Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 4019: Background and Identity

When the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows heard about this potential situation, their expressions all changed.

The Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows was not the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon. They were one of the peak organisations on the Taiji Heaven but a significant difference existed between them and the Black Demon Palace.

“Ye Kai, stop trying to frighten us. All of the battles and conflicts in the Taiji Heaven are just grievances between us juniors. Why would it affect the situation of the sect?” the leader from the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows said in rebuke.

Ye Kai sneered. “You’re right. In the Taiji mountain range, no matter how we juniors fight against one another, that’s just feuds between the juniors. The sects won’t get involved. However, that’s only limited to regular disciples. If anything happens to this guest of ours, I can guarantee you that even if the ancestor of your Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows steps in personally, you might not be able to resolve this problem.”

The disciples from the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows all became uneasy. Ye Kai’s words at the very end had truly frightened them.

Even their ancestor would not be able to settle this matter? Just what kind of background did this guest of the Black Demon Palace have?

It was not just the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows. Even the hundred or so disciples of the Black Demon Palace standing behind Ye Kai were in disbelief. Shortly afterwards, they all looked at Jing Mumu curiously while habouring various doubts.

“Hmph Ye Kai, I won’t forget what happened today. Let’s go.” In the end, the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows backed off. They were not bold enough to go to war with the Black Demon Palace.

In just a short moment, only Jing Mumu and the disciples of the Black Demon Palace remained in the valley. There were still many cultivators lurking above the valley, silently watching everything that unfolded there.

Ye Kai turned towards Jing Mumu and smiled resplendently. He clasped his fist and said, “Fellow, I am Ye Kai, currently a core disciple of the Black Demon Palace.”

“I am Jing Mumu. Fellow Ye Kai, I’ve caused problems for your Black Demon Palace for what happened just now.” Jing Mumu returned the gesture with matching politeness.

“Not at all, not at all. You exaggerate, fellow Jing. It’s but a mere trifle. How can that be regarded as a problem for our Black Demon Palace. Though, the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Divine Arrows should be glad that they didn’t touch you. Otherwise, their sect would be in for a world of hurt,” Ye Kai said in a hurry. Despite being the strongest core disciple and possessing some status, he still did not not to be careless around Jing Mumu who was only a peak Xuan Immortal. He spoke extremely politely.

“Senior brother Ye Kai, may I ask which organization this fellow comes from?” Behind Ye Kai, Sheng Zhiyi said rather unhappily. He felt like the background that he took great pride in was being overshadowed in front of Jing Mumu.

As if he could sense the unhappiness in Sheng Zhiyi’s voice, Ye Kai glanced at him deeply and said sternly, “Junior brother, you must be polite to fellow Jing. From what great elder Ye said, she is someone that great elder Xue personally indicated for us to watch over.”

“What? Great elder Xue?”

When they heard great elder Xue’s name, not only did Sheng Zhiyi and Sheng Zhibai’s expressions change, but the way that the other disciples looked at Jing Mumu changed in an overwhelming manner as well.

Great elder Xue was a great elder of extremely special status in the Black Demon Palace. Her status was so great that it even surpassed the two other Immortal Exalt ancestors.

After all, she was the partner of the greatest expert of the Black Demon Palace, the Black Heaven Master.

Although she was a great elder, no one actually treated her like one.

“You’ve met my master?” Jing Yao who stood beside Ye Kai suddenly spoke up. Her eyes reddened as she stared straight at Jing Mumu. She was slightly emotional.

Jing Mumu blinked and said to Jing Yao, “Are you talking about senior Xue? Senior Xue is watching outside right now. She’s with my master.”

“Is great elder Xue really watching outside the Taiji mountain range?” Ye Kai was shocked. He subconsciously glanced at the sky and immediately became rather cautious.

“Master…” Jing Yao was filled with sorrow and confusion. She looked around at the sky enveloped by the formation as if she wanted to find her master’s location, but she was unable to see beyond the formation.

Only the upper echelon of the Black Demon Palace knew about great elder Xue’s departure. Core disciples were still unaware of that. However, as great elder Xue’s disciple, Jing Yao was the only core disciple in the Black Demon Palace who knew about this.

“Master, why did you leave the Black Demon Palace so suddenly. You left silently. I couldn’t even see you go,” Jing Yao thought to herself. She was saddened. Great elder Xue’s departure did not affect her status in the Black Demon Palace. After all, the greatest expert of the Black Demon Palace, the Black Heaven Master, was still her grandmaster.

Immediately, the way that all the disciples of the Black Demon Palace treated Jing Mumu underwent a great change. They all became extremely polite and respectful. Even when Jing Mumu was weaker than them, no one dared to look down on her as a result.

Sheng Zhiyi and Sheng Zhibai seemed to become completely different people as well. They gathered around Jing Mumu enthusiastically, trying to befriend her.

It was as if before Jing Mumu who had great elder Xue backing her, the backgrounds that they took great pride in were slightly lacklustre.

They were aware that while their predecessor was one of the three ancestors of the Black Demon Palace, they came nowhere close to great elder Xue in terms of status.

Just like that, under Ye Kai’s enthusiastic invitation, Jing Mumu temporarily joined the group from the Black Demon Palace.

“Fellow Jing, are you a disciple of the Wind Guiding Pavilion?” At this moment, Ye Kai noticed the tablet hidden in Jing Mumu’s sleeve with his sharp eyes. He was surprised.

The Wind Guiding Pavilion possessed some fame on the Taiji Heaven. They had Immortal Emperors. However, an organisation with such strength could only be described as far too ordinary in the eyes of the Black Demon Palace.

“Actually, I’m not from the Taiji Heaven. Senior Xue had arranged this identity of a disciple of the Wind Guiding Pavilion for me.” Jing Mumu told the truth.

When they heard that, the surrounding disciples all looked at Jing Mumu in an even sterner way. Not everyone could get great elder Xue to personally make arrangements for them.

“Fellow Jing, we’ll watch over you personally. You better absorb the Taiji spiritual Qi quickly. Otherwise, if you take too long, its effects will drastically diminish, “Sheng Zhiyi said from the side.

Jing Mumu nodded before sitting down on the ground and beginning to absorb the Taiji spiritual Qi.

Meanwhile, all the disciples of the Black Demon Palace silently watched over her. They scanned the surroundings coldly as if they were warning all the cultivators that had gathered around the valley.

Jing Mumu absorbed the Taiji spiritual Qi with astonishing speed. In just a few minutes, she had completely absorbed the strand of Taiji spiritual Qi.

When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with undisguised joy and eagerness.

That was because the strand of Taiji spiritual Qi had made the invisible barrier that blocked her path of cultivation loosen slightly.

She was getting closer and closer to Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal!

“Fellow Jing, y-you’ve finished absorbing it so quickly?” Ye Kai widened his eyes. He was in disbelief.

The surrounding disciples of the Black Demon Palace all turned around and stared at Jing Mumu. They were shocked.

Even peak Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals could not absorb Taiji spiritual Qi so quickly.
