The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 309: The Holy Son

The old man sensed that something was off, but he didn’t ask any further questions.

As he had always believed, young people should handle their own affairs. And if Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen had really sparked something between them, he would be more than happy.

At first, he had taken Su Jingzhen as his disciple out of obligation. But as time passed, he had grown to be extremely grateful for having taken Su Jingzhen under his wing.

With Su Jingzhen’s potential constantly bursting forth, he felt that Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai might not be entirely impossible.

Su Jingzhen was more than qualified to handle some of the things that Luo Yuebai was unwilling to do.

“Yuebai, you’re here too. What a coincidence. You both came at the same time. Where’s Xuening? I haven’t seen her since she returned to the Evil Moon Sect.”

Luo Yuebai responded to Shen Yifeng’s question, “Xuening has been in seclusion since the day she returned to the Evil Moon Sect. It seems she has gained some insight, and I didn’t dare disturb her.”

Su Jingzhen nodded in agreement beside Luo Yuebai. When he had gone to find Xuening earlier, he had been told that she was in seclusion and hadn’t disturbed her.

After this Alchemist Conference and the trip to the Spiritual Medicine Sect, it was normal for Xuening to have some realizations after calming down after so many things happened.

He knew that once Xuening emerged from her seclusion, she might be able to break through to the level of a fourth-grade alchemist.

As for the arrangements for the personnel from the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Xuening was a key figure in Su Jingzhen’s plan. He intended to let Xuening manage them once they had all moved to the Evil Moon Sect.

Xuening was a descendant of the Dantai clan, and the Spiritual Medicine Sect had a decent foundation. If she were to manage them, both sides might undergo a transformation.

After saying this, Luo Yuebai’s gaze turned serious as she looked at Shen Yifeng, her eyes seeming to deliberately ignore Su Jingzhen.

“Third Grandfather, I received a secret report that he’s making a move.”

Luo Yuebai’s tone was heavy with concern. Su Jingzhen saw a flicker of worry in her eyes.

Combining this with what Luo Yuebai had told him earlier about the situation in the Evil Moon Sect, Su Jingzhen’s brow furrowed once more.

He knew that Luo Yuebai was worried about some trouble within the Evil Moon Sect.

Shen Yifeng’s brow also furrowed upon hearing Luo Yuebai’s words.

“He said before that he would let you act first. He gave you half a month’s time, and now it’s indeed time for him to act. But have you found out where he plans to establish his sect?”

Luo Yuebai replied, “I only heard that he led his people towards the direction of Holy City. I believe he won’t go back on his previous promise.

So, he should choose a small city on the outskirts of Holy City, but I don’t know which one specifically.

With his abilities, we might receive news within the next two days.”

Luo Yuebai’s tone was still heavy with concern.

Su Jingzhen, however, was completely lost. He couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

Finally, he couldn’t resist asking, “Master, what’s going on? Who is this person you’re talking about?”

As the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch, Su Jingzhen was clueless about the internal affairs of the sect.

Luo Yuebai glanced at him, still expressionless. It was clear that she wasn’t going to explain anything to him voluntarily.

After a moment of thought, Shen Yifeng gestured for them to sit down in the courtyard’s pavilion.

He then looked at Su Jingzhen and said, “As my disciple, you should know about some things. Actually, Yuebai has been under a lot of pressure lately. Or rather, our Linjiang branch has been under a lot of pressure.”

Su Jingzhen’s expression was puzzled. In his opinion, the Evil Moon Sect had taken over Linjiang City, and he had even absorbed the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

The other sects in the Qingzhou region hadn’t dared to cause any trouble. Everything seemed to be going well.

Where was this talk of pressure coming from?

But he didn’t ask any questions, waiting quietly for Shen Yifeng to continue.

Shen Yifeng said, “You might only know that Yuebai is the Evil Moon Sect’s chief saintess.

But you don’t know that we also have a Holy Son!

He’s two years older than Yuebai, only twenty-five or six years old, but his cultivation has already reached the late Golden Core stage!

With his foundation, it’s highly possible that he’s already qualified to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

His talent is definitely not inferior to Yuebai’s.”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes widened in surprise.

Su Jingzhen wasn’t too shocked by the news.

In the past, such achievements would have been unimaginable for him, but now, with his golden finger, he wasn’t too impressed by a 25-26 year old Golden Core cultivator.

At least, he was confident that by the time he reached that age, he would far surpass that level.

But Shen Yifeng’s deliberate mention of the Holy Son’s existence made Su Jingzhen’s heart slightly wary.

The terms “Holy Son” and “Saintess” always made people think of two words: perfect match!

However, in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, Luo Yuebai was already his. He wouldn’t let anyone else covet her.

But his heart was also slightly heavy. Although he had the golden finger and his potential was limitless, for now, at least within the Evil Moon Sect, he couldn’t compare to the Holy Son.

Shen Yifeng continued, “The Holy Son’s name is Zou Zeyu. In terms of status, he and Yuebai are equal. Our Evil Moon Sect doesn’t have as many rules as other sects, and we don’t discriminate against female cultivators, so both Yuebai and Zou Zeyu are candidates for the next sect leader.”

Su Jingzhen roughly understood the situation. This wasn’t a secret within the Evil Moon Sect’s headquarters, but not everyone was qualified to know.

Shen Yifeng’s decision to inform him meant that he was treating him as one of his own.

Shen Yifeng said, “The Evil Moon Sect went from being secret to being open, and directly and openly established a branch sect in Linjiang City. In fact, it was the content of the competition between Yuebai and Zou Zeyu.

They will each lead a group of Evil Moon Sect members and randomly choose a small, unknown city as their starting point.

The goal is to establish a branch sect within a year, and the one with the stronger comprehensive strength will become the next sect leader!

The winner can also make a request to the loser!”

“Zou Zeyu thinks his cultivation is higher than Yuebai’s, so he voluntarily delayed his action by half a month.”

Shen Yifeng looked at Su Jingzhen with a meaningful gaze. “Zou Zeyu grew up with Yuebai in the Evil Moon Sect. His feelings for Yuebai are well-known within the sect.

Perhaps, after winning the competition, he will make a request to Yuebai. And at that time, according to the sect’s rules, Yuebai won’t have the right to refuse.”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that there was more to this situation than he had initially thought.
