Grandpa, times have changed.

You figured it out?!

Chi Jiuyu was startled, but then another message came in.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "You probably don't want Sword Master to know that you secretly made a pact with Charm Ancestor, do you?"

Chi Jiuyu felt a chill run down his spine.

Sword Sect Master: "..."

It seems there's no room for refusal.

If my master finds out, I'm afraid I'll be hung up and dried into a fish jerky.

Sword Sect Master: "So, the thing you asked me to do, Senior, is the same as what Senior Meizu did."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Tell me first what the Demon Ancestor wants you to do."

Ah this...

Was I just bluffing her?

Sword Sect Master: "Senior Meizu said that there will be an opportunity to go back to the past soon, and she wants me to take this opportunity to investigate what happened to my master, Senior Yuanjun, and you when you were young."

Whether it's a scam or not, we have to tell the truth now.

Sword Sect Master: "I wanted to refuse at the time, but after all, Senior Meizu is a True Immortal."

She was merely a lowly fisherwoman in the Nascent Soul stage, utterly powerless against the iron fist of a true immortal.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "And you yourself are quite interested, right?"

Sword Sect Master: "Just a little bit..."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Alright, whatever amount the Demon Ancestor gave you as compensation, I'll add another 30% to that."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Isn't that enough?"

Oh? !

That's so kind of you!

'We're not doing this for the reward...'

Chi Jiuyu typed these words.

But after staring at it for a few seconds, even she herself felt that her words were a little bit hypocritical.

She eventually deleted it.

Sword Sect Master: "Thank you, senior."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "You're welcome. Just remember to ask for a little more when Yuanjun comes to you."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "If I remember correctly, among the three of us, she had the worst relationship with you."

→_→

That's what I meant.

What does it mean that Senior Yuanjun had the worst relationship with her?
Sword Sect Master: "Senior, you're mistaken."

Sword Sect Master: "At most, I can only say that our relationship with Senior Yuanjun is not as close as our relationship with the two seniors."

Senior Yuanjun has also given me many good things!
How can you say it's 'bad'?

To show her seriousness, she added punctuation at the end of the sentence.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Whatever you want, just remember to ask for a generous amount later."

You can't reply to that.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Your martial uncle and I are resting. Don't send any more messages later."

Sword Sect Master: "Definitely not / serious"

Soon after, seeing that no new messages were being sent, Chi Jiuyu also lost interest in playing on her phone.

After a while, Yu Yi carried out a bowl of 'hangover soup' from the kitchen.

"Drink it quickly!"

Chi Jiuyu picked up the bowl, took a sip, smacked his lips a few times, and looked at the cyan-gold longsword floating in front of the coffee table.

"Yiyi."

"Ugh?"

"Do you think... Master might also ask me to secretly do something similar?"

"Yes!" The clear, girlish voice was full of certainty. "But the Sword Master is definitely not a secret."

"..."

Also.

Knowing Master's temperament, he would definitely call me and Xiao Yunlu over and then directly assign us the task.

"Sigh~ If Master finds out that I made this kind of agreement with Senior Spirit Ancestor and Senior Charm Ancestor..."

hiss~!

She was terrified just thinking about the consequences!
But it's also a bit exciting...

"Yiyi, aren't you curious about your martial uncle and senior's past?"

"Just curious!"

Especially the Sword Ancestor!
If we can see the past of Sword Ancestor, we should also be able to see the past of Moon Shadow, right?
“Alright!” Chi Jiuyu’s eyes were firm. “Then let’s take a good look this time!”

Like I said, we're already on this sinking ship!
Since we can't jump ship halfway through, we might as well take the opportunity to make a fortune and satisfy our curiosity!
What if we get discovered...

In any case, it's Chi Jiuyu who will suffer in the future.

If I, as Chi Jiuyu, am constantly worried about this matter, then I'm really missing out!
……

……

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

The returning high-level cultivators took over everything again.
In various parts of the Central Continent, several demonic cultivators who sensed something was wrong originally planned to massacre cities to refine their techniques, in order to test whether the high-level cultivators had truly disappeared.

But before they could put their plan into action, they were caught by law enforcement practitioners sent by various sects.

Depending on the crime, some were imprisoned, and others were sentenced to death.

Some hidden dangers were easily eliminated before they even surfaced...

Moreover, during this week...

With the official restart of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network, the Ascension Quest has once again appeared at the quest acceptance points of various sects and the Righteous Path Alliance.

In addition to the regular ascension missions, there is now a new type of ascension mission called "Blessed Land Construction".

The rewards are quite generous, but because the mission requires a large number of Ascension Messengers, if you calculate carefully, the Ascension Points you get are even less than those from a regular Ascension mission.

Even so, it still attracts countless disciples of immortal sects.

Even if you have very few Ascension Points, they are still Ascension Points!
It should be known that the conditions for accepting and completing a regular ascension mission are ridiculously harsh. Ordinary disciples of immortal sects are not qualified to accept them, let alone have the ability to complete them!
Ascension quests of the 'Blessed Land Construction' type...

