Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 726: Chapter 311: Old Friends from the Profound Lady Sect (Part 2)

Within the army, there was one faction that was particularly unique; it was completely composed of female cultivators, each as radiant as a hundred flowers.

The adjacent array cultivators, upon seeing this uniform assembly of female cultivators, recognized them as cultivators from the Profound Lady Sect and would often steal glances at them.

Although the faces of these female cultivators were stunning and unparalleled, their expressions were icy cold, regarding the surrounding male cultivators as venomous snakes and fierce beasts.

Those male cultivators, feeling embarrassed, many withdrew their gaze, though some remained enamored with the idea of an ice-cold beauty, unable to look away.

They were particularly envious of one person within the Profound Lady Sect, who was a green-robed cultivator, the only male amidst the hundred flowers of the Profound Lady Sect!

Rumor had it, he was the child of the previous Saintess of the Profound Lady Sect, found outside and adopted back to the sect. Although the former Saintess had tarnished the sect’s name, this child’s astonishing talent warranted his acceptance.

The green-robed cultivator faced the hostile gazes with eyes as cold as an ancient ice pool, returning each look with equal chill.

Seeing those terrifying eyes, many felt a chill sweep over them and instinctively averted their gaze.

Yet, there were still a few who were completely unafraid.

In response, the green-robed cultivator unsheathed his sword, its aura as vast and deep as the still sea, causing those few to retreat.

"Master, well done!"

Beside the green-robed cultivator was a bright figure, who transmitted her voice to him.

She was the Saintess of the Profound Lady Sect, especially fond of drinking, often punished with secluded cultivation by the Sect Leader of the Profound Lady Sect, yet she remained unrepentant.

She was Ye Qinghe, reincarnated from the True Martial Realm.

And the green-robed cultivator was Taoist Longshan.

"Qinghe, next time for such matters, it would be better for you as the Saintess to take charge. I really do not want to do it!"

Ye Qinghe transmitted a reply.

"Hehe, that’s not possible; after all, Master, you are now the Path Guardian of the Profound Lady Sect? You should be glad—can’t you see those people wish they could trade places with you?"

"Cease your nonsense!"

The two of them, master and disciple, reincarnated to the Fuyao Realm and successively joined the Profound Lady Sect.

However, Ye Qinghe became Taoist Longshan’s senior sister, while Taoist Longshan became the junior brother.

Originally master and disciple in the True Martial Realm, their positions changed to senior sister and junior brother, naturally making Taoist Longshan feel extremely frustrated, leading to his cold demeanor over the years.

Being the sole male cultivator of the Profound Lady Sect, the other female cultivators were initially uneasy about him, but this act made everyone regard him more highly.

Thus, Taoist Longshan was appointed by the Sect Leader of the Profound Lady Sect as the Path Guardian.

Last time Ning Qi contacted him, he finally erupted, leaving an enigmatic remark.

"Jiu, you wait and see..."

Making Ning Qi laugh for half a day.

Ye Qinghe, as the Saintess of the Profound Lady Sect, outwardly addressed Taoist Longshan as junior brother during their exchange, while he called her senior sister. But during transmissions, Ye Qinghe still respectfully referred to him as master.

If not, Taoist Longshan would assert his masterly authority as in the True Martial Realm.

The Profound Lady Sect is the most unique sect within the Fuyao Realm.

Any event occurring in the Fuyao Realm naturally escapes not their notice.

The Cyan Profound Immortal Sect once sought to cross the domain to eliminate the Infinite Sword Sect, which is Ning Qi’s current sect. How could Taoist Longshan and Ye Qinghe not be concerned?

So, as soon as Sikong Lan approached Qi Keqing, the two couldn’t help but converse.

Ye Qinghe transmitted, "Master, what do you think Sikong Lan’s intentions are in wanting to join the Jade Light Immortal Sect’s army?"

Taoist Longshan replied, "I don’t know his intentions, but I fear Qi Keqing might truly be overwhelmed by him!"

Ye Qinghe continued, "That shouldn’t happen, apart from Junior Brother Ning and yourself, Senior Sister Qi is the third person I admire. She has accomplished so many great things; how could she be captivated by Sikong Lan?"

"You make a fair point."

Ye Qinghe added secretly, "Master, Senior Sister Qi thinks highly of our Profound Lady Sect, I’ve heard she has been secretly supporting us through multiple crises."

Taoist Longshan paused, "Why do I not know about this?"

"Hehe, it’s a secret known only to the Saintess and the Sect Leader; as the Path Guardian and a male, naturally some things must be kept from you for now!"

"Then why tell me at all? Qinghe, though we are originally from the True Martial Realm, we must remain trustworthy wherever we are!"

Ye Qinghe felt helpless, constantly sensing her master was deliberately lecturing her.

Both their cultivations had just stepped into the Integration Realm.

As the closest people to Ning Qi, they naturally received more care from him, hence their cultivation speed outpacing other reincarnated individuals from the True Martial Realm.

Both looked ahead.

Faced with Sikong Lan’s verbal barrage, Qi Keqing appeared momentarily swayed.

But soon after, Qi Keqing suddenly said to Sikong Lan, "To join my army, you must follow my every command, can you do that?"

Upon hearing this, those assuming she’d been swayed felt relieved.

Sikong Lan’s eyes darted about.

Qi Keqing was trying to seize his command, but as long as he continued to lead his troops, there was no issue.

So Sikong Lan replied, "Naturally!"

Qi Keqing’s face, with great heroism, suddenly smiled. It possessed no feminine gentleness but instead bore a hint of cold cruelty.

"Very well, integrate your forces within my army; I believe my captains would be willing to accept you."

Sikong Lan’s expression slightly changed, "Senior Sister Qi, that doesn’t seem right?"

He intended to join the Jade Light Immortal Sect’s army and use their strength, not to lose control over his own forces.

If his forces were dispersed, how could he lead?

"These are my rules, either join or not, if not then don’t block the path!" Qi Keqing said dominantly.
