After annihilating the Flying Immortal Sect and the Old Monk, Evan Chen's time in the Lower Realm had come to an end.
He only instructed Li Huaizhen to handle the aftermath, while he himself returned to the Immortal World…
…
Not long after Evan Chen left, a grand procession from the Shining Moon Sect arrived at the True Immortal Sect's residence.
"Matthew Wei, the Supreme Elder of the Shining Moon Sect, is here by order to seek an audience with Ancestor Chen."
The leader of the Shining Moon Sect respectfully bowed towards the mountain gate of the True Immortal Sect.
Before they received a response, another procession flew in from the horizon.
"Christopher Zhoui, the Great Elder of the Taihao Immortal Clan, is here by order to congratulate the establishment of the True Immortal Sect, and has brought a modest gift. We hope you will accept it with a smile."
As his words fell, over a dozen giant demonic beasts pulled a chariot, rolling to a stop in front of the mountain gate.
"Hey, isn't that Sect Leader Yu? Why are you lying here covered in blood?"
As soon as the two sects' people landed, they noticed Yu Dazhi lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Fellow Daoists, I was momentarily greedy and made a grave mistake. Please, I beg you to plead with the True Immortal to spare my life!"
Seeing Yu Dazhi in such a state, the elders of the two sects cursed him inwardly as a fool.
This idiot must have come looking for trouble and was crippled by someone from the True Immortal Sect. Serves him right.
Plead for such a person?
Impossible! They might even lose their own lives. Thus, the elders of the two sects ignored Yu Dazhi's pleas.
Immediately, Matthew Wei and Christopher Zhoui bowed again, sincerely requesting an audience.
After several requests, Li Huaizhen flew out from the sect gate.
Seeing Li Huaizhen covered in demonic energy, the elders of both sects couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
This person's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Is this Sect Leader Li? I have seen Sect Leader Li before," Christopher Zhoui was the first to salute.
"Are you here to congratulate or to cause trouble?" Li Huaizhen asked coldly.
The elders of the two sects glanced at Yu Dazhi, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and felt a chill in their hearts. They quickly said, "How dare we cause trouble? We are sincerely here to congratulate, unlike some petty people who cause trouble under the guise of upholding justice. I suggest such scum be executed immediately."
"Poof."
Yu Dazhi spat out a mouthful of old blood in his anxiety.
"Longchu, you bastard, you ruined our sect. Where's the reverse beacon you promised!"
At this moment, Yu Dazhi felt as if a thousand knives were carving his heart.
"Where is your young master? I would like to see what kind of extraordinary person he is," Scarlett Yao had dressed up deliberately today, looking even more beautiful and enchanting than usual.
"Scarlett, you look stunning today," Stella Lian flew to Scarlett's side as soon as she saw her.
The disciples on both sides couldn't help but be stunned.
This woman was gentle and graceful, without any makeup, yet she bloomed like an ethereal flower, making people feel refreshed and captivated. She was no less beautiful than the universally adored Scarlett Yao.
"Stella, you surpass your sister," Scarlett Yao smiled gently. The two sisters had grown up depending on each other in the same village, and their bond was deep. Scarlett had no jealousy towards Stella.
"Hehe, not at all."
Stella, slightly shy, lowered her head and said, "Scarlett, I dare not hide it from you. Our sect leader has also betrothed me to Ancestor Chen of the True Immortal Sect. Please don't be angry."
Scarlett Yao was momentarily stunned, her face darkening a bit.
Seeing this, Stella became a bit flustered and said, "If you don't like it, sister, I will refuse."
"Silly girl, how could I blame you? I'm just worried that he might be ugly and of poor character, and that he might harm you," Scarlett Yao said.
"You haven't even met our young master, how can you make such baseless assumptions!"
At this moment, Shirley and several maids flew down.
Hearing Scarlett Yao's baseless doubts about her young master, Shirley was naturally displeased.
All eyes were on Shirley and the maids.
"Heavens, have I entered a fairyland? How can they all be so stunningly beautiful?"
At the sight of Shirley, everyone was once again struck by her breathtaking beauty.
Compared to Scarlett Yao and Stella Lian, this girl had a more voluptuous figure and exuded a slight seductive aura, naturally stirring the imagination.
She was truly a peerless beauty.
Even the plain-clothed girls behind her were no less beautiful than the two sisters.
After a moment of stunned silence, Scarlett Yao snapped out of her surprise and asked, "Who are you, young lady?"
Shirley replied indifferently, "You should be able to tell that I am a demonic cultivator. The young master took me in as his mount and I serve him as a maid."
A maid with such world-shaking beauty—this guy was truly blessed.
At this moment, Scarlett Yao's pride was mostly erased by Shirley's stunning beauty.
"To be honest, I am here by my master's order to marry your young master. Why hasn't he come out to greet me?" Scarlett Yao asked.
Though she said it was a marriage, in reality, Yuan Qingshan had given her to Evan Chen. She just hadn't realized it and thought it was a marriage alliance.
"Come back in a few days. By the way, my young master has high standards and doesn't like gaudy makeup. The one beside you might be more to his liking."
Shirley, having spent nights with Evan Chen, knew well what he liked.
Scarlett Yao was instantly furious.
She wanted to get angry but, seeing Yu Dazhi lying on the ground wailing, she feared the consequences.
"Hmph, what's so great about it! If it weren't for my master's earnest persuasion, I wouldn't come even if your young master begged me. I prefer heavy makeup, goodbye!"
"Shirley is telling the truth; getting angry won't help."
Shirley shook her head indifferently and left with the maids.
"Young master is not seeing guests today. Leave your gifts and come back another day," Li Huaizhen also spoke.
If it were up to him, he wouldn't accept these gifts.
But the young master had taught him that refusing gifts was disrespectful.
The elders of both sects felt a bit displeased. They had brought such generous gifts and couldn't even get a meeting. Where was the justice in that?
Oh well, they were dealing with someone even the Ancestor feared.
"Then we will take our leave and return another day."
Helplessly, the people of the two sects had to leave.
"Everyone, don't go! Save me! Whoever saves me, I will make them the Supreme Elder, equal to the sect leader!"
Yu Dazhi, almost drained of blood, cried out tearfully.
"You fool, even our ancestor doesn't dare provoke the True Immortal Sect, and you came here to die. Serves you right."
Matthew Wei kicked Yu Dazhi, feeling a bit pleased at his miserable state, and admired the wisdom of their ancestor and sect leader.
"Sect Leader Li, I am guilty and repentant. Please plead with your young master on my behalf. Tell him I, Yu, am willing to be his servant for life…"
Swish!
Yu Dazhi's value had been exhausted. Li Huaizhen struck him down, splitting him in two.
"The Flying Immortal Sect's territory is quite fertile."
Li Huaizhen murmured, then flew off to claim the Flying Immortal Sect's territory.
…
In the Immortal World.
Evan Chen rested in a desolate cave for an hour, regaining his strength.
"March 8th is the day Sky Moon Cave opens its gates to recruit disciples. I should set off."
The journey was over eight thousand miles. The laws of the Immortal World were different from the Lower Realm, so Evan Chen couldn't fly. Walking would take several months.
Using a teleportation array would be a waste of money.
So, he decided to take a beast-drawn carriage and leave half a month early.
