My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Underground, the paper effigy who was filled with paper effigies and immortal beans used Earth Escape and followed behind the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou’s Golden Immortal paper effigy had already appeared below the Honglin Kingdom. He frowned and looked at the situation...

The situation was more than critical.

He was almost done! Hundreds of figures were fighting in the sky. It was a one-sided siege. The originally bustling capital city was engulfed in smoke. The eastern city gate and city walls were completely destroyed. A group of armored horses attacked the last line of defense of the soldiers in the city.

It was a mortal war.

To be precise, it was a mortal war involving Qi Refinement cultivators.

Most of the generals had cultivation levels. Due to the fear of negative karma, they usually followed the principle of ‘soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, immortals against immortals’. Li Changshou spread his immortal senses and observed the surroundings. He saw a few other large battlefields.

The defense line of the Honglin Kingdom was not completely defeated. There was still a large number of soldiers guarding the territory in several directions. The army that appeared in the Honglin Kingdom’s capital should have sneaked over.

The two invading tribes were supporting each other. Hundreds of thousands of elite troops were gathered from both the northeast and southeast directions. They were almost unstoppable. Even without the surprise attack on the capital tonight, it would probably be difficult for the Honglin Kingdom to last for half a month. The so-called tribe was just a continuation of the old system of the Xia Dynasty. It did not mean that their strength was inferior to those of the Fang Nation. In the eyes of the prosperous countries in the South Continent, the Honglin Kingdom and the two tribes, as well as the many countries and tribes in the East Continent, were all in the category of ‘Dongyi’. (1. Dongyi was a collective term for ancient peoples found in Chinese records.] To be safe, Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and quickly discovered something These two tribes should have the support of a Great Immortal Sect. The number of Essence Immortals and Perfected Immortals mixed in the army was extremely shocking. Moreover, their cultivation techniques were quite similar. The battle this time could actually be understood as the Immortal Du Sect fighting for the resources of the mortal world. The Immortal Du Sect was obviously not prepared. The loser truly eats dirt. The few Perfected Immortal executives of the Immortal Du Sect who had been captured by the other party previously were fine. Hundreds of auras were hidden on the way to the Immortal Du Sect. There were more than a hundred Perfected Immortals, thirty to forty Heaven Immortals, and two Golden Immortal realm auras. Is this immortal sect going to ambush the Immortal Du Sect?

Rather than calling it an ambush, it was more like an obstruction.

Li Changshou sensed carefully and did not discover much killing intent from the other party. Moreover, the array formation that the other party was deploying was mainly for defense. According to the situation of the chaotic battles in the South Continent, the other party would most likely only appear and force the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect to return. They would use the hostages in their hands to avoid fighting with the Immortal Du Sect. Whether the Immortal Du Sect chose to fight with the other party depended on many factors. The main thing should be the overall situation of the Honglin Kingdom when the two sides faced off... As the saying went, the goshawk would do its best. Li Changshou did not dare to be careless and immediately began to set up the array. He first secretly informed Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and gathered a group of paper effigies near the East Ocean. At the same time, he called Ao Yi and told him to prepare to contact the experts of the East Ocean Dragon Palace to help at any time!

After all, the other party had two Golden Immortals. He could not underestimate them...

Li Changshou could not guarantee anything else. If the other party insisted on ambushing the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect, there would naturally be a large number of reinforcements to help the Immortal Du Sect. That was a small contribution made by the ordinary Essence Immortal disciples of the Immortal Du Sect.

Li Changshou quickly made preparations and watched the mortal battle. His Dao heart gradually felt strange. Was he worried that the human race will exhaust their strength because of this war?

That was not the case.

The destiny of the Primordial World’s human race gathered on mortals, but their strength was gathered on Qi Refinement cultivators. Moreover, the human race itself was large enough. The war there would not affect the overall strength of the human race.

Li Changshou thought...

Is the battle between the mortal factions caused by the low external pressure, or was the Heavenly Dao influencing them behind the scenes, deliberately slowing down the expansion of the human race? Apart from Saints, Golden Immortals, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, Pseudo Immortals cannot completely escape the influence of the Heavenly Dao. To a certain extent, they are no different from these mortals... “Isn’t that too pessimistic?” Li Changshou muttered to himself and gently wiped away the abnormality in his Dao heart. He had come here only to wait for the Grand Pure One to arrive and see how he would attack.

Li Changshou had no intention to interfere in mortal wars. There was huge negative karma... Li Changshou floated out from the depths of the ground and found an empty restaurant near the royal palace. He found a seat and quietly waited for further developments.

Could it be that the Saint had sent me here for other matters and not for the matter of the Shang Dynasty?

