Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1292 - 770: Becoming a Disciple of Lingxu Cave

Northern Continent, Lingxu Cave.

On Half-falling Cliff, True Master Yun Miao paced back and forth, restlessly, wishing he could slap himself hard.

Like the rest of the cultivators in the Northern Continent, he had been keeping an eye on the developments in Kaiyuan Prefecture. Initially, he was contemplating whether he should swallow his pride and ask Senior Sister You Yao for this piece of land.

But by dawn, the news struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving True Master Yun Miao rooted to the spot.

One must understand, he had personally witnessed the formidable display sent out by You Yao. Even if it was that Insect Demon disciple sitting in Kaiyuan Prefecture, it wouldn’t be easy for him to handle, let alone himself.

Yet, the serenity of Kaiyuan Prefecture was undeniably genuine.

"How is this possible..."

True Master Yun Miao turned around, his whole body freezing as he saw the newly appeared figure before him: "Master!"

The reason for his frustration was precisely the words he had told his master earlier, placing all the blame for Ling Su’s harm on that Southern Continent cultivator. Now it seemed, he was digging his own grave.

He couldn’t just change his stance from righteously seeking justice for his junior sister to backing off the moment things seemed off.

If he did, he could forget about redeeming himself in his master’s eyes for the rest of his life.

At this moment, True Master Yun Miao felt parched under the calm and steady gaze of Ling Xuzi, and biting the bullet, he said, "Master, that brat is indeed a treacherous one. He intended to join our lineage, not only disguising his appearance but also revealing only the aura of just stepping into the Third Grade, deceiving us all!"

"It appears now that there’s something fishy about the death of Junior Sister."

"But rest assured, Master, I will not let this murderer go unpunished. I will ensure he is severely punished!"

"..."

Listening to his disciple’s hollow words, Ling Xuzi turned aside, a faint sneer playing at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, how exactly do you plan to punish him? I’m all ears."

"I—"

Yun Miao raised his head, and his righteous air a moment ago froze into an awkward expression.

If he wanted to satisfy his master, he should immediately head down the mountain and capture that Insect Demon disciple.

But after last night’s events, with the situation still unclear and unable to fathom that brat’s background, it was truly reckless.

He licked his dry lips, struggling to utter a single word for quite some time.

It was a long while before he stammered, "I will take my time to prepare. Anyway, I won’t let that Insect Demon disciple have it easy."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi finally turned completely away, his face full of disappointment.

With such a good disciple, it’s no wonder the Lingxu branch would fall into decline. Whether during the tribulation or after, Lingxu Cave would likely face nothing. Even for himself, he should forget about raising his head before the Sect Hierarch.

Thinking of this, the elder with hair and beard as white as snow let out a long sigh, not reprimanding Yun Miao further. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, one’s temperament is long established, so he merely said indifferently, "If I hear you call him the Insect Demon disciple again, you can go down the mountain on your own."

With that, Ling Xuzi lightly flicked his robe sleeve, and his figure vanished from the spot.

"..."

True Master Yun Miao, already perceptive, could see his master’s attitude. He opened and closed his mouth, then suddenly stomped his foot hard: "Ugh!"

The originally favorable situation had changed since that doggone Tai Xu True Monarch fled here.

From his junior sister to his master, they all began to look down on him.

"Why didn’t you die at the hands of those monks!"

Yun Miao spat in frustration, suddenly remembering his master’s parting words, suddenly wearing a peculiar expression.

His eyelids twitched violently, and he murmured to himself, "No way."

...

Kaiyuan Prefecture, Heavenly Tower Mountain.

When You Yao returned to this place, though her expression remained unchanged, her whole demeanor was entirely different from the last time.

Under normal circumstances, when fellow disciples from the same sect compete for a place, a single fight would suffice.

The victor would send disciples to take over the site, and the loser would seldom set foot here again unless they didn’t mind further disgrace.

Even though Shen Yi wasn’t considered a fellow disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, this logic still applied.

If one’s skills are not up to par, what’s left to say?

Yet You Yao not only returned but also strained to maintain her proud posture.

However, when she saw the leisurely seated figure by the cliff, she couldn’t help but twitch her tightly held skin.

You Yao stared intently at Shen Yi’s side profile, her gaze falling on where his blood was cut by her Clear Light last time, but the faint scar had long healed.

She thought she had seen through everything, revealing his true cultivation in desperation under the Clear Light Sword Formation, but she hadn’t anticipated that even the blood scar was deliberately shown to her by this guy.

You Yao could fully imagine how smug the Tai Xu True Monarch must have felt in his heart when she left confidently believing she had everything under control.

Every time she thought of it, her delicate body under the black skirt couldn’t help but shudder angrily.

Indeed, You Yao refused to admit defeat precisely because of the underhanded methods of this Southern Continent cultivator.

A strong contender capable of matching others in skill, yet he wouldn’t stand openly and clash with others, but rather lurk like a disgusting poisonous snake, sneakily waiting to strike.

Such despicable tricks don’t fit respectable circles.

Let alone becoming the Immortal Emperor ruling heaven and earth, which well-known Great Immortal has earned his status through such means?

With just one shot, others can react.

But the misfortune was that... it was just one time, yet it happened to fall on her.
