Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 535: Even More Rampant Than Hua Ye

After these words were spoken, Chen Mu raised one eyebrow slightly and nodded secretly.

Being able to make Hua Xiangdao his heir, regardless of his true intentions, at least on the surface, he appears to be very magnanimous.

Even Ye Wei felt relieved when she heard this, and her nervousness mostly dissipated.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. Daoist Hua and I hit it off right away. It's just a small matter, nothing in the slightest." Chen Mu said softly.

The woman nodded with a smile, then turned to Ye Wei and said softly, "Sister, you must be exhausted from traveling so far as a mortal. Please return to the mountain and rest for a while. I will then hold a welcoming ceremony for you and the child."

How could Ye Wei refute? She immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

After hearing this, the woman smiled with satisfaction and assigned a maid to lead Ye Wei and her son back to the mountain.

Hua Nanfeng and the others also looked unsurprised, as if they had seen this kind of scene many times...

Before Ye Wei left, she bowed to Chen Mu. Although she felt very complicated, she also knew that this was her own choice and did not dare to trouble Chen Mu anymore.

After they left, the young lady waved her hand to dismiss Hua Nanfeng and the others, took two steps towards Chen Mu, and asked with a smile, "I haven't asked for the name of the righteous man yet?"

Chen Mu pursed his lips and replied, "I am Lingyuan."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lingyuan. May I know where the Immortal Mountain is?"

The woman's tone was gentle, and her repeated questions did not make anyone feel abrupt.

Chen Mu felt puzzled. Hua Meimei had not returned to the tribe for a long time, and now he sent mortal concubines and heirs. As her partner, shouldn't she be curious about where Hua Meimei was at this moment? Why did she ask about his origins?
However, he had already prepared for these things, so he did not keep silent and said, "I am a cultivator from the Changhe River of Fushan Mountain in Beiyuan. I have the good fortune to meet fellow Daoist Hua. I am here to escort them back to the mountain at your request."

The woman nodded slightly and murmured to herself: "Beiyuan..."

Before Chen Mu noticed, she chuckled and said, "I've been on this journey thanks to your protection. Please follow me into the mountains to rest for a while. Once I've settled them down, I'll thank you in person."

Although she was curious about why Chen Mu, a mere cultivator, had the aura of a demon, she also knew that it was too rude to suddenly ask about someone else's origin, so she suppressed her confusion for the time being and turned around to lead Chen Mu into the mountains.

Until the end, the young lady of Xuanzeng Mountain did not ask Hua Meimei a single question, as if she didn't care at all.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled in his heart. No wonder Hua Meimei was so confident in having an affair outside. It turned out that his wife at home didn't take it seriously at all.

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, they had already arrived at Xuanzeng Mountain.

This mountain is lonely and long. Only the tribesmen who have reached the Golden Elixir realm can open caves in this mountain. Therefore, there is no feeling of crowding, but it is very quiet and comfortable.

Thick clouds cover it, and caves and palaces can be seen everywhere.

With the guidance of the young lady, Chen Mu chose a cave to stay temporarily.

The next arrangements will have to wait until Hua Meimei returns...

……

At the same time, far away in Beiyuan, near the Fushan River.

A five-colored beam of light approached the mountain gate at an incredible speed. It was Hua Meimei and Meng Yuewei.

The reason why they arrived just now was because it took a lot of time to break through the blockade of Xuanyuan Alliance.

Fortunately, they were safe in the end and the two successfully arrived at Beiyuan.

The last section of the journey passed quickly, and when they got closer and saw the view of the floating mountain and the hanging island, even though Hua Meimei was born in one of the nine demon tribes and was knowledgeable, she was still shocked by the wonderful sight before her.

"You know what, human cultivators just do things to look good." He muttered vaguely.

As for Meng Yuewei, she was even more shocked. To be honest, if their Meng clan was at its peak, Fushan Changhe would naturally be no match for them.

But by her generation, the Meng family had already declined. Not to mention compared with Fushan Changhe, even ordinary Nascent Soul forces were stronger than them.

"Is this where I will practice in the future?"

She muttered to herself in her heart, and her eyes gradually became firm.

There is a golden elixir monster approaching outside the mountain gate, and the Fushan River can sense it.

