My Senior Brother is Too Steady

On the cloud, Xuandu explained briefly, “There is indeed someone behind this. When I discovered this wisp of Dao runes just now, I chased after it. However, with the help of a Saint, I can only rely on the power of the Taiji painting to scare him…”

The old Daoist priest beside him frowned and sighed.

Compared to Xuandu, he was dressed casually and had a mild temperament.

The old Daoist priest was very particular about his Daoist robe, Daoist hoop, Daoist boots, and the horsetail whisk in his hand. On the contrary, he had the demeanor of an otherworldly expert.

However, the old Daoist priest was extremely polite to Xuandu. When he spoke, he smiled and leaned forward slightly.

The old Daoist priest asked again, “Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think we should do next?”

“Dao Brother, let’s go to the Immortal Du Sect to deal with the trouble first!”

Xuandu smiled and said, “If you go any later, they might have already dealt with their enemies. There won’t be anything much for you, the founder, to do. Once you settle the matters regarding the Immortal Du Sect, remember to bring the corpses of the Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island back to this place. We have to make a trip to Golden Ao Island later.”

Corpses…

The old Daoist priest sighed. He understood and looked ashamed as he said, “I have to trouble you to go to great lengths this time, Eldest Senior Brother. I was too careless.”

Xuandu waved his hand and urged.

“Hey, it’s a small matter, it’s a small matter. Fellow Daoist, hurry up and go! Since we’re in this sect, we have gained karma. We should be more careful in the future.”

“I will follow your instructions, Eldest Senior Brother.”

The old Daoist priest, Perfected Du’e from the Kunlun Mountain, bowed to Xuandu.

He did not dare to delay any further. He immediately activated his Universe Spell and disappeared.

After traveling for less than 5,000 kilometers on the cloud that rose and fell, Perfected Du’e arrived above the Immortal Du Sect.

He lowered his head and looked down. He saw streams of light flowing around the main peak below. Rays of sanguine light were everywhere.

The Perfected One was instantly enraged!

The Qilin Beast that he had saved in the ancient times and placed in that place was almost suffering from a recurrence of its old injury.

One of the in-name disciples of Perfected Du’e finally became a cultivator in the Golden Immortal realm. Du’e was finally able to show off to the other cultivators of the Kunlun Mountain. Yet, the favored disciple of his was actually surrounded by two people and had gotten injured!

Perfected Du’e flung his horsetail whisk and exerted pressure on the Immortal Du Sect.

He then took a deep breath and activated the “Double Qi” technique. The tip of his nose trembled as he let out a muffled snort!

Below him, the three phony Golden Immortals all spat out blood after hearing the humph. Their Essence Souls were almost shattered…

The primordial Golden Immortal had extraordinary abilities!

Li Changshou’s eyes suddenly lit up when he was secretly observing the situation in the Immortal Du Sect with the help of the paper effigy while cleaning up the battle 5,000 kilometers away.

My powerful supporter is here!

He suddenly got an urge and closed the array formation in the inner layer of Little Qiong Peak. The array formation outside the Pill Chamber was activated.

The ‘Heaven’ Paper Effigies No. 2 and No. 8 quickly transformed back into paper form in the mountain gate. The immortal power on them turned into spiritual energy and dissipated.

After doing that, Li Changshou immediately calmed his mind, as if nothing had happened.

At the bottom of the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, where the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect were hiding…

The five people who had been charmed had already fallen to the ground on the slope beside the valley.

The bewitched demonic roc lay on the ground and snored loudly. Everything seemed to have frozen at the instant that Youqin Xuanya threw out the poisonous pill.

Youqin Xuanya was lying on the ground, surrounded by flying swords. Ling’e was lying beside Youqin Xuanya, as if she had had a terrible fall…

She faceplanted into the grass.

It could not be helped. Li Changshou had perfectly restored the “crime scene”.

The unconscious “Li Changshou” who was lying at Ling’e’s feet slowly sank into the ground and turned into a paper doll.

Without a sound, the jade hairpin on Ling’e’s head gently shattered. Li Changshou’s figure appeared beside Ling’e. He quickly put away the paper effigy that was in the soil and laid down again. He closed his eyes and pretended to faint.

He was trying to recall if he had missed anything in the process.

