774 14.50 Last Violet Star – Rumors

After the dinner banquet, Yun Xiajie and Hei Anjing were called into the Main Peak’s courtyard. There the Supreme Master and Supreme elder were waiting for them with a new set of tea cups for the group to enjoy. Yun Xiajie serves tea to the four of them.

Yun Huajie spoke, “We’ve heard about the Devil Race from your brother. Now we want to ask you two what you plan to do next?”

“I plan to go on a journey with Jing’er and help him with his mission,” answered Yun Xiajie.

Yun Xiayu asked, “Mission? A mission from the Upper Realm? Are you sure you can get involved with it, Jieye?”

“It’s alright, uncle. My mission is all about the Devil Race. Those guys cannot be left alone in the world of mortals. But the Heavenly Domain received news about some unclear plans of the Devil Race. They wanted to invade your world and take over it. That’s why I was sent here after asking them to let me descend. They gave me this mission but the people from there didn’t tell me to do it all on my own. If this gets worse I can ask for Reinforcement. But I still need to look around to investigate. Moreover, I need to find someone,” explained Hei Anjing.

Yun Xiayu asked, “Who is that someone?”

“My uncle. He should also be here in the mortal realm,” answered Hei Anjing.

Yun Huajie asked, “Uncle? Someone from the Upper Realm?”

“Yes. He is supposed to protect the mortal realm but suddenly he lost connection with us. I was told to try finding him in the Mortal Realm during my mission,” said Hei Anjing.

.....

Yun Xiajie asked, “Do you know where he might be is now?”

“No. I don’t even know what name he uses in the mortal realm. Hm, I actually forgot to ask about it,” said Hei Anjing. “But it’s okay as long as I see him I should know it is him.”

“Moreover, I need to go see that Devil I caught. It shouldn’t be left alone or more humans would die.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll go with you to see it. Do you want to leave tomorrow?” asked Yun Xiajie.

Hei Anjing shook his head and said, “I’m not in a hurry. No one should be able to melt the ice prison I’ve made. We should take a rest for a few days or a month. Let the Royal family spend those limited time thinking. Because regardless of their desires I will complete my duties.”

“I will listen to you, Jing’er,” said Yun Xiajie as he gently caressed his beloved’s cheek. He didn’t even notice the rare soft smile on his supposed-to-be usual ascetic face.

The two elders ate this dog food happily. After all, such a scene of tranquility hasn’t been seen ever since Bai Wuan died years ago. Especially Yun Xiajie who drowned himself to work, to pass his time waiting. Now that the one he had always been waiting for had finally returned, Chun Hongyun-Jun’s frozen heart had started to melt. All his gentleness and feelings were long for one person. This person is the most important one in his life. His other half, Jing’er.

Old Sect Master Yun said, “Then I will send a message to Hua’er saying to let the Royal Family know your say on this matter.”

“I will leave it to Father Yun,” said Hei Anjing.

Yun Xiayu spoke, “You and Jieye should continue your rest for today. As for what you want to do next then it can be decided by you both.”

“Okay, Uncle Yun. I can help with A’Xia’s duties and teach the disciples when he is busy. But I don’t know what to teach... Should I teach them Pill Refinement or Medical Skills?” asked Hei Anjing.

Yun Xiajie said, “If you want you can teach but there is no need to tire yourself. Your skills on those two skills are top-notched it would extremely helpful for those little ones if you do teach them some basics.”

“Then I will teach them both. They should be able to concoct simple potions and antidotes, especially for corpse poison and such,” said Hei Anjing.

Yun Xiajie and Yua Huajie were especially supportive of this. After all, Hei Anjing’s knowledge of medicine and pill refinement is from the Upper Realm. A piece of knowledge is not even known in their realm.

Yun Huajie said, “If it is like this then it is better if the other disciples from the other sects are also allowed to join. This keeps the others saying we had to keep An’er’s knowledge for ourselves.”

