311: Nascent Soul level demon!

Yunhe, a Peak Golden Core True Person and Second Senior Brother of the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch, had previously been responsible for the cooperation between the Beast Taming Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, and his natal spirit beast was an Early Nascent Soul Stage Formless Crane.

Now that he was personally heading to the Peach Blossom Sect, it meant this was no longer a minor skirmish, but a real, all-out effort!

"Third Senior Sister, from what I know, the current situation in the Peach Blossom Sect is somewhat strange. Could it be... that there is some trap in this?"

Liu Xuan did not believe that Yun Xian would be unaware of a problem he himself could see; he asked this question not to remind her, but to seek clarification.

Yun Xian looked at Liu Xuan with slight surprise. "You actually have some cleverness to be able to see that there is a problem with the Peach Blossom Sect."

"Regardless of what conspiracy or trap the Peach Blossom Sect has, the war must continue and cannot be slowed down."

"The Beast Taming Sect's Cultivator army is rushing to the border battlefield every day, and with more and more people arriving, if we don't fight, it will only lead to trouble and waste resources for nothing."

Yun Xian had spoken for a long time without revealing what Liu Xuan truly wanted to know: what exactly did the Peach Blossom Demon Lord of the Peach Blossom Sect intend to do?

That was a Late Nascent Soul Stage great demon; she alone possessed the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

Analyzing from various previous events, her keeping the battlefield within the Peach Blossom Sect's territory clearly indicated other motives.

Although the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch had sent many people, could they really deal with a Peach Blossom Demon Lord who had the support of the Demon Court?

Seeing Liu Xuan's expression, Yun Xian immediately knew what he was worried about and chuckled.

"You, a tiny Foundation Establishment Cultivator, why worry about the overall situation of the battlefield?" A hint of arrogance appeared in her eyes. "This time, our Beast Taming Sect aims to expand the territory for the Human Race. Even the Endless Demon Court with its Hua Shen Demon Saint cannot stop us, so what can the Peach Blossom Demon Lord do?"

"Third Senior Sister is right!" Liu Xuan bowed and saluted. "This Junior Brother is short-sighted, timid, and only wants to live a stable life."

'Timid? I think you have quite a lot of guts, kid!' Yun Xian thought to herself.

Since she achieved the Golden Core True Person Realm, which Foundation Establishment Cultivator wasn't respectful to her? There were very few who could converse with her so calmly!

"Rest assured! Based on your current value and your relationship with Junior Sister Yun Xi, the Sect will not let you go to the most dangerous places on the battlefield!" Yun Xian reassured him.

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he had been waiting for. He immediately bowed deeply and shouted, "Many thanks for your care, Third Senior Sister! From now on, I will follow your lead!"

The two chatted for a while. Yun Xian went to order her subordinates to instruct the Disciples in the city to attend to matters, while Liu Xuan instructed Lin Xue'er, Xiao Ran, and the other women to arrange for the reception of the potentially arriving True Person Yunhe.

...

Three days later.

The sky over Feiyu City suddenly darkened, and a terrifying Flying Boat that blotted out the sun seemed to appear out of thin air above their heads.

Winds and clouds changed, lightning flashed; the mere appearance of this Flying Boat caused changes in the celestial phenomena.

A Fourth-Rank Celestial Phenomenon Flying Boat, the personal transport of True Person Yunhe, possessed unfathomable abilities and could suppress a region of space.

Red Pine Sect.

Outside the Formation barrier, a space flickered like a mosaic twice, and then two figures appeared.

One was an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles; the other was a little Daoist boy with red lips, white teeth, and excessively pale skin.

A moment later.

The Formation barrier opened, and a group of people flew down to welcome them, shouting in unison, "Greetings, True Person Yunhe! Greetings, Young Master Yun Xu!"

Yun Xian led An Yunxi forward. "Greetings, Second Senior Brother. Greetings, Young Master Yun Xu."

