I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 401 Meeting an old friend

Nanpu Prefecture, Wanghai City, where Xia Daoming first went to sea.

On a high city wall, an old man in blue with a childlike face and white hair, who looked like a master, sat behind a large desk, gazing at the sea and drinking alone.

Behind this old man, there were two men standing.

One was wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with stars in the sky.

A man wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with landscapes.

The old man was drinking alone while gazing at the sea. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The two men standing behind the old man had complex expressions of frustration, sorrow and regret in their eyes.

The two men standing behind the old man with a youthful face and white hair were none other than Elder Qian of the Xingyue Sect and Elder Tao of the Changhe Sect, who had once escorted their disciples into the ancient ruins.

The old man with a youthful face and white hair was none other than Chai Chuanmo, the supreme elder of the Chai family who had fought with Xia Daoming and became his enemy.

More than five years ago, Qi Yin and Huang Miao, the purple-robed elders of Xuantian Pavilion, led people out to sea to investigate the murder of Qi Wuya and others, but to no avail, so they had to return to the Great Xuan Territory.

After returning to the Great Xuan Realm, Qi Yin and others decided that as long as Zuo Dongge was still alive, he must return to Qingyuan Mountain, whether for the sake of Yuanhe Zhenren's cave or to rebuild the ancient teleportation array and reunite with the disciples of Qingyuan Sect.

Therefore, after Qi Yin and Huang Miao led their people back to the Great Xuan Domain, they ordered their people to monitor the comings and goings of the cultivators in the Great Xuan Sea at all times, so as to grasp the movements of Zuo Dongge at the first possible moment.

In addition to sending people to monitor the Great Xuanhai, Qi Yin, the ancestor of the Qi family and the purple-robed elder of the Xuantian Pavilion, personally sat in Qingyuan Mountain, waiting for Zuo Dongge to come.

In addition to Qi Yin, the five major immortal cultivation families also each sent one or two Nascent Soul cultivators to reside in Qingyuan Mountain.

They said that the Qi family had no Nascent Soul cultivators available now, and that the five families were closely connected, so they should send someone to help.

But everyone knew whether it was just to help or whether he was worried that the Qi family would find Yuanhe Zhenren's cave and keep it for themselves.

In addition to the five major immortal cultivation families, Xuantian Pavilion's purple-robed elder Huang Miao also sent two Nascent Soul disciples to garrison Qingyuan Mountain all year round.

It's also quite dramatic.

A few years ago, Qingyuan Mountain was so desolate that there was not a single Nascent Soul cultivator guarding it. But now, Qingyuan Mountain is the place with the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators guarding it in the entire Daxuan Domain, except for Xuantian Pavilion.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

But no matter whether it is the Nascent Soul cultivators of Xuantian Pavilion or the five major immortal cultivation families, they are all super powerful dragons to the two local snakes, Xingyue Sect and Changhe Sect.

As soon as they arrived, they suppressed the Xingyue Sect and the Changhe Sect, and it could even be said that they treated them as slaves and servants.

Most of the hard and dirty work of monitoring the Great Xuan Sea is done by people from the Xingyue Sect and the Changhe Sect.

There were only two sects' supreme elders, who were Nascent Soul cultivators after all, so they were given some face and were not sent around at will.

Today it is Shibachuan Mo's turn to stay in the coastal area and monitor the Great Xuan Sea.

Elder Qian and Elder Tao, two late Jindan elders who have always been high and mighty in Xingyue Sect and Changhe Sect, are on duty today, assisting Chai Chuanmo here and taking orders from him at any time.

"Decades have passed. If Hong'er were still alive, she would have reached the middle stage of the Golden Core!" Chai Chuanmo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He felt sad when he thought of his most beloved descendant, Chai Qiaohong.

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps! If the Qi family had not coveted Qingyuan Gate, but had abided by the alliance and advanced and retreated together, they would not have attacked Qingyuan Gate. If the Qi family had not attacked Qingyuan Gate, at least the three of us would have had the final say in Daliang! But now... Alas..."

Elder Qian looked at his disciples who were patrolling hard over the sea, and thought about how, with his status, he could not enjoy the benefits within the sect, but had to stand behind Chai Chuanmo like a guard. He couldn't help but feel regretful.

While the three were thinking about their own things, in the distance, high in the sky, above the white clouds, a huge golden bird spread its wings and flew high.

"Daliang Kingdom, I am finally back!"

Zuo Dongge looked at his hometown from afar and thought of his experiences over the years. He felt emotional and his nose was sore.

"Yes, we are back!" Xia Daoming thought of the destroyed gate of Qingyuan Sect. Now he didn't know where his beloved wife and many fellow sect members were, and he felt very sad.

"Hey, master, Xiao Jin saw an old acquaintance!" Xiao Jin didn't have much feeling. His pair of golden eyes looked around, and suddenly his pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of murderous aura emanated from his body.

"Oh, it's really an old acquaintance!"

Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin were connected in mind and when Xiao Jin said this, he immediately noticed the three people on the city wall of Wangjiang City in the distance.

But this time, the distance is too far.

Xia Daoming can see Chai Chuanmo, but Chai Chuanmo cannot sense or see him.

"What old acquaintance?" Zuo Dongge narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze shot out like a sword in the direction where Xia Daoming was looking, but he could only see vaguely.

