The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 959: Familiar Face, Nemesis

Chapter 959: Familiar Face, Nemesis

Su Jingzhen asked, "Senior Brother Shang, according to the information you've gathered, how many members of the Elf Tribe are there in this Elf Forest?"

From the first seemingly simple question, Su Jingzhen was already quite impressed with Shangguan Tiantong.

The route Shangguan Tiantong had chosen was indeed extremely niche.

If Su Jingzhen were to set up a faction, Shangguan Tiantong would probably be the most outstanding information gatherer.

Upon hearing this, Shang Tian Tong slightly raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment before replying, "As I mentioned before, the Elf Tribe living in the Elf Forest is the Ancient Elf Tribe, which means that they flourished in the ancient times.

In the present world, it's not very suitable for them. Although the Elf Tribe's abilities are quite impressive, according to the information I've gathered, their numbers seem to be decreasing every year.

Even with the Divine Shepherd Sect's protection, their population is likely less than a thousand by now."

Su Jingzhen's eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

This forest seemed boundless, and finding the exact location of the Elf Tribe might be as difficult as finding a needle in the ocean.

As the Divine Dan Sect's members were still discussing outside the forest, a flash of light quickly approached them from the distance.

A delicate sword-shaped spirit ship appeared, and over a hundred people stepped out.

Each of these people had a relatively strong aura, and they were all young people, clearly from a first-class faction.

They were dressed in white robes with a long sword on their backs, exuding an extremely sharp and intimidating aura.

"Junior Brother Su, these people are from the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect of the Lingyun Divine Realm," Lin Xiu said, his tone somewhat solemn. "Although they're not a superpower, they're still a first-rate faction, and their attack power is extremely strong, making them a force to be reckoned with."

Su Jingzhen's expression turned slightly surprised.

The Soaring Clouds Sword Sect was clearly inferior to the Divine Dan Sect, but Lin Xiu's demeanor suggested a hint of fear.

Noticing Su Jingzhen's puzzled look, Lin Xiu forced a laugh.

"We have some history with the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, Junior Brother Su.

As you know, most of our Divine Dan Sect disciples focus on alchemy, and we're not particularly skilled in combat.

Furthermore, the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect's disciples are all sword cultivators with powerful attack abilities.

During our previous exploration of the Heavenly Pivot Ruins, we suffered a minor setback at their hands."

Su Jingzhen nodded in understanding.

It seemed that they were old enemies, which explained Lin Xiu's serious expression.

However, the name "Soaring Clouds Sword Sect" sounded familiar to Su Jingzhen.

Before he could react, a tall figure emerged from the opposing group, walking briskly toward him with an excited expression.

"Daoist Su, we meet again!"

Su Jingzhen took a closer look and realized that it was Jian Ling with whom he had allied with during the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.

He suddenly recalled that Ning Yao had mentioned that Jian Ling had ultimately joined the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, rather than a superpower.

It turned out that the first familiar face Su Jingzhen encountered in the Divine Shepherd Realm was indeed Jian Ling.

A smile spread across Su Jingzhen's face, and he felt a sense of delight.

During the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, working with Jian Ling had been a pleasant experience, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land was a wonderful coincidence.

However, knowing that the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Dan Sect had a grudge in the past made the situation somewhat awkward.

Jian Ling's initiative to greet Su Jingzhen not only surprised the members of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, but also left the disciples of the Divine Dan Sect somewhat perplexed.

Su Jingzhen took a step forward and walked towards Jian Ling with a smile.

He didn't care about the grudge between the two sects.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here in the Divine Shepherd Realm. How about it? Are you interested in working with me again like we did during the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition?"

Su Jingzhen asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

He could sense that Jian Ling had reached the Spirit Immortal realm.

After all, in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, Jian Ling was already one of the strongest, on par with Xuan Jin, and had already reached the level of Great Perfection.

With the amount of Divine Source she obtained during the competition, it would be surprising if she hadn't broken through to the Spirit Immortal realm by now.

Jian Ling's face lit up with a beautiful smile as she replied, "I'd like to, but I'm aware that the two factions we belong to have a significant grudge, especially among the younger generation."

Her expression turned curious, and she asked, "Honestly, how's your cultivation now? I only got a glimpse of your skills during the Alchemy Competition, but we didn't have a chance to talk properly."

During the Alchemy Convention, almost all the superpowers and first-class factions had gathered in the central square of Dan City.

Su Jingzhen had only exchanged brief greetings with Jian Ling and the others before they left without another word.

Later, when he heard about the Divine Shepherd Realm, he realized that everyone from the top factions, except for the Divine Dan Sect, had already entered the realm ahead of time.

Su Jingzhen chuckled and said, "My cultivation is far inferior to yours, only at the Body Venerable Realm, but my combat strength is still decent."

Jian Ling nodded, having witnessed Su Jingzhen's unorthodox methods during the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.

She didn't underestimate him, even though he was only at the Body Venerable Realm.

The two of them chatted like old friends, discussing their experiences after the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, a man in green robes walked out from the group of the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect.

"Jian Ling, it's time for us to leave," he said, his tone icy and disapproving, clearly unhappy with Jian Ling's behavior.

His gaze towards Su Jingzhen was filled with hostility.

After calling out to Jian Ling, the man took two steps forward, his eyes locking onto Lin Xiu, whom he assumed was the leader of the Divine Dan Sect group.

A hint of disdain appeared on his lips.

"I'm glad to meet you, but I'd advise you to avoid us in the Elf Forest. If we meet again, I may have to ask you, Lin Xiu, to hand over some of your dan medicine."

As he spoke, his aura flickered, revealing that he had reached the peak of the Spirit Immortal Realm, and was likely on the verge of breaking through to the Mystic Immortal Realm.

His sharp sword energy enveloped the Divine Dan Sect group, making many of the Great Perfection Realm disciples feel a chill run down their spines. This was a clear demonstration of power.

Su Jingzhen's eyebrows furrowed as he realized that Lin Xiu was probably no match for this man.

However, given that the opponent was from the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, known for their attack power, and was a late-stage Spirit Immortal, it wasn't surprising.

Su Jingzhen's expression turned serious, and he glanced at Jian Ling.

"Is this guy interested in you?"
