Chapter 494: Chapter 253: The Ill Will of the Three Life Gates—Do You Look Down on Me, Du Mouren?

However, in Wen Jiu’s view, the reason might not be as simple as Feng Jue believes. After all, Feng Jue is not Pei Wuxing’s most outstanding disciple. If anyone were to bring disgrace to Pei Wuxing, it should be Daoist Sheng Wei.

As for the true purpose, Wen Jiu did not get a clear answer when he used the Corpse Fate Technique to calculate.

Because people’s hearts are difficult to predict.

They can change at any time.

The Corpse Fate Technique can only glimpse some hints of fate; no matter how much one spies or analyzes, the truth remains elusive.

But what can be determined is that the Sect Leader of the Yin Kui Sect indeed has the intention to use this matter to his advantage.

Collecting his thoughts, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to perform a Blood Corpse Escape directly leaving Lengxi Mountain, disguising himself as Master Du to wait for Pei Wuxing outside the Market of the Little Demon Realm.

Half an hour later, Pei Wuxing arrived. Wen Jiu immediately revealed some aura for Pei Wuxing to sense. Pei Wuxing, who had been wondering when Master Du would arrive, felt the aura, his expression tightening, and he felt joy but also surprise.

He came all the way, flying at full speed, without encountering any Golden Core cultivators from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks blocking him. Yet, Master Du had arrived ahead of him. This speed and concealment ability set him apart within the West Mountain Floating Domain. Moreover, if not for the opponent deliberately revealing their aura, he wouldn’t have noticed anything at all.

"Such existence, if an enemy, would make one restless and sleepless," Pei Wuxing silently thought, flashing down to the street-side tea stall, drawing numerous cultivators in the Market who were both surprised and delighted hurriedly to pay their respects.

They hear about the legends and deeds of Master Pei regularly in the Market, all eagerly admiring him as the number one in the Heterodox Dao within the Divine Fall Mountain Range. Being able to suddenly see him today, how could they not be wildly ecstatic.

Observing the tea guests paying respects to Master Pei, even a fool would realize that this visitor is likely a Golden Core cultivator as well.

"Surely this is Master Du."

"Just entering Wind and Cloud Immortal City already drew visits from three Golden Core Zhenren of the Three Life Gates. How powerful must this person be?"

The tea stall owner, an elderly Evil Cultivator with grizzled hair, was too excited to speak. His Spirit Tea Stall had just entertained a Golden Core Zhenren!

While everyone whispered and speculated, Pei Wuxing raised a hand in greeting, "Master Du, your escape technique is indeed remarkable."

"Not worth mentioning." East Spring Undying Bone transmitted a reply, immediately rising into the air toward Little Demon Realm.

Pei Wuxing hastened to follow, unable to help but exclaim, "If Fellow Daoist’s escape technique is not worth mentioning, then perhaps the secret escape techniques of our Wind and Cloud Immortal City and the Three Life Gates are all trash."

Wen Jiu smiled without responding.

If you knew I’ve always been inside the Little Demon Realm, you surely wouldn’t say that.

But such matters, unless reaching above the Golden Core level, are not something he could disclose to Pei Wuxing.

Upon entering Little Demon Realm, Daoist Wei, Elder Qiu, and other cultivators hurried to greet them, finding peace as if seeing their anchor. Serving three Golden Core cultivators from the Three Life Gates on this day truly kept them on tenterhooks. Golden Core Zhenren are inherently intimidating, and three unscrupulous Golden Core visitors make them even more uneasy.

"Greetings, Master Du."

Daoist Wei quickly performed the customary salute to East Spring Undying Bone, followed closely by Feng Jue, Heihe, and others, followed by Foundation Establishment Honored Guest Elders from Little Demon Realm, including Chen Li and his wife.

After all, a Golden Core presence, especially as the Honorary City Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, motivates everyone to set aside their duties and converge to be seen. They believe Master Du just entered Wind and Cloud Immortal City, likely needing aides.

To show one’s face increases the chances of being chosen for tasks. Serving a Golden Core cultivator of no subordinates, especially when done skillfully, could mean leaps and bounds in advancement.

Pei Wuxing took note of everything, indifferent, and his gaze turned toward Hidden Pavilion and the direction of Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. The three from Mo Palace were currently at the top level of Hidden Pavilion, near the entrance of Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven.

Even though he already knew about this and acknowledged Daoist Wei wouldn’t dare hinder the three guests with a Tier Three Array, he remained greatly displeased. Admittedly, Little Demon Realm had Qingchi Ancient Garden, a top scenery spot for hosting esteemed guests, yet the trio preferred to dwell close to the entrance of Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven at Hidden Pavilion; their intent was overly blatant.

"Fellow Daoist Du."

Pei Wuxing called out, immediately transforming into a Startled Swan heading toward Hidden Pavilion.

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to follow, landing beside Hidden Pavilion, where numerous cultivators from the Three Life Gates encircled Hidden Pavilion as if it were crucial to Little Demon Realm.

A Late Stage Foundation Establishment middle-aged cultivator with a green face, a Giant Python wrapped around his waist, led a courteous salute, "Junior Zuo Xin Kui pays respects to Master Pei, Master Du. My teacher and the others have been awaiting the two Zhenren upstairs for a long time, please!"

Pei Wuxing’s face darkened, "This Hidden Pavilion seems like it’s become your home, completely surrounded by your people both inside and out."

Upon these words, the cultivators from the Three Life Gates showed no panic. Zuo Xin Kui maintained respectful cheer, "Master Pei is jesting. It was because my teacher and the others do not wish to be disturbed by outsiders that we were made to do this. Indeed, a master’s orders are hard to defy."

"Not wishing to be disturbed, yet I refuse to be!" Pei Wuxing spoke coldly, harboring immediate thoughts of killing Zuo Xin Kui. However, he recognized the boldness of Zuo Xin Kui lying in the backing of the Three Life Gates. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Given how his realm breakthrough injury had not yet fully healed, he wasn’t a match for the three’s combined force, so he could only swallow his anger.

Zuo Xin Kui smiled silently, maintaining his respectful attitude, leading the way, "Two Zhenren, please go upstairs!"
