Longzang

Chapter 1136 Make a pendant
The female immortal is truly stunningly beautiful; even when she's angry, she's still incredibly attractive. Even with an arrogant and nasty attitude, she possesses a unique charm.

Judging by her appearance alone, she was comparable to Zhang Sheng, Consort Yuan, and Bao Yun. Moreover, she was a celestial being, radiating divine light, and possessed a demeanor and bearing completely different from that of mortal women.

However, Zhang Sheng, Bao Yun, and even Ji Liuli, Feng Tingyu, and Yuanfei each have their own unique qualities that make them stand out from the crowd, and their demeanor and bearing are no less than those of immortals.

Wei Yuan's state of mind was different now than it had been back then. He looked the female immortal up and down, finding flaws in her entirety. His gaze gradually shifted, and he began to calculate the benefits he would gain after slaying the immortal.

The female immortal's face was filled with obvious anger, which she could not hide. She shouted, "You audacious madman, how dare you be so disrespectful to a true immortal?"

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Isn't there a true immortal here who is being cursed by tens of millions of people every day? If you are envious, I can also arrange for some people to chant your honorific title every day."

The female immortal gritted her teeth in anger; even her immortal-level composure couldn't withstand such a direct attack. Her face was icy as she coldly said, "Are you determined to be an enemy of the Xu family?"

Wei Yuan calmly replied, "Senior is mistaken. I have no intention of being enemies with the Xu family. Besides, Brother Henshui and I have been friends for many years..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hideous black light flew in from below at incredible speed, and a burnt smell wafted over from afar. This black light was exceptionally ferocious, and even the female immortal was slightly shocked by its rank, her heart skipping a beat.

The dark light, wielding dozens of tentacles, flew close in the blink of an eye. Then the dark light dissipated, and one could vaguely make out a beautiful woman as red as charcoal hidden among a cluster of scorched leaves.

Xu Henshui, dressed in blue, appeared. Upon seeing the female immortal, he hurriedly bowed and addressed her as "Immortal Ancestor."

This female immortal is Xu Youyi, the immortal ancestor of the Xu family, who is known for her bad temper and difficulty in getting along with others. However, the Xu family has a special bloodline, and many of its members are geniuses in alchemy or herb cultivation, thus holding a very high position in the cultivation world. Furthermore, there is a top-grade longevity elixir that can only be refined by those with the Xu family bloodline.

When Xu Youyi saw that it was Xu Henshui, her expression softened slightly. She said, "What are you doing here? I need to instruct Wei Yuan on some matters. You go downstairs and wait for me. What exactly is this Dharma form of yours? I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with things here."

Xu Henshui opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say, "Yes."

He was about to leave when Wei Yuan grabbed his arm. Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't rush off. This matter is of great importance to you!"

Xu Henshui was taken aback. He had come at Wei Yuan's summons, only to find his immortal ancestor present. How could he not know his immortal ancestor's temper? Seeing Xu Youyi's aggressive demeanor, he knew things were going badly.

In an instant, Xu Henshui's mind raced. He was an extremely intelligent man, and two options appeared in his mind. Without much hesitation, he made his choice.

Xu Henshui straightened his posture, his aura gradually rising, no longer displaying his timid and submissive demeanor, and stood silently beside Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan then asked Xu Youyi, "Senior, what brings you here?"

Xu Youyi glanced at Xu Henshui, but Xu Henshui remained silent, pretending not to see her. Her face darkened, and she said coldly, "What, you've grown wings and don't even respect me anymore? You will return to the ancestral land immediately, reflect on your mistakes, and I will deal with you when I return!"

Wei Yuan stepped forward, blocking Xu Youyi's view, and said calmly, "Senior Brother Xu is a disciple of my Taichu Palace and currently holds an important position in Qingming. If you want to send Senior Brother home and punish him without cause, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Palace Master Yanshi and also me."

Xu Youyi's phoenix eyebrows furrowed, her gaze sharp as knives, as she stared at Wei Yuan and said, word by word, "I... need... to... ask... you?"

Wei Yuan's smile remained unchanged: "Absolutely." "Alright! Now, shall I take this unfilial descendant away?"

Wei Yuan's smile remained unchanged: "No."

Xu Youyi never expected Wei Yuan to be so blatantly disrespectful, offering no way out whatsoever. Her phoenix-like eyebrows arched sharply, her eyes flashing with menace, and she coldly said, "Junior, are you courting death?"

Wei Yuan smiled slightly, pointed to the ground, and said, "This is Qingming. The blessing it bestows upon me is probably beyond your imagination, senior. Besides, since I am not afraid of Lü Changhe, and you are not much stronger than Lü Changhe, senior, you are probably overthinking things. As for killing me, senior, you are probably overthinking it."

Xu Youyi was furious and wanted to attack several times, but Wei Yuan was no ordinary junior; he was the only candidate to become the next Palace Master of Taichu Palace. If she were to actually injure Wei Yuan, she would immediately become mortal enemies with Taichu Palace, and Yan Shi would never let it go.

Xu Youyi's expression was icy as she said, "Are you determined to be an enemy of the Xu family?"

Wei Yuan did not answer immediately, but instead summoned a map and said, "Senior, please take a look. I decimated the Lü family and wiped out their main force in just three months. If the Xu family insists on being my enemy, then my army will turn east, which is not far from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. We will then be able to meet the Xu family's army."

"Your senior's demeanor is unparalleled; the Xu family army must be quite formidable as well. Perhaps they can hold out for another two months, considering the journey is rather difficult."

Xu Youyi's face turned pale and then red. Putting everything else aside, her anger and fury at this moment made her stunningly beautiful.

Despite her anger, Xu Youyi, being a dignified immortal, could not act recklessly. She knew in her heart that the Lü family's private army was considered strong among the aristocratic families, yet its million-strong private army was utterly crushed by Wei Yuan. Naturally, the Xu family's private army was no match for Qingming.

Nowadays, the Great Tang Nine Armies are rarely mentioned anymore. Everyone knows that the strongest army in the world is Qingming.

Therefore, Wei Yuan's words were irrefutable, but they really made one want to chop him up.

Xu Youyi barely suppressed her anger and said coldly, "I came here to tell you that the Seven Clans and Thirteen Noble Families are of one blood and cannot be slighted. In addition, the Seven Clans and Thirteen Noble Families, like the Nine Kingdoms, have special significance and cannot be easily added or removed. Look at the Ji, Zhao, and Cui families. Their immortal ancestor died unexpectedly, but the various clans united to protect them, allowing the Cui family to continue to exist."

Lu Changhe did the same. He specifically asked me to convey his willingness to befriend Qingming, to exchange goods and resources, and to never be enemies again. Furthermore, the Lu family's direct line has a pair of twin sisters, exceptionally talented and beautiful, which I can give to you. This is equivalent to giving you two future Yujings!

"So, Senior, you've come here to plead for Lü Changhe?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Of course." Xu Youyi's expression was somewhat unnatural. She had threatened him several times, only to be met with resistance and unable to take action, which had already caused her to lose face. Now, she was forced to get down to business, which was extremely shameful.

Wei Yuan's smile finally became more genuine as he said, "Since you've condescended to make this request, I naturally have no reason not to comply..."

Just as Xu Youyi's expression brightened, Wei Yuan uttered two more words: "But..."

Sure enough, nothing good followed. Wei Yuan said, "...But your qualifications are still a bit lacking. How about this, senior, find another highly respected immortal to speak on your behalf, and then you can be a mere accessory. This matter might be able to be accomplished."

Xu Youyi could no longer hold back, and a beam of green light crashed down on Wei Yuan's head!
