The two women were skeptical when suddenly, several long beams of light flashed across the sky, and a group of Daoists flew over on their swords.

Zeng Jing actually recognized them. They were from the Qingcheng Sect. He found the Qingcheng Mountain while searching for the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect not too long ago. Therefore, he recognized the standard Daoist robe of the Qingcheng Sect.

The Daoists sheathed their swords and landed. They stood solemnly around in a circle and first and mourned the body on the floor for a while.

Then, someone said to Bai Yan and the loli, “We heard that Old Fiend Baiyue attacked your sect and specially came as reinforcement. Unfortunately, we were a step too late. It’s a pity.”

Bai Yan and the loli returned the greeting and thanked him.

The Daoist priest said, “We saw something flying towards us when we were flying here on our swords. It was so powerful that we quickly dodged it. When that thing passed us, we realized that it was actually Old Fiend Baiyue. He seemed to have been sent flying by a punch. I don’t know which fellow Daoist’s cultivation is so deep that he could actually send that Baiyue flying for a hundred miles. Moreover, he was still flying fast as lightning with no signs of slowing down. I think he will become a star in the sky.”

Bai Yan was surprised. “Really?”

The Daoist said, “How could it be fake if so many of us saw it with our own eyes? We thought that such a person might be from your Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect and that you have already defeated a powerful enemy. We didn’t expect… the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect had already… Sigh… I don’t know who the person who sent Old Fiend Baiyue flying was. He’s really too strong. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers on the path of cultivation. There’s always someone stronger…”

Zeng Jing didn’t know what to say at the side, so he could only remain silent. At this time, if he jumped out and said, “That person is me,” it would seem very cool, but in fact, he would be extremely stupid.

The Daoist continued to sigh. “I’m sorry for your loss, Junior Sisters! Don’t mess up your mental state lest you go berserk.”

With that, the group of Daoists raised their swords again and flew away.

The news that Old Fiend Baiyue would not come again was confirmed.

Bai Yan may not believe what Zeng Jing said, but there was no reason not to believe the words of the Qingcheng Sect Daoists.

Old Fiend Baiyue seemed to have been beaten to death. This was both good and bad news to the loli and her.

The good news was that they were safe and did not have to worry about Old Fiend Baiyue hunting them down. The bad news was that there might be no way to avenge the destruction of their clan. Who knows if Old Fiend Baiyue could survive this or not. There would be no hope for revenge if he was already dead.

Whatever!

For cultivators, the most important thing was to have a perfect mental state. Clear thoughts with less emotional fluctuations were better for them.

It would be more convenient for them to cultivate their minds in the future without a blood feud to avenge. However, it was inevitable that they would be depressed for a short period of time and would cause them to be unable to increase their cultivation levels. They could only continue cultivating after they walked out of their sorrow with a perfect mental state. Otherwise, they could go berserk and injure their Purple Mansion. The gains would not make up for the losses.

The two of them began to dig graves to bury their fellow members of their sect.

Zeng Jing did not know if he should help, so he could only watch from the side.

The little loli cried as she dug. However, Zeng Jing realized that even though she was young, she dug very quickly. It seemed that she had some cultivation and was not as weak as an ordinary little loli. As for Bai Yan, she was even more powerful. She formed a sword control technique and two swords flew from her back. They spun and danced, digging several large holes in the ground. She did not need to do anything.

However, as the two girls dug, they suddenly remembered Zeng Jing. Bai Yan turned to look at him. “Eh? You haven’t left yet? By the way, I haven’t asked you why you’re here.”

Zeng Jing did not know whether to laugh or cry. ‘You finally remembered to ask me what I was doing?’

He sighed. “I came to Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect to learn. I didn’t expect to encounter such a situation…”

Bai Yan said, “So that’s how it is. Now that you’ve seen it, our Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect has been destroyed. There’s no becoming a disciple or learning skills. You should find another sect to take you in. There are many sects in Shu Mountain like Qingcheng, Emei, Wolong, Xiling, Balan…”

“I have to stop you right there.” Zeng Jing said, “I don’t like any of them. I only like the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. Uh, I want to ask, in your current situation, are you still taking in disciples?”

