Shangguan Yu
"Hey, so this is the high-ranking member of the Immortal Cult you captured?"
A voice suddenly came from behind Lu Yang, startling him. He turned around and saw it was the young girl Shangguan Yu.
"Why would he give up a perfectly good barbecue restaurant to join the Demonic Sect?" Shangguan Yu shook his head, savoring the taste of the skewers, and felt sorry for these people.
"In short, your Ask Dao Sect a good job. You caught a big shot. It's been so many years since we've caught such an important figure. I hope you can get any useful information out of him."
Shangguan Yu smiled and patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, "I think you were born to be a member of the Ask Dao Sect. Keep up the good work! I have high hopes for you. Maybe you can even surpass the Silent Daoist in the future!"
Yun Zhi chimed in, "Of course he can surpass his master."
Shangguan Yu scratched her head. What she actually wanted to say was that Lu Yang's imagination could surpass that of the Silent Daoist. Had Xiaoyun misunderstood something?
Forget it, I won't explain anymore, it's too much trouble.
Just as Lu Yang was about to say something, Shangguan Yu vanished into thin air, using some unknown means.
On the stands, the Grand Elder reassured everyone, "Don't be nervous, everyone. It's just a few Body Integration Realm attacking us with magical treasures. It's nothing serious."
The Grand Elder had an expression that said, "This is a very common thing in our Ask Dao Sect," "Your Five Elements Sect has never seen anything like this before," and "This kind of person can't even cause a ripple here."
Qiu Jin'an was certain that this grandson was showing off to him.
A demonic cultivator in the Body Integration Realm launching a sneak attack with a celestial treasure—if this happened at the Five Elements Sect, they would be on high alert. Unlike the Ask Dao Sect, they still have the leisure to play around with others.
You guys have such big hearts!
"The Immortal Cult?" Qiu Jin'an remembered that Yun Zhi knew some secrets about the Immortal Cult and must have some clues.
A Nascent Soul cultivator! In the Body Integration Realm, that's definitely at the level of a vice-leader. The Ask Dao Sect has caught a big fish this time.
Qiu Jinan was very envious. If he were to dig deeper into this big fish, he was sure he could dig up a lot of good stuff.
Why does the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect always seem to get such good fortune?
"Indeed," the Grand Elder replied in a refined manner.
Qiu Jin'an suppressed the urge to beat the Grand Elder and suggested, "The Five Great Immortal Sects are united against a common enemy. What information do you gather? Please let us know."
The First Elder calmly replied, "That's easy to say. As long as you voluntarily admit that your Five Elements Sect is inferior to the Ask Dao Sect, and become our Ask Dao Sect's junior brother, we, as the elder brothers, will definitely tell you all the information we have."
"Qin Jiunian, don't push your luck! Among the nine disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, I can only defeat the Silent Daoist!"
Qiu Jinan slammed his hand on the table, stretched his body, and his bones creaked as they connected.
The First Elder sneered and snapped his fingers. The Second to Eighth Elders appeared behind him, standing out like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Qiu Jin'an sensed a suffocatingly terrifying aura— the Sixth Elder was here.
The elder revealed a smug smile, but before he could say anything, he found himself unable to utter a single word.
He helplessly transmitted his voice to the Sixth Elder: "Sixth Junior Sister, when will you be able to control your immortal body?"
The Sixth Elder rolled his eyes. "Be content. Of all the Immaculate Immortal Bodies in history, I have the best control over them. The last recorded Immaculate Immortal Bodies was Chi Qianqian. After she reached the Body Integration Realm, she automatically rejected the surrounding Spiritual Qi, causing her to give up cultivation altogether."
Clearly, the immortal body has its drawbacks.
After the Sixth Elder's actions, the First Elder lost the mood to mock Qiu Jin'an.
The Sixth Elder tactfully left; the closing ceremony wasn't over yet, and she had stayed there the whole time, preventing the First Elder and Qiu Jin'an from even reading the closing remarks.
