Chapter 1240: Immortal Lord Jiuchao

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since that male vixen appeared, the Holy Master had become more and more unlike himself.

Although Sect Master Lin was filled with emotions, he still did not suspect Yan Xiaosi.

At this point, Yan Xiaosi already understood why Sect Master Lin had come looking for her. It was not that they really did not dare to search the Immortal Sect, but that they could not enter the Immortal Sect’s sphere of influence to search.

Before her father and brothers set off, they had set up a restriction within a ten-mile radius of the Immortal Sect. Outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave at will. Unless the founder of the Holy Sect and the Holy Master came personally, it was very difficult to break the Immortal Sect’s restriction.

The people from the Holy Sect had also tried to negotiate with the Immortal Sect, but the head of the sect was not around. They could only come back in a few days.

Sect Master Lin was worried about the safety of those missing people and was also worried that more victims would appear in town, so he had no choice but to beg the Holy Master. Since this matter was related to the Immortal Sect, Yan Xiaosi could not ignore it.

Yan Xiaosi said to Sect Master Lin, “Tell me the place. I’ll go take a look personally later.”

“I’ll go with the Holy Master,” Sect Master Lin said.

“There’s no need.” Yan Xiaosi was worried that Sect Master Lin would see any flaws if she interacted too much with him. “Tell me the location and I’ll go over myself. Since that person dares to capture a disciple of the Holy Sect, it means that he’s quite bold and his strength can’t be underestimated. You’re guarding the Holy Sect. Don’t let the thief take advantage of you.”

Sect Master Lin thought about it and felt that it made sense. The Grandmaster was in seclusion and the Holy Master had gone down the mountain, so he was the top expert here. If he left too, the gains would not make up for the losses if the thieves killed their way up the mountain.

It was mainly because they did not know the other party’s strength, so they could not let their guard down.

Sect Master Lin told Yan Xiaosi about the town and the location of the incident, and sent someone to inform the disciples there.

Yan Xiaosi returned to the bedchamber to change her clothes and go out. She also snatched the Little Holy Master from the hands of the young ladies who were overflowing with maternal instincts.

“Why did you bring him along?” The Demon Lord had appeared behind Yan Xiaosi.

Yan Xiaosi was shocked. She turned around and glared at him. “Don’t you make a sound when you walk?”

“I’m asking you a question,” the Demon Lord said as he glanced at the little Holy Master in the basket.

Yan Xiaosi closed the lid of the basket and said to him, “Something happened in the Immortal Sect. I’m going out, but I don’t have a token on me, so I can only bring myself.”

Her constitution was special, and she could freely enter and leave any restrictions. Of course, with the Holy Master’s strength, he could actually open the restriction. The problem was… she did not know how to control the Holy Master’s power.

Yan Xiaosi carried the small basket on her back and smiled. “Aren’t you looking for someone? I’m not around. Just search as much as you want.”

The Demon Lord smiled faintly. “Are you sure you can go down the mountain like this?”

“Why can’t I go down the mountain?” As Yan Xiaosi spoke, she was about to whistle and summon the Sacred Luan. However, just as she moved, she suddenly realized that she was no longer Yan Xiaosi. Of course, she could not ride her previous mount.

Yan Xiaosi looked at the bottomless mountain and silently swallowed her saliva. If she walked down from here… she would have to break both her legs… Besides, she might not be able to reach even when she broke them…

“Or you can learn how to ride a sword from him.” The Demon Lord leaned lazily against the door frame with his arms crossed and looked at Sect Master Lin, who had left on his sword.

Yan Xiaosi lowered her head aggrievedly. She didn’t know how.

The Demon Lord said, “Steady yourself.”

“What?” Yan Xiaosi was stunned. Before she could react, she felt something suddenly under her feet and flew out.

This was different from the kisses and hugs she loved to play with when she was young. This speed… was so fast that she could catch up to lightning. She felt that she was standing on a bolt of lightning. If she was not careful, she would be overturned by the strong wind and fall.

“Ah!” Yan Xiaosi exclaimed and instinctively hugged the Demon Lord’s waist. At first, she did not know that she was hugging a man’s waist. She only gradually felt that something was wrong after hugging him. This waist really did not have any fat and was filled with resilient strength.

Yan Xiaosi rolled her eyes and secretly pinched his waist. The Demon Lord’s body trembled and he said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move!”

Yan Xiaosi: “Oh.”

She pinched it again!

The Demon Lord :

Sect Master Lin rode his sword back to the sect. Halfway there, he felt a shadow fly over his head. He looked up in confusion and almost fell off the flying sword when he took a closer look. The man in white who was hugging the male vixen and burying his head in the male vixen’s arms… Wasn’t he their Holy Master?

Was there a need to be so intimate? He even brought the male vixen along to investigate a case? He even rode the same flying sword as him? And he even hugged his waist?!

Sect Master Lin felt that he couldn’t stand it anymore. If he continued, he would feel sore. He had been married to his wife for so many years, but he had never been so clingy!

