Chapter 143 Little Qiong, My Bro
This ancestor seems to be even more trouble than I had assumed... Li Changshou looked at his master who was sighing on the cloud ahead and the ancestor next to her, visibly restraining her anger, and his thoughts turned.
When Li Changshou first entered the sect, he subconsciously regarded "Lin Jiang, the Wanderer," depicted on the prayer tablets in the master's cottage, as a kindly old daoist. Of course, whether it was a man or a woman didn't really matter.
But...
The ancestor, Jiang Linger, had a youthful face and figure, indicating she had probably fixed her appearance and figure in her early years, possibly due to some karmic entanglement. Her return with a fierce aura and visible injuries, left lightly unhealed, seemed like a sign of achievement, almost like a badge of honor.
This indicated that the ancestor probably had another 'circle', which would entail more karma. Furthermore, the ancestor's temper was obviously not very good, with a fierce gaze and a flat chest... Hmm, seems like something extraordinary slipped in.
Li Changshou looked at his senior brother, Jiu Wu, and transmitted his voice, "Senior brother, go to the Dan Ding Peak and ask Elder Wan Linjun to hurry to the Xian Lin Peak."
Jiu Wu was suddenly puzzled, "Why ask Elder Wan Linjun to go to Xian Lin Peak?"
Li Changshou transmitted, "To help settle things later."
Jiu Wu furrowed his brows with his powerful gaze but quickly understood. He pulled his dao companion aside, whispered a few words, then turned and hurriedly flew towards the direction of Dan Ding Peak, while the dao companion headed towards the Po Tian Peak.
Meanwhile, Zhiyuan Daoist had already briefly explained the past events to his master...
Jiang Linger clenched her fists slightly, gritting her teeth, "Second, is this how I taught you? Whenever someone calls you, you just go?"
Zhiyuan Daoist sighed helplessly, only able to say, "Disciple is confused, please punish, Master!"
"Go back to the peak and reflect," Jiang Linger said calmly, "I'll go see a few old friends and come back to discuss this with you."
"Yes..."
Zhiyuan Daoist replied with a trembling voice, immediately stood up, and turned to see his two disciples.
"Master, the disciple still has two disciples... Changshou, Ling'e, you two, don't just stand there, come and pay your respects!"
So, Li Changshou and Ling'e flew forward on the clouds together and bowed respectfully.
The Daoists pay respects to their ancestors.
"Second, you're still taking disciples?"
Jiang Linger squeezed out a smile, temporarily suppressing her anger.
She took out two jade rings from her waist and enveloped them with immortal power, handing them to Li Changshou and Ling'e, trying to demonstrate the kindness and gentleness of an ancestor.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Linger's face was quite outstanding. But the strong murderous aura emanating from her body was too intense, making Ling'e dare not look directly at her.
Jiang Linger said, "As a first-time ancestor, I don't know what to say to you. It's unfair to let you worship a muddy immortal as your master. This was originally prepared for your master and senior brother, but I'll give them to you now. We'll talk later, you and your master should return to the peak, and I'll go deal with some matters."
With that, Jiang Linger took a few glances at Ling'e and Li Changshou, took a step forward, revealing a quite skilled body technique, and landed directly in front of the mountain gate.
The two elders who welcomed her back had already noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Linger and immediately followed her from behind.
One elder said, "Niece Jiang Linger, the matter has already been punished within the sect..."
Jiang Linger didn't respond, calmly walking to the mountain gate.
Behind the mountain gate, the protective array's light flickered gently, and the guardian immortal also hesitated, unsure whether to let her in.
Jiang Linger said calmly, "When I left the mountain back then, I had the permission of the sect. Now that I've returned, is the sect rejecting me because of my bloodstained body?"
"This..."
The two guardians exchanged glances, and their magical instruments lit up at the same time, opening the mountain gate.
Jiang Linger bowed her thanks and stepped into the mountain gate.
As soon as she stepped into the array, she paused lightly. Those two palm-sized jade feet, however, squeezed through the solid stone slabs imbued with restrictions in the mountain gate, leaving behind cracks like spiderwebs...
