Chapter 99: Hidden Immortal Sect

  The next morning, Lin Fan went to the Grand Hall of Yun Qing Mountain. The gatekeeper disciple entered and then told Lin Fan to come back in an hour. This was an appointment, and the master wasn't always in the grand hall, nor did he serve just anyone.

  An hour later, Lin Fan saw Qian Yu Zhen Ren. Qian Yu Zhen Ren looked slightly tired, with a few loose strands of hair on his forehead. Qian Yu Zhen Ren never sat in the middle seat as the sect leader, either standing or sitting in a guest chair. Today, he was sitting in a guest chair and when he saw Lin Fan, he pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit."

  Lin Fan asked: "Head of the sect, shall I come back a bit later?"

  Senya Katsuragi shook his head: "I just learned the news last night, the Demon Sect is discussing internally to move the General Altar to either Dongzhou or Nan Zhou, a decision will be made in the near future."

  "Yes." Lin Feng didn't know why Qian Yu was telling him these things.

  Yesterday, Zixiaodian pointed to the soldiers and added fierce fire, ten sects together with 400 elite disciples waiting for orders, just a few days later after the alliance of Zhongmou will be held at Qingpingmen, then they will send troops to Qingzhou. There is a traitor, who secretly informed Ziyun True Man that the original mountain of Qingping Gate was destroyed and the formation is being arranged now, if delayed for one more day it would be even less favorable to Zixiaodian. Qianyu True Man said: "Lin Fan, you have been to Zixiaodian several times, tell me your opinion?"

  "The leader is not concerned about the battle between Qingping Gate and Zixiao Temple, but rather worried that Zixiao Temple will be weakened internally and externally, leading to a significant decline in its strength. As a result, the demonic sect will no longer trust Zixiao Temple, forcing it to relocate to Dongzhou or Nan Zhou. Once this happens, Xizhou will fall into chaos."

  Senba Michito nodded: "Yes."

  Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "I personally think that the Demon Sect's migration is a good thing. This western continent of bitter cold is better than the desolate wasteland. And the best one should be the Demon Mountain. The evil sects are not united, and they invaded the twelve continents just to get a place to cultivate blessings. If the Demon Sect leaves, who will occupy the Demon Mountain? After the Demon Sect goes to the Eastern Continent and Southern Continent, if the evil sect dares to enter the Central Continent, we can attack them from three sides."

  "Right, but once the Evil Emperor is reborn and regains power... what makes the Demon Sect and me worried isn't Zixiao. The accumulation of evil deeds in Zixiao Palace is hard to reverse, and Zi Yun True Person is not a capable master. What I'm worried about is the Evil Emperor." Qian Yu True Person changed the subject: "Lin Fan, you're looking for me?"

  Lin Fan said: "Seeking Golden Elixir for trial and practice."

  "That's not a test, it's a challenge." Senya Kizuki nodded and turned to write a letter: "Take it to the Hidden Immortal Sect."

  "Thanks for your hospitality."

  Qian Yu Zhen Ren said: "Lin Fan, why didn't your sect master accept you as a disciple?"

  Lin Fan replied: "The sect master is a wise person, there must be a reason for not accepting."

  Lazy?

  "Ah... probably. Lin Fan said: "Also, the sect master has asked the leader of the Palm Door to send someone to take charge of Zhengyi Mountain, he will be away for several months, and now there are too many unruly children on Zhengyi Mountain, no one is in charge, afraid that something unexpected will happen."

  "Unbelievable! Zhēn Yī Mountain's formation, apart from your Sect Master, who else is in charge? Does he really not care about bringing along a gatekeeper?"

  Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Isn't there still you as the sect leader?"

  "......" Qian Yu Zhenren looked at Lin Fan and said, "No mistake, as the sect leader, he has the authority to pass on the treasure and control all the formations of Yun Qing Mountain. But sister is the sect leader, not the nanny of Zhengyi Sect." Qian Yu Zhenren asked: "What did your sect master say?"

  "This... isn't entirely true either."

  "Qianyu Zhenren was puzzled: 'What did your sect master say?'"

  "He said... he said... he said that woman should come and take over." Lin Feng carefully said: "As for who that woman is, I'm guessing."

  Lin Fan finished speaking, and felt a thousand killing intent, only to see that Qian Yu True Person's pupils shone like the stars twinkling...

  Lin said hastily: "The sect master has already left."

