“Eh, so this is the high-ranking member of the Eternity Sect that you guys captured.”

A voice suddenly emerged from behind Lu Yang, startling him. He turned around and saw junior Sister Shangguan Yu.

“Why would he give up a successful barbecue shop and instead choose to join a demonic sect?” Shangguan Yu, shaking her head and savoring her skewer, seemed to pity these individuals.

“Anyway, you guys from the Seek Dao Sect did a great job capturing someone so significant. It has been years since you caught someone this influential. I hope you can extract some useful information from him.”

Shangguan Yu patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, laughing: “I think you’re a natural fit for the Seek Dao Sect. Keep up the good work, I believe in you. Perhaps you might even surpass Daoist Buyu!”

Yun Zhi interjected: “Of course he can surpass Master.”

Shangguan Yu scratched her head. Actually, she had been implying that Lu Yang’s creativity could surpass Daoist Buyu. Had Xiao Yun misunderstood something?

Well, never mind. Too tiring to explain.

Just as Lu Yang was about to say something, Shangguan Yu disappeared into thin air as if utilizing some sort of method.

…

Up in the stands, the Grand Elder was maintaining order: “Everyone, stay calm. It’s just a few Unification Stage demonic sect disciples armed with Immortal Treasures trying to ambush us. It’s not a big deal.”

The Grand Elder wore an expression that said, “This happens all the time in our Seek Dao Sect”, “You guys from the Five Elements Sect haven’t experienced this yet, huh?” “These people can’t even cause a ripple here.”

Qiu Jin’an was sure that this guy was flaunting it in front of him.

A Unification Stage demonic disciple launching a surprise attack with Immortal Treasures would cause the Five Elements Sect to go on full alert. Meanwhile, the Seek Dao Sect still had the mood to flirt around.

These guys really do have prominent guts.

“From the Eternity Sect?” Qiu Jin’an recalled that Yun Zhi knew about some secrets of the Eternity Sect, so she must hold special clues.

A Unification Stage member would undoubtedly hold a high position in the Eternity Sect. The Seek Dao Sect has landed a big fish this time.

Qiu Jin’an looked on with envy. If they dig a little deeper into this big fish, they would undoubtedly discover many valuable things.

Why do they always encounter such good luck?

“Indeed.” The Grand Elder replied in a sophisticated tone.

Qiu Jin’an suppressed his urge to strike the Grand Elder and bargained: “The Five Great Immortal Sects share a common enemy. If you guys manage to extract some information, don’t forget to share it with us.”

The Grand Elder nonchalantly replied: “Sure, as long as you admit that the Five Elements Sect is inferior to the Seek Dao Sect and become our little brother, we’ll share any information with you.”

“Feng Zhengxian, don’t go too far! Among the nine disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, only Daoist Buyu is the one I can’t defeat!”

Qiu Jin’an slammed the table, stretching and causing his bones to creak.

The Grand Elder gave a cold laugh, snapped his fingers, and the Elders from two to eight appeared behind him lined up like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Qiu Jin’an felt an oppressive aura suffocating him. The Sixth Elder was here.

The Grand Elder let out a smug smile, but before he could say anything, he found himself unable to speak.

With no other choice, he sent a message to the Sixth Elder: “Sixth Junior Sister, when will you be able to control your Immortal body?”

Sixth Elder rolled her eyes: “Be content. Among the recorded Pure Immortal Bodies in history, mine has the best control. The previous Pure Immortal Body, Qi Qianqian, repelled spiritual energy around her after she reached the Unification Stage, making her give up cultivation.

Apparently, an Immortal body has its drawbacks.

With the Sixth Elder’s intervention, the Grand Elder no longer felt like ridiculing Qiu Jin’an.

