Fantasy: I Did Not Raise The Divine Beasts

Chapter 38: Patriarch’s Scheme

Lian Shenyin carried Daoist Xing Yun to Xiao Changtian’s room alone.

“Daoist Xing Yun?”

Mu Jiuhuang was stunned. She instantly recognized the injured old man.

It was the Xingyun Emperor who had passed the great emperor’s position to her.

At that time, she had just broken through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and defeated Daoist Xing Yun, taking down the great emperor in one go.

However, Mu Jiuhuang was clear that Daoist Xing Yun had already developed the intention to retire during that battle.

That was why he gave her a chance.

Otherwise, how could she, who had just broken through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, defeat the Xingyun Emperor? At most, she would be on par with the Daoist Xing Yun.

Although now, Daoist Xing Yun was no longer his opponent.

But even so, the people who could hurt him on the streets were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Why did he suffer from such heavy injuries?

“You guys go out first. I’ll treat this old man.”

Xiao Changtian said to Mu Jiuhuang, Lian Shenyin, and Chu Yiren.

The three of them nodded and walked out of the room.

“Emperor.”

Lian Shenyin bowed to Mu Jiuhuang.

“Sect leader Lian, there’s no need to be so polite. In the eyes of the senior, we are all ordinary people. Do you understand?”

Mu Jiuhuang’s phoenix eyes squinted as she said in a low voice.

“Understood.”

They were all intelligent people. In an instant, Lian Shenyin understood that this senior was hiding in the mortal world and playing around.

“I’m just curious. Who could hurt Daoist Xing Yun?” Mu Jiuhuang asked in a low voice.

Daoist Xing Yun was extremely powerful.

According to reason, crossing the Heavenly Tribulation Realm meant invincible in the era when the Greater Vehicle Realm did not exist.

“A few sea race brats ambushed that brat.”

Suddenly, the tortoise’s voice rang out.

“Senior Black Tortoise!”

“You mean the one who injured Daoist Xing Yun was the sea king of the sea tribe?”

When Mu Jiuhuang heard this, she looked at the green tortoise respectfully.

Seeing this, Lian Shenyin also reacted. This tortoise should be the divine beast that Daoist Qing Yun had mentioned, the Black Tortoise. She quickly followed suit and bowed.

After paying his respects, his eyes scanned the small courtyard. Then, he noticed the divine beast ant in the bamboo forest and the grass in the backyard.

“Greetings, senior,”

Lian Shenyin quickly greeted the ant.

However, the ant only glanced at her and wandered into the grass.

“Phew! Luckily, my intuition was right. This ant does have the same master as the Black Tortoise.”

Lian Shenyin was happy.

Not long after, Xiao Changtian walked out of the room.

“Little girl, don’t cry. Your grandfather will probably wake up tomorrow.”

“It’s just a small injury. Don’t worry.”

Xiao Changtian looked at the seven-year-old girl in front of him and said with a faint smile.

The old man’s body was extremely tough.

He had already taken care of his injuries. As long as he had a good rest, he would probably be fine by tomorrow morning.

“Thank you, big brother,” An innocent smile appeared on Xing Ling’er’s face.

She no longer cried.

“Jiu’er, take the little girl to wash her face first,” Xiao Changtian looked at Xing Ling’er’s crying face and instructed Mu Jiuhuang.

“Yes.”

Mu Jiuhuang nodded in agreement.

“I’ll go with you,” Chu Yiren followed Mu Jiuhuang.

“Ye Fan, go and sell some firewood tonight. Get some money for us to have a taste of meat tonight,” Xiao Changtian looked at the sudden guests in the small courtyard and could only give such an order.

Ye Fan had been chopping firewood recently. It had almost filled up a small room.

“Yes, master,”

Ye Fan nodded. He carried the basket and went to sell firewood.

When Lian Shenyin heard this, she realized the senior had a disciple.

She quickly looked at Ye Fan. After all, the senior was strong, and even Emperor Jiuhuang was only the senior’s servant. Then how strong would the senior’s disciple be?

However, she was stunned at first glance.

“Senior’s disciple is a mortal?”

Lian Shenyin was filled with shock.

However, after the initial shock, she was slightly astonished.

She looked at Ye Fan, he was indeed a mortal, but his walking speed seemed to be very slow, but it also seemed to be very fast.

It was extremely strange.

She even saw Ye Fan smiling at her. She was dazed for a moment. She rubbed her eyes. When she looked at Ye Fan again, he had already disappeared.

“What…”

Lian Shenyin looked at the scene before her and didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t tell if the senior’s disciple was mortal.

Just like Xiao Changtian.

The feeling Ye Fan gave her was weird, like he was between a mortal and a cultivator.

The feeling that Xiao Changtian gave her was that of an actual mortal.

“Could this be the realm of an expert?”

Lian Shenyin was puzzled.

However, Xiao Changtian did not notice Lian Shenyin’s reaction.

Meanwhile, in a secret room in the Divine Sound Sect, a tall old man had a shocked expression.

“You’re saying that Lian Shenyin has already crossed the fourth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”

The old man sat on the futon with a ruthless expression.

“That’s right,” An elder reported.

“Heh. I thought of turning her into a human cauldron when Lian Shenyin gets stronger.”

“Back then, I killed her master because I fancied her constitution and wanted her to become stronger so I could devour her. However, her cultivation level is the same as mine.”

“If I continue to let her stabilize her cultivation, my plan will be ruined.”

“Heh, set up the formation. When she returns, cooperate with my plan and take her down in one go.”

The Divine Sound Sect’s patriarch said ruthlessly.

“Yes, patriarch.”

Below, vice sect leader Qin Shou sneered.

He had been eyeing the position of sect leader for a long time. Since the patriarch was going to make a move, he only had to cooperate.

He had no idea about the evil plan of these two people.

In the small courtyard, Lian Shenyin told Xiao Changtian how she had disturbed his rest by playing the zither at noon.

However, she didn’t expect Xiao Changtian didn’t care at all.

“So you like to play the zither too. It just so happens that I’ve recently written a score for the zither. Unfortunately, I don’t have a zither.”

“Since you like to play the zither, I’ll give you this score.”

Xiao Changtian said indifferently as he handed over a page of his score to Lian Shenyin.

…

At night, everyone gathered in the small courtyard and had a meal. Lian Shenyin took advantage of the night to comprehend half of the score.

The following day, Daoist Xing Yun woke up early in the morning.

“Grandpa, that’s great. You’re awake.”

Xing Ling’er’s surprised voice was heard from the room.

“Senior, you’re busy. I’ll take my leave.”

Lian Shenyin also excused herself. After all, she had been out for a long time.

Furthermore, she wanted to return to the Divine Sound Sect and play the score. She could feel that the score contained boundless power.
