Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 799: Dai Bufan: Didn’t You All Say You Went to the East Sea Just to Have Fun?

Chapter 799: Dai Bufan: Didn’t You All Say You Went to the East Sea Just to Have Fun?

On a deserted island, four figures formed a circle, each sitting on a throne.

These four figures possessed terrifying strength, their average power verging infinitely close to that of an immortal.

Yun Zhi listened quietly to the accounts of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, Ao Ling, and Lu Yang, then calmly summarized. “In other words, the Four Ancient Immortals originally intended to resurrect the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, but through some twist of fate, they somehow ended up creating a ‘Senior Immortal Fairy’ who possessed the Silent Annihilation Dao Fruit? And this person is highly likely the very immortal who deliberately concealed information about the Ember Legacy Dynasty?”

A strange expression crossed Yun Zhi’s face. Little Junior Brother had promised earnestly back then that he would absolutely not involve himself in matters of the Ember Legacy Dynasty.

Only a month has passed. How has he even managed to find the immortal who hid information about the Ember Legacy Dynasty?

“Lass Yun, this really can’t be blamed on me. The fog suddenly enveloped us. This immortal had no idea that the Dragon-Patterned Bracelet we stumbled upon was the key to opening the Dragon Pearl. I just saw that it belonged to Xiao Ling and asked the Second-in-Command to pick it up.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy spoke up for Lu Yang in the name of justice. She didn’t mention a word about her and Lu Yang exploring the remnant immortal background a second time at night.

Yun Zhi showed no surprise at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s answer. “Who taught you to say that?”

“Second-in-Command.”

Yun Zhi shot a frosty glance at Lu Yang but said nothing.

Lu Yang felt that he could no longer collude with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy on alibis. It’s far too easy for her to give me away.

Ao Ling had been sitting all this time quietly. She glanced at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy on her left, then at Yun Zhi on her right, and let out a puzzled sound. “Hmm? Strange. Why do I feel like the two of you are somewhat alike?”

Lu Yang felt that Ao Ling’s eyesight might be failing. Although the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Big Senior Sister are peerless beauties in their own right, one is rather dim-witted, while the other is brilliantly clever. Just what similarity could you see?

“It’s not about looks. Aiya, I can’t put a finger on it. Anyway, I just have this feeling you two are somewhat alike.” Ao Ling didn’t know how to explain it either.

Yun Zhi said calmly, “Perhaps you are mistaken, Senior Ao Ling. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy and I share no similarities.”

“Is that so?” Ao Ling couldn’t help but feel her intuition was correct.

“You’re just mistaken.”

“Alright then.”

The four of them returned to discussing the main topic.

“Judging by Hui Doudou’s methods, anyone aware of her existence becomes her target for elimination,” Lu Yang mused.

“Wait, wait! Why are you calling her Hui Doudou?!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was displeased with Lu Yang’s naming choice.

Yun Zhi also felt that the name lacked a sense of intimidation. It doesn’t sound like a powerful being’s name at all.

“Then what should we call her? Silent Annihilation Immortal?” Lu Yang felt troubled. We need a codename for discussion.

“No way, no way! How could you give her such an imposing name?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy objected again. This honorific title of “Silent Annihilation Immortal” overshadows my own honorific title.

Lu Yang turned to Ao Ling. “Senior, did Hui Doudou have a name during the Ember Legacy Dynasty?”

Ao Ling replied seriously, “In the Ember Legacy Dynasty, she was the ruler of the Heavenly Court and had no name. But from a functional standpoint, since her existence was for the purpose of resurrecting Everlasting-jiejie, calling her ‘Huang Doudou’ would also be acceptable.”

“Then let’s just call her Hui Doudou then.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy hurriedly concluded the matter.

Yun Zhi appeared pensive. “That is to say that I’ve also become one of her targets for elimination.”

Lu Yang analyzed it carefully. It seems all four of us here are in danger... Wait, that isn’t right. Big Senior Sister could defeat Hui Doudou, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could resurrect, and Senior Ao Ling has the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet as defense—doesn’t that mean I’m in the most danger?!

Lu Yang prayed that Hui Doudou’s temperament was like the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s, preferring to challenge the strong. Please don’t be like me and only like to fight those who are weaker than myself.

“Senior Ao Ling, if you trust me, you could hand the Dragon-Patterned Bracelet to me. I know someone who can replenish its energy.”

“Here.” Ao Ling naturally trusted Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi stowed the bracelet away properly.

