Chapter 26: The Demon King Returns to Yuanqing

Lingxiang spent a long time arranging things, and finally managed to settle her pile of precious spiritual plants. Just as she was worrying about how to move them to Yuanqing, she saw Maidong coming out of the room carrying large and small bags.

Although this girl looks thin, she seems to be born with supernatural strength. She moved things back and forth several times without showing any sign of fatigue.

"Seventh Senior Brother, your disciple's meals are not eaten in vain. She just went to the mountains to avoid the limelight. After this meal, she left nothing in my You Ran Residence." Ling Xiang wiped the sweat off her face and said while fanning herself.

Master Fuyin chuckled and shook his head, picked up the large bag of books that Maidong had just packed and prepared to put them in the box, but he couldn't help but frowned - should he order his Maidong to eat less...

"Look at you. The message has been sent back. You have quite a few disciples. I didn't ask you to carry the loads for me, your stupid disciples. I'll teach them a lesson when I get back."

"Yuan Qing has just rested, the mountain gate is open, and there are many things for them to do. I only told the brothers, do you want them to come over?"

Lingxiang thought about it after hearing this and suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, forget it. You are just a bunch of old bones. Don't sprain your back again and break these treasures of mine." As he said this, he took out two pieces of stalactite from the Qiankun bag on his waist and placed them together with the spiritual plant.

When Fu Yin saw this, he couldn't help but worry - should his junior sister be disciplined? She didn't even have the manners of a woman.

Lingxiang entrusted the items to the Pingchuan Escort Agency in the city. The chief escort had received favors from Lingxiang before, so he patted his chest and promised to deliver her treasures safely.

……

The headmaster, the head priest and several elders all stood on the circular pedestal behind the Hunyuan Ritual. When Lingxiang followed Zhenren Fuyin into Pojun, the elders all looked at her with different expressions. Only Zhenren Shangqing and Zhenren Qianyuan still had their eyes closed, as if they were resting.

"Hey, it's not a festival, but all the brothers can gather together like this. It's really not easy!"

"You are willing to come back. I thought you were indulging in worldly affairs and followed some monster!"

The one who spoke was Yuanqing sect's chief elder, Zhenren Zhaoming. He was in charge of the sect's daily security and the mountain gate formation, and was the fifth disciple of the previous sect leader.

"Look at what you said. Why should I be reluctant to go back to my own home? Besides, if I really get captured by monsters, wouldn't that be acting in the name of justice? Those monsters will be tortured to death by me. Didn't Fifth Senior Brother often say this when we were young?" Lingxiang didn't care and wandered around the Wuji Palace.

"I haven't been back for a long time. Even this meeting hall has started to display spiritual treasures?" Lingxiang picked up a bead and said, "Wow! This mermaid pearl is of good quality. How about letting me take it back and play with it?"

The two spiritual elders, Danyang and Danzhu, were amused by Lingxiang - after not seeing this little girl for a long time, she was still so unscrupulous.

"Nonsense! How can this be disgraceful!" Elder Zhaoming hurried down from the pedestal of the Hunyuan Instrument and snatched the bead back from Lingxiang's hand - this was the formation-fixing bead of the mountain-guarding formation, how could he just take it away casually? This little girl would really cause trouble for him.

"Oh my, my! Fifth Brother! Look at you, you care about people so much, but you have a soft heart but a sharp tongue. If people don't know, they would think you don't want me to come back!" Lingxiang said, and picked up a sword from the side.

Elder Zhaoming had just put the mermaid pearl back to its place. Seeing Lingxiang like this, he hurriedly snatched the sword from her hand - this was the Star Sword used for setting up the formation. If there was a problem with any mountain formation, this treasure would be indispensable.

Lingxiang was teasing Elder Zhaoming, while Fuyin was sitting on the pedestal. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience in the letter, so I'll tell you all about it now."

So he told him everything he had seen and heard in Youran Residence in detail. After listening to it, Master Qianyuan opened his eyes.

"You mean the dual-blade monk?" He looked at Master Shangqing and said, "Brother, look..."

Shangqing Zhenren did not open his eyes, but just stood there motionless.

"I'm afraid he fell asleep again?" Lingxiang went up to the Hunyuan stage and stood at the last position.

"You naughty monkey, you are an elder of a sect after all, why don't you control your temper and speak without restraint? How can you be so disrespectful to the sect leader?" The person who spoke at this time was Yuanqing's elder Donghui Zhenren, who was in charge of a scripture and taught morality to his disciples.

“What kind of elder am I? You all have high levels of cultivation, but I am only at the foundation-building stage. I am not even as good as Senior Brother Shangqing’s eldest disciple Han Yang,” Lingxiang said, covering her face in a pretentious manner, “In that case, I might as well follow your master, it would be better than suffering such humiliation…”

"Forget it, this girl has been like this for a long time," Shangqing Zhenren said with his eyes still closed: "Now that I'm back, I'll continue..."

"Wait! Stop talking about the furnace master. Why is there a lack of a furnace keeper like me in the sect, or are you all greedy for the furnace peanuts?" Lingxiang interrupted Master Shangqing before he finished speaking. "I just came here to seek shelter. Don't give me a useless title. I'm used to being idle down the mountain, so I can't be an elder."

"Don't be willful! Listen to your senior brother's arrangements!" Zhenren Zhaoming had already stepped onto the Hunyuan stage at this time. When he heard her say this, he began to scold her.

"All the brothers in the sect have their own duties, so why do you need me to do anything? Now I can just stay at Qingwei Peak and live a carefree life. Isn't that wonderful? Why do I need to be an elder? Aren't you afraid that I will lead you disciples astray?"

Lingxiang's words actually made Master Zhaoming feel that they made sense - in the past few years, his disciples had been instigated by her to do many wrong things.

Taoist Zhaoming could not help but stroke his forehead and hurriedly tried to persuade Taoist Shangqing, saying that Lingxiang was still cautious and undecided, and that his qualifications were not enough to convince others.

After hearing this, Shangqing Zhenren frowned slightly - wouldn't this tarnish Lingxiang's reputation? Even though she is still young and her cultivation is not high, if she just follows her temper, how can she explain to her deceased master? It will also be difficult to tell others.

He opened his eyes and looked at Zhenren Qianyuan, intending to let his resourceful junior brother think of a countermeasure. He had no idea what to do with this little junior sister.

As brothers who had been teachers together for many years, Zhenren Qianyuan could naturally tell what the brothers were thinking and worried about from a look. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Why not become the head of Qingwei Peak first, and then make other plans after Junior Sister has calmed down..."

This method is quite good. It can not only help her calm down, but also allow her to participate in the sect's affairs, and also protect her in the mountains.

"Let's do this, but in this case, you are not allowed to enter or leave the Wuji Palace without being summoned."

"Hey, this room is full of good things and I can't take them away. It doesn't matter if you don't come. It's not a big pity!" Lingxiang said and waved his hand nonchalantly, but he heard Zhenren Zhaoming shudder. Zhenren Chengxin, the elder who passed on the skills, saw it and patted him on the shoulder while trying to suppress his smile.
