This Isn't the Kind of Master's Wife I Wanted!

When Lingzhou Yue, Xiao Ran, and Chuyan Yan were summoned to the Main Peak, Lu Pingtian had already arrived.

Not only Lu Pingtian, but the group of nine people rode in a black Immortal Boat engraved with blood patterns, and docked ten feet away from the Main Peak Sword Terrace.

The Immortal Boat was small, much smaller than Li Wuxie's Dao Alliance Immortal Boat, yet it inexplicably exuded an indescribable demonic aura, as if Immortal Boat demon was hiding inside.

Actually... this is a simulated sound wave.

During the Dao Alliance era, the Demonic Sect had long since been cleansed of its evil ways, so there were no demons left. However, in order to show that it was the Demonic Sect, it used formations to simulate the effects of demons.

In Xiao Ran's view, this is just like the simulated engine sound of some cars, a way to keep a little excitement in mind and put on a good show in the outside world.

Out of nine people.

The leader was a pale-faced old man dressed in a black robe. He Cultivation Level the Nascent Soul stage, was tall and thin, with black hair, an eagle nose, and fox-like eyes, and had a cold and stern appearance.

He is the current Disciplinary Elder of the Saint Demon Sect—

Qiu Renjun.

Qiu Ren implies that one may not be benevolent at present.

This is a big shot whose name even Xiao Ran has heard of.

It is said that Qiu Renjun was originally a member of the Dao Alliance and had a long tenure. Later, he was placed into the Demon Sect by the Dao Alliance and single-handedly integrated dozens of Demon Sects of all sizes on the True Spirit Continent into the current Saint Demon Sect. He was an extremely capable person.

"Why is this old man here?"

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine and muttered to herself in confusion.

Chuyan stood aside like a lackey, completely unconcerned about what these people were going to do, until she suddenly remembered what Xiao Ran had asked her to do ten days ago.

These people actually came...

She glanced at it.

Lu Pingtian, just as the legends say, is handsome, flashy, and a bit greasy. His Cultivation Level is only at the Golden Core Realm, so dealing with him shouldn't be a problem.

There was a woman nearby.

Her entire body was wrapped in purple vines, making her look like a graceful tree spirit from head to toe. Her face was painted with glamorous heavy makeup, and through the occasional gaps in the vines, one could see her snow-white skin covered with crimson blood-like patterns.

Cultivation Level: Spirit Severing Realm!

The Purple Vine Woman is also very famous in the Cultivation World.

When Xiao Ran lived in the Mortal Realm, he often heard ghost stories about the Purple Vine Woman.

They say she uses her beauty to seduce men, drags them into her body, and digests them with poison...

Xiao Ran wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the Purple Vine Woman's gaze was subtly fixed on his Master.

Could it be Master's wife? Xiao Ran shuddered.

I can't handle a teacher's wife like that!

Chuyan leaned close to Lingzhou Yue's ear and whispered a reminder:

"Grandmaster, this woman seems to be staring at you all the time."

Lingzhou Yue's face flushed slightly as she explained, "This is my senior sister. She was a disciple that our Master took in when he was still in a small sect. Later, for some reason, she fell into demonic possession and was expelled from the sect. The Saint Demon Sect deliberately brought her along this time, probably to use this relationship to get closer to us. Just ignore her."

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't her teacher's wife.

If he went there, his master's wife would become his food source.

Of the remaining people on the deck of the Immortal Boat, Xiao Ran only recognized Lu Pingtian.

His aura seems to possess a kind of demonic quality.

It wasn't the electronic sonic boom from the Immortal Boat; it was the pure, long-lost... mesmerizing sound.

This is why Xiao Ran let Chuyan try it first.

After discovering the scam, this guy will definitely guess his identity and strength, and go back to train hard.

If they don't come, so be it; but if they do come, they must have come prepared.

Apart from Qiu Renjun, Purple Vine Woman, and Lu Pingtian, the remaining six were either at the Nascent Soul or Golden Core stage; none of them were weak.

There appeared to be two other people among them, wearing the Auspicious Cloud Sword Robe of the Dao Alliance...

Things seem to have gotten out of hand! The fighting power of this ship's crew has already exceeded half of Zongzhi Mountain leader.

Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Shouldn't challenging me be Lu Pingtian's personal choice? The sect is backing him up, and he's even brought people from the Dao Alliance... Does he have absolute confidence in defeating me?

Xiao Ran decided to take it easy.

