Chapter 87: Harboring a Good Man

Cheng Xi answered with a straight face, "Of course."

A master from a past life is still a master.

Li Zhi'an was discussing matters regarding the Wanxing Sect with Jiang Boyu and the others; Cheng Xi was listening half-heartedly from the side when, in the blink of an eye, she discovered that Baohua was actually sitting on Qin Yu's shoulder, listening with a straight face as well.

That was just absurd.

Whether it be the Wanxing Sect or the Yunshan Immortal Gathering, could it really be more terrifying than her own transmigration?

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but lose focus; she was a bit curious about what the higher-level Spirit Realm on the other side of the Wanxing Sect would look like—it certainly had to be different from her own world.

The fragrance of the unique Spirit Plants of Qingtian Peak diffused into the air; she loved this vibrant aura, which turned her withered meridians into streams like small brooks, allowing her to draw Talismans and perform Artifact Refining without worrying that this physical shell of hers would explode at any moment.

While she was distracted, Jiang Boyu suddenly mentioned her, and her thoughts were pulled back as she heard him say: "Regarding the Tai Xu Golden Pupil Silver Brilliance Art mentioned by the Eldest Miss, Ye Wujin is very formidable when wielding this technique, and even the Division Master has fallen for it. If we encounter him again, is there any way to restrain him?"

"If there is no way to restrain him, I fear we will suffer heavy losses in the next engagement. If the Wanxing Sect falls into the hands of the Demon, Jindu will not be secure, and I fear the Mortal Realm will also face a catastrophe," Ji Muzhi said, filled with worry.

Everyone looked at Li Zhi'an; in their hearts, the Division Master was omnipotent and must have a way.

Just as Li Zhi'an was about to speak, Cheng Xi, who was beside him, suddenly said: "The golden pupils can peer through the Nine Netherworlds, the silver hair can pull the stars, and the Taixu Dragon Pattern faintly appearing between the brows is a manifestation of Law Manifestation."

Several people were stunned. It's that powerful?

Then why even fight?

Might as well surrender directly.

"However, Ye Wujin has only cultivated up to the Star Sand Mirror, and he loses all his power on the first day of the lunar month. Cultivating this technique requires Millennium Ice Soul to suppress the inner fire. If he succeeds in his cultivation one day and uses his ultimate move against you, he will permanently shorten his own lifespan. When things reach their peak, there must be constraints; just seize his weaknesses and beat him hard."

Everyone:...

Li Zhi'an chuckled and added another sentence, "When the Ancient Taixu Dragon fell, its left eye transformed into the Heavenly Pivot Golden Pupil, and its dragon whiskers condensed into the Yaoguang silver hair. Xuanweizi, an ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Clan, cultivated bitterly at the bottom of Star Meteor Lake for three hundred years and created this art after comprehending one hundred and eight Taixu Dragon Patterns from the dragon's skull, becoming the leader of the Demon Race from then on.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Xuanweizi was killed when he lost all his power on the first day of the lunar month. The Nine-Tailed Clan has risen and fallen within the Demon Race for many years, and Ye Wujin being banished to the Mortal Realm is also the result of internal strife among the Demon Race."

Cheng Xi looked sideways at Li Zhi'an and blinked; he actually knew this too.

But, thinking of his mother's background, she didn't find it strange anymore.

The Heaven Witch Clan knows everything.

Jiang Boyu's intention was to search the Wanxing Mountain, but it was vetoed by Li Zhi'an. The Wanxing Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and without a specific Dharma Artifact, it is very difficult to drive out the Demon in the mountains.

Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Clan is extremely cunning, and tracking their movements is not easy.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi suddenly asked: "Is the Four-Eyed Demon Fox still at the Tongtian Division?"

Li Zhi'an nodded, "You want to use the Four-Eyed Demon Fox to lure out Ye Wujin? I fear it is useless. The death of their ancestor Xuanweizi was too tragic; the Nine-Tailed Clan is extremely vigilant and will not be easily fooled."

Cheng Xi said slowly: "The Heavenly Pivot Golden Pupil is transformed from the eyes of an ancient dragon, and the cultivation technique is very overbearing. Once his power wanes or he is severely injured, the golden pupils will disappear. The eyes of a Four-Eyed Demon Fox can help him reinforce the golden pupils. If he knows you have a Four-Eyed Demon Fox, he will risk coming to snatch it even if it is dangerous."

