214: Rumors about the Demon Cult's High Priest!

Li Shengyuan then smiled calmly and said with composure, "Perhaps this is our destiny. We've been in the Northern Territory together for a long time, and the Sword Dao I've comprehended has some similarities with his...."

"Perhaps..." Sword Saint Dugu nodded, still with a hint of suspicion in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The familiarity he felt wasn't due to similar Sword Dao, but rather an indescribable feeling.

The Chancellor looked at Li Shengyuan calmly and said, "During the time you were in the Northern Territory, Chu Chunqiu also discovered many clues about the Demon Sect and the Demon Race in Jiangnan. If there's anything you want to know, you can ask him."

Li Shengyuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He patted Chu Chunqiu's shoulder and smiled appreciatively, "Senior Brother, I thought you only knew how to drink and visit brothels! I didn't expect you to have done so many important things without realizing it!"

"Let's gather at Drunken Immortal Pavilion later and have a good drink. Don't worry, it's on me!"

"Cough, cough... This... Let's talk about this later... Let's talk about it later..."

Chu Chunqiu gave Li Shengyuan a somewhat embarrassed glare, thinking, 'You brat, haven't I treated you well before?'

'Can't you see Chancellor and Sword Saint Dugu sitting right next to us? Can't you hold back a bit?'

'Although my Chu Chunqiu's dashing and uninhibited nature is well-known, you should at least leave a good impression of me in front of Chancellor!'

Chu Chunqiu glanced at Chancellor's face, and seeing his expressionless face, he felt even more flustered.

Looking at Sword Saint Dugu again, there was no hint of mockery on his face. Instead, he was drinking tea with a calm, faint smile.

In fact, Chancellor had long since come to terms with it. His eldest disciple's cultivation account was practically Waste, and he didn't hold much hope.

Fortunately, his second disciple was quite good, upright, and not led astray by his Senior Brother. It was just his speaking habits... Alas...

As for his third and fourth disciples, there was no need to say more...

What kind of karma was this...

Thinking of this, Chancellor felt a faint sadness and lost interest in arguing further with Li Shengyuan.

He said coldly, "If there's nothing else, you two can leave. Dugu and I still have a game of chess to play..."

"Chunqiu, help Shengyuan more. Don't idle around all day."

"Yes, Chancellor," Chu Chunqiu nodded nervously.

Li Shengyuan was about to leave when a thought flashed through his mind. He asked with a serious expression, "Chancellor, have you ever met the Demon Sect High Priest?"

Chancellor nodded calmly, "I have. You encountered that old fellow's external manifestation at Shanhai Pass, didn't you?"

"That's right. Can you tell me about the Demon Sect High Priest?" Li Shengyuan asked with a serious expression.

Chancellor was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This person is very powerful. A thousand years ago, during the Great Yu Dynasty, he was a figure second only to one person and above ten thousand. The Demon Sect remnants have been active in Great Qian for so many years without being destroyed, and he is indispensable!"

"If you encounter that old fellow in the future, avoid him."

Li Shengyuan's heart trembled upon hearing this. This person was actually an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years!

Moreover, his status was very high in the previous dynasty, which meant he was a top-tier expert of the First Rank a thousand years ago!

After a thousand years, after so much time, how strong must such an old monster be now?

Although he didn't underestimate the opponent in his heart, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "He hasn't been able to break through to the Transcendent Rank in over a thousand years. This guy isn't that powerful, besides being resilient. Wasn't he still defeated by High Ancestor Emperor of Great Qian?"

Chancellor and the others looked at Li Shengyuan, somewhat speechless, as if what he said was indeed the case...

After a moment, Chancellor said calmly, "That being said... you still need to be careful. This person is still very capable. When he lost to High Ancestor Emperor of Great Qian, he also saw the situation clearly, knowing that the Great Yu was too corrupt to be saved, so he led his people away from the Imperial City to preserve their strength."

"Don't worry, I, Li Shengyuan, will not underestimate anyone. I understand the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit, let alone when the enemy is not a rabbit!" Li Shengyuan nodded solemnly.

Then he smiled slightly, "Then, Chancellor, Senior Brother and I will take our leave first. You two enjoy your chat."

"Mm."

Li Shengyuan and Chu Chunqiu left side by side.

After leaving the Star Gazing Platform, Chu Chunqiu let out a long sigh, then took out his wine gourd and took a big gulp of wine to calm himself.

After drinking until he was slightly tipsy, Chu Chunqiu looked at Li Shengyuan complainingly and said, "Li Shengyuan, you almost got me killed! If Chancellor had wanted to purge the sect just now, I would have been finished..."

Li Shengyuan glanced at the drunkard and laughed mockingly, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, Chancellor won't purge the sect. He has long given up on you, his ' Waste' Senior Brother!"

Chu Chunqiu froze in place, then showed a look of grief, "I knew I shouldn't have drunk. I've disappointed Chancellor too much..."

He then took another big gulp of wine to soothe his sorrowful heart.

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but feel speechless at the sight. You know you shouldn't drink, yet the wine gourd is always by your side.

If this guy's blood were tested, Li Shengyuan would suspect it's 1 milliliter of blood in 100 milliliters of wine...

Li Shengyuan and Chu Chunqiu arrived at the middle of Mount Dengxian when a sorrowful wail reached their ears.

"Wuwuwu... I knew I shouldn't have gambled. I lost everything again. These guys only know how to bully people..."

Li Shengyuan's expression became incredibly strange upon hearing this. He thought, 'Chancellor's disciples are truly one more eccentric than the last!'
