Chapter 142 Fell From The Sky...
That rascal...
Li Changshou, who was focused on refining the array foundation, placed a portion of his attention on watching the trembling backs of the disciple who was in charge of patrolling.
That person was extremely unlucky. He had witnessed the “hideous” makeup of the three young fairies in the sect, who were of two different generations. Fortunately, everyone was very restrained and did not cause any bloodshed. They had merely frightened that disciple.
Jiu Jiu, who was extremely fierce, carried her Spiked Mace and stepped on a wooden stool. One glance from her was enough to make the patrolling disciple shiver. Youqin Xuanya, who had washed her face clean, had an austere expression. Her gaze was cold, making the patrolling disciple feel uneasy...
Fortunately, the smiling Ling’e stepped forward in time.
She used the excuse of giving him an out to make the male disciple swear a thousand-word Dao oath. Only then did the three ladies let the male disciple go...
The disciple had gone to Little Qiong Peak to send a communication jade token.
Before he left, he had developed a huge psychological trauma that destroyed many of his previous imaginations.
It’s a letter for Master again...
Li Changshou frowned slightly.
His intuition told him that once his master received the letter, there would definitely be an accident.
Without needing Li Changshou to send a paper effigy over, the three outstanding female Qi Refinement cultivators in the pavilion had already begun studying the communication jade token.
Ling’e frowned slightly and asked, “Another letter for Master?”
Jiu Jiu asked in bewilderment, “Does Senior Brother Qi Yuan have any friends outside? He shouldn’t have left the sect before.”
Without any outsiders around, Youqin Xuanya had stopped being aloof.
“Aunt-Master Jiu, if Uncle-Master Qi Yuan did not leave the sect, how could he have taken Senior Brother Changshou and Junior Sister Ling’e under his wing?” “Oh, right, Changshou and Ling’e did not enter the sect during the opening ceremony.”
Jiu Jiu touched her smooth chin and expressed her opinion. “I want to open it and take a look...”
Youqin Xuanya hurriedly asked, “How do we do that?”
However, while the two of them were talking, Ling’e had already grabbed a brush and paper to note down the content of the communication jade token, lest it disappeared. She was really all about taking action!
In his heart, Li Changshou commended Ling’e and gave her ten points for her meticulousness.
Next, Ling’e began to carefully inspect the restrictions on the jade token, in case there were any incantations, evil spells... Li Changshou gave her ten more points.
However, after checking it, Ling’e directly induced her Dharma powers into the jade token. She did not make full use of the Perfected Immortal beside her to confirm the safety of the jade token... Hence, Li Changshou deducted sixty points from her.
When beams of light appeared on the jade token and condensed into a letter, Li Changshou’s voice transmission entered Ling’e’s ears.
“Steadiness Sutra, forty copies.” Ling’e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. After mumbling for a while, she quickly picked up her brush and swiftly wrote down the words on it.
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou used his immortal senses to scan the “lighted-up words”. He frowned slightly and stopped refining the array foundation. He stood up from behind his desk.
Sure enough, something happened again.
However, he could not tell if that matter was good or bad. It would not affect him much.
In the pavilion beside the spiritual beast enclosure, Jiu Jiu had already started reading without emotion.
“To Disciple Jiangyu and Qi Yuan:
Back then, in order to seek the opportunity to break through to the Heaven Immortal realm, I left the Primordial World and traveled to the Major Chiliocosm. Now, I’ve finally gained enlightenment and broken through a few days ago to the Heaven Immortal realm. After I stabilize my cultivation realm, I will return to the sect to visit the two of you.
Calculating the years, I’ve not seen you two for nearly a thousand years. I wonder if you two are safe in the sect. Back then, I only cared about my own breakthrough. I feel very guilty towards the two of you. However, I had no choice. I could not accompany you and your fellow disciples in the sect. I feel helpless. I’ll catch up with you when I return to the mountain. After breaking through, I’m very happy. I asked a good friend who’s a Perfected Immortal to bring a letter to the two of you. Regards, your Master.” Ling’e asked, “Is that Master’s master? So he’s the Grandmaster of Senior Brother and I?”
Jiu Jiu mumbled in puzzlement, “What’s this Aunt-Master’s name? I remember meeting her a few times when I first entered the sect...”
