fire God Palace are not friendly. It's said there's even a Daluo Golden Immortal waiting outside our Mountain Gate... One of them is called Huang Qian'er, the little princess of the Fire God Palace who was injured by that mysterious expert impersonating you last time. She's apparently the descendant of Fire God Palace Master Huang Jiuling."

Wang Jixuan frowned and asked, "What is she doing here?"

"To question you about it," Feng Zheng smirked, "Surely it can't be that last time, the imposter who attacked this little princess made her fall in love with your appearance instead?"

Bai Ning quietly said, "Junior Brother Feng, you'd better not say something that becomes a prophecy."

Feng Zheng winked at Wang Jixuan, and Master Wang just smiled silently.

Such absurd events, no matter how vast the Immortal Realm, are unlikely to happen.

The three of them rode the clouds and landed on an Immortal Island outside the Sword God Palace.

After all, the Fire God Palace is their rival force. They had just fought fiercely in the Broken Cloud Desert, and the Sword God Palace couldn't possibly allow the people of Fire God Palace to easily approach the core area of the Sword God Palace.

The internal power structure of the Sword God Palace is mainly divided into Direct Lineage, Core, and Outer Affiliates.

The so-called Direct Lineage and Core have distinctions. Direct Lineage can be regarded as a line passed down from a Daluo Golden Immortal, while most of the Core are the Golden Immortal lineage of the Sword God Palace.

The Outer Affiliate functions as sect forces attached to the Sword God Palace, mainly derived from three sources:

Founded by disciples of the Sword God Palace from successive generations, founded by powerful Loose Cultivators (starting from Golden Immortal) who sought refuge within the Sword God Palace, and a line of ancient sword slaves from the Sword God Palace.

At present, the responsibility of entertaining the group from the Fire God Palace falls to the strongest force among the Outer Affiliates of the Sword God Palace. The Immortal Island was bustling with figures, with tens of thousands of Immortal Soldiers, and countless Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals.

The three of them, being of the Direct Lineage background and having Half-step Golden Immortal cultivations, were among the 'celebrities' of their Sword God Palace.

As soon as they appeared, numerous gazes converged upon them. Many elder figures hurried out from the Immortal Palace clusters at the center of the Immortal Island, while many young talents and beautiful fairies came forward to join the excitement, eager to acquaint themselves with the influential younger generation of the Sword God Palace.

Master Wang maintained one pose—smiling and nodding.

Feng Zheng, however, put on a cool demeanor with a stern face.

Bai Ning, being a social butterfly, could call out the names of the promising younger generation within this Outer faction, engaging with them in a courteous manner that made people feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Two Golden Immortal Elders stepped forward to guide the three of them towards the central Immortal Palace clusters.

Bai Ning voluntarily withdrew to Master Wang's side, as he was the main figure of the day.

"Nephew Jixuan," an old woman smiled and transmitted, "Regarding those guests from the Fire God Palace, just handle them as you see fit later, without any concerns or hesitations. Say whatever you want, just remember one thing: don't lose the prestige of our Sword God Palace."

Master Wang nodded to indicate he understood.

Be a little more assertive and domineering; what could be difficult about that?

Wang Jixuan casually hung the Purple Feather Sword at his side, resting his left hand on the sword's hilt, then stood tall with an expression ready for a fight.

He hadn't even entered the Immortal Palace yet.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two figures dashed out of the hall and stood at the front of the hall door.

Two Golden Immortal Elders from the Sword God Palace had appeared, accompanied by a host of Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal experts waiting for orders on the outskirts, each grasping the hilt of the sword beside them, with piercing stares directed at the two figures.

It only required a command from Wang Jixuan for these people to unhesitatingly rush forward.

Master Wang remained relatively calm, steadied his mind, and looked forward, only to see a small, palm-sized white face, adorned with delicate features tinged with a pitiful expression.

The visitor was naturally Huang Qian'er.

This Phoenix Clan girl was naturally much older than Wang Jixuan, considering Wang Jixuan had been in slumber for sixteen thousand years. However, this girl spent most of her time cultivating and growing within an egg, slowly taking form, so hasn't been in the world for very long.