Since this was a very formal and friendly visit by the Saint Demon Sect, Zongzhi Mountain also sent out an extremely solemn welcoming team.

Huangfu Qun and his son, along with several Discipline Hall Law Enforcer.

Master Boyun's doppelganger.

The Three-Man Team of Sword-Wielding Mountain.

There are nine people in total.

True Person Moxia has never participated in such activities.

True Person Yinyue was still in the Pill Chamber researching the Wraith Poison and did not come.

However, among the five mountains of the sect, the bigwigs of three mountains all came out, which can be considered as giving face to the Saint Demon Sect.

Among the nine people on the Immortal Boat, Qiu Renjun, along with Zi Tengnu, Lu Pingtian, and two members of the Dao Alliance, descended on their swords and landed politely on the Sword Plaza.

"Qiu Ren you are well, Brother Qiuren."

Huangfu Qun stood in front and gave a slight bow, greeting only Qiu Renjun.

He didn't take either the Poison Ivy Woman or the two members of the Dao Alliance seriously.

Qiu Renjun glanced around. He was tall, had a cold face, and with his Cultivation Level the Body Integration Realm, he had a very strong aura.

"Junior Brother Huangfu, Ling Zhou, Master Boyun Nephew Boyunzi, how have you been?"

His tone was very polite, and he bowed to the three of them.

The three returned the greeting with a bow.

The other people were not introduced by either side.

Qiu Renjun then apologized for his visit.

"The documents that notified me of my visit in advance were secretly withheld by Li Wuxie. My sudden visit is quite presumptuous."

Although it was true, Huangfu Qun did not believe such absurd reasons, nor did he care.

"Zongzhi Mountain has not had any guests for a long time. We are so glad to welcome Qiu Ren Brother Qiuren."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qiu Renjun then asked Master Boyun.

"How is the Sect Leader True Person's health?"

Master Boyun had a gentle, feminine expression and a calm gaze.

"Master is still in seclusion, and everything is fine."

Qiu Renjun's face showed reminiscence.

"Before the Dharma Ending Era, I met Senior Qian Junzi several times, and he gave me a lot of guidance. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed since the Dharma Ending Era, and the world is almost collapsing. Seeing that Senior is still in good health, I feel extremely relieved... Please convey my regards to Senior on my behalf."

Master Boyun bowed deeply.

"Yes."

Xiao Ran glanced at the old man. He had a strong aura. He was clearly putting on an air of seniority, with a forced smile, but his words were very pleasant to hear.

With just a few words, he got Huangfu Qun and Master Boyun on board.

After reminiscing about the Sect Leader True Person, Qiu Renjun turned to look at Lingzhou Yue.

"Ling Zhou, the last time I saw you was at the Academy. You were just a girl who had returned from the Battle of Zhuming. I never imagined that you would already be a Sword-Wielding Elder."

Lingzhou Yue, however, was not buying it. With her eyelids drooping, she gulped down her drink.

"I gave up a lot of precious time to come and welcome you, so let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

"Back then, I really didn't realize you were such a discerning person."

Qiu Renjun may seem to be talking to himself, but he has actually gotten to the point.

The main topic is Xiao Ran.

Lingzhou Yue pouted.

"So, you brought the Saint Demon Sect's prodigy here, wanting to spar with my disciple and prove that your judgment is more insightful than mine?"

Qiu Renjun shook his head and smiled.

"Junior Nephew Lu is about to break through, but he has no suitable sword. His sword heart is unstable. I have heard that the Sword Tomb of Zongzhi Mountain is a holy place for Sword-Wielder, so I brought my junior nephew here, hoping to borrow this precious place to Sword Succession and fulfill his wish."

Lingzhou Yue stood with her hands on her chest, her voice as Hanging Moon Solemnity, yet also revealing the languor of a drunkard.

"Aren't swords free?"

Qiu Renjun instructed Zi Teng Nu to retrieve a golden storage bag, which he then handed to Huangfu Qun.

"This is an ancient Immortal Crystal. Although it is somewhat damaged, it is not a common item."

It doesn't even count!

Are there still any Immortal Crystal these days?

Lingzhou Yue grabbed the storage bag from afar and her eyes lit up when she looked at it.

This is real! This is genuine Immortal Crystal! Just as Lingzhou Yue was about to put it in her possession, Huangfu Qun took the Immortal Crystal away.

