Chapter 95: The Immortal with Ulterior Motives

When the Seven Immortals of Xuanci and their many disciples arrived at the place where Guangchengzi was, they found that the place was already crowded with people. The immortal aura was rising into the sky, and there was not a single person who was not an immortal.

Nowadays, the primitive world is full of spiritual energy. Even if you find the most barren place in the most barren western land, it is not difficult to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.

Or perhaps it is a strange thing that one cannot become an immortal, and it is worth exploring.

And these immortals were surrounding the most central point like a circle. The seven immortals knew without even thinking that the most central position was naturally the body of Guangchengzi.

Relying on their profound cultivation, they kept pushing forward, and the nearby immortals also stepped aside when they saw this, obviously knowing the reputation of the Seven Immortals of Xuanci.

Occasionally, there were a few blind people who didn't want to be squeezed and wanted to stop it, but they were frightened by the momentum of these people joining forces and had to quietly retreat to the side.

After a while, the seven fairies arrived at the central area, which was also the place where they could meet Guangchengzi in person.

There are so many people outside that it is impossible to squeeze in, but here it is very empty, with only a few people standing here. There is a clear isolation zone between the two, people inside will not go out, and people outside dare not come in.

Xuanbei's eyes flashed, and he immediately took in the appearance of these people, and realized that they were all Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Standing on the west side was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a tall hat and a wide belt. Although his aura was calm, a five-colored divine light occasionally flashed in his eyes, which was extremely creepy and made people dare not look directly at him.

Xuanbei just accidentally glanced at the old man, and suddenly felt his soul being suppressed by an invisible pressure, unable to move at all.

Fortunately, the old man only paused for a moment and then looked away, which allowed him to recover and understand that the old man was none other than the Five Elements Immortal of the Five Elements Spirit Pond.

On the east side stood a beautiful woman with rosy complexion and soft and supple skin. At first glance, one could feel that she was full of infinite charm and grace, which made one feel endless envy and admiration.

Her long hair was tied up with just a silk ribbon and she was wearing a gorgeous dress with an extremely majestic divine bird embroidered on it. It looked like a phoenix, but its tail was broad, like a feather fan. It was less noble than the phoenix, but more gorgeous.

The female cultivator was holding a jade hairpin in her hand and was staring at it intently, as if there was some profound truth in it.

Although the two did not speak, Xuanbei also knew that the other party was the Peacock Fairy of the Wutong Tree. The Peacock Clan and the Phoenix Clan have a very deep connection, and the relationship between the two is like that between a dragon and a golden dragon.

But for some unknown reason, the Peacock Fairy actually traveled thousands of miles from the Immortal Volcano in the south to the ancestral land in the east to listen to the teachings. There must be some inexplicable connection between them.

Xuanbei's gaze turned again, and this time he looked at Riyuezi of Riyue Mountain, also known as Mingdeng.

Mingdeng's attire was much more ordinary. He was wearing a green Taoist robe with nothing else on it. He had a jade crown on his head and his hair was tied up. Apart from that, he had nothing else on.

But unlike the first two who were aloof or out of touch with the world, Mingdeng seemed much more approachable. At this moment, he was actually talking to a fairy behind him with a smile on his face.

He would burst into laughter from time to time, and the two of them seemed to be talking in a very harmonious manner.

Xuan Bei was very puzzled by this. After all, let alone the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Celestial Immortal, there was probably a huge gap between the Xuan Immortal and the Celestial Immortal. Even if the two of them spent every day together, there would be nothing to talk about.

After all, there is a huge difference between the two in terms of life level. Adults cannot even communicate with children, and this is true for their own kind, let alone cats and dogs?
This naturally doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

However, Xuanbei attributed it to Mingdeng's peculiar nature. After all, there would always be one or two four-leaf clovers growing among ten thousand three-leaf clovers. This was normal, so he did not pay too much attention to it. Then he shifted his attention to the area in the middle.

If the area between Taiyi Jinxian and the others still had some signs of being broken through, then the area in the middle was an absolute restricted area, and no one could get close at all.

An invisible aura enveloped the place. Although there were no magical powers or large formations outside, just that little bit of momentum was enough to shock them in place. They didn't dare to offend at all.

As if seeing their confusion, Ming Deng took the initiative to speak: "You guys seem to be the Seven Xuanci Immortals? I have heard of you for a long time, but I haven't visited you for a long time. After seeing you today, I found that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Xuan Bei did not dare to be careless, and immediately brought many brothers to pay their respects to him. After all, although they could deal with a Taiyi Golden Immortal together, this Mingdeng was not an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Don't be fooled by the smiling face, it is rumored that he has killed more than one immortal god of the same level. Facing such an existence, they naturally have to be careful.

Ming Deng waved his hands and said, "Don't bow to me. I don't care about these things. Just call me a fellow Taoist."

