Chapter 835: Chapter 397: Ten Great Mountains Sect Leaders! The Terrifying Flight_2

滴滴...

At this moment, Zhang Fan’s phone rang. He took it out and saw a message pop up on WeChat from Li Miaoyin.

Zhang Fan’s eye twitched involuntarily as he saw that Li Miaoyin had forwarded a link directly to him, the headline was clearly the news: [Shocking! Sanqing Mountain’s Heir Yu Xuanji Appears with a Mysterious Partner!?]

"..."

Before Zhang Fan could react, Li Miaoyin sent several more messages in a row.

"Enemies turned friends?"

"For a girlfriend?"

"..."

Zhang Fan pouted and was about to reply when Li Miaoyin added another message.

"You’re so good at cherishing the fairer sex!"

The praising ending even came with a "smile" emoji.

"She’s complimenting you." Fang Changle leaned over and peeked.

"Are you stupid?"

Zhang Fan shot a sideways glance: "When girls send smile emojis, they’re dissatisfied!"

"Where are you?" Zhang Fan replied.

"Zhenwu Mountain!" Li Miaoyin responded almost immediately.

"It’s hard to explain in a few words, I’m about to board the plane, we’ll talk when I arrive."

"Okay!"

Li Miaoyin replied, still accompanied by a smiling emoji.

"You see how much trouble this stupid app has brought me." Zhang Fan put away his phone, speechless.

"Don’t worry, at worst, contact the other party and send a clarification statement." Fang Changle joked.

"Wouldn’t that be akin to indirectly telling others that the so-called gossip... the main character is me?" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and said.

Issuing a statement? That would be akin to revealing a secret hidden in the open, after all, the report didn’t mention Zhang Fan’s name, and the blurry photos could probably only be recognized by those familiar with him.

"If it really can’t be helped, contact Yu Xuanji to send it." Fang Changle said casually.

Evidently, he didn’t know how dangerous Yu Xuanji was now.

"Maybe, we’ll meet at Zhenwu Mountain this time."

"Zhenwu Mountain!?"

Zhang Fan’s gaze tightened, a hint of killing intent flashing in his deep eyes.

"Will she come back?"

"It’s uncertain. Although this disciple acceptance ceremony by Transcendent Zhenren at Zhenwu Mountain would be simplified, many prominent figures will definitely come." Fang Changle said solemnly.

"The sect leaders of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains will attend in numbers."

"Will they all attend?" Zhang Fan’s heart stirred.

The sect leaders of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains are the pinnacle existences in the cultivation realm.

"Not necessarily." Fang Changle pondered.

Setting aside Zhenwu Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"My master will definitely attend."

Mao Mountain Sect Leader Chen Zhuqing’s schedule was already set. His flight was tomorrow morning, and Fang Changle, afraid of traveling only with his master, hitched a ride with Zhang Fan a day earlier to go to Zhenwu Mountain together.

"Lao Mountain Sect Leader Li Chengge will definitely be there as well."

Among the sect leaders of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains, Li Chengge is the youngest and the least experienced, so he naturally wouldn’t miss a major event of Transcendent Zhenren.

"Qi Yun Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Sanqing Mountain... the sect leaders of these three families should also attend." Fang Changle speculated.

Qi Yun Mountain Sect Leader Mo Rancun!

Zhongnan Mountain Sect Leader Zhou Kong Zen!

Sanqing Mountain Sect Leader Tong Miaoguan!

These three were also on the confirmed list and, barring any surprises, should be present to observe the ceremony.

"Qingcheng Mountain Sect Leader Shen Qianji might not return. He’s been stationed at the Land of Demons for many years and might find it difficult to leave." Fang Changle speculated.

The position of Qingcheng Mountain is quite special, deeply nestled in the Ba and Shu region. It is said that its back mountain is where heaven and earth meet. Dao Ancestor Zhang Daoling once came to Shu to preach, intercepting the Yangtze River’s Dragon Qi, subduing Netherworld Ghosts and Gods, and sealing the Yin and Yang convergence point.

Even so, that place remains a Demon Ghost Blessed Land, and over time, it has become a secret realm known as the "Land of Demons," a place comparable to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the three-thousand-mile Qinling.

Just as it’s well-known that Bai Suzhen once cultivated under Qingcheng Mountain, in the Land of Demons.

Because of this, supervising and guarding this secret realm has been the duty of successive Qingcheng Mountain sect leaders, and they absolutely won’t leave the Ba and Shu region without a major event.

"Laojun Mountain Sect Leader Guan Tianzi... might not come either; he’s not in good health." Fang Changle whispered.

Guan Tianzi is the master of Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang, the current sect leader of Laojun Mountain.

It is said that he encountered a problem with his cultivation when he was young and never fully recovered. He spends almost half the year in seclusion.

This time, he’s probably going to miss the excitement as well.

"What about Kongtong Mountain?" Zhang Fan asked.

Kongtong Mountain is the most mysterious and low-key among the Ten Great Daoist Mountains, and one hardly hears any tales about it. Even Zhang Fan, as he blends with the Daoist sects, has never encountered any disciples from Kongtong Mountain.

"Probably won’t come either."

Fang Changle shook his head and said: "Kongtong Mountain Sect Leader’s name is Xie Ziran... he’s too old and probably won’t come down the mountain."

Among the sect leaders of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains, besides Li Chengge, who is the youngest and just over fifty, at the prime of his life.

The other sect leaders, including Chu Chaoran, are approximately centenarians and belong to the same era.

Yet, Kongtong Mountain Sect Leader Xie Ziran is different...

"He’s probably one hundred thirty this year." Fang Changle estimated.

If we take the great tribulation of the Daoist sects eighty years ago as a timeline, then Chu Chaoran was only in his twenties, considered a young man.

The Three Corpses Daoist was around forty, already holding the title of the world’s number one expert, at the height of his power.

Xie Ziran’s age is similar to the Three Corpses Daoist, in fact, they are from the same era, and compared to the other eight sect leaders, they are a generation apart.

"To live for so long." Zhang Fan said thoughtfully.

The lifespan of a cultivator, according to normal standards, should far exceed that of a normal person, especially upon reaching the [Sect Leader] realm, achieving great success in Destiny Skill, they can even control hormonal balance, and the body will not suffer from any diseases.
