"What nonsense, you're an elder and still saying you have a low status, you think I'm a three-year-old?"

This Seventh Elder is just asking for trouble; not roasting him is a disservice to the drooling brothers of the Kao Shan Sect.

"No way, I haven't said a single lie."

The Seventh Elder felt wronged, if he could have spoken, he would have done so already, there's no way he'd still lie when he's about to be roasted.

"Roast him for me."

Tang Rao stopped looking at the Seventh Elder.

This old man, once put on the grill, all his hair would burn up, followed by his flesh, the fat in the meat, and the crunch of the bones...

Tang Rao was just muttering to himself, but somehow the Seventh Elder heard it.

For the Seventh Elder, death is not scary; what's scary is the process of waiting for death.

Falling into Tang Rao's hands, he acknowledged his bad luck.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll say everything, Tang Rao, just spare me!"

The Seventh Elder softened.

Even the strongest can't withstand Tang Rao's methods.

Tang Rao could only say that he was just teasing the Seventh Elder playfully; roasting human flesh was not something he dared to do.

He waved off his subordinates who were carrying the elder, saying, "Let him go for now, spare him temporarily."

What a close call, he almost became a roasted pig.

After being released, the Seventh Elder patted his chest, still looking shaken.

"Go ahead, tell me, what's the secret about Lu Jun? I think you won't let me tie you up again."

The Seventh Elder wiped the sweat from his forehead and made his final decision.

"That kid was mischievous as a child and accidentally ate the Blood Ginseng left by our ancestors. Its potent energy overwhelmed his nerves, so he seemed weak. But it was recently discovered that once the Blood Ginseng merged with Lu Jun's blood, his blood gained the same properties."

So Lu Jun is essentially a walking Blood Ginseng.

What a scoundrel that old master is.

"So your ancestors want to capture Lu Jun, eat his flesh and drink his blood for immortality?"

Tang Rao's whole body was terrifyingly cold.

The Seventh Elder dared not continue speaking down that path.

Such a bloody thing is only known by a few important people at the top.

The Seventh Elder overheard it by accident while receiving orders in a crisis. To him, drinking the blood of the younger generation is simply murder and inadvisable.

"Go back and tell your ancestors that if they want Lu Jun, the walking Blood Ginseng, they can dream on!"

Blood Ginseng has been an extremely rare item for thousands of years, and Tang Rao admired Lu Jun's guts for eating such precious stuff.

And the Lu Family was reckless, hiding Lu Jun so well that no one realized this shocking secret.

"If I don't take Lu Jun, I might as well not go back; the Sect Master said if we fail, everyone dies. If I go back alone, it's a dead end for me anyway, so I might as well not return."

What?

What did the Seventh Elder just say?

Tang Rao couldn't process it.

The Seventh Elder actually wanted to stay, in the very place where he almost got roasted, and he dared to continue living there?

The elder truly lives up to his title; powerful and bold, much more so than Tang Rao.

But with Lu Jun in the Kao Shan Sect, as long as the Seventh Elder is around, there's a hidden threat every day. What if he captures Lu Jun while inside the sect?

"You have to leave; there's no more room in Kao Shan Sect for you, sorry."

There have been people wanting to join Kao Shan Sect before, but Tang Rao had never rejected anyone so completely as he did the Seventh Elder.

"Then till we meet again."

The Seventh Elder, fully aware of his awkward situation, didn't trouble Tang Rao any further and left Kao Shan Sect on his own.

"Sect Master, I think I've messed up again."

Lu Jun only dared to appear after the Seventh Elder had left.

"Yo, you've got some guts, kid, knowing you've caused trouble. What didn't you eat, had to eat the Blood Ginseng and now a whole gang's after you."

If Lu Jun wasn't on friendly terms with Tang Rao, Tang Rao might even be tempted by a walking Blood Ginseng.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay in Kao Shan Sect, I'll protect you. No one can touch you."

Tang Rao also had ulterior motives.

If he truly treated Lu Jun well, Lu Jun wouldn't abandon him in times of crisis. Heh, heh, heh, how clever I am.

"It's nothing good, if it's a blessing, it's not a curse, if it's a curse, you can't avoid it, Sect Master, a great disaster is coming."

Just as Tang Rao was feeling smug, the old man poured a bucket of cold water over him.

He was predicting the future again, and it wasn't a bright one.

"Old man, look at my face; I've just been through a disaster, and there's more? Aren't you a fortune teller? Why not ask the heavens why it always chooses me for hardship?"

Tang Rao was fatigued.

"The consequences of your own actions you must face yourself; this isn't a fate I can change."

If I could change your fate, Tang Rao, there wouldn't be all this fuss.

The old man shook his head, glancing briefly at Lu Jun, and said no more.

He could see the differences between the Kao Shan Sect and other sects and foresaw the numerous dangers within. Being under Tang Rao's leadership meant facing more than just ordinary challenges.

"Forget it, forget it, with the Seventh Elder gone, strengthen the internal defenses of the Kao Shan Sect, report immediately if anything happens."

Regardless of Lu Jun and other matters, Tang Rao still hadn't had enough of observing the Nine-petal Snow Beast.

"Xiao Xue, oh Xiao Xue, why do I feel like coming to the Land of Immortals was a wrong decision? If Chen Ajiu hadn't happened, I would still be on Blue Star or the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, being a boss and living an uneventful life."

In the vast desolate land, Tang Rao released the Nine-petal Snow Beast, lonely enough to chat about life with an immortal beast.

The Nine-petal Snow Beast could understand Tang Rao, but being unable to speak, she could only nuzzle up to his face as if comforting him.

"Xiao Xue, I wish I had an immortal beast to whisk me away to the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains and whisk me back again. I really miss the people on Blue Star."

Tang Rao, in front of the immortal beast, expressed his true feelings for the first time.

"Actually, I believe in fate, always wanting to change it, but in the end, I am still trapped by the playing of the heavens."

"Damned Tang Rao, what have you been thinking all day? You're not being your optimistic self at all!"

Tang Rao felt a strong tremor in his portable palace.

Fang Jinxiu's voice seemed more penetrating than ever before.

"Tang Rao, do you know that ever since you fully controlled the portable palace, whenever you feel sad, it starts raining inside, and I've gotten completely soaked!"

Fang Jinxiu kept complaining inside.

"I'm out here trying to dry clothes, and now I've got to wash them all over again, I'm about out of clothes to wear, what do you suggest I do?"
