Chapter 972: Chapter 636 Journeying to the Yellow Springs Together_3

In Jianyang Prefecture, amidst the insignificant Jade Dragon Ridge, raindrops were about to fall when they were suddenly gathered by an invisible vast net.

This object was clearly extraordinary, even unnoticed by Immortal Officials.

As night receded, the great sun hung high.

Countless disciples streamed out from the Jade Dragon Sect, roaming the Mortal Realm, setting up porridge stalls, moistening the cracked lips of the populace with ladles of warm porridge.

Their faces were not all the same, but what was similar was the deity statues placed among the porridge stalls.

The woman’s statue stood gazing into the distance, holding a Qing Mei.

The famished people hastily ate the thick porridge and then, as if by instinct, proceeded to prostrate themselves solemnly before the statue.

"It’s probably that this deity has encountered some bottleneck in her cultivation, in need of imperial qi for support, and has become a bit impatient. Jade Dragon Ridge is just one of the places, after all."

Meng Xiuwen looked indifferent, his tone extremely calm, "Just seize their shoddy net."

That Immortal Net was clearly not of the Mortal Realm, a gift from the Immortals; without it, the Jade Dragon Sect wouldn’t dare entertain other thoughts.

Having said that, he closed his eyes once again.

Ye Jing fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Meng Tousheng is angry."

"How so?" Shen Yi slowly lifted his gaze.

"He hates such deception of ingenuous people the most. Yet, the matter has not escalated too much, not enough to truly hold that Immortal accountable; confiscating their immortal treasure is the only option, so he’s probably feeling somewhat stifled."

Ye Jing pulled out half a piece of flower cake and gently took a bite.

The meaning of not causing a bigger scene was that they provided porridge at just the right time, not leaving famine and corpses everywhere. However, to make mortals more grateful, this porridge could only be ladled out when they were at the apex of hunger and thirst.

As for the unexpected hunger and thirst they suffered, it was considered contribution to the Immortal’s path of cultivation; after all, not too many had died.

"I see."

Shen Yi nodded lightly, his gaze directed towards the direction of the Jade Dragon Sect’s Inner Sect.

He might not understand the outside world very well.

But a treasure capable of obscuring the sight of Immortal Officials — shouldn’t someone be guarding it?

This net might not be so easy to gather up.

...

Simultaneously.

Inside the Grand Hall of the Jade Dragon Sect’s Ancestor.

A frail young man sat cross-legged with whites of his eyes taking on a jade hue, indifferently gazing downwards. As mana flowed through his body, a casually wandering man in a white robe suddenly appeared, clearly scrutinizing something.

"You covet their methods, and they covet your life."

The indifferent voice echoed throughout the hall.

Beside him, the expression of the Yulong Ancestor changed, and he quickly bowed, "This one shall only follow the teachings of Qing Mei True Man. Those side paths and deviant practices are not worth learning."

He held the sect’s power and authority, yet was so humble before this young man.

Because the other was a direct disciple of Qing Mei True Man, a genuine disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, unlike a Loose Cultivator like him who could only listen from below the stage.

"Heh."

The young man let out a laugh, his pupils gradually returning to normal, "You needn’t flatter my master with those words; your struggles as Loose Cultivators are difficult, and my master understands that. Help yourself."

Saying so, he gently stroked the head of Black Bear next to him, "Humanity is too overbearing."

Even daring to meddle in the affairs of the Taiyi Immortal Family, disregarding the status of the Three Immortals Sect.

"Some are coveting my master’s immortal treasure; I shall take a trip outside. Do stay here and wait for my return."

As his words came to an end, he had already vanished from the hall.

The Yulong Ancestor slowly relaxed, greed swelling in his eyes. ’Help yourself’... this was acting under an Immortal Order, so he couldn’t be blamed.

Whether these people were true inner sect disciples or meddling Loose Cultivators, at least their possessions were genuine treasures.

Pondering this, he smiled at Black Bear, "Would Brother Xiong care to accompany me and partake together?"

Even if these people had some background, as long as Black Bear shared in the spoils, even if it were the will of Qing Mei True Man, which Immortal Sect could be greater than the Taiyi Immortal Family?

With the master gone, the docility on Black Bear’s face gradually faded; he stood up, chuckling, "Together, together."

One tall and one short, the two figures took their time under cover of night, leisurely heading towards that small courtyard.