If he predicted correctly, a bunch of unsolved mysteries would appear in the Immortal Du Sect.

During the battle at the Immortal Du Sect, there were a few “heroes” who had sacrificed themselves and protected the human Daoists…

During the battle between the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect and an old Daoist priest who was a Heaven Immortal, another old Daoist priest who was “passing by” killed that old Daoist priest, and left calmly.

The only hidden danger was that Elder Wan Linyun might have guessed something.

Another danger would be the fact that Youqin Xuanya knew too much.

Later on, I will have to talk to Elder Wan Linyun about life and philosophy.

Li Changshou was actually in a very good mood.

It was not because he had killed that old Heaven Immortal and obtained a sword that was at the level of a Postnatal numinous treasure, as well as the precious Poison-Repelling Pearl.

It was not because he had supported the Immortal Du Sect, which had almost collapsed. He was only doing his best. It was because he found out that the Immortal Du Sect really had a founder who was alive.

Wasn’t that thunderous groan the mystical ability that the Heng-Ha Generals used during the God-Conferment Tribulation?

Perfected Du’e seems to be General Heng’s master or something.

After the major calamity, the Immortal Du Sect was proven to be a faction of the Ren School. No matter how incompetent the disciples may be or how weak their Dao may be in the future, they would still be true disciples of Ren School.

They suddenly had a stronger base.

Unfortunately, we did not manage to summon the legendary Great Daoist Master Xuandu this time. If Xuandu, the head disciple of the Ren School appeared personally, the effect would definitely be better.

Perhaps the Immortal Du Sect could move from the East Continent to the Middle Continent…

However, I might have been targeted by Daoist Wen this time.

For some reason, the joy in Li Changshou’s heart dissipated, and he felt a strong sense of danger.

How could he avoid being targeted by the Western Sect?

At the thought of that, Li Changshou could not help but recall the village on the coast of the South Ocean, which made his heart race.

Lately, I’ve been busy dealing with the enemy and did not check the situation in the South Ocean.

Li Changshou, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, felt his face twitch.

At this moment, his merit from incense offerings was actually… doubled from the amount he had two years ago!

What the hell?

Is the Xiong Village trying to gain wealth by promoting the South Ocean Sect?

Li Changshou secretly sensed it and he almost fainted.

1,621 statues…

More than statues of him were rising…

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that a large-scale fight had begun because the South Ocean Sect had a conflict with the smaller Merit-Convergence Sect.

What kind of rhythm is this…

Li Changshou’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say. He could only lie there and pretend to be dead.

Come to think of it, if his disciples were to engage in a fierce battle, would they cause a deficit in his karma or luck?

Uh…

Sect? Bullshit!

From now on, I don’t know anything about the Sea God of the South Ocean!

I should probably think of a way to get plastic surgery. After returning to the mountain, I should get a few of the witches’ curses tattooed on my body.

Although I can be considered to have cozied up to Perfected Du’e, I still don’t have that much support yet.

At this moment, I can only hope for Master to enter the Perfected Immortal Realm earlier and work in the Heavenly Courts. Then, I can trick him into going to the Tushita Palace to visit the Grand Supreme Elder and gain more backing

Daoist Wen.

South Ocean Sect.

Li Changshou laid on the ground, feeling a little helpless and speechless. The exhaustion that he had felt from controlling the paper effigy slowly overwhelmed him, but he got rid of it quietly again.

It’s not the time to rest now.

At this moment, I have the highest tendency of letting my guard down and becoming careless. I’m also the most prone to getting caught off-guard.

Li Changshou observed his surroundings quietly. After waiting for an hour, a figure flew out from the cave and hurried over.

He had been secretly observing the disciples. The three elders who were in charge of the external affairs of Hundred Mortal Hall rushed to the demonic roc’s side and killed it while it was unconscious.

A group of disciples surrounded them. The Essence Immortal from Pill Tripod Peak gave a detailed diagnosis for the five of them. He only said that they had passed out because they had been drugged, and that they were fine.

The broken porcelain bottle and the remnants of the shattered pills were quickly discovered by them.

There was no need for the five of them to speak up after they regained consciousness. Everyone had already guessed what had happened there… An elder picked up Li Changshou, Lan Ling’e, and Youqin Xuanya using his immortal power. They were carefully placed in a desolate mountain forest to rest.

