The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 946: Dantai Mingjing Appears

Chapter 946: Dantai Mingjing Appears

The group bowed respectfully to Li Lingxi once again.

Zhou Daoqi then said, "I made a promise to the Sect Master earlier, and from now on, I will remain confined within the Divine Dan Sect, becoming the sharpest sword in the Sect Master's hand!"

His tone was incredibly serious as he spoke these words.

Without waiting for a response, he led the group back the way they had come.

At this moment, all of the elders felt a complex mix of emotions.

Initially, they had thought that today would mark the emergence of an elder council in the Divine Dan Sect that could rival Li Lingxi.

However, it now seemed that despite her unconventional ways, Li Lingxi was even more exceptional than they had imagined.

With this realization, these old veterans could simply focus on their own duties.

With Li Lingxi at the helm of the Divine Dan Sect, they could indeed rest easy.

To be honest, almost all of them were deeply immersed in the art of alchemy. When the sect was stable, who would want to tire themselves out with unnecessary worries? Wasn't it better to live quietly as semi-reclusive elders?

Earlier, they had to admit that their perceptions had indeed reached a dead end.

They had subconsciously refused to acknowledge the changes in the Divine Dan Sect after Li Lingxi's ascension.

The group couldn't help but smile bitterly at their own foolishness.

Soon, they returned through the vortex channel to the entrance of Li Lingxi's palace.

Just as they were about to leave, the elders froze in their tracks.

Standing in the plaza in front of the palace, with his back to them, was a weathered figure with a missing arm and a limp.

"Old Sect Master..."

Zhou Daoqi immediately recognized him and blurted out the name.

The figure turned around, and it was none other than Dantai Mingjing.

His face was lined with age, yet he wore a gentle smile.

"Everyone, it's been a long time," Dantai Mingjing said with a smile.

Although they knew that he had returned, only Cheng Xian had actually seen him.

Before his words had even finished, the elders of the Divine Dan Sect all knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Old Sect Master!"

Seeing Dantai Mingjing again, many of them were overcome with emotion, their eyes welling up with tears.

Within the Divine Dan Sect, while they may have doubted Li Lingxi's position as Sect Master and harbored some resentment, it was only moments ago that they had finally accepted her.

However, they had always held Dantai Mingjing in the deepest respect and admiration.

"Old Sect Master, are you back this time to lead the Divine Dan Sect to reclaim its former glory?"

At this moment, Song Kaishan asked directly.

His words sparked hope in the eyes of many elders.

If Dantai Mingjing was willing to return, they would undoubtedly follow him without hesitation.

Only Zhou Daoqi's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"Old Sect Master, if you have returned to restore the Divine Dan Sect, then... I might not be able to follow you."

As he said this, Zhou Daoqi's expression showed a hint of guilt.

Having just made a promise to Li Lingxi, he was not the kind of person who would go back on his word.

Most importantly, he had sworn a heavenly oath in front of Li Lingxi, pledging to become her sharpest sword.

After speaking, Zhou Daoqi stepped aside, almost too afraid to meet Dantai Mingjing's gaze.

The other elders felt regret for his actions, but they could understand.

When Dantai Mingjing looked at Zhou Daoqi, his eyes were filled with appreciation.

"I have never misjudged you.

Even if Li Lingxi hadn't succeeded in her path to become a Sect Master, I believe that entrusting the Divine Dan Sect to you would have been the right choice."

With that, Dantai Mingjing continued, "Since I have retired, I will not return.

Moreover, the development of the Divine Dan Sect under Lingxi's leadership has been evident to me. With her, I am at ease.

This time I have other matters to attend to.

But I must warn you that the Emperor's Realm has resurfaced, and the Divine Dan Sect's trials may have only just begun. You must all do your best to support that girl; she will lead the Divine Dan Sect to new heights."

Dantai Mingjing's words caused the faces of all the elders present to change once again.

They had not expected Dantai Mingjing to have such a high opinion of Li Lingxi.

The issue of the Emperor's Realm had been briefly mentioned by Li Lingxi earlier.

By bringing it up directly, Dantai Mingjing confirmed its validity.

It was easy to imagine that after the Emperor Realm destroyed the Divine Shepherd Realm, the entire landscape of the cultivation world would inevitably change.

This meant that the Divine Dan Sect might have a lot on its plate.

After all, being at the level of elders, they were well aware of the intricate connections between the Emperor Realm and the Divine Dan Sect.

Before Zhou Daoqi and the others could ask any more questions, Dantai Mingjing continued, "Alright, go about your business. I wasn't waiting for you here."

"Old Sect Master..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the elders changed once again.

They wanted to say something, but they were at a loss for words.

"Well, although I am no longer the Sect Master of the Divine Dan Sect, I have never denied being a part of it.

I may not have walked beside you, but I have always been here."

After saying this, he once again waved his hand at Zhou Daoqi and the others.

They bowed respectfully before returning to their respective duties.

Seeing Dantai Mingjing here was already a pleasant surprise.

Although they were curious about what Dantai Mingjing had experienced over the years, why he had become so weathered and lost an arm and a leg, and what he was doing here, they would obey his command and leave without question.

Watching the retreating figures of the elders, Dantai Mingjing nodded and smiled once more.

The void above the plaza twisted again.

Li Lingxi, accompanied by Su Jingzhen and Little Ling, appeared in the square.

The trio was momentarily stunned when they saw Dantai Mingjing.

Obviously, they hadn't expected him to be here.

"Grandpa!"

Su Jingzhen and Little Ling were overjoyed.

They rushed over to Dantai Mingjing.

Li Lingxi's expression was complex, but after a moment's thought, she followed them.

"Li Lingxi pays her respects to the Old Sect Master!"

Li Lingxi bowed respectfully to Dantai Mingjing. After all, he was her senior, and their relationship was that of a former and current Sect Master, with no animosity between them.

Dantai Mingjing nodded at Su Jingzhen and Little Ling.

Then his gaze fell on Li Lingxi, filled with appreciation.

"Young lady, you have done well.

It is a blessing for the sect that you have walked the path of the Sect Master and taken the helm of the Divine Dan Sect.

With this, I can finally put my mind at ease and do what I need to do."

Upon hearing this, Li Lingxi was stunned for a moment.

Then she humbly replied, "Lingxi merely did what was necessary. The old Sect Master is too kind."

Dantai Mingjing nodded and continued, "I don't need to worry about the future of the Divine Dan Sect; I believe you will handle it well.

With the uncertain state of the cultivation world, whether the Divine Dan Sect should wade into that murky water is something you must decide for yourselves.

This time, I have come mainly to take Little Ling to a place."

Dantai Mingjing got straight to the point, revealing his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't help but think of Little Ling's identity as the Emperor Realm's Saintess.

It seemed like some long-hidden truths were about to surface.