Come to think of it, the Grand Pure One would always order me to “go”. If my comprehension ability is substandard or if the Grand Pure One lags one day...

Ahem, I can’t talk about my Saint like that.

Should I create a scene of the Heavenly Soldiers and God’s Arrival to support Youqin?

Forget it. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are not at home. I should be more cautious and not get caught red-handed. Fairy Yun Xiao could guess that her main body was in the Immortal Du Sect. The risk of her identity being exposed was not low. She could not do anything unnecessary.

Of course, if he could help his Toxic Junior Sister with anything, Li Changshou would not be stingy. Just as he was thinking about that, a wave of immortal power fluctuated from the depths of the royal palace in the capital. A ray of sanguine light soared into the sky.

Li Changshou looked up and saw a light blue flood dragon covered in wounds in the sky above the capital of Honglin! The flood dragon roared and seemed to want to rush into the sky. However, its body quickly collapsed. Its body was empty and mixed with some black ashes... The destiny of the Honglin Kingdom had already collapsed!

“Xuanya... Xuanya?” Youqin Xuanya, who was lost in thought while facing the starlight in the sky, turned her head and whispered, “Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master.” Jiu Jiu, who was carrying a huge gourd and was dressed in a linen shirt and short skirt, jumped over from the side of the cloud. Jiu Jiu wanted to pounce on Youqin Xuanya and laugh with her. However, she thought of something and stopped in front of Youqin Xuanya. She smiled and scratched her head.

Upon hearing that something had happened in the Honglin Kingdom, Jiu Jiu took the initiative to chase after Youqin Xuanya. She wanted to give Youqin Xuanya more encouragement...

After entering the immortal sect, he left the mortal world. He should not have been too involved.

However, Youqin Xuanya’s situation was a little special. She was the princess of the Honglin Kingdom and the chief disciple of the first batch of disciples in the Immortal Du Sect. The Honglin Kingdom was also the “sugar daddy” of the Immortal Du Sect... As a result, Youqin Xuanya’s current situation was very delicate. It was so subtle that Jiu Jiu did not know how to persuade her. She could only invite her senior sister over to help comfort Youqin Xuanya. Jiu Yiyi, who was dressed in a purple dress, was holding her sword and walking over from the side.

Jiu Yiyi smiled gently and said to Youqin Xuanya, “Xuanya, are you thinking about your family?” Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips slightly and nodded. There were some emotions on her cold face. She was worried and nervous.

However, Youqin Xuanya lowered her head and said, “I should have forgotten about the mortal world when I went up the mountain. At this moment, my mortal heart is still uncertain...”

“Silly Xuanya.” Jiu Jiu walked over and hugged Youqin Xuanya from behind. She rubbed her forehead against the exposed skin on the back of Youqin Xuanya’s ice-blue dress.

“Who can really not care about their biological parents? It’s just that your parents are different from others.”

“Aunt-Master...”

“Ah, Xuanya is so soft. Hehehe... Smile, quickly smile for me!” Youqin Xuanya’s face lit up. She quickly stopped Jiu Jiu’s mischievous hands, but she could not bring herself to laugh... “Little Jiu, stop fooling around! Xuanya, don’t mind her. She drank too much and is crazy!” Jiu Yiyi made use of her authority as the Eldest Senior Sister in time and pulled Jiu Jiu away from Youqin Xuanya’s back. She forcefully dragged her away, causing the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect to look at her and smile.

A few immortals from the sect walked over one after another and reminded Youqin Xuanya gently that she did not have to worry too much. The sect would not let this matter rest.

Youqin Xuanya tried her best to respond to him. Finally, she had some free time. She sat cross-legged on the cloud.

The others understood and did not disturb him.

Youqin Xuanya took out an egg that was wrapped in immortal power. She looked at the simple smile on the egg, her eyes filled with determination. Senior Brother Changshou... I will definitely settle this matter.

Then, she carefully put away the egg. Youqin Xuanya placed the Fire Scale Sword Case on her skirt and closed her eyes to focus. She adjusted her state to its peak.

If she did not go all out for the matter regarding the Honglin Kingdom, who else could she ask...

Swoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air suddenly broke the silence of the starry night. The cloud floating towards the south became noisy.

A Grand Elder caught the communication jade token flying from the south. He opened the jade token and read it carefully. His expression immediately turned gloomy.

“Uncle-Master, what’s wrong?” “The enemy has invaded. The Honglin Kingdom has been broken through. The immortals of the Honglin Kingdom have been defeated. The enemy is approaching the palace.” The expressions of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect changed. Youqin Xuanya suddenly stood up. Her face was pale, but there was not much panic in her eyes.