  "Hmph, I suppose he ran fast." Senya Kizuki took a deep breath and calmly said, "You may go."

  "Yes!"

  ……

  Yinxian Sect is located on Yinxian Mountain, the easternmost peak of Yunqing Mountain. On Yinxian Mountain, there is Yunqing Mountain and even the first peak in Dongzhou, She Ri Peak. It is said that Hou Yi shot down the nine suns here.

  Yin Xian Sect is a forbidden place, where twelve Cloud Clear Mountain deities reside. The personalities of the twelve deities are also very different. For example, the first deity Lin Fan met at the mountain gate was a retired Tian Xing Sect cultivator, three times more powerful than Lin Fan, with an appearance of sixty years old, who was playing Go with a toad.

  The poor toad, not a spiritual beast, was sealed by magic on the chessboard and could only croak. Two guardian disciples at the mountain gate saw but did not see, seeing Lin Fan, they stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, junior brother."

  "Hello, senior brother." Lin Fan handed over the letter from Qian Yu Zhen Ren.

  That disciple finished reading and returned the letter to Lin Fan: "Brother, just walk straight into the Phantom Cloud Array. The master of the main array is the former sect master of Qingyuan Sect. Brother can pass through the array."

  Lin Fan had heard that the Phantom Cloud Array was an illusion technique, inside which there were various challenges and choices. After passing through it, one would gain the qualification to enter the Yun Qing Academy. Gu Yan and Ye Wushuang both passed through easily. Passing through the Phantom Cloud Array was not only about obtaining the qualification to enter the academy, but also a kind of affirmation for oneself.

  Lin Fan bid farewell and walked into the courtyard, passing by several large pine trees. Under the trees, two Taoist priests with a somewhat ethereal air were playing Go, while an old woman in her fifties was sitting on the side, pouring tea for them. Lin Fan passed by, bowing his head politely, but the three of them didn't notice him and continued to focus on their game.

  "Fourth sister, don't be picky. All the good ones in Purple Bamboo Forest have been eliminated and taken away. Among the twelve people of Hidden Immortal Sect, only you don't have a disciple."

  "Teach disciples, starve masters." The old woman said: "This generation of young people is really good."

  Xī Shǒu Qí Shǒu Dàn Rán Dào: "Qiān Yǔ Nà Yī Dài Bú Shì Yě Bù Cuò? Zhè Ge Shì Sān Sān Xiǎo Zi De Mén Ré Ba?"

  Translation:

  "Isn't Thousand Wings' generation not bad either? Is this the gatekeeper of the Three-Three Little Boy?"

  "Alas... The Yangtze River's rear waves push forward the front waves, one generation replaces another." Dong Shou's chess hand fell: "How about that ancient rock? Will you take it or not?"

  Xī Shǒu Qí shǒu zhòu méi: "Qiān Yǔ hé wǒ shuō guò zhè shì, zhè háizi bù cuò, dànshì tā diē shì Xuè Yǐng Jiào de jiào zhǔ. Wǒ juéde nàgè jiào Bái Mù de hái xíng, shì gè liáng cái, jiānglái bǎo bù qí yòu shì yīgè Qiān Yǔ, suǒyǐ wǒ zhǔnbei zài shōu yīgè."

  Dong Shou Qi Shou: "Qian Yu said that there are four young people with the most potential, Ye Wushuang, Gu Yan, Bai Mu... who is missing?"

  Western Chess Hand: "It's that little guy, named Lin Fan, unfortunately he has too much worldly air."

  "Haha, you really think we're immortals? We're just ordinary people." Dong Shou Qishou said: "The evil emperor has emerged, Lao Er, which generation are you from?"

  Xī Shǒu Qí Shǒu: "Xiè Huáng dù jié shī bài, wǒ dāng shí cái liù suì, tā shì wǒ de qián bèi."

  Translation:

  "Weiqi Hand: 'The Evil Emperor's Tribulation failed, I was only six years old at that time, he is my senior.'"

  The old woman said: "Lao Da means that since the evil emperor has returned, we old bones are almost done for. If there are good apprentices, take in a few more and leave some seeds for Yun Qing Shan."

  "What else did the boss say?"

  The old lady said: "Ask you what you mean, if you are willing, he will let Qian Yu send a list of young people with potential over."

  "Born as a clear cloud person, died as a clear cloud ghost." Dong Shou Qihandao: "Let's do it according to the boss's intention then."
