Chapter 589: A Draw

"And you, Junior Brother Meng, no, Deputy Hall Master Meng, this Mission Hall will be responsible by you two."

Dai Bufan felt that he couldn't keep up with the changes of the times and was at the age of retirement. It was time to abdicate and let the capable ones come forward.

Two years ago, when he hadn't met Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, he felt that he was young and was a dignified early Integration stage, with a bright future.

During his time in charge of the Mission Hall, he could infer the intelligence he wanted from various small and subtle things, could peel the cocoon from complex things to restore the truth, and the tasks issued could not only punish evil and promote good, but also play a role in training junior brothers and sisters. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the backbone of the Congwendao Sect.

Now he felt that he was a fart backbone, completely unable to hold back the things of these two people!

You two joined the Immortal Sect the first time you went out, and then the Immortal Sect was destroyed.

The second time you went out, you found that Junior Brother Li Haoran was the reincarnation of the former leader of the Nine Nether Sect.

The third time you went out, you fabricated the Heavenly Court Sect and reached a deep cooperation with the Nine Nether Sect.

The fourth time you went out, you participated in the Qingzhou Ceremony and encountered a Tribulation Transcendence stage Great Yu cultivator, which led to the Big Senior Sister taking action.

The fifth time you went out, you encountered three Tribulation Transcendence stage Great Yu cultivators in Hanshui City, and these three were all caught back.

By the time you went out for the sixth time, you directly resurrected the legendary Ancient Ancestor of the Phoenix clan and made a scene at the Founding Ceremony of the Demon Nation.

I clearly heard that you two were helping Senior Sister Gan Tian with archaeology. How did you dig out the Ancient Ancestor of the Phoenix clan while doing archaeology?

I can't imagine what you two can do next time you go out!

The legendary ancient Half-Immortal, you two just went out for a trip, and you actually resurrected people and triggered a battle of Half-Immortals?!

Six Tribulation Transcendence stages, two Half-Immortals fighting, Dai Bufan had never seen such a specification of battle in his life, but you two were good, not only saw it, but were also the main reason for triggering this battle!

"No, no, no, this can't be done, this can't be done!" Lu Yang waved his hands repeatedly, refusing Dai Bufan's proposal.

"Sit down, I'll talk to Master about that side, he will definitely agree!"

"No, no, my status is low, my cultivation is unbearable, I can't take on a heavy responsibility!"

Meng Jingzhou also spoke for Lu Yang on the side: "Yes, yes, he can't be the Hall Master of the Mission Hall. He is the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Court Sect, Senior Lianyi's Senior Brother, and Senior Lianyi is in our sect. If she knew, she would definitely not agree."

Dai Bufan turned his head to look at Meng Jingzhou, his eyes full of surprise and confusion, as if he were listening to a myth.

What exactly did you do in the Demon Domain?

He pressed Lu Yang's shoulders with both hands and forced him into his seat.

Senior Brother Dai was full of smiles, his attitude was kind, his tone was gentle, and he personally poured tea and water for Lu Yang.

"Come, Hall Master Lu, tell me about your experience in the Demon Domain."

The two of them added their experiences in the Demon Domain in one sentence and one sentence. Of course, they concealed the existence of the Immortal Fairy, saying that Lu Yang had good luck, happened to pass the Ancient Realm of Creation, and awakened Jiang Lianyi.

Dai Bufan painfully knocked on his forehead. The experiences of the two were too bizarre.

"In other words, the Demon Nation, in essence, already belongs to the property of the Heavenly Court Sect?"

"It's not wrong to understand it this way."

"…"

"Senior Brother Dai, if there is nothing else, we two will leave first."

Meanwhile, Brother Dai had yet to recover from the shock of the intelligence.

The two parted ways at the entrance of the Mission Hall and returned to their respective mountain peaks.

