Chapter 282 Shou… Shou’er
Daoist priest, which Daoist priest?
In front of the sect gate, a female demon in a long green dress stood quietly. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she exuded a gentle aura from inside out.
However, when she said that, not only were the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect confused, but the “demons with complicated backgrounds” behind her also listened carefully.
What happened?
Something is wrong! As one of the parties involved, Li Changshou’s thoughts raced through his mind. He immediately suspected that the female demon had been controlled.
Li Changshou naturally would not forget about the fox demon.
Back then, Daoist Kuai Si had schemed against his master and deliberately lured him to the mortal world’s city. When Li Changshou had gone to meet his master, he had captured the demon in the city.
After the matter, he realized that the fox demon had taken in the a.s.sa.s.sin, the centipede demon, whom Daoist Kuai Si had bribed. It could be considered a lucky strike.
Due to the merits the fox demon had, the Immortal Du Sect did not kill her. Instead, they suppressed her under the desolate mountain outside the sect.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced carefully.
When he pretended to be his master and captured the demoness with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, she was a manager of a brothel. She held a jade cigarette stick, had a tall figure, and enchanting curves. She was clearly the manager of a brothel who was extremely domineering.
After that, Li Changshou had interacted with the female demon a few times. She had also revealed her cunning and sinister nature as a demon.
When she was first captured, she even took the opportunity to use her Enchantment Spell to plot against Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Li Changshou had no choice but to offer the old version of ‘Aged Beauties’ to the sect. Why is it… like this today? Is it a pretense?
Do they want to blow things up? Li Changshou hid in the crowd and stared at the fox demon carefully. Soon, he realized that the other party was either really good at acting or because of some reason…
Maybe she had fallen in love with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu or Master, whom I was disguised as!
How is that possible?
There was a moment of silence in the sect. The people inside and outside the sect were in an awkward situation. Only the fox demon seemed to be eager and did not think that she was wrong.
“What happened?”
On the other side of the sect, Jiu s.h.i.+, who was ranked fourth among the Nine Jiu Immortals, suddenly spoke.
Immediately, numerous gazes gathered over. First, they landed on the dignified, elegant, and beautiful Jiu s.h.i.+. Then, they s.h.i.+fted their gazes down to the short Daoist who was five and a half feet tall…
The group of immortals from the Immortal Du Sect looked enlightened.
So that’s what happened…
There was killing intent! Jiu Wu shuddered subconsciously and slapped his thigh anxiously.
“That’s not it! That’s not it! I have nothing to do with this demoness. At that time, it was indeed me and Junior Brother Qi Yuan who captured her. It was because she had instigated the demons in the South Continent to commit evil. However, after I captured her, I suppressed her underground. I only went to check on her condition once or twice and did not say anything! The elders and the other elders from the Punishment Hall can vouch for me!”
Upon hearing Jiu Wu’s yelling, a few white-haired elders at the side looked up at the sky with their hands behind their backs, maintaining their composure. Jiu s.h.i.+ gritted her teeth. However, with so many people around, she also cared about her Dao companion’s face and endured her anger.
At that moment, the fox demon muttered again, “Qi Yuan… Can I meet this Daoist priest Qi Yuan again? I have something to say to him.”
Jiu Wu heaved a sigh of relief. He almost kowtowed to the vixen and thanked her for not killing him.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect, who wanted to watch the show, looked at each other.
If the fox demon had taken a liking to the executive of the sect, Jiu Wu, it would be fine. It could be explained.
Jiu Wu’s master was a Golden Immortal. It was almost certain that Jiu Wu would become a Heaven Immortal. He knew how to handle matters well and was good at socializing. Moreover, if one were to neglect his age, he would be a handsome young man. In terms of size, he could be considered unique. However, Qi Yuan was the only Turbid Immortal in the Immortal Du Sect… This is not Ren School. It is obviously not Ren School!
“Is Junior Brother Qi Yuan so charming?”
“Impressive, impressive.”
“Should I call Disciple-Nephew Qi Yuan over?”
Many immortals from the Immortal Du Sect spoke one after another. Most of them were curious.
Jiu Wu hurriedly looked at Li Changshou. The two of them winked at each other. Beep-beep “Changshou, what did you do!?!”
Ta-ta… “You mean, what did my master do…”
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! “Do you really think I’m that stupid? Wasn’t it you who pretended to be your master that day? You have to be careful. My tenth junior sister has been living at your Little Qiong Peak since she joined the sect!”
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. He could only give Jiu Wu a helpless look and ask him to calm down.
Now, he could only delay. No matter what the demoness’ goal was, he could not let things continue developing.
“Ahem!”
Li Changshou cleared his throat and flew slightly higher in the crowd. He smiled awkwardly at the sect gate and said,
“Senior… My master is in seclusion. Why don’t you return with your clansmen first and talk about this after my master comes out of seclusion?”
The demoness blinked and immediately revealed a loving and benevolent smile.
“Are you his disciple?”
An elder in the sect immediately introduced, “This is Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. He is Qi Yuan’s eldest disciple.”
The demoness took half a step forward and said happily, “Then, can I call you Shouler? The disciples your master accepts are all extraordinary.”