"Second Senior Brother!" An Yunxi seemed somewhat afraid of this Second Senior Brother. After calling out to him, she lowered her head and stayed silent, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Everyone, dispense with the formalities!" True Person Yunhe smiled kindly, then stepped through the air toward Yun Xian and An Yunxi.

"Junior Sister, you still want to stay here?" He asked.

An Yunxi hesitated, subconsciously looked back at Liu Xuan, and then nodded firmly.

"Very well!" True Person Yunhe was not angry and nodded gently. "The Academy Head Revered Master and First Senior Sister will be here soon, so just stay here peacefully and don't run around."

"Really?!"

"Many thanks, Second Senior Brother!"

An Yunxi became happy at once. Although her Second Senior Brother was good to her, he had always been strict, and she had thought he would forcibly take her away this time!

The four chatted for a while, and Yun Xian led the people to the North Courtyard guest hall. Xiao Changfeng, Yue Li, and quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Red Pine Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect were waiting there.

Liu Xuan followed along the whole time, watching without any intention of standing out; these were real big shots, and he did not want to crowd them.

The white-haired old man, True Person Yunhe, had Peak Golden Core cultivation, and he had already been at Peak Golden Core a hundred years ago; he might break through at any moment.

That red-lipped, white-toothed Young Master Yun Xu was even more extraordinary. Liu Xuan used his Eye of Delusion Breaking to take a look and saw a translucent crane phantom behind him; its aura was Nascent Soul Realm, scaring Liu Xuan into immediately retracting his Divine Ability, not daring to look further.

A Nascent Soul Great Demon! This was already two major Realms above Liu Xuan; even the Eye of Delusion Breaking could not fully see through the other party.

Furthermore, the illusory god treasure robe was only a Fourth-Rank Low Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure. If Yun Xu had cultivated a Divine Ability similar to the Eye of Delusion Breaking and noticed him, he would be completely exposed!

To be honest, Liu Xuan regretted provoking An Yunxi. This girl had too powerful a background; while she brought benefits, she also brought huge risks.

Yun Xian, Yunhe, and this Early Nascent Soul Stage great demon Yun Xu were all staying at the Red Pine Sect because of her.

Just when he feared something, it happened. While Liu Xuan just wanted to hide in the back and be a little transparent, he suddenly noticed Young Master Yun Xu staring at him curiously.

His body seemed to disappear like a deleted image, and the next second, he appeared in front of Liu Xuan.

"You must be Liu Xuan, right?" He frowned slightly, his expression becoming puzzled. "Why do you give me a feeling of... inexplicable familiarity?"

Yun Xu was not telling the truth; the feeling Liu Xuan gave him was not familiarity, but a sense of danger, reverence, submission... an extremely complex feeling.

However, this feeling was not obvious; it was flickering in and out, and if one tried to perceive it carefully, one could feel nothing at all.

Before Liu Xuan could speak, An Yunxi, who was in front of him, stepped forward and said, "Yun Xu, Liu Xuan is our Junior Brother. You are not allowed to bully him!"

Yun Xu was stunned!

He shook his head and said, "Junior Sister Yun Xi, I am a student of the Gentlemans Academy. When have you ever seen me bully anyone?"

An Yunxi recalled, and it seemed to be true. Yun Xu looked like a little Daoist boy of thirteen or fourteen, harmless to humans and animals, and she had indeed never seen him bully anyone.

The Gentlemans Academy was founded by Saintess Yaoguang of the Beast Taming Sect. The Disciples under its banner were all people who identified with Confucianism; they were knowledgeable, reasonable, and had extremely high moral standards.

An Yunxi turned back to comfort Liu Xuan. "Junior Brother, don't be afraid. He won't bully you, or else I'll have my dad beat him up!"

"Hahaha~"

Yun Xu laughed out loud. "Junior Sister, since when did the Academy Head listen to your every word?"

"If you were to file a complaint, who knows who would end up getting beaten!"