Behind Huang Qian'er was a middle-aged woman in the Third Grade Golden Immortal Realm, seemingly also from the Flying Bird Clan, but not of ancient Phoenix Clan bloodline, and in the Fire God Palace, was a 'non-direct lineage' expert.

Huang Qian'er took a half-step forward, observing Wang Jixuan closely.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze, Master Wang frowned and asked, "Fellow, are you looking for me for something?"

Huang Qian'er said in a crisp voice, "Are you, really?"

"I suppose," Wang Jixuan replied with an awkward smile, "I've heard about your attacker. This incident has also become the spark for the second battle in the Broken Cloud Desert..."

'Can't show weakness, must maintain the Sword God Palace's prestige.'

"You Fire God Palace really don't distinguish right from wrong, lacking discernment. You're fooled, and yet your Golden Immortal experts opened fire without any explanation. Really inexplicable."

Huang Qian'er gently bit her lip and softly said, "Could we talk in private? I, I have some things to discuss with you."

Wang Jixuan immediately said, "There is nothing that cannot be said in public, Miss Huang, speak freely."

"There are too many people here..."

Huang Qian'er's pretty face blushed with two faint pink hues.

The surrounding crowd, young and old, immediately understood, and their hostility diminished greatly, with many showing a hint of a smile.

If the disciple of the Sword God Palace managed to win over the Phoenix Clan's little princess, naturally, the fame and reputation of the Sword God Palace would soar greatly!

Master Wang: ...

No way, why are you blushing like a bubbling teapot!

"Isn't it better with more people?" Wang Jixuan raised his head slightly, "I am a disciple of the Sword God Palace, taught by the Nine Spirits Sword Venerable. If I get too close to a Fire God Palace girl, it would surely make fellow Daoists laugh!"

"Then, then okay."

Huang Qian'er raised her hand to straighten the hair by her ear and sneaked a few glances at Wang Jixuan with her almond eyes. She said softly:

"Then may I ask, do you have a Daoist partner... But you don't have to answer me right away... It's just, I just wanted to ask..."

Wang Jixuan's forehead was covered with black lines.

Beside him, Feng Zheng also looked puzzled, unable to understand how he fell short compared to Junior Brother Wang in terms of attractiveness.

Bai Ning couldn't help but step forward with a smile, "Junior Brother Wang already has a Daoist partner, and their feelings for each other are deep and significant. Even my several attempts at expressing goodwill to Junior Brother Wang were politely declined by him."

Huang Qian'er's expression visibly fell.

Wang Jixuan asked with curiosity, "Miss, do we know each other before?"

"No," Huang Qian'er shook her head honestly, speaking softly, "We really haven't met before, but, but I, how to say, I met someone you had seen... the time of the attack..."

She looked towards Master Wang for help, her almond eyes full of helplessness: "Could we find a place without people to talk? There's something I need to tell you."

Wang Jixuan and Bai Ning exchanged glances with Feng Zheng, each nodding.

"Alright, then let's bring the Golden Immortal Elders on both sides as well."

"Okay," Huang Qian'er sighed in relief.

It was as if she had been liberated from torment, with a bit more happiness reflected in her eyes.

A moment later.

In a secret room at the back of the Immortal Palace, an elder and two guards from the Fire God Palace, along with two elders from the Sword God Palace, sat cross-legged behind a screen. Feng Zheng and Bai Ning were each seated behind their own screen.

They looked at each other, but their gaze was focused on the other side of the screen.

There, outside the window, a bamboo grove swayed slightly, and the girl full of worries was kneeling behind a low table, bowing her head, not daring to face the man sitting before her.

Master Wang was just about to reject this impossible cross-species forbidden romance when the girl quietly transmitted, saying:

"Fellow, please assist me. I have been corrupted by the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao Worm."

Wang Jixuan's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew it!

However, knowing that this young phoenix was not the kind to fall head over heels at first sight did indeed relieve Wang Jixuan.

He still prefers mature women.
