Chapter 892: The Secret Of Immortal Dao (5)
At this, Lu Jiansheng immediately lowered his head in shame. He remained silent for dozens of seconds before finally muttering, “That... is not something we disciples can decide. It is determined by the elders of the sect. Once those people are delivered to the sect, they are taken into the restricted zones of the mountain. What happens afterward... we’re not allowed to know.”
“Restricted zones?” Li Xiaofei narrowed his eyes and asked, “What kind of restricted zones?”
Lu Jiansheng clenched his jaw and replied, “That is a secret of the Myriad Saints Immortal Sect. I cannot speak of it.”
Li Xiaofei stared at him in silence. Lu Jiansheng felt as though the blade of death itself was pressed against his throat. The pressure bearing down on him was suffocating. Cold sweat drenched his robes, yet he held firm. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
“Tch. Fine, don’t say it. Worst case, I’ll break into your mountain in a few days and take a look at this so-called restricted zone myself.”
Li Xiaofei shrugged, unconcerned. After that, he launched into more questions. Lu Jiansheng answered everything he could with surprising honesty. But he simply lacked the answers for many things. Even as a disciple of the Immortal Sect, much was still hidden from him.
Li Xiaofei waved his hand dismissively. Lu Jiansheng let out a long breath and quickly backed away. He had been deeply worried that Li Xiaofei would begin interrogating him about the inner secrets of the Myriad Saints Immortal Sect, or worse, force him to divulge cultivation methods. He had already prepared himself mentally for torture or even death in service to his sect.
To his surprise, all the questions Li Xiaofei had asked were general, common sense inquiries. There had been no coercion or undue humiliation. It left Lu Jiansheng completely baffled, and increasingly suspicious.
A strange thought began to take root in his mind. For some reason, Lu Jiansheng was starting to believe that Li Xiaofei might not even be a cultivator from this world. It was a ridiculous notion. And yet... he couldn’t shake it.
In the time that followed, Li Xiaofei continued guiding Kou Zhengyang, Yang Zhao, and Li Yiyun in their cultivation. What was more, he didn’t bother to conceal any of it from Lu Jiansheng and the others.