Upon returning this time, Meng Jingzhou prepared to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Returning to his own cave dwelling, he saw Old Ma at the entrance, leisurely and contentedly nibbling on grass, one bite at a time.

"Old Ma, I've returned from the Demon Domain. It's a real pity you didn't go this time; the trip to the Demon Domain was incredibly rewarding!"

Regardless of whether Old Ma wanted to listen or not, Meng Jingzhou told Old Ma about his experiences in the Demon Domain over the past six months.

After hearing it, Old Ma was filled with extreme regret, hating only that it was too timid and fearful, and had not seen the battle of the semi-immortals with its own eyes.

Had it known it had the backing of the Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor, what would it have been afraid of? It could have swept through the Demon Domain.

It couldn't go on like this; next time, next time it must follow this kid out to see the world!

"I wonder if Senior Jiang Lianyi has met the Eldest Senior Sister yet." Lu Yang was slightly worried.

Lu Yang went up the mountain and, familiar with the path, arrived at the summit. At the top, he only saw the worried Third Senior Sister, but did not see the figures of the Eldest Senior Sister or Jiang Lianyi.

The Third Senior Sister sat by the stone table, her hands crossed, her thumbs circling each other, restless and uneasy, her brows filled with worry.

"Third Senior Sister, where are the Eldest Senior Sister and Senior Jiang Lianyi?"

"Oh, it's Junior Brother. I don't know what happened just now, but as soon as Senior Jiang Lianyi saw the Eldest Senior Sister, she proposed wanting to test the Eldest Senior Sister's skills, and the Eldest Senior Sister readily agreed."

"Considering that the commotion from their fight would be too great, the two of them headed to an alternate space opened by the Eldest Senior Sister to fight, and I've been waiting here ever since."

Lu Yang gasped; Senior Jiang Lianyi, you really are thick-headed, challenging the Eldest Senior Sister right off the bat.

"Third Senior Sister, are you worried that the Eldest Senior Sister will lose?"

The Third Senior Sister sighed, signaled for Lu Yang to sit down as well, and voiced her concern: "I'm worried that Senior Jiang Lianyi will have her Dao heart shattered just after being reborn."

"In the past, the Eldest Senior Sister never held back when she fought. Just from what I know, several old seniors had their Dao hearts shattered by the Eldest Senior Sister and had to spend hundreds of years to pick them back up."

"How did they pick them back up?" Lu Yang was curious. It was the first time he had heard that a Dao heart could heal, though the cost was too high, actually requiring hundreds of years.

"They suppressed their cultivation, disguised themselves as juniors, and threw their weight around among the juniors. Commonly, they would first let people mock them, saying things like their cultivation was low, their talent was poor, they had no hope in this life, and so on, and then they would rise up to resist, release a portion of their strength, and strike back at the other party."

"They would start from the Qi Refining stage, first joining a small sect. Once their cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage and the small sect limited their development, they would join a medium sect to cultivate, then Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage... during the cultivation process, they would constantly repeat the process I just described."

"And don't say it doesn't work; this method is quite effective. Several old seniors even met their soulmates during this process, then the old ox ate the tender grass, got married, rekindled their second spring, and their mentalities were younger than before. Some even saw their strength rise to a higher level under the blessing of the power of love."

Lu Yang: "......"

So the old seniors spent hundreds of years pretending to be weak to slap faces, is that it?

While the two were talking, the space above their heads twisted, and Jiang Lianyi in her human form fell from the high sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lu Yang and the Third Senior Sister hurried forward to check the situation.

They saw that Jiang Lianyi's breath was cut off, with no signs of life, clearly dead as could be.

"Senior Jiang Lianyi, are you alright?"

Hearing Lu Yang's concern, Jiang Lianyi was resurrected once more, sitting up abruptly, still shaken.

"That was close, that was close. Who would have thought that later generations would have such a powerful junior."

"Fortunately, I committed suicide before I was defeated, ending the battle. I can count it as barely fighting her to a draw!"

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
