After flying for a long time, they finally entered the territory of Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain's peaks soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist.
"Oh right, Little Yueyue, isn't your Tu Shan fox clan a hidden sect? Why are you on Pingding Mountain?" Shi Yu asked.
"Sigh..."
"The Demon Clan's Demon Saint is pressuring our Tu Shan fox clan, forcing us to join the Demon Clan. We naturally refused,"
"Our clan leader once went to Zixiao Palace to hear the Dao and knew that Kunlun Mountain's Sanqing had a feud with the Demon Clan's Tai Yi and Di Jun. So, he wanted to send me to seek aid, but I couldn't find Kunlun Mountain..." Tu Shan Yue's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"So you stumbled onto Pingding Mountain?"
"Don't you know that the mountains and rivers of the Primordial World all have true names? You can receive guidance by silently chanting them?"
Tu Shan Yue nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Her clan leader hadn't mentioned that the mountains and rivers of the Primordial World had true names!
As they spoke, Shi Yu led Tu Shan Yue, along with Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, back to the thatched courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, several unfamiliar faces were already present. These individuals had extraordinary auras, wore Daoist robes, and their gazes were sharp.
The person leading them had a youthful face despite his white hair, held a whisk in his hand, and his eyes held a scrutinizing look. He spoke, "Who goes there?"
"Fellow Daoist, isn't that question a bit redundant?"
"This is my home. Shouldn't I be the one asking that?"
Shi Yu beckoned, and the Cloud Void Water Fan appeared in his hand, ready for action at any moment.
This was simply unbelievable. So many strangers had appeared in the sacred grounds of Kunlun Mountain's Sanqing.
Upon hearing this, the strangers turned towards Shi Yu in unison, bowed, and said together:
"Greetings, Senior Disciple Brother!"
Looking at the group bowing to him, Shi Yu was astonished and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why do you call me Senior Disciple Brother?"
The elder with white hair and a youthful face respectfully replied, "Senior Brother, you may not know, but we are the new disciples accepted by Master. Master once said that whoever wields a fan-shaped Spiritual Treasure is our Senior Disciple Brother."
Shi Yu was shocked and pondered the reason behind this. Meanwhile, Tu Shan Yue curiously observed everyone, while Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao hid to the side and chuckled.
"Alright then, is your Master my Martial Uncle?"
Shi Yu asked. Given his Master's personality, he wouldn't take disciples unless absolutely necessary.
"I am a disciple of Yuqing Yuanshi!"
"Senior Brother, you can just call me Junior Disciple Brother Nanji!" the elder with white hair and a youthful face said with a smile.
"What the heck, you look older than me, and you're calling me Senior Brother..."
"Ah, Senior Brother, that's not quite right. You are the chief disciple of the Eldest Martial Uncle, so I naturally must address you as Senior Disciple Brother." Immortal Official Nanji stroked his beard.
"Senior Disciple Brother, I am Duobao!"
Daoist Duobao wore a splendid, shimmering Daoist robe, a tall crown on his head, and was portly. As expected of the first Duobao rat in existence, he looked like a person blessed with fortune.
After everyone introduced themselves, apart from a few disciples taken in by Martial Uncle Yuanshi, the rest were disciples of Martial Uncle Tongtian. The Intercepting Sect, with its myriad of attendees, was already taking shape.
Shi Yu looked around as if searching for something. The junior disciples didn't know what their Senior Disciple Brother was up to.
Looking at the exclusively rough-looking men, Shi Yu pouted and thought to himself:
"Aren't there any Junior Disciple Sisters?"
"Didn't I remind them before my Master and my two Martial Uncles departed to find me some Junior Disciple Sisters..."
Shi Yu felt a bit helpless. If his Martial Uncles had taken in a few beautiful Junior Disciple Sisters, it would have been nice to look at.
"Huh?"
"Fellow Daoist, what was your name again?"
Amidst the crowd of junior disciples, Shi Yu suddenly noticed a "Junior Disciple Sister" with a beautiful face, a graceful demeanor, and a delicate lotus crown.
"Senior Brother, I am Cihang!"
"Oh, never mind then..."
Just then, three familiar auras swept over them, and three beams of immortal light appeared in the courtyard.
"Shi Yu, how was your long journey? Did you gain much knowledge?" Taiqing said as he looked at Shi Yu.
"Master, the Primordial World's waters are truly deep. I almost didn't make it back and was nearly killed by the Demon Clan's Demon Saint!"
"I've realized the Primordial World is perilous, and human hearts are unpredictable!"
Shi Yu sighed heavily. After clashing with Shangyang Demon Saint, he understood what being crushed meant. A Quasi-Saint could deal with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal as if playing a game, even with a supreme treasure protecting him...