Before that group of disciples rushed out of the cave, there was already news from the sect.

The founder, Perfected Du’e, had appeared and killed three Golden Immortals. The Sect Leader and Elder Qi Ling immediately dealt with their enemies.

The Immortal Du Sect had engaged in a bloody battle. The sect was intact and unscathed but the elders of the various peaks were injured…

To most of them, the calamity struck without reason and ended quickly.

To a certain pretty boy who knew the entire plot… the matter was very complicated and emotionally-exhausting.

A few hours later, Exalted Wang Qing, Elder Wan Linyun, and more than a hundred Perfected Immortals from the sect rushed over.

Li Changshou, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The person exclaimed, “Little Changshou! Little Ling’e! Don’t scare me. Why are you guys lying down!?!”

On the cloud, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, who was sitting on the huge wine gourd, jumped down and rushed to the side of the forest in a hurry. The elders of Hundred Mortal Hall who were at the side quickly explained that they were only knocked out by the incapacitating agents and that they were not in any trouble.

Jiu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and sat beside Ling’e. Her short linen shirt swayed slightly.

At that moment, she did not have much immortal power left. There were wounds on her left shoulder and waist. Even her essence soul was a little weak.

She had also given her all during the battle to protect the Immortal Sect. After the battle, she did not have time to rest and immediately rushed there to look for the disciples whom she cared about.

Soon, Jiang Jingshan, Jiu Wu, and Jiu Shi rushed over too.

They carried the unconscious Li Changshou and the other two using their immortal powers and brought them back to the sect.

The two elders who were Perfected Immortals woke up after being unconscious for an entire day.

Youqin Xuanya slept for seven whole days before she woke up.

In order to make his actions seem more reasonable, Li Changshou forced himself to lie on the bed with his eyes closed. He remained motionless for seven and a half days before slowly opening his eyes. His eyes were filled with confusion…

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted with a bed that he was unfamiliar with.

Li Changshou naturally knew that he and his junior sister had been brought to the Heaven-Breaking Peak and that he was currently lying on Jiu Jiu’s bed.

Ling’e was arranged to stay in Jiu Shi’s attic. She had been sleeping soundly without anyone disturbing her.

In the past seven days, Jiu Jiu was often encouraged by Jiu Shi to constantly poke and touch Li Changshou.

However, Li Changshou did not bother about it because they’d never touched him in inappropriate places.

He turned around to see Jiu Jiu sitting on the ground and leaning against the bed. There were two empty bottles beside her, and she was snoring softly. Who takes care of a patient like the way you do?

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He slowly sat up and looked around. He would probably remember for life, the first time he was carried to that pavilion by his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, and the first time he captured everything in there with his immortal senses.

It was beyond chaotic…

Just as he was about to stand up, a silver-white arrow flew in from outside the window. Li Changshou immediately raised his hand and stopped the messenger arrow from reaching the window.

An unfamiliar voice sounded.

“Li Changshou, disciple of the Little Qiong Peak!”

Li Changshou stood up and cupped his hands. “I’m here.”

“Come to the Immortal Ascension Hall quickly. The Sect Leader has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Li Changshou frowned subconsciously and said softly, “Roger.”

Sect Leader?

Could it be that the Sect Leader had seen through the good deeds that I’ve done and the facade that I put up previously?

It doesn’t make sense. After I returned, I had been keeping an eye on Elder Wan Linyun using my immortal senses. I had also noticed the people in the sect burning incense and making offerings to the nameless heroes…

All the signs show that no one would suspect me.

No matter what, I cannot avoid the Sect Leader’s summon.

Li Changshou stood up and tidied his Daoist robe. He lowered his head and placed two bottles of “pleasant-tasting” Spirit Pills beside his Little Aunt-Master’s hand. Then, he looked at Ling’e, who was sleeping soundly and hurried to the Immortal Du Hall.

As soon as Li Changshou left for the Immortal Du Hall, the bag hanging on Ling’e’s waist started to twist.

However, Lan Ling’e’s cultivation level was too low, and she was still in a deep sleep. She did not sense anything strange about the beast-hide bag at all…
