Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 970 - 636 Going to the Yellow Springs Together

Chapter 970: Chapter 636 Going to the Yellow Springs Together

Clouds and mist like dragons, dark green pines and cypresses.

At the foot of Jade Dragon Sect’s mountain.

Two immortal-looking Outer Elders stood with furrowed brows, holding a blood-stained invitation, now dark red, but the Immortal Seal upon it still glittered brilliantly.

Such seals could only be stamped by those with direct connections to the Immortal Court or true great sects that are disciples of the Three Immortals Sect.

Now look at the three people before you.

The man, in tattered white clothes, had a sullen expression, his teeth tightly clenched, his breath chaotic and weak as he pressed hard against a wound, while a girl, equally disheveled but still unspeakably charming, gently supported him.

Faint tear stains lingered on the girl’s face, her red lips bitten, her eyes lifelessly fixed on emptiness, as if she had just suffered a great calamity.

"So you mean to say, your sect has just suffered a disaster, and you have come all this way to avoid it, seeking to stay at our Jade Dragon Sect to recuperate?"

The slender Outer Elder raised an eyebrow, looking at the pair of young prodigies.

"Rest assured," Meng Xiuwen’s voice was hoarse, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "in no more than three to five months, once my fellow disciple and I have healed, we will leave, and we will surely not forget the great kindness of Jade Dragon Sect..."

As he spoke, he suddenly coughed a few times, causing the small items on his person to shake slightly.

Whether it was the storage magic tool or the jade pendant at his waist, each was an uncommon treasure.

Instantly, both Outer Elders’ gaze was captured.

The two froze for a moment, realizing something was amiss, and forcibly directed their gazes elsewhere, exchanging a glance: "..."

Quickly after, they almost imperceptibly shook their heads.

They had the Immortal Seal on the invitation as proof.

A prodigy from such an Overlord Sect, giving them some time and receiving generous gifts in return, if trouble came knocking, they could hand them over.

It sounded rather good.

But recently, there were important matters within the sect. If they couldn’t discern the truth from the façade, best not to be careless.

Just as the two were about to tactfully refuse, the man in the white robe coughed up a palmful of blood plasma again, and the green-robed girl instantly snapped back to reality, her eyes welling up with tears: "Brother!"

She supported him forcefully and then turned to look at the two Elders, hastily taking out a fragrant and exquisite wooden box from her Storage Bag, her voice tainted with a sob: "This is a longevity treasure, a modest gift we prepared for the Yulong Ancestor, please have mercy and spare my fellow disciples from further difficulty, we shall be greatly indebted to you afterwards!"

Seeing the girl like this, entranced by the intoxicating scent of the medicine, the two Outer Elders unconsciously swallowed, falling into doubt once more.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuwen covered his lips, a touch of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.

The little girl’s practice on the road was not bad—her expression and tone were much more genuine than last time.

Sure enough, the thin Elder slowly exhaled, the "modest gift" was for the Sect Master, but judging by the generosity of these two, even the spillage from their fingertips would be enough for oneself and others to enjoy.

He had just begun to consider opening the Array but was suddenly grabbed by his fellow disciple.

The other Elder took a serious look at this brother and sister pair, then slowly moved his gaze onto the silent third person.

He saw him covered in dust, and his black robe even dirtier.

"Little brother."

As the Outer Elder spoke, Meng Xiuwen and Ye Jing’s hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

Shen Yi had been feigning sleep with closed eyes all the way here, having not exchanged a single word with them.

"This is my Daoist Guardian; he had a mishap during cultivation and cannot speak," Meng Xiuwen supported himself as he spoke with a hoarse voice.

"..."

The previously eager thin Elder’s expression shifted subtly.

The other Elder’s gaze also darkened instantaneously, not responding but stepping closer to discern the third person’s visage.

Mute? That didn’t matter.

The eyes never lie.

With that thought, he peered intently into those dark eyes, searching for even a hint of panic or abnormality.

Meng Xiuwen’s hand slowly clenched into a fist. He hadn’t expected Jade Dragon Sect to be so vigilant lately, solidifying his previous guesses quite a bit.

Perhaps they had to think of another way to get in.

Meanwhile, Ye Jing’s fair fingers slowly rested upon the hilt of her sword.

Yet, they did not hear the Elder reveal their ploy.

The Elder shuddered slightly and fell silent.

He couldn’t see any panic or oddity in the young man’s eyes. Instead, as he approached, an instinctive look of disdain crossed that face that—even smeared with dirt—remained handsome.

In those profound eyes, despite the young man’s best efforts at concealment, the contempt and pride, along with the air of someone accustomed to high authority and the lives of numerous beings, gave the Elder a feeling reminiscent of his own Daozi.

Even gravely injured and on the run, this person, at heart, held no regard for ordinary cultivators like himself.

Such demeanor was impossible to feign.

What a load of bullocks about a guardian!

He had just been questioning the brother and sister pair; youthful and inexperienced they may be, but they should at least grasp the concept that wealth tempts the heart. On the run and severely injured, did they not even think to hide their valuables?

All became clear at that moment.

The so-called talented pair were merely decoys, and the true refuge seeker was this supposed horse-lead boy.

"Little brother, you’ve had a hard journey, please follow us into the sect."

The Outer Elder said with a smile, continuing the previous sentiment as he stepped back: "However, let me be clear upfront, I will report to the sect to see if we can find a secluded spot for you to heal, but if it involves conflict between sects, Jade Dragon Sect will not get involved."
