Chapter 149: Imperial Court
Before Li Qiye could finish his sentence, Wang Yufan’s hand was already pointed at his forehead.
A massive energy wave directly washed over Li Qiye’s mind.
Just like that, Li Qiye screamed out as he couldn’t withstand this surge of energy.
One breath.
Two breaths.
After a full ten breaths, Li Qiye’s voice finally stopped, and then he gasped for air.
Wang Yufan said with a smile, "Not bad, what I just gave you is a cultivation technique for luck. You should practice it well from now on, as it will make your foundation more solid. I see that your current foundational grasp is too poor, which simply won’t sustain you to the Celestial Immortal Realm."
Li Qiye listened to Wang Yufan’s words and nodded heavily. He was very convinced by what Wang Yufan said. Wang Yufan was very satisfied with Li Qiye’s reaction; this was the second disciple he had taken.
"You go down first. I’ll give you two days to bid farewell to the Li Shui Sect people. We are leaving here. This trip might take a long time before we return, so make your preparations," Wang Yufan said to Li Qiye.
Li Qiye had long guessed that Wang Yufan wouldn’t stay in the Li Shui Sect for too long.
After Li Qiye left, Wang Yufan suddenly thought of something.
With a thought, two people and a dog appeared beside Wang Yufan.
The people who appeared were Li Meng’er and Mo Zheng, along with Little Black.
"Young Master, have we arrived at the Upper Realm? Where is this? It looks like a room," Li Meng’er asked.
Wang Yufan said, "Well, this is a place in the Li Shui Sect. I’ve been here for two days. I didn’t let you out before because it was a bit dangerous here. Now that I’ve let you out, it means it’s safe. Also, in two days, we will be leaving here, so get ready."
Listening to Wang Yufan’s words, Li Meng’er felt strange, muttering to herself, "If there was danger here, wouldn’t Young Master be able to defeat it in one move? Did Young Master forget to let us out?"
Wang Yufan also knew what Li Meng’er was thinking and cleared his throat twice, "Ahem, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go out now. Just follow behind me."
As Wang Yufan spoke, he opened the room door. When the outside scene appeared before Li Meng’er and Little Black, it felt as if they had just emerged from a large mountain.
As for Mo Zheng, who was beside them, he showed no surprise at all.
"This is the Dao Realm. The spiritual energy here is dozens of times more abundant than in our Lower Realm. I didn’t notice it just now, but I feel like my speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased by more than four times." Li Meng’er exclaimed loudly.
The two Li Shui Sect disciples guarding Wang Yufan’s door saw Wang Yufan come out and respectfully cupped their hands, saying, "Young Master, what do you need us two to do? Just call me Little Zhu, and he is Little Lin," a green-robed disciple said.
Wang Yufan nodded and said, "I don’t need you to do anything. I’m just taking a stroll."
However, when the green-robed disciple saw Li Meng’er and Mo Zheng, his expression became somewhat nervous. In their eyes, these were strangers, and furthermore, Li Meng’er was wearing a ghost mask, making her look even less like a good person.
The green-robed disciple asked, "Young Master, who are these two behind you?"
"Oh, these are all my followers. You don’t need to be nervous. They didn’t come out before, so you didn’t see them. Now that you know, there’s no need to be nervous. Go do what you need to do; you don’t need to worry about me."
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he led Li Meng’er, Mo Zheng, and Little Black in one direction.
The two green-robed disciples exchanged glances, then left. They were sent by Yin Mofan to take care of Wang Yufan’s daily needs, and they dared not be negligent in the slightest.
In the hearts of all the Li Shui Sect disciples, Wang Yufan was like a deity, sent by the heavens to save their Li Shui Sect.
Just like that, Wang Yufan took Li Meng’er and the others to various places within the Li Shui Sect. Yin Mofan was very surprised to learn that Wang Yufan actually had followers.
He had thought it was just Wang Yufan alone. They didn’t even know when his followers came to the Li Shui Sect; it was as if they had appeared out of thin air. He knew this was Wang Yufan’s secret, so Yin Mofan didn’t want to ask any more questions, lest Wang Yufan find him annoying.
...
Moon Worship Sect.
When Ouyang Feng and the others returned to the sect, they immediately headed towards Bai Wuji’s main hall. The moment they entered the sect, they felt a desolate atmosphere within. They knew that the cultivation-restricting curse had already begun.
And the Sect Master had been preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm these past few days, but it seemed he had mostly failed. Ouyang Feng felt very anxious.
Ouyang Feng, along with several elders, rushed into the Sect Master’s main hall, only to see a middle-aged man in a white robe, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, lying on a chair. It was indeed Bai Wuji, the Sect Master of the Moon Worship Sect.
"Sect Master. We’re back," Ouyang Feng said.
"Hmm, you’re back. How did things go? Did you mess it up? Where is that esteemed one?" Bai Wuji said slowly, as if he already knew everything.
Looking at Bai Wuji’s appearance, Ouyang Feng slowly began to speak.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this expedition was not successful. This is what happened." About half an incense stick later, Ouyang Feng finished explaining everything.
Although Bai Wuji had already guessed some things, upon hearing Ouyang Feng’s words, he still felt a shock. He hadn’t expected a twenty-something-year-old youth to appear and change the entire battle, and even the True Immortal projection was suspected to have been defeated by that youth.
Bai Wuji thought to himself, if it had been him who went this time, he would probably have stayed there forever. The Black Robed Hat Person, who was so strong, had his cultivation easily taken by that youth, becoming a cripple.
He didn’t know that such a young person could appear in the area governed by the Tianlong Imperial Court. A huge question arose in his heart, and he felt that this time their Moon Worship Sect would never rise again.
However, to survive in this cruel Dao Realm, one must rely on others. Bai Wuji thought of a person in his mind, an elder of the Tianlong Imperial Court, and this elder was precisely that True Immortal projection, and also the Black Robed Hat Person’s master, as he had once heard from the Black Robed Hat Person.
Since their Moon Worship Sect would no longer be able to advance in cultivation, it would be better to directly pledge allegiance to the Tianlong Imperial Court. Immediately, Bai Wuji directly told Ouyang Feng and the other elders his idea.
Ouyang Feng and the others initially found it inappropriate, but as Bai Wuji slowly analyzed the pros and cons, they finally decided that Ouyang Feng would go to the Tianlong Imperial Court to find that True Immortal.
