**Chapter 25: Try Again Next Time**

After killing the members of the Flying Immortal Sect and the old monk, Chen Ansheng’s time to descend to the mortal realm had come.

He only instructed Li Huaizhen to handle subsequent matters and returned to the Immortal Realm.

……

Shortly after Chen Ansheng’s departure, a grand procession from the Yao Yue Sect arrived at the True Immortal Sect’s residence.

“Elder Wei Tianhong of the Yao Yue Sect, here by command to seek an audience with Old Ancestor Chen.”

The one leading the Yao Yue Sect bowed respectfully at the gate of the True Immortal Sect.

Before the Yao Yue Sect could receive a reply, another group flew in from the horizon.

“Elder Zhou Wuyan of the Taihao Immortal Sect comes by command to congratulate the True Immortal Sect on its establishment. I bring a modest gift and hope it is accepted.”

As the words fell, more than ten massive demon beasts came rolling in, pulling carts that landed before the mountain gate.

“Eh, isn’t that Yu Dazhi? Why are you lying here covered in blood?”

As both sects landed, they quickly noticed Yu Dazhi lying on the ground unable to move.

“Brothers, I was greedy for a moment and made a grave mistake. I implore you to intercede on my behalf with that celestial being and spare my life!”

Seeing Yu Dazhi in this state, the other two sect elders scolded him silently for being a foolish mule.

He must have come looking for trouble and ended up crippled by that figure from the True Immortal Sect; he deserves this fate.

Intercede for such a person? Impossible! They could end up risking their own lives, so the two sect elders simply ignored Yu Dazhi’s pleas.

Immediately, Wei Tianhong and Zhou Wuyan bowed again and sincerely sought an audience.

After multiple entreaties, Li Huaizhen flew out from the immortal gate.

Upon seeing Li Huaizhen, whose body was filled with demonic energy, both elders couldn’t help but feel a chilling sensation.

This person’s strength should not be underestimated.

“This must be Sect Leader Li? I am honored to meet you, Sect Leader Li.” Zhou Wuyan was the first to pay his respects.

“Are you here to congratulate, or to cause trouble?!” Li Huaizhen coldly asked.

The two elders glanced at the bloodied Yu Dazhi on the ground and felt a chill in their hearts. They hurriedly said, “Dare we cause trouble? We sincerely come to congratulate, unlike some petty people who make trouble under the guise of seeking justice. I suggest this kind of scum should be put to death immediately.”

“Poof.”

Yu Dazhi spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger.

“Long Chú, you’ve harmed our sect terribly. What about the promised beacon of hope?”

At this moment, Yu Dazhi felt as if he were being stabbed a thousand times.

“Where is your esteemed master? I would like to see what kind of dragon among men he is.”

Yao Hongxue had deliberately dressed up today, exuding a certain ethereal charm, even more beautiful than usual.

“Sister Hongxue, you look beautiful today.”

Lianxing immediately flew to her side upon seeing Yao Hongxue.

The disciples of both sides couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.

This woman was gentle and graceful, without any makeup, yet like a flower of immortality in bloom, leaving one feeling refreshed and entranced, rivaling even the beloved Yao Hongxue.

“Lianxing, you surpass your elder sister.”

Yao Hongxue smiled lightly. The two sisters had grown up relying on each other in the same village, their bond deep, and she felt no jealousy towards Lianxing.

“Hehe, not at all.”

Lianxing spoke shyly, lowering her head. “Sister Hongxue, I can’t hide this from you. Our sect master has promised me to the Old Ancestor of the True Immortal Sect, so please don’t be angry.”

Yao Hongxue paused for a moment, her expression darkening slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Lianxing panicked. “If you’re not happy, I’ll… I’ll decline.”

“Silly girl, how could I blame you? I just worry that fellow is ugly and of poor character and may bring you harm,” Yao Hongxue said.

“You haven’t met my esteemed master, how can you make baseless assumptions!”

At that moment, Qing’er and the other maidens descended.

