— Heh heh, Lifeng Daojun, no need to chase!
Zhiyan Fotuo shouted to stop Lifeng Daojun, who was preparing to pursue the fleeing Bloodthirsty Old Ghost.
— Such a person is a scourge if left alive. If we encounter them today and don't eliminate them, it would be truly regrettable!
Lifeng Daojun was also receptive. Although he stopped, he still complained!
Zhiyan Fotuo chuckled and stood up.
— There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with the Bloodthirsty Old Ghost. For now, the new disciples of the Wendao Sect on this Uçan Tekne truly need protection!
With that said, Zhiyan Fotuo suddenly disappeared and reappeared, holding the unconscious Yue Feng Zhenjun. He landed directly on the Uçan Tekne, and Lifeng Daojun also arrived. His brows furrowed as soon as he stepped onto the Uçan Tekne.
— Wendao Sect, one of the three super sects of Cangxuan Continent, sends only one Nascent Soul True Monarch to recruit new disciples! This is truly trifling!
— My apologies, Lifeng Daojun. I've arrived late and made you think my Wendao Sect truly doesn't value newly recruited disciples!
As the voice faded, a middle-aged cultivator in a light blue daoist robe suddenly appeared on the Uçan Tekne. The newcomer was Zihan Daojun, the person in charge of recruiting new disciples for the Wendao Sect this time!
Lifeng Daojun glanced at Zihan Daojun.
— Hmph, how dare you speak! If it weren't for me and Master Zhiyan passing by today, your entire ship of new disciples would have been finished!
Zihan Daojun first glanced at the unconscious Yue Feng Zhenjun, took out a pill from his storage ring, and fed it to him before speaking.
— Alas, I led three teams out to recruit new disciples this time, and the other two routes also encountered ambushes. I was simply too busy!
He then looked at the group of new disciples who were curiously watching him. Seeing that they were all okay, but noticing that some disciples had eyes full of fear, and some were even disoriented, he frowned.
— Were they scared?
Zhiyan Fotuo nodded with a smile.
— They were frightened by the Evil Ghosts from the Bloodthirsty Old Ghost's Myriad Ghosts Banner. After all, they are just children!
Zihan Daojun nodded and said no more. Instead, he cupped his hands towards the two of them.
— Thank you today! It's fortunate you passed by!
Lifeng Daojun paid no mind to Zihan Daojun's thanks and instead stared at Li Yue not far away! His mind was racing, wondering how this child could have the Shen family's bloodline!
Let me explain here: Lifeng Daojun originated from the Shen family, a first-class cultivation family in the Cultivation World. Several years ago, he accidentally obtained a cultivation technique. After cultivating it, he could sense the presence of family members with the same bloodline as him.
Zihan Daojun, seeing him staring at a new disciple, asked.
— What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that disciple?
Lifeng Daojun shook his head slightly.
— Oh, nothing. I just felt that child looked a bit familiar!
Zhiyan Fotuo, standing nearby, softly chanted Buddha's name.
— I came for her as well!
Lifeng Daojun looked at Zhiyan Fotuo in surprise.
— Oh, I'm very curious, why are you looking for her?
Zhiyan Fotuo smiled slightly.
— This is my karmic connection with the child. You don't need to ask more! It won't do the child any harm anyway!
With that, he flickered and stood in front of Li Yue.
Li Yue was initially sitting and chatting with Tie Chui, Liu Ye, and others. Her legs were weak from the previous experience and she couldn't stand, so they were all sitting on the ground.
Suddenly, she saw the monk who had blocked the Bloodthirsty Old Ghost appear before her, and she was startled. However, she prepared to get up and pay her respects. But Zhiyan Fotuo grabbed her collar and lifted her off the Uçan Tekne!
Zihan Daojun was about to pursue, but Lifeng Daojun stopped him.
— That's enough. After so many years, don't you still trust Zhiyan's character? Just wait!
Zihan Daojun was about to say more when Lifeng Daojun interrupted him.
— Hurry up and arrange for your disciples!
Li Yue was taken away from the Uçan Tekne by Zhiyan Fotuo. At first, she didn't react. When she did, she became scared.
— Master, where are you taking me?
As Li Yue's question was asked, they stopped on a mountain peak. Looking around, there were mountains and peaks everywhere.
— Young friend, is your surname Li and your name Li Yue?
Li Yue was startled but quickly regained her composure.
— Master, how do you know my name?