Youqin Xuanya said softly, “The Dao name of Uncle-Master Qi Yuan’s master is Unfettered Lin Jiang. She was trapped in the Perfected Immortal realm for more than three thousand years and could not break through. She decided to go out and train a thousand years ago. After that, she lost contact with the sect.”
Jiu Jiu blinked and smiled sneakily. “Little Xuanya, you’ve conducted a clear investigation.”
“T-this is not...”
Youqin Xuanya panicked for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, “Don’t think too much, Aunt-Master. I just want to know more about Senior Brother Changshou. That’s why I asked about this.”
Youqin Xuanya sounded confident, but Jiu Jiu somehow felt a little guilty...
Ling’e had already finished copying the letter and she sighed faintly. “This is going to be troublesome.”
“What’s the trouble?” Jiu Jiu said, “This is a good thing. Should we help build a new straw hut by the lake?”
Ling’e smiled bitterly.
She could not say that her senior brother had finally settled her master and could do whatever he wanted on Little Qiong Peak.
If a Heaven Immortal realm grandmaster returns, some of Senior Brother’s arrangements and trump cards might be exposed...
Suddenly, someone said, “It’s a joyous occasion for Grandmaster to return to the mountain. Junior Sister, don’t worry.”
The three female Qi Refinement cultivators turned to look at the forest path outside the door, but no one noticed that someone was approaching
Li Changshou walked over slowly. He was wearing an ordinary dark blue robe and a pair of gray-colored long boots. His long hair was tied into the most common hairstyle with a band amongst the disciples in the sect. He was half-smiling, giving off a very ordinary sense of intimacy.
Youqin Xuanya took two steps forward and shouted, “Senior Brother Changshou!”
“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and gave Ling’e a look that seemed to mean ‘Everything is at ease’.
Li Changshou went straight to the point and said, “According to the contents of the letter, Grandmaster does not know that Master and Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu are in trouble. I wonder what kind of temperament Grandmaster has. I have to report this to Master and the Hundred Mortal Hall.”
After Li Changshou said that, Jiu Jiu, Youqin Xuanya, and Ling’e reacted.
In the letter, the new Heaven Immortal stated that he was filled with guilt towards his two disciples.
If ‘Unfettered Lin Jiang’ returns and discovers that one of his two disciples had disappeared and the other had been crippled...
Jiu Jiu folded her arms and whispered, “I remember hearing from Fifth Senior Brother that my Master and Senior Brother Qi Yuan’s Master are quite close. Do you want me to ask Master to help so that the two sides won’t fight?”
Li Changshou shook his head and said, “If we can’t stop one side from fighting, this arrangement would be meaningless.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Jiu Jiu was confused.
Ling’e said, “Senior Brother, is the Heaven Immortal realm grandmaster... really alright?”
“Don’t worry.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Master has not been that depressed recently, but he has not completely gotten over it yet. When Grandmaster returns, Master will naturally be more energetic.”
Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, suddenly thought of something but hesitated to speak.
However, Li Changshou had already started making arrangements. Seeing that, Jiu Jiu swallowed her words.
Later, I should go and inform Master if he is not in seclusion.
Jiu Jiu muttered to herself.
In her impression, that Aunt-Master was very fierce. She seemed to be the kind who was ruthless and did not talk much...
Qi Yuan read the letter and was elated. Then, he looked up to the sky and sighed. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His wrinkled hands trembled as he read it repeatedly.
“It’s good that Master is still alive.”
Li Changshou did not have a good impression of that grandmaster who suddenly appeared.
He felt that it was somewhat irresponsible to leave his two disciples who had yet to become immortals in the sect.
However, Li Changshou could not say anything about it. He was just a junior. Furthermore, his own feelings and dislikes would not affect his judgment of the matter.
As long as his master did not blame that grandmaster, he would respect him.
Although Grandmaster’s return would make the originally simple and comfortable Little Qiong Peak slightly more complicated,
he is still a newly-advanced Heaven Immortal...
Li Changshou was confident that the other party would not be able to see through his flaws, and that he would be able to better conceal the abnormalities of Little Qiong Peak in the future.
Naturally, Li Changshou had also instructed his master, Qi Yuan, not to tell his Grandmaster about him.
After thinking about it, Qi Yuan agreed solemnly.
