Chapter 334 - Surrender (1/2)

In the beginning, no one cared about the origin of the news…

“Fellow Daoist, have you heard? The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School has a descendant! We have to be careful when we go out. Don’t offend such a big shot.”

Gradually, it became a major event in the five continents…

“Fellow Daoist, does the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School know? That’s right, that’s right. He’s the eldest disciple of the Dao Sect! I don’t know when he had a son. It’s said that his son is in the line of succession of the Great Daoist Master and the ancient demon deity, the Ice G.o.ddess! He has three heads and eight arms and can control wind, fire, and lightning! His cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds. It’s said that he can become a Zenith Heaven immortal in a thousand years!”

In the end, it evolved into something that was almost real…

“Aunt-Master, you came out of seclusion? What is everyone talking about… Aunt-Master, you don’t know. When the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, cultivated the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, he sat on the Taiji Painting and sensed the interaction between Heaven and Earth… They had a child!”

“Sect Leader! Sect Leader! We have a joyous occasion!”

A month and a half after the opening ceremony, the various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect gradually quietened down. A total of 1,200 new disciples were distributed at the top of the dozens of peaks and began to cultivate for 200 years…

Due to the fact that a young man with rich luck had arrived in the sect, he had been accepted as an in-name disciple by the founder, Perfected Du’e. He had joined the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate. The various peaks wanted to compare and see which peak the chief disciple would land on this time.

Moreover, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou, had not gone into seclusion in the past month and a half. He had been secretly busy for dozens of days and nights.

Today, he finally had some free time. Ji Wuyou stood in front of the window of the Immortal Du Hall’s side hall and looked at the sea of clouds outside. His eyes were calm and he sighed. “Changshou is right.”

As the Sect Leader, the most important thing to do when new disciples entered the sect was to investigate the background and potential of those disciples. The focus would be on finding out if there were any external demons who had taken over the disciples’ bodies, hidden inner demons, or reincarnated evil spirits.

In that case, he felt much more at ease.

The Great Daoist Master’s bloodline is indeed extraordinary.

Just as he was thinking that in his heart, he suddenly heard an elder rus.h.i.+ng over from outside the Immortal Du Hall, shouting, “There’s a joyous occasion in Ren School.”

Ji Wuyou was confused. He walked to the main hall with his hands behind his back and welcomed the elder.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Elder Wen, as an elder, you have to act like one. Why are you panicking?” Ji Wuyou asked calmly, “Tell me slowly. What’s the joyous occasion of Ren School?” “Sect Leader, it’s a joyous occasion!” The elder rolled up his wide sleeves and widened his eyes. He said happily, “Previously, the executives heard a piece of news when they went out. I was worried, so I went out to investigate. Sect Leader, guess what?” Ji Wuyou frowned and suddenly had a bad premonition. “Why?”

“The Great Daoist Master has a descendant! The Great Daoist Master of Ren School has a descendant! It is said that the Connate Taiji Painting of Ren School and the Great Daoist Master had a daughter! She is currently cultivating in the Primordial World!” “The Great! Pfft..”

Ji Wuyou’s eyes widened. Suddenly, his aura surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The mighty Golden Immortal big shot swayed and almost collapsed.

Elder Wen was stunned for a moment before hurriedly supporting Ji Wuyou. Ji Wuyou grabbed the elder’s arm and felt dizzy. His ears were buzzing. “Sect Leader! Sect Leader, what happened to you!?!” “No, it’s fine.” Ji Wuyou gritted his teeth and said, “Has this matter… been spread?” “It has indeed spread around. Moreover, I heard that the Carefree Immortal Sect has already released news that they want to invite the Great Daoist Master’s descendant to the Immortal Sect to cultivate. They want to treat the Grand Elder well and protect him with all their might.”

“Hmph! You’re jumping around happily now!” Ji Wuyou frowned and could not help but sigh. He roughly understood what had happened.

My master is really…

What a scam.

