Chapter 214: Unrelated Matters Enter the Sect, Revenge After Ten Years Is Not Too Late

Three streaks of light streamed across the sky, their powerful auras unrestrained and immediately sensed by others.

A peak Golden Core cultivator, one in the late stage, and one in the mid stage!

Of the three, the one in peak Golden Core wore white robes, handsome and refined, with a commanding aura—no less impressive than Hong Shao in her prime!

The late-stage cultivator wore brown robes, tall and sturdy, with a steady presence.

The mid-stage one wore blue, of average build, but no less formidable.

Yu Xian watched the three flying toward them, expression subtly shifting.

He recognized the peak Golden Core cultivator in the lead.

Back on Ascension Island, when the Six Great Sects brought their disciples for the Immortal Ascension Gathering, this man had led the Xuantian Sect’s team.

His name… should be Yi Linfeng.

As Yi Linfeng and the others spotted Hong Shao and Chen Manman from afar, two of them reacted with visible surprise—especially Yi Linfeng, who beamed with joy, surged ahead of the others, and arrived ten breaths earlier to respectfully greet them.

“It’s truly Fairy Hong! Greetings! I thought you had perished in the great calamity. Who would have imagined you survived?”

“Greetings, Daoist Brother,” Hong Shao responded calmly but respectfully. “I was fortunate to survive and have been recovering for years. I now come to join the Haotian Zhengzong and pledge my efforts to destroy the demonic Blood River Sect.”

“Good, good, excellent!”

Yi Linfeng was overjoyed. “With Fairy Hong joining us, our sect’s strength will rise yet again. Many who fled from the Medicine King Valley have already joined. You arriving now will strengthen our alchemy division immensely!”

A cold voice cut in.

“Seems like this Daoist Brother only welcomes my senior sister and not me. Very well, I shall remain a rogue cultivator with my disciples.”

It was Chen Manman, expression chilly as she looked at Yi Linfeng.

Yi Linfeng was momentarily taken aback—not intentionally ignoring her, just unaware of who she was and hesitant to speak out of turn.

Hong Shao frowned slightly. “Sister, do not be rude to Daoist Brother Yi.”

She then introduced her. “This is my junior sister, Chen Manman.”

Yi Linfeng’s eyes lit up in realization. “Ah, so you’re Fairy Chen! I’ve long heard of your talent—not only did you form a core in just a hundred years, you’ve also refined high-grade pills, even a tier-6 treasure pill if the rumors are true! Forgive my earlier disrespect.”

Chen Manman nodded coolly, her tone softening. “I was the one in error. Please don’t take offense.”

Typically, a peak Golden Core cultivator would pay little attention to an early-stage one. But alchemists were different.

Chen Manman’s pills could be used even by Nascent Soul cultivators.

A peak Foundation Establishment alchemist could be treated as equal by a Golden Core cultivator. A peak Golden Core alchemist could be on equal footing with Nascent Souls.

Hence, despite her cultivation level, Chen Manman stood as an equal to Yi Linfeng.

Yi Linfeng laughed heartily. “With both of you joining, we’ll definitely eradicate the Blood River Sect and restore peace to the Eastern Continent!”

Just then, the other two cultivators caught up and saluted. “Fairy Hong, Fairy Chen, greetings.”

Hong Shao and Chen Manman returned the courtesy with a polite nod.

“Come, come!”

Yi Linfeng smiled. “The seven Grand Elders will be thrilled to meet you both!”

The other two Golden Core cultivators nodded. “Fairy Hong and Fairy Chen’s alchemy is famed throughout the Eastern Continent. We look forward to learning from you!”

Hong Shao chuckled. “Then I’ll trouble you to lead the way.”

Thus, under Yi Linfeng’s lead, the group flew toward the main sect.

The news of two elite alchemists from the fallen Medicine King Valley joining had already been transmitted ahead.