In a moment, a beam of light burst out of the mountain gate. Before the person arrived, a voice had already arrived: "Who are you, crazy man? Stop right there!" Hua Meimei frowned at the words, feeling a little dissatisfied. However, she felt that her job was almost done and didn't want to cause any more trouble. So she bowed and replied: "I have been entrusted to escort his disciple back to the mountain. Who are you to make the decision?"

The escaping light disappeared, revealing a handsome figure in a blue robe. If Chen Mu were present, he would find that this person was Li Cang, who had previously competed with him for the Chongtian Changhe River.

Li Cang looked him up and down, then said rather unhappily, "Who am I? I am the direct disciple of Lihuo Patriarch. Do you think I can make the decision?"

Hua Meimei narrowed her eyes, cursed inwardly a few times, and then took out Chen Mu's token.

"Humph!"

Li Cang snorted coldly, flipped his palm, and grabbed it in mid-air quite rudely.

A mere demon cultivator dares to put on a bad face in front of him. Does he really not take him seriously?

Hua Meimei was unhappy, but she still threw the token into the air and let him take it.

Li Cang received the token and did not try to be cunning. He carefully examined the token and finally, after confirming it completely, he nodded casually and asked routinely, "Which senior brother assigned you this task?"

Hua Meimei had a sullen face and said in a cold voice, "Brother Chen Mu."

"Um……"

Li Cang nodded subconsciously, and just as he was about to step aside to make way, his expression suddenly froze. After his eyes flickered a few times, he changed his tone and said, "The Fushan Changhe River has never allowed demon cultivators to enter. Please wait for a moment. I will go back and inform you, and then I will lead you in!"

After saying that, he ordered the several foundation-building cultivators who came with him to keep an eye on Hua Meimei, and then he transformed into a beam of light and escaped into the mountain gate.

"Damn it, who is this guy? How come he's even more arrogant than Master Hua?"

Hua Meimei was quite indignant and immediately pointed at those foundation-building cultivators and started asking.

The foundation-building disciple was afraid of the Jindan demon cultivator in front of him, but he didn't dare to offend Li Cang, so he could only stammer and talk nonsense, unable to make any sense.

Li Cang's escape light stopped and landed in front of a side hall.

He stepped in and what came into his sight was a lively banquet.

Seeing him come back, the people at the banquet all raised their glasses and asked with a smile, "Brother Li, who is that person outside? Can you tell me for sure?"

Li Cang snorted nonchalantly, took a few steps to sit down, picked up his wine glass and said with a curled lip: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be a demon cultivator who came to work for Chen Mu, and I found an excuse to leave him out."

"Chen Mu? But Chen Mu from the Tianxing lineage?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and started asking questions.

Li Cang sneered at this, drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and then asked disdainfully: "Why, are you afraid of him?"

When these words were spoken, everyone forced a laugh. Although they did not admit it on the surface, they were already grumbling in their hearts.

"Isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows that Chen Mu has only been practicing for fifty years, but he has already advanced from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of golden elixir. With such talent, there is no doubt that he will eventually achieve the Nascent Soul stage!
Yuanying... that's the realm of the ancestors, you can't offend anyone but him."

They sensed something was amiss and quickly advised, "Brother Li, you're on duty guarding the mountain gate today. If you delay Brother Chen's work due to a personal grudge, even the ancestor won't be able to support you if he holds you accountable later!"

"Hahaha……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words of advice were spoken, Li Cang burst into laughter.

"Why would I be afraid of him? I was defeated by him before because he relied on the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword. Now I have broken through to the late stage. If he wants to pursue me, I will be more than happy to help him!"

Seeing that he was blushing and unreasonable, everyone began to show contempt for him. Some of those who had little relationship with him quietly stood up and left the banquet to avoid getting into trouble.

As for those who were close to Li Cang, some cheered loudly, while others tried to persuade him again with earnest words...

But Li Cang is a stubborn person. The more you try to dissuade him, the more excited he becomes.

"Get lost! I finally got a chance to vent my anger, but you guys ruined my mood for nothing! Get lost!"

Li Cang waved his hand, filled the wine glass again, and began to drink happily under the gaze of everyone.