Li Changshou was speechless. He retracted his right hand into his sleeve and grabbed a carving knife!
Yes! Immediately!
How much karma would he have to bear if he killed those demons on the spot!?!
At that moment, one of the Heaven Immortal realm demons behind the demoness finally stood up and asked, “Little Lan, what’s wrong with you? What kind of curse did these people cast?”
“How dare you!”
An elder of the Immortal Du Sect, who had a bad temper, widened his eyes and scolded, “The Immortal Du Sect is a faction of Ren School. We pa.s.s down the Grand Pure One’s Dao. Why would we use such a trick?
If she did not have merit to protect her, she would have been indebted to the human race. How could I allow her to cause trouble in the mortal world!?!”
“What a joke.” A male demon said coldly, “You clearly saw my little sister’s merit protecting her body. Killing her will increase the negative karma! You actually said it in such a dignified manner! You human cultivators really dare to do anything for your pride!”
Dong!
Elder Wan Linyun slowly walked forward with his bronze walking stick. The two elders in front of him immediately made way for him.
The old man held onto his walking stick and took two steps out of thin air. He walked out of the sect and swept his listless eyes across the few people. “I’ll do it.”
In a split second, the demons looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. They hid the demoness named ‘Little Lan’ behind them and looked at Wan Linyun warily. The two demons with weaker cultivation levels were trembling!
On the wooden s.h.i.+p in the distance, figures soared into the sky. The pressure of a Golden Immortal realm demon swept across the sky and swept towards the Immortal Du Sect.
However, the pressure was a little mottled. Clearly, the Dao Realm was not pure enough. The pressure of the three Golden Immortal experts in the Immortal Du Sect erupted and pressed towards the demons.
A male demon shouted, “Quickly go and invite our old ancestor!”
The situation changed drastically. The immortals gathered at the gate of the Immortal Du Sect were about to attack!
They would strike first and gain the upper hand later!
Li Changshou frowned slightly. If they fought like that, it would be disadvantageous to the Immortal Du Sect…
He was about to send a voice transmission to Elder Wan Linyun to persuade him, but before he could say anything, the fox demon, Little Lan, who had just been released, suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, “No, don’t!”
Her shout was like the cry of a cuckoo. It made both parties, who had already taken their positions and were rubbing their palms together, stop their actions!
The fox girl sighed softly. Under the protection of her clansmen, her slender and beautiful legs bent. She knelt in the air and kowtowed to the ‘Immortal Du Sect.
“This matter started because of me. I secretly left the clan and was reluctant to leave the mortal world. I also allowed the few spirits that were attached to me to cause trouble. I was willing to be imprisoned by the Immortal Du Sect for another three hundred years. However, can you let me see him… I have already been bewitched by him. I no longer have any other wishes in my life. I just want to be together with him.
I’m willing to make a Great Dao oath to prove my love.”
Her words…
If the people of Chan School heard them, they would definitely shout, “Demon, die!”
If the disciples of Jie School heard it, she would probably be pulled into the group by a group of men and women.
However, today, her words were heard by the disciples of Ren School…
The disciples of Ren School were famous for having Dao companions!
The wretchedness and infatuation in the fox demon’s words moved half of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect.
Jiu Wu pondered for a while and stood up at the crucial moment.
“You’ve only met my Junior Brother Qi Yuan a few times. How could you have such an obsession? If you can’t explain it, I will not let you see my Junior Brother Qi Yuan today.”
That question hit the nail on the head. The demons quickly asked a few questions. At that moment, the vixen sighed softly and fell to the ground.
She muttered with listless eyes, “That day, I found an opportunity for this Daoist priest and Daoist Priest Qi Yuan to plot against me using my race’s bloodline mystical ability, Enchantment Spell. The Daoist priest who spoke was extremely ugly, but Daoist Priest Qi Yuan was unmoved. He only used a painting to break my Enchantment Spell…”
As the fox girl talked about the past, the surroundings were quiet. He could only hear her slowly recount her story.
Beside Jiu Wu, a slender hand reached over without batting an eyelid. It grabbed his ear and pulled hard.
“Ss…”
The short Daoist cried.
Jiu s.h.i.+ shouted, “Hmph! You’ve shown your ugly side! Go back and explain yourself to me!”
Jiu Wu felt awkward and cupped his hands to apologize.
Then, he heard the vixen changing her words…
“After locking me underground, I still have a grudge against Daoist Priest Qi Yuan. After some time, he suddenly appeared and asked me to swear that he would not take revenge on anyone in the Immortal Du Sect because of that matter. At that time, I naturally agreed but I was angry and used all my charm on him. However, I only received a slightly sarcastic smile. It was that smile that made me feel indignant. I would then cultivate my mystical abilities painstakingly. I must make this man kneel in front of me! That was what I thought back then.”
In the crowd, Li Changshou, who had already retreated to the corner, nodded secretly.
He was right.
A female immortal in the sect could not help but ask, “What happened after that?”
