1748 In the Sun and Moon Hall (1/2)
The masters of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were two beautiful middle-aged women with tall buns and phoenix eyes. They were in red and purple respectively. The other two women being called grand elders were also as beautiful as their masters. The head of Yin-Yang Sect was a 50-odd-year-old man. In black hair, he looked decent and noble like the owner of a city.
This man was Ying Canghai, the head of Ying Clan in Redmountain City and the head of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City.
Of course, it was just his public identity. Ying Canghai's real identity was the incumbent head of Yin-Yang Sect. Superficially, the two masters of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin and the other two women being called grand elders were Ying Canghai's wives, they were actually the four grand elders of Yin-Yang Sect. They were actually Ying Canghai's junior female fellow apprentices. In fact, only the grand elder in blue was Ying Canghai's wife.
On the ground, those members of Yin-Yang Sect covered their real cultivation bases in secret methods and rarities.
Ying Canghai's real cultivation base was fire immortal general despite he only looked like an earth immortal general in the public. The four grand elders of Ying-Yang Sect were all water immortal generals despite they all looked like below immortal generals in the public. Their real identities could barely be discovered by the others in the public; especially in remote places such as Redmountain City.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were already elders of Yin-Yang Sect; especially Jiang Ruoxin who was an excellent one among elders.
”Yuelan, Ruoxin, haven't you just joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace? Why did you come back so fast? Have you completed your mission?” Ying Canghai opened his mouth after the five influential figures of Yin-Yang Sect took their seats. At the same time, he glanced over Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin with his sharp eyes, saying, ”I was told that the Grand Dragon Emperor had come back after disappearing for more than 900 years. The entire Dragon Emperor City was shocked by that. It's also said that the new Dragon Emperor Zhang Tie is exceptionally tricky. All the elders and grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace have lost their power. Did you leave Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace because of your exposure?”
The four beauties fixated onto Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin at the same time.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin exchanged a glance with each other. Closely after that, Jiang Ruoxin replied, ”Head, we're back voluntarily. Because we've already completed our mission——bringing back the No-Hatred Tortoise that the Grand Dragon Emperor borrowed from our sect!”
Yin-Yang Sect was known as no hatred for three lives. Three Lives Sutra and No-Hatred Sutra were the independent secret cultivation method of Yin branch and Yang branch. No-Hatred Sutra was in the jade tortoise that the Grand Dragon Emperor once borrowed from them while the jade tortoise was called No-Hatred Tortoise in Yin-Yang Sect. When the Grand Emperor took away the No-Hatred Tortoise from Yin-Yang Sect, No-Hatred Sutra still spread among Yang branch of Yin-Yang Sect as some elders and branch heads mastered it. Whereas, when Yin-Yang Sect offended Force Emperor Immortal Palace and was almost wiped out by Force Emperor, No-Hatred Sutra was soon lost.
Over these years, the remains of Yin-Yang Sect were hiding here and there. When they finally recovered a bit, they immediately tried to get back the No-Hatred Tortoise from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
Especially within the late 100-odd years, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were absolutely not the only two persons who assumed such a heavy responsibility. However, all the earlier ones failed their missions. Compared to the setbacks that the earlier ones encountered, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin got the No-Hatred Tortoise too smoothly.
”What? You've already got back the No-Hatred Tortoise?”, Ying Canghai almost sprung up from his throne after hearing Jiang Ruoxin's words. The other four grand elders of Yin-Yang Sect also inclined a bit forward as they watched Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin in an unbelievable manner.
”The No-Hatred Tortoise is in this space-teleportation finger ring. You could take it out on the first day of next month...” Jiang Ruoxin said as he took out a finger ring and handed it to Ying Canghai.
After taking it, Ying Canghai closed his eyes as he penetrated his spiritual energy into the finger ring. Closely after that, he became thrilled.
At this moment, even if he couldn't use this space-teleportation finger ring, he could still check the object inside it spiritually.
”Hmm...hmm...it is No-Hatred Tortoise...it's as same as that being recorded in the illustrated book left by our sect. Even the hidden grains on its shell are the same. Our Yin-Yang Sect is going to develop vigorously. We're going to invigorate...” Ying Canghai became excited as he handed it to the other grand elders of Yin-Yang Sect at present.
After looking inside it spiritually, all the grand elders were shocked so much.
”When I went with your head to Dragon Emperor City to look for No-Hatred Tortoise, we almost couldn't come back due to heavy wounds as we encountered Long Jiutian the grand justice of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the evening...” the beautiful woman in blue sitting beside Ying Canghai handed the finger ring back to Ying Canghai as she asked Ji Yuelan out of curiosity.
”Oh, Yuelan, how did you get this No-Hatred Tortoise with Ruoxin? Tell us about the details!”
”Actually, we didn't get it on our own; instead, Zhang Tie gave it back to us voluntarily...” Ji Yuelan said calmly.
”What...” After hearing Yuelan's words, the head and all the four grand elders changed their faces at a stroke.
”You've told Zhang Tie about your real identity?” Ying Canghai immediately turned grim as he asked them solemnly.
”We joined the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City together with Zhang Tie. By then, we didn't know that Zhang Tie was the disciple of Dragon Emperor. As Yuelan and I got along well with Zhang Tie, after Zhang Tie ascended to the throne, he had let us assume important positions in Earth-Treasures Department. In the opinion of the others of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, we two are Zhang Tie's trusted subordinates. However, we didn't tell Zhang Tie about our real identities. We usually behaved meticulously in case of failing the mission after exposing our real identity. However, as the disciple of Dragon Emperor, Zhang Tie was really something. He has mastered a lot of shocking secret methods. We two didn't know how on earth Zhang Tie knew our real identities. One day, he suddenly appointed us to have a drink with him in the Forbidden City; closely after that, he took out the No-Hatred Tortoise at the table and wanted to give it back to us. Not until then did we know that Zhang Tie had already known our real identity...” Jiang Ruoxin explained.
The head and all the four grand elders of Yin-Yang Sect exchanged a glance with each other in an unimaginable way.
