Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Chapter 413 Fellow Daoist! Please enter the sect and speak!

The mountain breeze swept through the treetops, swirling up fallen leaves all over the ground.

The Azure Lotus Daoist stood outside the gate of the Azure Cloud Sect, his expression shifting constantly.

Did Young Master Wang not return to the Wang family?

You should know that Master Wang's absence is something that Daoist Qinglian knows about!

He initially thought the young master was just having fun and had gone elsewhere, so he didn't keep it in mind.

Who would have thought that after so much time, that young master Wang would have disappeared!

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, is this true?" Daoist Qinglian suppressed his unease and could only pretend not to know. "Young Master Wang left Qingyun Sect half a month ago, saying he was going back to his family to retrieve some resources. How could he..."

"Taking resources?" Zhou Shan sneered. "If my master were home, would the clan's life lamps be without light? If I hadn't noticed something amiss with the life lamps and come to investigate personally, I'd probably still be in the dark!"

He stepped forward, and the pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator erupted, spreading outwards as if it were a tangible force.

"Tell me! Where is my master?!"

Qinglian Daoist's expression changed, and the stone slab beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

Normally, he would have argued his case, but he had something on his mind at the moment, so he swallowed his anger.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please calm down." Daoist Qinglian took a deep breath and then invited, "This matter is a long story, please come inside and discuss it in detail."

Zhou Shan frowned, stared at Qinglian Daoist for a moment, and seeing that the other party's expression did not seem to be fake, he snorted coldly, withdrew his aura, and stepped in.

The two of them, one in front of the other, passed through the mountain gate and flew towards the main peak.

What Zhou Shan saw along the way secretly alarmed him.

All the formations in the Qingyun Sect were activated, and spiritual light soared into the sky. The disciples were in a hurry, their faces filled with fear, and the entire sect was shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglian, your sect... seems to be in turmoil?" Zhou Shan couldn't help but ask.

The Taoist Qinglian smiled bitterly: "It's not just not peaceful, it's practically turning the world upside down."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the Azure Lotus Palace.

After dismissing everyone, Daoist Qinglian invited Zhou Shan to sit down and personally poured him tea before recounting the events of the past half month.

From the old eunuch stealing the Sword Tomb's inheritance, to their numerous encounters, to the fruitless search and seizure of the mountain, and finally to today's battle at the Sword Tomb, the old eunuch has once again escaped.

"That old eunuch's magic is strange, and his escape skills are unparalleled. Even I couldn't stop him." As Qinglian Daoist said this, a deep sense of fear flashed in his eyes. "Now that the sect is sealed off, none of us can get out, while he is hiding in the shadows. We are in the open while he is in the dark. Everyone in the sect is in danger."

Zhou Shan frowned as he listened.

He originally thought that the disappearance of the young master must be the work of the Qingyun Sect, who wanted to use the young master to blackmail him.

However, judging from Qinglian Daoist's account, there seems to be another hidden story.

Secondly, Zhou Shan then realized what was happening and said:

"You mean... the Qingyun Sect has been sealed off? You can't get out, so why did you call me in?"

"Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious," sighed Qinglian Daoist. "You're in the same boat as us now; you won't be able to leave this place for another year or two. However, I might know where Young Master Wang is, but I'll need your cooperation!"

Zhou Shan's face turned ashen!

He hadn't found his master yet, but unexpectedly he was trapped in the Qingyun Sect by this Qinglian Daoist again!

Feeling he had been unfairly treated, Zhou Shan could only suppress his anger and ask, "Tell me, what does that old eunuch's magic look like?"

The Taoist Qinglian raised his hand and used his spiritual power to outline in the void.

A Tai Chi symbol slowly emerges, with the yang half rising in fiery white light and the yin half sinking in dark gray light. The interplay of yin and yang is profound and mysterious.

"This technique is called Ascending to the Sun and Sinking to the Yin. It can simultaneously activate the two rules of rising and sinking to form a strange domain. Within it, gravity is unbalanced and spiritual energy is disordered, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

Zhou Shan stared at the Tai Chi diagram, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"The interplay of Yin and Yang... the balance of rising and falling..." he murmured to himself, "This is absolutely not a technique that a Core Formation cultivator could create! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator, after countless centuries of comprehension, would not be able to grasp the very edge of such rules!"

The Green Lotus Daoist smiled bitterly: "But that's the truth. Half a month ago, he could only escape using escape techniques, but now he can injure me. This rate of growth is simply terrifying, so I suspect that Young Master Wang is in the old eunuch's hands!"

Silence fell over the hall.

After a long silence, Zhou Shan slowly spoke: "If what you say is true, that old eunuch does indeed have the ability to capture my master. But why would he do that? My master has no grudge against him."

Qinglian Daoist shook his head: "I don't know either. However... that old eunuch has always acted strangely. He stole my inheritance and destroyed my array core. Perhaps he did it casually, or perhaps... he saw that Young Master Wang's identity was special and had other plans."

These words made Zhou Shan's heart tighten.

Young Master Wang's identity is indeed special.

As a direct descendant of the royal family, he was highly regarded by the family. If the sealed land had not been opened this time, the family would not have sent him to risk his life.

If that old eunuch really saw something...

"No!" Zhou Shan abruptly stood up. "We must find my master as soon as possible!"

"How do we find him?" Daoist Qinglian spread his hands. "That old eunuch is extremely well hidden. I have turned the entire sect upside down, but I haven't found even a single hair on his head. Now that the mountain-sealing formation has been activated, he can't get out, and we can't find him either. We can only wait for him to show himself."

Zhou Shan's face turned ashen.

Wait?

Although the Prince's life lamp was not extinguished, its light was dim, clearly indicating that he was in a precarious situation.

Every extra moment of waiting increases the danger.

But right now, he doesn't seem to have a better solution.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglian," Zhou Shan sat down again, his tone softening, "I apologize for my rudeness earlier. It was truly a matter of great concern to my master's safety, and I was extremely anxious."

Qinglian Daoist waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, there's no need for this. If it were me, I would have done the same. But given the current situation, there's no use in being hasty."

Zhou Shan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Will that old eunuch... reappear?"

"Yes," Qinglian Daoist said decisively. "He has provoked me time and time again, and he will probably be out again soon!"

"when?"

"It's hard to say," Qinglian Daoist shook his head. "Perhaps three to five days, perhaps three to five months. But I have already laid a net of heaven and earth; as long as he dares to show himself, I will make sure he never returns."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "However... that old eunuch is as cunning as a fox and has strange escape techniques. I'm afraid I alone cannot stop him."

Zhou Shan understood the implied meaning.

"What does Fellow Daoist Qinglian mean?"

"Let's join forces." Daoist Qinglian looked directly at Zhou Shan. "Fellow Daoist Zhou is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is no less than mine. If the two of us join forces to set up an array and trap, that old eunuch won't be able to escape even if he has wings."

Zhou Shan was moved.

He came here specifically to find the young master, and if the old eunuch was indeed the culprit who kidnapped his master, capturing him would naturally be the best option.

Can……

"How can I trust you?" Zhou Shan said in a deep voice, "What if this is a trap you set, and you're in cahoots with that old eunuch..."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is joking." Daoist Qinglian smiled bitterly. "I have a deep-seated hatred for that old eunuch, wishing I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. How could I possibly collude with him? If you don't believe me, you can stay at my Qingyun Sect and supervise him personally. When that old eunuch shows up, it will be clear whether he is friend or foe."
