An Unwelcome Guest Arrives at the Mountain

The more Fang Shu asked, the more flustered the Chu Household and son looked.

Mr. Chu, in particular, seemed hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask Fang Shu what he was trying to do, but was also concerned about his own status and unsure whether he should bring it up.

Once Fang Shu had a better understanding, he smiled and said, "Although it's a pledge of allegiance, there's no rush. We are both practitioners of the immortal path, and our interactions will continue for a long time."

He picked up his teacup, gesturing as if to see the guest off.

Although Old Master Chu did not know whether Fang Shu intended to commit a heinous act, Fang Shu that Fang Shu had not mentioned directly involving the Chu Household, and on the contrary, had been quite considerate, without even mentioning any intention to pledge allegiance.

The man felt greatly relieved and couldn't help but express his gratitude to Fang Shu.

Immediately, Mr. Chu was about to pull Chu Qingxuan to Fang Shu before slowly retreating.

However, Chu Qingxuan stood in the Private Room with a conflicted expression on her face. She seemed unwilling to leave, but rather wanted to stay by Fang Shu's side and participate.

Fang Shu also noticed this. He didn't say anything, but instead stroked his teacup, watching the woman with interest, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Let's go!" At this moment, Old Master Chu's words rang in Chu Qingxuan's ears, transmitted in a secret voice. "We have done enough today. No matter how wealthy True Disciple Fang in the future, the Chu Household will always have a place. But it is not advisable to get involved any more now, otherwise—if the situation really turns bad, what will become of the vast Chu Household?"

Chu Qingxuan could even detect a hint of pleading in the transmitted voice.

It should be noted that she had never sensed such tenderness in her own ancestor. Whether it was during his seclusion to undergo tribulation or after his defeat, her ancestor always appeared calm, merely melancholy.

In an instant, the word "old" appeared in Chu Qingxuan's mind.

She stared blankly at her ancestor's white hair and beard, his face aged and frail, and felt a pang of sadness. The spirit she had just displayed vanished instantly.

Seeing that Chu Qingxuan did not step forward again, the old man Chu promptly pulled her to his side.

"True Disciple Fang for your guidance today."

After exchanging respectful greetings, the man led Chu Qingxuan out of the Private Room.

After the two disappeared, Fang Shu put down his teacup, without sighing, but gently shook his head.

Indeed, it's best not to provoke Lineage like this, which has fallen into decline yet still carries the Immortal cultivator of the entire clan.

Otherwise, it would not only make things difficult for them, but also be irresponsible to oneself, doing more harm than good.

Such people can be used as tools or friends, but not as companions.

This was also a major reason why Fang Shu had politely declined the Chu Household's offer of their daughter.

After exhaling in one breath, Fang Shu also stood up abruptly.

He completely cast aside his previous distracting thoughts, and with a sway of his body, he left the Private Room, transforming into a streak of crimson-golden Golden Light and rushing straight towards the location of the Profound Altar.

Having already learned the intricacies of the Profound Teaching Sect, and having secretly calculated it, he was certain that the Chu Household patriarch had not deceived him.

So naturally, he would go to their door in a dignified manner, first to ask for their own family's True Disciple land, and then to ask for the Ancestral Altar quota!

Whoosh, whoosh.

The Fang Shu flowed into the Profound Altar, reaching directly into the council hall where they had visited before.

The hall was empty today, but immediately a guardian Immortal cultivator came forward to inquire what Fang Shu was doing.

Fang Shu remained calm. "I've troubled you to inform me that more than half a month has passed. I've come to take over Yunzhong Mountain, which is under my master's command, for the purpose of establishing my residence and moving here."

o

Although the guardian Immortal cultivator are only at the Foundation Establishment, those who can hold such a crucial position must have roots within the Profound Teaching.

Not bad.

Upon hearing Fang Shu's words, the other person's expression changed slightly, but he remained serious and did not utter a word. He did not dare to delay for even a moment. After bowing respectfully, he obediently went to inform the others.

As a result, Fang Shu Fang Shu in the hall for the time it takes to drink three cups of tea.

The guardian Immortal cultivator returned, drenched in sweat. Upon Fang Shu, his legs went weak, and he collapsed before Fang Shu, seemingly kneeling or crawling.

The man didn't get up, and continued, "Reporting to the True Disciple, it's unfortunate that four of the elders are in seclusion. Only Elder Yushan has just emerged from meditation and sent a message."

Fang Shu curiously, "Tell me, what were Elder Yushan's exact words?"

The guardian Immortal cultivator replied matter-of-factly, "Understood."

After the three words were spoken, the other party quickly added that these three words were Elder Yushan's original words.

Fang Shu, who had been looking relaxed, didn't get angry when he heard such nonsensical words. Instead, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Well said, 'I understand.'"

Then, Fang Shu stretched and said, "Now that you know, that's good."

He addressed the guardian Immortal cultivator before him, instructing, "Record every detail of my visit today, word for word, and file it in the records. Do not break the sect's rules."

"Yes, yes," the guardian Immortal cultivator quickly agreed.

When the other person looked up again, Fang Shu's figure had already transformed into a crimson light and vanished from his sight in an instant.

As soon as Fang Shu emerged from the Profound Altar, the crimson spiritual light surrounding him intensified, reaching a height of a thousand feet, standing brightly on the Profound Altar and attracting countless gazes.

Clang!

Fang Shu Fang Shu a long howl, looked around, and then rushed straight towards the location of Cloud Mountain.

"Who... who has emerged from seclusion?"

"Judging from his demeanor, his Law Power is considerable, but he's not one of those Core Formation cultivator within the sect—"

Discussions immediately broke out both inside and outside the church.

Among them were some astute Immortal cultivator who knew what had recently happened within the sect. Seeing Fang Shu's Sword Qi- wielding appearance, they immediately understood that Fang Shu's intentions were probably not good.

In a flash, someone on the scene immediately wrote a communication talisman to inform Cloud Mountain at once.

However, their communication talismans were not as fast as Fang Shu's escape light.

With just a few swaying motions, he appeared before a white mountain.

This mountain truly lives up to its name, "In the clouds." It is neither too close nor too far from the Profound Altar, but it is surrounded by many other mountains that seem to guard it. Moreover, it is completely shrouded in white clouds, making it resemble a snow-capped mountain.

Looking through the mountain mist, Fang Shu could actually see tangible traces of Spiritual Qi surging within it.

This place was so auspicious; it was truly the best he had ever seen in his life.

Even though he was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but admire it. Such a wonderful thing couldn't possibly be given to someone else.

Fang Shu leaped into the air and rushed straight towards the Cloud Mountain.

Buzz!

A barrier immediately blocked his way, and a rebuke echoed from the mountains, "Insolence! Where did this wild Immortal cultivator come from, daring to run wild here?"

Immediately, several angry-looking Immortal cultivator appeared within the Mountain-Guarding Formation, staring at Fang Shu with annoyance. It seemed that if Fang Shu couldn't give a coherent explanation, they would swarm forward and kill Fang Shu on the spot.

Despite seeing this scene, Fang Shu remained calm.

After all, Fang is here today to be an "unwelcome guest," and what he hates most is having to reason with others and waste his time.

Judging from the current state of Cloud Mountain, they have no intention of reasoning with him.

That's great, it makes things much simpler.

Fang Shu smiled, disregarding the Immortal cultivator in the mountains. With a flicker, he passed through the great formation of Cloud Mountain.

Clang! He snapped his fingers.

Several Golden Light flew from his fingertips, and with a flick of his fingers, these Golden Light darted across the mountainside, spreading across the entire landscape.
