Chapter 161: Visit from the Five Elements Sect

~9 min read 1,740 words

The flying boat of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce shuttled through the clouds. After passing through a layer of clouds, the guests were all sunbathing on the deck, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

At this moment, a huge shadow shrouded the guests.

They looked up in surprise and discovered that an unusually massive flying boat had appeared above them.

The flying boat of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce was already considered extremely large, but in front of this flying boat, it was as tiny as an infant.

The exterior of this flying boat was decorated with colorful gemstones, which shone brilliantly; at a glance, one could tell it was no mortal item.

"Whose flying boat is this?" people whispered, having never seen such a huge flying boat before.

Someone with a sharp eye noticed: "Look at the emblem on the side of the flying boat; this is the flying boat of the Five Elements Sect!"

"The Five Elements Sect?"

People had only heard the name of the Five Elements Sect; they rarely saw the Five Elements Sect travel, let alone in such a grand and imposing manner.

"Could it be that some peerless great demon has appeared, requiring the Five Elements Sect's elders to go together and eradicate it in unison?"

In the Cultivation Realm, the reputation of the Five Elements Sect was more than a level higher than that of the Dao Seeking Sect.

"Looking at the direction, is this going to the Dao Seeking Sect?"

"Then is it going to eradicate a great demon, or to visit the Dao Seeking Sect?"

"The goal of our trip is to eradicate those monsters and demons of the Dao Seeking Sect and let them know the power of our Five Elements Sect!"

On the Five Elements Sect's flying boat, Sect Master Qiu Jinan encouraged everyone: "Last time, it was my decision-making error; I forgot that Yun Zhi was a disciple of the Daoist Priest Who Does Not Speak and was eligible to compete, so our Five Elements Sect lost a small match!"

"But this time it is not so. I have already inquired clearly: that brat, the Daoist Priest Who Does Not Speak, has gone missing, and Yun Zhi has officially become the acting Sect Master. She can be regarded as being of the same generation as me and will no longer participate in activities that only disciples can perform!"

"This is an opportunity! Without the threat of Yun Zhi, the mere Dao Seeking Sect is of no consequence!"

"Haven't we been enduring humiliation and biding our time just for today's victory, for the honor of the Five Elements Sect!"

Qiu Jinan was determined; this time, no matter what, he had to wash away the previous shame. In order to show off in front of the Dao Seeking Sect, he had even specially brought over the sect's most luxurious flying boat, just to flaunt it before the Dao Seeking Sect.

On the flying boat, one genius disciple after another listened to Qiu Jinan's speech, and the flames of struggle ignited in their eyes.

They were all geniuses carefully selected by the Five Elements Sect, each with their own strengths, having unique insights into Five Elements spells, and rarely having opponents at the same level.

From the past, they had been taught by their elders that when going down the mountain for missions, they should try not to deal with people from the Dao Seeking Sect, as people from the Dao Seeking Sect were very difficult to deal with and could not be understood by common sense.

Young people all have a rebellious heart; this time, finally having the opportunity to compete with the Dao Seeking Sect, they must shine brightly so that the Dao Seeking Sect knows what a genius is.

Among them were also disciples who had participated in the exchange last time, but that time only Yun Zhi had made a move, which did not reflect the overall strength of the Dao Seeking Sect. They knew very little about the Dao Seeking Sect and only felt that this was an opportunity to showcase themselves.

A young girl with bright eyes looked at Qiu Jinan, her gaze burning. She clenched her fists and shouted: "For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!"

The girl's words were like a stone dropped on a calm lake, rippling out in circles and eliciting a response from the Five Elements Sect disciples.

"For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!"

"For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!"

Qiu Jinan saw the girl, and his expression changed drastically: "Why are you here? You are not on the visitor list!"

The girl feigned anger: "Why can't I come? It's not easy to have a chance to come to the Dao Seeking Sect; such a fun thing and you didn't call me!"

"How can coming to the Dao Seeking Sect be described as fun? It should be dangerous!" Qiu Jinan corrected the girl's logical problem.

Some disciples were young and did not recognize the girl, so they sent a voice transmission to their senior brother: "Senior brother, who is this?"

