Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

When Zhou Yiqiao entered the Jade Dragon Carriage, the Holy Son of Tianxuan Sect was already sitting on a cushion in the middle of the carriage with his eyes closed.

He heard the noise but ignored Zhou Yiqiao and continued to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Zhou Yiqiao couldn’t figure out the intentions of the Holy Son of Tianxuan Sect for the time being, so he didn’t go forward to disturb him. Instead, he stood quietly aside and waited patiently.

About three incense sticks later, the Holy Son of Tianxuan Sect slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Zhou Yiqiao and went straight to the point.

"My name is Lin Muzhi, the son of the Tianxuan Sect's leader, and also the current Holy Son of the Tianxuan Sect."

When he heard the other party introduce himself, he immediately bowed.

"Next Zhou Yiqiao, the subordinate of Miss Qing Jimeng of Qinjian Villa."

He did not tell Lin Muzhi that he was a disciple of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Firstly, he did not deliberately hide his identity, and it was not a secret. If Lin Muzhi was interested in investigating, he could easily find out everything.

Secondly, he emphasized his identity as Qing Jimeng's subordinate, which was both a respect for Qing Jimeng and a reminder to Lin Muzhi of his background besides the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Of course, Zhou Yiqiao thought so much about it, but Lin Muzhi didn't care.

He glanced at Zhou Yiqiao and said lightly.

"The reason why I agreed to take you to Tianxuan Sect with Fairy Jimeng is because Fairy Jimeng gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse."

"However, we have just left the sphere of influence of Qinjian Villa and have encountered the ink-scaled demon snake that is rarely seen in the Tianchen Realm. We don't know what we will encounter next."

"I can save you once, but I can't save you every time. And I can't sacrifice the lives of my Tianxuan Sect disciples to protect you."

"So, I hope you can understand that your life is your own. I have done my best to take you to Tianxuan Sect."

"On the way to Tianxuan Sect, I will try my best to protect you, but if I encounter a situation where I need to choose between you and the disciples of Tianxuan Sect, I will abandon you without hesitation."

Although Lin Muzhi's words were cold, Zhou Yiqiao was not surprised.

After all, Lin Muzhi's trading partner is Qing Jimeng, and the relationship between him and Lin Muzhi is not even the most basic interest relationship.

The fact that Lin Muzhi was able to talk openly with him showed that he was a very well-mannered person.

"Thank you for the reminder, Saint Lin. I understand."

Zhou Yiqiao said respectfully.

Lin Muzhi nodded, did not continue talking, and immersed himself in his own world again.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao got out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage, the disciples of Tianxuan Sect had already set up tents for the night.

The tent was brightly lit and one could faintly hear the voices of disciples talking inside.

Zhou Yiqiao did not go in immediately, but stood outside the carriage and looked up at the night sky.

In the night sky, the stars are twinkling like scattered diamonds, dazzling.

He felt a little heavy in his heart.

Qing Jimeng clearly told him that this trip to Tianxuan Sect would not be known to the Great Elder.

But not long after the group left Qinjian Villa, they encountered a dangerous situation that Zhou Yiqiao could not face alone. If someone said this was a coincidence, he would be the first one not to believe it.

"Qing Ji Meng should have no reason to harm me."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself that Qing Jimeng was the eldest daughter of Qinjian Villa and had a high status. If she wanted to harm him, there was no need for her to go to so much trouble.

"So, who is behind this?"

Zhou Yiqiao frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this trip to Tianxuan Sect would not be smooth sailing.

But the danger he encountered at this time came earlier and more violently than he had expected.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

In this world full of unknowns and dangers, staying calm and rational is the key to survival.

Zhou Yiqiao did not return to the tent. Instead, he moved away from the disciples of Tianxuan Sect and went into the woods nearby.

He was completely confused about the current situation and needed to contact Qing Jimeng in Qinjian Villa immediately to discuss countermeasures.

After entering the woods, Zhou Yiqiao wandered all the way and came to a relatively hidden open space. Then he took out the jade talisman that Qing Jimeng had given him when he was in Yanzhou.

Zhou Yiqiao made a hand gesture with one hand, placed the jade talisman on his forehead, and silently recited Qing Jimeng's name in his heart.

A moment later, a light flashed on the jade talisman, and Qing Jimeng's cold voice was heard.

"You should have just left Qinjian Villa. Why are you contacting me now?"

Zhou Yiqiao went straight to the point and immediately told Qing Jimeng on the other side of the jade talisman in detail about the encounter with the black-scaled demon snake and his own speculations.

"Ink-scaled demon snake?"

There was a hint of surprise in Qingji Meng's reply.

"This kind of demon snake is extremely rare in the Tianchen Realm. How could it suddenly appear on your way to the Tianxuan Sect? This is indeed unusual."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and said in a deep voice.

"I also think this matter is strange, so I report it to you immediately."

"From the current perspective, if you can confirm that the information about my leaving Qinjian Villa has not been exposed to the Great Elder's faction, then there is a traitor around you who is secretly causing trouble."

"Not only you, but also the men you arranged my identity for, there may be spies or spies planted around them."

After hearing Zhou Yiqiao's words, Qing Jimeng fell into deep thought.

After a while, she sent another message.

"I understand. Your information is crucial. I will clear the eyes of the great elders around me as soon as possible."

"As for your safety, I will ask the nearby trusted Sword Questioning House to mobilize forces to protect you in secret."

"Thank you, miss."

Zhou Yiqiao's expression eased a little and he replied.

As Zhou Yiqiao finished his message, the light on the jade talisman gradually dissipated, and peace was restored.

He put away the jade talisman, feeling a little relieved. With Qing Jimeng's promise and arrangement, at least his safety could be guaranteed to a certain extent during the rest of the journey.

Zhou Yiqiao turned around and prepared to return to the tent. However, at this moment, he felt a strong wave coming from a distance, and then the entire ground began to shake slightly.

His face changed and he immediately realized that this was a sign of something big to happen.

Without hesitation, he mobilized his spiritual power and flew towards the tent.

When he returned to the tent, he saw that the disciples of Tianxuan Sect were in chaos. Lin Muzhi also walked out of the carriage, looking into the distance with a serious look.

"What happened?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked hurriedly.

Lin Muzhi looked unhappy.

"Another powerful force is approaching. I'm afraid it's some kind of powerful monster."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar was heard in the distance, and then a huge monster appeared in everyone's sight.

The monster was covered in black scales, with bloodthirsty light flashing in its eyes. It was the Ink Scale Demon Snake that we had encountered before.
