Li Nianfan watched as Zhou Yunwu rushed to leave. He smiled.

A prince from a royal kingdom. If he could achieve his ambitions, the Immortal Realm would be interesting.

He tidied up and said, Daji, lets go back.

The stall owner yelled from behind him, Mr. Li, safe travels and come again.

As for Zhou Yunwu, he left town with his bodyguard. They headed straight to the Xia Kingdom.

However, they were stopped by a scholar.

The scholar was dressed simply and minimalistic, yet, he somehow managed to stand out. Im Meng Junliang. Greetings.

Zhou Yunwu politely replied, Im the Prince of the Xia Kingdom, Zhou Yunwu!

Meng Junliang went straight to the point. Prince Zhou, I have an impolite request. Can you please share with me your conversation with Mr. Li?

Zhou Yunwu frowned. That

Meng Junliang said, Im Mr. Lis apprentice. I have a lot of questions in mind to ask Mr. Li, but I fear I will annoy him. I saw you both getting along well, so I got curious.

Oh, youre Mr. Lis apprentice. Zhou Yunwu was instantly friendlier. Why dont you be my guest at the Xia Kingdom? We can chat along the way.

Meng Junliang nodded. Okay, lets go!

They chatted while walking. Meng Junliang repeatedly processed what Zhou Yunwu told him. Sometimes, he would look shocked, other times, he would look like he realized something.

Non-politicians wont be involved in politics.

Instigation What a good plan!

To describe a country as a dumpling, and the banditries as the chopsticks, spoon, and plate. So simple yet so clear. Only Mr. Li can do something like that.

Meng Junliang felt sentimental. The confusion in his eyes faded away. He was left in awe.

Mr. Lis deeply insightful of the world.

Meng Junliang gasped and said, I finally realize where I went wrong.

Zhou Yunwu asked curiously, Where, Junliang?

Meng Junliang took a deep breath. Application! Mr. Li understands the world and can apply it to his actions and words. Thats the true Dao! I thought I knew everything, but its just theoretical, so its useless.

For example, this instigation plan. I can see through their greed, too, and Id want to instigate them, too. But I wouldnt be able to show you how to do that specifically. Why cant I think of that?

Zhou Yunwu saw the opportunity and took it. Invitingly, he said, Junliang, if you feel like you lack real experience, why not work for the Xia Kingdom? You can showcase your strengths.

Meng Junliang did not reject his offer. If thats the case, I shall accept it.

Haha, lets go! The Xia Kingdom welcomes you, Junliang!

At the Linxian Palace.

Countless figures flew in from afar. Qin Manyun did not look good. Some disciples followed behind her.

Zhou Dacheng asked, Manyun, hows the situation out there?

Not good!

Qin Manyun shook her head. There was worry in her voice as she said, The plagues spreading way too fast. It seems like demons are the ones who helped spread it. The Northside and Westside are infected. Not only the ponds and villages, but a lot of sects were wiped out, too! There have been a lot more demonic worshippers, too!

Zhou Dacheng was shocked. Its gotten that serious already?

Qin Manyun sighed and said, Too many people were affected by this disaster. The bridge to immortality has been broken for too long. A lot of Immortals didnt want to be summoned, so people are losing faith in Immortals, too. Plus, the demons were preaching their beliefs on the Lord Demon God, so the people were easily swayed.

Even in the Southside, they have built a kingdom for the Lord Demon God. Theyve waged wars and colonized areas. If they manage to gather the common people in the Immortal Realm, Im afraid that

Zhou Dacheng frowned and said, All these years, as cultivators, weve underestimated the power of the people.

Common people were the majority. It would be deadly if mainstream mindsets were to change.

The more important thing is Qin Manyun took a deep breath and said, It seems like there are signs of the plague in our area!

What?! Zhou Dacheng exclaimed in disbelief. It has spread so fast that its in our area?

Its not supposed to be, but its a different case since the demons interfered. Qin Manyun slightly fumbled as she continued, Thats why its an emergency. We have to find the Master. He has to decide how to deal with this.

Your Master? Zhou Dacheng instantly looked strange. It looked like he had something to say but could not say it.

Qin Manyun had a bad feeling about this as she asked, What?

Did something happen to her Sect Master?

Zhou Dacheng stuttered, Sect Master, he Im afraid he doesnt have the energy to deal with this for now

Qin Manyun was shocked. She worriedly asked, Did something happen to Master? Where is he?

Zhou Dacheng said in a conflicted tone, At the temple.

Qin Manyun immediately flew to the temple of the Linxian Palace.

Yao Mengji was there, along with the three elders of the Linxian Palace.

However, Yao Mengji was in a terrible condition. He looked dirty and pale with sunken eyes. He seemed to have become slimmer. He went from a cool old man to a weak old man in merely a few days.

Qin Manyun jumped. She teared up and said in a pitiful tone, Master, youre old Were you attacked by some powerful demon? How inhumane of them!

Yao Mengji did not look happy. He glanced at Qin Manyun and said in a hoarse voice, Manyun, you know its not easy being this old, stop insulting my reputation.

Then, Master

I exhausted myself for the future of the Linxian Palace.

Yao Mengji sounded miserable and stubborn. He continued, Ive been spitting out blood for the last few days trying to summon the Linxian Palace Immortal. But the Immortal wont show up, so I kept spitting blood until Im now like this.

Qin Manyun was instantly speechless. She said, Master, you dont have to do this. Maybe the Immortals busy. Summon him some other time.

My student, times have changed. Once the bridge to immortality is reconnected, well be in the new era of battling with Immortal ancestors soon. The two Gu Siblings and their grandfather of the Azure Ville will be our strong competitor! Itll be too late if we dont summon our ancestors soon!

Yao Mengji said, Ive had enough rest. Give me an energy pill. I can spit out blood one more time!
