Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1284: Revised - 766 Returning to the Deep Mountain Old Forest Den?_2

Chapter 1284: Revised: Chapter 766 Returning to the Deep Mountain Old Forest Den?_2

True Master Yun Miao was truly reluctant to let go.

Fortunately, Senior Uncle Qing Guang didn’t dwell on the matter and changed the topic: "Junior Brother, have you heard about the recent rumors within the sect about the head of the Golden Immortals?"

"You must be joking, Senior Brother. Such matters are beyond my wildest dreams."

Ling Xuzi forced a faint smile. Despite his words, his eyes flickered with uncertainty as he stared into the void.

Indeed, if the Sect Hierarch were to choose twelve Golden Immortals to oversee the affairs of the Four Continents, there was no way it would be his turn.

But the situation was clear now; even among the Golden Immortals who transcend both realms, there still needed to be a ranking, and this ranking influenced how much incense each sect could receive after the disaster.

Given the current state of Lingxu Cave, it was likely to be on the fringes of the fringes.

Ling Xuzi didn’t aspire to rise above others, but how could he be content to fall to such an extent?

"I have some matters to instruct the disciples, so I’ll take my leave now."

He slowly stood up, bowed to his Senior Brother, and walked out of the hall with a serene expression.

True Master Yun Miao quickly bowed towards the high seat and hurriedly followed his master.

Qing Guangzi watched the master and disciple duo walk away, calmly lowering his hands, and then turned to You Yao: "What were you about to say just now?"

"Nothing."

True Master You Yao gently shook her head. After Ling Xuzi’s interruption, she decided to hide the matter about Shu Yu.

After all, her Junior Brother’s actions completely disregarded their master’s reputation. He deserved a measure of suffering for his recklessness.

Besides, she had no concrete evidence, only suspicions. Moreover, there were already monks causing trouble in the North Continent. Revealing it would make her seem incompetent, as if she couldn’t handle the Bodhi Sect and had to place the blame on a lowly cultivator. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

It was better to solve the matter, present the head of the culprit, and then explain to her master.

...

The two of them silently returned to Lingxu Cave.

They arrived at Half-falling Cliff.

Ling Xuzi stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. Before he could turn around, True Master Yun Miao had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Master, please calm your anger. This disciple has truly been left with no options!"

"..."

Ling Xuzi’s face was cold and hard. Without looking at him, he said flatly, "Explain how you had no options."

He wanted to know what could have forced a Third Grade Perfected Great Cultivator in the North Continent to shamelessly seek refuge under a peer’s command.

"It all started with Qingguang Cave."

True Master Yun Miao kept kowtowing as he quickly shifted all the blame: "It was Qingguang Cave that wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Southern Continent. The Insect Demon disciple managed to escape here, and Senior Uncle Qing Guang didn’t want to take responsibility, so he sent Crane Child to our Lingxu Cave... You weren’t at the mountain gate, and how could I dare to offend Senior Uncle Qing Guang?"

"I had no choice but to keep the Insect Demon disciple here. However, this person was very ambitious and was not satisfied with just one cave. After discussing with my junior sister, we had to give him part of Heavenly Tower Mountain."

"Yet he was never satisfied, and openly and secretly tried to push my junior sister out. This led to her going out to ease her mind and falling into the hands of the Bodhi Sect."

"As the senior brother, Yun Miao was eager for revenge. But I truly couldn’t do it alone. To seek justice for my junior sister, I had to go to Qingguang Cave for help. I beg you to understand, Master!"

By now, Yun Miao’s eyes were slightly red. Qingguang Cave on one side and the Bodhi Sect on the other made it seem as if he was truly caught in the middle, struggling all alone.

"Hmph."

Ling Xuzi finally turned slowly, looking down at his disciple.

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

If Yun Miao hadn’t been raised by him, knowing his character so well, he would have believed this story.

"Rest assured, Master. As I’ve already entered the world, I won’t allow anyone to look down on Lingxu Cave."

Seeing his master’s attitude softening, Yun Miao immediately lifted his head and declared, "My affairs are secondary. My primary concern is our junior sister’s great revenge. Although the monks have been elusive, the Insect Demon disciple in the Southern Continent drove our junior sister away. Upon hearing of her death, he couldn’t wait to set up an Immortal Temple."

"How can junior sister’s Heavenly Tower Mountain fall into the hands of such a despicable person? With such ambition, he still dreams of joining Master’s seat. I’ve already agreed with Senior Sister You Yao to act in a few days and completely drive this scoundrel out!"

Looking at Yun Miao’s indignant and determined face,

Ling Xuzi felt a deep sense of disappointment. If things were truly as Yun Miao said, that a cultivator from the Southern Continent forced Ling Su to her death, and Yun Miao, as the senior brother, needed help dealing with a cultivator far below his Boundary.

Such character was hard to detect in normal times, appearing well-behaved and sensible. But when faced with such a crisis, his true colors showed, proving him unreliable.

"Do as you please. Whatever you want to do, go ahead."

Ling Xuzi waved his sleeve and turned away, continuing to gaze at the clouds and mist.

"Thank you, Master, for understanding."

Upon seeing this, Yun Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his master was disappointed, but at least he passed this ordeal. There would be time to make up for it later.

After all, seeking justice for his junior sister was always right.

With this in mind, the loathsome figure flashed in his mind, an Insect Demon disciple, arrogant and disrespectful... He might be lying about cooperating with You Yao, but dealing with Kaiyuan Prefecture was real.

In the hands of such a famous Heavenly Pride of the North Continent, that Taixu Pill Emperor would be just like his master, a dead bug who wouldn’t last long.
