Free Web NovelNot long after Ying Bing and Li Mo left Qingmu City.
In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, a group of Demon Summoning Cultists were gathered for breakfast. Since there were too many of them to fit on the first floor, they had ordered their food and returned upstairs.
Luo Yexian sat at the head of the table, waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes.
However, just then, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his embrace—it was his token.
As a demonic sect, the Demon Summoning Sect naturally had its own set of communication methods, and the token was one of them. Ordinary members could use their Yi Soul to transmit messages on the token.
But the Hall Master's token was even more Advanced; it was a relic from ancient times, capable of projections.
Buzz—
Buzz—
"Quiet everyone, it's Saint."
Luo Yexian gestured for his subordinates to be silent, then connected the token, and a light projection instantly formed an image.
"Greetings, Saint."
The figure on the other side of the light screen twisted unsteadily, making him appear somewhat eerie.
This Demon-Calling Holy Child was once the Qianlong Ranking Top in his early years, but was later defeated by the Great Yu Crown Prince, shattering his Dragon form and reducing him to a state where he could only compete with Tian Miao of Yantian Sect for the top three.
Since then, his temperament had become increasingly unpredictable.
"You were tasked with investigating the Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect. Why has there been no news for so long, as if a stone has sunk into the sea?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's voice was low and deep.
Hearing that Saint was not in a good mood, Luo Yexian straightened his back:
"Didn't you say not to disturb you until there were results? Wasn't that your instruction?"
"....."
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's phantom flickered twice.
"Why can't you people be more flexible?"
"You said last time that we were clumsy and short-sighted, and that we should never act on our own again, or add unnecessary details, and that everything should follow your wise instructions."
Luo Yexian replied obediently.
"But I also said that in emergencies, you could act on your own discretion."
"But you didn't say last time whether this counted as an emergency or not."
"If I didn't say, didn't you know to ask?!"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's tone was somewhat gritting.
Luo Yexian retorted righteously: "But you said not to disturb your cultivation before there were results....."
He acted very steadily, everything was according to the rules and procedures given by Saint.
"You....."
The phantom trembled violently a few times.
Perhaps the Demon-Calling Holy Child wanted to curse, but given that the Hall Master of Hundred Beasts was his My Little Uncle, some words, once uttered, might cause more harm than good....
Why didn't he find communication so difficult before?
Oh, before, although Hundred Beast Hall had a Hall Master, it was merely a title.
Most matters in Southern Border were led by Han Zhen, but now that Han Zhen was dead, the average IQ of Hundred Beast Hall had plummeted....
If only Luo Yexian wasn't his My Little Uncle, he would have invoked the sect rules long ago! freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Alright, what have you done so °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° far?"
"Reporting, Saint, we have already tracked them to Qingmu City and are waiting for the opportune moment. As soon as they leave Qingmu City, we will be able to find them immediately!"
Luo Yexian said in a deep voice, finally saying something reliable.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's unpredictable phantom finally stabilized a bit. This so-called Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect was most likely non-existent, but what if?
The tip of the iceberg that the Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect revealed was too terrifying.
Even a one-in-ten-thousand chance was enough for him to be cautious.
"Is the target in Qingmu City?"
"That's right."
The Demon-Calling Holy Child took a deep breath. He couldn't leave at the moment, and he was afraid Luo Yexian would mess things up, so he emphasized again:
"Once you find them, you must first test them. Even if it turns out to be a false lead, you must first ask for my instructions on how to deal with it. Report any situation to me!"
"Yes!"
The phantom then disappeared.
Before long, the dishes were served, and the Demon Summoning Cultists took out a few sets of mahjong and started playing. After all, there was nothing else they could do but pass the time.
Suddenly, the buck-toothed priest's eyes widened:
"All one suit! I have a Seven Pairs of All One Suit! Give me money, give me money!"
But not long after, the middle-aged priest suddenly returned from outside and shouted:
"Hall Master, the target has left the city!"
"Hmm, set off immediately."
Luo Yexian suddenly stood up, overturning the mahjong table in the process.
"But I had an All One Suit....."
"How can you be distracted by trivialities when important matters are at hand? You can't distinguish between priorities."
"???"
In any case, the group of Demon Summoning Cultists set off in a grand manner. They boarded a Six-Rank Disaster Beast and flew high into the sky.
And along the way, the gaunt middle-aged priest kept a close watch on the direction of the Power of All Beings.
After a while, he spoke again:
"Hall Master, the convergence point of the Power of All Beings is just ahead."
"Oh? They stopped?"
Luo Yexian narrowed his eyes.
Ahead was a lush, sprawling peach blossom forest, with a green stream flowing slowly like a jade belt, leading to an unknown destination.
Peach petals fell onto the stream, beautiful and dreamlike, so tranquil and ethereal that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a fairyland on earth.
Woo—
The sound of a flute seemed to flow out with the babbling stream.
"Who?!"
Luo Yexian spoke cautiously.
The Demon Summoning Cultists subconsciously looked up, but couldn't help but contract their pupils.
They saw a small boat slowly approaching from the depths of the peach blossom forest.
At the bow of the boat stood a maiden in a dark, flowing immortal dress, her figure ethereal and graceful, her skirt gently swaying as she played a bamboo flute. The sound echoed faintly through the peach blossom forest; the music seemed to come from beyond the heavens, completely different in style from any tune in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet imbued with a sense of ancientness.
Cough, indeed, the style was unique.
If anyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had heard "Big Fish," that would truly be seeing a ghost.
But regardless.
With such a painting exuding Immortal Qi laid out before them, no one dared to act rashly.
More importantly, the maiden was extraordinary.
Her face was covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of dark eyebrows. Logically, it was just a light veil, but if you looked closely, you would feel that her divine beauty was hidden in the clouds, utterly indistinct.
Even if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't know there was a person standing there!
It was as if this woman did not belong to this world!
Luo Yexian asked cautiously in his heart:
"Who goes there?"
"......"
Ying Bing put down her bamboo flute, remaining silent, looking at the several people indifferently.
This was what Li Mo had instructed her, to recall what it was like without him.
A performance needed to seize the initiative; she didn't need to say anything.
The Ice Cube's gaze.
The Phoenix Heavenly Empress's oppressive aura was fully unleashed!
Luo Yexian: "!"
Demon Summoning Cultists: "!!!"
What a pair of autumn-water eyes, so aloof and detached, devoid of any emotion! As if an immortal deity looking down upon the mortal world!
This gaze put too much pressure on them.
It made Luo Yexian and the other Demon Summoning Cultists sweat profusely, feeling that they were mere mortals, utterly unworthy of her attention!
They had never felt this way, even when facing Saint!!
Hmm....
The time was almost right.
Xiao Li, observing in secret, nodded with satisfaction. The Ice Cube's performance was even better than he had imagined, almost as if she wasn't acting.
Next time, he'd have to tell her to rein it in a bit....
The first step was complete. Li Mo stepped out of the peach blossom forest and said loudly:
"Senior Sister, don't be hasty with the killing. These people are outsiders whom Junior Brother has brought to visit."
