Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 440 - 426

Chapter 440: 426 Chapter 440: 426 “We’re almost there,”

Elder Liu looked ahead calmly, sighing to herself inwardly that the natives of the Deep Abyss were just that—natives.

Why did they think their message-transmitting technique could conceal their presence from her senses?

But these words were true nonetheless.

If Sect Master Shen wished, even now he could secure a favorable treatment within the Pure Moon Sect.

She led several people to a Bamboo Tower.

Standing at the doorway, she said softly, “Father, Sect Master Shen has arrived.”

Creak——

The bamboo door opened by itself without any wind.

“Address me as ‘Elder’ when on official business,”

The owner of the voice from the Dao Plate of the Pure Moon Sect finally showed his true face.

It was a lean middle-aged man with a short beard and stern face, dressed in the black vestment robe of the Pure Moon Sect.

Li Qingfeng had seen the same style of robe worn by many others, such as the eldest senior sister and Nie Shixiong, and even Sect Master Shen.

But it was only when worn by this middle-aged man that it looked like casual clothing rather than any sort of vestment robe.

This place was the inner sect, and since he was an elder… could it be he was a cultivator ranked within White Jade Capital?

No, that’s not right! How did she know Sect Master’s surname was Shen?

Bad… they had been overheard.

Li Qingfeng’s face turned bitter as he looked toward Tong Xin’chuan, only to find that she too appeared a little embarrassed.

Clearly, Elder Liu was reminding them in this manner.

“…”

Looking at the middle-aged man before him,

Shen Yi didn’t sense any powerful aura from the man, as restrained as an ordinary person.

Just judging from this remark, somewhat old-fashioned.

But then again, if it were not for those steadfast in tradition, who would formally acknowledge the agreements of the Alliance Sects in the face of juniors?

“Yes, Elder Liu,”

Liu Qianyun responded in silence for a moment, cupping her hands in return.

“Sect Master Shen,”

Elder Liu stepped out of the Bamboo Tower, greeting Shen Yi with cupped hands, then said, “You must be busy with many affairs these days, so I won’t engage in pleasantries. The purpose of your visit is simply to allow the Nanyang Sect to understand the situation of the Alliance Sects as a reference.”

“This is the steward of our Pure Moon Sect, you can just call her Qianyun. For the coming months, she will accompany Sect Master Shen wherever you wish to look around. If there is anything you need, as long as it doesn’t violate the rules, the Pure Moon Sect will try its best to accommodate.”

Elder Liu could be said to have demonstrated the etiquette of the Alliance Sects to the fullest.

Shen Yi, of course, would not foolishly consider himself superior to the other, and in response to such goodwill, he also gave his thanks, “Thank you, Elder Liu, for your assistance.”

“There’s no need for thanks, these are my duties.”

Elder Liu looked deeply into Shen Yi’s eyes, a hint of a sigh rising within them.

He valued rules greatly, yet he was certainly not an impractical man.

Through his words, he was also reminding the other party that what the Pure Moon Sect should do, it would not shirk—but that was all it would be.

The current Nanyang Sect was certainly not something that one Li Xuanqing or a mere Pure Moon Sect Elder like him could support.

“Please, Sect Master Shen,” Elder Liu gently waved his sleeve.

Liu Qianyun, hearing this, stepped forward slowly, her expression slightly somber as she led the group away into the distance.

Clearly, an elder concerned with following rules would be cherished by most, but that might not include his own daughter.

The daughter of a Sect Elder, yet she could only serve as a steward, not to mention becoming an external Sect Elder, she didn’t even have the chance to break the norm and become a direct disciple.

“…”

This time, Li Qingfeng had wised up and refrained from transmitting any messages.

He just grumbled in his mind,

This steward’s frustration with her father would probably end up vented on them.

And so it turned out to be.

Once they had left the Bamboo Tower, Liu Qianyun’s tone was a bit less patient, “Sect Master Shen, the most important thing for the transmission of a sect’s legacy is teaching the Dharma. I plan to take you to the Lecture Hall first to have a look.”

“It’s just that allowing Alliance Sect cultivators to overhear matters concerning the Dao of the Pure Moon Sect would be against the rules. I wonder if Sect Master is interested in pills, talismans, formations, or artifacts?”

At these words, both Tong Xin’chuan and Xu Qing’er’s eyes lit up.

Shen Yi glanced at the two of them and responded, “Let’s go with formations then. Thank you, Steward.”

It just so happened that his strongest skill was also in the Dao of Formations.