Zhiyan Fotuo did not answer Li Yue's question but took out a jade pendant and handed it to her.
— This is your mother Li Qing's jade pendant, which contains a trace of her Ruhsal Bilinç. I am here today at her request to escort you to the sect!
Li Yue looked at the jade pendant in surprise.
— Master, do you know my mother?
Although Li Yue was asking, she already believed Zhiyan Fotuo. This was because she knew that only her adoptive mother knew about her relationship with her biological mother, but her adoptive mother was just a mortal.
— I have known your mother for several hundred years. She is someone I can trust with my back!
Li Yue took the jade pendant and nodded.
— Where is my mother now? Why doesn't she come to see me?
— Your mother is currently advancing to Peak Nascent Soul! Five years ago, before she went into seclusion, she entrusted this matter to me. Fortunately, I have been following through and have not failed your mother's trust!
— Alright, the matter is settled. I will give you another talisman. This is a Buddhist Talisman I drew, capable of blocking one strike from a cultivator in the Aşama Tanrısı stage. Oh, right, I accidentally obtained the lid of a Jade Gourd, so I'll give it to you; it seems you have an affinity with it!
Li Yue put her mother's jade pendant into her embrace, then took the talisman and a jade lid, which looked like a small lid, handed over by Zhiyan Fotuo.
Looking at the jade quality, it was the same as the Jade Gourd her mother had given her. She quickly took it out and the Jade Gourd hanging on her neck. With the lid on, it fit perfectly!
— Heh heh, I thought this Jade Gourd had a wooden stopper. It turns out to be a lid. This is the first time I've seen such a gourd!
Zhiyan Fotuo smiled.
— Put it away! I should escort you back to the Uçan Tekne. You all need to hurry on your way to avoid unforeseen troubles!
When Li Yue was sent back to the Uçan Tekne by Zhiyan Fotuo, Yue Feng Zhenjun had already woken up and was arranging for the Uçan Tekne to return to the sect!
The new disciples, including Liu Ye, were no longer on the deck. It seemed they had returned to their cabins. Li Yue bowed to several elders and was about to return to her cabin as well.
— Little girl, is your surname Shen?
Li Yue was stunned by the question. She looked up and saw it was Lifeng Daojun. Her heart skipped a beat. The surname Shen was not a good thing for her!
— To answer your question, Daojun, my surname is Li, not Shen!
Lifeng Daojun frowned slightly upon hearing this.
— Surname Li?
Zhiyan Fotuo glanced at Lifeng Daojun and Li Yue, then gave Li Yue a meaningful look.
— You go back first!
Li Yue nodded and turned to walk towards the cabin!
Lifeng Daojun squinted as he watched Li Yue's retreating figure. The bloodline in this girl was very pure. He was 100% certain it was the Shen family bloodline. He just didn't know whose descendant she was!
Zihan Daojun was busy controlling the Uçan Tekne to leave and didn't notice this. Zhiyan Fotuo directly transmitted his voice to Lifeng Daojun.
— What did you discover?
Lifeng Daojun trusted Zhiyan Fotuo completely and spoke frankly.
— This girl should have the Shen family bloodline!
Zhiyan Fotuo smiled slightly, moved his prayer beads a few times, and continued to transmit his voice.
— You are not mistaken. She is indeed one of your Shen family members, but she is not tolerated by your Shen family. This child is now eight years old. When you return to the family, inquire thoroughly! Her biological father wants to kill her and her mother.
— Oh, and the Feng family is also hunting down the mother and daughter! Her mother is currently in seclusion and dares not acknowledge her daughter for fear of attracting the pursuit of your Shen and Feng families!
Lifeng Daojun's brows furrowed so deeply that a fly could have been crushed between them.
— I've been in seclusion outside for over ten years, and such a thing has happened within the family?
Zhiyan Fotuo walked to the side and sat down. With a casual wave of his hand, a low table and two cushions appeared before him!
— Sit down and let's chat! The reason I appeared today was at the request of her mother to escort this child! However, I can protect her once, but I cannot be by her side all the time.
— That's why I'm telling you the truth! You are currently at Peak Nascent Soul cultivation, the highest-cultivated person in the Shen family, and someone who can control the Shen family. I wouldn't have told any other Shen family member!
Lifeng Daojun walked to the low table and sat down, looking at Zhiyan Fotuo.
— How did you and this child's mother meet? What is this child's mother's cultivation level?