"I only know she is called Shangguan Yu, her identity is unknown. Before I joined the Five Elements Sect, she was already by the Sect Master's side. There are rumors that she is favored by the previous Sect Master, is the illegitimate daughter of the previous Sect Master, and the Sect Master's half-sister. The Sect Master is very indulgent toward her actions."

They were almost at the Dao Seeking Sect; Qiu Jinan couldn't just send Shangguan Yu back, and in all likelihood, Shangguan Yu wouldn't listen to him anyway.

Rather than losing face in public, it was better for him to take a step back.

While speaking, the flying boat flew to the mountain gate of the Dao Seeking Sect and docked to the side.

In front of the Dao Seeking Sect's mountain gate, the acting Sect Master, the Decayed Fairy, and eight elders had already hung up a banner to welcome the visit of the Five Elements Sect.

Qiu Jinan led everyone off the boat, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint, almost imperceptible smile as he observed the movements of the Dao Seeking Sect.

These people from the Dao Seeking Sect must have never seen such a luxurious flying boat.

The Great Elder walked up and reached out to Qiu Jinan. Just as Qiu Jinan was about to shake hands, he heard the Great Elder say: "Docking fee."

The Great Elder was not here to shake hands, but to collect fees.

Generally, when the five great immortal sects visit each other, the leaders would use their own magic power to construct smoke, clouds, and other things, which would dissipate upon reaching the destination, which was very convenient. Rarely was there anyone like Qiu Jinan who came driving a flying boat.

Such a large flying boat parked in front of the Dao Seeking Sect's mountain gate definitely required payment; this was not a free parking lot or boat dock.

Qiu Jinan said in a deep voice: "I am here representing the Five Elements Sect for a visit."

The Great Elder thought for a moment and felt that what Qiu Jinan said made sense: "Then I'll give you a 20% discount."

Qiu Jinan took a deep breath, thinking that he was a magnanimous person and would not haggle with these lunatics from the Dao Seeking Sect.

The flying boat Qiu Jinan piloted was too large, so the docking fee was dozens of times that of an ordinary flying boat. Qiu Jinan's heart was bleeding.

But thinking that he would soon be able to show off in the Dao Seeking Sect, he didn't care about these small details.

Immediately after, Qiu Jinan saw the people from the Dao Seeking Sect, as well as the banner hanging overhead.

The standard for welcoming the Five Elements Sect could not be considered low; the banner was written by an immortal personally, and a second one could not be found in the whole world.

Although Huang Dou Dou looked unreliable, she wrote a good hand; the characters on the banner were like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, very imposing.

The characters on the banner were very simple, just "Welcome Five Elements Sect," but these were not the characters of the present day.

Qiu Jinan squinted and recognized that these were ancient characters. Was the Dao Seeking Sect showing off its cultural heritage?

Ridiculous, did they not know that he had been obsessed with the ancient era for a period of time and had very deep research into the culture of the ancient era?

Qiu Jinan smiled and said a lot of obscure and difficult-to-understand words; this was the language of the ancient era, which only a few people understood.

If it could be said that the characters of the ancient era still had traces to follow, then the pronunciation of the ancient era was very difficult to understand, or rather, no one could understand it. After all, characters could be passed down, but the pronunciation of characters could not.

This was the lingering sound he had accidentally obtained from a ruin. According to the arrangement of the surrounding items and the characters passed down, it should be a place of sacrifice to ancient immortals, and the immortals enjoyed the process of sacrifice.

The lingering sound was grand and ancient; thinking about it, it should be the immortal's praise for the priests and others after enjoying the sacrifice. Qiu Jinan felt it was very suitable for the current occasion.

This also explained why the sound could be passed down, because it was the voice of an immortal.

Lu Yang quietly asked the Decayed Fairy what Sect Master Qiu was saying.

The Decayed Fairy looked blank: "His accent is so heavy, I can't hear clearly. It seems to be saying, 'Great immortal, please accept the most humble tribute from your servants.'"

"Could it be that he has recognized my identity?"

The Decayed Fairy was a little happy; finally, someone knew her identity as an immortal, and the attitude was very humble, much better than Yun Zhi and Lu Yang.

She would appoint him as the Deputy Sect Master of the Decayed Sect.

Qiu Jinan noticed the puzzled expressions of the crowd and nodded with satisfaction. You can't understand what I'm saying, right?