"Chai Chuanmo, as well as Elder Qian from Xingyue Sect and Elder Tao from Changhe Sect." Xia Daoming replied. "Chai Chuanmo is personally in charge at the seaside, it seems he must be waiting for the master to come back." Zuo Dongge said lightly, with a terrifying sword intent fluctuation on his body.

"It turns out that Chai Chuanmo has a grudge against me. He killed me back then and made me flee in a very embarrassing way. It's a rare opportunity to meet him today, and I would like to meet him alone and give him a big surprise. Master, Chai Feng, and Yurong, please step aside for a while." Xia Daoming saw the fluctuations of sword intent on his master's body, and was a little worried that he would just draw his sword and chop that guy, so he hurriedly said.

"Uh, when did you fight with Chai Chuan Mo?" Zuo Dongge couldn't help but look surprised.

"It was several decades ago." Xia Daoming replied.

"You were able to fight with Nascent Soul cultivators decades ago? By the way, what was your cultivation level at that time?" Zuo Dongge was in a very subtle and complicated mood.

"The foundation has been built successfully, right? But I just fought with him from a distance and then ran away." Xia Daoming replied lightly.

The surroundings seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Zuo Dongge, Chai Feng and Huang Yurong all had dazed expressions.

After a while, the three of them seemed to suddenly remember that Xia Daoming's fighting ability could not be determined by his Qi Refining skills, and a trace of relief appeared on their faces.

But Zuo Dongge's mood was still somewhat complicated and subtle.

"So, you had just returned from the ancient ruins of Nirvana not long ago?" Zuo Dongge asked mysteriously.

"Yes!" Xia Daoming replied as a matter of course.

"So, when you entered the ancient ruins of Nirvana, your strength was already comparable to that of your uncle Xiao?" Zuo Dongge couldn't help but blurt out another question.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Xia Daoming replied again as a matter of course, and then asked a question in return.

Zuo Dongge looked at Xia Daoming's matter-of-fact expression, and for some reason he suddenly wanted to beat him up, but he said calmly: "No problem, you and Xiao Jin go deal with our old enemy!"

After saying that, Zuo Dongge flew off the back of the golden eagle, gritting his teeth in his heart. This traitor was so low-key that it was outrageous. He was actually much more powerful than me at that time!
"I'll take my leave!" Upon seeing this, Chai Feng and Huang Yurong hurriedly bowed slightly to Xia Daoming, then flew off the back of the golden eagle, released a flying boat, and invited Zuo Dongge to board the boat.

"Master, I'll go lead the charge." Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming turned around and bowed to Zuo Dongge, then patted Xiao Jin's eagle head and said, "Xiao Jin, why are your feathers spread out so wide and the golden light so dazzling? Are you afraid that old man Chai doesn't know that you are a level five demon? Or do you want to steal my limelight?"

Xiao Jin's whole body trembled suddenly. Not only did his feathers immediately fold up, his body became smaller, but the golden light on his body also retracted and became much dimmer.

"That's more like it! Whether you're a human or a demon, it's always better to be low-key!" Xia Daoming said with satisfaction.

Listening to the words floating in the air, Zuo Dongge looked up at the sky, completely speechless.

Chai Feng and Huang Yurong looked at each other.

I don't usually get to be alone with the master, and today I found out that he is such a low-key, almost perverted, and even a bit of a perverted person!

In the distance, on top of the city wall.

Chai Chuanmo was still drinking alone and feeling sad, when suddenly his eyes widened, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a terrifying aura and murderous spirit burst out from his body.

Elder Qian and Elder Tao were frightened when they saw this, thinking that Zuo Dongge had come, and hurriedly looked in the direction Chai Chuanmo was looking.

Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the distance was a bit far and it was difficult to see clearly, one could still make out that the person coming was riding a golden eagle and had a tall stature.

The two of them were old acquaintances of Zuo Dongge and knew very well that Zuo Dongge was short and had never raised any spiritual birds.

"Senior Chuan Mo, who is that person?" Seeing that it was not Zuo Dongge, they both regained their composure and asked curiously.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for this boy, the direct bloodline descendant that I once loved the most and had high hopes for, might not have died in this Great Xuan Sea!” Chai Chuanmo said coldly.

Although Chai Chuanmo still doesn't know that it was Xia Daoming who killed Chai Qiaohong and Pan Ming, based on his understanding of Chai Qiaohong, he could have imagined that Chai Qiaohong's stay in the Daxuan Sea must be partly due to her desire to find Xia Daoming.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qian and Elder Tao suddenly remembered that decades ago, the three major sects fully cooperated with the Chai family to track down the murderer in the Great Xuan Sea. They looked at the eagle and the man who were gradually approaching with their eyes as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Let's go capture that man and hand him over to you for disposal." Soon, Elder Qian and Elder Tao bowed and said with a flattering look on their faces.

"This boy is very vigilant, and he may be carrying an escape device like a small teleporter, which allows him to move very quickly. Don't alarm him for now, quietly encircle him from both sides to the sea surface a hundred miles away from him, block his retreat, and I will personally capture him head-on." Chai Chuanmo waved his hand and gave instructions.

"Yes, senior!" The two men bowed and then quietly left the city wall.

Seeing Elder Qian and Elder Tao detouring far away from the left and right sides and flying away quietly, Chai Chuanmo showed a playful sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then he raised his hand and a flaming cloud appeared in front of him.

Chai Chuan Mo stepped onto the flaming auspicious cloud and stood with his hands behind his back.
