Chapter 130: It’s Good to Be Back

The ones on “Cloud Heaven Peak” were none other than the six Grand Elders of Immortal Abode Island. Before leaving, the elders of other sects had two regrets in their hearts: one was not knowing who the person who injured the six Grand Elders of Immortal Abode Island was, and the other was wanting to meet Yue Qianchou himself. The former was clearly something they wouldn’t talk about, and as for meeting Yue Qianchou, they didn’t know if he would even return alive, and even if he did, they didn’t know when that would be. After all, he wasn’t their own disciple, so it wasn’t good to keep waiting with the people of Immortal Abode Island.

In fact, the six Grand Elders had also grown a bit anxious after waiting for two days. They could clearly see the location of the group on the spiritual sense compass, but they didn’t dare to go down and look for them. The warning from the person who injured them was still fresh in their minds. They had tried spiritual sense transmissions several times, but the Demon Ghost Domain was truly strange; spiritual sense transmissions couldn’t get through once they encountered the drifting Yin mist. This made them think of how that person could injure them with spiritual sense alone, which made them even more terrified and even less daring to act rashly.

“Eh! They’re back.” A Grand Elder stared at the compass in front of him, surprised. The others gathered around upon hearing this. The spiritual sense light dots on the compass were rapidly flashing towards them in a straight line.

Guan Dinghai said in a deep voice, “How audacious, to actually fly back on swords! It must be that brat Yue Qianchou’s idea again. Don’t they know it’s dangerous to fly on swords in the Demon Ghost Domain? How does Wei Wu teach his disciples!”

The words sounded like a reprimand, but there was an undeniable hint of pride, as if telling everyone that only Yue Qianchou dared to do such a thing in the Demon Ghost Domain. The Grand Elders smiled faintly, amused by his apparent criticism that was actually praise. However, this disciple had truly brought great honor to his Old Guan family among the various sects, and also to Immortal Abode Island among the various factions. Otherwise, why would the six Grand Elders be waiting here for them?

Strangely, the six disciples seemed to have encountered no danger on their flight, their speed never diminishing, and they were already directly approaching the mountaintop. The Grand Elders also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ma Jiugu and Guan Weiwu. All six of them stared downwards.

Six streaks of light directly pierced through the Yin clouds, settling near the mountaintop and dissipating. The five accompanying Ghost Generals bowed in unison, saying, “Farewell, Sir Yue.”

Yue Qianchou returned the bow, saying, “Thank you, five elder brothers. I won’t say anything else, but Yue Qianchou will remember this favor and repay it another day.” The five Ghost Generals bowed again, transforming into several black streaks and departing, much faster than when they escorted the group, leaving with sharp whistles.

With the cultivation of Yue Qianchou and the other five, they couldn’t see the situation on the mountaintop, but the six Grand Elders on the mountaintop could see their situation. They were all stunned; it was actually five late-stage Ghost King cultivators personally escorting them. This formation was a bit too grand. Guan Dinghai grinned and cursed, “This brat has such airs, to actually have five late-stage Ghost King cultivators escort him, and with six Grand Elders waiting to greet him on the mountain! Even I didn’t get such treatment when I came to the Demon Ghost Domain.” When he said this, he didn’t consider that he himself had been beaten out.

Yue Qianchou led the group to the outside of the large formation on the mountaintop, not daring to trespass, and shouted loudly, “May I ask which seniors are inside? Disciple Yue Qianchou requests an audience.”

Ma Jiugu sent out a spell towards the outside of the formation and said in a deep voice, “Just walk straight in.”

Uh… this voice sounds so familiar? Yue Qianchou was stunned. The group walked straight in, and when they saw Ma Jiugu leaning on her staff, they were stunned again, wondering why she was here. Kou Xuehua, who was beside him, had already bowed and said, “Disciple Kou Xuehua greets the Grand Elders.”

Among these people, only Kou Xuehua had met the Grand Elders. Yue Qianchou and the others didn’t recognize all of them, so they immediately followed suit and bowed, all of them shocked. Why were the six Grand Elders of Immortal Abode Island here? Yue Qianchou secretly thought, ‘Could it be that the Immortal Abode Island experts who fought with that Demon King Ao Li were these few?’

After a short while, Yue Qianchou suddenly felt something was amiss. The gazes of these old fellows were all lingering on him, which was truly a bit unsettling. It was far from the feeling of being admired by a group of beautiful women.

“You are Yue Qianchou?” Guan Dinghai asked in a deep voice.

