Chapter 216 - Tanhua Sects Disaster (1/2)

“Nurturing him will be up to me. Tell me how many factions are preparing to invade the Fallen Immortal Heavenly Lake,” Xian Xianghua said indifferently as she facepalmed.

Everyone in the Tanhua Sect quickly came back to their senses from the delight.

The Fury Wave Demon Chief cupped his fists and said, “Chief Monk Xuanhe and the Hunyuan Empire’s Four Great Generals are on the way. The Merciful Melody Cliff, Hegemon Sword Sect and Xinhao Sect are all becoming restless as well. If we don’t hurry and revive the Ancient Diablo, we might not be able to defend against them.”

The others all looked incredibly worried.

Xian Xianghua was injured and her strength was much weaker than before. They might not have been able to defend against the attack from such a powerful group with just their strength.

“Chief Monk Xuanhe, that little monk is hopelessly muddled!”

Xian Xianghua’s eyes flashed as she said coldly.

She never would have thought that such a plain, ordinary, little monk would become the number one monk in the Northern Wilderness.

“Also, the Huangquan Drake King and the sovereign Lord of the demon race seem to have intentions to invade the main continent. They might be our true enemies,” the Blood Wing Demon Chief said. When he mentioned those two experts, the other demonic cultivators could not help but react in apprehension.

The fifth in the world!

The second in the world!

“In other words, they might try to take advantage of our weakness after this battle?” Xian Xianghua said as she pondered. If it was a one on one battle, she would not be afraid.

However, those fellows would be incredibly terrifying if they joined forces.

The Fury Wave Demon Chief gripped his fists and said in a low voice, “Hmph, these devious scum. Back when they were facing our Tanhua Sect, they acted so lowly and servilely!”

The others also felt quite furious.

Xian Xianghua waved her hand and said, “Alright, you all gather the disciples and wait for my orders. Also, continue monitoring Yang Di’s movements. Even though that boy stands aloof from worldly affairs, as the first in the world, there aren’t many things he can pursue anymore, and we need to be on our guard against him.”

The two Demon Chiefs nodded, following which Xian Xianghua turned into a ball of demonic qi and disappeared.

Following this, the demonic cultivators started to talk about Zhou Xuanji.

“Heheh, I never thought that the Sect Lord would marry one day.”

“Only a genius like this would be good enough for the Sect Lord.”

“It’s said that Zhou Xuanji doesn’t even want to be the Vice Sect Lord; the Sect Lord kidnapped him.”

“Hahaha, that’s our Sect Lord—domineering!”

“Have you seen him? What does he look like?”

“Of course, he looks talented and handsome. Those looks and that aura, very few men in the world can compare to him.”

Within the palace, Zhou Xuanji focused on cultivating while the Three-eyed Drought Rodent stood next to the pool and absorbed spirit qi as well.

The little fellow had not grown, but as it absorbed spirit qi, its lifespan became longer.

Xian Xianghua suddenly appeared within the palace, and she walked over to the pool and sat down to cultivate as well.

Zhou Xuanji did not open his eyes and neither of them disturbed the other.

Time passed just like that.

Seven days later, Xian Xianghua got up and left, while Zhou Xuanji continued to cultivate.

During these days, he did not get up, nor did he need to eat or drink or go to the toilet. He was completely focused on cultivating.

An hour later, Xian Xianghua returned. She did not disturb him and he did not open his eyes either.

Another 10 days passed.

Xian Xianghua finally spoke, “Your companions have arrived at the Tanhua Sect. I’ve had people settle them down, so you don’t have to worry.”

Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and said, “I want to see them.”

Xian Xianghua waved her right hand and an orb of water rose up over the spirit pool. Within the orb of water was an image of Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others.

They were walking through a mansion that had many courtyards which could accommodate over 100 people.

Zong Kuiming stood at the door and smiled as he said, “During this period of time you’ll all be staying here. I will send people to attend to your needs.”
