This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 295: Chapter 208: The Headmaster is Uncle? _3

Wang Hou swaggered out of Lu Shan Sect and only after boarding the military ship did he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

“Minister Wang, are you alright?”

“It’s nothing, I just got slightly hurt.”

Wang Hou took a deep breath and waved his hand: “I thought that within the Lu Shan Sect’s blessed land, there would only be one Divine Master. I didn’t expect there to be three of them. I suffered a minor setback but will be fine after some recovery.”

He spoke like this.

However, Wang Hou’s demeanor was unprecedentedly solemn.

If a mere Lu Shan Sect had three hidden Divine Masters, then how many experts must be within the blessed lands of the sects and noble families across the entire Da Xia?

…

About all this,

Xu Yang didn’t know.

At this moment, he had already entered Xishan Wanshou Palace.

Wanshou Palace was much larger than Zongsheng Palace, with various palaces and halls connected by bluestone-paved floors, ivy climbing on the walls in every corner, all exuding a sense of historical heaviness.

Li Yuanchang and the other Jingming Sect disciples were extremely excited.

They were busy destroying every trace of “Lu Shan Sect” in the area.

Xu Yang even saw a middle-aged Daoist carrying “Bald Qiang” to chop down a tree and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you chopping down the tree?”

The Daoist replied, “Master Xu, this tree was planted by Wei Daochang. Keeping it irritates me every time I see it…”

Xu Yang: “…”

It was just a tree, so what was the point of chopping it down?

However, these Jingming Sect disciples had suffered so much over the past 20 years, so it was understandable that they needed to vent… several ordinary Lu Shan Sect disciples had even been beaten to death by their group just now.

Xu Yang was too lazy to interfere.

He went to the backyard of the Dao Palace and saw the two legendary “Ancient Cypress” trees. The cypresses were lush, tall and sturdy, their massive crowns even shading an entire Dao palace.

Xu Yang stood under the ancient cypresses for a long time.

Yun Mengxi asked curiously, “Husband, do these two trees have any special significance?”

“These two trees were personally planted by Heavenly Master Xu, the founder of our Jingming Sect,” Xu Yang recounted the legend and looked at the ground, “Of course… whether there really is a sword left by the Ancestral Master under this ancient cypress tree remains unknown.”

Yue Niang glanced at the ground beneath her feet and said, “There might be. There is an extremely formidable prohibition underneath the ground. I have a feeling… if I tried to force my way through, I would instantly be turned to ashes by the power of the prohibition. Perhaps only a powerful person like Heavenly Master Xu could set up such a terrifying prohibition.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang’s eyes flickered and he said, “If that really is the case, then I won’t have to worry about weapons and treasures in the future.”

As they were strolling around Wanshou Palace, Li Yuanchang suddenly came over.

“Master Xu, our junior and senior brothers would like to meet you.”

Being called “Master Xu” by someone more than twenty years older than himself made Xu Yang feel very awkward. He immediately said, “Li Yuanchang, you can call me Xu Yang or Master Xu, but Master Xu…sounds so awkward.”

“Master Xu, absolutely not!”

However, Li Yuanchang stubbornly insisted, “Master Xu is the disciple of Supreme Sage Qingxu and is of the ‘Jing’ generation. We are of the ‘Yuan’ generation, and there is still the ‘Fa’ generation between us! It’s only right for us to call you Master Xu!”

Xu Yang frowned, “Am I really that old? Besides, although I learned Daoism from Supreme Sage Qingxu, in terms of generation, I am his grandson. There’s no way I’m part of the ‘Jing’ generation!”

Li Yuanchang hesitated and said, “In that case, it’s not Master Xu, but Master…”

My goodness!

Xu Yang held his forehead, speechless… It’s better to call me Master than Master Xu, as Master Xu makes me feel so old!

Li Yuanchang then asked about the old man’s situation, saying excitedly, “We knew that the sect leader hadn’t abandoned us… He concealed his identity and endured humiliation in order to cultivate Master. One day, he will come back to us.”

“…?”

Xu Yang thought to himself, you wish!

The old man did want to train me, but my talent was too poor, and I couldn’t cultivate Daoism. The old man didn’t even reveal any information about Jingming Sect or Lu Shan Sect to me before he “entered” the Underworld Palace.

Following Li Yuanchang to the front of a Dao palace, Xu Yang met the several Jingming Sect disciples.

They were all of the “Yuan” generation, totaling forty-seven. Among them, Li Yuanchang had the highest cultivation, at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm. The weakest… had no cultivation!

Yes!

Right, he had no cultivation!

Xu Yang asked, and this person was named Yu Yuanqing. The day after he joined Wanshou Palace, he encountered the “Battle of Daotong”… He was considered the youngest junior among these people. Later, he wanted to practice cultivation, but the Lu Shan Sect didn’t allow anyone to transmit the Daoist Arts to others, so naturally, he couldn’t cultivate.

Xu Yang curiously asked, “Then why didn’t you join the Lu Shan Sect? Or leave Wanshou Palace?”

Yu Yuanqing was only 32 years old. He had fair skin, wore glasses, and was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure that gave off a fragile scholar vibe.

In other words, he was only 12 years old when he joined Wanshou Palace.

Moreover, he encountered a major catastrophe right after joining Wanshou Palace. Logically, he shouldn’t have any sense of belonging to Wanshou Palace.

Yu Yuanqing respectfully replied, “When I joined Wanshou Palace, I made an oath in front of the statue of Ancestral Master that I would never betray the Dao for generations to come… Besides, my master died protecting me back then. He sacrificed his life for a disciple who had only joined the sect for one day. Naturally, I can also dedicate my life for a Daoist Sect that I’ve only been a part of for one day!”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll pass on our Jingming Sect’s supreme scripture, the Divine Ascension Scripture, to you.”

“Master, no!”

Yu Yuanqing refused, “The Divine Ascension Scripture is our Jingming Sect’s supreme scripture, and only true descendants are allowed to practice it. I am just an ordinary disciple. I should start with the basic entry-level cultivation methods.”

But Xu Yang smiled and said, “You guys have been guarding the Jingming Sect for 20 years. If you still don’t qualify to cultivate the Divine Ascension Scripture, then no one in this world does!”

Li Yuanchang, Yu Yuanqing, and the other disciples knelt down and shouted loudly, “Thank you, Sect Leader Master!”

“…”

Xu Yang was stunned and asked in surprise, “Wait… how did it become Sect Leader Master again?”
