The Liu Chengshang couple were immediately in a dilemma.
The eldest son went to the capital, the eldest daughter was married, and only the youngest son stayed by their side. How could the couple bear to part with him?
Madam Liu squatted down to be at eye level with her son.
"Xian'an, do you really want to cultivate immortality?"
Although Liu Xian'an was young, he could understand what was being said.
He shook his head decisively, "I want to stay with my father and mother."
Madam Liu's gaze warmed slightly.
Wen Zhixuan looked at his son beside him. Children love their parents unconditionally.
Wen Yicheng was like this, and so was Liu Xian'an.
Jiang Shumiao did not insist, for the most difficult thing to sever in worldly relationships is kinship.
Zhang Daowei asked, "Did Your Excellency go to the East Sea to foresee something unusual in the Immortal Realm?"
The immortal realm faces a calamity of survival that remains unresolved to this day.
"no."
Jiang Shumiao saw through the thoughts of these disciples of the immortal sects and shook her head to reassure them, "It's a personal matter. You don't need to follow me anymore. Although the demons that have possessed human bodies have all been caught, there's no guarantee that other demons won't follow suit. Moreover, in the current situation, demons have been forced to have no space to survive, and they will definitely cause trouble again. As disciples of the immortal sects, you should take it as your duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."
Zhang Daowei and Ling Quchen, along with their disciples, clasped their hands in a fist salute, "Yes."
So the group parted ways.
The disciples of the immortal sects were scattered across various places to exorcise demons, while Jiang Shumiao led the others to the East Sea.
Wen Zhixuan roughly guessed what she was going to do.
"You're looking for the Dragon King?"
Yesterday, the Jiao Yao said that the Dragon Clan had been stripped of its divine status by the God Clan. Jiang Shumiao was obviously unaware of this, and now he probably wants to ask the Dragon King about it.
"Um."
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Shumiao no longer hides anything.
She stood on her natal sword, flying against the wind, her face solemn and distant.
Wen Zhixuan, unusually curious, asked, "What old grudge do you have with the Dragon Prince?"
Upon hearing this, the other demons all turned their heads to look.
Even Fuqu, who had been by Jiang Shumiao's side the longest, was somewhat shocked to learn that her master must have an incredibly powerful identity.
The words the dragon demon spoke yesterday still echoed in my ears.
Wen Zhixuan asked this question, is there anything you don't understand?
The one who slew the Demon Lord was the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable!
It was actually their own master!
Fuqu appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was screaming like a groundhog.
Ahhhhhh!
She pinched Asagi, her eyes burning with excitement.
Am I dreaming? Or am I hallucinating? The Azure Lotus Saint, the Demon Lord's master? Heavens…
Asagi pinched her back, with even more force.
Stay calm.
Calm my foot, she wants to scream too.
Jiang Shumiao suddenly turned her head, "You've been cultivating in my Qiankun Sleeve for so long, what are you whispering to me in front of me?"
The two immediately severed their spiritual communication, pretending to be obedient as if it were real.
Bai Min couldn't help but chuckle.
He said, "Mortals have always called you a goddess, but they do not know your true face. Now that we have heard of it, we are truly shocked."
Fuqu and Qianli nodded in unison.
What's this?
Wen Zhixuan, the only one who guessed Jiang Shumiao's true origins, remained truly calm.
If these demons knew that their master was a Chaos True God, they would probably be terrified.
Well, come to think of it, the Demon Lord was her disciple, and the Immortal Realm was also founded by the Demon Lord.
In other words, all of Zhang Daowei's disciples and grand-disciples were her students.
Wen Zhixuan recalled the scene when his son became an apprentice that day.
"In your presence, the Demon Lord forbade my son from entering the Immortal Sect. Such disobedience and rebellion are why he abandoned the light for darkness and even launched a war between gods and demons."
Jiang Shumiao: "..."
Fuqu remembered that her master had said he would not accept disciples, and immediately dared not utter a word.
This mortal is incredibly bold.
The words 'disobeying and defying authority' truly pierced Jiang Shumiao's heart.
Switching to the demon race isn't really a stain; there are different paths in the world. The demonic path is devoid of thought, desire, and ambition; it is without birth, death, or order. In some ways, it is far purer than those hypocritical gods.
But the gods and demons have one thing in common.
Bloodline is paramount!
This is how mortals learn to inherit their bloodline.
Her disciple was born from a union between a human and a demon, a hybrid bloodline that the heavens and earth would not tolerate. However, Jiang Shumiao was extremely tolerant and fond of humans, so she took in this little brat with half-human blood and sheltered him under her wing.
As a result, the gods disliked her even more.
She didn't care.
As long as she has the power, no one can do anything to her.
The master and disciple later turned against each other because the war between gods and demons brought disaster to all living beings.
Otherwise, she wouldn't care about those lousy gods at all.
As for the disagreements with the dragon race...
You can't blame her even more.
Nuwa, being independent of the gods and wholeheartedly protecting the human race whom the gods disliked, had a rather unpleasant reputation.
The broken dragon called Nuwa the culprit of evil in front of her, which angered her. However, she remembered that Nuwa had sent her to the Heavenly Palace to study so that she could correct her willful and reckless ways, so she held back from attacking.
Unfortunately, the brat was ungrateful and refused to apologize, so after a few words, the two started fighting.
Since we've already started fighting, why show any mercy?
Finally, Bai Xiao reported the matter to the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor punished both sides equally, first reprimanding the Dragon King for his poor parenting and banishing them to the mortal realm to bring rain to the people. He then summoned the Goddess Nuwa and took her back.
The goddess Nuwa sent her to the mortal realm because she knew that Nuwa had a high tolerance for mortals and wouldn't act impulsively based on momentary anger or joy.
Who would have thought that with her sudden death, the Heavenly Emperor, now free of restraint, would immediately start bringing up old grievances.