“After that…”
The vixen smiled bitterly and continued to explain. “Just as my mystical abilities improved, he quickly appeared in front of me again. In the dark underground prison, there were a few layers of restrictions between us. At that time, he smiled at me. I remember very clearly that his smile was relaxed and comfortable. He asked me if I could use my Enchantment Spell to test if his Dao heart was st.u.r.dy. I thought that it was ridiculous, but I took the opportunity to attack. I used all my strength to activate my mystical abilities to confuse him, but he… he!”
A demoness was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Could it be that he has gone berserk!?!”
The fox girl smiled in a daze. “He actually took a book slip outside the cage and kept writing and drawing. He even gave me some pointers on my Enchantment Spell. I still haven’t forgotten how he looked when he lowered his head and wrote… At that time, I thought, “How can there be such a man in the world who doesn’t have any l.u.s.t for me?”
In the corner, Li Changshou was speechless.
Yes, he really felt l.u.s.tful at that time. It was just that his series of ‘Hundred Beauties’ paintings was more powerful. What the vixen said were all the things that happened during the refinement of the Flame of Heart Pill.
Li Changshou had considered everything at that time. However, he really did not expect that the fox demon had made a mistake..
What should he do?
Kill her. I can only do that, right?
Back then, in order to study the Heart Flame Immortal Sense Poison Pill, he had used his master’s image to meet the demon fox under his master’s permission. He had gone there a few times in the past few months, but he had not discovered anything unusual about the demon fox…
“I’m really silly, I really am.” There were already stars in the fox demon Lan’er’s listless eyes… “Now, I only feel that the few times I met him were the best times of my life. However, at that time, I felt a little indignant. Every time, I would use all my strength to deal with him using the Enchantment Spell, but I never revealed my feelings to him. Since then, he has never come to see me again. Every time I close my eyes, I would see his back view when he left. Year after year, unknowingly, he has become the only one in my heart. There is no one else or anything else… Now, I’m out.”
The fox demon Lan’er slowly stood up and walked past her clansmen. Although her voice was gentle, her gaze was extremely firm.
“According to the rules of my clan, if I belong to someone, no one will stop me from leaving. Today, I’m standing in front of the Immortal Du Sect. I only hope to see him again. Even if he kills me with one strike, I will not have any resentment. I only hope that he will leave a wisp of my soul behind. I will go to the underworld and beg them to let me reincarnate into the woman whom Daoist Priest Qi Yuan likes.”
“Alright!”
An old woman from the demon race, who had rushed over at some point in time, shouted softly when she heard that. She could not help but wipe her tears. “According to the rules of the clan, the Qingqiu Fox Clan will fully support Little Lan in finding her marriage! Marriage is a priceless treasure. Why do you have to forcefully break a pair of lovers up?! Listen up, Immortal Du Sect. Little Lan’s grandmother’s third aunt is the Exalted Immortal who served the Saint in the palace. Our Little Lan’s background is not inferior to the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect. Does he agree or not? Let him appear first and give a straightforward answer!”
Hence, Li Changshou silently put away his carving knife.
Outside the sect, a group of demons and demonesses gathered. They stood behind the vixen Little Lan, and worked together to help!
The immortals of the Immortal Du Sect were stunned.
After living for so many years, it was the first time the immortals had dealt with such a situation…
Kill?
It seemed that she did not dare to make a move. The Qing Qiu Clan had a good reputation in the Primordial World. Moreover, the vixen was extremely infatuated. Her only request was to meet Qi Yuan.
Should I let them see me?
However, he felt that it was as if the Immortal Du Sect had succ.u.mbed to the demons. They were enemies with the demons to begin with. Although the Qing Qiu Clan had a complicated background and had merit to protect them, their foundation was definitely not that clean.
“Why? Do you, the Qing Qiu Clan, dare to s.n.a.t.c.h someone from my Immortal Du Sect?”
He heard another cold laugh. A figure flew over from the Immortal Du Sect and landed outside the sect.
She was dressed in a light blue dress, and her long hair flowed down her back. She was naturally Little Qiong Peak’s Grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er.
Jiang Lin’er used her immortal senses to listen for a long time. She could not help but jump out and walk to the vixen with her hands behind her back. In front of the many demons, she circled around the vixen twice…
“Tsk tsk, your figure is not bad… Wow, you’re quite evil, but you’re not as good as my Little Jiu. You’re called Little Lan? What’s your full name?”
The vixen frowned slightly and whispered, “You are…”
“Unfettered Lin Jiang, Jiang Lin’er!” Jiang Lin’er patted her chest and said, “My husband is a Golden Immortal of our sect. My grand-disciple is extraordinary, but that’s not important. Tsk, tsk. I’m the master of Daoist Priest Qi Yuan whom you’re looking for. When he was young, I fed him feces and urine. Ahem, I raised him. How about that?”
The vixen blinked and bowed. “Little Lan greets Master.”
“Don’t kneel so quickly.” Jiang Lin’er chuckled and scanned the crowd. She only saw the Dao hoop on Li Changshou’s head. “This matter must have been a misunderstanding. How about this? Come with me to the Little Qiong Peak. I’ll make things clear for you. How about that?”
“I will listen to you, Master!”
The vixen became excited and her voice became gentler.
