nChapter 38

nLian Shenyin carried Daoist Xing Yun to Xiao Changtian’s room alone.

n“Daoist Xing Yun?”

nMu Jiuhuang was stunned. She instantly recognized the injured old man.

nIt was the Xingyun Emperor who had passed the great emperor’s position to her.

nAt that time, she had just broken through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and defeated Daoist Xing Yun, taking down the great emperor in one go.

nHowever, Mu Jiuhuang was clear that Daoist Xing Yun had already developed the intention to retire during that battle.

nThat was why he gave her a chance.

nOtherwise, how could she, who had just broken through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, defeat the Xingyun Emperor? At most, she would be on par with the Daoist Xing Yun.

nAlthough now, Daoist Xing Yun was no longer his opponent.

nBut even so, the people who could hurt him on the streets were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

nWhy did he suffer from such heavy injuries?

n“You guys go out first. I’ll treat this old man.”

nXiao Changtian said to Mu Jiuhuang, Lian Shenyin, and Chu Yiren.

nThe three of them nodded and walked out of the room.

n“Emperor.”

nLian Shenyin bowed to Mu Jiuhuang.

n“Sect leader Lian, there’s no need to be so polite. In the eyes of the senior, we are all ordinary people. Do you understand?”

nMu Jiuhuang’s phoenix eyes squinted as she said in a low voice.

n“Understood.”

nThey were all intelligent people. In an instant, Lian Shenyin understood that this senior was hiding in the mortal world and playing around.

n“I’m just curious. Who could hurt Daoist Xing Yun?” Mu Jiuhuang asked in a low voice.

nDaoist Xing Yun was extremely powerful.

nAccording to reason, crossing the Heavenly Tribulation Realm meant invincible in the era when the Greater Vehicle Realm did not exist.

n“A few sea race brats ambushed that brat.”

nSuddenly, the tortoise’s voice rang out.

n“Senior Black Tortoise!”

n“You mean the one who injured Daoist Xing Yun was the sea king of the sea tribe?”

nWhen Mu Jiuhuang heard this, she looked at the green tortoise respectfully.

nSeeing this, Lian Shenyin also reacted. This tortoise should be the divine beast that Daoist Qing Yun had mentioned, the Black Tortoise. She quickly followed suit and bowed.

nAfter paying his respects, his eyes scanned the small courtyard. Then, he noticed the divine beast ant in the bamboo forest and the grass in the backyard.

n“Greetings, senior,”

nLian Shenyin quickly greeted the ant.

nHowever, the ant only glanced at her and wandered into the grass.

n“Phew! Luckily, my intuition was right. This ant does have the same master as the Black Tortoise.”

nLian Shenyin was happy.

nNot long after, Xiao Changtian walked out of the room.

n“Little girl, don’t cry. Your grandfather will probably wake up tomorrow.”

n“It’s just a small injury. Don’t worry.”

nXiao Changtian looked at the seven-year-old girl in front of him and said with a faint smile.

nThe old man’s body was extremely tough.

nHe had already taken care of his injuries. As long as he had a good rest, he would probably be fine by tomorrow morning.

n“Thank you, big brother,” An innocent smile appeared on Xing Ling’er’s face.

nShe no longer cried.

n“Jiu’er, take the little girl to wash her face first,” Xiao Changtian looked at Xing Ling’er’s crying face and instructed Mu Jiuhuang.

n“Yes.”

nMu Jiuhuang nodded in agreement.

n“I’ll go with you,” Chu Yiren followed Mu Jiuhuang.

n“Ye Fan, go and sell some firewood tonight. Get some money for us to have a taste of meat tonight,” Xiao Changtian looked at the sudden guests in the small courtyard and could only give such an order.

nYe Fan had been chopping firewood recently. It had almost filled up a small room.

n“Yes, master,”

nYe Fan nodded. He carried the basket and went to sell firewood.

nWhen Lian Shenyin heard this, she realized the senior had a disciple.

nShe quickly looked at Ye Fan. After all, the senior was strong, and even Emperor Jiuhuang was only the senior’s servant. Then how strong would the senior’s disciple be?

nHowever, she was stunned at first glance.

n“Senior’s disciple is a mortal?”

nLian Shenyin was filled with shock.

nHowever, after the initial shock, she was slightly astonished.

nShe looked at Ye Fan, he was indeed a mortal, but his walking speed seemed to be very slow, but it also seemed to be very fast.

nIt was extremely strange.

nShe even saw Ye Fan smiling at her. She was dazed for a moment. She rubbed her eyes. When she looked at Ye Fan again, he had already disappeared.

n“What…”

nLian Shenyin looked at the scene before her and didn’t know what to say.

nShe couldn’t tell if the senior’s disciple was mortal.

nJust like Xiao Changtian.

nThe feeling Ye Fan gave her was weird, like he was between a mortal and a cultivator.

nThe feeling that Xiao Changtian gave her was that of an actual mortal.

n“Could this be the realm of an expert?”

nLian Shenyin was puzzled.

nHowever, Xiao Changtian did not notice Lian Shenyin’s reaction.

nMeanwhile, in a secret room in the Divine Sound Sect, a tall old man had a shocked expression.

n“You’re saying that Lian Shenyin has already crossed the fourth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”

nThe old man sat on the futon with a ruthless expression.

n“That’s right,” An elder reported.

n“Heh. I thought of turning her into a human cauldron when Lian Shenyin gets stronger.”

n“Back then, I killed her master because I fancied her constitution and wanted her to become stronger so I could devour her. However, her cultivation level is the same as mine.”

n“If I continue to let her stabilize her cultivation, my plan will be ruined.”

n“Heh, set up the formation. When she returns, cooperate with my plan and take her down in one go.”

nThe Divine Sound Sect’s patriarch said ruthlessly.

n“Yes, patriarch.”

nBelow, vice sect leader Qin Shou sneered.

nHe had been eyeing the position of sect leader for a long time. Since the patriarch was going to make a move, he only had to cooperate.

nHe had no idea about the evil plan of these two people.

nIn the small courtyard, Lian Shenyin told Xiao Changtian how she had disturbed his rest by playing the zither at noon.

nHowever, she didn’t expect Xiao Changtian didn’t care at all.

n“So you like to play the zither too. It just so happens that I’ve recently written a score for the zither. Unfortunately, I don’t have a zither.”

n“Since you like to play the zither, I’ll give you this score.”

nXiao Changtian said indifferently as he handed over a page of his score to Lian Shenyin.

n…

nAt night, everyone gathered in the small courtyard and had a meal. Lian Shenyin took advantage of the night to comprehend half of the score.

nThe following day, Daoist Xing Yun woke up early in the morning.

n“Grandpa, that’s great. You’re awake.”

nXing Ling’er’s surprised voice was heard from the room.

n“Senior, you’re busy. I’ll take my leave.”

nLian Shenyin also excused herself. After all, she had been out for a long time.

nFurthermore, she wanted to return to the Divine Sound Sect and play the score. She could feel that the score contained boundless power.