Xuanbei then said cautiously, "May I ask Daoist Fellow Mingdeng where Senior Guangchengzi is?"

Ming Deng pointed to the location of the mysterious aura and said, "Of course it is there. Daoist Guangchengzi was originally taking us for a stroll here, but suddenly he had a feeling in his heart and went into seclusion here. We will also stay here and wait for a few more days. Anyway, we have been waiting for several years, don't you agree?"

The last sentence was addressed to the Five Elements Immortal and the Peacock Fairy. Facing Ming Deng, the two nodded slightly to show their agreement.

Xuanbei finally felt relieved, and then he exchanged a few polite words with Mingdeng. For some reason, Mingdeng was very interested in the topic he was talking about. The two of them became more and more interested in the conversation, and they even wanted to become sworn brothers here again.

The other Xuanci Immortals also interjected from time to time, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this moment, Xuan Hong suddenly said, "You said that Guang Chengzi is too arrogant. He immediately went into seclusion to practice when he had some insights in his mind. Where does that leave us?"

Hearing this, the people who were originally talking suddenly shut their mouths and looked over in surprise.

Even the Five Elements Immortal and the Peacock Fairy in the distance raised their heads slightly and focused their attention here.

Xuanbei secretly thought that something was wrong: "This Xuanhong was very cautious in the past, why did he say such irresponsible words today!"

Thinking this in his heart, he also unconsciously blamed Xuan Hong a little. After all, no matter how many opinions you have in private, just say a few words between brothers.

But saying this in public will have no effect other than provoking and angering others.

Sure enough, after hearing Xuan Hong's words, some people immediately spread the news to the people around them. After a short while, everyone here knew that Xuan Hong was actually disrespectful to Guang Chengzi.

After all, to be honest, what's wrong with waiting for a Golden Immortal to cultivate for a few years? They don't take this little time seriously.

In the past, they would have to wait thousands of years to seek pleasure or to practice in seclusion. Now they are only waiting for a few years. What's the big deal?
What made them most angry was that Xuan Hong's words were tantamount to putting them on the fire, forcing them to go against Guang Chengzi.

If you agree with Xuan Hong, then you are standing on the opposite side of Guang Chengzi, and if you disagree, then it means that you are willing to wait here, which is not nice to say.

The atmosphere was not right when they entered the arena, so Xuanbei quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "My second brother was practicing recently and was accidentally exposed to the fire energy of the earth veins. That's why he has been irritable these days and said things without thinking. Please don't blame me, don't blame me!"

Others were also defending Xuan Hong, saying that he was just speaking in anger and didn't mean it seriously, and asked everyone not to cause trouble.

However, facing the help of these people, Xuan Hong ignored them and said indignantly: "Don't persuade me, I am just saying something fair. Even if Senior Brother Guang Chengzi wants to kill me later, I have no regrets!"

Xuanbei said with a hint of anger: "Xuanhong! What on earth do you want to do!"

Xuan Hong said angrily: "What am I doing? I just want to be fair. I admit that Senior Brother Guang Chengzi's cultivation is far superior to mine, and I am ashamed of myself.

But no matter how weak my cultivation is, it is not a reason for me to be ignored like this.

I hereby earnestly request Brother Guangchengzi to temporarily stop his retreat and meet us. Otherwise, this would be too unreasonable. You must know that the four direct disciples of the Shangqing lineage are also very friendly.

If Senior Brother Guangchengzi is so arrogant and treats me like a nobody, then we should also think carefully about whether we should join the Shangqing lineage."

wow——

When Xuan Hong said this, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, immediately causing thousands of waves.

Some immortals who wanted to join the Yuqing lineage naturally sneered and ignored it, but there were also some wavering fence-sitters who began to wonder whether they were giving the correct answer.

But Xuanbei's words could only fool fools. For example, the Five Elements Immortal and the Peacock Fairy looked at Xuan Hong as if he were a dead person.

Even the most approachable Ming Deng hummed twice without knowing what was going on, then walked aside and closed his eyes to rest.

Xuan Bei was really going crazy, he really didn't expect that Xuan Hong had taken the wrong medicine and dared to say such things here. This was not just seeking death, this was forcing Guangchengzi to kill him!

Besides, it would be fine if Xuan Hong was seeking death himself, but the names of the Seven Xuanci Immortals have been engraved in people's minds, so there is no guarantee that Guangchengzi does not think that there may be instructions from other Xuanci Immortals.

If Guangchengzi were to vent his anger on them, they would not be able to afford the offense, and even the one hundred Xuanci Seven Immortals would have to die.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, although Xuan Hong's face was still indignant, he smiled smugly in his heart. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere, immediately shutting up those who had spoken.

"It seems that I have met a righteous person, who is so righteous and speaks for the immortals. But I don't know why a Shangqing immortal wants to make decisions in the territory of my Yuqing lineage. Is he taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in Yuqing?"
