On the Queen Mother's stage, the crowd still stood there, with no intention of leaving.
The old immortal's funeral ceremony has ended, but someone is still needed to pick up the spirit tablet and escort it to the ancestral hall for placement.
In the past, this work was done by the successors of the Immortal Lord.
However, now, the Immortal Lord's eldest son Yu Tianliu is on a military expedition and will not be able to return for a while.
"Master Jijiu, I'm afraid you are the only one who can escort the spirit tablet..." Su Xu bent down and whispered to Li Yuebai who was sitting on the stone chair.
Li Yuebai thought about it, felt it was inappropriate, and politely declined.
"System, does Immortal Lord Yu Pengzhu have other children?" Li Yuebai asked.
"There is one more, but..." The system began to hesitate.
"Just?"
Before the system could answer, there was a commotion on the Queen Mother's stage.
All the monks were standing quietly at first, but now, they all looked up and pointed at the sky. Pointing was not enough, they also started to discuss among themselves. After discussing for a while, they all shook their heads and sighed.
What extraordinary thing did you see?
Li Yuebai also raised his head and looked up along the direction of the crowd, and saw a figure in the sky - someone was flying with a sword.
This is a world of cultivating immortals. It is not uncommon to see a sword flying. What is uncommon is the figure itself.
He was wearing a colorful robe, which was completely different from the monks who were dressed simply. His flying route was also stumbling, as if he was about to fall from the sky. From a distance, he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and pouring wine into his mouth, and he seemed to be singing an off-tune song.
What was even more terrifying was that the flying sword carried not only him, but also two graceful and charming women. The women probably felt that flying was too dangerous and made cute screams from time to time, but the man didn't care at all. He hugged them one by one and kissed them on the cheek from time to time.
What is the difference between this and the modern racing gangs? Li Yuebai couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"System, who is this?"
"This is what I just said, the Immortal Lord's second son, Yu Tianji." The system replied helplessly.
Yu Tianliu is the eldest son and heir of the Immortal Lord, with a noble status and praised by everyone. Yu Tianji is the opposite. His biological mother is an unknown woman who has long passed away. He is of humble status, extremely poor talent, and slightly disabled - his left leg was lame since birth. Therefore, the Immortal Lord named him Tianji. Ji means an imperfect pearl, which is a metaphor for those imperfect but beautiful things, in order to encourage him to overcome his defects and try his best to cultivate.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tianji was a complete waste. Not only was he not good at everything, but he also had poor morals. Not only did he not try his best to cultivate, but he also behaved improperly since he was young. He was a playboy and dissolute man. He only knew how to get drunk and sing every day, hang out with women, and do all kinds of absurd things. The Immortal Lord punished him in every way at first, but later he gradually stopped caring about him.
Therefore, no one in the entire Kunlun Fairy Mountain looked up to the second young master. Every time they talked about him, they laughed at him as a joke, saying that he had simply brought shame to his father and brother.
Now the position of Immortal Lord is vacant, and Yu Tianji is unable to succeed due to his bad reputation.
"Host, I must remind you that the world has changed a little." The system checked and said, "The character of Yu Tianji is different from the original one."
"Um?"
"The Yu Tianji that the original owner met was just incompetent, cowardly and disabled, not as drunk and wild as he is now. Although they are both trash, there are still some differences between them." The system explained.
"Is this distinction important?" Li Yuebai smiled bitterly.
"Important." The system replied, "Because the original owner helped Yu Tianji ascend to the position of Immortal Lord."
Without the Immortal Lord, Kunlun Immortal Mountain would not be able to function well, and many orders would be inconvenient to implement, and the efficiency of resisting the invasion of the Demon Cult would be very low. The original owner, Mu Qingning, considered that Yu Tianji was kind-hearted and would never become a tyrant, so he assisted Yu Tianji to ascend to the position of Immortal Lord.
Everyone was a little reluctant at first, but later they were all moved.
