Chapter 949
Making Things Difficult
Several years pass in the blink of an eye. More than a thousand days may seem like a long time, but for an immortal, it may just be a short period of seclusion.
The spaceship arrived at the Xuanming Immortal Realm. The concentration of Origin Qi in the Xuanming Immortal Realm was several times that of the Snow Moon Empire, and this was only in the outermost part of the Xuanming Immortal Realm.
As for why the Xuanming Immortal Sect's spaceships don't dock at the sect, it's simply because the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm belongs to the territory controlled by the Xuanming Immortal Sect, so there's no need for them to dock there specifically.
Lin Xiao and Duan Yeming strode away as soon as they got off the spaceship, and the other cultivators also scattered immediately after getting off the spaceship to avoid being targeted by anyone with ulterior motives.
"Brother Duan, my main purpose in coming to the Xuanming Immortal Realm is to find someone. Of course, in such a vast place as the Xuanming Immortal Realm, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so I'm not in a hurry. Judging from your words, Brother Duan, you must have something important to do upon returning to the Xuanming Immortal Realm, right?"
Lin Xiao and Duan Yeming walked side by side.
Lin Xiao learned that his father was involved in several immortal realms, and the Xuanming Immortal Realm was one of them. This was Lin Xiao's main purpose in coming here.
And then there's Lin Xiao's mother's master, the Deer Immortal Daoist...
Lin Xiao was completely clueless about all of this and could only find a place to rest for the time being.
Duan Yeming nodded slightly.
"I was once a member of the Duan family in the Xuanming Immortal Realm, but because I was poisoned by the Hell Lotus, I could no longer stay in the Duan family, so I left the Duan family to travel around in search of a cure. I thought there was no hope of a cure, but I was saved by you, Lin Xiao, on my way back. I can never repay this life-saving grace in three hundred years."
Duan Yeming spoke sincerely, because three hundred years was indeed nothing to a Celestial King, since normally a Celestial King's lifespan is a million years.
"It seems your family is quite powerful, Brother Duan, considering you're a Seventh Tribulation Immortal King." Lin Xiao was a little curious about Duan Yeming's family.
"Our Duan family is one of the ten great immortal clans of the Xuanming Immortal Realm, and we are affiliated with the Xuanming Immortal Sect. Our Duan family ancestor was a golden-robed elder of the Xuanming Immortal Sect. In the entire Xuanming Immortal Realm, our Duan family does have some influence."
"Kid, the Duan family can be your first place to stay, but try to keep a low profile. In my opinion, Duan Yeming's presence in the Duan family is probably a bit awkward."
"Yes, Elder Xuan, I will be careful."
The Duan family.
As one of the ten great families of the Xuanming Immortal Realm, the Duan family has an extremely powerful reputation and occupies a territory of tens of millions of miles. In particular, the Duan family has specially created a family space where all members of the Duan family live.
Creating space is something Lin Xuan can also do within the Small Heavenly Origin World.
However, when creating space, one must consider whether the space of the area being created is stable. The space of the Little Heavenly Origin World is naturally incomparable to that of the Xuanming Immortal Domain.
The fact that the Duan family was able to carve out such a vast space within the powerful Xuanming Immortal Realm is enough to demonstrate their formidable strength.
Lin Xiao followed Duan Yeming toward the Duan family's encampment.
"Who comes here?"
Several figures blocked Lin Xiao and Duan Yeming's path.
These figures were all Golden Immortals, and in the Duan family, Golden Immortals were used as gatekeepers.
"I am Duan Yeming."
Those four simple words made those Golden Immortal Realm experts feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
“Duan Yeming…”
"So it's the Seventh Elder!"
The others looked at Duan Yeming with strange, even scrutinizing, gazes.
"What? Now that I, the seventh elder of the Duan family, have returned home, do I still need to be inspected by you?"
Duan Yeming snorted coldly, looking coldly at the people in front of him.
The Duan family members looked at each other, and finally the leader stepped forward with a forced smile:
"That's impossible. We will naturally welcome the Seventh Elder, who is Hui, but we still need to check any unauthorized persons."
The leader looked at Lin Xiao, who was standing next to Duan Yeming, as he spoke. Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Hahaha, kid, I guessed right. I told you that Duan Yeming's position in the Duan family was a bit awkward, and sure enough."
Lin Xuan burst into laughter at the sight.
Lin Xiao was speechless.
"Elder Xuan, how can you still laugh? Now it's my turn to be examined."
"Don't worry, although Duan Yeming's position is awkward, he is still a Celestial King and has a high status in the Duan family. He won't let you undergo an examination."
Lin Xuan said with great certainty.
Lin Xiao pursed his lips, choosing to trust Lin Xuan's judgment.
"Impossible! This young friend Lin Xiao is my honored guest. How could he be allowed to undergo an inspection? What, am I, the dignified Seventh Elder, not qualified to bring guests?!"
Duan Yeming's expression turned ugly as he stared intently at the several Golden Immortal disciples of the Duan family before him.
Although these people were all at the Golden Immortal Realm, being stared at so intently by Duan Yeming made them feel uneasy, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"Does this elder's word no longer carry weight within the clan?!"
Duan Yeming exerted his power again, and the terrifying power of the Immortal King realm directly pressed down on the group.
"Haha, Seventh Elder, it's perfectly acceptable for you to bring guests back to your clan. These youngsters are only doing this out of respect for the clan rules. Seventh Elder, there's no need to make things so difficult for the younger generation."
At this moment, a figure sped across the sky, stood in mid-air, and looked down at Duan Yeming.
Duan Yeming couldn't help but sneer when he saw who it was.
"Hehe, so it's Ninth Brother. What, you won't even call me Seventh Brother anymore?"
"Haha, Seventh Brother, what are you saying? How could that be? You will always be the Seventh Brother in my heart."
Lin Xiao recognized the newcomer: he was dressed in pure white brocade robes, without a single blemish, and held a floral folding fan in his hand. His face was cold and stern, and his speech was erratic, making it impossible to discern his personality or next move.
"Ninth Brother, as an elder of the Duan family, is there a problem with me bringing guests back to my clan?"
Duan Yeming asked again, slightly angrily.
"No, no, no, of course there is no problem. This young fellow Daoist does seem to have some composure, but his strength is a bit lacking."
Ninth Elder Duan Kong looked at Lin Xiao and sized him up briefly.
"Elder Xuan, what level is this person?"
Lin Xiao asked Lin Xuan in secret.
"A Fifth Tribulation Immortal King is barely passable. He is definitely no match for Duan Yeming at his peak, but right now the two are probably neither here nor there."
Lin Xuan replied casually.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, then looked at Duan Yeming, waiting for Duan Yeming to introduce himself.
"Young friend Lin Xiao, this is Duan Kong, the Ninth Elder of our Duan family."
Duan Kong couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing that Duan Yeming actually showed some respect to a Xuanxian Realm guy.
This arrogant guy thinks he can look down on so many people in the world.
"Duan Yeming, has the poison you were given back then been cured?"
Duan Kong suddenly sensed that Duan Yeming's aura was off. (End of Chapter)