“If this continues, it won’t be long before the entire Holy Land knows that the Holy Master has a male dao companion…” Sect Master Lin covered his eyes with a headache. With a loud bang, he bumped into a tree.

Sect Master Lin : “…

The tree : ‘

The Demon Lord flew on his sword to the open space closest to Pine Crane Town. The two of them walked the rest of the journey on foot. It was not that he cherished the reputation of the Holy Master, but they wanted to hear the commotion in town along the way.

The first missing person case was a month ago. As of last night, seventeen people had gone missing, including the disciples of the Holy Sect. These people were all young men, strong and healthy, and had proper morals. There were cultivators and ordinary people among the missing people in town. Most of the cultivators’ realms were not high, and the most powerful one was only at the late-stage of Qi Refinement. Even if Yan Xiaosi did not have any cultivation, she could capture a few with his Dharma artifacts.

“Why didn’t he capture those above the Qi Refinement Realm? Could it be that he can’t defeat them?” Yan Xiaosi asked.

“He even captured ordinary people. Perhaps his standards for capturing people have nothing to do with their realm. The people he captured just happened to not have exceeded the Qi Refinement Realm,” the Demon Lord said.

“Is that so?” Yan Xiaosi muttered.

The Demon Lord’s guess was quickly confirmed. Just as they met up with the disciples of the Holy Sect who had come to receive them at the agreed place, they were told that someone else had disappeared from town. It was a Great Void Stage expert.

There were a total of three disciples who received them. The leader was Senior Brother Jing, who had sent Yan Xiaosi and the others to the Holy Peak Mountain yesterday.

Senior Brother Jing looked at the unfamiliar man beside the Holy Master in surprise. Obviously, they didn’t know that the Holy Master had a “Dao Companion” yet, and Sect Master Lin didn’t know that the Demon Lord would follow, so he didn’t communicate with them in advance.

The Holy Master had always been alone and had never seen any friends around him. Senior Brother Jing was very puzzled. Seeing that the Holy Master had no intention of explaining, he tactfully suppressed this doubt.

“Who do you suspect did it?” Yan Xiaosi asked.

“We suspect that it’s the demons,” Senior Brother Jing said.

The Demon Lord’s eyes flickered.

Yan Xiaosi touched her chin. “Is there any evidence?”

Senior Brother Jing said seriously, “Last night, our junior brothers fought with that person. The reason why our junior brothers disappeared was because they chased after him. According to the junior brothers who stayed, that person has a very powerful demonic aura. He should be a demonic cultivator.”

“What about his realm?” Yan Xiaosi asked.

Senior Brother Jing shook his head. “I’m not sure. Perhaps his realm is too high for us to see through. Or perhaps he has a Dharma artifact that hides his realm.”

“Where did the disciples chase him to before disappearing?

“There.” Senior Brother Jing waved his hand and pointed at a mountain range in front. “We suspect that the missing cultivators and commoners were also captured there.”

“Immortal Grass Mountain?” The Immortal Grass Mountain was the mountain range his mother had named. It was a natural barrier to the south of the Immortal Sect. Usually, there was no problem. Only when his father and brothers went out would they set up restrictions that did not allow outsiders to enter.

However, her father and mother were no longer in the Immortal Sect a month ago. In other words, this place had always been restricted. Then, how did they barge in?

“The disciples behind also tried to chase after him, but they were all blocked outside by restrictions,” Senior Brother Jing said.

So… the only one who could pass through the restriction was the culprit?

Yan Xiaosi suddenly thought of something and said, “Do you still suspect that the people from the Immortal Sect are also involved?”

Senior Brother Jing did not know that the person standing opposite him was the daughter of the Immortal Sect. He said in detail, “Other than the Immortal Sect, I can’t figure out who else has the key to open the restriction.”

The Demon Lord, who had been silent all this while, said casually, “How can the Immortal Sect collude with the demons?”

“I’m afraid you don’t know this, Fellow Daoist. The Immortal Sect…” Senior Brother Jing hesitated for a moment. Seeing that his Holy Master had no intention of stopping him, he continued,” The Immortal Sect is actually related to the demons. The new Demon Lord of the demons once had a deep relationship with the Immortal Sect. He was an adopted son picked up by the Madam of the Immortal Sect from outside. Not many people know this secret. I hope Fellow Daoist doesn’t tell anyone.”

My mother has an adopted son? Why didn’t I know? No one mentioned it to me!

“Besides…” Senior Brother Jing continued, “The case happened after the Sect Master and Madam of the Immortal Sect went out and the three young masters entered seclusion to cultivate. The timing is also quite coincidental.”

“You mean my…” My parents and brothers did it? Yan Xiaosi stopped in time. She coughed lightly and said seriously, “Is it appropriate for us to suspect such an open and aboveboard sect just because of such a coincidence?”

Open and aboveboard? Senior Brother Jing was dumbfounded. Holy Master, do you have any misunderstandings about being open and aboveboard? The entire Holy Land had been tricked by Immortal Lord Jiuchao.. Have you forgotten how he became rich?
