Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1283 - 766: Going Back to Nest in the Deep Mountains and Forests?

Chapter 1283: Chapter 766: Going Back to Nest in the Deep Mountains and Forests?

Qingguang Mountain, an old man in a pure white Daoist robe walked slowly.

Although he clearly did not use any escape skill, the restrictions of the entire Immortal Sect were like non-existent to him, and the disciples coming and going did not notice him at all.

It was not until the old man had already reached the entrance of the grand hall that Crane Child, who was standing at the door, suddenly came to his senses and quickly turned to look behind him.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Young Crane greets Spirit Void Immortal!"

"Hmm."

The old man uttered the single syllable with no emotion, his steps never halting as he walked straight into the hall.

Crane Child’s voice had already reached the inside of the hall, and the reactions of those inside varied.

Sitting in the main seat, Qing Guangzi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing You Yao’s questioning gaze, he slightly lifted the corners of his lips and shook his head gently, indicating there was no need to worry.

Although this Spirit Void junior brother of his was also a disciple of the Upper Pure Sect Leader, he had no other remarkable skills apart from this Hidden Breath and Concealed Qi divine skill.

His personality was also like this divine skill, which, put nicely, was quiet and reserved, but in reality, it was like pulling teeth to get him to say a word.

The one with the most volatile emotions in the hall was actually True Master Yun Miao, who had been sitting behind You Yao. Upon hearing the name of Spirit Void Immortal, his expression changed drastically. He immediately leaped from his chair and loudly said, "Disciple was unaware of Master’s return and failed to wait within the sect. I beg Master’s forgiveness!"

The next moment, the old man in the pure white Daoist robe silently stepped into the hall.

He silently looked in the direction of True Master Yun Miao, his eyes showing a hint of undisguised fatigue that deepened.

After returning to Lingxu Cave and not seeing his eldest disciple’s figure there, he knew those jokes spreading among the disciples were most likely true.

The dignified eldest disciple of Lingxu Cave had actually lowered himself to join under You Yao’s command, greatly increasing the prestige of this first disciple of Qingguang Cave.

Seeing it with his own eyes now, Spirit Void Immortal felt a sudden pang of sorrow.

He could accept his disciple’s mediocrity, as he himself was not among the top in the sect, but that acceptance came only after efforts and realizing it was unachievable, before stepping aside.

Not to mention that this one spreading wings to protect him was also a junior... how could the gap be so large.

Spirit Void Immortal ignored his eldest disciple and walked straight ahead.

"Uncle-Master Ling Xu, please."

True Master You Yao invited Spirit Void Immortal to the secondary seat, then quietly retreated to his original position.

"In recent years, your cultivation has greatly improved."

Spirit Void Immortal squeezed out a smile towards this girl. This catastrophe seemed to be meant for juniors like her. In just a few days, she already showed signs of catching up to their group of old men.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle-Master." You Yao cupped her hands in salute, without showing any sign of arrogance.

Seeing this, the smile on Spirit Void Immortal’s face carried some melancholy.

"The Great Dao is vast and everyone’s path is different, each with their own future. Junior Brother, don’t be too persistent."

Qing Guangzi lightly comforted, "Yun Miao has also helped You Yao a lot recently."

True Master Yun Miao, who had already sensed his master’s displeasure, was somewhat panicked. Finally hearing someone speak up for him, he hurriedly bowed gratefully and said, "Uncle-Master praises me too much."

However, as soon as he raised his head, Yun Miao noticed something wrong. His master’s face, which had barely held a forced smile, now showed an uncontrollable gloom.

Taste the words carefully and they seemed to imply that the path of Lingxu Cave was to serve Qingguang Cave, always remaining subservient...

"This is also as it should be. After all, You Yao is responsible for checking Bodhi Sect matters, and my disciple Ling Su is also involved. Yun Miao, as the senior brother, should contribute."

The fatigue on Spirit Void Immortal’s return was due to his investigation of those monks upon receiving the news.

Bringing this up now provided Yun Miao with a way out.

"No need for politeness, Junior Brother. Our two branches have always been friendly. As long as Yun Miao is diligent and hardworking, You Yao will not treat him badly."

Qing Guangzi leaned back lazily, while Spirit Void Immortal slightly clenched his fists, clearly trying to suppress his inner anger.

Such matters could indeed be a sore point for a lifetime.

In the hall, True Master Yun Miao was already trembling with fear. Even so, he still refused to stand up and distance himself from Qingguang Cave.

After going down the mountain, he had a deeper understanding of the current North Continent.

The situation was completely different from what he had imagined; not every cultivator who achieved the Ninety-nine Changes could get a sufficient Dao field.

North of Shen Zhou, aside from the deadlands caused by the great drought, there were a total of twenty-nine prefectures.

Disciples from various branches occupied six-tenths of them, while the remaining ten or so prefectures were firmly controlled by three people, with You Yao being one of them.

Several senior disciples of the same boundary as himself could only occupy one mansion, and he, Yun Miao, had suffered a big loss by going down the mountain too late.

Even though the issue with Bodhi Sect had freed up many Dao fields recently, they were quickly taken over by fellow disciples. Those with lower cultivation were all closely united, one branch supporting another.

If he were to charge in blindly like a headless fly without understanding the situation, it would easily provoke a collective attack.

In other words, the things You Yao had promised were possibly already the best outcomes he could fight for after putting his life on the line.