“Speaking of which, my husband never told me that you are from the Jiao-Folk Tribe, Everlasting-jiejie.” Ao Ling smiled as she watched the half-fish, half-human Everlasting Immortal Fairy lounging on the throne.

Since the start of their East Sea journey, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had maintained her mermaid form.

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, why don’t you just change back? While you’re at it, please also discharge the seawater from my mind.

Originally, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord could have directly led everyone back to the Dao-Seeking Sect. However, considering that Lu Yang and the others only had records of leaving Great Xia but none of returning, he figured it would be hard to explain, so he instead set them down to let them register.

Yun Zhi and the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had been teleported back through the Space Incipient Dao Fruit, leaving no exit records, so they naturally didn’t need to go through entry procedures.

As for Ao Ling, her special identity made it inconvenient for her to appear in public.

After Lu Yang and the other four completed the procedures, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord crossed the border and opened a spatial channel. On the other end lay the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Yun Zhi instructed, “Quite a few events transpired in the East Sea. Junior Brother Dai is in charge of intelligence; he likely isn’t aware of the affairs in the East Sea yet. Little Junior Brother, since the five of you experienced them firsthand, do go and inform Junior Brother Dai.”

“Alright!”

Yun Zhi invited Ao Ling to have a seat at Heaven’s Gate Peak, while Lu Yang and the others excitedly headed straight for the Great Mission Hall.

~~~

As the five frequented the Great Mission Hall, they easily found Dai Bufan’s room.

“Senior Brother Dai, are you in?” Lu Yang knocked on the door lightly.

“Come in.”

Seeing all five of them enter, Dai Bufan smiled. “Didn’t you guys follow the old horse to the East Sea to have fun? Back so soon? Did the Vast Sea Daoist Lord bring you back?” He had heard that Lu Yang was kidnapped by a Dragon Pearl and that the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had gone to the East Sea to find him.

Lu Yang nodded. It was indeed the Vast Sea Daoist Lord who had brought them back.

Noticing Lu Yang’s hesitant behavior, Dai Bufan teased, “Could it be you encountered something in the East Sea and want to tell me about it?”

“Yes.” Lu Yang was deliberating over his choice of words, trying his best to ensure Dai Bufan could accept the information smoothly.

Based on past experience, although Senior Brother Dai’s cultivation is high, his Dao heart can’t make it. He’s prone to being startled.

“Senior Brother Dai, here’s what happened. Originally, we went to the East Sea to have fun, and we experienced the culture and quite a few local specialties, like brawling and such. But rest assured, we were acting under the identities of Five-Elements Sect disciples at the time. We definitely didn’t tarnish the sect’s reputation.”

Lu Yang rubbed the back of his head, feeling rather embarrassed. “Later on...something unexpected happened. I accidentally awakened the Dragon Ancient Ancestor, Ao Ling. Senior Ao Ling insisted on calling me ‘senior brother,’ and even the Vast Sea Daoist Lord ended up calling me ‘senior.’

“The Three Mountains Daoist Priest of Penglai Island wanted to take over the Old Dragon Emperor’s body, but fortunately, Senior Ao Ling stopped him. Afterward, the Mountain-River Lord of Great Qian showed up. Senior Ao Ling fought both of them alone and gave them a beating.

“After that, an immortal suddenly appeared and attacked Ao Ling. The attack didn’t kill Ao Ling but instead killed the Three Mountains Daoist Priest and the Mountain-River Lord. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

“Seeing that no one could defeat this immortal, Big Senior Sister stepped in to help and engaged in a great battle with that immortal.”

Lu Yang sighed. “It’s just that we didn’t manage to capture that immortal. She was left severely injured, but we let her escape. It’s a real pity.”

After listening, Dai Bufan laughed heartily. “Junior Brother Lu, you really know how to joke. Your imagination is truly vivid.”

“Senior Brother Dai, if you don’t believe me, Senior Ao Ling is right here in our sect and having tea with Big Senior Sister. She can attest to what I’m saying.”

Dai Bufan wore a smile, but his eyes were vacant, as if his expression had frozen in that moment.

“Senior Brother Dai? Senior Brother Dai?” Lu Yang called twice but received no response. Curious, he waved his hand in front of Dai Bufan’s face.

Still no reaction.

Lu Yang gingerly poked Dai Bufan’s shoulder. The latter’s upper body swayed a couple of times before he slumped forward onto the table with a thud, giving Lu Yang a huge fright.

Lu Yang hissed. I thought I’d been subtle enough. Why does Senior Brother Dai still have such a dramatic reaction?
