The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 462 - 269: Rejection_2

Nangong Zhen listened quietly and suddenly laughed, "Such a woman, no wonder your disciple would take a liking to her." After glancing at Bai Qing’s expression, he burst into laughter, "That’s right, you’re a man of black and white, right and wrong. You’ve lived a life untouched by love and remain focused, but how could you know that in this world, the word ’love’ is the most entangled and chaotic."

"You exhaust all schemes to suppress your cultivation, isn’t it just to fight for more time to teach your disciple? If you had really killed her just now, although your filial disciple wouldn’t say it, he might not dare to hate you in his heart. But that girl would definitely become his Heart Demon, forever obstructing his path of cultivation."

He sighed deeply, "In this world, what could be more enduring than a deceased person?"

Bai Qing’s gaze sharpened, continuing to drink without a word.

His aura was sharp, and he was the leader of a sect; who would dare advise him like this normally? Even the fearless Hu Huoer respected him. Although she felt his order to kill Ning Xiaoxian was very inappropriate, she could only superficially obey while actually resisting, not daring to confront him directly. Hence, these truths only came to him today from the mouth of someone like Nangong Zhen, whose status matched his own.

Riding on Qi Zai’s back, Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t help but speak up, "Changtian. Bai Qing’s personality is so fickle, it’s perverted! He just beat me to the point of vomiting blood, and in the next moment, he wants to recruit me into Chaoyun Sect?" How could the leader of the grand Chaoyun Sect be unclear-headed?

Changtian indifferently said, "Just now Sect Leader Nangong Zhen of Guangcheng Palace also mentioned that Bai Qing dedicates his life to the sword, desiring nothing else but progress in the Dao. He even neglects all other sect affairs and lets others handle them. Such a person must live in a simple world of clearly defined rights and wrongs."

She was unconvinced, "How can you call it simple when even I can’t understand his actions?"

"It’s because you haven’t understood his thoughts." Changtian continued, "His earlier attempt to kill you was simply because he thought you were obstructing Quan Shifang’s path of cultivation; his later intention to recruit you into the sect was after seeing your rapid progress in Dao, surpassing his own disciples, able to stand alongside Quan Shifang. He reckoned that in the future you wouldn’t hold Quan Shifang back, so he no longer wanted to hinder your relationship. After pausing, he added, "Indeed, Bai Qing deserved to be the head of a sect, operating solely on the notions of ’benefit’ and ’harm’. What is harmful shall be eliminated, what is beneficial shall be embraced, utterly disregarding his personal preferences."

He spoke slowly, as if he had known Bai Qing for years. He had met many people dedicated to proving the Dao before, but few were as focused as Bai Qing. "I’ve heard that Bai Qing himself was not particularly talented, but he was incredibly diligent on the Immortal Path. From the moment he joined Chaoyun Sect, he trained ten times harder than others. At sixty, with sword in hand, he entered the Thunder Prison, one of the Six Forbidden Lands of the Southern Continent, to experience the terror of thunder striking the body, the daunting force of Heaven. He meditated there for ten years, and upon his return, he had barely any rivals under Heaven. The Thunder Sword Technique practiced by Quan Shifang is said to be the insight Bai Qing gained within the Thunder Prison. If we talk about the profound depth of his cultivation, at just three hundred and twenty-two years old, he’s already arguably the strongest under Heavenly Tribulation."

In conclusion, he asserted, "Such bold progress and single-minded focus, if not for Quan Shifang, how would he have any involvement with you?" Hmph, Quan Shifang was also a rival in love. Throughout their journey, Changtian had instructed Tu Jin to inquire about him and his master.

Ning Xiaoxian found it both amusing and frustrating. This petty fellow said so much, but in the end, he hit out at Quan Shifang again.

After a whole night of commotion, it was just two hours before daylight. Qi Zai carried her back to Crane Peak, and indeed, the three female disciples from Chaoyun Sect couldn’t wait and had left.

Atop the building, only Tu Jin stood woodenly under the moonlight.

This fellow still has a heavy mind. She shook her head and landed beside him, taking out her inner core to absorb and breathe in the Moonlight.

Last night, while following Ji Zhenzong, she even missed this usual routine.

Hmm, speaking of which, where did Ji Zhenzong run off to? She had a premonition that this person with the ability to freely enter and leave with Guanglingzi’s Jade Hu Artifact was about to stir up a storm.

The low whisper of pine waves filled the forest as the moonlight shone lightly. Tonight’s moonlight was weak, yet like most demons, every bit of silver light that fell on her body made her feel comfortable. Could she still be considered a normal human under such circumstances?

Although she was harmed by Bai Qing’s killing aura and vomited blood earlier, which looked frightening, the injury wasn’t serious. With three layers of protection: Protective Divine Power, magic ring, and Black Scale Armor, his attack was greatly weakened upon reaching her. Her physique, being at the mid-stage of Great Success, could wholly withstand it.

Under the moonlight, the True One Technique accelerated. Through introspection, she could see her injuries healing bit by bit.

As she was gradually entering a state of forgetfulness of both self and surroundings, Changtian’s voice, quiet for a long time, finally spoke up, "Four visitors are tiptoeing to our door, prepare to entertain them nicely."

Visitors? Who would be well-intentioned sneaking up to her building in the middle of the night? Her building’s remote location was quiet most of the time but made it quite convenient for thieves and avengers to approach.

"They’ve landed on the ground and are moving towards the backyard position." Changtian provided precise location guidance, "Fifty meters away. Ah, it’s the people from Tianlan Courtyard."

She felt both irritated and amused.

These people chose the right time, right before dawn when the human spirit is most scattered. The moonlight was also dim tonight, indeed suitable for unwelcome visits. But why go through the backyard? Could it be because they had never engaged in sneaky behaviors before and therefore didn’t dare to use the front door out of guilt? (To be continued...
