Chapter 763 - 855 Mixed Element Sect Han Zijing
The sound arose, Chen Mo turned his head to see a streak of light flying from not far away.
There were four people, three women and one man.
The woman who spoke wore a long purple dress, heavily made-up, exuding a sharp, acrid aura that made her difficult to get along with.
After landing, she first sized up Zuoqiu Yiren, a glint of barely noticeable jealousy in her eyes, and said, "Fairy Zuoqiu, long time no see.
Disciple, greet Fairy Zuoqiu."
The woman instructed her disciples behind her.
"Predecessor Zuoqiu." The three of them bowed in unison to Zuoqiu Yiren.
"Oh, it’s you." Zuoqiu Yiren merely nodded slightly, ignoring her afterward.
The woman took this as Zuoqiu Yiren looking down on her, seething inside. For centuries, you’ve been this arrogant, she maintained a smile and continued, "Fairy Zuoqiu, are these the disciples you’ve taken in? Tsk tsk, all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, seems Fairy Zuoqiu’s vision hasn’t been too sharp after lazing all these years..."
The woman glanced at Chen Mo and the others, unable to discern the strength of Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu, but judging them no stronger from the prowess of the other girls.
But since they were in the Mysterious Domain, they were surely heading to the Luotian Domain for the Daoist Alliance examination, so the strength of these two might be at the Golden Core Realm.
Chen Mo frowned, indicating from her words that there was some conflict with sister Yiren.
The way she addressed "Zuoqiu Yiren" also carried a mocking tone.
Zuoqiu Yiren pursed her lips, not intending to deal with her, and said to Chen Mo, "Let’s go."
However, the woman thought Zuoqiu Yiren was hit on her weak spot, wished to take this opportunity to settle the score, and said:
"Fairy Zuoqiu, it’s not very polite to leave like this, we being old friends and all. Let’s find a place to sit and chat. For old times’ sake, during the Daoist Alliance examination, I can have my disciples look after yours."
As the woman relentlessly pursued, the crowd gathered to watch grew larger.
Upon hearing the woman’s words, the crowd immediately gasped, "Wow, this is Fairy Zuoqiu!"
"Finally meeting her in person, so beautiful!"
"..."
Amidst the gasps, all were praises for Zuoqiu Yiren’s beauty.
This only deepened the jealousy surging in the woman’s heart.
She turned back, noticing her male disciple gazing at Zuoqiu Yiren with a hint of heat in his eyes.
The woman bit her lip, looking towards Zuoqiu Yiren, "Well?"
"Have your fits come again?" Zuoqiu Yiren raised an eyebrow, glancing at her sideways.
"Zuoqiu... Yiren." Upon hearing Zuoqiu Yiren’s words, the woman’s face sank, seemingly recalling something from the past, she spat out word by word.
Yet Zuoqiu Yiren said nothing more and turned to leave.
There was nothing more to say to someone who frequently had fits.
Zuoqiu Yiren could endure, but Chen Mo could not, he halted and said, "Sister Yiren, who’s this crazy auntie? I’ve never heard you mention her."
Zuoqiu Yiren stopped mid-air.
First, the woman was stunned by Chen Mo’s address of Zuoqiu Yiren, then she felt her lungs explode upon hearing "crazy auntie" from his mouth.
It’s one thing to say I have fits, but to call me auntie, isn’t that suggesting I’m old?
"Impudent, ignorant brat, I’m speaking with your master, what gives you the right to speak up."
The woman shouted sternly, sending a powerful suppression towards Chen Mo.
"Overstepped."
Zuoqiu Yiren’s face turned cold, a surge of immense aura erupted from her body, instantly dispersing the suppression heading towards Chen Mo, and sending the woman staggering back several steps.
The crowd erupted in startled gasps.
The woman’s three disciples turned pale, witnessing their seemingly invincible master easily defeated by Zuoqiu Yiren with a wave of her hand.
After the surprise, the three rushed to the woman’s side, asking if she was alright.
The woman’s face was terribly grim, not only embarrassed in front of her disciples but also shocked that the rumor of Zuoqiu Yiren reaching the Unity Realm was true.
"You... Zuoqiu Yiren, is this how you teach your disciples? I’m his senior after all, yet you allow such disrespect." Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren protecting Chen Mo, the woman tried to reason.
"Isn’t he right? At a thousand years old, what else should he call you if not auntie? And everyone in Daoism knows about your fits, he was just speaking the truth."
Zuoqiu Yiren summoned the Big Gourd, taking several swigs toward the sky, belched, and said, "My disciples don’t need your disciples’ care, perhaps it’s more the other way around."
After saying this, Zuoqiu Yiren put the Wine Gourd away. Initially intending to rest in the city, the woman’s antics made her activate the Spatial Channel, taking Chen Mo and the others in.
As the Spatial Channel closed, the woman shouted unwillingly, "Zuoqiu Yiren, you just wait, I will make sure your disciples fail the Daoist Alliance examination."
...
Inside the Spatial Channel.
Zuoqiu Yiren began scolding Chen Mo: "Who taught you to speak like that, after all, she’s still your elder, now she’s sure to bear a grudge against you."
Chen Mo scratched his head, whispered, "I just couldn’t stand her being rude to you, Sister Yiren."
"So you were standing up for me." Zuoqiu Yiren paused, then looked into Chen Mo’s eyes and said.
Chen Mo nodded.
Zuoqiu Yiren felt warmth in her heart, a joy inexplicable in words, but kept a stern face and said, "Still, you can’t speak like that; in a certain sense, she’s your martial aunt."
"Martial aunt?" This not only made Chen Mo but also Nangong Xue and others widen their eyes.
Zuoqiu Yiren nodded, "She’s called Han Zijing, when I became a disciple of the Daoist Alliance, she was my senior sister, we shared the same master, now she’s an Elder of the Mixed Element Sect."
"Han Zijing, senior sister..." Chen Mo’s pupils narrowed, no wonder sister Yiren didn’t argue with her.
"Sister Yiren, do you and she have some conflict, her tone towards you seemed displeased." Chen Mo asked.
"The Merak Sword, originally called the Purple Sun Sword, was given to me by our master. She joined earlier, so when master gave the Purple Sun Sword to me and not her, she thought master was partial and held a grudge against me..."
Speaking of times past, Zuoqiu Yiren pulled out the Wine Gourd again, took several long gulps, and continued, "She liked senior brother. Back then, when we ventured into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, we inadvertently strayed into a Killing Array. Senior brother and I were forced to separate from her, senior brother didn’t make it through the Killing Array, but I came out. When she saw me return alive while senior brother perished in the array, she believed I was responsible for his death..."