"The Demon Clan, how dare they! Do they think no one is here at Kunlun Mountain?" Tongtian frowned, and fierce sword energy erupted from him.
"Eldest Martial Nephew, rest assured, your Second Martial Uncle will get an explanation from the Demon Clan regarding this matter!" Yuanshi said.
Taiqing looked at Shi Yu and nodded heavily. It seemed his disciple hadn't come back without making any progress.
"By the way, Shi Yu, who are those three people?"
Taiqing gestured towards Tu Shan Yue, Golden Horn, and Silver Horn. The three of them had returned with Shi Yu.
"Master, aren't you tired from refining pills? I specifically found two attendants for you, to help you with the furnace, fanning the flames, and such!"
Shi Yu shot Golden Horn and Silver Horn a look. The two of them quickly ran to Taiqing's side and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Master! I am Golden Horn, and this is my younger brother, Silver Horn. We are the attendants the Young Master found for you!"
Taiqing looked at the two attendants and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he looked at Shi Yu and said with a smile, "If they do your work, can you slack off?"
Seeing his little plan exposed by his master, Shi Yu remained unfazed, "Not at all, not at all. I'm just showing concern for Master!"
"Besides, once I become the Senior Disciple Brother, my responsibilities will be great. I won't be able to multitask!"
Taiqing raised his hand and gently tapped Shi Yu on the head. This disciple of his was good in every way, except for being too lazy...
"And who is this?"
Taiqing pointed to Tu Shan Yue, who had been hiding behind Shi Yu the whole time.
"I know, the Senior Disciple Brother has grown up and found a Dao Companion!" Tongtian said, as if he had seen through everything.
"Oh, Martial Uncle, can you stop causing trouble..."
"I'm still just a child!"
To prevent Tongtian from speaking further nonsense, Shi Yu quickly added, "Master, this is Tu Shan Yue, from the Tu Shan Fox Clan."
"Her clan was forced by the Demon Clan's Demon Saint to join them. She came to Kunlun Mountain for help and accidentally followed me back."
Taiqing frowned slightly and sized up Tu Shan Yue. "The Tu Shan Fox Clan... This matter is quite involved..."
Yuanshi also nodded in agreement, "Senior Disciple Brother, we cannot stand idly by in this matter."
Then Yuanshi added, "However, Tu Shan Yue's identity needs to be further verified, to prevent her from being used by the Demon Clan."
Tongtian snorted, "The Demon Clan is so arrogant, actually trying to force other clans. If we don't teach them a lesson, won't the Primordial World fall into chaos in the future!"
"Moreover, they even put our Senior Disciple Brother in danger. Senior Disciple Brother, can you tolerate this?"
"I can't tolerate it one bit, Martial Uncle!"
"If I could defeat the Demon Saint, I would have already exploded her!"
"Spirited! As expected of my Martial Nephew!"
Tongtian nodded. This was his good Martial Nephew. He then said to Duobao, "Call Wudang and Jin Ling!"
"I will take you out for some training!"
After speaking, Duobao transformed into a golden light and fled, flying towards the Green Waters Palace on Shangqing Peak behind the thatched courtyard.
Then, Tongtian waved his hand, and a verdant sword light flew out from his room, transforming into the Qingping Sword.
A moment later, Duobao was followed by two female immortals. One wore a green daoist robe and a lotus crown, holding a whisk, appearing very solemn and divine.
The other wore a golden daoist robe, a magnificent coronet, and possessed heroic eyebrows and a straight nose.
"Senior Disciple Brother, I am Jin Ling!"
"Senior Disciple Brother, I am Wudang!"
The two junior sisters bowed to Shi Yu, then went behind Tongtian.
"Come, come, Junior Sisters~"
"Senior Brother is a poor ghost. Consider these as gifts!" Shi Yu waved his hand, and two gourds filled with specially made pills flew into Wudang and Jin Ling's hands.
"Hehe, thank you, Senior Disciple Brother~"
"Senior Disciple Brother Shi Yu, don't be biased. Why only give to the junior sisters? What about us junior brothers?"
"The bond between us brothers is stronger than gold!" Duobao said with a smile.
"That's right, Senior Disciple Brother Shi Yu. Better to have few than unequal distribution!" Guang Chengzi said.
"Alright, alright, I'll give them, I'll give them, okay!"
Shi Yu took off the purple gourd from his waist, and many gourds of pills flew out, one for each person.
"Hahaha, thank you, Senior Disciple Brother!"
All the junior brothers said in unison, with smiles on their faces. It seemed this Senior Disciple Brother wasn't too bad.