If he angered the Great Daoist Master, would the Immortal Du Sect still want him? How could he and his master bear the wrath of the Great Daoist Master?

At that moment, Ji Wuyou glared at the elder and ordered the sect not to spread such rumors. “The Taiji Painting is a Connate Cardinal treasure. It is used to suppress the destiny of Ren School for our Sect Master, the Saint. It sounds like it is a fabrication by others to hurt the reputation of the Great Daoist Master of Ren School. I’ll let the elders discuss and draw up a plan to announce to the public that the Great Daoist Master has never had any Dao companions since he started cultivating! That is a real pure Yang body!”

“This… I will follow the Sect Leader’s orders!”

At that moment, the elder felt that what his Sect Leader said was right. He lowered his head and rushed to the Hundred Mortal Hall.

Ji Wuyou wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. His face turned pale and he sighed. Is this how you keep your lips sealed, Master? There are too many gaps! What should I do? What else can I do? Ji Wuyou rode a cloud towards the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, he could only discuss with Li Changshou and see if he could appease the Great Daoist Master’s anger through Li Changshou… When the Sect Leader rushed to the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou was teaching Ling’e the method to create the old paper effigy. Lingle’s eyes were blurry from looking at it and she kept saying that it was too difficult.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses discovered that the Sect Leader was rus.h.i.+ng there. With a flip of his hand, he put away the jade talisman and paper effigy and said to Ling’e, “Prepare some tea. The Sect Leader is coming over. We might have something to discuss.”

“Oh.” Ling’e blinked and agreed obediently.

Things were different now. Her immortal senses had also captured the Sect Leader’s figure. At that moment, she felt that what her senior brother had said previously was most likely true.

The matter regarding Fairy Yun Xiao was probably… Ah, the pressure increased again. When Ji Wuyou arrived at the lake, Li Changshou hurriedly went out to welcome him. He bowed to the Sect Leader and said, “Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Ah.” Ji Wuyou forced a smile and set up a barrier around him. Then, he said, “Let’s not talk about greeting each other. If we are to really talk about it, you and I are of the same generation.” Li Changshou could not help but blink. What did the Sect Leader find out?

However, if the Sect Leader figured out his ident.i.ty outside the sect and knew that the Grand Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Courts had appeared to support him, then…

As an in-name disciple of the Saint, Li Changshou should be… a generation higher than the Sect Leader. Why were they of the same generation?

Li Changshou quickly captured the “difference” and a.n.a.lyzed it carefully in his heart. However, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

“Sect Leader, please come in and get some rest.” “Yes.” Ji Wuyou did not know what to say. He nodded and agreed. Then, he went to the straw hut with Li Changshou. The Sect Leader sat down. Li Changshou stood at the side as a disciple. After being persuaded by Ji Wuyou, he reluctantly sat at the side. At that moment, Ling’e came in with tea and bowed to the Sect Leader. She was about to leave when Li Changshou stopped her.

“Junior Sister, let’s listen to the Sect Leader’s lecture.”

“Yes, Senior Brother.” Ling’e stood obediently at the side.

Ji Wuyou did not bother much about it. After all, he knew Ling’e’s ident.i.ty after seeing how she had gone through the Tribulation Transcendence.

She was a member of the Great Daoist Master’s team!

“Changshou,” Ji Wuyou said, “You… Um…” Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. “Sect Leader, just speak your mind.” Ling’e frowned slightly and thought to herself, Could it be that the Sect Leader knows that Senior Brother and I are preparing to steal the Little Qiong Peak? After all, Ji Wuyou was the Sect Leader of a sect. He had cultivated for many years and had seen countless storms. At that moment, he knew what he should do.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Changshou, there are some things that I’ve already known since a long time ago even though you didn’t tell me about them.” Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously began to think about how he had revealed a flaw. “Sect Leader, this…” Li Changshou pursed his lips and looked a little embarra.s.sed. However, his gaze remained calm.