In the next moment, like an arrow leaving the string, Jiang Linger's figure dragged out a sharp blood light in mid-air, shooting towards Xian Lin Peak!
The two heavenly immortals hurriedly followed, but their speed in the air was far inferior to Jiang Linger's breaking speed!
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows at this sight, and a fleeting smile crossed his lips.
Ling'e muttered softly, "Senior brother, ancestor grandma feels... so powerful."
Li Changshou was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice full of killing intent coming from within the protective array.
"Xian Lin Peak, Master Kui, come out."
Zhiyuan Daoist, who was about to return to Little Qiong Peak to wait for his master, suddenly reacted and hastily shouted, "Changshou! Hurry! Go persuade your ancestor!"
"Ling'e, you accompany Master back to Little Qiong Peak."
Li Changshou said so and turned to enter the protective array, floating towards Xian Lin Peak.
Leaving aside the rest for now...
The fact that the ancestor didn't look for Master Kui directly but sought out Master Kui's master instead, made Li Changshou look at her with a little more respect.
Several heavenly immortal auras rose from Xian Lin Peak, and Jiang Linger's figure stood quietly in the air, her skirt fluttering slightly, her long hair constantly lifted by the spiritual wind.
This ancestor grandma...
The more Li Changshou looked, the more he felt that she was quite impressive...
...
Jiang Linger rushed to Xian Lin Peak and directly challenged Master Kui;
Master Kui of Xian Lin Peak came forward, the elders of the sect came forward, but Jiang Linger ignored them all, saying only, "I'm just asking for an explanation," leaving them with nothing to say.
Master Kui, whom Li Changshou had been observing for a long time, quickly appeared.
Jiang Linger said, "It's you?"
Before the other could even nod, a blood light bloomed in Jiang Linger's hand, directly piercing towards Master Kui's left shoulder!
This attack, except for Li Changshou, no one in the air could see how Jiang Linger made her move.
Caught off guard, Master Kui's left shoulder was pierced by the blood light, blood spurting from behind his shoulder, and his protective immortal light was instantly broken!
If this aimed at his vital points, this heavenly immortal elder would either die or be seriously injured!
Jiang Linger immediately rushed forward, her eyes incredibly sharp, and the big knife behind her turned into a white tiger with blood patterns all over its body, holding two short blades in her hands...
The surrounding heavenly immortals quickly moved to intercept, and the white tiger beast protected Jiang Linger, stirring up waves of bloody wind, creating a chaotic scene for a moment.
The master of Xian Lin Peak was also furious, and he made a full move against Jiang Linger, aiming a palm strike at her;
But before the palm could fall, a figure flashed from the direction of Dan Ding Peak, and it was Elder Wan Linjun!
Elder Wan Linjun immediately took action, directly sweeping the master of Xian Lin Peak away with a slap, then pressed down with his hand, temporarily trapping Jiang Linger.
He was decisive in pulling aside the partiality.
"Stop," Elder Wan Linjun said coldly, frowning as he watched Jiang Linger.
Without a word, Jiang Linger's figure swirled lightly, and dozens of blade marks appeared around her, resembling petals dancing in the wind, beautiful yet hiding deadly intent.
Elder Wan Linjun's attempt to restrain her with his immortal power was instantly shattered by her!
Following that, Jiang Linger took a step forward, her figure ghostly and alluring, as she created a dozen phantoms in the air, easily bypassing several celestial beings and attacking Master Kuai Sizi!
Li Changshou silently admired;
his master had truly honed her combat skills through life and death experiences.
Her moves were decisive, precise, her figure unpredictable, her techniques deceptive.
Unfortunately, although she initially intended to injure rather than kill, it seemed she had fallen short in that regard...
Master Kuai Sizi, unwilling to be bullied, immediately summoned several treasures, but before the treasures could shimmer with immortal light, a dagger had mysteriously appeared behind the old Taoist's back and stabbed directly into his right shoulder!
As blood spurted forth once again, a voice tinged with resignation was heard...
"Stop it."
Jiang Linger paused her actions, immediately stepping back and turning her head towards the direction of Pochi Peak.
