Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 581 - 493 Departure, Stand up for Old Liu_2

Who would dare to let the other party in?

But if they didn’t, the relationship between the Pure Moon Sect and the Nanyang Sect was still rather good, and this old master held such a high status; turning him away would seem excessively impolite.

In the end, Li Qingfeng decided to go out of the sect to speak with him.

But on counting all the members of the sect, it seemed there was no one qualified enough to hold a conversation with an elder.

"Senior Xuan Qing, perhaps..."

He found that since the last incident, although Senior Wooden Doll had become even more silent, there seemed to have been some subtle changes; at least he had not fallen into that state of dry sitting and deep contemplation ever again.

Instead, he quietly swept the floor inside the hall, lighted incense sticks, and occasionally wiped the statues of the ancestors.

He was every bit like a handyman.

"No need."

Li Xuanqing put down the broom in his hand and lightly nodded his chin, "Let him in, he won’t cause much of a stir."

"Eh?"

Li Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, wait a minute, did Senior Wooden Doll talk like this before?

Although the tone was still calm, why was there an inexplicable hint of madness within it?

What had stimulated this change?

However, the Sect Master had given the Dao Plate to Senior Xuan Qing, indicating that he had handed over the right to open the door to him.

"I will arrange for someone to prepare the tea," said Li Qingfeng as he turned and left the great hall.

As he spoke, several idle stewards had already risen and went out to greet the visitor, "Nanyang Sect welcomes the elder from Pure Moon Sect!"

"No need for such grandeur, the old man is just here to deliver a message, it just needs to be handed to Sect Master Shen personally."

The Chi Yang Elder had been waiting for quite some time, but he did not get angry.

He could understand the current embarrassment of the Nanyang Sect and what they were worried about.

But he still couldn’t help sighing in his heart.

Understanding is understanding, but troubles are indeed troubles.

Well, since he had already come.

Chi Yang Elder was certainly interested in the Nanyang Treasure Land, but he also knew that with his own power, he simply could not get involved in such events.

Rather than worrying, it was better not to think about it, which might actually make his thoughts clearer.

However, he was instead more interested in visiting the Nanyang Sect itself, for it was curious how a Qianyuan Land could nurture someone that even old Liu admired.

Nevertheless, this whimsical notion of a celestial touring the mortal realm quickly vanished.

Guided by several stewards of the Nanyang Sect.

Chi Yang Elder was soon brought into a hall where, across the square table, a wooden figure sat calmly with a teacup in hand, slightly lifting his eyes to sweep over the scene, his voice clear and cold, "You’ve arrived, take a seat."

Through this wooden figure, Chi Yang suddenly recalled many past events.

For instance, during his younger years, he accidentally saw a figure sweeping across the sky, with the female disciples of his sect stopping in their tracks to look up, their minds restless, while the male disciples were filled with awe, wishing they could one day achieve such stature.

Chi Yang was once an inconsequential disciple among them.

It was only after the figure changed to a different body and started to sit dryly outside the Nanyang Relief, that these memories were gradually tucked away.

"Junior Chi Yang pays respect to Senior Xuan Qing," said the Chi Yang Elder, bowing with clasped hands.

They could ignore the wooden man outside the Nanyang Relief because he didn’t care about these things at the time.

But the current Xuan Qing obviously had a change in mindset.

Even though the reason was unknown, proper etiquette could not be neglected.

"Hiss."

Li Qingfeng, who was waiting outside the hall with many stewards, couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

He knew this wooden figure held a high status, but he had never imagined that a person who once lay on the ground seeking death could make an elder from the White Jade Capital bow his head.

What surprised him even more was Xuan Qing’s reaction.

He still sat quietly, accepted the bow, and then relaxedly set down the teacup, "Let’s talk business."

"This..."

Chi Yang Elder hesitated, old Liu had instructed him to deliver the letter to Sect Master Shen’s hands, but he dared not offend Xuan Qing.

Who knew who actually held power within the Nanyang Sect?

"If it’s inconvenient to speak, just wait. The Sect Master is cultivating," Xuan Qing seemed to guess something and didn’t put Chi Yang on the spot.

"Uh, about how long will it take?" Chi Yang finally sat down.

"Not long," Xuan Qing said.

Although he was not clear what spell Shen Yi was cultivating in the Law Storage Pavilion, from his observations over these days, he noted that there was not yet a spell that could trouble the Sect Master.

"Alright," Chi Yang Elder said with a bitter smile, nodding in response to the ambiguous reply.

He could afford to wait, but he feared that the Nanyang Sect’s vassal forces could not.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Chi Yang looked back in surprise to see the figure in an Ink Robe slowly stepping into the great hall under everyone’s gaze.

This was his first time seeing the widely renowned Sect Master Shen in person.

But the reality was quite different from his expectations.

There was no towering presence, no lofty and domineering aura, only a young man with a handsome appearance and a somewhat restrained demeanor, not even wearing the Sect Master’s robe.

In the Pure Moon Sect, he could easily be mistaken for an Inner Sect Disciple.

"Sect Master," Xuan Qing stood up and moved aside.

He spoke in advance, obviously concerned about Shen Yi, fearing that in front of others, he might again call out that inexplicable title.

The gesture by Xuan Qing was already surprising enough for Chi Yang, but the mere nod of Shen Yi’s head and then taking a seat communicated that he was truly the one holding power in the Nanyang Sect, and such an effortless changing of positions made it clear it was not a performance for Chi Yang’s benefit.

Putting it bluntly, not many cultivators who had achieved Return to Void perfection could withstand the pressure in the presence of Xuan Qing.

"Chi Yang of the Pure Moon Sect pays respect to Sect Master Shen."