But now…
"Host, I regretfully have to tell you that if you want to assist Yu Tianji, it will be more difficult than the original owner." The system said: "It would be fine if he was just incompetent and cowardly, but this Yu Tianji is really too hateful..."
"I won't assist him." Li Yuebai shook his head helplessly: "It's better not to have such an immortal master."
It was obvious that Yu Tianji was not capable of becoming an immortal master. He might fall from the sky and die at any time.
Just as I thought of this, I heard a loud noise.
Yu Tianji and the two women really fell from the sky.
The sword lost control and crashed to the ground.
The two women seemed to be quite skilled in magic, and at the moment of falling, they both performed a magic trick and landed lightly, thus saving their lives.
However, Yu Tianji's magic was only half-baked to begin with, and he was so drunk that he fell directly onto the Queen Mother's Platform, making a loud noise.
"..." The monks didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Xu let out a sigh.
Li Yuebai felt countless black lines appearing on his forehead.
But no matter what, I still have to go and visit.
Li Yuebai led the monks forward and carefully examined Yu Tianji lying on the ground.
I have to say, even though this second young master is useless and annoying, he still looks very impressive.
The corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, his long eyebrows slanted down to his temples, his eyelids were a little red, probably the effect of applying flower petals, and at the corners of his mouth was a heartless, skinless and shameless smile, and one could tell at a glance that he was a person who would never mend his ways, even if he was beaten to death.
The clothes he was wearing were bright red and green, with a wide open collar, his collarbone and chest were exposed, and his abdominal muscles could even be seen. His body was thin but his muscles were tight, and bright red wine was still flowing on his chest. On top, her long black hair was hanging loose, looking somewhat seductive.
He was indeed very drunk. He had fallen quite hard just now. Yu Tianji rolled over on the ground groaning, his eyes tightly closed, mumbling something, and had no intention of standing up.
"Where are the people? Hurry up and help the Second Young Master to get treatment!" Su Xu said hurriedly, "The Second Young Master was too sad and drank to drown his sorrows. That's why he fell and got injured. He must be treated properly."
As expected of the Lord Su, he has said all the good things in the world.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianji burped, got up from the ground and opened his eyes.
Li Yuebai keenly caught his eyes and felt something flashed in them.
But only for a moment.
The next second, Yu Tianji regained his unruly look, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Master Su? I... am not injured at all... hiccup..."
Everyone secretly laughed at him countless times in their hearts.
Wan Guangliu couldn't stand it any longer and cursed directly: "Second Young Master, the Immortal Master's body is still warm, and you are drinking and being dissolute here, what a lie!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the charming beauty at the side rolled her eyes and hurriedly explained: "Master Wanfeng, you don't know that after the second young master learned the sad news of the immortal master's death, he cried for an hour and vomited several liters of blood... Because he was too sad, he had to drink to drown his sorrows..."
"Yes, and the Second Young Master is weak because of mourning the Immortal Lord, so he needs to eat and drink something to recover..." said another beauty.
Yu Tianji cooperated very well and froze on the spot, as if she recalled that her father had passed away. She blinked her peach blossom eyes and tears fell.
Li Yuebai didn't know what to say anymore.
Sir, do you think you are Ruan Ji, the famous scholar of Wei and Jin Dynasty?
Fortunately, people were already accustomed to this kind of scene and were not too surprised. Apart from secretly sighing and secretly despising it, there was nothing unusual.
Soon, the doctor came and sobered up the second young master, thus putting an end to this farce.
The farce was not over yet. Just as the second young master was about to stagger away with the two beauties, Li Yuebai stopped him.
"Mr. Tianji, please stay." Li Yuebai said.
According to the rules of the world of immortal cultivation, when addressing a young master of an immortal cultivation family, the word "Jun" should be added after the name.
"Hmm?" Yu Tianji glanced over with his peach blossom eyes.
"According to the rules, please ask Lord Tianji to return the immortal master's spirit tablet." Li Yuebai said.
