Chapter 259: 259, Demon Sect Yan Li (Request for monthly tickets!)

Translator: 549690339

The back mountain of the Demon Sect’s protective array was no less powerful than the Demon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array. Even a Great Cultivator at the eighth level couldn’t forcefully break through.

Outside the restrictive array of the back mountain, a figure hovered in the air. She was garbed in a pale green long dress and stood atop a fairy cloud. She was none other than Zhao Suihan, the Supreme Elder of the Luotian Sect, and Yan Li’s rumored girlfriend.

She stood there, bowed, and pleaded, “Zhao Suihan earnestly asks the Master to allow me to see Yan Li!”

At this moment, Lu Xun happened to be flying back to the back mountain and witnessed this scene.

“Such a deeply affectionate woman, it’s truly touching. Maybe I should turn around and pretend I didn’t see anything?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Who knew if the subsequent developments would unfold like some dramatic primetime soap opera plot?

Unfortunately, Zhao Suihan was after all a Great Cultivator, and Lu Xun couldn’t keep anything he did unseen by her Divine Sense.

Upon seeing Lu Xun’s arrival, she immediately put on a motherly affectionate smile and greeted, “Junior Brother Lu Xun.”

Lu Xun rose from the paper crane, responding, “Senior Sister Suihan.”

Zhao Suihan showed him a kindly smile and then earnestly said, “Junior Brother, can you ask the Master for me, to let me see your eldest Senior Brother?”

“This…” Lu Xun was somewhat at a loss.

He wanted to tell Zhao Suihan: “Senior Sister Suihan, you mustn’t know that I, your Junior Brother, don’t have much sway with our Master. He barely even acknowledges me.”

Locking eyes with Zhao Suihan, Lu Xun saw too many emotions in her gaze – longing and pleading.

What a deeply devoted woman!

The most important thing was – to speak from heart… I freaking also want to meet my eldest Senior Brother!

Until now, Lu Xun had not seen his own eldest Senior Brother, but had heard many, many legends about him.

The founding master of the prestigious Demon Sect, the World’s First Sword Cultivator, a Natural Sword Embryo with the masterful Sword Dao, was he not curious?

Since joining the Sect, I’ve used my senior brother’s Sword Sheath for several years now, but I’ve never even seen him. Isn’t that unacceptable?

Therefore, Lu Xun said, “How about this, Senior Sister Suihan, you wait here for a while, while I go in and test the waters with the Master.”

“Good, thank you, Junior Brother.” Zhao Suihan hastily said.

Lu Xun rode his paper crane into the back mountain of the Demon Sect, then directly flew to the small study at the top of the mountain.

The Master was still sitting at the entrance, sipping tea. Day in and day out, he drank tea. Lu Xun has seen him drink it for a whole year, never seeing him ever tire of it.

“Master,” Lu Xun greeted.

With a teacup in hand, the Master, with an upward gaze of forty-five degrees without looking at Lu Xun, said: “Little Five, do you want to speak on behalf of that lass outside?”

Even as the Supreme Elder of the Luotian Sect, Zhao Suihan was merely referred to as ‘that lass’ by the Master.

Lu Xun casually said with a smile on his face, “Master, actually this disciple also wishes to meet eldest Senior Brother.”

“Blargh! Cough, cough, cough…” The Master almost choked on his tea.

He hadn’t expected Lu Xun to give him that kind of answer.

Putting down his teacup, the Master said, “Do you know why the woman didn’t show up in the past few days and chose specifically to come today?”

“This disciple doesn’t know,” Lu Xun replied.

“Because even though your eldest Senior Brother can’t leave seclusion, there will be a brief moment of consciousness every five years. The five-year period is today,” the Master replied.

He continued, “Unfortunately, he only has a short moment of consciousness, able to perform simple actions at most, but not fully of his own awareness.”

“So that’s it!” Lu Xun’s eyes immediately lit up.

If I were to visit Yan Li at this moment, wouldn’t I see a ‘vegetative’ Yan Li, but instead…

– A Yan Li that can move!

The Master chuckled lightly, “Oh well, your eldest Senior Brother is in seclusion in Hidden Mountain, take that lass outside with you. Ask Little Gui from the Hidden Mountain to guide you, he can unlock the restrictions for you.”

