Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu were very depressed. They had originally wanted to continue strolling around Nanming Island, but after Zhou Xingtian's disturbance, they had to pack up and run away tonight.
In order to avoid being caught by City Lord Zhou halfway, the two of them left another fourth-level spiritual meal for City Lord Zhou before leaving.
The two of them were really willing to give up. It is said that as soon as City Lord Zhou arrived and heard that the two of them had run away, he wanted to chase them.
Finally, he got the fourth-grade spiritual food, but he still thought it was impossible, so he drank it in one gulp as if it were an ordinary spiritual food. Then, before he put down the bowl of soup, the rich spiritual energy rushed to his head, and he fell into enlightenment, so he gave up chasing his "son".
Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu left Nanming Island and, thanks to their "passes," had no obstacles. It only took them three days to reach the island of the Suzaku Divine Sect.
The two of them arrived at a convenient time, as the Dan Yuan Realm and the peak Ling Yuan Realm guarding the islands of the Suzaku Divine Sect had all gone to Nanming Island to participate in the Spiritual Food Tasting Conference. The disciples below, upon seeing Zhou Yanzhi's Supreme Elder token and receiving a bribe of 5,000 spirit stones, plus the two of them paying for the teleportation themselves, activated the teleportation array without a word and sent the people back to the sect.
☆
"So simple?" Even standing at the entrance of the Suzaku City Transmission Hall, Xiao Yu still felt like he was dreaming. To reach the Suzaku Divine Sect, he felt like they had traveled a long way.
I didn't expect that it would arrive so soon at the last moment?
"Daddy, Suzaku City is so lively!" Sanbao ran to the Suzaku City Teleportation Hall Square and looked down. The Teleportation Hall Square, located on three thousand steps, offers a panoramic view of half of Suzaku City.
Under the bright sunshine, the vast streets of Suzaku City are bustling with people, visibly crowded with people jostling each other, making it very lively.
"Today is the outer sect disciple selection held once every ten years, so there are naturally many people from Suzaku City. If it were the inner sect disciple selection held once every hundred years, there would be even more people." In front of the Suzaku City Transmission Hall, an old man wearing the outer sect disciple uniform of Suzaku Divine Sect and holding a broom in his hand said with a smile.
The old man was thin but had a ruddy complexion. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and had reached the late stage of Qi Refining. He gave off the vibe of a retired cadre with nothing to do, living as a floor-sweeping monk.
In fact, his bone age is over 150 years old.
Sanbao noticed the old man and tilted his head to look at him. When Xiao Yu wanted to stop him, he suddenly took out a book from his storage ring and said, "Old man, I'll give you a storybook. I collected this in the mortal world, and I think it's especially suitable for you. You will definitely gain some insights after reading it." As he said this, he also gave the other party a few candies. He felt that this man was over a hundred years old, but he was only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. It was probably like this in his life. How pitiful!
Zhou Sibao, who understood his thoughts, hesitated to speak, and finally gave him a low-level spiritual melon to express his apology.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't mind my brother's recklessness. This is a low-level spiritual fruit that I grew myself. After cutting it open, the flesh inside is very sweet and heat-relieving, which is very suitable for this kind of weather." Zhou Laosi was measured in his actions, like a little adult.
☆
The old man was amused by his childish appearance. He took the nearly ten-pound watermelon and said with a smile, "Thank you two young Taoist friends for the gift. I know you have no ill intentions." He was over a hundred years old. When he was younger, he might have felt resentment at the looks of others. But not anymore.
Sanbao said, "Fellow Daoist, I truly mean no harm. The Sweeping Monk described in this storybook is the most mysterious and powerful in the entire book! I think you resemble him, so that's why I wanted to give it to you."
"Haha, I understand. You are a good kid. Thank you."
Sanbao felt embarrassed by the praise and turned away with red ears.
Zhou Yanzhi handed over a thousand spirit stones and asked the old man about the Supreme Elder Yu Huaichun.
"Elder Yu?" The old man looked slightly surprised.
"how?"
The old man hesitated, sighing, "Because of the teleportation array in the South China Sea, the disciples stationed there are always reluctant to travel back and forth. With no one going there, news is delayed. About three months ago, one of Elder Yu's granddaughters was abducted by the Flame Demon Sect's deputy leader. Elder Yu was initially unaware of this. But a month ago, someone broke the news to Elder Yu. And just two weeks ago, driven by rumors, Elder Yu went there, only to discover they had already set a trap. Elder Yu, despite his decent Samsara Realm cultivation, was no match for the Flame Demon Sect's three Samsara Realm masters."
Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi looked at each other, both speechless.
This is really the case that if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, people will fall.
"The Suzaku Divine Sect doesn't have an explanation?"
"Of course not. If it weren't for the two Samsara Realm elders who noticed something was wrong and rushed over, Elder Yu wouldn't have just suffered a drop in cultivation, but would have died on the spot."
Xiao Yu: Not dead? If they're not dead, can they still enter the Suzaku Divine Sect without passing some strange tests?
☆
"Alas... the decline in cultivation level wouldn't have been a big deal, but unfortunately, he was poisoned, which directly affected Elder Yu's lifespan. It's said that he had a lifespan issue early on due to some reason, and now he's like this... After returning, he went into seclusion."
“…”
"Elder Yu was a renowned swordsman. In his early years, he devoted himself entirely to swordsmanship and had no companion. That granddaughter was his brother's only granddaughter. Unfortunately, she had evil intentions and, for the sake of a man, was framed and ultimately fell into the hands of the Flame Demon Sect's demon Yan Mo."
Xiao Yu: Why does this sound so much like a picture book plot? This Elder Yu's granddaughter is a pure villainous female supporting role.
"That girl is quite pitiful. In the beginning, that man borrowed Elder Yu's power for many years through that girl, and eventually became Jian Feng's senior brother. Now that he has the daughter of the leader of the Lihuo Immortal Sect, he has turned his back on her and is even plotting against his fellow junior sister and the elder of my Suzaku Divine Sect."
