Chapter 700 - 638: Jile of the Mortal Realm
"Moreover, I’ve heard that the Elysium Demon Lord’s way of doing things..."
Wu Xueting’s charming eyes fixed on Shen Xuan, but she did not continue.
Shen Xuan slightly nodded, indicating his understanding.
"I understand. It’s a small matter; there’s no need for you two junior sisters to worry too much."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xueting and her sister bowed to show their respect.
This time, Wu Xueting bowed deeply, full of respect and courtesy.
"Sorry to trouble you, senior brother. If the day comes when I, Xueting, have the ability, I will definitely repay you."
Shen Xuan sidestepped, not accepting the courtesy.
"Junior sister, there’s no need to be so polite. In the future, serve True Master Gu Feng well."
Shen Xuan made it clear that he did this for the sake of True Master Gu Feng.
There was no need for the Wu sisters to repay him.
The flying ship streaked like a stream of light, piercing through layers of clouds.
Two hours later.
The view ahead gradually became clear.
A city, built against a mountain, shrouded in mist, came into sight.
This was Cloud Mist Immortal City, their destination.
This was the foundation the Wu Family had built over thousands of years, located atop the main peak of Cloud Mist Mountain, relying on a Tier Three lower-grade Spirit Vein.
At this moment, the gates of Cloud Mist Immortal City were tightly shut, and spiritual light flowed along the city walls, indicating the city’s protective Spirit Shield had been activated.
Outside the shield, a few miles before the city gates, black mist swirled.
More than thirty demon cultivators, dressed oddly, blocked the main road to the city gates, shouting profanities and abusive words, aiming to provoke the Wu Family inside Cloud Mist Immortal City.
At the rear of the demon cultivator group, stood four figures with calm and relaxed demeanors.
Leading them was a seemingly elegant young man holding a folding fan, his face youthful with a few strands of an evil smile, having a somewhat roguish charm.
This person was the Elysium Demon Lord of the Hehuan Sect, who had lived over four hundred years, with cultivation at the late stage of the True Pill, specializing in manipulating people’s hearts and controlling desires.
To the left of the Elysium Demon Lord was a charming female cultivator whose eyes flowed with tender affection, the birth mother of Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting, Liu Ruyan.
She was originally a loose cultivator with some beauty and shrewdness.
After joining the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, she methodically became a direct disciple of the Demon Lord, condensing a Fake Pill, showing some skills.
Back in the day, she had enamored Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting’s father, Wu Fangrui, almost marrying into the Wu family had it not been for the timely intervention of the Wu family elders.
At the moment, Liu Ruyan was intimately close to the Elysium Demon Lord, with soft and flirtatious words, clearly holding a hint of ambiguity.
The other two had similar auras, both Fake Pill Demon Lords.
One was a towering nine feet tall man, with a face full of horizontal flesh, muscles knotted, carrying a massive black open mountain demon axe on his shoulder, the axe blade gleaming with cold light, emanating evil qi.
This person was named Wu Xiaotian, the Elysium Demon Lord’s most valued male direct disciple.
The other was a female cultivator, graceful and slim, dressed in a green dress, with a pleasant appearance but a few traces of coldness in her gaze.
She was the Elysium Demon Lord’s other direct disciple, named Immortal Miaoyu, Liu Ruyan’s junior sister.
The cyan-colored flying ship’s appearance quickly caught the attention of the Hehuan Sect demon cultivators.
After all, they had blocked Cloud Mist Immortal City for more than ten days, isolating inside and out, with no cultivators daring to appear.
However, being members of the Hehuan Sect, even the weakest amongst them were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and had sharp perceptions.
The cyan-colored flying ship moved swiftly towards them, indicating that the cultivator controlling the ship was likely not to be trifled with.
This instinctively made those demon cultivators lower their voices a bit, not daring to rashly obstruct them.
On the flying ship, Wu Yuting showed a hint of worry as she saw the blocked gates of Cloud Mist City.
"Senior brother, the gates are blocked. Shouldn’t we enter the city quietly through the rear mountain path? There’s a hidden array set up by the Wu family there..."
"No need."
Shen Xuan stood at the bow of the ship, his attire fluttering, his expression calm.
His gaze swept over the group of demon cultivators ahead, lingering for a few breaths on the Elysium Demon Lord.
"We will enter through the main gate."
Wu Yuting wanted to persuade further but was stopped by Wu Xueting.
"Sister, listen to senior brother."
Wu Yuting glanced at her sister and reluctantly said, "Alright. We’ll do as senior brother says."
Shen Xuan piloted the flying ship, slightly accelerating it, as they flew directly towards the main gates of Cloud Mist Immortal City.
In doing so, they naturally faced the Hehuan Sect’s demon cultivators head-on.
"Xueting! Yuting!"
After many years, Liu Ruyan still recognized her two daughters on the flying ship at a glance.
She became excited immediately, calling out loudly, wanting to go over.
The Elysium Demon Lord lightly shook the folding fan in his hand, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes, but he did not stop her.
"Called for reinforcements. Very well. Xiaotian, go bring my two grand-disciples over."
Wu Xiaotian, who was carrying an enormous axe, had been waiting impatiently, and upon hearing this, laughed grimly, "Yes, master."
With that, demonic qi surged around him as he charged straight towards the flying ship.
Immortal Miaoyu covered her mouth with a coy laugh, her voice soft and charming, with a hidden implication.
"No need to rush, Senior Sister Ruyan. Your treasured daughters may have long since found another backer and might not even recognize you."
"Look at the young gentleman by their side, distinguished and extraordinary. Such a talent must be their senior brother, True Master Profound Ice."
"Even with our master involved, a Golden Core True Master from Cyan Cloud Sect may not necessarily be impressed."
Though her words seemed teasing, they were actually provocative.
Liu Ruyan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
With a slight motion, she transformed into a cyan escape light, following Wu Xiaotian towards the flying ship.
Seeing them approaching, Shen Xuan slowly brought the flying ship to a halt.
Cyan Cloud Sect and Hehuan Sect were still in an alliance.
Without a special reason, it wasn’t appropriate to take action.
"Come down."
Shen Xuan was the first to disembark from the ship.
The four followed him down.
After collecting the flying ship, Shen Xuan then looked at the people opposite.
"Is this True Master Profound Ice in person?"
Wu Xiaotian appeared reckless but was actually a meticulous person.
In the Demon Sect, those who were reckless didn’t even know how high the grass on their grave mounds had grown.
"Oh, who might you be?"
