Chapter 310: Senior Brother Dai: This Time, I Won’t Be Surprised No Matter What Happens

“So this is the Dao Seeking Sect?” Qin Yanyan exclaimed, standing at the entrance of the Dao Seeking Sect.

As one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Dao Seeking Sect was extremely active in the cultivation world. Even a reclusive cultivator like Qin Yanyan had heard of the Dao Seeking Sect’s renowned deeds in subduing demons and upholding justice, all of which attested to its immense power.

Even her mother, Su Yiren, had praised the Dao Seeking Sect’s strength, claiming it might be the strongest among the Five Great Immortal Sects.

After passing through the sect-protecting formation, Qin Yanyan could clearly feel the difference between this place and the outside world. The temperature and humidity were meticulously controlled to the most comfortable levels, and the concentration of spiritual energy was significantly higher, almost comparable to her own home.

Bear in mind, her home only housed her and her mother, Su Yiren.

Su Yiren, being a Unity stage powerhouse, had only managed to elevate the spiritual energy of one mountain to this level.

But the Dao Seeking Sect? It spanned a hundred thousand miles, and the spiritual energy concentration was akin to her home’s, which was astonishing.

“This is the foundation of twelve thousand years?”

Three men and one woman entered the mountain gate. As they passed through a bamboo forest, the flowing river in the bamboo grove rippled, and the river water surged, forming a river spirit.

“Stop! Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, who are these people you’ve brought into the Dao Seeking Sect?”

The river spirit, wielding two axes of gold and silver, glared at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with hostility.

The river spirit served as a defense for the Dao Seeking Sect, preventing intruders from entering.

For instance, when the two deputy Sect Leaders of the Undying Sect had entered the Dao Seeking Sect, the river spirit hadn’t stopped them because Yun Zhi had given secret instructions not to intervene. Otherwise, even with Lu Yang leading them, they wouldn’t have gotten past the gate.

“This is Qin Yanyan, a relative of Junior Brother Li,” Lu Yang introduced generously.

“Relative?” The river spirit looked suspiciously at the blushing Qin Yanyan and the oddly behaving Li Haoran.

“I have records of all Dao Seeking Sect disciples. I’ve never heard of Li Haoran having a relative named Qin Yanyan.”

Li Haoran thought to himself that he hadn’t known either until two months ago.

Lu Yang gave a brief explanation: “It’s like this. You should know that Junior Brother Li has a fiancée.”

The river spirit nodded.

“Junior Brother Li’s fiancée has a daughter, and that’s Qin Yanyan.”

The river spirit was stunned.

Meng Jingzhou, hearing the river spirit mention that he had information on all Dao Seeking Sect disciples, got an idea. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Then you must know Eldest Senior Sister’s age…”

Lu Yang, sensing danger, acted swiftly and kicked Meng Jingzhou, interrupting his question.

If you want to die, don’t drag everyone else down with you!

“Li Haoran, is what he says true?” From experience, the river spirit couldn’t entirely trust Lu Yang’s words.

Li Haoran hesitated, then nodded, “It’s true.”

The river spirit, impressed, saluted Li Haoran and allowed the four of them to pass.

“Go ahead. You know the sect rules; some places are off-limits without permission.”

Their first destination was the Mission Hall.

After all, their original purpose for leaving the sect was to complete a mission.

Despite some unexpected events, they had ultimately completed the task.

“Dear niece, wait here at the entrance. The Mission Hall is quite special, and you can’t enter without the permission of an elder-level figure.”

Lu Yang apologized to Qin Yanyan and said, “Please wait at the entrance of the Mission Hall. It’s a special area, and entry requires permission from an elder.”

Qin Yanyan waited at the entrance of the Mission Hall. Being a new face, she caught the attention of every passing disciple, making her feel extremely self-conscious and awkward, to the point where she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

Suddenly, two figures caught Qin Yanyan’s attention.

“I heard from Senior River Spirit that Senior Brother Lu is at the Mission Hall. Let’s go and get some guidance from him!”

“Sister Peach, there’s no need to rush. We can just wait for Brother Lu at the entrance of Heaven’s Gate Peak. We’ll run into him eventually.”

A man and a woman chatted as they walked towards the Mission Hall.

“Hey, a new face.” The woman noticed Qin Yanyan, who was awkwardly standing with her hands and feet fidgeting, and warmly approached her.

“My name is Peach Blossom Leaf, and this is Barbarian Bone. Who are you?”

…

“Senior Brother, we’re here to report on our mission.” Lu Yang said to the senior disciple at the front desk.

“The mission about the female ghosts in Ancient Locust Town, right? One moment.” The senior disciple turned and skillfully pulled a thin file from the bottom of a large stack of files behind him.

Oddly, despite pulling from the bottom, the towering pile of files above remained completely unaffected and unmoved.

Lu Yang keenly observed that these files weren’t stacked but were actually floating in the air, just packed so tightly that they appeared to be stacked.

Lu Yang handed over the mission report, the proof provided by Mayor Fan, and the verification of the harmlessness of the female ghosts.

The senior disciple, experienced from long hours at the front desk, wasn’t particularly surprised. Although using female ghosts to boost the local economy sounded bizarre, it wasn’t the first time he had heard of such things.

These matters couldn’t be widely publicized, which is why they were relatively unknown.

“Junior Brother Lu, your report includes a request to register the three female ghosts with Dao Seeking Sect. Someone will be sent for an on-site inspection soon.”

Dao Seeking Sect subdues demons, but they don’t kill all demons and ghosts indiscriminately. For those who are harmless, Dao Seeking Sect conducts checks to ensure they pose no threat and then registers them to prevent harm from well-meaning but uninformed righteous cultivators.

If any righteous cultivators insist on eliminating Little Seven and the other two female ghosts, they just need to present the registration proof from Dao Seeking Sect, and the cultivators would back off.

“You also mentioned in your report that the three female ghosts were acting under someone’s instructions. What’s that about?”

“This matter involves the demonic sects, and I need to report it to Senior Brother Dai,” Lu Yang said seriously.

“Wait a moment, I’ll inform him.”

“Lu Yang and the others want to report again?” At that moment, Dai Bufan, shrunken and encased in a giant water sphere along with sharks, whales, and octopuses that were eyeing him menacingly, heard about Lu Yang’s request.

He extricated himself from the water sphere, returned to his original size, and opened his mouth to swallow the water sphere along with the ferocious creatures.

This was one of his combat techniques, allowing him to drag enemies into a water sphere and have the water beasts tear them apart.

“Let them in.”

Dai Bufan pondered. This time, besides Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, there was also Li Haoran. Could this situation be related to the Nine Nether Sect?

“Why do these two always end up involved with demonic sects during their missions?” Dai Bufan wondered, suspecting that it was a case of like attracting like, with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou magnetically drawn to the demonic sects.

But this time, no matter what Lu Yang reported, he wouldn’t be surprised anymore.

What could it be? At most, they had successfully infiltrated the Nine Nether Sect.

When Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Li Haoran found Dai Bufan, Lu Yang honestly reported:

“Senior Brother Dai, the three of us have established a new demonic sect.”