The Sixth Elder tactfully left, considering the closing ceremony hadn’t finished yet. As long as she stayed, the Grand Elder and Qiu Jin’an wouldn’t even be able to read the closing speech.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect had lost horribly to the Seek Dao Sect, with few victories.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect weren’t just sheltered people; they had suffered many hardships and had a plethora of experience and insight in battle. But, the unusual tactics of the Seek Dao Sect still caught them by surprise, rendering their previous experiences useless.

The matches that the Seek Dao Sect lost were due to the sect’s disciples occasionally displaying abnormal behavior.

For instance, in one Golden Core Stage match, a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect started fiercely, contradicting his usual persona. Just as the disciple from the Five Elements Sect was about to lose, the Seek Dao Sect’s disciple suddenly collapsed from exhaustion.

With his dying breath, he said to the referee: “It was a do-or-die battle… I ingested a poison pill before the match… it will take effect in five minutes… and I will only take the antidote after I leave the stage… If I can’t defeat my opponent in five minutes… I will undoubtedly die… I… I can’t hold on… I really want to win one match…”

The referee watched as the man was nearing his end; he didn’t have the antidote on him, so he quickly took out two of the same poison pills to prolong his life for ten more minutes. He then found the antidote from outside the ring and saved his life.

After the two of them read the closing speech in a halfhearted manner, they said their reluctant goodbyes. It was clear from their interaction that the relationship between the Five Great Immortal Sects was deep – completely unlike the rumors that the Seek Dao Sect was alienating the other four Immortal Sects.

“Ha-ha, Sect Leader Qiu, you should visit our Seek Dao Sect more often.”

“Definitely, definitely. If there’s a chance, I’ll certainly come to the Seek Dao Sect again to broaden my horizons.”

At the same time, they both secretly cursed: “Finally, I don’t have to see this old guy anymore.”

The Second Elder was genuinely concerned about Shangguan Yu: “If you’re ever bullied in the Five Elements Sect, come and find me. I’ve watched Qiu Jin’an grow up since he was little. He may look honest, but he’s actually quite cunning. Don’t let him deceive you!”

Shangguan Yu laughed and said that Qiu Jin’an dared not deceive her.

The Second Elder felt heartache, saying that it was precisely because she was too innocent that Qiu Jin’an deceived her.

Qiu Jin’an stood between them, his face so dark that it looked like it could drip water: “Ba the Second, I’ve told you before, stay away from her!”

The Second Elder was nonchalant: “Don’t try to scare me. Everyone knows that Shangguan Yu is your half-sister with the same father. I’ve made inquiries. Your father only has one son; you don’t have any sisters.”

“We’ve known each other since childhood, who doesn’t know whom? You don’t even have a fiance, and Shangguan Yu is not related to you in any way. What right do you have to stop me?”

Qiu Jin’an was furious: “She’s my mother!”

The Second Elder responded defensively: “Even if she’s your mother…what? What did you say?”

Instinctually, the Second Elder began to fight back, but halfway through, he noticed something was amiss.

How did they go from discussing girlfriends to talking about mothers?

The Grand Elder, along with the others, quietly took a few steps back. Probably because they had been beaten so many times when they were younger, they felt a natural fear and a desire to avoid the older generation.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect reacted even more strongly. One of the Five Elements Sect’s five big mysteries had finally been solved.

“No wonder people in the Cultivation World say you can’t judge age by appearance. It seems to be true!”

“I remember someone once came to propose marriage, but the Sect Leader kicked them out with a stern face. At the time, I thought he was just being overprotective of his sister. I never realized the truth was like this.”

Qiu Jin’an turned his head towards Shangguan Yu, who was watching the spectacle, despair and helplessness permeating his tone: “Mom, you too. You can’t just hide your identity on purpose just to look younger, do you know how many misunderstandings it’s caused?”

Shangguan Yu felt her son was unfilial: “How am I trying to look younger? Am I not just eighteen years old? Besides, what’s wrong with pretending to be your sister? Your father even agreed!”

“My dad’s tomb is taller than me! Did he appear in your dreams?”
