"Senior?" Zhao Xing was suspicious. If Lu Lang had said in the past that he knew some senior, he would have retorted directly on the spot. But now the situation is different. Lu Lang has curry favor with the Young Palace Master, so it is not certain that he really knows some senior.
He may not take Lu Lang seriously, but he dare not put on airs in front of senior masters.
Seeing Zhao Xing, who was so arrogant just now, suddenly become timid when he heard the word "senior", Lu Lang felt relieved and laughed secretly. Then he respectfully let Geng Xian out and introduced him, "This is a senior from the Juling Sect, a second-level Dao-proving great power, and a peak Chaos Immortal Ancestor."
Geng Xian's cultivation had been hidden before he came to the Demon-Suppressing Pass, and the realm he displayed to the outside world now was only the Chaos Immortal Ancestor Realm.
After all, Geng Xian had only achieved the Tao at the second level before. If he now showed the realm of the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor and was discovered, it would be difficult to explain. There are only so many first level branches in the Qiongzu Universe. Where did you, Geng Xian, obtain a first level branch?
When Zhao Xing heard Lu Lang's introduction, his eyes froze, and then he quickly bowed and saluted: "Zhao Xing from Tianri Palace greets the senior!"
Zhao Xing was worried at this moment. He had indeed just embarrassed Lu Lang, but who knew that Lu Lang had brought a senior master with him! In this way, wouldn't he have offended the senior master in front of him? Thinking of this, his hatred for Lu Lang became even stronger. You said you brought a senior master to do things, why didn't you say so earlier?
This is the Juling Sect, which is stronger than their Tianri Palace and more powerful than him, the Chaos Immortal Ancestor. He is a second-level branch who has achieved enlightenment, which is not comparable to his third-level branch. The difference of one level in strength is a chasm, and the status is also very different.
However, Zhao Xing's worry was unnecessary. Geng Xian was in an awkward situation, and since Li Mu needed to keep a low profile, he didn't want to cause any more trouble. He just waved his hand and said, "Take us to the transmission channel."
He is the image of an open-minded senior.
"Senior, I can't make the decision on the teleportation channel. Could you please allow me to inform General Wu?" Zhao Xing asked cautiously.
"Haha, thank you very much." Geng Xian bowed.
In response, Zhao Xing hurriedly returned the greeting in fear, then concentrated and used his spiritual sense to report to General Wu what had happened here.
Seeing this, Lu Lang felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt a little strange. Geng Xian was once an elder of the Juling Sect. Is he so temperless? It would be fine if he didn't show any displeasure to Zhao Xing, the one who made things difficult for them. Why are you still so polite?
When Lu Lang saw Geng Xian actually bowing to Zhao Xing just now, his heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be exposed.
As a leader, the more powerful you are, the more obedient your subordinates will be. If you are too polite, they will not take you seriously and may even doubt the authenticity of your identity. It will be embarrassing when they check Geng Xian's identity and find that there is no such person.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing was timid and didn't dare to think too much since he had already offended Geng Xian. This allowed them to get away with it without any danger.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lu Lang glanced at Geng Xian cautiously, thinking: "I never thought that after so many years in the Juling Sect, Deputy Hall Master Geng could still be untainted by the mud, clean and pure, and respectful to others even though he is in a high position. It is really precious!"
However, what Lu Lang didn't know was that the politeness displayed by Geng Xian was not false politeness. He had been accustomed to being submissive in the underworld over the years and had not yet changed the habit.
In the entire Chaos Palace, there are many people in the same situation as Geng Xian. Although they have now recovered their cultivation and even made progress, they still cannot change many of the habits of living in the Yin world.
For example, when he saw a copper coin on the road, he could not help but want to pick it up. Every day, no matter whether he had food to eat or not, he would ask the servants in his house to prepare three meals of fish and meat, for fear that he would starve. What Li Mu could not tolerate the most was that these people, without exception, attached great importance to money. Basically, they were the kind of people who would not spend a penny. They only saw the income but not the expenditure, and they didn't know why they saved the money.
Before, Li Mu was worried that these people had been oppressed in the underworld for too long, which might lead to psychological distortion and abnormal behavior. For this reason, Li Mu specially set up a psychological counseling department to provide regular psychological counseling for everyone.
Now it seems that Li Mu was overthinking. They have been at the bottom of the underworld for too long, and their edges have been smoothed out. The only way is to let them fight more tough battles in the future and slowly let them regain their former ambitions.
"Palace Master, Wu Yongwang is here." Lu Lang reminded.
Wu Yongwang was the apparent supreme commander of the Demon Suppression Pass. Although he was only at the late stage of Primordial Chaos God Ancestor, those who could be promoted to Primordial Chaos God Ancestor must have achieved the Dao of the second-level branch. Given enough time, he would definitely be able to be promoted to Immortal Chaos Ancestor. Therefore, facing Geng Xian at the Immortal Chaos Ancestor level, Wu Yongwang did not show any servility. He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, it is an honor for you to be here, senior. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
"Are you from the Juling Sect?" Geng Xian asked in surprise.
"Haha, I'm ashamed. I was indeed a disciple of the Juling Sect. However, things are unpredictable. Now I am loyal to the Jiang family." Wu Yongwang said with a smile.
Geng Xian heard this and a strange look appeared on his face. The six major forces were the Ji family, the Jiang family, the Yao family, the Juling Sect, the Tianri Palace, and the Yuansheng Mansion. Among them, the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Yao family were stronger than the other three sects. These three families all existed in the form of families. They all had the same characteristics. All the family members were their own children and did not accept outsiders.
Of course, there is one exception, that is, the Taoist partners of the three families must be outsiders. The three major families are already the top in the universe, and their children will definitely not marry out. No matter whether they are men or women, they will marry their Taoist partners. This part of the people can be attached to the family, but it is just attachment. They can only be regarded as loyal to the family. In order to distinguish themselves from the family members, they cannot even have the same surname as the family members.
Given the status of the three major families in the Qiongzu Universe, even in this situation, others are still flocking to them.
Obviously, this man named Wu Yongwang belongs to this situation, commonly known as marrying into the wife's family.
Wu Yongwang acted very calmly, not caring about Geng Xian's strange expression at all, and asked, "I used to be a fellow student of yours. Please forgive me for my ignorance. I don't know your name...?"
Geng Xian understood what Wu Yongwang said and knew that he was testing him, but this was normal. After all, Wu Yongwang was also a disciple of the second-level branch and was the son-in-law of the Jiang family. He would definitely not be afraid of the identity he showed. Besides, Wu Yongwang was once a disciple of the Juling Sect, so Geng Xian could find no fault with asking about the name of a senior from the same sect.
Geng Xian did not hide this and said truthfully: "I am the 135th elder of the Juling Sect, Geng Xian. However, this happened a long time ago. Six trillion years ago, I had an accident and fell into a deep sleep. I only woke up recently."
The statement that he fell into a deep sleep was instigated by Li Mu. According to Geng Xian, he was the only one present when he was dragged into the underworld that day. That is to say, people in the Qiongzu Universe only knew that he was missing, but did not know why he disappeared or where he went. With Li Mu helping him to conceal the secret, no one could find any flaw in his excuse now.
In this way, Geng Xian might be able to return to the top leadership of the Juling Sect, and then he could become an important chess piece for Li Mu.
