Chapter 94: Apology and Humiliation

Seeing Luo Yao approach with a Golden Core cultivator, everyone from the Xuanyuan Sect froze, especially the Sect Master, whose heart gave a sudden thud.

Could they be here to settle the score later?

Thinking this, the Xuanyuan Sect Master hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, "Greetings, Senior, Luo Shixiao..."

"Luo Shixiao, I have already investigated the matter regarding the past. The traitor who falsely accused you has been severely punished by me. If you need anything, just speak up. If you wish to return, we will certainly welcome you..."

Hearing the Sect Master's words, the Xuanyuan Sect's Supreme Elder and others froze, feeling somewhat confused.

But Luo Yao merely sneered. Return?

He is dreaming too beautifully.

Before Luo Yao could speak, she received a voice transmission from the Great Elder: "Luo Shixiao has come to catch up on old times."

Luo Yao accepted it, then said, "Since that time, I have no longer been a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect. My current identity is a disciple of the Taixu Sect."

When Luo Yao arrived at Ju Dan Peak, Xu Zhanglao was startled. "Why have you returned? And what are you doing here!"

Whether in conduct or in action, the Ziguang Sect Master is far superior to him.

The Supreme Elder's mind raced, yet he did not intervene, allowing others to open the mountain-protecting Array so Luo Yao could enter.

He quickly released his Divine Sense, worried that if others saw Luo Yao, the Xuanyuan Sect's wanted criminal, his disciple would be unable to explain it away later.

Now, having driven away such a talented disciple, he is truly a sinner of the ages.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Elder became very angry.

However, Elder Wei refused. After learning of Luo Yao's experiences, she actually held no good feelings for the Xuanyuan Sect.

"Useless!"

More importantly, she now represents not only herself, but also the Taixu Sect.

If Liu Wei were not the Xuanyuan Sect Master, the Supreme Elder would have long since ruined him.

After all, although he did not know how Luo Yao broke through from Qi Refining Level Three to Qi Refining Level Eight in a few months, breaking through to Qi Refining Level Eight at the age of eight was already a very impressive talent.

Even if she only helped some Xuanyuan Sect disciples, it would be good; the Xuanyuan Sect would not have its lineage cut off.

And the result was...

But Liu Wei seemed not to have grasped this point, feeling only that the Supreme Elder had made him lose face in public, which made him extremely angry.

Seeing Liu Wei's dissatisfied look, the Supreme Elder grew even angrier and began to curse loudly, "If not for your incompetence, how would my Xuanyuan Sect be in such a state, internally chaotic and bullied by the Ziguang Sect to this extent!"

Yet, even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Supreme Elder of the Xuanyuan Sect had already bowed his head, and even presented a grand gift.

Setting aside her talent, just based on her relationship with Luo Yao, this alone was worth cultivating.

He is the Xuanyuan Sect Master; how can he act as Sect Master afterwards, and how can he face everyone?

"Liu Wei, what is going on?"

Hearing these words, the Xuanyuan Sect's Supreme Elder immediately sighed, feeling somewhat regretful, but facing the crisis of the sect's destruction, if a talented disciple like Luo Yao remained within the sect, she would likely suffer an attack from the Ziguang Sect and face danger to her life.

While the Supreme Elder was puzzled, the other Elders quickly explained the relationship between Luo Yao and Fang Qingyan.

However, she knew her own strength; she could barely deal with Zhao Yang, so how could she possibly come to settle scores with the Xuanyuan Sect?

He had just emerged from seclusion when he saw Liu Wei being completely fooled by a Qi Refining Stage disciple, which made him furious.

The Xuanyuan Sect's Supreme Elder could not help but speak up to ask, and Liu Wei, who was also the Xuanyuan Sect Master, had to force himself to explain.

Liu Wei covered his face, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness; the Supreme Elder had actually slapped him in front of all the Elders and all the disciples over such a trivial matter.