In the next few days, Li Changshou and Ling’e were also busy. Youqin Xuanya and Jiu Jiu were also helping out on the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou personally took action and built another straw hut beside his master’s straw hut.
After Jiu Wu heard about that, he went over with Jiu Shi... and joined in the discussion.
Qi Yuan had been waiting at the mountain gate early in the morning, looking forward to seeing his master day and night.
Li Changshou secretly adjusted some arrangements and checked the things that he had done inside Little Qiong Peak. He stopped refining the array foundation.
On the sixth day of the completion of the new straw hut, Jiu Jiu sat on the gourd and flew over from Heaven-Breaking Peak... “He’s coming, he’s coming! The two elders in the sect have already received your Grandmaster. Senior Brother Qi Yuan wants you guys to hurry to the sect!”
Lan Ling’e, who was decorating the straw hut, and Li Changshou, who was painting by the lake, agreed. Not long after, Li Changshou rode a cloud and led Lan Ling’e towards the sect.
Unfettered Lin Jiang returned from the trichiliocosm. If he were to come from the east, he would pass by the east of the East Ocean, a place known as the border of the world.
A few days ago, the Immortal Du Sect had sent two elders to the ends of the world to wait. They had currently received him.
The two elders didn’t just go over to welcome them. They were mainly responsible for checking his identity and asking Unfettered Lin Jiang about his actions outside the sect to determine if he had been possessed or harbored evil intentions.
It was not the first time that something like that happened in the sect...
Therefore, Qi Yuan, Li Changshou, Lan Ling’e, Jiu Jiu and Jiu Wu waited for another half a day at the gate before they saw a white cloud floating slowly from the southeast direction.
On the cloud, two elders with white hair stood in front of them. Behind them was a figure.
Li Changshou frowned slightly. His expression was a little strange, but he did not say anything...
Ling’e stood on her tiptoes curiously. However, her cultivation level was too low and her spiritual senses could not detect it.
After a while, Qi Yuan’s immortal senses captured the figures behind the two elders.
Qi Yuan was shocked. He quickly flew up to welcome them.
The two elders looked at each other and stepped aside to reveal the person behind them...
That...
“Is this Grandmaster?”
Ling’e tilted her head, her eyes filled with shock.
Behind the two elders was not an old man with white hair and a wrinkled face.
Instead, it was a girl wearing a battle armor skirt and carrying a bloodstained saber in the shape of a door. Her face was rather attractive...
Girl?
Li Changshou glanced at Jiu Wu. Jiu Wu blinked and said in an affirmative tone, “This is your Grandmaster, Unfettered Lin Jiang, Jiang Lin’er.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Actually, appearance didn’t matter.
What was important was that Li Changshou felt a murderous aura from that young girl who was thousands of years old.
She was extremely murderous and he reckoned that she probably had to struggle between life and death before she could break through her shackles. She was already the opposite of the Immortal Du Sect’s Inaction Sutra.
Li Changshou could tell at a glance that the long saber on the girl’s back was stained with the blood of many living beings. There was a faint scar on her fair neck that extended to her collarbone...
At that moment, the young grandmaster did not reveal any fierce expression. She only looked at Old Daoist Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with guilt.
When she saw the old-looking Qi Yuan, she could not help but laugh. She wanted to tease her second disciple...
However, her smile quickly disappeared and she frowned Qi Yuan knelt on the cloud and shouted, “Disciple Qi Yuan greets Master!”
The moment the young female grandmaster spoke, her voice was clear.
“Second Disciple, how did you... make a mistake during your tribulation? How did you become a Turbid Immortal? Where’s First Disciple? Why didn’t she come out to see
me?”
Qi Yuan opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
The hardships of eight to nine hundred years had turned into the misery of a Turbid Immortal, that was surging in Qi Yuan’s heart at that moment...
“Master, I’m useless. My Dao base had been destroyed. I can only rely on being a Turbid Immortal to survive!”
In an instant, the air outside the mountain gate seemed to have frozen.
A wisp of cold, murderous intent emanated from the young female grandmaster.
She had already grabbed the hilt of the knife behind her shoulder with her tiny, scarred hand. However, she slowly released it and placed her hands by her side.
“Second Disciple, who crippled you? Tell me.”
