The Way of The Dao

"Saintess Xue, you shouldn't give away the high-level sacred medicines given to you by the Sect! It will be spent in vain if used on a cripple!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice that seemed to be concerned but added a trace of reluctance and even disdain attracted the attention of each of the women.

Long Yuyin's gaze turned cold, Zhen Bingluo frowned with an annoyed feeling and Xi Fei's cold aura became much more terrifying. Both Zhao Yu and Gu Yan released killing glances!

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise as he focused his attention on the woman beside Xue Ning. She was the one who had said these words.

Xue Ning blinked in astonishment before her expression turned somewhat cold and she said seriously, "Senior Martial Sister, respect my big brother! Besides, I haven't agreed to be the Saintess of the Sect!"

Cai Wuya frowned as he saw Xue Ning's rejection. Although she felt the terrified gazes falling on her, she still didn't back down and earnestly looked at Xue Ning wanting to remind her of her status.

"Little Ning, she is..." Ling Tian asked as he shifted his gaze to Xue Ning, he was slightly curious about the woman beside her as he had never seen her before. She had a good figure and a beautiful face with no signs of aging, being a woman with a hot and very attractive figure being at her most glorious.

However, somehow Xue Ning's young, cold and pure beauty stood out more than her.

Xue Ning cast a cold glance at Cai Wuya before smiling guiltily at Ling Tian, "She is the first disciple of Martial Aunt Fan, so she is a senior martial sister in terms of seniority."

"Fan Jiuyang?" Ling Tian frowned as the distant image of a certain woman came to his mind.

"I ask you for more respect when saying my Master's name, she is a powerhouse of the Great Ascension state!" Cai Wuya looked proudly and arrogantly at Ling Tian when she heard him speak.

"Your Master is Fan Jiuyang? The Second Elder of your Sect?" Ling Tian asked again without being bothered by Cai Wuya's proud look. He remembered who this person was.

"Now she's First Elder!" Cai Wuya's proud look became brighter.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrow slightly before nodding and then looking with a small smile at Xue Ning and playfully asking, "So little Ning is now the Saintess of your Sect?"

If Ling Tian wasn't mistaken, Xue Ning's cultivation base had reached the peak of the Great Ascension realm! The pinnacle of the mortal plane!

Cai Wuya frowned as he saw that Ling Tian's expression didn't change at all when she corrected her Master's identity.

"Don't listen to her, big brother! I haven't agreed to be the Saintess!" However, Xue Ning quickly shook her head, preventing Ling Tian from thinking that it was real. Anxious feeling filled her heart.

"Junior Sister, the position of the Saintess of the Sect has been decided by all the Elders and the Sect Master. They are even willing to pass on to you the powerful immortal technique of the sect inherited from its founding!"

Cai Wuya's gaze shone with excitement and pride, even a hint of envy crossed her pupils. The sect's immortal technique was said to be so powerful that it could even easily kill Great Ascension realm powerhouses like chickens and dogs. But even so, she still emotionally recalled Xue Ning.

"I haven't accepted that position! I've already said that I don't want to be the Saintess!" Xue Ning still shook her head. Her gaze fell on Ling Tian and she continued to deny everything Cai Wuya said.

"Your Master is forcing you?" Ling Tian frowned deeply finally. Although he had left Xue Ning in that sect in the past, he wouldn't close an eye if he found out that they were forcing her to do things she didn't want to do.

"My Master died when she couldn't survive the heavenly tribulation..."

Suddenly, Xue Ning's gaze turned grim. Her Master was the second dearest person in her heart, who protected her like a daughter and taught her many things.

"Did she pass away?" Ling Tian couldn't help but be a little shocked. Xue Ning's Master was a female cultivator at the peak of the Separation and Reunion realm, even becoming as strong as an expert at the Early Stage of the Great Ascension realm. At that time, Ling Tian helped that sect when they were facing a crisis and met that woman who was the Sect Master. As he had found a way to leave that world, he could not take Xue Ning with him because of the impending dangers, so he left her in that sect, with the Sect Leader becoming her own Master.

Although that cultivator was a woman in her 40+ years, she was still a kind woman who returned favors and defended the weak to some extent.

"And now the other Sect Elders and Sect Master are forcing you to be the Saintess?" Ling Tian asked solemnly.

"Uhm. But they have only insisted, not forced me so far. They even allowed me to keep the main peak where I previously resided with my Master." Xue Ning nodded faintly and then added, "That's why when I mentioned to them that I wanted to find my big brother and had found traces of you they gave me all these medicinal treasures and many defensive artifacts so that I would be safe!"

Xue Ning waved her hand and took out some top-tier defensive artifacts from her storage ring, as well as other powerful weapons that were made of high quality.

Everyone sucked in some cold breath at the sight of many powerful defensive and offensive treasures.

Ling Tian looked at all the first-tier artifacts and then looked at Xue Ning with a small smile, "You didn't tell them that you were going to leave that world, did you?"

Xue Ning's cheeks blushed and a bit of shyness covered her, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I-I only told them that I had news about you and that I had finally discovered your whereabouts, but that it was far away and might take a long time..."

"And they asked you to have your senior martial sister go with you too right?"

"Uhm..."

Xue Ning's face became more delighted as her blushed a little more, responding in a similar manner as Ling Tian does.

Xue Ning knew that Ling Tian was not in her world and she had to travel in the void dimension to find him, that was why she cultivated crazily and arduously to be strong enough to survive the travel. She also knew about the teleportation formation Ling Tian used before leaving her in that sect and she studied it and made it work after a long time. Knowing that the Sect would refuse to let her go once they knew that she would have to travel to another cultivation world, Xue Ning lied to them saying that Ling Tian was in a faraway place, another faraway territory, so without any other choice she had to accept the Sect's condition of being accompanied by the first elder's first disciple; her senior martial sister Cai Wuya, whom she convinced after a long time to use the teleportation formation when the latter found out that they would leave their world.

Cai Wuya looked at Xue Ning's charming expression and anxiously shook her heart. Ever since she had known her, Xue Ning had always maintained an indifferent and cold expression, she had never seen her smile or blush!

"Mhnn~ Although I know that you have a close past relationship with my junior martial sister, I ask you to respect her identity as the future Saintess of our sect. Besides, your condition is critical and almost beyond repair, so you may not have much time left to hope for life."

Cai Wuya looked solemnly at Ling Tian despite receiving threatening glances from several women. She could see the state of destruction of Ling Tian's meridians, being no different from the trash that will inevitably die after a few years. Although she could see that despite losing his cultivation Ling Tian still maintained a certain attractive aura along with a perfectly handsome young face, she thought it must be some kind of beauty technique. Even seeing his little nascent soul playing with the two little girls she thought he must have some special artifact, but despite that Ling Tian was no different from the waste.

Finally, Yun Mengxin raised her gaze slightly, looking at her faintly and causing Cai Wuya to feel her temperature drop sharply, feeling terrifyingly cold. Yun Mengxin's gaze filled with cold indifference caused Cai Wuya to take a step back despite not sensing any aura from her.

Even Lan Yin and Qing Sha glared angrily at Cai Wuya once they understood that this woman was insulting their Master!

"But Senior Martial Sister, if we let my big brother come with us to the sect and meet the envoys from the Immortal World who are coming in a few months, we can ask them for some immortal pill to repair his meridians!"

Suddenly, Xue Ning's complexion lit up as she uttered these shocking words!
