414: Chapter 414 Ji Taichang's Shocking Background

Mentioning Young Master Shen Anlin caused Luo Yulian's expression to stiffen, looking somewhat unsightly.

She took a deep breath and explained, "The Shen Family was once a hegemon in Tianlan Province, but hundreds of thousands of years ago, they encountered a massive upheaval. Their Family fortunes declined, and they were nearly wiped out."

"When the ancestors of the Shen Family were fleeing, they passed through Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, and my ancestors of the Luo Family provided them with aid."

"It wasn't until a few decades ago that the Shen Family reappeared."

"I don't know much about the Shen Family, only that they produced a peerless Prodigy with the potential of an Immortal Emperor. He is the Shen Family's Young Lord, Young Master Shen Anlin!"

"I heard he became the disciple of some big shot in Tianlan Province. In the decades since he debuted, he has swept across all sides, defeating Prodigies everywhere without a single loss, attracting a large number of followers. Sword Thirteen is one of them."

"After the Luo Family learned of this news, they approached the Shen Family and proposed a marriage alliance with Young Master Shen Anlin."

"Because my ancestors had aided theirs, the Shen Family agreed to the request, but they stated bluntly that the women of the Luo Family were not qualified to be Young Master Shen Anlin's primary wife, only concubines..."

Luo Yulian's words caused both Ji Taichang and Pei Yuening to raise their eyebrows.

To be able to dominate in Tianlan Province, one must have at least several Immortal Lords in the clan, and perhaps even an Immortal Venerable sitting at the helm!

The Shen Family was wealthy in the past, after all, and now that they have made a comeback, their foundation and strength cannot be underestimated.

What is most daunting is that mysterious big shot behind Young Master Shen Anlin.

With a look of guilt and unease on her face, Luo Yulian hesitated for a moment before whispering, "The Shen Family and the mysterious big shot behind Young Master Shen Anlin are both difficult to deal with. I am already endlessly grateful that Senior Brother and Pei Yuening were able to protect me today."

"If I continue to stay at the Benlei Sect, the Shen Family will definitely come knocking, and I fear it will truly bring disaster upon the Sect!"

"So... while the Shen Family hasn't reacted yet, I must leave the Benlei Sect and hide in a place where no one can find me. That way, Young Master Shen Anlin shouldn't keep targeting the Benlei Sect."

"Senior Brother, you have also been targeted by Young Master Shen Anlin; it would be best if you also hide and lay low for a while..."

Luo Yulian did not want to implicate the Benlei Sect or Ji Taichang.

Furthermore.

Pei Yuening is very strong, but the Shen Family might have experts at the Golden Immortal realm.

Especially that big shot behind Young Master Shen Anlin; they are at least an Immortal Lord, or perhaps even an Immortal Venerable!

Pei Yuening could not help but frown slightly upon hearing this, feeling significant pressure.

Ji Taichang, however, chuckled, showing no fear at all.

"It is merely a fallen Family from Tianlan Province; what is there to fear?"

Luo Yulian grew anxious upon hearing this and grabbed Ji Taichang's hand, "Senior Brother, do not be reckless! The Shen Family has spent hundreds of thousands of years recuperating in the shadows; no one knows what their current strength is..."

Ji Taichang reached out and rubbed Luo Yulian's soft cheeks, smiling confidently, "You don't think that just because I have such peerless talent, I have no backing at all, do you?"

"I'm done pretending, I'll lay my cards on the table. Actually, I have a big shot backing me too!"

"Ah?"

Luo Yulian and Pei Yuening blinked simultaneously, looking straight at Ji Taichang.

Luo Yulian was both surprised and delighted, "Senior Brother, who is your backing?"

Ji Taichang said slowly, "Changfeng Prefecture, the Taixu Immortal Sect!"

Luo Yulian blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Pei Yuening's pupils constricted, and her heart was violently shaken!

She grabbed Ji Taichang's shoulders, her tone hurried and shocked, "Taixu Immortal Sect... Disciple, are... are you sure?!"

