Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

"Oh? So it's Fellow Daoist Zhong. Alright, I'll count you as the only one. Is there anyone else?"

Upon hearing this, an elderly man with white hair stood up and spoke calmly:

"Count me in too. To be honest, I've been in seclusion for so long. If I don't find something to do, my old bones will soon fall apart."

This old man was named Elder Mo. He was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and very strong. He was considered one of the top figures in the Star Palace's strength rankings.

With him joining us, the campaign against the demon race will surely be much easier.

"Count me in too. Now that my supernatural powers are just beginning to develop, it's a good opportunity to test my skills against this demon race."

As soon as he finished speaking, two more cultivators stood up and expressed their willingness to join the campaign against the demon race.

In this way, the selection of participants for this campaign against the demon race was initially determined.

"Alright, since all of you fellow Daoists are willing to participate, I will now make a decision on the selection of those who will go to Kui Xing Island to fight against the demon race."

As for the specifics of how this plan should be implemented, I will tell you after this meeting. What do you all think of this suggestion?

Old Mo nodded and replied indifferently:

"Since the Grand Elder has said so, then we shall do as you say."

...........

On Kui Xing Island, in a certain building, Zhenhai Zhenren stared at the jade book in his hand, his face suddenly turning gloomy.

"Young Palace Master, is this thing in my hand... real?" Zhenhai Zhenren emphasized the last few words.

But it's not his fault.

A level nine demon, the fact that personnel have infiltrated Jiyin Island is enough to make him go on a killing spree.

It's impossible to make him feel uneasy.

"It is true, Elder Liu."

If the elders do not believe me, I, the Palace Master, am willing to swear an oath against my own inner demons.

The Heart Demon Oath has a strong deterrent effect throughout the entire cultivation world.

Once a cultivator makes a vow, if they break it, their cultivation will not advance an inch.

Generally speaking, people who dare to make a vow against their inner demons have virtually no need to lie.

"Tsk, this is a bit tricky."

Upon hearing Ling Yuling's words, Zhenhai Zhenren's concerns vanished instantly.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Given Ling Yuling's status, she had absolutely no reason to fabricate anything.

So he's having a real headache right now.

After all, if this matter is not handled properly, it could result in the destruction of the island and the loss of life.

Therefore, this matter is very difficult to handle.

Zhenhai Zhenren glanced at the jade book in his hand again, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Could it be that they've come for Lei Peng?" Zhenhai Zhenren wondered to himself.

He knew that a level 10 demonic beast was being suppressed on Kui Xing Island.

This beast possesses formidable cultivation and its strength should not be underestimated.

Ever since this demonic beast was suppressed by the previous palace master, it has harbored a deep grudge against human cultivators.

If it is released, all the cultivators on Kui Xing Island will suffer its severe retaliation.

"Phew, luckily the young palace master was quick-witted enough to inform me in advance, otherwise this matter would definitely have... never mind."

Zhenhai Zhenren didn't want to think too much about it. He took a deep breath, slowly placed the jade book in his hand on the table, and asked:

"Young Palace Master, if this is true, then why not have me guard the island, instead of having me announce to the outside world that I'm in seclusion? What is the explanation for this?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuling recalled what Ji Qing had told her and replied truthfully:

"To be honest, Elder Liu, I have already informed my father about this matter."

I believe it won't be long before my father sends cultivators over.

As for why the elders were assigned to guard the pass...

the reason is simple.

Firstly, it's to avoid alerting the enemy; secondly, it allows the enemy to act without restraint and directly attack Kui Xing Island.

"If they dare to set a trap, once the cultivators my father sent arrive, my Star Palace will annihilate them to ashes!"

"Oh? I see."

Zhenhai Zhenren smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that this plan was indeed excellent.

"Good, you really are worthy of being the future palace master, your mind works even faster than mine."

"In that case, I will follow your advice," Zhenhai Zhenren replied with a smile, quite satisfied with Ling Yuling's arrangement.

It is important to know that the strength of a level nine demon beast should not be underestimated; one wrong step could lead to utter destruction.

Since the young master has made the arrangements, he will simply follow the young master's advice.

The annoyance on Zhenhai Zhenren's face gradually faded, and his mood brightened instantly. He poured Ling Yuling a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"Young Palace Master, please."

"Alright, thank you very much, Elder Liu."

"Haha, Young Master, you're too kind."

After exchanging some instructions, Ling Yuling left.

..........

"How is it? Will Elder Liu listen to your opinion?"

"And what about the Star Palace? Could they send some cultivators over?" Ji Qing asked hurriedly, looking at Ling Yuling in his arms.

Ji Qing is very anxious now.

If neither side makes any move, then he'll have no choice but to arrange his escape as soon as possible.

After all, level 10 and level 9 demons are not to be trifled with; these demons could kill him with a single finger.

"Brother, do you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly!"

As Ji Qing spoke, he immediately grasped Ling Yuling's fair hand, savored it carefully, and then feigned annoyance, saying:

"Ling'er, what time is it now? Why are you still calling me brother?"

You should call me "husband," understand? Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson later.

"Ah...this..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuling's face immediately turned bright red, and she said in a voice barely audible:

"I...I'm a little embarrassed."

At this point, Ling Yuling immediately regretted it and quickly changed her words:

"No... but since you've said so, I'll listen to you."

"Hmph, that's more like it."

After saying that, Ji Qing finally revealed a smug smile, seemingly impatient:

"Since Ling'er has agreed, why don't you quickly call out 'husband' to us?"

Ling Yuling hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered:

"Husband...husband." Ling Yuling's voice was very soft, but it was very clear to everyone.

At the same time, after she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple, making her exceptionally charming.

Upon seeing this, Ji Qing was utterly unable to resist and kissed him deeply.

Immediately, accompanied by a panting sound, the entire headboard began to roll, clothes flew everywhere, and a passionate lovemaking ensued.

After an unknown amount of time, an exhausted Ling Yuling lay on Ji Qing's shoulder, her face full of reproach.

"My husband is so wicked."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing chuckled foolishly, gently pinched Ling Yuling's fair waist with his large hand, and asked:

"By the way, Ling'er, what do the elders think? Did they listen to your opinion?"

"Of course I listened."

Ling Yuling rolled her eyes at Ji Qing:

"Don't they know who I am? Do you think they wouldn't listen to what I say?"

Now, judging by the time, they should have arrived by now.

"Okay, that's good." Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ling Yuling say that.

Now the Star Palace has sent cultivators over.

Then killing Feng hope should be a sure thing.