Damn it! You old bastard, what did I do to offend you? Yue Qianchou bowed and said, “Indeed, this disciple is.”

“Alright, this is not a place to linger. We’ll talk when we get back. Dinghai!” Ma Jiugu poked her staff and shouted.

Guan Dinghai bowed slightly, saying nothing more, and glared fiercely at Yue Qianchou. Then he cast a spell, releasing a flying ship much smaller than the one the disciples had arrived on. After the group boarded, Guan Dinghai personally controlled it, and the flying ship gradually accelerated, becoming faster and faster, disappearing in an instant.

On the ship, Yue Qianchou quietly huddled at the back. Seeing that everyone else was sitting cross-legged cultivating, he sneered inwardly, ‘You guys can cultivate for a year and it won’t be as good as a few top-grade spirit stones for me.’ So he fell asleep peacefully. Xiao Wanqing, however, kept looking back at him, her eyes filled with envy.

The night had passed, and the sea shimmered with the morning sun. The flying ship suddenly decelerated sharply, and Yue Qianchou, who was still half-asleep, was immediately thrown forward. Fortunately, Xiao Wanqing, who was always concerned about him, caught him, but he still stumbled several times.

Yue Qianchou got up and angrily shouted, “I rely on…” Just as he uttered two words, he noticed many pairs of eyes looking at him. He immediately looked out of the ship and changed his words, awkwardly saying, “We’ve already reached Immortal Abode Island so quickly, haha, so fast, truly fast.” After speaking, he sat down guiltily, thinking to himself that they definitely wouldn’t understand the first two words.

Although the crowd didn’t understand what his first two words meant, they probably weren’t anything good, but no one cared, and they all smiled. Xiao Wanqing even covered her mouth, stifling her laughter. Guan Dinghai at the front of the ship looked back and thought, ‘He’s simply lawless. I’ve been piloting this ship all night, and you’re really not polite, just sleeping all night. I’ll let you sleep!’

Upon the return of the six Grand Elders, Immortal Abode Island held a rather grand welcoming ceremony. Feng Xiangtian led a group of elders to greet them in front of the “Penglai Pavilion” main hall. As soon as the group disembarked, Yue Qianchou still discreetly hid at the back. Seeing that there was nothing for them, the junior disciples, to do, he found Guan Weiwu among the welcoming crowd and quickly ran over to bow, saying, “Master, disciple has returned.” Seeing Fei Denan beside his master, he bowed again, saying, “Elder Fei.”

Guan Weiwu patted his shoulder and laughed heartily, “It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back. Not bad, not bad.”

His disciple’s glorious deeds had brought him, the master, great honor. The group who had returned earlier had already spread the news of Yue Qianchou’s exploits in the Demon Ghost Domain far and wide, making it known to almost everyone on Immortal Abode Island. For the past two days, Guan Weiwu had been so happy his mouth almost couldn’t close.

Kou Xuehua and the other two disciples from Myriad Flower Garden naturally also came to greet Fei Denan. Fei Denan was also overjoyed! Although only three people from his Myriad Flower Garden had gone, all of them had returned alive. Especially since all the Nascent Soul stage disciples of Immortal Abode Island had been wiped out, only Kou Xuehua from his Myriad Flower Garden was completely fine, which also brought him great face!

In fact, Kou Xuehua and the other two were also secretly relieved. Originally, Fei Denan had sent them to protect Yue Qianchou, but the outcome was completely unexpected. If it weren’t for Yue Qianchou, they truly didn’t know if they would have returned alive.

“Old Guan, is this your disciple Yue Qianchou? Not bad… Elder Guan, is this your disciple Yue Qianchou? Not bad!” Elders from various factions continuously came to greet Guan Weiwu, their eyes invariably fixed on Yue Qianchou. Guan Weiwu kept laughing heartily, “Yes, yes…” Yue Qianchou, meanwhile, kept bowing and calling out “Elder So-and-so” incessantly.

“Wei Wu, come with me for a moment.” Suddenly, someone walked over and coldly snorted. Guan Weiwu’s smile immediately froze on his face, and he timidly said, “Father!” Then he followed that person away.

Damn it! That old bastard is actually Master’s father? Yue Qianchou was also stunned. Isn’t that the Grand Elder who controlled the flying ship? Thinking of a white-haired old man calling another white-haired old man “Father,” Yue Qianchou got goosebumps all over. He secretly thought, ‘I need to quickly refine that youth-preserving elixir; it’s still better to be young!’ He then stealthily and slowly disappeared into the crowd.