Pei Yuening was too shocked and excited, shaking Ji Taichang's shoulders. Her imposing bosom swayed gently along with her, with a snowy white radiance faintly visible at the edge of her fiery red inner lining, which was quite a sight to behold.

"It's the real deal. I have connections in the Taixu Immortal Sect."

Ji Taichang smiled slightly and flipped his hand, revealing the token Luo Qingxian had given him.

Pei Yuening stared intently.

She felt that this token contained an extremely supreme and terrifying Immortal Dao aura. The back was engraved with the emblem and name of the Taixu Immortal Sect, while the front was engraved with the two characters "Yunmiao," and an invisible majesty rushed towards her!

Pei Yuening did not recognize this token.

But her intuition told her that not only was it real, it was definitely a token of extremely high status within the Taixu Immortal Sect!

"Good... Good!"

"If we have the help of the Taixu Immortal Sect, the Shen Family is nothing to fear!"

"My good disciple, I never expected you to have such a connection!"

Pei Yuening was overjoyed. The more she looked at Ji Taichang, the more pleasing she found him. She even hugged Ji Taichang's arm, as if afraid he might run away.

[Ding! Pei Yuening's favorability has increased by 10 points. You may obtain 10% of the Moon Eclipse Evil Monarch's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Pei Yuening's favorability: 55 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100)]

In an instant.

Ji Taichang's arm sank into a heavy softness. That massive, overwhelming pressure, accompanied by a unique fragrance, rushed towards him, making Ji Taichang feel somewhat distracted.

Pei Yuening had a tall and voluptuous figure with a cold and elegant temperament, but at this moment, her face was full of joy and tenderness as she stared straight at him; that feeling was incredibly stimulating.

Luo Yulian blinked, looking somewhat bewildered, "Sect Revered Master, is the Taixu Immortal Sect very powerful?"

"That word is no longer enough to describe it."

Pei Yuening took a deep breath and said word by word, "Only a Sect lineage founded by an Immortal Emperor is qualified to be called an Immortal Sect!!"

Boom!!

Once these words were spoken, it was no less than a thunderbolt, causing both Luo Yulian and Ji Taichang to tremble, their expressions one of disbelief!

"Se-Senior Brother has, has an Immortal Emperor backing him??"

Luo Yulian's mouth hung open; she was completely stunned.

Ji Taichang's head was also buzzing.

"Damn, my backing is actually this strong?!"

"Revered Master Luo Qingxian has an Immortal Emperor behind her?"

"That's not right. If there really were an Immortal Emperor, how could she have been beaten so badly and forced to flee into the Lower Realm to lie dormant?"

Thoughts flashed through Ji Taichang's mind.

He had lost contact with Luo Qingxian before even reaching the Immortal Realm, so he didn't know much about the Taixu Immortal Sect.

"Not necessarily."

Pei Yuening shook her head and continued to explain, "Only a Sect lineage founded by an Immortal Emperor can be called an Immortal Sect, but an Immortal Sect does not necessarily have an Immortal Emperor."

"The founder of the Taixu Immortal Sect was indeed an Immortal Emperor who shook the world, but that was a matter of the ancient era."

"The Taixu Immortal Sect no longer has an Immortal Emperor at its helm and is no longer at its Peak, but after all, they once produced an Immortal Emperor, possess ancient and terrifying foundations, and have an Emperor Weapon guarding the region. They are the hegemons of Changfeng Prefecture!"

"Even if the Taixu Immortal Sect only has one Immortal Venerable, that is still far stronger than the vast majority of Sect lineages!"

"If we can get the Taixu Immortal Sect to step in, the threat of the Shen Family will be easily resolved!"

Luo Yulian's face lit up with joy, and her gaze towards Ji Taichang was filled with little stars, "So the Taixu Immortal Sect is this powerful! No wonder Senior Brother is so strong, able to easily defeat even Sword Thirteen. So Senior Brother is a Prodigy cultivated by the Taixu Immortal Sect!"

"Hmm... But then, why did you join the Benlei Sect?"