Before they even arrived, the grand mountain gate opened, and two Nascent Soul elders, flanked by eight Golden Core cultivators, stepped forth to welcome them.

Yi Linfeng pointed excitedly. “Look, Fairies Hong and Chen—those are our Sect’s two Supreme Elders!”

Zhou Sanming laughed. “Come, I’ll take you to get your inner disciple robes and identity tokens. Once you’re properly registered, you’ll receive your cultivation resources and missions. Once Fairy Hong is formally made an Elder, her disciples will naturally receive better treatment than ordinary inner disciples.”

Yu Xian, Su Xiaoduo, and You Xiaohua were guided to the inner sect to begin their official entry process.

As they walked, some disciples noticed them, especially former Medicine King Valley members who joyfully recognized You Xiaohua.

“Senior Sister Xiaohua! You remember me?”

“Me too, Sister!”

“Is that really you? Did Elder Hong and Elder Chen really come too?”

These disciples had joined Haotian Zhengzong after their sect’s fall and, despite being accepted, still felt like outsiders. Now, seeing their old Elders and senior sisters arrive filled them with pride.

Their once-displaced alchemy division would now become a force again—possibly the core of this new sect!

You Xiaohua greeted them with gentle smiles, confirming the arrival of their elders.

Soon after, they arrived at the logistics hall to receive their robes, tokens, and initial resources. The sect didn’t provide everything—disciples would need to earn more on their own.

Yu Xian, Su Xiaoduo, and You Xiaohua accepted everything without complaint.

Zhou Sanming smiled. “Now that you are disciples, I will arrange separate residences for each of you. These come with dedicated cultivation spaces, so long as you complete your missions.”

Yu Xian respectfully replied, “Thank you, Elder.”

As they continued walking, Yu Xian suddenly froze, eyes narrowing.

He saw a woman.

Foundation Establishment early stage, pretty enough—but to Yu Xian, her face was loathsome.

He remembered instantly—she was Li’er, disciple of alchemist Guo Ping, great-granddaughter of the Sixth Elder of the Xuantian Sect.

It all came back—years ago, their alchemy duel, her false accusations, the chain of events that led to his separation from his master.

Back then, he was young, impulsive. But the root of it all was her.

She was a Xuantian Sect disciple… and now he had met her again.

Had fate truly brought her before him again, after ten years?

Yu Xian’s eyes grew cold.

He wouldn’t seek vengeance at the cost of his path or his master.

But now that she was here, there would be no letting go.

After registering and crafting soul tablets that connected to their life force—standard for disciples—Yu Xian, Su Xiaoduo, and You Xiaohua were now formally part of the sect.

The Nascent Soul elders warmly welcomed Hong Shao and Chen Manman personally, recognizing Hong Shao’s immense value as an alchemy master—on par with, or even above, a Nascent Soul in worth.

Their arrival caused a huge stir. The other five Nascent Soul elders and twenty-eight Golden Core Elders were already waiting at the mountaintop’s Xuantian Divine Palace.

Yu Xian and the others were stopped halfway—Foundation Establishment disciples were not allowed near the summit’s sanctums.

They were taken to complete their registrations, while Hong Shao and Chen Manman continued onward.

The towering gates of Haotian Zhengzong opened.

An expansive world of cultivation brilliance unfolded before them.

Clouds, cranes, flowing spiritual energy like misty silk—the sect was a true immortal paradise.

Yu Xian, though awed, didn’t feign indifference. He observed everything carefully, memorizing buildings and routes. He knew this would be his home for a while.

More disciples recognized the new arrivals, calling out excitedly—especially those from the old Medicine King Valley.

Hong Shao and Chen Manman smiled warmly and responded with encouragement.

They were officially entering the sect now—and their return changed everything.

With Hong Shao, a master capable of refining tier-7 pills, the balance of power in the sect was shifting.

A Nascent Soul joining was big.

A peak-tier alchemist?

Even bigger.
