Evan noticed the hint in Shirley's words, causing her cheeks to flush.
"If the young master is willing to give, this servant desires it all."
"You greedy little imp, I have other matters to attend to today. I'll punish you another time."
Despite his words, Evan quickly established a master-servant contract with Shirley.
Then, Evan transferred the first volume of the "True Demon Heart Sutra" from his memory into Li Huaizhen's mind.
This sutra has a total of nine volumes. If Li Huaizhen can master the first volume, his power would at least rival that of a True Immortal.
Of course, in this Cultivation World, without the support of Immortal Energy, mastering the first volume would be extremely difficult.
He could grant the second volume after Li Huaizhen ascends.
The next day.
Evan extended his Immortal Sense, covering over thirty thousand miles.
Islet Prefecture, Dragon Rain Spirit Mountain.
The Shining Moon Sect was situated at the peak of this mountain.
This grand mountain, where nine underground Spirit Veins converged, was the best cultivation spot in the entire Islet Prefecture.
Such a precious Spirit Mountain, without strong backing, even with a Land Immortal Ancestor, the Shining Moon Sect wouldn't be able to hold it.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Shining Moon Sect, several old monks were tearfully complaining, seeking justice from the sect.
"Honored monks, our sect is already aware of the situation."
Donald Yuan, the sect master of the Shining Moon Sect, lay leisurely on his chair with his eyes closed.
In truth, his heart was already in turmoil.
That little demon monk actually possessed an Immortal Artifact. How could he resist such a temptation?
As for that so-called mysterious expert, at most, he was just a Land Immortal.
With the Ancestor's background, he wouldn't fear him!
"Sect Master Yuan, this humble monk dares to request that you immediately set out to punish the traitor and help us reclaim our mountain gate," the old monk said anxiously.
Donald Yuan opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and said with a troubled expression, "Honored monks, this is an internal matter of your Brahma Sound Sect. If our Shining Moon Sect intervenes rashly, we might be scorned by cultivators worldwide. This is a difficult matter."
The monks knew Donald Yuan wanted to negotiate terms.
"Sect Master Yuan, as long as you help us capture the traitor, we will agree to any condition," the old monk vowed.
"Oh?" Donald Yuan's eyes lit up, "As the saying goes, without a proper name, words lack authority. If you monks announce to the world that the Brahma Sound Sect is now affiliated with our Shining Moon Sect, then your matters become our own, making it easier to handle."
The old monk's eyelid twitched. Donald Yuan, this greedy scoundrel, wanted to take the opportunity to annex the Brahma Sound Sect.
But there was no other way.
Who else but the Shining Moon Sect could contend with a Land Immortal?
Submitting to the Shining Moon Sect was better than having their mountain gate occupied by traitors.
"Then, as Sect Master Yuan says, from now on, we are one family. We hope the sect master will take good care of us."
The monks bowed deeply.
"Hahaha, good. Our sect will gather experts today and set out to punish the traitor tomorrow!"
…
Evan observed everything, seeing and hearing it all.
"Huaizhen, come with me to the Shining Moon Sect."
"Yes, young master."
Just as they were about to take off, Shirley came out of the room.
"Young master, I am your mount. How can you leave without riding me?" Shirley pouted.
"Not today. I have other tasks for you," Evan said.
"Please instruct me, young master." Shirley felt useful and her mood lifted.
"My Forbidden Palace lacks maids to serve tea. Go buy some sensible ones." Evan tossed a few wild fruits to Shirley to exchange for Spirit Stones.
"Oh, I should have thought of this myself. I'll handle it right away," Shirley stuck out her tongue, thinking herself foolish for needing the young master to remind her.
Immediately, Evan and Li Huaizhen took to the sky.
Since Li Huaizhen flew slowly, Evan leisurely enjoyed the scenery, taking half an hour to reach Dragon Rain Mountain, the Shining Moon Sect's base.
"Follow me."
Evan's Immortal Sense locked onto a Cave Mansion in the back mountain, protected by a restriction array.
Inside the Cave Mansion, a white-haired Immortal Elder was meditating, unaware that he had been locked onto by a wisp of Immortal Sense.
Evan descended.
The low-level restriction arrays were ineffective against him, an Upper Immortal. As he passed, the arrays self-destructed.
"Who dares to intrude upon my secluded cultivation!"
The white-haired Immortal Elder sensed the destruction of the arrays and quickly extended his Immortal Sense to search.
Finding nothing, he saw two young men approaching.
"This person's cultivation is unfathomable!"
The white-haired Immortal Elder ignored Li Huaizhen's cultivation but was extremely wary of the inscrutable Evan!
"Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner, esteemed friend," the white-haired Immortal Elder said respectfully.
"Not at all." Evan sat grandly on a stone, getting straight to the point, "I have established the True Immortal Sect on the former site of the Brahma Sound Sect. I heard your Shining Moon Sect has objections, so I came to discuss this matter."
The white-haired Immortal Elder's heart tightened, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I have been in seclusion for years. If such a thing has happened, it must be the doing of my unfilial disciples. I beg your forgiveness, esteemed friend. I will handle this matter properly," the white-haired Immortal Elder quickly distanced himself from the issue.
Evan nodded slightly, pointing to Li Huaizhen beside him, "Of course, I will give you face. This is my chief disciple and the sect master of the True Immortal Sect. In the future, let's look out for each other. But if anyone dares to bully my disciples, I have a bad temper and like to eliminate threats at the root. You should understand."
A blatant threat!
"Understood, understood." The white-haired Immortal Elder nodded repeatedly, then took out an elixir from his storage bag and handed it to Li Huaizhen, "A small gift for our first meeting. I hope you won't mind."
Li Huaizhen was bewildered from start to finish.
This ethereal white-haired elder must be the legendary Land Immortal Ancestor of the Shining Moon Sect.
Yet, in front of the young master, he was so submissive.
It was clear how profound the young master's cultivation must be!
"Senior, I dare not accept such a gift," Li Huaizhen said, trying to decline.
"Huaizhen, if you don't accept the gift, you'll embarrass the senior. Don't do this again," Evan said coldly.
Hearing this, Li Huaizhen quickly accepted the elixir with both hands, and the white-haired Immortal Elder sighed in relief.
"Our sect is newly established and has many matters to attend to. We won't disturb your cultivation any longer. Let's have tea together another day."
A true expert never lingers.
After speaking, Evan took Li Huaizhen and flew away, leaving the white-haired elder to ponder.
"Farewell, esteemed friend."
After Evan's figure disappeared, the elder finally reacted and bowed towards the sky.
"This person's cultivation far surpasses mine. He must have achieved immortality. Fortunately, he is gentle and did not make things difficult. I must quickly deal with those unfilial disciples and give him an explanation."
If Evan had heard the elder's murmur, he would have laughed out loud.
Gentle and refined, my foot. Indeed, strength is the ultimate truth.
