Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

It’s no secret that the Emotion Crossing Sect is backed by the power of the Ruins Country.

Black Cliff City, for instance, was firmly controlled by the Emotion Crossing Sect because of the support from the Li Family of Tide Lake.

And the royal family of the Ruins Country is precisely the Li Family.

Although the Li Family of Tide Lake is just a branch of the royal family, it is not to be underestimated.

”Hmm... The explosion of the Celestial Abyss has far-reaching impacts. Not only will the Ruins Country act, but I suspect the Ling Kingdom will also soon take action.”

Bai Susu looked solemnly at the long line of Li Family carriages outside the city, and said,

”I’ve dealt with the people of the Li Family from Tide Lake in Black Cliff City before, and they are difficult to deal with. The Li Family of Tide Lake is a Nascent Soul family, and in recent years, they have become increasingly powerful. Even the current Emperor Xu is quite apprehensive of them.”

Chen Ye also looked serious.

The difference between Nascent Soul and Golden Core is as vast as heaven and earth.

In the Cultivation Realm of the past,

a Nascent Soul True Monarch was already the most powerful top-tier cultivator.

”With such a massive Nascent Soul family entering the fray, the game in the Qi Kingdom has become completely chaotic. However, the more chaotic the situation, the murkier the waters, the more it actually benefits our next move.”

He looked down at Tuoba You, who was barely clinging to life, and pondered,

”With the collapse of the Celestial Abyss and the escape of the Divine Son, coupled with the arrival of the Li Family of Tide Lake at Chouyun Pass, the upper echelons of the Emotion Crossing Sect must be at their wits’ end, busy coping with all sorts of variables, leaving the internal defenses of their sect emptier than ever.”

Of course,

the people of the Emotion Crossing Sect still didn’t know about the escape of the Divine Son.

Only Chen Ye and his group knew that the Divine Son had already escaped the control of the Emotion Crossing Sect, which would surely plant a hidden danger within the Emotion Crossing Sect.

Bai Liuyue, understanding the subtext of the situation, became solemn, stroked his beard, and said:

”Little Friend Chen is right. The Li Family of Tide Lake’s massive mobilization is surely not for benevolent purposes. Old Man Susu and I must immediately return to Lingyin Sect to report this to the Sect Master so the front lines can prepare early. Additionally, we must report the news of Lord Luoxiao’s escape to all the Elders.”

Speaking of this matter,

the old man felt quite a headache too.

Listening to Qin Jiaming, this Divine Son doesn’t seem to be a benevolent figure.

However, being the former Lord Luoxiao and a descendant of Songyang, it is only right to welcome her back to her sect.

”Perhaps... If the Divine Son falls into our sect’s hands, we might be able to use her to consolidate the various sects in the Yan Kingdom...”

Bai Liuyue thought to himself.

If we could rally under the banner of Lord Luoxiao, the Five Sects of Yan Country might merge into one sect.

A merger of the various sects would almost constitute a Nascent Soul sect.

Unfortunately, despite the good idea,

the internal situation within Yan Country is also fraught with hidden dangers.

For example, the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, which holds a grudge against Lingyin,

or the Spirit Treasure Sect, which is subtly controlled by Huayue Mansion.

Moreover, whether the Divine Son is an ally or enemy, a protector or a curse, remains a complete mystery.

A single misstep could backfire spectacularly.

Bai Liuyue shook his head, setting aside these complex and perhaps unrealistic thoughts for the time being.

The current situation is volatile, and surviving while preserving the sect’s heritage is the top priority.

”Little Friend Chen.”

The old man looked at Chen Ye with some respect in his eyes,

”This grand game is no longer something we can fully control. I can only bring the news back to the sect and let the Elders decide. You are heading into the heart of the Emotion Crossing Sect, which is like a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair, so you must be extremely cautious. If the situation is unmanageable, do not force it; preserving yourself is the wisest course.”

”Rest assured, Senior Liuyue. I understand.” Chen Ye nodded slightly, his expression composed.

Bai Susu stepped forward, looking steadily at Chen Ye.

The words stuck in her throat. The girl took a deep breath, her tone resolute:

”I will wait for you back at the sect; everything... prioritizes your safety. If anything happens to you...”

”Hey, Miss Bai, aren’t you worried about me? Not only will I return alive, but I’ll also bring Brother Bai back safely.”

Chen Ye chuckled.

Is this girl siding with outsiders?

The implication of her words was to value his own life over the old man’s.

If the old man knew, he would probably be heartbroken.

Amidst a chaotic world, there were no excess valedictions. Meetings and separations were always hurried.

In this unusual time,

Bai Liuyue exchanged no further pleasantries and summoned a shuttle-shaped magical treasure. Both stepped onto it and transformed into a streak of light returning to Lingyin Sect.

”Phew—— That eyesore finally left.”

Some wicked little girl voiced her malicious opinion.

Her good-hearted master couldn’t bear such words, and expressionlessly flicked the little girl on the forehead.

”Ouch!” The little girl covered her forehead, pitifully raising her face, ”Master, why did you hit me? Qing Jun wasn’t wrong! She’s always clinging to you and yelling at you.”

”Nonsense! How could Sister Bai be such a person? Besides, who in the world would dare yell at Master?”

The master said, thick-skinned.

”Stare——”

The little girl expressed doubt, the hair tuft on her head swaying, she nodded perfunctorily, stretching her words,

”Oh... Master is so amazing.”

How cheeky! The little girl even learned to be sarcastic!

Nonetheless,

after the Bai family’s departure, the atmosphere between the master and disciple indeed became more relaxed.

Even Jin’er began to joke and laugh.

Chen Ye weighed Tuoba You in his hand.

This guy was severely injured in the Celestial Abyss, although Chen Ye kept him hanging on by a thread, now he looked pale as gold and unconscious.

If they were to carry him on a long journey deep into the Emotion Crossing Sect, he might not even make it halfway before this pawn keels over.

”With the chaos from the Celestial Abyss, the outside world is currently in a mess, and the Emotion Crossing Sect is in a state of high alert.”

Chen Ye glanced at his three disciples and finalized the next course of action,