Huangfu Qun hurriedly said, "Qiu Ren Brother Qiu Ren, you're too kind. The five major sects are all brother sects, there's no need to spend money on such a small matter."

Despite saying that, the Immortal Crystal had already silently bent down and been confiscated.

With so many people around, even the thick-skinned Lingzhou Yue was too embarrassed to try and snatch the Immortal Crystal.

Qiu Renjun nodded slightly, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Ran.

"It seems that this swordsman is the newly appointed Dao Alliance prodigy, Junior Nephew Xiao Ran."

Xiao Ran had never liked the cunning old fox character, so he simply bowed calmly.

"Greetings, Senior Qiu Ren."

Qiu Renjun didn't use his divine sense to examine Xiao Ran; he only glanced at him with his naked eyes and said:

"To have such a remarkable talent at such a young age, the Dao Alliance has not misjudged him."

The usual routine.

The more I praise you now, the harder I'll beat you later.

Xiao Ran wasn't buying it.

Mutual flattery is the way to go! "I'm still far from being as good as Senior Brother Lu."

When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. Lu Pingtian, who had been holding back his attention from Xiao Ran, finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Ran's clear and innocent eyes.

"Senior Brother Lu was really fooled by you. He searched for you for three whole days in Chaos City but couldn't find you. When it comes to deception, Senior Brother is far inferior to Junior Brother."

Xiao Ran smiled.

"After all, I wouldn't lie to a child."

Subtext: You even lie to children, how can you expect to amount to anything? Lu Pingtian endured it.

No matter how angry he was inside, he would put his hands on his chest and look indifferent.

Qiu Renjun:

"The title of 'genius' is well-deserved for Junior Nephew Xiao, and he is certainly worthy of it. However, there is no need to have too high expectations for the Heaven's Chosen Assembly. In the end, it is nothing more than a trick by the Dao Alliance."

Xiao Ran was stunned.

Is this old man badmouthing Dao Alliance in front of everyone? Is he trying to show off his powerful background?

Huangfu Qun was also surprised.

"Why do you say that, Brother Qiu Ren?"

Qiu Renjun, with his hands behind his back, said:

"The Heaven's Chosen Assembly is merely a way for the Dao Alliance to win over young geniuses and weaken the strength of the Five Sects. The Dao Alliance's next step is to merge the Five Sects."

Huangfu Qun knew what was going on, and deliberately asked, "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Qiu Ren?"

Qiu Renjun gently shook his head.

"Although I was once a member of the Dao Alliance, I can't stand the behavior of those young people now. Their monopolistic Cultivation World will only hasten its destruction."

"What brilliant ideas does Senior Brother Qiu Ren have?"

"The Saint Demon Sect's ambition is not to cultivate prodigies, but to give your sect a warning. On this matter, our five sects must form a united front. If one sect yields, the whole game will be lost."

The old man's words sounded very righteous, and if Xiao Ran hadn't seen the fighting spirit in Lu Pingtian's eyes, Xiao Ran have almost believed him.

In his view, this old man was a typical two-faced person with amazing methods and an indecisive attitude, even more cunning than Huangfu Qun.

He speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language. When he met Huangfu Qun, he talked about the Dao Alliance merging with the five sects to form a united front. He was so slippery that he was completely unlike a traditional demonic sect member.

Of course, without such people, the Demonic Sect would have been gone long ago.

Huangfu Qun respectfully clasped his hands in greeting once again.

"That's how it should be."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qiu Renjun glanced around symbolically and asked in a casual tone:

"By the way, where is Junior Sister Silver Moon?"

Lingzhou Yue glanced at the old man, remembering that the old man had always secretly loved her Master.

"Still thinking about it? There are so many handsome men and beautiful women on Sword-Wielding Mountain, why would it be your turn, an old man?"

Qiu Renjun's face stiffened, turning even paler.

The woman with purple vines standing to the side picked up the conversation.

"Ling Zhou, you are even more obsessed with demonic possession than the people of the Demonic Sect."

Lingzhou Yue tilted his head back and drank, not caring at all about such a trivial matter.

"If they've all been whitewashed, can they still be called the Demonic Sect? Sooner or later, everyone will be a lackey of the Dao Alliance. What's the difference between the righteous and the demonic paths anymore?"

The two Dao Alliance Deacon exclaimed that they were experts!

Her wisteria vines swayed and contracted, revealing her slender figure. The wisteria maiden, her eyes alluring, said:

"Junior Sister is still so straightforward. No wonder Elder Yinyue likes her."

