Capítulo 908: Chapter 396: Hidden in the Shadows, Dividing Land and Building Schools
This group is made up of so loose cultivators from the Haori Mountain Territory, along with mbers from several small sects that have betrayed the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Their backgrounds vary widely, so they’re not exactly on the sa page. He remained silent, and others were hesitant to ask questions, yet they murmured among themselves:
“Go back? How can we go back? Can that Mirage Mirror conceal our flying escape?”
Old Monster Li’s expression looked sowhat grim: “No, if we use mana, not just Divinity Transformation cultivators, even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can notice sothing amiss. It’s not safe.”
“Then…”
The group looked at each other, unsure what to do.
At this point, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator hesitantly spoke up: “I… I have an idea.”
“Hmm?”
“My family is nearby and has so connections. If we disguise ourselves as a mortal rchant caravan, hiding our spiritual power, perhaps we could have a chance to escape alive.”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Even Old Monster Li nodded repeatedly in agreent: “Though risky, it’s not a bad idea. However, we are unfamiliar with this area, and disguising ourselves might lead to mistakes. Do you have confidence?”
The Foundation Establishnt cultivator nodded firmly: “I previously had a personal servant who ca from my family’s tenant farrs. Later, he seed to live nearby.”
Old Monster Li thought for a while and gritted his teeth: “Lead to him.”
With the Treasure Mirror’s protection, they arrived at a village.
Old Monster Li used his Divine Sense to probe from afar and found the servant’s residence at the end of the village.
“Young master?”
A frail, old man with white hair sat at the door. Seeing the Foundation Establishnt cultivator, he was taken aback and exclaid in surprise.
The Foundation Establishnt cultivator appeared youthful, yet their eting resembled that of a grandfather and grandson.
“Young master, why have you co… I will find my family to prepare a al and greet the young master!”
Noticing the lack of people at ho, Old Monster Li felt satisfied and gestured to the Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
“No rush.” The Foundation Establishnt cultivator understood and said, “I heard from the family that you later engaged in so comrce?”
“Yes, after young master entered the Immortal Sect, I was blessed by your kindness to work as a manager in the family’s rchant caravan. Now that I’m old, I’ve returned to the farm.”
“I need you to help find so carts and gather people familiar with trade routes.”
The Foundation Establishnt cultivator stated directly.
“This…” The old man paused, his expression indicating he had understood the situation, “Young master, I haven’t been out for over ten years. I need to inquire first.”
“Be quick!”
“Yes!”
After hearing their conversation, Old Monster Li glanced at the old man and suddenly produced a porcelain bottle: “Swallow it.”
The old man trembled, looking towards the Foundation Establishnt cultivator, but this young master he hadn’t seen for many years turned his head away.
“I…”
“Hmm?”
Old Monster Li released his Nascent Soul aura.
The pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator is not sothing ordinary people can resist.
Quickly, the old man trembled as he swallowed a blue pill from the bottle.
“This pill is extrely poisonous. Every half-month I’ll give you a detoxification pill. After we leave this location, I’ll cure you.”
The old man’s face turned ashen.
“Don’t think that being old makes you unafraid of death.” Old Monster Li, still worried, added, “Your surna is Xie, with two sons, a daughter, and four grandchildren…”
“…I don’t dare! I don’t dare!”
The old man, with a sob in his voice, softly replied.
Old Monster Li chuckled softly: “As long as you see us off safely, I can offer your sons and grandsons so immortality opportunities.”
The old man’s expression shifted to hopeful, nodding repeatedly while watching the two leave.
…
“Dad! Dad!”
Old Mr. Xie was lost in thought when his oldest son’s shouts broke his reverie, causing him to focus on his son.
“What?”
“Dad, what are you thinking about?”
Old Mr. Xie shook his head, aware that this was a life-threatening matter that couldn’t be shared.
Seeing his silence, his son didn’t press for more, but instead said: “Immortals from Jiushan Sect have arrived in town!”
“Jiushan Sect?”
His eldest son whispered: “Dad, you might not know, but it seems our main family… has betrayed Jiushan Sect, and now they’ve all vanished!”
Old Mr. Xie shuddered: “Betrayed?”
His eldest son quickly reassured him: “Don’t worry, Dad. I heard that if you’re not a direct relative of an Immortal, Jiushan Sect doesn’t care.”
Old Mr. Xie nodded gently, his worries slightly eased.
But suddenly, a knock ca at the door, and Old Mr. Xie shivered, looking at the person outside with a deep sense of fear.
A young man stood at the door, dressed in a long robe resembling a Daoist robe, with nine mountains embroidered at the hem.
Old Mr. Xie hadn’t seen such a robe before, but after the young master beca an Immortal, he wore a similar outfit when he returned ho!
Jiushan Sect had co!
The young man glanced at him curiously and then smiled warmly: “Is my visit unexpected?”
Old Mr. Xie quickly replied: “No! No! You are?”
“I am a disciple of Jiushan Sect. Now, this area is under Jiushan Sect’s jurisdiction. I’ve co to inform you that on the afternoon two days hence, each household should send a few of their decision-makers to town.”
“Two days hence at noon! Understood, I got it!”
The Jiushan disciple smiled and nodded, visiting each household individually to carefully relay the ssage before leaving the village.
The mbers of the Xie family watched as the disciple departed and eagerly discussed this at ho.
“An Immortal! An Immortal personally ca to our ho and talked to us, smiled at too!”
A little grandson jumped excitedly, thrilled.
Old Mr. Xie closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes twitching on his cheekbones.
“Granddad, when you go to town to et the Immortal the day after tomorrow, can you take ?”
“I want to go too!”
Bam!
Old Mr. Xie suddenly struck the table, causing the ceramic bowls on it to jump up.
“An Immortal… What’s so good about an Immortal?”
The Xie family mbers all looked at him, confused, but could only watch as he silently went into his room.
