Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 049 Spirit Demons And Humans, Kun-Lai's Two Lineages
Feng Qingxiu had a dream. In his dream, his cultivation level soared straight up in a clear sky, sweeping away ghosts, demons and gods alike, without failing the might and prestige of Kun-Lai at all. Even more, he managed to gain a lot of territory and achieved great merit, including a beautiful place with verdant hills and limpid water. He then took out his savings over many years, built a huge palace, and invited his master to stay.
His master praised him and settled with happiness, saying: Xiao Qing is indeed my good apprentice.
And he replied that this was what this apprentice should do.
In this way, he climbed up the highest summit of life and married Mr. Perfect. (TN: slang for fair-skinned, rich and beautiful)
Everyone in the world came to bring congratulations.
And then it was the wedding, entering the bridal chamber full of candles, and feeling like a winner in life.
Then he woke up the next day and found that it was his master who shared the bed with him?
Then Feng Qingxiu was woken up instantly.
What a scary dream!
Even if he slept with the paper man for more than a month before, he shouldn't be having such a dream!
He woke up but still felt terrified.
He looked up and saw the result of his painstaking efforts over several months, the pavilions and other structures remained the same, and the jade man stared at him with a smile.
Wait! I didn't seem to have painted the eyes on the jade figurine yesterday.
What was this situation?
Feng Qingxiu's fingertips were instantly wrapped in formless sword energy.
There was a trace of killing intent in his cold eyes.
"Ai, I haven't seen you for a few months, doesn't the apprentice even know his master anymore?" The jade man asked with a smile.
Feng Qingxiu sneered: "You dare to pretend to be my master?" He had long heard that jade had spiritual awareness, but no matter what, pretending to be his master must not be tolerated!
The jade man showed an expression of interest: "So what if I pretended to be, are you still willing to attack me?"
"Shameless!" Feng Qingxiu was furious, the sword energy burst out, and pierced in the jade man's direction.
"You can't hit me like this~" The jade man flashed away, and the sword energy landed on the model celestial dwelling!
Shattering it to pieces.

After some tossing about, Feng Qingxiu sat aggrievedly by the window and ignored him, and it was useless no matter how long his master comforted him.
"Okay, I apologize, it's my fault, I just didn't want to wake Xiao Qing last night, Xiao Qing, I was also so sad when you drew your sword at me~"
The jade man jumped to the window in front of him, "Don't be angry, Xiao Qing. I promise to tell you in advance next time."
The appearance of the jade man's small body making promises was too cute, and Feng Qingxiu felt an arrow lodging in his chest and armor falling apart. He simply couldn't be angry any longer.
Feng Qingxiu, who got his master's promise, reluctantly accepted his master's explanation and began to tell him about what he had seen and heard recently.
Now Ji Yunlai felt that this was his cute apprentice!
It was indeed a right choice to come all the way here over thousands of miles.
Although he gave his apprentice means to self-defend, he felt uneasy whenever he thought of his apprentice’s physique, which was basically equal to a spiritual artifact and treasure, so it was more reassuring to watch over him personally.
"By the way master, you hid in my pocket last time and came here quietly. So how did you come this time?"
Feng Qingxiu asked with concern. One must know that divine consciousness would disappear without an object to rely on, and there must be something for it to attach to before it could continue to exist outside the true body, otherwise it would naturally dissipate. Previously, his master had to protect the safety of the Great Xiao State, and exhausted the power in the trace of divine consciousness, so it should have dissipated.
And this place was too far away from Kun-Lai, his master's divine consciousness could not stretch this far, and would have to separate out another trace of divine consciousness and re-attach to another thing to come over.
"It's simple. In autumn, wild geese will fly south, so I just stuck myself among the feathers of a wild goose, and flew here." Ji Yunlai said indifferently, in fact, he could just directly have a firebird send him over by express, but he was the Sect Leader. That would scare them, so it was better to find ordinary birds and enjoy the scenery along the way.
In fact, it turned out that all the way to the Southern Sea was the migration path of geese in winter. Six hundred years ago, they all used to bypass the Kun-Lai Mountains of the Western Continent and flew from the Southern Continent to the Central Continent. But when the Western Continent was injected with vitality, they began to fly through the Western Continent. The adaptability of these lifeforms was comparable to that of human beings.
