Chapter 137 Don’t worry
Faced with Old Man Ye's invitation, Chi Xiao was naturally happy to accept it. After all, such a good opportunity would allow her to get closer to the little girl Zhou Ling. Only a fool would refuse.
Moreover, although we don’t know what happened exactly at the moment, just looking at the pale faces of these people, we can tell that something bad must have happened.
The leader of a sect, with all the disciples in the sect, including some infants who couldn't speak. What kind of incident must have happened that would cause them to rush from the outside to the inside of the sect?
Old Man Ye’s invitation might be because he wants her help with something.
Chi Xiao followed their large group. Along the way, no one spoke, even the little baby didn't cry. The whole atmosphere was dead silent.
In this situation, Chi Xiao did not dare to ask more questions in person. She just wanted to see whether Old Man Ye was willing to talk to her. If he was not willing, it would be the same if she asked Zhou Ling's little girl in private.
The Snow-Covered Forest was not far from the Ice Domain Sect. After Chi Xiao joined the troops returning to the sect, she arrived there after a short journey. However, after arriving at the sect, everything she saw made her even more shocked.
All traces of past life were clearly visible, as if everyone in the sect was busy with their work, but suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
The sect lost the functioning of its monks, and time stopped before they disappeared.
"Junior Sister Chi Xiao, please follow me."
Seeing the surprise and confusion in the eyes of this junior sister, Master Ye led her all the way to the main hall.
This was the first time that Chi Xiao set foot on the land of Bingyu Sect. Although she was a demon, she mingled among human cultivators. Looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, everyone knew her.
Fortunately, this situation is not a precedent, and many people just listened to it and let it go without making a big fuss about it.
What's worse, almost everyone is accustomed to her identity as a demon. They know that her true form is a fire fox. What she hates most is going to the cold north. In the past, whenever she received a mission from a sect to come to the north, she had to exchange with others.
Unfortunately, nearly ten thousand years had passed since she was a new disciple of the sect. Those fellow disciples who had given in to her and tried to help her avoid receiving missions to the northern sect had all grown old and died.
Now that she is old, she is willing to come to the North, which she once avoided.
In the reception room of the main hall, a small table separated two cushions, and the two of them sat opposite each other.
Chi Xiao didn't expect that Senior Brother Ye, the sect leader, would do such a trivial matter as making tea himself.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Senior Brother Ye's hands were trembling slightly while he was making tea, she almost thought that this calm-looking Senior Brother called her over because he really wanted her to taste his tea-making skills.
Since the other party didn't speak, Chi Xiao didn't want to bring it up. He had no choice but to pick up the tea that the other party handed to him, sip it, and wait quietly.
Finally... Senior Brother Ye knelt down.
Chi Xiao’s face turned blue.
In fact, it is not really the case that this Sect Leader Ye calls himself Junior Sister and I call him Senior Brother.
If anyone is to blame, it's that Chi Xiao was too reckless and acted too capriciously when he was young.
Back then, she relied on her strength to walk around in the outside world. But women, in particular, care about their age. She is a demon, and her age is slightly older than all the cultivators at that time. Although she can accept it happily when someone calls her ancestor now, in the past, if someone dared to call her ancestor, she would fight with the other party until dawn!
Therefore, in the entire cultivation world at that time, no matter which sect, anyone who knew her knew that she was superstitious about age, so no matter how old or young they were, as long as they saw her, they would call her Junior Sister Chi Xiao. She, on the other hand, didn't care about the other person's age, as long as they called her Junior Sister, she would call them all Senior Brothers or Sisters.
Especially the Senior Brother Ye in front of her. She had seen him before when she traveled all over the country. At that time, the old man surnamed Ye was still a little kid with a short stature. She tried to tease him with candies, but the child looked old since he was a child. He had no interest in candies and would not laugh no matter how she coaxed him. It was really boring.
Now, in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed, and Little Radish has grown old and become a real rigid old man.
He is so rigid that even when he needs a favor from someone, he doesn't know how to be tactful and say it nicely, but just kneels down directly.
If the other person is also someone who lacks social skills, he would be very scared if the old man kneels down to him like this.
"Before I got angry." Chi Xiao held the teacup in one hand and tapped the table with his fingers with the other.
Master Ye naturally understood what she meant, but even though he understood it, it did not stop him from quickly kowtowed twice before he straightened up and sat back on the cushion opposite the table.
The old man picked out and told everything that needed to be said, including how Zhou Ling risked his life to rescue him and how badly he was beaten during the process.
But there are some things he did not mention, such as the Phoenix bloodline that was reborn from the ashes, the old ox whose strength was far beyond imagination, and the strange Taoist magic used by Zhou Ling's mother Zhou Li during the fight.
The most important thing in life is to know one's limits, and this is especially true for a sect leader.
These things might just be opportunities for that little girl Zhou Ling. If he told her sect about it, the opportunities might not be exclusive to her. He knew this very well.
Chi Xiao sat on the futon with a solemn expression. As she listened, she even crushed a teacup in her hand.
No wonder, no wonder Junior Brother Long was so anxious to ask her to come out to find someone, it turned out that he was not making a fuss, it turned out that before he came, the little girl Zhou Ling was almost beaten to death!
And this Ice Domain Sect, they were doing fine, how could they get into such a mess!
In the living sacrifice formation, the fox transformed into a big monster. Where did he get the courage!
Besides, could he, a single demon, handle this formation? Was there no human cultivator helping him?
They are both from the demon clan and the fox clan, but Chi Xiao did not feel any sympathy for this fellow from the same clan at all!
What the hell is this!
"Don't worry, even if you don't ask us for help, our Wandao Sect will still help you with this matter."
The world of cultivating immortals has never been peaceful. Even the major Taoist sects have private fights with each other. Although when a disaster is imminent, they will usually choose to unite against the outside world.
But the problem is that now only the back-up plans left by the demons are a little chaotic, and there are no other major troubles.
Peace in the world means internal strife.
Something like what the Ice Domain Sect is facing now is likely to disappear in this internal strife.
It's a bit cruel, but that's the reality.
Even if it is a sect that is about to be defeated, the immortal cultivation resources accumulated within it are enough to make many people jealous and willing to take risks.