Hearing Yao Hongxue’s groundless accusations against her master, Qing’er felt displeased.

All eyes turned to Qing’er and the maidens.

“Heavens, have I arrived in a fairy cave? Why is everyone so extraordinarily beautiful?”

Upon seeing Qing’er, everyone was once again struck by her astounding beauty.

Compared to Yao Hongxue and Lianxing, this girl before them was slightly more voluptuous, exuding a hint of seductive charm that naturally drew one’s imagination.

To call her a breathtaking beauty would be to understate her allure.

Even the plain-dressed maidens behind her were not to be outdone in appearance.

The two women stared for a moment before Yao Hongxue snapped back to her senses and asked, “Miss, who are you?”

Qing’er replied coolly, “You should be able to tell, I am a demon cultivator. My esteemed master took me in as a steed, and I usually serve as a maid by his side.”

A maid possessing such breathtaking beauty, that fellow was indeed quite fortunate.

In that instant, Yao Hongxue’s sense of pride was largely overshadowed by Qing’er’s enchanting beauty.

“To be honest, I come by my master’s order for a marriage alliance with your esteemed master. I wonder why he is not here to greet me?” Yao Hongxue inquired.

While they spoke of a marriage alliance, it was merely Yuan Qingshan offering her to Chen Ansheng, and she had not comprehended it, thinking it to be an actual union.

“Come back in a few days, and by the way, my master has high standards and does not fancy garish makeup. However, the one beside you might appeal to his taste.”

Qing’er, having shared a night with Chen Ansheng, had firmly etched his preferences in her mind.

Yao Hongxue felt a sudden surge of anger.

She had intended to be furious, but seeing the wailing Yu Dazhi lying on the ground, she feared the consequences.

“Hmph, what’s so great about it! If it weren’t for my master’s earnest persuasion, I wouldn’t have come to you at all. I actually prefer heavy makeup. Farewell!”

“What Qing’er said is the truth; being angry won’t change anything.”

Qing’er shook her head slightly. After that, she led the maidens away.

“Today, my master is not receiving guests. You can leave your gifts here and return another day.”

Li Huaizhen, too, spoke up.

If it were up to him, he wouldn’t accept these gifts.

However, his master had taught him that if someone brings a gift, refusing it seems disrespectful.

The elders from both sects felt slightly displeased. They had brought such lavish gifts, yet couldn’t even earn an audience—where could they argue about it?

Well, who asked the other party to be a highly regarded figure whom everyone feared?

“Then we will take our leave for now and come visit again another day,” they said helplessly.

“Everyone, don’t go! Help me! Whoever saves my life, I will appoint as Elder!” Yu Dazhi cried, his blood nearly drained, tears streaming down as he begged.

“You foolish mule, my ancestor wouldn’t dare provoke the True Immortal Sect, and here you are seeking death. You deserve this,” Wei Tianhong kicked Yu Dazhi, feeling a sense of pleasure upon seeing his pitiful state, secretly admiring the wisdom of the Old Ancestor and Sect Leader.

“Sect Leader Li, I—I have sinned. I repent. Please ask your esteemed master for mercy on my behalf. I, Yu Dazhi, am willing to serve him as a beast for a lifetime…”

Swish!

Yu Dazhi’s worth had run out; Li Huaizhen delivered him a fatal blow, splitting him in half.

“The Flying Immortal Sect’s territory is indeed rich and fertile.”

Li Huaizhen mumbled to himself, rising into the air to reclaim the territory of the Flying Immortal Sect.

……

Immortal Realm.

Chen Ansheng rested in the barren cave for an hour, recovering his stamina.

“The eighth day of the third month is the day Qian Yue Cave opens its gates to recruit disciples. I must set off.”

It was more than eight thousand miles to travel, and the laws of the Immortal Realm differed from the mortal realm. Chen Ansheng couldn’t fly, and walking would take several months.

Taking a transmission array would waste money.

Thus, he planned to take a beast cart and head out half a month in advance.
