Upon learning of the Great Elder Chang Luo’s identity, the woman who erged from the Mountain Protection Array had a strange look on her face.
She glanced at the Great Elder Chang Luo’s Identity Token to confirm his identity was correct.
"Great Elder, is the news you brought true? You’re saying Elder Ying was kidnapped by people from the Underworld Yama Palace in collusion with the Beiqing Feng Mansion?"
"Indeed, I heard earlier that the Ghost Emperor from the Underworld Yama Palace had once forced his way into the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, causing severe damage to the pavilion. This ti, they took Elder Ying, and although I wanted to save her, I am willing but powerless, so I had no choice but to imdiately co to your sect to ask for help." The face of Great Elder Chang Luo was filled with heartfelt sorrow and concern.
"Giggle, the Great Elder is indeed well-intentioned, but I, as a person blessed by heaven, have safely returned," said Elder Ying with a chuckle.
The face of Great Elder Chang Luo stiffened as if he had seen a ghost.
As the light from the Mountain Protection Array flashed again, a woman dashed out — who else could it be but Elder Ying!
"You, how could you..." The Great Elder Chang Luo reacted very quickly, his face changing rapidly, but he soon disguised his surprise with a show of concern, "Shui Ji, it’s good you’re unhard. I have been worried about you these past days."
"Great Elder, no need for such courtesy. Our sect’s rules are strict; you’d better just call Elder Ying." Die i, who had already rged with Elder Ying’s body, felt disgusted looking at this pretentious old man.
Seeing that Elder Ying was unhard and not showing any intimacy towards him upon their eting, Great Elder Chang Luo couldn’t help but beco suspicious,
"Elder Ying, how did you escape from the clutches of the Underworld Yama Palace? I heard that their minions never leave any survivors." He suspected that Elder Ying was no longer the original Ying Shuiji.
Hearing Great Elder Chang Luo speak so, the other female disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, especially the one who was as lovely as a blooming plum, furrowed their brows.
"Great Elder Chang Luo, what do you an by that? Are you saying that I, as an elder of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, can’t even handle the Underworld Yama Palace?" mocked Die i with a sneer.
After hearing this, the female disciple recalled the normal state of the Life Fire Lamp symbolizing Elder Ying and her doubts dissipated.
"Elder Ying, please don’t get wrong, I am just concerned about you. Now that the elder has returned safely, we should all rejoice. I, however, still need to attend the World’s First Refining, so I shall not linger here anymore," said Great Elder Chang Luo, unable to continue using his sche after failing to have his intentions fulfilled, he left dejectedly, saving face.
"Great Elder, this incident was likely a misunderstanding. The Underworld Yama Palace is the common enemy of all individuals on the Righteous Path. Your good intentions are appreciated on behalf of the Pavilion Master, and when the ti cos for our two sects to join forces to eliminate the Underworld Yama Palace, we will need to collaborate more closely. Since the two of you are leaving, I would like to offer you an escort out," said the dazzlingly beautiful woman as she offered to show them the way. Her seemingly cold eyes paused montarily on Chen Mu’s figure.
Great Elder Chang Luo, quick-witted as he was, imdiately understood and expressed his thanks, and the three of them disappeared into the Cloud Sea.
As Die i watched the Independent Cultivator leave, she pondered thoughtfully.
Luckily, her master had reminded her to return to the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion imdiately after rging with the body, otherwise that old fox, Chang Luo, might have succeeded in his plot.
Die i thought to herself that she must tell her master about this incident as soon as possible.
anwhile, Great Elder Chang Luo felt slighted after being coldly treated by Elder Ying and was sowhat irritated.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t let go of Elder Ying, but rather he feared that the benefits he hoped to gain through Elder Ying might no longer be within reach.
However, Great Elder Chang Luo quickly let go of his concerns.
For he noticed that the female disciple from Yaochi Immortal Pavilion behind him was having a delightful conversation with Chen Mu.
The woman said she was escorting Great Elder Chang Luo, but along the way, she flew side by side with Chen Mu at an intimate distance, looking quite the handso man and beautiful lady together.
Chen Mu was born a Princely Heir, always surrounded by won since he was young, and this female disciple, a few years his junior, had never interacted with n due to the Sect’s Precepts.
Chen Mu’s handso appearance and humorous conversation soon won the woman’s favor.
When they reached the edge of the Cloud Sea, the woman quite obviously showed reluctance to part.
"I am Yue i, in charge of the Sect’s Mountain Protection Array. May I ask for the esteed na of this Senior Brother?" She glanced at Chen Mu, who under the setting sun was bathed in a rosy gleam, more handso than ever.
The woman looked several tis, feeling her heart beat faster and could not help but beco shy.
Yue i?
Great Elder Chang Luo’s heart stirred.
He had heard from Elder Ying before that this Yue i was the Closed-door Disciple of the Yaochi Pavilion Master, and despite her young age, her status within the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was nearly on par with Elder Ying’s.
Looking at her deanor, it was clear she harbored affection for his disciple, Chen Mu; this was an opportunity to be seized.
Won of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion appeared pure and untainted, but which young girl does not harbor feelings of love? Chen Mu might have fallen from grace, but being of noble birth, both his temperant and appearance were top-notch among n.
"My disciple, that Yue i is young and beautiful, with high cultivation; you must take this to heart."
Seeing that Yue i had walked far away, Great Elder Chang Luo’s face was full of smiles.
"Master, I’m not interested in that woman. What I want is Ye Lingyue," Chen Mu shrugged.
"Silky kid, at this ti, you are still thinking about that wretched girl. That woman has malicious tactics, and she might be colluding with people from Underworld Yama Palace. You can compete with Feng Xun, but can you compete with Ghost Emperor Wu Chong?" Chang Luo chastised.
Chen Mu had always been by his side since he was a child, clever as well, and Chang Luo held him even closer than his own daughters.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Elder Ying to treat Chen Mu specially.
ntioning the Ghost Emperor, Chen Mu’s expression darkened slightly.
"It’s just a woman, now that I think about it, I seem to have heard the Sect Leader ntion the na Ye Lingyue before. After a while, when I return to the Sect, I’ll ask again. Think about it, Yue i might beco the new Pavilion Master of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion in the future. If you covertly form a Dual Cultivation partnership with her, when the ti cos, I, as your master, will aid you in usurping the position of Hunyuan Sect Master. By then, not to ntion one Ye Lingyue, even ten of them you could have at your disposal. And the disgrace that Kaijiang Prince Manor suffered in Beiqing can be avenged." The words of Great Elder Chang Luo woke Chen Mu.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I understand," said Chen Mu, recalling the humiliation of him and his father being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison while Feng Xun left with Ye Lingyue. The hatred in his heart was instantly ignited.
"That old woman Ying Shuiji turns her face faster than a book, she must have had so tricks up her sleeve. Too bad, from now on, there will be no more benefits from the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion. We should not delay; let’s hurry to the Four Directions Ferry and attend the World’s First Refining." Having said that, Great Elder Chang Luo left with several disciples.