“Very well, this way please,”

Liu Qianyun now just wanted to find a place to settle everyone down, and then be alone in quiet.

Facing a Cultivator who had just reached Return to Void, calling him “Sect Master” over and over, she was already finding it difficult to keep doing so.

The inner gate structure of Pure Moon Sect was actually at least seventy percent similar to that of Thousand Demon Cave.

However, by comparison, it was much more exquisite, and all the figures coming and going were Cultivators; those cave dwellings were decorated magnificently, radiating brilliance that pierced the sky.

Passing by great halls occasionally, one could hear the lively sounds of debates coming from within.

Just a single Formation was divided into as many as sixteen halls.

Liu Qianyun led several people into one of the halls.

The previously unbroken string of lectures suddenly quieted down, and seated in the great hall was an elder in green robes.

“This is Elder Yang from the outer gate, considered the most profound in Formation knowledge among today’s sixteen hall lecturers,” explained Liu Qianyun briefly, before soaring toward the front of the hall to whisper something to Elder Yang and then leaving the hall.

“…”

Elder Yang glanced over the many disciples with puzzled faces, then nodded toward Shen Yi and the others, “Please find a seat wherever you like.”

Li Qingfeng wasn’t very interested in this matter, but Tong Xin’chuan and Xu Qing’er were both excited to step into the hall, following Shen Yi as they neatly bowed in thanks to the elder.

“Today we have guests from afar, so instead of discussing Formations, we will review basics,” announced Elder Yang simply, which immediately caused the faces of the disciples below to change slightly, and they began whispering among themselves, inquiring about the identity of the newcomers.

Although the reopening of Nanyang Sect hadn’t been deliberately publicized, a few had heard about it.

After all, it was quite rare for the Dao Plates of all six Sect Elders to be presented together among the Nan Hong Seven Sons.

Clearly, Elder Yang was deliberately accommodating these cultivators whose lineage had been severed.

“How boring, how boring. To listen to such things, I might as well find a steward, there’s no need to bother an outer gate Elder,” complained a disciple, putting away the Array Plate in front of him. If it weren’t for the face of Elder Yang, he would have directly left.

Shen Yi and the others didn’t care; they were just auditing and would listen to whatever was being lectured.

Even the basics were the authenticity of a great Sect’s foundation, which was bound to be much better than what they knew from their own unofficial paths.

Following Elder Yang as he began lecturing again,

The three listened quietly and with concentration, starting to fill in any gaps in their knowledge.

A’Qing even took out a small booklet to take notes.

“…”

Read 𝓁at𝙚st chapters at ƒrēenovelkiss.com Only.

Liu Qianyun leaned outside the hall, shaking her head when she saw their expressions, somewhat lacking enthusiasm.

Li Qingfeng’s mind wasn’t on Formations either, instead quietly observing the people around him.

As time passed, he began to hear several snickers.

Almost all the disciples, around a hundred in number, were now steadily staring at the three in the corner.

“How earnest,” said the person speaking while covering their mouth, though their tone didn’t sound like a compliment.

Suddenly, someone reached out to pull A’Qing’s booklet and, finding that she had recorded every single word without omission, finally couldn’t hold back a laugh, “You’re actually studying this?”

“Uh.”

A’Qing stopped writing, feeling a bit flustered, not understanding why the group was laughing; she genuinely felt that she had learned a lot.

“…”

Shen Yi casually pulled the booklet back, pushed it into A’Qing’s arms, switched places with her, and said faintly, “Don’t mind them, continue listening.”

“Mm-hm,”

Xu Qing’er nodded obediently.

The disciple who had taken the booklet was stunned for a moment, then saw that Shen Yi didn’t give him another glance, treating him as if he were air.

He felt somewhat resentful, “Hey, you’re quite hot-tempered. I was just taking a look. If there’s something you don’t understand, I could teach you, no need to go to the trouble of asking Elder Yang.”

Tong Xin’chuan, who had been listening to the laughter nearby all this while, finally shifted his gaze from the elder to look at that person, saying in all seriousness, “You understand better than the elder? Then why don’t you go up and teach?”

“I!”

The young disciple was taken aback and flushed slightly.

Such a disciple, who had never left the Sect, could hardly stand Tong Xin’chuan’s sarcastic tone and immediately sat up, “Naturally, I’m not as good as the elder, but it’s more than enough to teach the few of you.”

“…”

Tong Xin’chuan fell silent for a moment, looking over at Shen Yi.

Seeing that Shen Yi had no intention to intervene,

he turned calmly to the disciple and said softly, “That may not necessarily be true.”
