Nan Shiheng had visited a few times, but either she didn't see anyone or only saw Yu Qinghong. She genuinely didn't know her friend had taken in a new disciple, so she mistakenly assumed Chen Ganliu was a disciple sent by another True Lord of the Green Leaf Sect to visit Yun Susu.
Nan Shiheng actually felt very guilty. After all, her friend had come to help and was injured by a Great Demon, suffering from a lingering illness that was difficult to heal. Therefore, even though she herself was severely injured, she couldn't afford to go into seclusion to recuperate. She visited several times, even sending over all the healing Spirit Medicine from her own sect.
Chen Ganliu's entire body went cold.
A chill rose from his back, and he thought to himself, "It's over!"
"If Senior Sister catches me, she'll definitely kill me with a single sword strike, without even giving me a chance to explain."
Nan Shiheng felt a slight strangeness. She had merely called out casually, but this young Daoist priest didn't respond for a long time. She couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the various branches of the Green Leaf Sect hold some resentment towards me?"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Ganliu turned around helplessly and said indifferently, "Fairy Nan, I trust you are well."
Nan Shiheng, however, did not expect to encounter him. Her face changed drastically, and she shouted, "Little Demon, you still want to harm Susu? I will never allow it."
Nan Shiheng naturally couldn't have imagined that Chen Ganliu was now called Nan Sixing and was a second disciple under Yun Susu. She thought this little demon, unwilling to accept his master's expulsion and seeing the Immortal Encounter Sect's strict defenses, had come to the Green Leaf Sect to cause trouble. She immediately raised her hand, and a Golden Radiance spread across the sky, rolling towards him.
Chen Ganliu inwardly thought, "I'm going to die!"
He was only at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation, Boiling Liquid into Qi, while Nan Shiheng was already at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. If she weren't injured, she would be a prodigy of the Daoist sects on the verge of breaking through to the Spirit Embryo Realm. Resisting would be meaningless, so it was better not to resist.
Thinking that he would die at the hands of his former wife in this life, Chen Ganliu didn't harbor much resentment. After all, there was no affection between them now, and he had been framed by the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade, his identity as a Demonic Cultivator firmly established, making it difficult to even explain. He only felt a slight sense of wonder.
Seeing Chen Ganliu smile slightly and remain composed, Nan Shiheng inwardly became vigilant, thinking, "This little demon is hiding his true strength. He might have some tricks up his sleeve. I must not be careless."
Just as the Golden Radiance was about to strike him, a black light descended from high above, blocking Nan Shiheng's spell. A delicate voice shouted, "Stop hurting people."
Another hand of green energy descended, seizing Chen Ganliu, and flew back towards the sky.
Although Nan Shiheng was slightly startled, she also felt relieved. She raised her voice and shouted, "Fellow Daoists of the Green Leaf Sect, be careful! A demon has infiltrated the mountain."
Jiang Ningxue used her magic to resist Nan Shiheng, while Xie Zhanrou used her magic to capture Chen Ganliu. The two women exchanged glances, their faces filled with joy, and said, "We've arrived at just the right time today. Our luck is good."
The two women were ordered by their master to bring Chen Ganliu back to Three Saints Island overseas, but they dared not storm the mountain. After all, although the Green Leaf Sect was not as powerful as the Immortal Encounter Sect, it still had cultivators in the Spirit Embryo Realm and many disciples in the Golden Core Realm. The two could only occasionally come here to see if they were lucky enough to encounter Chen Ganliu.
Coincidentally, Chen Ganliu had recently served as an examiner at the Myriad Talisman Tower and had been in seclusion since returning, not venturing out. The two women had come several times but hadn't seen the boy.
Today, however, was perfect. After capturing Chen Ganliu, the two women didn't want to get entangled with Nan Shiheng. After all, the Green Leaf Sect had countless powerful cultivators. If they alarmed them, it might be difficult for the two to escape.
Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou's Escape Lights merged into one, transforming into a terrifying black energy that pierced the clouds, and they flew far away in an instant.
Although Nan Shiheng wanted to pursue them, she feared it was a feint to lure her away. If she chased after them and then turned back, a Demonic Cultivator might sneak into the cave dwelling and kill Yun Susu, which would be a betrayal of her friend. Therefore, despite stamping her foot and her pretty face turning ashen with anger, she didn't pursue them. Instead, she guarded her friend's Dragon Cloud Cave, ready for battle.
Chen Ganliu looked down, feeling stifled. Firstly, being captured by Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou in front of Senior Sister further solidified his identity as a Demonic Cultivator. Secondly, he worried that he couldn't escape this calamity this time.
"I'm just a small carrot at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation. Why won't these two demonesses let me go?"
"They want that blade. They can take it. Although I also envy having a Flying Sword, and being able to travel through the heavens and earth after cultivating sword techniques in the future, I don't need it now. Moreover, it will bring about the danger of being killed."
Chen Ganliu was dejected and remained silent the entire way.
Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou had been living in Blazing Light Cave, Twin Cloud Mountain for some time, but since they had captured Chen Ganliu, they didn't plan on returning.
Two streams of green light soared into the sky, circled for a moment, and then descended again.
The art of flight could cover a thousand miles in an instant. The two women had left a moment earlier, and the cultivators of the Green Leaf Sect were a step behind. Even if their cultivation was a layer higher, they couldn't catch up.
Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou flew for a day and landed on a mountaintop. The two women asked with smiles, "Did you enjoy your time at the Green Leaf Sect?"
Chen Ganliu didn't know how to answer without angering the two demonesses, so he could only hum and say, "It was alright."
Jiang Ningxue said indifferently, "You don't need to be afraid. My sister and I brought you out because we have something to ask you. Are you willing to become my master's disciple?"
"If you are willing, we will take you back. If you are not willing, I will kill you on this mountain. Look, the scenery here is beautiful and pleasant, it shouldn't be too boring."
Chen Ganliu didn't even consider it and immediately agreed, "I am willing to become a disciple."
Ordinary people might have some prejudice, thinking that becoming a disciple of a Demonic Sect was a form of degradation. He was from Earth, had lived three lives, and cultivated for two lifetimes. He didn't have such stubborn views.
As long as he could cultivate, he wouldn't refuse even if he had to become a demonic cultivator.
Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou laughed together, "From today onwards, you shall call us Senior Sister."
"Since you are our junior brother, you don't need to be afraid. Your senior sisters won't use you to forge any magic treasures."
Chen Ganliu knew his aptitude was very poor and couldn't understand why a Great Demon would take an interest in him. However, since they were willing to accept him as a disciple, they wouldn't kill him. He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing his two senior sisters' words, his heart tightened again. He chuckled awkwardly, "My cultivation is too low, I'm afraid I'm not suitable for forging high-quality magic treasures. It would be better to wait a few more years until my cultivation is higher before I can be of great use."
Jiang Ningxue smiled and said, "We're not teasing you. Our lineage is the Orthodox Heavenly Demon Sect. We don't practice those inferior demonic arts."
She turned to Xie Zhanrou and asked, "Shall we return to Three Saints Island first, or go play somewhere else?"
The two women had become disciples of Yao Hanshan and had always cultivated overseas. This was their first time on the mainland. Seeing the prosperity everywhere, they were a little reluctant to leave. Since their master hadn't set a return date, they couldn't help but indulge in a bit of playfulness.
Chen Ganliu thought of Qiu Sheng's matter and inwardly mused, "I originally thought that once my cultivation was higher, I would ask Sister Qiu Sheng to help me through her connections to go to Plum Blossom Mountain. Since there are two senior sisters here now, why not let them take me?"