Lingzhou Yue was too busy drinking to pay any more attention to her.

Lu Pingtian looked up at the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array, feeling that something was amiss.

"The formation has been repaired and reinforced... Has your sect encountered the Wraith?"

Master Boyun had a stern, effeminate face, exuding an imposing aura as if she were looking down at Lu Pingtian.

"Why not? After the Flamefree City incident, the sect naturally needs to reinforce the formation."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Huangfu Qun quickly said:

"You must be tired from your journey. I apologize for not greeting you properly. Please take a seat, have some tea, and let's talk in detail."

The group then arrived at the Affairs Pavilion.

Top floor reception room.

Serve tea.

After finishing their tea and exchanging a few pleasantries, Qiu Renjun brought up the matter of Flamefree City again.

"Who would have thought that the legend of the ancient Demonic Dragon was actually true? It was only because Elder Lingzhou was there that three million people of dawn were rescued from the mouths of the underworld and the dragon."

Lingzhou Yue sat on a large mahogany chair, facing Qiu Renjun in a confrontation.

"If you have a prodigy disciple, you can do it too."

Xiao Ran seemed to see in his Master's mind: Beloved Disciple Value +1...

Zi Teng Nu Dao:

"Next, the Dao Alliance will organize a dragon-hunting team. I suppose Ling Zhou will also participate, right?"

Lingzhou Yue didn't care and continued drinking, saying, "I've already lured out the Demonic Dragon, and you still want me to catch it? The future of the Cultivation World belongs to the young people, let them do it."

Xiao Ran Lu Pingtian looked at each other from a distance, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After drinking tea for a while, Huangfu Qun led the five members of the Saint Demon Sect on a tour of the sect before finally heading to the Sword Tomb.

We skipped the first two layers and went straight to the Sword Fence Layer on the mountainside.

Huangfu Qun understood that for a genius like Lu Pingtian, the first two levels were a complete waste of time.

Sword Fence Layer.

Wild grasses grew rampant, and nameless Broken Sword were stuck upside down in the ground.

Lu Pingtian did not step inside, but only looked at the four high-level sword layers of the Sword Tomb from afar.

He glanced at the ancient sword with his divine sense, and a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.

"Is the Saint Demon Sect's demonic sword not sharp enough? Why must my Senior Uncle force me to inherit another sect's sword and diminish our own prestige?"

"What did you say!"

Qiu Renjun's expression suddenly turned cold and stern.

"I personally fought for this opportunity for you, and now you're suddenly telling me you won't Sword Succession?"

Lu Pingtian shook his head, only saying contemptuously:

"Perhaps in ancient times, the Sword Tomb of Zongzhi Mountain were indeed powerful, but now these are the leftovers, what's there to inherit?"

Qiu Renjun's tone turned icy, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Do you want to go back to the sect and be locked up in confinement?"

Lu Pingtian, however, said nonchalantly, "Since Senior Uncle thinks the Sword Tomb of Zongzhi Mountain is powerful, why not let Xiao Tianjiao, who has already Sword Succession, compete with me in swordsmanship? Wouldn't it be obvious who is better? If I lose, I am willing to Sword Succession."

"You bastard!"

The Purple Vine Woman added fuel to the fire, and her wisteria blossoms briefly transformed into terrifying withered branches.

"Who is Xiao Tianjiao to challenge you?"

Xiao Ran smiled.

Your acting was quite realistic.

The characters are clearly defined, each with their own role, and the actors' performances are superb.

He was put on a pedestal with just a few words.

Furthermore, since the Immortal Crystal had already been acquired by Huangfu Qun and become sect assets, he had no choice but to fight.

But Xiao Ran had his own plans, so he cupped his hands and said, "What I inherited is only Broken Sword of no rank. My disciple Chuyan once personally inherited Profound-tier ancient sword. If you don't mind, how about she spar with Senior Brother Lu?"

Chuyan, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up, cupped her hands in a respectful bow to Lu Pingtian, and said:

"Junior Jiang Chuyan learn the sword technique from Master Uncle."

Lu Pingtian frowned slightly, then shook his head, turned his back, and spoke in a calm yet arrogant tone.

"I never spar with juniors."

You're still pretending!

Xiao Ran spread his hands.

"There are countless cultivators in the world, and only seven geniuses emerge in the Dao Alliance every five hundred years. You don't actually think that spending some Immortal Crystal gives you the right to fight me, do you?"

"You--"
