Great Sage Thousand Illusions

"No, the person who came is Chu Feng, the newly promoted Half-Saint of the Dao-Seeking Academy."

The Great Sage Demonic Chess spoke up, knowing full well how dissatisfied the man before him was with the one from the Dao-Seeking Academy.

"Um?"

Bai Tao looked at the four elders with suspicion and said in an incredulous tone, "The four of you, you were actually defeated by a mere Half-Saint who has just begun his career?"

well...

Great Sage Thunder Calligraphy sighed deeply, "Although it seems somewhat unbelievable to me now, we suffered a crushing defeat back then..."

He made no attempt to hide anything and told Bai Tao what had happened that day.

hiss...

Bai Tao's expression shifted from anger to confusion, and now to shock.

He naturally believed that the four elders would not go easy on him, after all, these four were known for their pride among the Qingqiu Fox Clan, which was why they were sent to guard the four passes.

"Now that you've mentioned it, I'd like to see that kid. As for my master, I'll go report to him immediately."

The Great Sage Demonic Chess said, "We have delivered the message. If you wish to see Fellow Daoist Chu, you can do so at any time."

Bai Tao nodded, then turned and walked towards the place where the Great Sage Thousand Illusions was in seclusion.

The four Great Sage did not linger and turned to leave.

After arriving in the village, Chu Feng spent his days exchanging ideas with the four Great Sage in turn, and his life was quite pleasant.

Seven days later.

The Great Sage Demonic Chess brought him good news: the Great Sage Thousand Illusions summoned him from his cave in the mountains.

Chu Feng agreed without hesitation and followed the four Great Sage to the cave of the Great Sage Thousand Illusions.

The Golden-Winged Eagle King, Bing Yan, and the others stayed in the courtyard to wait for Chu Feng.

A moment later.

Chu Feng and his group arrived outside the cave of the Great Sage Thousand Illusions. As soon as he landed, he felt a gaze watching him.

He followed the direction of the gaze and saw a handsome fox-man carefully examining him.

The Great Sage Demonic Chess then began the introductions. "Fellow Daoist Chu, this is Bai Tao, a disciple of the Great Sage Thousand Illusions, who can also be considered your senior brother."

Chu Feng is the old man's direct disciple, and the introduction by the Great Sage Demonic Chess is indeed flawless.

He stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Chu Feng greets Senior Brother Bai."

Bai Tao's face fell the moment he realized this guy was that man's disciple. "I can't accept that title of 'senior brother,' and besides, your strength is above mine."

Although he didn't give Chu Feng a friendly look, when he was sizing up Chu Feng just now, he found that this guy was unfathomable. He had only ever felt this way about his master.

Chu Feng still wore a smile. He didn't know what the old man had done to this kid before, but as a disciple, it wouldn't hurt to take the blame for his master.

The Great Sage Demonic Chess quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. "Bai Tao, the ancestor is still waiting, so don't throw a tantrum here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tao remembered his master's earlier instructions not to be rude to this person.

"Please."

"Senior brother, please." Chu Feng said with a smile.

The Great Sage Demonic Chess said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, we won't go in with you."

"Thank you for your help, seniors."

After saying that, Chu Feng followed behind Bai Tao.

A demon and a human, one in front and one behind, walked towards a seemingly ordinary mountain cave.

After passing through the cave entrance, Chu Feng discovered that there was a completely different world inside.

The entire cave was enveloped in ethereal energy, and melodious music could be heard from within.

Bai Tao whispered, "Kid, don't look around carelessly once you're inside, or you'll anger your master, and no one can save you then."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

As Chu Feng spoke, he looked around the scenery inside the cave. To his surprise, the decorations inside the cave were exactly the same as the old man's secluded cultivation place on the back mountain of Miaomiao Mountain.

hiss...

Was it the old man who came here, or Thousand Illusions —no, Master's wife—who went to Miaomiao Mountain?

They crossed a small arched bridge and soon arrived at a pavilion.

Chu Feng looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on a stone table playing the zither.

The moment he saw the beautiful woman, he bowed and said, "Disciple Chu Feng greets Master's Wife."

These words immediately enraged Bai Tao, who couldn't help but shout, "How dare you!"

"Tao'er, have you forgotten how I've always taught you?"

The beautiful woman in the pavilion reprimanded him in a light, airy tone.

"This disciple knows his mistake."

Bai Tao said this, but he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions waved his hand. "Tao'er, you can go down now."

"Promise."

Although Bai Tao didn't want to leave, he ultimately chose to obey his master's words.

Where is your master?

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions merely glanced at Chu Feng before speaking indifferently.

Chu Feng said, "He has passed away."

Upon hearing this, he instantly felt a terrifying pressure enveloping the entire cave.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The voice of the Great Sage Thousand Illusions was filled with boundless rage.

Chu Feng was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? Could it be that the person in front of him had turned from love to hate?

"Lift your head up."

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions ' tone turned utterly cold.

Chu Feng raised his head and looked directly at the Great Sage Thousand Illusions: "What are your orders, Master's wife?"

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions said, "You should know that there are no lies before Saint. I don't want to ask the same question a second time."

Chu Feng was stunned. "Master's wife, Master really went to a very, very far place. He also said that he probably would never see me again in this lifetime. I haven't seen him since the day after he said that. Master didn't pass away, could it be that he ascended to the heavens?"

Great Sage Thousand Illusions: "..."

Silence reigned throughout the cave. Great Sage Thousand Illusions did not try to read Chu Feng's mind, but she could tell that the little guy before her was not lying.

"Did he say anything before he said that?" the Great Sage Thousand Illusions asked.

Chu Feng tilted his head and thought for a moment, "No, he just told me to read more books, but unfortunately I read more than him, so I didn't continue reading."

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions then asked, "Who sent you to pick up Qianqian?"

"It's Dean Chu," Chu Feng replied truthfully.

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions said, "Very well, since it's his decision, then take Qianqian to the Dao-Seeking Academy in a few days. But you must promise me one thing."

Chu Feng: "Please speak, Master's wife."

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions continued, "Qianqian can go with you, but you must promise that before her Nirvana, she will not find a Daoist partner, nor will she break her primordial yin body."

Chu Feng found the request somewhat strange, but he still nodded. "No problem."

"Alright, you can go now."

The Great Sage Thousand Illusions waved his hand as he spoke.

"Madam, I take my leave."

After saying this, Chu Feng bowed to the Great Sage Thousand Illusions and then turned to leave.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when the voice of the Great Sage Thousand Illusions rang out behind him again. "By the way, next time you see your master, tell him not to hide anymore. Let bygones be bygones."

???

Chu Feng looked puzzled, but still replied, "Yes, Master's wife."