"..." Yu Tianji narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger at Li Yuebai: "Hey, you look familiar to me. Who are you? Which old immortal?"
"Mu Qingning, now the chief priest." Li Yuebai sighed.
"Well, Lady Mu, thank you for the reminder." Yu Tianji tilted his body unruly, and after trying to tidy up his appearance, he walked over and held up the immortal lord's spirit tablet.
Li Yuebai looked at his unsteady steps and felt worried. He couldn't help but make a suggestion and added a spell to prevent him from falling.
Fortunately, Yu Tianji finally didn't poke any more trouble. He took the spirit tablet back and placed it properly.
This ceremony is finally over.
Just when everyone was about to disperse, Yu Tianji stopped them again.
"I heard that everyone was arguing very heatedly. Some said that we should fight against the Demon Cult, while others said that we should save our lives first..." Yu Tianji narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd: "Since everyone has their own reasons, I would like to listen to them. So, those immortals who advocate war, can you condescend to my Auspicious Palace and explain it in detail?"
Auspicious Palace is Yu Tianji's residence. The name sounds just right for his hedonistic style.
Everyone was in doubt for a moment, not knowing what the second young master was doing.
Could it be that even he has realized the threat of the Demon Cult, and suddenly realized his own identity, and is planning to take a serious part in Kunlun affairs?
Yu Tianji didn't explain much. As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went back with his people.
Leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Master, what do you think? Should we go?" Wan Guangliu's disciple asked quietly, "Maybe the Second Young Master really has something to say to us, the pro-war faction?"
"Humph." Wan Guangliu Ming showed disbelief and disdain.
Everyone knows that Yu Tianji has no special abilities. His Taoism and swordsmanship are very poor, and he has no dignity at all. This kind of person must be the biggest capitulator.
There was only one possibility for inviting people to the palace to discuss this time - to ask a few powerful immortals to protect him and escape far away.
Everyone could imagine how useless this second young master would be. Perhaps as soon as everyone entered the door, he would prostrate himself on the ground and make a long and pathetic speech, asking everyone to protect him and escort him to escape because he was the Immortal Lord's biological son.
"I'm busy with work, so I won't go." Wan Guangliu said coldly.
"You can't say that. Regardless of whether Lord Tianji advocates war or surrender, we should discuss it." Su Xu said.
"Master Su, these two young masters are looking for the pro-war faction. What does this have to do with you? What are you doing to get involved?" Wan Guangliu said angrily, "You are a pro-escape faction. Why don't you quickly pack up and run away with your neck tucked in?"
"When did I ever say that I was a member of the escape faction?" Su Xu was surprised: "I am just calm and self-controlled. I will support whichever faction's strategy is beneficial to Kunlun Immortal Mountain."
"Sweet words and flattering manner!"
"Master Jijiu, what do you think?" Su Xu turned to Li Yuebai.
Li Yuebai rubbed his temples and couldn't help but think of the strange light in Yu Tianji's eyes when he opened his eyes.
Maybe there will be a turning point.
"We should discuss it." Li Yuebai said.
"Your Excellency is right." Su Xu praised.
Soon, Li Yuebai and several immortals who advocated war arrived at the Auspicious Palace.
Su Xu was not a complete advocate of war, and he was not on good terms with Wan Guangliu, so in the end he did not come with everyone.
As soon as he entered the Auspicious Hall, he saw Yu Tianji sitting on the seat in the center with an improper posture. He was twirling a sword in his hand, and his movements were not steady at all. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.
"Are the immortals here?" Yu Tianji lazily kicked his sword aside and glanced at the crowd.
"What does Tianji Jun want to say to us?" Wan Guangliu asked directly.
"There's nothing special to say. It's very simple to say." Yu Tianji stood up, clicked his tongue, and walked down the stage step by step. His eyes were full of complicated expressions. His voice was neither loud nor low, but it surprised everyone:
"I'm in charge of the battle."