"The eyes of a Four-Eyed Demon Fox can reinforce the golden pupils—did your Master teach you this too?"

Cheng Xi:...

Can we not move past this Master business?

Ignoring Li Zhi'an, Cheng Xi stood up directly, "You all discuss it slowly, I'm going out for a walk."

Cheng Xi walked two steps and heard a faint laugh from Li Zhi'an behind her.

After leaving the courtyard, she walked through the Spirit Fields of Qingtian Peak and went to check on the Dragon Blood Fruit first. She had used a Spirit Gathering Array containing the Law of Time; when she dug it out from the Fire Flame Stone Cave, it already showed signs of bearing fruit, and now the fruits were the size of a fingernail.

She calculated it; they would be ripe in three more days.

That's good.

Feeling the Phoenix Fire in her dantian restless, she said: "I'm not going to the back mountain today, and you aren't allowed to go either."

The Phoenix Fire instantly wilted.

Sensing the Phoenix Fire's dissatisfaction, she slowly said again: "Ye Wujin is hiding who knows where, and I don't want to fight him right now. If you get caught by him, you'll only become a tattoo for the Taixu Dragon Pattern between his brows."

The Phoenix Fire immediately behaved.

Cheng Xi chuckled; seemingly hearing the mockery in her laughter, the Phoenix Fire became unhappy, turned around in her dantian, and ignored her with its back turned.

Cheng Xi looked up at the sky, wondering how many more days of such good life she could have; she just wanted to lie flat, so why was it so difficult?

"Xixi."

Hearing Yan Shengyu's voice, Cheng Xi turned her head and saw her flying over unsteadily, stepping on a tree branch. When she stopped in front of her, she almost couldn't stand still, and Cheng Xi had to steady her.

"Your flight technique practice is not bad; you can already fly after only a few days," Cheng Xi praised her very seriously.

Yan Shengyu said happily: "The senior brother in the Inner Court said I have a talent for cultivation. Among those who entered Wuji Peak with me, I am the only one who can fly."

Cheng Xi praised her again; this talent was indeed not bad, and she wasn't just saying it—though, of course, she was still a little bit behind herself.

"Why did you suddenly come?"

Hearing this, Yan Shengyu remembered the main point and lowered her voice: "Is the Regent here with you?"

With such a sneaky appearance, it made it look like she was harboring a good man.

She nodded seriously, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"My brother is here too."

Yan Yu?

Cheng Xi was a bit surprised, "What is he here for?"

"I heard the Wanxing Sect will open early."

"Your brother said that?" Cheng Xi was stunned; Li Zhi'an hadn't mentioned this.

"Yes, my brother said that countless Demon have gathered outside the Wanxing Sect, all wanting to pass through the Star Gate to the Upper Realm. Once the Star Gate opens, I fear it will be a fierce battle."

Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment.

Yan Shengyu sighed, "We are also unlucky; we just entered the academy and have only just started learning techniques, so I fear we won't be able to pass through the Star Gate. I heard the Spirit Essence in the Upper Realm is even denser than in the Wanxing Mountain Range; I really want to go and see it."

Cheng Xi looked at Yan Shengyu, "If you want to go, it's not impossible."

Yan Shengyu laughed out loud, "Right, I naturally want to go, but it's just a thought."

To pass through the Star Gate, one must at least reach Foundation Establishment; she had only just entered the threshold of Qi Refining.

"I was just chatting and forgot the main business; Yan Qingli's father is coming to Qinghe Academy soon, you had better be careful," Yan Shengyu said.

"Let him come, what is there to fear?"

"How are you not afraid at all? What if he forces you to give up the position of Regent?"

"That depends on whether he has the ability to do so," Cheng Xi said unhurriedly.

As soon as the voice fell, the bell of Yuguan Peak suddenly rang with some urgency, spreading to every hilltop of the Academy.

Once the bell rang, the figure of Li Zhi'an appeared before Cheng Xi, "Stay here and do not go out; I will go to Yuguan Peak to take a look."