An elder shouted, “Xuanya...” “I’m fine.” Youqin Xuanya cupped her fists and lowered her head. Her ponytail swayed gently. “I will listen to the sect’s arrangements. When I make a decision, please do not consider my mortal status!”

“Okay.” The Grand Elder said firmly, “The Honglin Kingdom is under the protection of the Immortal Du Sect. If we ignore the Honglin Kingdom, wouldn’t the reputation of the Immortal Du Sect be ruined? Half of the Heaven Immortals rushed to the capital to help! You must protect the Honglin Kingdom’s King Qin!” Immediately, ten Heaven Immortals from the sect stood up and moved away from the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect. They turned into streams of light and shot towards the south.

Youqin Xuanya looked uneasy. After hesitating for a while, she said, “Disciple, please go and support them first!”

Jiu Jiu immediately jumped out. “I’ll go with Xuanya!”

“I’ll go too.” Jiu Yiyi came forward with her sword and looked at the Immortal Du Sect’s Sect Leader, who was clearly hesitating. “If we let Xuanya watch from behind, it would be too cruel. Little Jiu and I will do our best to protect her.”

“In that case, I’ll follow you.”

An old woman stood up. She was a Grand Elder in the sect, who was at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

The other elders agreed and reminded them to be careful.

Jiu Jiu threw the huge gourd on her back out. The gourd expanded in the wind and turned thirty feet long in the blink of an eye. Jiu Yiyi, Youqin Xuanya, and the old woman quickly jumped onto the gourd. Jiu Jiu sat cross-legged at the mouth of the gourd. She raised both her hands and pointed her sword. Two balls of faint light flickered on her fingertips. When they trembled, they were as fast as phantoms and formed a complicated seal. “Quick!”

Jiu Jiu shouted softly and the huge gourd shot towards the south. Due to the fact that it was moving too quickly, it almost flung the three immortals on its back away.

Youqin Xuanya could not sit still on the gourd.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. It was as if something major that was related to her was happening. “Mother...”

Youqin Xuanya raised her hand to cover the pendant on her chest and forced herself to calm down.

At that moment, apart from calmness, any excess emotions would only result in negative effects.

After flying for more than an hour, the old woman behind suddenly shouted,

“Little Jiu, slow down. The battle is happening 1,500 kilometers ahead!”

Jiu Jiu immediately slowed down and grabbed the jade wine pot hanging from her waist. She took a small sip and asked, “Uncle-Master, what happened?” “The ones who attacked the Honglin Kingdom are definitely not from simple immortal sects!”

The old woman’s expression turned cold. She sighed and said, “The ten fellow disciples who were sent over just now have been stopped halfway by the other party. The situation is precarious. I’ll rush over to provide support first. Don’t barge in. Wait behind and meet up with the immortals in the sect.” After saying that, the old woman leaped up and activated the Rainbow Light Technique. She was faster than the huge gourd when it was flying in the sky. She rushed forward to provide support.

Jiu Jiu turned to look at Jiu Yiyi and Youqin Xuanya. She asked softly, “Let’s move forward and see if we can help.”

The two of them immediately nodded and agreed. Jiu Jiu once again activated the Evil-Vanquishing Ruyi Sword. This time, she flew a little slower and approached the battleground ahead. However, they were a step too late. Just as they were 500 kilometers away from the battle arena, the eleven Heaven Immortals on their side, including the Grand Elder...

They were all captured. Jiu Jiu was enraged when she saw that. She activated her first technique and immediately rushed forward to fight the dozens of enemy immortals.

At that moment, streams of light soared into the sky from the ground. After a while, hundreds of figures gathered and stood on a white cloud.

There were dozens of Heaven Immortals, more than a hundred Perfected Immortals, and two experts whose auras were vaguely in the Golden Immortal realm!

Jiu Jiu burped and immediately cringed. She turned to Youqin Xuanya and muttered, “Something seems to be amiss. Should we take our time?” He really could not win. Jiu Yiyi was experienced and knowledgeable. She immediately recognized the flag that the immortals had erected. “Look at the flag they are using. It’s the Dao Immortal Sect of the Middle Continent, the Dao heritage of Chan School.” Youqin Xuanya asked, “Why are they here?” “To vie for our territory.” Jiu Jiu shook her head. “It’s obvious that the two tribes that attacked the Honglin Kingdom are supported by this immortal sect. This is quite common... Xuanya, what do you want to do?”