More than a dozen streaks of light flew towards them, but the first person to arrive had already landed with his hands behind his back, two strands of white hair falling in front of his temples, his cold and handsome face belonging to the most powerful celestial being in the sect...
Forget-Me-Not.
Forget-Me-Not said, "Jiang Linger, let's not escalate this situation any further."
Li Changshou had expected that given his master's temperament, she would probably scoff and dismiss Forget-Me-Not with disdain.
But unexpectedly...
"Oh," Jiang Linger nodded, retracting her short blades;
she quickly formed hand seals, and the white tiger beast around her turned into strands of blood light, coalescing into the large blade on her back.
At this moment, Li Changshou, who had just arrived in the sky above Xianlin Peak, immediately detected something out of the ordinary...
Jiang Linger stared at Forget-Me-Not, her eyes flickering.
Forget-Me-Not, however, didn't say much, seeing that the situation had settled, he simply said:
"This matter ends here. Neither Xianlin Peak nor Pochi Peak should seek revenge anymore, otherwise, there will be strict punishment according to the sect's rules."
"It's not over yet," Jiang Linger said, "I need to find out the fate of my eldest disciple before I can settle things with Xianlin Peak."
An elder on the side added, "Master Kuai Sizi was recently killed at the border of the North Juru Marsh. That should be enough retribution!"
Jiang Linger responded, "Unless my second disciple acted on his own, the karma is not yet settled."
Just then, a voice entered her ears, causing Jiang Linger to furrow her brows slightly.
"Master, disciple Changshou believes that this matter requires careful consideration and should be handled discreetly. Making a big fuss about it is not the way to seek revenge. Besides, Forget-Me-Not is still watching."
Jiang Linger glanced sideways at Li Changshou, then looked at Forget-Me-Not, pursing her lips before decisively turning around with her large blade on her back and heading towards Pochi Peak.
Li Changshou was now certain that there was definitely a story between his master and Forget-Me-Not.
Li Changshou made a courtesy to Elder Wan Linjun, who responded with a trademark 'cold' smile and a slow nod.
Then, without attracting the attention of the other elders, Li Changshou hurriedly flew towards Jiang Linger, never catching the attention of the other elders.
...
After a little chaos, everyone rushed back to Pochi Peak.
Jiang Linger sat in Qi Yuan's grass hut, while Qi Yuan stood beside her, talking about his experience of transcending the tribulation and becoming an immortal;
Li Changshou and Blue Ling Er waited outside the grass hut, while Jiu Wu, Jiu WU, You Qin Xuan Ya, and Jiu Shi watched from a distance.
Just now, when Jiang Linger challenged Xianlin Peak, everyone saw it, and now they were a bit wary of this suddenly returned senior uncle and senior uncle ancestor...
She's really someone who doesn't hesitate to kill at the drop of a hat, and none of the celestial beings could stop her!
But, on top of that, she did it with such elegance...
Li Changshou and Ling Er were quickly called into the grass hut, but not long after, only Qi Yuan and Ling Er were pushed out;
the wooden door of the grass hut was closed, and a two-layered isolation array appeared around the grass hut, preventing any prying.
Li Changshou was left alone inside...
Jiu Wu quickly stepped forward, while You Qin Xuan Ya and Jiu Wu were also a little nervous, Ling Er frowned, her eyes full of worry.
Jiu Wu hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, why was Changshou left behind?"
"Master wants to lecture Changshou," Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, he should be fine."
"How can we not worry?" Jiu WU muttered, "This senior uncle is quite hot-headed. He just got back to the mountain and made a celestial elder bleed."
"Be cautious," Jiu Wu quickly intercepted Jiu Wu's words.
Meanwhile, in the grass hut, Jiang Linger sat in a circle chair with her large blade placed beside her, making her appear even smaller.
Through the wooden door and the array, Jiang Linger glanced at Jiu Wu, then lowered her head to look at the plate armor on her body.
"Long time no see, this little brat has grown again..."
Ignoring whatever Jiang Linger said, Li Changshou stood quietly by the side.
"Changshou, I'm just here for a short visit this time. I won't stay in the sect for long. There are still important matters outside. Later, I'll also have to find out what happened to your master. I'll leave him to you in the future."
