Chapter 923: Forethought To Prepare For Rainy Days

Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly. If it wasn’t for Xue Yu who moved faster than his speed in preventing her, such a problem like exposing his identity wouldn’t have occurred. But fortunately, the Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect was famous for being an outstanding and upright sect. All the disciples of the sect were a group of Immortal Confucianist scholars.

Additionally, Tang Xiu had already done research about this Confucianist scholars sect, and the patriarchal positions such as the sect’s elders were extremely demanding in terms of mentality for those who took the office. It was required of them to uphold and advocate the Rule of Etiquette, Rule of Virtue, and lastly, emphasizing the Rule of Man as a whole. Of those three, the etiquette and morality of human affairs were of the most importance.

Hence, so long as he could make this Dao Master Guai make a promise today, the crisis caused by exposing his identity would be reduced to a minimum—unless, of course, this man wanted his state of mind to be encroached by hidden dangers, causing him to be unable to have any breakthroughs in the future.

After keeping silent for a long while as he looked at Dao Master Guai who was kowtowing to him, Tang Xiu then said indifferently, “The Pristine Confucianist Immortal Sect is just a third-rate sect in the Immortal World. Your sect may occupy a plot of land there, but I only need to speak if I want to root you out. It’s just that I have no malice towards your sect and have only paid attention to it once. However, today, I want you to promise me something—that way, I won’t send anyone to seek out your sect. Certainly, if you help me do a certain thing, not only will I present you with lavish gifts in the future, but I’ll also give your sect a karmic bond with me.”

“Please do tell, Supreme Lord,” replied Dao Master Guai hurriedly.

“One thing I want you to do is that you must conceal the appearance of my avatar here on Earth,” said Tang Xiu. “Xue Yu is my woman on this planet. And since she has already taken you as her Master, then we’re already tied with karma. I hope you can shelter her by the time she has ascended to the Immortal World.”

Dao Master Guai’s pupils contracted. He looked up to look at Xue Yu deeply and immediately said, “I, Dao Master Guai, vow to my very soul that I’ll never reveal to anyone about your appearance on Earth. Whereas…. About your wife… so long as Xue Yu ascends to the Immortal World, I’ll do everything I can to shelter her.”

Tang Xiu was satisfied and nodded, “There’s something I’m quite curious about, though. How can you leave your inheritance behind on Earth? Could it be that you’re an Earthling and then ascended to the Immortal World?”

“That’s right. I was born in the era of the Tang Dynasty.” Dao Master Guai respectfully replied, “At that time, Confucianism had declined whereas Buddhism was more prevalent. I originally lost hope and then left my legacy here, though I never expected that someone would be able to crack open the Six Starlight Array I arranged here and obtain my inheritance.”

“I see.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “It seems like there’s indeed an enormous difference between the flow of time on Earth and in the Immortal World. Alright, get up.”

Dao Master Guai cautiously stood up. He shot a look at Xue Yu before shifting his eyes to Tang Xiu. His expression suddenly changed and he asked, “Venerable Supreme Lord, how can you…”

“You wanna ask why and how I can be here on Earth, right?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile. “Well, what are the rumors flying around there, exactly?”

“There really are some rumours about you in the Immortal World. It was said that when you were ascending to the Gods’ Realm, your body shattered and your soul dissipated. Many of your former disciples, as well as your subordinates, even rushed over to your abode where you lived in seclusion before. They held a huge memorial service for you there.”

“My soul and body disappeared, huh?” Tang Xiu faintly hummed. “What a joke! My ascension to the Gods’ Realm was unusually easy. Anyway, just forget it. I have nothing to do with anything going on in the Immortal World for some time. Just wait for me to go back there in the future. I’m going to see those old friends of mine again!”

Dao Master Guai scrutinized Tang Xiu in front and hesitatingly asked, “Supreme Lord… your appearance and… your cultivation… how can…”

Buzz…

A rushing burst of aura came into the subterranean space instantly, followed by Gu Yan’er in her usual white dress appearing out of thin air. She looked like a celestial maiden who descended into the mortal world. When her eyes fell on the soul avatar of Dao Master Guai, she immediately flicked her finger with thick killing intent gleaming in her eyes.

“You are…”

Dao Master Guai was extremely shocked and was about to shout out loud. But after seeing her face, he desperately swallowed what he was about to exclaim. With deep fear evident on his face, he called out and bent down on his knees, “The 326th generation disciple of the Pristine Immortal Confucianist Sect, Dao Master Guai, pays respect to Immortal Rakshasi Monarch.”

Xue Yu, whose face greatly changed, instantly blitzed in front of Tang Xiu to keep her off. She was a Soul Formation expert now, yet she still felt hugely threatened by Gu Yan’er. The suffocating beauty before her was as though a huge mountain she needed to look up to. Even she could tell that slaying herself would be absolutely trivial for this woman.

“Master!”

Gu Yan’er’s brows gently creased and she just shot an indifferent glance at Xue Yu before gracefully greeting Tang Xiu.

Master?!

Xue Yu was stunned. She turned her head and saw Tang Xiu smiling. She then looked at the stunning beauty Gu Yan’er again, while a stream of strange emotions filled her heart.

It was very fortunate that Dao Master Guai only had his soul avatar present at this moment. If his true body were here, he would absolutely be shocked by a “Master” address from Gu Yan’er. Who doesn’t know this female devil? She’s a notoriously famous and horrifying female Ashura of the Immortal World!