The Supreme Elder ignored him, took a Dharma Treasure from his Storage Bag, and handed it to Luo Yao. "Luo Shixiao, this is the Wuji Skyfire Fan. It can fan out Heaven Fire to fight enemies. It is a top-grade Dharma Artifact. Possessing it, even against a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, you will have the power to protect yourself. Consider this my apology to you on behalf of the sect."

Just now, slapping him in front of everyone, although it seemed to make Liu Wei lose face, actually saved his life.

She has already become a disciple of the Taixu Sect; how could she possibly return? Obviously, the Xuanyuan Sect Master wants her to come back so he can establish a connection with the Golden Core cultivator.

"I returned this time to visit my Shijie."

"Supreme Elder!"

He still gave Liu Wei some face, merely expressing it as internal chaos, when in reality, the Xuanyuan Sect was not just internally chaotic; it had long been riddled with holes.

Later, after meeting Elder Wei and learning of the vastness of the Immortal Cultivation World, Luo Yao's gaze turned to higher heavens and lands, so she no longer looked favorably upon the Xuanyuan Sect.

Afterwards, he invited Elder Wei to the main hall as a guest, since Luo Yao would certainly catch up with Fang Qingyan, and the time would surely be long.

"Useless, idiot!"

Luo Yao also accepted the Ziguang Sect Master; comparing the two, no wonder the Ziguang Sect was stronger than the Xuanyuan Sect, and the Xuanyuan Sect was nearly wiped out.

"Xu Zhanglao, rest assured!"

The Supreme Elder's vision was, after all, different from Liu Wei's, so regarding Luo Yao, he naturally had the intention of befriending and caring for her.

A thought immediately arose in the Supreme Elder's mind: this Fang Qingyan must be cultivated vigorously.

In this way, even if the Golden Core cultivator sought to restore Luo Yao's face, it would not result in Liu Wei's death.

"This..."

If one says that being unable to distinguish right from wrong in the Xuanyuan Sect, merely listening to a few words from Zhao Yang, and deciding she was a traitor without anger, that would be false.

"Shijie?"

Perhaps fearing to anger Luo Yao and the Golden Core cultivator behind her, Liu Wei simply explained, avoiding the heavy points and focusing on the light ones.

Therefore, Luo Yao being able to enter the Taixu Sect can be considered good luck; after all, Luo Yao originally came from the Xuanyuan Sect, and in the future, regardless of whether the Xuanyuan Sect is destroyed or not, she might help.

This top-grade Dharma Artifact is extremely precious; even a Qi Refining Stage cultivator controlling it could release flames that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would dread, so one can imagine how precious this Dharma Artifact is.

Although the Xuanyuan Sect was at fault, after all, she had been wrongly accused; this grand gift was somewhat precious, since she had not died and had not been injured.

But upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder's face turned gloomy, and finally he could not help but slap Liu Wei across the face.

However, although she looked down on the Xuanyuan Sect, seeing the Xuanyuan Sect Master now and having the past matters mentioned would surely make her very angry.

But Luo Yao did not accept it; instead, she hesitated, after all, her current identity was different.

Yet they offered not a single apology, simply wanting to get something for nothing.

If she accepted, what if they became greedy, requesting Shibo Wei to help fight the Ziguang Sect, or asking them not to attack them?

At that moment, Elder Wei seemed to read her thoughts and sent her a voice transmission, telling her to accept it.

"Junior Niece Luo?"

Xu Zhanglao was stunned when he heard the Great Elder's words. Why was the Great Elder speaking up for Luo Yao? Shouldn't he be seizing her?

And what did the Great Elder just call Luo Yao?

Junior Niece Luo?

Normally, calling a junior "nephew/niece" meant treating them as a member of the next generation — a seniority different from ordinary disciples.

Xu Zhanglao's head was full of doubts. Had he been refining pills too long? Was he hallucinating?