“Alright!” Lu Xun immediately responded. He was about to get up, but sat back down and asked, “Master, aren’t you going with us?”

His eldest Senior Brother would only be conscious for a brief moment every five years. Lu Xun believed that the Master should also want to see him.

Unexpectedly, the Master waved his hand saying, “It’s not something rare to see him once every five years, this time doesn’t matter.”

Lu Xun:

It sounded like: seeing each other every few days is no big deal.

Five years are equal to a few days for the Master?

It felt like he was not taking five years seriously at all!

Just how little do you care about the passage of time!

“Where’s the disciple?” Lu Xun asked.

The master waved his hand dismissively, as if to say ‘hurry up and leave.’

The errand boy, Little Lu, immediately took out a paper crane and sent it flying towards the mountain.

Seeing him come out, Zhao Suihan’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Sister Suihan, come with me,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

“Thank you, Brother Lu Xun, I owe you a big favor!”

Lu Xun took Zhao Suihan to the Hidden Mountain, then knocked on the wooden door of the house at the foot of the mountain. After a long wait, the mute old man leisurely opened the door.

“Elder Gui.” Lu Xun greeted with a smile.

Elder Gui looked at him, and the corners of his mouth lifted very slowly, revealing a gentle smile.

“Elder Gui, I want to see eldest brother. The master told me to find you to lead the way,” Lu Xun explained his intentions.

The mute old man nodded, leaned on his cane which was actually a sword, walked out of the wooden house, leisurely closed the door behind him, and led the way.

Yan Li’s secluded practice area was on the dark side of the Hidden Mountain.

The sunny side of the Hidden Mountain was filled with magical weapons, and the dark side was the graveyard for the Demon Sect.

It was prohibited to fly up, one must walk slowly up the steps. Anyone who dared to fly here would be being greatly disrespectful.

Even Lu Xun was no exception.

Elder Gui leading the way at a slow pace, despite Zhao Suihan’s impatience, she didn’t dare to rush him.

She had heard from Yan Li that his Sword Dao mentor was not their master, but this old servant of the master’s!

As Lu Xun walked, he looked at the surrounding tombstones, and his feelings were complex.

Those buried here were all from the Demon Sect, and he naturally felt sorrow.

It was at this moment that he realized, even though he was a transmigrator, he already had such a strong sense of belonging to the Demon Sect.

Perhaps in the future, there would be his Demon Sect disciples with whom he could name, buried and resting here.

Elder Gui, leaning on his cane, walked for a long time before arriving at a certain position halfway up the hill.

After walking a few steps to the left, he raised his cane and gently tapped the ground.

A semi-transparent ripple spread out in the air, and a faint glow enveloped the three of them, then teleported them inside.

Inside was a narrow and winding path, somewhat snug but very deep. They had to go through here to reach a more open area.

It was just like… never mind, better not to describe it.

In the center was a circular altar-like platform, connected by forty-nine chains, each chain led to the surrounding rock walls and connected together.

The rock walls were very smooth, as if they had been polished, and were covered with numerous black runes.

The runes glowed faintly and occasionally changed position.

These runes… they could move!

And in the very center of the altar, a man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged.

Yan Li of the Demon Sect!

It was the first time that Lu Xun actually saw his eldest brother, and he silently made an evaluation in his heart: “Eldest Brother’s charisma is a solid 9 out of 10.”

The corner of Yan Li’s robe was slightly bulging, revealing a small red packet.

Seeing the familiar red packet, Lu Xun couldn’t help but laugh.

“If the master is on the mountain during the New Year, he would give each disciple a red packet. It seems that even when eldest brother is in deep meditation, the master didn’t forget to give him one,” Lu Xun thought to himself, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

Staring at Yan Li, Zhao Suihan’s eyes brimmed with tears.

She quickly stepped forward, kneeling beside Yan Li, murmuring his name.

She lifted her long, fair fingers, wanting to gently touch this face she had missed day and night.

Just when Lu Xun thought the scene was moving, he watched, wide-eyed, as Yan Li’s head tilted slightly just as Zhao Suihan’s fingers were about to touch his cheek…

he had avoided her touch…