Bai Yan said, “You still want to join our sect irregardless of our current situation?”

Zeng Jing said, “Why not?”

Bai Yan said, “You can choose another stronger sect!”

Zeng Jing said, “I don’t care about that. What matters is that I like this sect.”

Bai Yan said, “Sorry, it’s not convenient for our sect to recruit new disciples now.”

Zeng Jing was speechless.

At this moment, the little loli who was digging a hole at the side looked up. “Senior Sister Bai, why can’t our sect accept him? You just said that the two of us have to revive the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. How can we revive it if we don’t recruit new disciples? Since he’s still willing to join our sect under such circumstances, we should recruit him as our disciple.”

Bai Yan said, “But…”

The little loli suddenly raised her head stubbornly, a hint of pride and unyieldingness flashed across her young face. “Senior Sister, I am the new Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect from now on. You will be the Guardian Elder. I want to inherit our Ancestors’ legacy and revive the sect.”

With that, she pointed at Zeng Jing and said, “Your name is Zeng Jing, right? From today onwards, you are an outer sect disciple of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. I am your Sect Master, Yuan Yingjie. Don’t forget.”

Zeng Jing said, “Huh? Isn’t she your Senior Sister? Shouldn’t she be the Sect Master in terms of seniority?”

Bai Yan hurriedly explained, “Junior Sister is the final disciple of the Sect Master. Her comprehension far exceeds that of ordinary people, and her potential is endless. Her cultivation progress is more than 10 times faster than ordinary disciples, and she is the future successor appointed by Master. Therefore, it’s best for her to be the new Sect Master. I’ll just assist from the side. This is also the mission that Master gave me. My aptitude is poor, and my Master said that it’s difficult for me to ascend to the Immortal Dao. I’ll seal Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect’s fate if I become the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. Only Junior Sister can take on the heavy responsibility of reviving the sect.”

“I see.” Zeng Jing straightened his face. Alright, it didn’t matter even though it felt strange that the Sect Master was a loli. Lolis are justice. You do not question justice. Besides, he liked the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect anyway. It didn’t matter what the Sect Master looked like as long as she could teach him the Sword Control Techniques and the Myriad Sword Techniques.

In the schools of later generations, weren’t there also female teachers with Loli faces? You couldn’t deny her teaching ability just because she looked very young. Besides, wouldn’t Loli teachers be better? Hehehe.

He cupped his little loli Yuan Yingjie’s hands. “Alright, Sect Master, Senior Sister Bai, please guide me from now on.”

The two women had been polite to him a moment ago, but suddenly their attitudes had changed. Their attitudes toward outsiders and outer disciples were completely different.

One had to be polite to outsiders. As for outer sect disciples…

Yuan Yingjie said, “Since you’ve already entered the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, the people who died on the ground are all your masters, martial uncles, senior brothers, and senior sisters. Come and bury the corpses too. After you’re done, repair the houses that were burned down by the Old Fiend Baiyue. Clean, cook, fetch water…”

“Stop!” Zeng Jing sweated. “Are you kidding me? I’m here to learn from you, not to be a housekeeper.”

The two women said together, “The outer sect disciples of every sect are responsible for these things. If you refuse to do anything and are only responsible for freeloading and cultivating martial arts, which sect will want you? Why should they teach you cultivation?”

Zeng Jing was speechless.

Zeng Jing finally knew the tragic fate of the ancient apprentice workers.

Alright, he would admit it! After all, even in the future, if you wanted to go to school, you had to pay the teacher’s tuition fees. Those who were poor and could not pay the tuition fees could only work for their master.

In addition, the two girls looked so delicate that they were obviously not suitable for these dirty jobs. He was now the only man in the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, so he would just give in to the girls.
