Dugu Aotian, although he never revealed his origins, Lu Changsheng could guess with his toes that this disciple was born in a powerful Demon Sect.
Curiously, the veiled fairy came from the ancient and mysterious holy land of Yaochi.
Lu Changsheng had practiced under Fairy Qingyue at Jing Long Immortal Temple for some time and had heard of many wonders of the Immortal Realm, knowing the mystical existence of Yaochi Holy Land.
Yaochi Holy Land is one of the ancient holy lands, with unfathomable depth, said to have no fewer than ten Daluo Golden Immortals.
Moreover, Yaochi Holy Land absolutely does not allow the Holy Maiden to have relations with the Demon Sects.
Noticing Lu Changsheng’s puzzled look, Dugu Aotian said helplessly, “Disciple only met this person by chance and has no affiliation with her.”
“Your affairs are not of my concern,” Lu Changsheng replied.
Lu Changsheng did not meddle much in the grudges of the disciple generation, as long as they did not cause troubles he could not solve.
However, Lu Changsheng did want to take the Yaochi Holy Maiden as his own disciple.
After arriving in the Immortal Realm, it was not easy for the system to recognize a qualified disciple.
The Yaochi Holy Maiden, upon seeing that Dugu Aotian did not reveal having seen her face nor her intention to kill him, felt secretly grateful in her surprise.
If Dugu Aotian had spoken out and by chance, Lu Changsheng were protective of his own people, or became interested in her identity, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Suddenly, the Yaochi Holy Maiden realized that Lu Changsheng was staring at her, and her heart tightened.
With Lu Changsheng present, it was already impossible for her to kill Dugu Aotian.
“Young lady, I see you have an extraordinary bearing, surely a prodigy in cultivation, and thus I plan to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?”
Lu Changsheng attempted to coax the Yaochi Holy Maiden into becoming his disciple.
Both the Yaochi Holy Maiden and Dugu Aotian widened their eyes.
The Yaochi Holy Maiden was surprised that Lu Changsheng wanted to take her as a disciple.
Dugu Aotian was surprised that Lu Changsheng actually planned to take Liu Yiyi as his little martial sister.
After all, Liu Yiyi wanted to kill him because she had seen his face. If Liu Yiyi really became his martial sister, wouldn’t he have to be constantly vigilant against being assassinated by her?
“Master, this is not appropriate,” Dugu Aotian said, quickly trying to dissuade Lu Changsheng, not knowing the details.
“What’s inappropriate about it?” Lu Changsheng asked.
Lu Changsheng realized he might have overlooked some details.
“Once this person’s face is seen, she would try to kill that person.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
After contemplating for a moment, Lu Changsheng quickly understood the reason.
Yaochi Holy Land, although rich in heritage, had enemies among the sects that were no benevolent beings.
The reason Liu Yiyi was so intent on keeping her identity secret was likely that she did not want others to know she was the Yaochi Holy Maiden.
And according to Dugu Aotian, he had seen her face, and Liu Yiyi wanted to kill him?
But the two also joined forces to deal with the Green Lion Demon, plus the background of one upright and one evil in their families, relations had become complicated.

Lu Changsheng felt somewhat of a headache, indeed it was better to let nature take its course.
“My identity is special, I cannot take you as my master,” Liu Yiyi announced.
Liu Yiyi’s parents were supreme beings of Yaochi Holy Land and would never allow their daughter to worship a mere Heavenly Immortal as master.
Yaochi Holy Land supplied vast resources for the Holy Maiden to cultivate, naturally, they would not allow her to become someone else’s disciple.
“I take my leave.”
Liu Yiyi sighed softly before leaving, glancing sideways at Dugu Aotian one last time. He was the only one aside from her parents to have seen her grown-up face. Unfortunately, Liu Yiyi could not kill him and could only hope that Dugu Aotian would not reveal it.
Brandishing her Immortal Sword, Liu Yiyi departed on her sword.
Dugu Aotian felt an involuntary twinge of guilt from Liu Yiyi’s resentful glance.
“No, why feel guilty, I merely saw her healing by chance?”
Dugu Aotian was also innocent.
Lu Changsheng and Dugu Aotian waited for three days, and Xiao Fan, Lu Qinglian, and Ning Qianqian gradually arrived at Gu Yunjian to converge.
“Almost got caught, hahaha.”
Having survived a perilous ordeal, Lu Qinglian laughed heartily, hands on hips. The Great Demons of Unparalleled City swarmed out but failed to capture her.
“Our martial sister is really in good spirits.”
Xiao Fan had been through life-threatening dangers, almost dying at the hands of a Great Demon, yet martial sister Lu Qinglian was so relaxed and composed, he wondered whether she had a good temperament or was just careless.
“We disciples are not yet a match for the horde of demons from Unparalleled City; we should go elsewhere to gain experience. Once our realm increases, we can return to Unparalleled City for revenge. The Green Ox King certainly won’t expect that given more time, I will be able to defeat it,” Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng took inventory of the treasures he had acquired; to date, his strongest treasures were still the Immortal Slaying Formation Map and Immortal Slaying Four Swords.
Inside Lu Changsheng’s Inner World were the Earth Scripture and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, the origins of which were unknown, and their grades a mystery.
Additionally, for teaching his disciples, Lu Changsheng had amassed twenty-one fragments of Holy Artifacts.
But even twenty-one fragments could not be joined into a single Holy Artifact.
Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.
Based on his experience in synthesizing Ultimate Treasures, the more fragments, the more formidable the synthesized treasure would be.
Lu Changsheng and his disciples left Gu Yunjian while the Green Ox King continued to search for their whereabouts. However, as the Green Ox King had not reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and couldn’t grasp the Time Law, he failed to track the cautious Lu Changsheng.
Outraged by his inability, the Green Ox King had no choice but to return to Unparalleled City for cultivation, continuing to oversee the cultivators of Unparalleled City digging for Yan Stones, preparing to offer millions of them as a tribute on the wedding day of King of Chaos and Fairy Qingxia more than twenty thousand years later.
King of Chaos, uncle to the Green Ox King, had a far more terrifying cultivation level and was sworn brothers with the Demon Kings from places like the Nine Holy Mountains and Jueyun Ridge, enjoying a wide network. If the Green Ox King could curry favor with the King of Chaos and receive his guidance, he had a chance to step into the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
