"Senior brother."
Yan Qiubai's voice was unusually calm, as if he were stating a trivial matter unrelated to himself, yet it startled Qingxuan even more than his previous outburst of rage.
“You’re right. The sect’s fortune, its ten-thousand-year foundation, its tens of thousands of disciples… are all as heavy as mountains.”
His gaze passed over Qingxuan and landed in the direction where Yun Wan'er and Gu Xuanchen had fled. The place was now deserted, with only a mess of broken zither fragments remaining: "But these mountains have never been pressing down on me."
Yan Qiubai withdrew his gaze and returned it to Qing Xuan's suddenly pale face. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly upwards, but the curve was cold and devoid of any warmth: "The rules of the Tianyan Sect's Enforcement Hall can't govern them, fine."
"Then I'll govern with my own rules!"
...
Meanwhile, at the core of the Falling Star Marsh Secret Realm.
The dark jade pendant lay between Shen Zhaozhao's fingers, cool to the touch, and seemed to have a deep galaxy slowly flowing inside, clearly not an ordinary item.
"hiss?"
Murong Xiao, standing beside him, gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, glued to the jade pendant.
This thing... why does it look so familiar?
The patterns, the aura, the feeling—isn't this the Xuanqiong Star Jade that Immortal Venerable Moyuan always wore at his waist?
Before he was kicked out of reincarnation by his dog father, he had the good fortune to see it from afar once. Because the deep starry river in the jade pendant looked a lot like his brother's eyes, he was deeply impressed by it.
But how did this thing end up in my senior sister's hands?
Just as Shen Zhaozhao was about to flip her wrist and forcefully shove the treasure that could drive the entire Lingzhou mad into the earth's spiritual core, which was shrouded in terrifying spiritual energy and as volatile as a hedgehog ball—
"Senior sister, wait a minute!"
Murong Xiao was terrified. He lunged forward and grabbed Shen Zhaozhao's arm with all his might, yelling, "Do you know what this is?! What are you doing?!"
Shen Zhaozhao was pulled so hard that she almost dropped the jade pendant.
She turned her head irritably, looked at Murong Xiao's terrified little face, and instantly understood.
Oh, the little brat is scared.
I'm afraid this thing might be of dubious origin, and some big shot might come after me to settle scores.
Shen Zhaozhao immediately gave a reassuring smile, as if to say, "Don't worry, junior brother, this is a gift of 'care' personally given by our master. It's a genuine token of our sect's inheritance. Even if some ignorant big shot tries to cause trouble..."
She paused, her smile almost wickedly bright: "Then we'd have to go directly to our master and argue with him. Even if the sky falls, it won't hit us!"
Murong Xiao: "???"
Murong Xiao's pupils dilated in shock. Their master?
Is that the lunatic who named the sect "Unparalleled Handsome"?
How could that lunatic have Mo Yuan Immortal Venerable's personal belongings?
And can this thing just be "given" away so easily?!
If Immortal Venerable Mo Yuan knew that his personal jade pendant had been given away as a "secret token of his sect" by a madman from the lower realm... uh, wait a minute...
Murong Xiao's mind jumbled up suddenly. He remembered that when he was about to apply medicine to his brother, he had overheard Immortal Lord Yunji mentioning to his father that Immortal Venerable Moyuan had suddenly gone mad and insisted on descending to the mortal realm to "cultivate his mind and spirit"...
Hiss~
So, their lunatic sect leader just got incredibly lucky, finding him in some remote corner?
Having figured this out, Murong Xiao's fear faded considerably, replaced by a clear understanding, even tinged with a subtle schadenfreude.
Oh.
What "cultivating inner peace"? Immortal Mo Yuan was clearly ravaged by that ruthless demon from another world.
Fearing that the demon would get a taste of the good fortune and then come back to ravage him, he fled to the mortal realm to avoid trouble.
A dignified immortal has fallen so low that he has to hide to protect his "innocence," how could he care whether he has lost a jade pendant he carries with him?
Just as he chuckled, Murong Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, and his slightly relaxed heart clenched tightly.
wrong……
His brother, his brother's face, his nine tails, his figure!
Although he may not be as good as Immortal Venerable Mo Yuan, that bastard has run away now!
What if that otherworldly demon comes and fails to find the Immortal Venerable? Then... then wouldn't it just bully his brother?!
Murong Xiao's eyes instantly turned as red as a rabbit's, and the little voice in his heart was already kneeling and beating his chest—Brother! You must hold on, protect your tail, protect your waist!
Even if I don't have time to ascend to the upper realm, I will risk my life to dig out our Venerable One from the ground!
Whether it's deception or kidnapping, they have to send him back to the upper realm so he can have sex with that otherworldly demon and be oblivious to the world!
As long as you don't let that devil set his sights on you!
Waaaaah...
Murong Xiao was sobbing on one side, and at the same time, he made a tragic vow to "sell out the Immortal Venerable to protect his sworn brother." On the other side, the Earth Vein Spirit Pivot of Luoxingze was also going crazy.
The ball of light, shrouded in terrifying spiritual energy and as volatile as a hedgehog about to explode, shuddered violently the moment Shen Zhaozhao thrust the jade pendant at it.
Clearly, even though the Earth Vein Spirit Pivot had seen some of the world, it had never seen anything like this.
The familiar aura on the jade pendant, seemingly faint yet carrying the oppressive power of the laws of heaven and earth... even a lowly, ignorant spirit from the lower realm would recognize it!
That's the aura of Immortal Venerable Mo Yuan!
The feeling was like a little mongrel that had just learned to bark, running headfirst into a sleeping prehistoric beast, its bloodline instincts telling it to run!