The rewards are meager, but the entry requirements and task difficulty are very low; even a disciple of any immortal sect can accept the task.

With a little time, you can acquire one Ascension Point for every 900,000 Spirit Coins, and also get to experience the customs and cultures of different worlds...

It's a win no matter how you look at it! Just as the disciples of the Immortal Sect and the members of the Righteous Path Alliance were cheering for the ascension mission of 'Blessed Land Construction'.

On the outside world's spiritual network, however, many discussions about the Cang Clan suddenly appeared.

After all, they were a powerful race capable of fighting against humans, and their clan even had four ancestors comparable to true immortals.

Such a powerful group, which had never been heard of before, how could it not arouse curiosity?

As a result, many busybodies began to delve into the past of the Cang tribe.

Gradually, in addition to true history enthusiasts, a special group also got involved.

That's right!

It was a seductive cultivator from the Hehuan Sect!

Wherever there's a trending topic, that's where they'll be!
In no time, those "funny" and "unique" popular science live streams became a hit, becoming the most popular segment in the Hehuan Sect's live stream section.

Countless demon cultivators transformed themselves and began to study the past history of the Cang Clan and the Human Clan.

Moreover, due to the intense competition, they worked even harder than the genuine history enthusiasts.

at the same time!

The news of traveling to the 'past' was also sent to the most outstanding talents of the Immortal Sect.

……

……

The mountain steps leading to the Sword Master's Hall.

Halfway up the mountain.

"For a very long time, the Cang Clan was actually the overlord of the Tai Xuan Realm, until the Immortal Sect Ancestor 70,000 years ago..."

Zhang Yunlu was watching the live stream intently.

Walking beside her, Chi Jiuyu's eyes held a hint of disdain.

"Hey Xiaoyunlu, when did you start liking to watch this kind of live stream?"

On Zhang Yunlu's phone screen, there was a seductive, curvaceous beauty explaining the past.

However, the alluring woman was only wearing a thin veil, revealing a beautiful glimpse of spring.

Despite being completely covered up, she exudes a hazy allure, which, combined with her charming voice, is even more captivating.

“She is very professional. I checked her against some of the sect’s secret texts and there were very few mistakes.”

Following her uncle's advice, she participated in the Sword Sect's work of compiling historical records.

These days, as an assistant, she has been helping some senior masters and sword masters organize materials and has come into contact with many secret books.

"This is what people do, how can they not be professional?"

Chi Jiuyu muttered to himself.

The image editing industry is becoming increasingly competitive, and those who lack professional skills have long been eliminated.

"Senior sister, aren't you curious about what happened in the past?"

"emm..."

Curiosity, but only curiosity.

"Aren't you curious about where you got the 'Taiyin Fragment' in your hand?" Zhang Yunlu pressed on while the iron was hot.

"you know?"

"Yes, I found out the day before yesterday."

"how come?!"

"Don't tell you."

(((*)……

“Hearing others talk about it is nothing compared to seeing it for yourself,” Zhang Yunlu quoted Xu Xing directly.

Chi Jiuyu's expression was complicated:
"Little Cloud Dew".

"Ok?"

"You've become bad!"

I'm your senior, you would have told me directly before!
“But the process of finding the answer is itself a pleasure,” Zhang Yunlu said with a smile. “Besides, won’t we have the opportunity soon?”

"You mean going back to the 'past'?"

"Yes, isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

“Sigh~” Chi Jiuyu sighed, “You don’t understand, we don’t have time to look for the answers to this kind of questions.”

As a double agent, the pressure on her was immense.

The agreements made with Senior Meizu and Senior Lingzu alone were troublesome enough; there was no time to deal with these other matters.

emm...

But it's strange, really.

We're leaving in just a few days, so why is there still no word from Senior Yuanjun?
Before setting off, could I make one last big score and then be promoted to a triple agent?
……

……

A few minutes later, the two arrived in front of the Sword Master's Hall.

Zhang Yunlu had already turned off her phone screen and walked into the depths of the main hall with Chi Jiuyu.

Soon, they saw Bie Xuening sitting upright in the center of the dojo as usual.

"Disciple greets Master!" x2
First, I bowed as usual.

"Ah."

Bie Xuening nodded slightly, glanced at the two of them, and then spoke directly.

"I've called you here today because I have something to tell you."

Oh?
Chi Jiuyu's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked:

"Master, is it related to our journey to the 'past'?"

Both the Demon Ancestor and the Spirit Ancestor said that Master couldn't find out, but she wanted to see if Master really couldn't find out.

Everything had been calm for the past week, and she was getting a little itchy...

Wait, that's not right!
It's a bit boring!

As expected, Bie Xuening stared at her for a while after hearing this.

Just as Chi Jiuyu was becoming increasingly nervous, she seemed oblivious to anything and calmly withdrew her gaze.

"Yes."

Ok? !

Master really couldn't tell!
"This time you're going to the 'past,' while you're at it, help me find out how your martial uncle met the Spirit Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor." (End of Chapter)