In the contest between the Five Elements Sect and the Ask Dao Sect, the Five Elements Sect suffered a crushing defeat, barely winning a single match.
The disciples of the Five Elements Sect are not delicate flowers in a greenhouse. They have done a lot of things to exorcise demons and monsters, and they have also mingled in the streets to complete missions. They have rich combat experience and knowledge.
But they had never seen the Ask Dao Sect fight like this before; it was too unexpected, and they couldn't use any of their experience.
The matches in which the Ask Dao Sect lost were also Ask Dao Sect disciples intermittently experiencing fits of madness.
For example, in a Golden Core stage competition, the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect started off very fiercely, which was completely different from their usual impression. Just when the disciples of the Five Elements Sect were about to be overwhelmed, the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect suddenly collapsed from exhaustion.
On his deathbed, he told the referee, "This is a do-or-die battle... I took a poison pill before the match... It took effect in five minutes... I took the antidote after I stepped off the stage... If I can't defeat my opponent within five minutes... I will surely die... I... I'm dying... I so wanted to win..."
Seeing that the man was about to die and that he didn't have the antidote with him, the referee quickly pulled out two identical poison pills, extending his life by ten minutes, and went outside to find the antidote to revive him.
After the two finished reciting their closing remarks with feigned sentimentality, they bid each other a reluctant farewell. It was clear that the Five Great Immortal Sects shared a deep bond, contrary to the rumors circulating outside that the Ask Dao Sect had isolated the four major immortal sects.
"Haha, Sect Master Qiu, please Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect often in the future!"
"Definitely, definitely. I'll definitely come back to the Ask Dao Sect for more knowledge when I have the chance."
Both of them cursed inwardly at the same time, "At least we don't have to see that old bastard again."
The Second Elder spoke sincerely to Shangguan Yu: "If you are bullied in the Five Elements Sect, come find me. I've watched Qiu Jin'an grow up since he was a child. He looks serious, but he's actually cunning. Don't be fooled by him!"
Shangguan Yu chuckled and said that Qiu Jin'an wouldn't dare to lie to her.
The Second Elder was heartbroken, saying that you were too naive to be deceived by Qiu Jin'an.
Qiu Jinan stood between the two, his face so dark it could drip water. "Ba Lao Er, I told you, stay away from her!"
The Second Elder said nonchalantly, "Don't try to scare me. It's rumored that Shangguan Yu is your half-sister. I've heard the rumors, and your father only has one son, you don't have any sisters at all."
"We've known each other since we were kids, we all know each other. You don't have a fiancée, so Shangguan Yu has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to stop me!"
Qiu Jinan flew into a rage. "She's my mother!"
The second elder, his neck stiff, retorted, "Even if she's your mother... Huh? What did you say?"
The Second Elder instinctively retorted to Qiu Jin'an, but realized something was wrong halfway through his shout.
How come I ended up with a mother while dating a girlfriend?
The elder and the others quietly took a few steps back. Perhaps because they had been beaten too many times since childhood, they had an instinctive awe of the previous generation and an urge to stay away from them.
The disciples of the Five Elements Sect reacted more strongly than those of the Ask Dao Sect, and one of the five great mysteries of the Five Elements Sect was finally solved.
"No wonder the cultivation world says you can't judge someone's age by their appearance, it's so true!"
"I remember someone came to propose marriage, and the Sect Master kicked them out with a dark face. At the time, I thought it was because he was a sister-obsessed brother, but I never expected the reason to be like this."
Qiu Jinan then turned to Shangguan Yu, who was watching the spectacle with a hint of despair, and said, "Mom, you too, you can't just pretend to be young by deliberately hiding your identity. Do you know how many misunderstandings this has caused?"
Shangguan Yu felt her son was very unfilial. "How is that pretending to be young? Aren't I only eighteen? Besides, what's wrong with me pretending to be your sister? Your father has already agreed!"
"The grass on my dad's grave is taller than me! Did he appear in your dream?"
