Chapter 189: Chapter 120: Celestial Demon Slayer

Watching Qingqing fly away, her tears scattering in the air, Chu Xuan stood silently.

Qingqing did not fly directly back to the formation of the Li’an Demon Sect but moved away from the Ruo Wood, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight, leaving the onlookers somewhat puzzled. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Chu Xuan understood very well why she did this. Returning directly would make people suspect he had dealings with the Demon Sect.

Sure enough, after a short while, a mysterious woman appeared on the side of the Li’an Demon Sect, dressed in a black gown, with a teardrop-shaped ornament on her forehead and a veil over her face.

There were rumors claiming that she was likely this generation’s Saintess/Demoness of the Li’an Demon Sect.

Seeing this, Gu Haitang finally let out a sigh of relief.

She had argued and persuaded her two elders to return to Chu Xuan’s side, prepared to comfort him well.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yiyi approached again. She first glanced at Duanmu Qing, who had returned to her original identity, and muttered to herself, "I knew this person was from the demon path."

"Chu Xuan, listen to me. She’s not suitable for you. It’s more worthwhile for us to have an [Innate Chaos Dao Embryo]."

Still immersed in a faint sadness, Chu Xuan paid her no attention.

Gu Haitang’s gaze at Jiang Yiyi became even softer. Regardless of whether she had some issues, at least she was happy to see the relationship between herself and Chu Xuan progress.

"But then again," Jiang Yiyi looked at Chu Xuan with concern, "are you really going to take a third wheel into the secret realm?"

Gu Haitang was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "third wheel" referred to herself, making her secretly grit her teeth and regret her previous thoughts deeply.

Originally still in sadness, Chu Xuan was amused by the sudden remark from his ancestor, "What, do you think Haitang is weak?"

"At least she’s weaker than you right now. My intuition is quite accurate." Jiang Yiyi said, arms crossed, looking profoundly mysterious.

"You have to know, this Ruo Wood Secret Realm is extraordinary. I heard people say, ’crocodiles go in, geckos come out; pythons go in, earthworms come out; tigresses go in, little darlings come out.’"

Chu Xuan nodded, "Suits you."

Jiang Yiyi retorted angrily, "Suits you."

Chu Xuan looked up; the two masters were already instructing their disciples on various precautions, so he turned to Jiang Yiyi and asked an inexplicable question:

"Let me ask you, do you know what the foundation of a sect is?"

Jiang Yiyi replied without thinking, "Of course, it’s whoever has more ascended ancestors is more powerful."

"Wrong, when you beat the young, the old ones come; when you beat the old, the older ones come; when you beat the oldest, the ancestors come. That’s the foundation of a sect!"

"Abbreviated as ’beat young, old comes; beat old, older comes; beat older, ancestor comes.’" Chu Xuan concluded solemnly.

Jiang Yiyi looked shocked, murmuring, "That makes sense. Usually, unless the sect is destroyed, ascended ancestors don’t step in. This way is indeed reliable."

"In that case, next time you go out to fight, you can use my name to scare them."

Chu Xuan shook his head with a smile, "What I mean is, you should take care of your safety. Remember, never act recklessly. Our Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace can’t do without you, the old ancestor. Otherwise, if we get bullied, there’ll be no one to back us up."

Jiang Yiyi was suddenly moved. She hugged Chu Xuan and murmured, "You’re so nice, you even care about me..."

At this point, even Gu Haitang’s gaze at Jiang Yiyi changed, wondering how many more hugs it would take. Enough already?

...

At Wuyou Valley, Ji Mingyu was still there, holding a small snow ferret, looking indifferently at the water mirror.

Because of a great merit it had achieved a few days before, the little snow ferret could sense that its master’s attitude towards it had improved significantly. In fact, it was no longer so afraid of its master and even worried about her somewhat.

In the past few days, Ji Mingyu hadn’t spoken a single word.

Such occurrences were common before. Before Chu Xuan arrived, she wouldn’t speak for an entire year.

But this time was different. The little snow ferret could feel that Ji Mingyu’s previous confidence had been shaken, and she had lost that sense of certainty.

Seeing Chu Xuan in close contact with other women, her master only had a cold expression, without much reaction, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hmm?" Ji Mingyu’s gaze suddenly shifted away from Chu Xuan.

The little snow ferret was a bit surprised. It had never seen its master divert her focus from Chu Xuan while watching the water mirror.

Following her gaze, the little snow ferret noticed a small blurry, hazy area on the water mirror, as if something couldn’t be reflected by it.

...

Chu Xuan patted Jiang Yiyi’s head, just about to say something.

Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked up, gazing at something behind him with suspicion.

The next moment, Chu Xuan felt a peculiar sensation swell up in his heart, and he immediately turned around.

He saw a man dressed in an azure water-suit, his long hair tied with a silk ribbon, with a face that was handsome yet carried a trace of weariness, walking silently towards them.

This man had an extraordinarily unique aura. The moment he appeared, it was as if he became the center of heaven and earth, with the entire world revolving around him.

Chu Xuan was immensely astonished. How could it be him?!

Gu Haitang, seeing the two’s actions, looked over in confusion, only to see many cultivators still rushing in from all directions, surrounded by noise, with nothing suspicious in sight.

With her brow slightly furrowed, Jiang Yiyi muttered to herself, "Who is he? Why does he look somewhat familiar?"