“But if we do this then it would take a while to finish the preparation. Wuan, are you willing to teach the children for a whole month or so? What about your journey and the devil race?” asked Yue Xiayu.

Hei Anjing said, “The only urgent one is that the devil was brought to the capital. As for finding my uncle, that would be based on luck. The Devil Race wouldn’t suddenly come over in this realm especially after I plan to remake the barrier around the Human world.”

“When are you going to remake the barrier?” asked Yun Xiajie.

Hei Anjing replied, “Tomorrow. I will ask Yang and Yue to do it for me. They should be able to do it for me instead.”

“Tomorrow, I am supposed to take the reports of the disciples about their night hunt. Do you want to join me, Jing’er?” asked Yun Xiajie.

Hei Anjing said, “Okay!”

“Since it’s like this, we will postpone Wuan’s teaching class until the other sects are informed. We will also send a letter to Huaye. Until then you two can rest in the sect, especially Wuan’er you’ve just woken up recently, take a few more days to rest,” said Yun Xiayu.

Yun Huajie said, “Okay. It’s too late now. Go ahead and sleep early. Good night, you two!”

“Then we shall take our leave first, Father, Uncle,” said Yun Xiajie.

Hei Anjing said, “Please have a pleasant evening, Father Yun, and Uncle Yun.”

The couple left the main peak to return to Chun Hongyun-Jun’s peak. As soon as they left the other elders hiding all came out. They’ve all heard the plan about Hei Anjing’s Lessons in Medicine and Pill Refinement.

“Old Master, Grand Elder, you must allow us old men to join Wuan’er’s lesson as well. Everybody knows that his skills in medicine and pill creation are at a divine level!”

“That’s right! As the peak master of Emerald Cloud Peak, we specialize in Pill Alchemy. I beg the Old Master and Grand Elder to pick me as the supervising elder during the lessons on Pill Refinement.”

“If it’s like this then the Aquamarine Cloud Peak wants to supervise the Medical Lesson as well. It is our forte.”

“So unfair! We want to listen in too.”

“So what if you are experts in medicine and pill alchemy!? You already have the knowledge. Let the others learn too!”

“No way! What basic knowledge are you talking about? Just common knowledge found in our realm, what Lord Hei has is knowledge from the Upper Realm. The difference between that and this is like heaven and earth!”

“But surely lots of disciples would want to join Lord Hei’s lesson. Yun Fan and the other disciples who were saved by him had already told everyone how magical and powerful Lord Hei is. I think most disciples would join. If the other sect disciples join then... I think the space in the Crimson Cloud Peak (Yun Xiajie’s Peak) wouldn’t be enough for them.”

Yun Xiayu bellowed, “Enough! You guys are too loud. It’s already in the middle of the night!”

“Don’t worry, Grand Elder. We’ve placed a Noise Canceling barrier around this room.”

“You guys are really... Sigh~” said Yun Xiayu.

Old Sect Master Yun Huajie laughs at his younger brother’s reaction. It’s been a while since he acted this way. When Bai Wuan first stayed in their sect, the elders would always act like this and Yun Xiayu would have to hold their reins. The benefits of working and letting Hei Anjing do what he wanted were always paired with advantages no one wanted to lose such an opportunity.

Yun Huajie said, “Okay, enough. Don’t fight anymore. Of course, we know that lots of disciples would want to join Wuan’er’s lessons. But they can’t join all, we will limit it to the eldest and most talented disciples only. Each peak would have 5 slots. Choose among yourself which of your disciples should join. After that those who learned things during the lesson would teach the other disciples what they’ve learned in the other disciples at each peak. This plan is better right?”

“After all, there is no way Ye’er would allow his wife to get tired of teaching. He would allow him to teach a few hours a day at most. If you got complaints then you would have to speak to Ye’er yourself.”