Ji Yunlai calculated the time and met up with his apprentice here.
"I have troubled Master." Feng Qingxiu thought about it and felt that the paper man had suffered coming all this way, and it was too wrong of him to be so fierce, so he sincerely said, "Master has been in Seclusion for many years, and Yan City has undergone countless changes. Let this apprentice bring you around to have a look."
He knew that his master was very interested in these things, but didn't like to go shopping alone, and preferred it when someone accompanied him.
The jade man was full of happiness, his apprentice was being so considerate, of course he would want to go!
***
Great Yan State was the southernmost country in the Western Continent, and the word Yan itself also meant walking in water, and referred to this as a country on water.
The Kun-Lai Mountains were extremely high, blocking the southwest monsoon. The south of the mountain was close to the sea, and the clouds gathered thickly there. It rained almost every day, and precious water vapor would flow into the sea.
Hundreds of years ago, the Great Xiao State was in civil strife, embroiling the borders into unrest as well. A rebel army fled all the way south by boat, and finally settled and multiplied in the southern part of the Western Continent, becoming a state.
Because the south was humid, the houses in Great Yan were all built with wood, the buildings built on top of wooden pillars that supported the base of the house. And practically every household owned small boats.
Feng Qingxiu had been here only once, but he had a very good memory. He spoke knowledgeably well about the customs and people, which made his master very happy.
However, after walking around for a moment, he saw his Net Charm flickering, which was a signal to ask him to go back immediately as something happened—the Net Charm could only have this function when it couldn't connect to the Kun-Lai main network.
So Feng Qingxiu immediately returned to the flying peak.
Seeing the jade man on his shoulder, Ji Mingyu's eyes flashed brightly, and even forgot about serious business. She reached out to touch it: "Senior Brother Feng, you are amazing, could you give me this carving, please!"
But her hands were slapped away mercilessly, and Feng Qingxiu put the jade man on his shoulder into the pouch hanging around his neck with a cold face—yes, the very same pouch that he used to hold the ashes of the paper man before.
"Let's get down to business, Senior Sister Tu!" Feng Qingxiu rejected Ji Mingyu and reminded the person next to her.
"Okay." Senior Sister Tu also reluctantly retracted her gaze, and then she said solemnly: "Someone has seriously injured two Junior Brothers of the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Feng Qingxiu's expression turned cold: "How's the injury? Who did it?"
"The injuries are not light. The attacker was extremely vicious. If it wasn't for the Detoxification Pill, they would have already become mentally retarded. Even if the poison has subsided, they would still have to remain paralyzed for half a year to recover." Senior Sister Tu smiled wryly, "As for the attacker, I really don't know how to tell you."
"I did it," said a clear voice next to him.
It was a little girl in a blue gauze dress, her eyes were clear and beautiful, and when she stood still, she looked as lovely as peach blossoms.
"My name is Shui Lanlan, I belong to the local blue sunflower jellyfish spirit demon clan, which is the most poisonous sea monster in the local Wanli Sea." The little girl's expression was calm, "The two of them repeatedly questioned my qualifications for attending the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, and even humiliated my family. I rebutted them into speechlessness, so they insisted on driving me away. They couldn't beat me, so they used underhanded means and asked for death in every possible way. Only then did I release the tentacles. Afterwards, I gave the antidote immediately. Everything is recorded by the Shadow Beads."
Feng Qingxiu didn't know what to say for a while.
"She is You Jia's step-cousin, her uncle is Wenjian Peak's Deputy Peak Master You Bazhua, her aunt is Jiedu Peak's Peak Master Shui Wugou, her mother is the West Sea Spirit Demon King Shui Wusi, and her father is the Emperor of Great Yan here." Senior Sister Tu whispered in his ear, "Princess Shui Tianyue of the West Sea, nicknamed Lanlan, most people dare not stop her from entering Kun-Lai. Those two people who stopped her were two new disciples from Qingdi Peak."
"You mean?" Feng Qingxiu basically understood.
"That's right," Senior Sister Tu said with a big headache, "I believe we have become involved in the conflict between Kun-Lai's human and spirit demon lineages."