Youqin Xuanya remained silent and gripped the pendant in front of her chest tightly. Jiu Yiyi continued, “They captured the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect but did not kill them. That is also a rule of the mortal world. That way, they will not be considered to have started a war with the Immortal Du Sect. A large part of the reason for the conflict between the Southern Continent’s mortal nations and tribes is that the immortal sects were secretly fighting for the wealth of the mortal world. Later, a large number of immortals from our sect will rush over. As long as we give up on the Honglin Kingdom, they will return these captured fellow disciples, give gifts, and apologize to the sect. In that case...”

Jiu Yiyi paused and looked at Youqin Xuanya at the same time as Jiu Jiu did. Youqin Xuanya’s expression remained the same. She lowered her head and pondered. Suddenly, he heard the sound of thunder exploding. A thunderous, rough voice echoed in the world, spreading for thousands of kilometers! The person said, “The King of the Honglin Kingdom is dead. The Dragon line of succession has been severed. The capital is under our control. Fellow Daoists of the Immortal Du Sect, why are you in a hurry to travel? Fellow Daoists of the Immortal Du Sect, if you agree to give up this piece of land, the immortals of your sect will return safely. We will also prepare gifts and visit you in the future to apologize.” Youqin Xuanya’s body trembled and she almost slipped off the huge gourd. Jiu Yiyi sighed. “We were a step too late.”

“Hmph!”

Jiu Jiu pursed her lips. The huge gourd turned a corner and immediately circled towards the southwest direction, crashing into a white cloud.

Jiu Jiu pulled a long face and started forming hand seals again. This time, she did not speed up the gourd. Instead, she used a brilliant trick to make the huge gourd and the three of them almost transparent.

“Xuanya, don’t be anxious. I’ll bring you there to take a look.” Jiu Jiu snorted. “Don’t be fooled by them!”

“Little Jiu, this is too risky!” As she spoke, Jiu Yiyi looked at Youqin Xuanya’s pale face and sighed. “Let’s not get too close. One or two people can’t change anything...” “Aunt-Master, Uncle-Master, you guys go back first.”

Youqin Xuanya said softly and slowly exhaled. Her expression returned to normal. She carried the sword case on her back and jumped out of the gourd. As her skirt fluttered, she conjured a seal with both hands and immediately flew into the

sky...

However, the huge gourd turned around and blocked Youqin Xuanya. Jiu Jiu folded her arms and sat at the mouth of the wine gourd. She frowned and said, “What can you do there? Are you going to die for nothing?” Jiu Yiyi also persuaded, “Xuanya, the sect has yet to make a decision. Why don’t you wait for the Sect Leader’s orders...”

“This matter has nothing to do with Aunt-Master and Uncle-Master or the sect.” Youqin Xuanya said in a low voice. Her voice did not tremble at all. Her gaze did not waver at all. “Please do not stop me. I will go to the Punishment Hall to ask for punishment later.” Jiu Jiu scolded, “Alright, don’t say such things at this juncture! I know that you don’t want your fellow sect members to bleed because of you, but we don’t want to see you die for nothing. I can take care of you if I go with you.” “No need.” Youqin Xuanya took two steps back and looked at Jiu Jiu. She clenched her fists slightly and said, “I don’t need any help. If Aunt-Master insists on forcing me, I’d rather die here!” Jiu Jiu could not help but say anxiously, “You’re so good-looking. Why are you so stubborn? Do you still want to be with Little Changshou?!” Youqin Xuanya’s eyes turned red. However, she immediately took a deep breath and said firmly, “There are things you can do and cannot do. How can you do whatever you want!?!” “Are you!?!” “Little Jiu!” Jiu Yiyi pulled Jiu Jiu and sighed. “Let her go. She should decide her own life.” “Thank you, Aunt-Master.”

Youqin Xuanya bowed and performed a Dao salute. Then, she activated her Dharma spell and flashed past the side. She turned into a stream of light and flew south.

She was traveling at full speed, completely disregarding the consumption of her immortal power. What Youqin Xuanya did not notice was... as she flew forward, a unique Dao rune of the Wind Escape technique quietly wrapped around her body, making her seem to have temporarily disappeared from the world. She successfully slipped past the eyelids of the Immortal Dao Sect.

At the same time, in the royal palace of the Honglin Kingdom, dozens of black shadows flew everywhere. The sky was illuminated by the flames. In the main hall that was filled with corpses, a female Perfected Immortal dressed in a long robe and a mask kept waving the long whip in her hand. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Search! Don’t let half of the Youqin Clan’s souls go! I want them to beg for death!”

Underground, Li Changshou looked at the new Soul-Bewitching Pearl in his palm and looked up at the ferocious woman. He shook his head slightly.

How vicious.

The King had already been assassinated by the guards beside him when the siege began. He naturally left it to Youqin to take revenge. It was not appropriate for him to meddle in the affairs of others and by snatching the soul away first, he was already doing his best.
