Chapter 65 - Officially Joining the Sect (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Something big had happened in the Upper Azure World recently: word was going around that the Soul Formation Fiendish Cultivator Yu Meng had been killed. Even his subordinate Fiendish Cultivators who had killed many people were gone. Sky Severance Cliff, the Fiend Den which even the aristocratic families had trouble getting rid of, had been wiped out overnight.

Sky Severance Cliff was extremely easy to defend and it was at the border of the Mirage Sea. The Yin Qi had always been strong there, never dissipating. There was a great array formation of Yin just outside the Fiend Den which was set up specially to get rid of Immortal Cultivators. The four great aristocratic families and the immortal cultivation sects had tried countless times to destroy the Fiend Den but the Yin Qi had stopped them from doing so—they were always forced to retreat even before they made it to the top of Sky Severance Cliff. As time went by, the Fiendish Cultivators made their homes on the cliff. That was how the Fiend Den had formed.

Who would have thought that the den would disappear without a sound? Even the great array formation of Yin that once surrounded Sky Severance Cliff had disappeared.

No one knew exactly who had taken down the Fiend Den. All that was known related to this incident was a single word which was left on the stone wall atop Sky Severance Cliff—”Invincible”. This was the talk of the town. Some said that the four aristocratic families had finally had enough of the constant provoking from Sky Severance Cliff and so had gathered a whole group of their best Traveling Immortals to take down the Fiend Den by force. Others said that the fiends had offended the Great Demons from the Demon Realm. Since demons were unaffected by Yin Qi, they would be able to get rid of the fiends. Yet others said that some hidden expert had done the deed and the word “Invincible” was meant as a warning to the Fiendish Cultivators so they would not get too cocky.

These were all wild guesses, however. Nobody from the immortal sects or the four aristocratic families were able to solve this mystery.

Lonemoon and Yi Qing had heard about this news as they were looking on the streets for Shen Ying. They had felt it the moment Yu Hong and her group of ladies had left; they had known there was something suspicious about the group of ladies. However, they had never guessed that they would leave in such a hurry. Lonemoon wasn’t bothered at first. They could leave if they wanted to as they could always find other people. But Yi Qing then realized… Shen Ying was missing too!

Shen Ying did not have the radish to navigate the way and knowing how bad she was with directions, they had no choice but to search for her. They searched to no avail, however. They had tried to follow the aura of the group of girls, but they were suddenly lost. That was until they realized anomalies were happening in Upper Azure Town. It was then they knew where Shen Ying was. Lonemoon and Yi Qing remained in Upper Azure town that night to search high and low for Shen Ying and then the next day, they heard the news.

By the time the two of them made it back to the sect, they realized that Shen Ying was already sitting at the stone table at the rear hall. Her expression was calm and in front of her stood a group of girls dressed in robes of various colours, fussing over Shen Ying.

“Sect Master, what do you think about the dumplings? Are they to your liking?”

“Sect Master, please try the lotus seeds. I used spirit fire to cook them. They’re really fragrant!”

“Sect Master, my Xiao Long Baos 1 are cooked! Would you like to try them?”

“Sect Master, why don’t you try this soya bean milk that I’ve made?”

“Sect Master…”

Lonemoon: “…”

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

What is this? This… are we filming some gourmet program? How does she always manage to turn everyone around her into chefs each time she comes back?

“This is ridiculous!” Yi Qing marched over and pushed everybody away from Shen Ying. “These dumplings are too thick, these lotus seeds are too tough, these Xiao Long Baos are too crammed full of stuffing, and the soya bean milk looks disgusting. How dare you bring all of this food to Master? You’re mistreating her!”

“…”

You retard, would you like to join them?

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

“Shen Ying!” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched and he pulled Shen Ying to her feet. “Talk! What in the world is going on?”

“I’m really hungry,” Shen Ying explained innocently.

“Master, I’ll make some rice for you.” Yi Qing put away all the food on the stone table and headed into the kitchen.

Lonemoon’s face turned dark. That retard is hopeless . “Where have you been the entire night?”

“I went to fight!”