When the Old Sect Master mentioned his youngest son, most elders turned quiet as if they were restrained. Chun Hongyun-Jun isn’t an ordinary title. It is a proof of strength in their Sect. Among the cultivators in the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect, those who were given a clouded title show their authority and strength in the Sect. Currently, only Yun Huaxia and Yun Xiajie have it.

Seeing the elders turning meek after mentioning Chun Hongyun-Jun’s name, the Supreme Elder couldn’t help but snort. These elders might not be afraid of them as they were all in the same generation and their strengths were mostly equal. But Chun Hongyun-Jun is different, his cultivation is top class and his accumulated merits for the sect are also top-notch not only that he is also currently the strongest cultivator after Hei Anjing.

Plus his ascetic face and the stern attitude most of the people in the sect and in the cultivation world are afraid of him. Talking to him while looking at his cold face almost made the others unable to say what they wanted to.

Some elders mumbled, “How can we forget that Lord Hei’s Dao Companion is that deadpan-faced Chun Hongyun-Jun? I guess 5 disciples are better than none.”

“Since it is like this we should at most allow ten disciples from each sect outside and only the disciples of the Great Sects and Clan can join,” said Old Sect Master Yun.

Yun Xiayu said, “Ten is too much. 5 would be better. Only the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect would be allowed to bring 15 disciples at most. They are still Wuan’s family after all.”

“Hum~ you are right. 15 for the Bai Lengshui Sect and 5 for the other great sect including the royal family. Just tell the letter that this is a requirement decided by Chun Hongyun-Jun himself and they wouldn’t dare to speak a complaint about it,” said Yun Huajie.

Yun Xiayu said, “I can prepare the letter of invitation for the royal clan and the other two great sects but brother should write the one for the Bai Clan. You can also inform them about the changes in Wuan’s situation.”

“I guess I should write it after all they are our in-laws...” said Yun Huajie.

—

Different from the carefree and joyous event in the Lan Zhuayun Sect, the other sects who were informed about the return of Bai Wuan and the existence of the Devil Race were shocked. Especially when the Devil who took over the vessel of the supposed to be the dead fifth prince of the Royal Family was there as proof, the other sect couldn’t be helped but be astonished.

The whole cultivation world was in chaos from these two pieces of news alone but only the Lan Zhuayun Sect seems to be unaffected by the rumors of Bai Wuan’s identity as an immortal who descended from the Upper Realm.

Rumors started to spread in the whole cultivation world and no one knew which was true or not.

“Have you heard? They say that another devil appeared in the mortal realm.”

“I know right? What is happening in our world? How could things become like this?”

“Forget about the devil thing. I heard that an evil creature was captured already and its body was in the Imperial Palace of the Capital city!?”

“How scary~ who caught the devil? Is it Chun Hongyun-Jun!?”

“No. I heard it was immortal. You’ve heard about the rumors of a God descending in our realm a few days ago? I heard that news was real!?”

“An immortal? Is he the one who caught the devil?”

“Yes. They say it was him. But what is more surprising is that Perfected One’s identity. They say everyone has heard about him!”

“Really? What do you guys mean by that?”

“Don’t you remember the Ice Demonic Fairy more than ten years ago? The one who saved our realm and died under the blade of Chun Hongyun-Jun.”

“Yes, I know about him. Isn’t he the oldest disciple of Old Sect Master Bai and his adopted son as well? The current Sect Master of the Bai Lengshui Sect is his younger brother.”

“But didn’t that Lord die already... Why are you mentioning him again?”

“That’s why I’m mentioning him. The identity of the Immortal who descended in our realm a few days ago is him. Mo Bing Jingling-Jun (Demonic Ice Fairy) Wuan. He is back!”

The rumors continue to spread and Hei Anjing’s identity was pulled out from his past life. Rumors of him being immortal had steadily spread in the whole mortal realm with him now. Even his relationship with Chun Hongyun-Jun wasn’t spared.
